Apocalypse 3: I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.
Here proves Saint Pio's teaching of the importance of praying for souls of Christ going through Purgatory. The benefit for the buyer, who purchases by way of prayer- is one's own covering. Your own fleshly practices will not be exposed and your eyes anointed with salve -tears of repentance, which is the salve that helps to imbue more grace. It gives sight to your eyes to see scripture clearly. A contrite heart brings grace, for God shows you mercy. All grace is unmerited favor.
It is given while one is still in sin. For all, from the moment that Christ was given to the world, were called while yet sinners.
Romans 5: 6For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
In the praise of Mary in the Rosary is the means by which souls are tested. It is the testing of all spirits in 1 John 4. Hail or praise of Mother Mary is the Salve Regina which exposes heretics, apostates and every spirit for what it is. If in Mortal Sin the Rosary cannot be recited. So, if a religious or any man can recite it, he is not in Mortal sin. The Ark of the New Covenant is the means by which we enter battle, the means by which we call another brother. It is the ties which bind, an umbilical cord to the divine Mother who helps in our delivery from the world. It helps us to accomplish " Be in the world but not of it"-Jesus the Christ.
Continuing with Apocalypse 3........ Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Since we are in this wonderful thread called Purgatory, I think it best we accomplish our refinement here on earth because we are in the end of God's times.
Matthew 25:
I love this parable. Why is the Lord comparing apples to apples I said within myself when I first pondered it. Then the thought came to me, He is comparing two types of virginity actually. One is a physical virginity and the other is spiritual born-again virginity. Some have taken a vow of physical chastity and given their physical virginity to their vow in serving Christ. It is a parable about which is most important to Christ. The foolish virgins unfortunately did not maintain sufficient oil to get them to the Wedding Feast nor kept their wicks properly trimmed. Why? It is simple, though they have a vow and kept their physical virginity, they did not lean into the word for learning. They have dedicated themselves to maintaining an institute's image as opposed to serving the Lord. They were too busy serving man's doctrine over the Truth of the gospel. They embraced teachers who are in error, therefore, neglect the weightier matters of the law. Instead of standing on Christ alone they gave ear to lying spirits and the teachings of wolves in sheep's clothing. They refused correction, they refuse the truth of the eternal gospel for non-biblical "Church" teachings. I argue though, any "church" teaching which contradicts the first believer's teachings is a lie. If it cannot be folded into the written word of the scriptures left to us, it is wood hay and straw.
It is, as I like to call it, 'The Sevenfold Principle of Teaching Doctrine'. It is based off of Psalm 12: ..........
The Godless are No More
…5“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.” 6The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold. 7You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.…
See, throughout the Christian history there have been wolves which have arisen to gather to themselves followers after their own lustful teachings. This has been the case since the beginning of Christ's ministry. This is proven with Judas. He betrayed with a kiss. Some enter the church only to destroy. They may not even know that is what their "calling" will result in. They enter with good intentions many times. As the saying goes however, "The path to hell is paved with good intentions". Many believe God has called them to serve. However, it is a fact when Christ said at the Last Supper " Did I not call you the twelve? Yet one of you is a devil". Point is, if you read scripture thoroughly and regularly, you learn, that Jesus Himself did not call Judas. Sometimes in what is not said is the answer. Christ called all the others personally. Yet nowhere in scripture does it state that Jesus personally called Judas. Judas chose to follow just as men do today and throughout Christian history.
Point is, going back to 'The Sevenfold Principle of Teaching Doctrine' one's teaching must fold with what has been given to us as scripture. If it doesn't it is anathema! To fold something - The term "fold" generally means to bend something over on itself so that one part covers another. It can refer to both physical objects, like paper or fabric, and abstract concepts, such as ideas or agreements. So, one's teachings must be able to fold with scripture. That is the Sevenfold Principle. That is why the gospel is eternal and the Chosen themselves are called God's words in scripture.
The foolish virgins stand on institutional lies rather than biblical truths. They support erroneous teachers in all ranks rather than Truth! Prove this wrong.
The wise virgins however, tested all the spirits. They kept their oil flowing because they used discernment with knowing the written word of God. The Holy Spirit fire, therefore, kept their wicks trimmed because their fire never went out. It is like with any candle or lantern. The fire itself keeps the wicks trimmed. The moral of the story is, spiritual virginity is more important than physical virginity. That is what gets us to the Wedding Feast and is the means by which we recognize the times. Our religious standing before God is not determined by men but by God alone. It is the difference between spiritual harlotry and virginity kept once born-again in the spirit of the incorruptible seed of the holy enduring Word of God. The difference between Immaculate and corruption is where one's loyalty resides. So, whether you choose, abstinence or marriage, it is fidelity to Christ which allows for the important virginity, the one that really matters to survive. The most important virginity maintained, is that of a born-again soul.
Saint Paul proves the point I am making, even going so far as to ask those in foolishness to bear with the truth he is to reveal about following false teachers.
2 Corinthians 11:
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ(Hence, foolish virgins only physical virginity, which is not what is important). For if someone comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you submit to it readily enough. I think that I am not in the least inferior to these superlative apostles. Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not in knowledge; in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.
The word of the Lord! Praise be to God!

Biblical
In Christian theology, grace refers to God’s unmerited favor, meaning blessings, forgiveness, and salvation given to humans without them deserving it or earning it through works or righteousness (Ephesians 2:8–9).
It is given while one is still in sin. For all, from the moment that Christ was given to the world, were called while yet sinners.
Romans 5: 6For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Matthew 25:
The Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids
25 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be compared to ten maidens who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7Then all those maidens rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. But the wise replied, ‘Perhaps there will not be enough for us and for you; go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. 11Afterward the other maidens came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12But he replied, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.I love this parable. Why is the Lord comparing apples to apples I said within myself when I first pondered it. Then the thought came to me, He is comparing two types of virginity actually.

2 Corinthians 11:
Paul and the False Apostles
11 I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me! I feel a divine jealousy for you, for I betrothed you to Christ to present you as a pure bride to her one husband. ( Why Christ calls groomsmen -popes, priest, bishops, Cardinals- husbands in the church body. It is because they are commissioned to preserve Truth. Unfortunately, this admonishment shows those who do not, are not part of the Apostolic Order and should not be followed, as the foolish virgins follow. Christ's voice alone should be heeded to. If you do not hear Christ in the groomsmen, then they do not represent the One True Husband of the soul. They are not representatives of Christ). Paul continues........But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ(Hence, foolish virgins only physical virginity, which is not what is important). For if someone comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you submit to it readily enough. I think that I am not in the least inferior to these superlative apostles. Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not in knowledge; in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.
