Teaching 170:

1. When you think of the torments I suffered on the cross, you are appalled that human perfidy has reached such excesses of cruelty. But I tell you that that pain and the cup which I drank then was not the greatest bitterness.

2. The greatest pain for me was to experience that my children, in spite of my life among them, would not recognize who I was-the one who revealed the truth to them with words full of light-and to experience that they rejected my words and denied me, and that I poured my love into their hearts while they mocked me and their lips blasphemed against me.

3. The last sigh I breathed on the cross was the divine forgiveness that escaped my heart over so much misery and so much death. But my passion did not end with that sigh. I had told you that I am life, and my Spirit continued to receive the ingratitude of all men in eternity.

4. They discussed whether I was the promised Messiah or not. They examined my works to see if they were the confirmation of what the prophecies had announced; and while some came to the conclusion that I was the promised one, others denied me-the materialists who worshiped only the material, those who interpreted the prophecies according to their worldly desires and their selfish interests, they all continued to deny me.

5. How blind were those who had heard my words of life and seen my powerful works, but did not realize that God alone was able to accomplish them.

6. Today you can say that mankind has recognized Christ as the Messiah, whom the Father promised already in the first times of mankind. Yet men do not cease to deny me, to reject me, and to offer me for my love the bile and vinegar of their ingratitude.

7. Today they no longer doubt Jesus, but many question my divinity and even deny it. Some ascribe great spiritual elevation to me; others claim that I too pass through the path of development of the soul in order to be able to reach the Father. But if it were so, I would not have told you: "I am the way, the truth, and the life.

8. I know your considerations, your philosophies. I know that for you only one soul incarnates, which needs this test to attain its elevation and perfection, and this forbids you to believe that the divine "Word" became man. I know that you do not comprehend that the divine entity could feel pain, and men who recognize that this happened to Christ therefore deny that he could be the promised deity.

9. Ah my beloved children, if only you could understand that the incarnation of the "Word" on earth is the greatest expression of divine love! It was a desire to be humble towards you, and a teaching out of my desire to limit myself, to make myself small so that you might make me belong to you more and feel yourselves closer to the Father.

10. But that great pain - how little do you know about it! You think only of physical pain, of the flesh that suffers, of the fear of the soul, but you do not comprehend that so long as there is no harmony between human creatures and their Heavenly Father, the pain will continue among you. But what pain could you suffer that does not radiate back to your Father?

11. Do not think that I defend myself against your judgments, or that I ask you not to deprive me of that divine nature of being which you deny me. I have come at this time to tell man to judge me with his Spirit.

12. Cease to want to read and grasp with your little human reason in the great book of life, which has been written down by the divine Spirit for your spirit, for it is your spirit that attains immortality, and not the "flesh.

13. Remember that I am giving you these teachings through uneducated and simple creatures so that you may believe them. For if I had given them to you through trained and educated men, you would take these revelations as another theory among the many who have appeared on earth in these times.

14. Those who have been seized by my word in these times have set to work as diligent laborers, tirelessly toiling, inspired by my teachings. Their lips do not say to me, "Master, here we are with You," because they know that they are with me everywhere when they fulfill my law, and tomorrow they will be the spiritual guides and ambassadors for mankind.

15. In the world people are already waiting for the coming of the apostles of peace and light - for you who have been with the Divine Master, who will bring the Good News to hearts.

16. You are still in the process of testing and preparing yourselves for the practice of my teaching. You are satiated with my love and are completely imbued with my work.

17. These are already the last years of my rallies. After 1950, when I have withdrawn my word, you will remember the same, and your heart will be filled with sorrow if you did not know how to use it. But verily, I tell you, I will not separate from you, only the form in which I rallies will change, and I can even tell you that I will be closer to you because the time of true spiritualization will come.

18. You will continue to be in spiritual union with me. Know how simple my teaching is, how easily understandable my law, the same that Jesus, the Galilean, taught you.

19. I will not yet judge you, but once more I will show you the way that leads to me.

20. Now you are still disciples; tomorrow you will be masters, teaching with words and works what I have revealed to you. You men and women will be teachers of high morals. Remember that you have to face the religious communities among whom you are to accomplish a great spiritual work, because in many people faith has been extinguished and hope has disappeared, and this because men do not know themselves, nor have mercy on themselves. But to preach my truth and speak of my love you have to purify yourselves.

