INTRODUCTION

This Website is dedicated to the glory of the Heavenly Father who first loved us. [1 Jn. 4:19] By the grace of the Lord Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, it is hoped that the content of these pages will help the faithful to gain spiritual growth in the fullness of the knowledge and understanding of the Most Holy Name of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The content of the private revelations that are found on this Website do not belong to the deposit of faith of the Catholic Church. They are classified as 'private' revelations in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Their release is not to improve or complete the definitive Revelation of Christ, but rather to help the faithful to live a more fully Christian life during the present period of history. [Catechism 65-67]

Fr. Maurice Levesque, a Roman Catholic Diocesan priest, is the webmaster of this website. Since 1998, he has undertaken to spiritually discern the source of the private revelations received by the silent voice. During this process, he has dedicated endless hours towards:

1) Reading all of the 'private' revelations;

2) Discussing them with the silent voice;

3) Thoroughly researching their spiritual soundness according to the teachings of Catholic Church that are found in:

- the Bible,
- the Catechism of the Catholic Church,
- the liturgy of the Church,
- the Church Traditions, and
- the writings of Doctors of the Church such as St. Thomas Aquinas.

4) Comparing the nature and writing style of the private revelations of the silent voice to the nature and writing style of other writers of private revelations.

After a thorough examination of the private revelations and a review of the spiritual manifestations that the silent voice has experienced, Fr. Maurice Levesque believes that the private revelations that are found on this website have been spiritually discerned according to the requirements of the Catholic Church and that they are worthy of belief.

[Future messages will continue to be discerned by the above minimum standards.]

After a thorough review of the spiritual manifestations of the silent voice, the Spiritual Director has concluded that these would be classified as a gift of the Word of Knowledge. [1 Cor. 12:8]

The private revelations of the silent voice have been classified as a gift of the Word of Knowledge because:

1) The content of the private revelations received during the past two years, in particular on the subject of the necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation, was recentled affirmed by the August 6, 2000 release of the Document "Dominus Iesus" by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

Contrary to the belief of many who misunderstood the spirit of ecumenism and who were becoming indifferent to the unique richness of the Catholic Faith, the private revelations of the silent voice have continually maintained that all Churches are not equal, nor is there Salvation through a number of Churches.

2) The spiritual indepth perception of the mystery of the Sacrament of Baptism, in particular as to how the human spirit dies, is buried, and is raised with Christ as a new creation.

3) From the simplicity of the private revelations that have been revealed through the silent voice through the gift of the Word of Knowledge, many of the readers having been filled with awe. Many have asked, "Why weret these simple explanations not given to us before?"

4) After Having read the private revelations of the silent voice, many visitors, by email, have shared their personal experience of a spiritual awakening, so powerful that it opened their spiritual minds to a richer understanding of the Catholic Faith and the Holy Scriptures.

While the above reflect a few of the ways in which the Holy Spirit, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, has touched the hearts of those who have read the private revelations of the silent voice, other factors were considered. Could the silent voice have experienced the gift of bilocation as he claimed? Or is his perception of the mystery of the Holy Trinity the result of the gift of the Word of Knowledge alone? Or again, is it a combination of both?

The Spiritual Director has come to the conclusion that had the silent voice not been blessed with the gift of bilocation, he would not have have been able to perceive the mystery of the the Holy Trinity. During the past two years, the Spiritul Director has been witness to the progressive gift of the Word of Knowledge that finally provided the silent voice with the necessary words to express what had been revealed to him. For it is not an easy task to explain spiritual matters in human terms.

Because of his personal experience with the gift of bilocation by the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, the silent voice was able to understand and persistantly defend what God had revealed to him. It took months for the Spiritual Director to finally grasp the spiritual knowledge and understanding that the silent voice enjoyed. As the silent voice continued to receive private revelations, the knowledge and understanding of the mystery of the Holy Trinity was gradually revealed in a simpler way so that the average faithful can also perceive it. This explains why so many of the readers are overcome with awe when they start reading the private revelations of the silent voice.

Some readers have expressed that their hearts have been so moved by the Holy Spirit that once they had started to read the private revelations of the silent voice, they could not stop. Some found themselves reading for hours, even hours after their bedtime. This spiritual power that touches the hearts cannot be overlooked, nor considered the work of man. Those who have read these private revelations, they are truly feeding their spiritual hunger. Their eyes and their ears are being opened to what the Holy Spirit is teaching through these writings.

The Spiritual Director wishes to also point out that he has personally been spiritually enriched after having read and studied the private revelations of the silent voice. In view of this, he recommends them as rich spiritual material for the faithful.

As the Holy BIble teaches us, "Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise the words of prophets, but test everything; hold fast to what is good." [1 Thess 5:19-21]

In accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church, private revelations are discerned in three steps:

1) First of all, the alleged mystic must submit himself to the discernment of a Spiritual Director.

2) Secondly, he must submited himself to the discernment of the local Bishop who may appoint a special Commission to review the writings and the alleged spiritual manifestation to determine their validity.

3) Finally, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith makes a final decision on the matter.

The private revelations of the silent voice are presently at the first level, that of the Spiritual Director.

The silent voice, the writer of the private revelations, while giving permission to his Spiritual Director, Fr. Maurice Levesque, to publicly release the messages of Jesus and Mary that he has been receiving, has asked to remain anonymous. This is in harmony with the truth that the readers should not place their focus on a man for their spiritual growth, but rather on Jesus and the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, they being the source of these private revelations. There is nothing that the silent voice can do to help the readers in their spiritual growth and needs. All graces come from God.

Respecting the wish of the silent voice to remain anonymous, the Spiritual Director has edited the content of some of the private revleations. All information that may identify the silent voice, references to names of priests, Parishes or their geographic location have been removed.

These private revelations were never publicly released prior to May, 1999.
