Teaching 177
1. Humanity, which you are represented at this moment by this church, which kneels down repentantly and fearfully before the presence of its Lord: with what can you pay your debt of love and be truly pleasing to your Father?
2. I will tell you the way to do this: by struggling for your peace and spiritual upliftment. Thus shall you wash away your guilt and lift up your souls.
3. I grant you a certain time to satisfy in it the desire of your soul. The new age rises before your eyes like a radiant day full of promises and revelations. With its light it wants to tell you: Fight! And in this word is contained the Father's commission. Fight for peace, for renewal, for the victory of spiritualization.
4. I imprint these words in your conscience so that it may repeat them to you at every turn.
5. Be aware that my love is a city that you must take. There are many obstacles and many enemies that you must conquer. They will give you a battle to stop you; but in your hands an invisible sword sparkles if you know how to wield it. It is the sword of love.
Fight, conquer with it and do not doubt, for in the end you will see the city fall, because your love has conquered the Father.
6. I wanted to create in your midst a few fraternal and hospitable families, so that the "caravans" of homeless people who are longing for peace and mercy may enter your homes to share in the love I have put in you. But your preparation was slow; you were late, and the caravans of the homeless stopped in the desert when they saw that the star that guided their steps stopped in its path. Therefore I do not want men to find you "sleeping" or sinning when you are awake; for then you will not be able to witness my return, but will have betrayed your Master.
7. I give you time to repent of your transgressions and to rebuild your lives. The father of the family who has transgressed his duties by forsaking his own shall rise up and restore the home.
8. Let those who have joined themselves to those who have fallen into vice rise up and overcome the weaknesses of the flesh, using the will and power of their Spirit until they are healed. Let all who are servants of this work unite in the Spirit, love one another and stand by one another. Then the star, which has stopped on its course and thereby brought "the great caravans in the desert" to a halt, will continue its course and show those crowds of people the way that leads to the land of peace.
9. When those people who came fleeing from war, death and destruction, and who carried in their hearts the memory images of hatred and crime, enter into the circle of a community in which in every home a sanctuary of true love rises, where in every marriage the light of my law shines, where parents love their children, and the children love and honor the parents, where the little children are guided with tenderness and wisdom and where the old are respected ─ do you not think that in the face of such signs of reverence for my law they will confess that a miracle has occurred in this community which can only be attributed to the mercy of the Father?
10. O people, you have been hard and ungrateful until now! I have not demanded any sacrifice from you nor demanded the impossible from you. If it sometimes seems difficult to you to follow my teaching, it is because of your lack of love. For the one who loves, there are neither obstacles, nor abysses, nor impossibilities, because love is the divine power that animates everything, that moves everything.
11. Come to my fields, O you multitudes of men. The field awaits you to receive the sowing of your love and later to reward your efforts with the sweet fruit that will come forth from its womb.
12. Unite yourselves firmly through the bonds of brotherhood, for temptation is upon my people, war is approaching in the desire for a gateway where the watchman sleeps, so that pestilence, hunger and disease with new, unknown properties may enter into the bosom of this nation.
13. I have given you earthly science to fight these calamities and to remove these sufferings. But I have taught you a science that is higher, to which all enemies of light, all destroyers of health and peace bow. This science is the power of love, which is strengthened in prayer.
14. Reflect on these words, O people, and then listen to what your conscience advises you.
15. My Spirit sends you his peace, which you do not always know how to keep. when will you learn to carry Me within you without any of your actions or any of your thoughts rejecting Me?
16. Let no one be confused when I tell him that I want you to carry Me in the innermost part of your heart, for I want my light and my peace to dwell in you
17. It is my judge's voice that on this day rejects you your lack of duty, your lack of love for this work which I have entrusted to you and which is your destiny It is the divine voice which now reaches you through conscience and makes your heart tremble when it asks you: What have you done with all that I have revealed and taught you in this Third Age?
18. For moments you are aware of the responsibility that has been given to your Spirit. But understanding is only like a ray of light that briefly penetrates you, and then you sink again into weakness because you always think of yourselves as immature, sick and needy, when in reality you have a treasure of divine gifts within reach.
19. If you find an accusation in my words, it is born of love. You are not to call me unjust, for if I really were, and if you were to encounter "wrath" in me, as you say, my righteousness would have wiped you out long ago. But I do not destroy my own works; I set you on the way of development, so that you may reach your perfection on it.
20. I tell you that the truthful conception of God is not yet known on earth, although I sent Jesus so that you might know me through him. Understand: If I knew that man would not attain salvation, I would not come to him with the love with which I have always sought him. My presence among you is the striking proof that you will come to me, because the father knows very well the future and the destiny of all his children.
21. I will cause the word I have given you in this time to be written down with clarity, so that mankind may find in that book the explanation of many of the teachings they had not understood and the correct interpretation of my teaching. Then from that knowledge the true fear will arise ─ not the fear of divine punishment, but the sorrow of staining oneself through sin, of offending the Creator, of returning to the Father in the beyond with a stained soul, without having taken another step forward on the path of spiritualization and true knowledge.
