Where do patience and persistence lead ?
29. I do not condemn your lack of faith, on the
contrary,
I
forgive you because you were not prepared to receive Me.
Because mankind slept deeply for centuries,
blinded by fanaticism and idolatry, by
materialism.
30. Who reminded you that I had announced that
I
would
return and that you had to watch to expect Me?
About your parents? About your pastors? Who
kept you awake?
31. Few lived in anticipation of events,
longing for the
symbolic "cloud" of my promise to
appear on the horizon,
to enlighten your soul, strengthen your body,
and reveal
to you
that my return is in the spirit.
32. Therefore, your struggle to understand my
presence
at this time has been great, and you have had
many
obstacles to overcome to get to me.
But all of this is meritorious, I am grateful
to you and I tell
you that none of the bitternesses that you may
have suffered
to follow Me in this way will remain without a
reward.
33. What do you think is the compensation for
your
patience
to endure mockery and contempt even within your family ?:
the
conversion of your relatives! However, since you had
enough patience to endure their lack of
understanding,
you also have to wait for the time when your
faith will ignite.
In order
to achieve this, you have to put a lot of effort into doing
things,
with words, prayers and good thoughts.
But eventually you will see the miracle come
true.
34. I will give you the mission to announce my
return to your
fellow human beings. I entrust you with the
message or happy
news of my spiritual communication with
humanity.
Enjoy the thought that you are the bearer of
such a precious message,
and let this joy be the balm for the wounds
that you receive on the battle path.
35. Some have come to the expression of my word
with the innocence of those shepherds of
Bethlehem,
their simple faith was the humble offering of
their hearts.
Others came to me for evidence to be able to
believe.
It was the sick who had long sought door to
door health without finding it.
Still others, like the scribes and the
Pharisees, come to investigate,
question, and test Me, always fearing that the
truth will
reveal their hypocrisy and their falseness. I
received everyone,
I had a
caress for everyone, a demonstration of my power, a proof of my truth.
36. I also have to tell you that of all those I
have mentioned,
many have stayed to follow Me because their
hearts
were full of thanks and their souls were
illuminated by
the light of my word in the desire to learn how
you sow
and cultivate the truth.
37. From a small crowd that gathered to hear my
first teachings,
you have already become crowds that form a
community.
But for the time being, not everyone will be
able to
become true apostles of this message of
spiritualization.
38. Among these multitudes there are people of
every mood
and constitution, just as there are souls of
different development
among them. However, in order for this divine
revelation,
this
message that I brought in my word, to finally
be clarified and clearly understood among the
people who
attended my rallies, it will have to go through
many trials,
have to
endure many inner struggles and suffer many "melting pots"
until it emerges from them as a true disciple
of spiritualism.
