A spiritual people will burst forth
It has been
my will to have the word written down that I hand
over to you
because there are predictions, announcements,
messages in
it that should be known to the people of tomorrow.
Because
often your memory fails you.
My Word
makes an enlightened people that includes men and
women all
over the world, and their power will be grounded
in their
spirituality. To these people I will entrust the restoration
of peace in
the world, justice, morality and true faith. Today,
humanity
seems to be sleeping.
But with
real surprise, you will see some communities, when they
hear the
voice of my messengers, open the doors of their hearts
as the
flowers open to receive the warmth and caress of the sun's rays.
You who are
listening to Me now are already part of the people
that will
grow in the future until it covers the whole earth. Your job is
to exhort
people to give up their materialism, to preach the Spirit-to-Spirit
dialogue,
and to keep their fellow-believers in faith
when the
great trials come together over them.
The duty of
the people that will arise is to remain united, in spite
of the
trials and thunderstorms that can whip it. If it were scattered,
the battle
had been lost, the star that had guided it until then would
have
disappeared, and it would be lost in the immense loneliness of
the desert. What is the testimony that would set it from
my truth?
How about
the example that would exist for his fellow men?
Beloved
disciples, bear in mind: Since I came down to speak to you,
making my
divine presence and word perceivable through you,
your Master
must propose a great act of salvation.
But you,
whom I have taught and loved, must not rob
my divine
teaching in any way.
Disciples,
if you want to have spiritual gifts, let love and desire
to do good
be what gives you that desire. Seek my
Grace not only
with the
intention of flattering your vanity, because then you feel
somehow
standing over your fellow man. Also do
not seek to make
your
fortune by usurping by these gifts. Truly, I say to you, as soon
as love
expects any payment, it stops from that moment on, to be love.
And as soon
as a good deed proves to be rewarded, it is no longer a blessing.
Therefore,
I point out to you that if you have the desire to possess
one of
these gifts, it must be the love that feeds you into it.
Anyone who
wants to follow Me in this way must free his heart
of all
selfishness, of every egoism and vanity. Only with a pure heart
can one
feel my love. When I discover that one
of you is engaged
in
performing a good deed, praying for a
distressed fellow, and I see
that his
heart is in grief because of the pain of his neighbor, then I
leave him
my divine love to get a drop of my healing balm,
and I grant
him the miracle he asked for. At that
moment, the child,
who
interceded with the Father for his fellow-man, flows through
a very
great blessing, because he has granted what was asked of him
to the
needy, who received my benefaction.
If, on the
other hand, the one who has the task of practicing neighborly
charity
abuses his gifts for selfish purposes, he has, without being aware of it,
deprived
himself of the grace of the Father and can then give nothing;
he then
cheats on himself and cheats on his fellow human beings.
This poor
"worker" sows weeds instead of wheat on his way.
Having done
his evil deeds, he has a very bitter taste, a discontent,
a
restlessness, and he can not discover in the benevolent countenance
of his
father that loving smile that blesses and confirms his works,
nor is he
able to do so with his brother to make the influence of his
spiritual
gifts palpable.
If the
patient became well, or the afflicted received consolation or
a miracle
happened, then this miracle was due not to that "worker"
but to the
infinite compassion of the Father for the destitute, who
in his
ignorance has set all his confidence in the evil disciple of the Lord.
Yet the
evil servant, when done, attributes the miracle to his intercessions,
his spiritual
gifts, and uses that testimony to increase the number
of those
who trust in him. Those must then seek out my righteousness,
so that
they may restrain their erroneous steps, reflect on the falsities
of their
works, and return to the right way.
For those
who repented of their transgressions at the first visitation
by my
righteousness, chose not to follow the path of their aberrations,
and
endeavored to redeem all their violations, proving that the
gratifications
of the soul are incomparable to those of the earth.
The others
have little esteemed the peace left by a good work in the
heart, have
accepted flattery or miserable payment with a coin, and
realized
too late that the former makes the soul great,
and the
second makes it small and decreased.
Anyone who
is a "worker in my fields" must know that I sent him
to testify
of Me. But for his testimony to be true, he must be justified
by his
works, by deeds of charity, good words, and good thoughts,
ensuring
that his heart remains pure, that I may manifest myself in him.
Once I said
to you, "He who knows the Son knows the Father,"
by which I
wanted to tell you that in my works on earth you could
know the
love that your Father has always radiated down upon you.
Now I tell
you that I want to be recognized in the works of my disciples.
When this
people finally understands Me and directs their lives
after this
instruction and embraces their cross with true love,
people will
awaken, become conscious of their works, and see for
themselves
that it is the truth that guides them.
Then they
will regard my work as a divine revelation, and they will
call it
religion, teaching or belief. Learn and understand, O disciples,
what the
mission is I have told you. Think of your responsibilities
and examine
each of your works so that they all follow the truth of my teaching.
In many
societies, religious orders and communities, people
tend to
call themselves "brothers". Her lips pronounce the
affectionate
word "brother", mostly without feeling it in the heart.
Truly, I
say to you, if you took the time to delve into the meaning
of this
Word, you could discover the Source of Life from which you came forth.
You would
understand my divine tenderness, and all this would
make you
tremble with remorse, when you think of the detachment
in which
you have lived among each other, the indifference
with which
you look to those whom you call strangers, and to
the Insults
that you constantly inflict on each other.
