Reparation and the Time of Exams
218:18 Since you already have the experience of
past ages
and know that there is the law of reparation -
why
do you want to fall back on the previous
mistakes instead
of taking a big step forward on your way?
220:6 Spiritually I shed my blood drop by drop
to pave
the way for you to make amends
so that you never leave the way again.
13. Whenever man has turned from my law and has
not
listened
to the voice of his conscience, he has penetrated
into the
night of temptation, darkness and sin.
Then I had to judge his actions and he
experienced pain
during my judgment. But I have always given him
the opportunity
to repent and given him time to make amends:
the
sinner has bowed to my judgment.
But later, when he received my forgiveness and
gifts,
he fell back into his sin. To show you the way
to your reparation,
your God became human among you, and the
Universal Mother had to become a woman
to redeem you with her motherly love.
222:22 You are now going through days of trial,
times of
purification and reparation. But I am with you
to help you not to become weak in the test.
Confirm yourself
that you are the same people as those of
yesteryear: a strong,
courageous people, a lifeboat for the castaway,
a good travel companion, a friend, brother and
role model.
The task I have entrusted to you today is to
love.
Love is the seed that I sowed in you because
it is the origin and the reason for all
creatures.
232:.13 Agree with your exams. To those who
have not
received what they asked for and who they
believe is for their
own good, I say: I know your destiny; but what
you ask
me for will not bring you happiness, it will
only cause you suffering.
Think about your reparation.
You will not enjoy complete peace on earth.
Only the fulfillment of duty will give you
peace of mind today.
But
tomorrow, when you are in the spiritual life, you will say
to me: "Father, you knew how to guide me
as it was good for my soul.
Because if you had granted me what I asked you
for,
I would be in it gone astray or I would
have delayed my arrival with you. "
235:80 Man will loathe war after the days of
trial.
He will banish hatred and resentment from his
heart,
persecute sin, and begin a life of reparation
and reconstruction.
Many will feel inspired by a light they have
not seen
before and will set out to create a world of
peace.
238:8 The true prayer will come, the high-level
spiritual
worship of God, which is pleasing to my divine
eyes –
the
properly understood penance, which is repentance,
improvement and reparation for the wrongdoings
committed.
True love based on the purity of the heart will
appear in people,
and people will understand that short moments
are
enough for prayer, but that in order to
accomplish their task,
to do
good to people, they need every moment of their life.
239: 22 But do not confuse justice with
retribution,
nor reparation with punishment. Because I only
allow you
to harvest the fruits of your seeds and eat
them so that
you can
tell by their taste and their effects whether
they are good or harmful, whether you have sown
good or bad.
239: 57 How many lessons the desert of your
life has
revealed to you! How much did you learn in the
life struggle,
and how
much strengthened you are in pain!
Tomorrow, when you have entered the Promised
Land of Spirit
and the gates of the New Jerusalem open to
receive
you in their womb of peace, you will bless the
time
of your reparation, which is that of crossing
the vast
desert of trials and was the purification.
241:1 I receive you, people who come to feed on
the divine word, which is the bread of the
soul.
I come
to you out of love that I have for you.
Oh you people who only move towards pain, blood
and fear!
The shadows of materialism have obscured
people's gaze,
so they cannot see the way to make amends.
51. It is a time of reparation in which you
live, in which you
will not have perfect joys or lasting peace.
This earth is not your fatherland. You are
temporary residents
of it and, depending on your merits, work out a
better,
higher life than this.