22. With what will you be able to pay the debt of love you have toward your Father? With what will you be able to pay him who continually forgives your insults and ingratitude? I will tell you: by doing works worthy of my divinity, by serving and loving one another.
23. A new year lies ahead of you, and in the one that is just coming to an end I do not demand an account from nature nor from its elements: I make myself known in your conscience and ask you what you have done concerning your mission and what use you have made of the time and the gifts I have entrusted to you.
24. The year that is coming to an end spoke to Me of your struggles, your tears, your efforts, your toil, but also of grief, blood, ruins and hatred This painful balance brought the now past year before my presence.
25. I grant you a new year, and before your eyes it appears on the horizon like a strip of light that lights your hope for the future. That light is the voice that will tell you daily: Fight!
26. Yes, men, fight for peace, fight for renewal, fight for justice!
27. Four years will my word give you only to take leave of this "day. Know how to use this precious time. My work will not end in 1950 because it belongs to eternity, nor will your task end at that time. Rather, then your fight will only really begin, because during the time of my rallies you were only in preparation.
28. Understand how to unite the spiritual and the earthly task in one law, so that you can offer the Father a good fulfillment.
29. I teach you not only to give Me what is due Me; I teach you also to give to Caesar what is Caesar's.
30. The world shall soon know of you, and through you men shall know of my coming, of my wonders and my teachings. People will investigate these places of gathering and judge your life. Among them will come men of power, clergymen of sects and churches, scientists and those who explore the hereafter. It is my wish that in the bosom of your meetings and in the bosom of your home ─ you will show, if not perfection, then at least the same harmony, morality, respect, love for one another and spiritualization.
31. What would those who come here in their desire for truth think if they discovered fanaticism among you in your spiritual forms of devotion and found in your private lives the spouses separated or the children abandoned because their parents did not know how to fulfill their duties?
32. Behold the birds which build their nests in the branches of the trees, and take you an example from them, if you need it. Do not ask me how those who marry should love each other and how they should love their children. Look up to these nests and you will discover there a lesson of faithfulness and tenderness. If only all men would love each other so!
33. Watch and fight so that when the year 1950 ends, you may offer the Father fruits worthy of him. For if you are not prepared then, there will be great pain among the multitudes at the moment of my departure.
34. If you should not prepare yourselves to endure the absence of my word ─ how painful then will be for you my farewell and also that which my spiritual world tells you.
35. On this day when my Spirit has filled you with peace and blessings ─ what more could you ask me for?
36. Now it is I who ask you, who knock on the doors of your hearts and ask you to love one another
37. Pray sincerely for peace among nations, feel deeply the pain of mankind
38. Verily I say to you, plagues and death are surrounding your nation. You have no scientific means to stop the invasion of plagues and hardships. But make use of prayer, and you will discover in it weapons and powers to fight these calamitous dangers. Pray and unite your prayer with good works, then you will have real merits before your Lord, who is omnipotent, who for your humility will grant you miracles capable of astonishing the world.
39. When the forces of nature are unleashed, and give signs of judgment, then pray, and remain calm, and weep not for your sake, but for the sake of others. But dry the tears of him who longs for you, hear his lamentation and give him the balm of salvation.
40. Dearly beloved mankind, do not believe that I have come back in this time for this reason, to demand of you my blood shed in the Second Time ─ no, that life essence remains anchored in your souls This blood will speak in each of you when the time comes. Until then, many expect the Son of God to come back to claim His blood from Him once again. In every heart of my children I am currently living my divine passion.
41. I am born in man in his innocence when he awakens to faith. I suffer in him when his passions are unleashed and scourge him. I bear the heavy cross of his sins, ingratitude and pride. I die in his heart when he denies Me and declares that he has no other Lord, nor any other King but the world. There, in the deepest and most hidden part of his being, I find my grave.
42. At times that heart, as if it were a distant echo, hears the voice of the Master ─ of him whom he wishes to kill in himself, so that he would not put obstacles in his way. It is the voice of his conscience that succeeds in overcoming the wall of materialism that surrounds that heart, until it finally makes itself heard.
43. Just as I have found in every heart of mankind a cross and a grave ─ verily, I tell you, so there will be a third day in all of them, when I will rise full of light and glory.
44. Today the seed fields are unfruitful. At times you want to give value to your life by sowing the good in any of its forms. But afterwards you give it up and lament your undertaking, because instead of arable land that would allow you to sow, you have found only stones; and this is because you have not understood that before sowing you must know the fields where you intend to do it. Walk them, prepare them, clean them and make them fertile. This, my children, you do not yet understand to do. This is the reason why your good intentions, ideas and inspirations have often failed.
But do not therefore despair in your struggle; rather, you can bring your fellow men to awakening by opening their eyes to the truth and light of this time, so that men may become aware that every pain that men are forced to drink as a cup of suffering is the justice-creating sickle that cuts off the weeds by the root. It is the wise and relentless justice that ploughs and prepares the fields.
For after this it will bring men, peoples and nations to awakening, and it will no longer be necessary for pain to wash away all transgressions; for in its place will remain the repentance, reflection and renewal of those who wish to achieve the same goal, which is that of purification.
