Is there true faith in your hearts ?
68. Have you asked yourself whether there is
true faith in your heart? Did you feel the warmth of this flame?
69. I now give you the proof that there is true
faith:
70. If the heart does not lose heart at the
hour of the test; when peace penetrates the soul at the most
critical moments. Whoever has faith is in accord with me because
I am life, health and salvation. Who is really looking for
this port and this lighthouse will not perish.
71. Those who possess this virtue do miracles
beyond
all human science and bear witness to the
spirit and the higher life.
72. The unbeliever will not make you fickle if
you believe in me, nor will the slander hurt you.
73. I have encouraged the faith in you, I have
strengthened
you through trials, so that you continue to
call in
the multitudes that will feed on your faith.
74. During this time I said to you: Do not seek
Me in
the bodies through which I speak to you,
because then you
would
take offense at their imperfections and would attribute
these
defects to my work. If you get to the bottom of the
word that those lips speak, you will discover
the
Master in its meaning, in its essence.
75. Do not idolize those through whom I
announce myself, because
then they would be the ones who take the place
that in your
heart
the pictures on canvas or the sculptures carved in stone
used to have, and you would continue to be that
materialism
and to have fallen in love with religious
fervor which the
father has not allowed to take possession of
your soul completely.
