The messages are about personal holiness through Holy Love. The messages are part of Holy Love Ministries. Holy Love Ministries is an ecumenical ministry that promotes a unity in Christ for all people. There is a shrine that can be visited that is associated with the messages.
Maureen Sweeney-Kyle is an American visionary and recipient of the Holy Love messages. She has received a significant amount of messages.
More info can be found online about the visionary. Some biographical information, messages from Our Lady, information concerning her spiritual directors, and a picture of her meeting John Paul II in August 1999 can be viewed here.
The messages that are online are from 1986-2025.
The messages are from heavenly sources. These sources include Jesus, Mary, and various saints.
The online messages are prominently displayed. They are well-organized. The layout is user friendly.
There is no official Catholic Church endorsement of the messages. Nor is there a ban against reading the messages.
An explanation for apparitions and visionaries to Roman Catholics is provided in a book related to the Holy Love messages called A Pilgrim's Guide to Maranatha Spring and Shrine, 2022.
The explanation is from The Discernment of Visionaries and Apparitions Today by Albert J. Hebert, S.M., Page III.
The explanation is as follows: “Since the abolition of Canon 1399 and 2318 of the former Code of Canon Law by Paul VI in AAS58 (1966) page 1186, publications about new apparitions, revelation, prophecies, miracles, etc., have been allowed to be distributed and read by the faithful without the express permission of the Church, providing that they contain nothing which contravenes faith and morals. This means, no imprimatur is necessary.”.
There are positive and negative criteria to be weighed in the discernment process associated with Marian apparitions and other religious phenomena.
A link to the norms that went into effect on May 19, 2024, concerning investigations of Marian apparitions and other religious phenomena can be viewed at this Catholic News Agency article.
There are letters of endorsements and approbations associated with the messages. (According to the encyclopedia on Catholic Answers, an approbation is “an act by which a bishop or other legitimate superior grants to an ecclesiastic the actual exercise of his ministry.”.)
There are two archbishops and a bishop listed among the letters of endorsements and approbations.
Excluding these individuals, there are people with educational achievements among the letters of endorsements and approbations.
The letters of endorsements and approbations can be viewed here.
There are also testimonies of those who have experienced or witnessed miracles. These testimonies can be viewed here.
Holy Love is defined in various ways in the messages. I am highlighting some definitions from a Holy Love message given by Jesus on November 08, 2010.
Holy Love is
· “The Two Great Commandments of Love—to love God above all else and to love neighbor as self.”.
· “The fulfillment and the embodiment of the Ten Commandments.”.
· “The measure by which souls will be judged.”.
· “The Immaculate Heart of Mary.”.
· “God’s Divine Will.”.
If you want to read an in-depth discussion about Holy Love, you can see literature from their Welcome Center.
I believe these messages help prepare the person for Christ’s second coming.
I have found them helpful in my spiritual life. They have helped my relationship with Jesus by calling me to focus more on him and his love for me.
His love is perfect. It is holier than any idea of love a human person could conceive.
I recommend these messages.
I recommend not judging the messages but encountering them. Encountering the messages in the spirit of the new evangelization will help you to read and be the Holy Love message.
A personal experience with the Holy Love message leads to authenticity, conversion, and mission.
Holy Love supports the teachings of Jesus Christ as found in Scripture and Tradition. Holy Love supports the Magisterium in interpreting the truth and guiding the faithful.
Holy Love does not compete with truth but makes it known.
I believe there is a strong argument for Church approval.
I am comfortable reading and recommending the messages as a Catholic.
Discernment is individual and it is fitting for each person to decide if the Holy Love messages and Holy Love are for him or her.