But when you have attained this, a time will come when this word will be heard throughout the world as a song of love and a return to peace.
45. Today I see you without understanding of all that is coming upon you because there is a complete ignorance and confusion among men.
46. Most people call themselves Christians, and yet on most occasions they prove the contrary with their lives and deeds.
47. When they do something good, they make it known and boast about it, and when they have made a mistake, repent of it and ask Me for forgiveness, they do it in such a way that they prove with it that they do not even know what my forgiveness consists of
48. Now you can tell the world, O people, that you hear this word, that my light has come to men again, especially since you can also announce to them that mankind will soon shake off its lethargy.
49. I will not again give you human blood to save you from sin. When my divine blood, which was shed in that Second Time, spoke to you of divine and infinite love, of sublime forgiveness and eternal life, you shall understand that that blood did not for a moment cease to pour out on you, on your being, to show with its trace the way to your upward development.
50. No one shall expect or seek me as man. For if I were willing to grant you this wish, such a manifestation would not be timely, and you must understand that the master will never do anything that is not perfect because his teachings are always perfect, because he teaches the perfect.
51. Likewise, when this form of manifestation which I have now used with you comes to an end, there will be no supplication or entreaty which will cause me not to fulfill what I have announced to you. This rallies will be over forever, because its time will then have run out and its task will be finished.
52. 2000 years will soon be over since I as man have been among you, and the blood which I have bequeathed to you as a proof of my love is the inheritance that is still fresh.
53. Nevertheless the world demands my blood once more, and I will give it to it; but not that which animates the body, but that which gives eternal life to the soul. With my light I will send life and health to men. It will be like a sun that will let its warmth reach the freezing hearts of this humanity.
54. My mercy will spread over all, as if
would be the wings of a lark covering its young. My love will be softer and more beautiful than the blue firmament your eyes admire so much. You will feel my breath of life as if it were a heavenly breeze that only your soul can perceive. I am time, life and also eternity. I am the spring and the summer, the autumn and the winter of your life, and each of these life phases is a tangible and living teaching that the Divine Master gives to his children.
55. Let the divine morning dew penetrate your soul so that it may experience an eternal spring. Allow your heart to grow weary under the burning sun of the struggle for life, but at the same time allow the flowers of virtue, faith and love to remain fresh in the innermost part of your being.
56. Why are you sad? You do not know. I know very well that sorrow depresses you, because you have allowed your souls to become sick at the same time as your bodies. When the storm of passions or trials scourges you, or the "snow of winter" makes you freeze, then you lose all hope and desire to live.
57. My Spirit too is grieved because He always sees this humanity weeping, which does not want to awaken and become aware that this earth is still an earthly paradise. I see you dying of hunger, although you are surrounded by fertility and life. It is this humanity that I mean when I say to you, "They have eyes and do not see.
58. People have run after science without measure or purpose, and they have discovered many "miracles. But that miracle that gives true peace, true health and true happiness, of all the goods of the earth, they have not discovered, because it is beyond the human, where man just did not want to go. This "divine science" was taught by Jesus when He told you: "Love one another.
59. Seek the kingdom of Jesus, which is not of this world, and you will find in it the necessary light and peace to make this life on earth more beautiful and easier.
60. Now you come here to receive the divine commission. I see you ready to obey my law by trying to follow the trail that Jesus left behind.
61. It has been a long time since I was among you, but even now I am still knocking at the doors of your hearts to make you love one another
62. Blessed is he who was able to prepare himself to receive in his heart the heavenly Father, for He gives him at all times the opportunity to do good, in view of the fact that the disciple wants to be with his Master.
63. When you encounter a trial in this year that begins for you, be strong and do not despair. Then you will be able to prove to your fellow men the power that exists in your Spirit. They will then want to know the source from which you have drunk, and will discover that I, Christ, am the source from which they have strayed so far.
64. Verily, I tell you, to this source men of all races and religions will come, because in all the cult forms which men will then consecrate to Me, spirituality will be present, and finally all will come very close to the truth, to unity.
65. Disciples, there were moments when you felt my righteousness and I humbly saw you confess before my divine Spirit. Then I turned my eyes away from your sins and directed them only to the fact that you are my children whom I love and whom I forgive. Thus I teach you to love your neighbor and to forgive him.
66. Do not let time pass without making use of it, for no one knows how long he still lives in this world. Therefore I tell you: Do not wait for a more suitable time than the present one to start your work. While you are waiting for better times, death shall not surprise you, without harvest and without fulfillment of commission.
67. The year 1950 is drawing near, in which I will bid you farewell in regard to this rallies, and that farewell will be felt by you as my disciples of the Second Age felt it when I announced to them that the hour of my departure had come.
68. If those had the consolation to see Me again after my death, it was to imprint the truth of spiritual life with fire in their soul. But among you only some will see the human form of Jesus. The others will feel him deeply, and this will be the way to connect with me from Spirit to Spirit.
69. Watch and pray for the peace of the earth, so that the many hardships may come to an end, for on it the seeds of the new generations are sown
My peace be with you!