21. In the Second Time I told my disciples, "If any of the members of your body were the cause of your sin, cut it off", that is, even if it costs pain and sacrifice, you should be pure. To you I say: Cleanse your heart, do not allow passions to take root in it. Cleanse the vessel inside and outside.

22. Let your heart beat in the rhythm of my love, then your fellow men will have to recognize you by the purity of your soul and by the purity of your sensations. Find a calm balance, forgive, and you will be forgiven. Live in peace with yourselves.

23. Know how many of your fellow men, in the midst of their idolatrous goings-on, await the coming of the Messiah. Consider how many in their ignorance think that I will come only to execute my judgment upon the wicked, to save the good and destroy the world, not knowing that I am among men as Father, Master, brother, or friend, full of love and humility, stretching out my helping hand to save, bless, and forgive all.

24. You therefore unfold your (Spirit's) gifts under my instruction, to give proofs of my new revelation - be it to remove the pain of the sufferer, be it to show the erring man the way of light, or to awaken the "dead" to new life with the cry, "Arise and walk!

25. You will eliminate the idea of death and teach the way of true life.

26. When ye speak of my work, do it with persuasion. In the moment of your inspiration, express what the heart feels. Prepare yourselves, for I will speak to mankind through your lips. Live vigilantly, without departing from my teaching, so that you may never see yourselves caught up in the entanglements of men.

27. Still the group is small that comes together to hear my word. But I consider them to be representatives of all mankind and give them my teaching, as I have been doing since I announced my will through my daughter Damiana Oviedo by means of her mind. What I have handed over to you in this way were teachings of Wisdom, which you are to keep like a precious jewel in your hearts, for their essence consists of love.

28. I bless you because you receive me untiringly. I want that just as I have taught and guided you, so you guide and instruct your fellow men. I have granted you the gift to heal pain with my healing balm, which is mercy.

29. You are witnesses of the way in which I have manifested myself. Tomorrow, when this word no longer comes from human lips and this grace no longer exists, you will remember with love this time and these rallies. Then you will bear witness to what you have heard and seen.

30. After 1950, people will ask you in what way the word of the Lord was made known, and you shall tell them that it was done in a simple rallies, in simple language, understandable to all.

31. You will be listened to with interest, and the books which deliver my teachings will be read eagerly.

32. In different forms I have trained you through the ages, but it has always been the same teaching I have taught you. Above all, it has ignited the faith so that you may become worthy before me and finally obtain in eternal life the reward for your merits.

33. What could you bring to me in your heart that I could not see?

34. I hear all things, and I know all things. Watch and pray, for the wolf lies in wait for you. Do not condemn those who have fallen into temptation on their path of life; rather, lovingly invite them anew to take a new start, in order to advance on the path of development.

35. In the second time, a woman who let temptation fall into sin was judged in the open street by a crowd of people just as Jesus passed by. Those people accused the woman of adultery and sought to kill her. Then they turned to the Master and said to him to put him to the test: "Lord, this woman has been caught in adultery, and the law of Moses says that she should be stoned to death by the people. What do you say to this?" Then Jesus looked on them with compassion and answered them, "He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.

36. The light of that word enlightened the souls, and since all felt themselves too imperfect and unworthy to judge a fellow man, they withdrew in shame, leaving the small square empty.

37. Then Jesus asked the woman who was lying on the earth, "Woman, where are those who accuse you? They have gone. Arise, go away and sin no more.

38. Verily I say to you, I alone am entitled to judge all things.

39. I invite you to study my word, and if you want my peace, keep my commandments, that they may always serve you as guides.

40. People, write the active charity on your banner. Whoever wants to work in my fields, make mercy the basic principle of his work, then he will have a great mission to fulfill.

41. The fields in which pain has spread are very vast, and the seed of love and mercy is very scarce in the hearts of those who are to set out to sow.

42. My Spirit of consolation pours out upon all those who will carry out this great work of love in the world. But this consolation has also been given to the spiritual world, to those beings who have been destined to radiate their light into the ways of the earth.

43. When I speak to you about my spiritual world, I mean those hosts of obedient spirit beings who, as true servants, do only what the will of their Lord commands them. These I have sent to you so that they may be counsellors, protectors, doctors and real brothers and sisters for all men. They do not lament, for they have peace in themselves. They do not ask questions, because the light of their development and their experience on the long ways has given them the right to enlighten the minds of men. They are ready and humble at every call for help and in every trouble.

44. It is I who have commanded them to make themselves known among you, that they may give you their instructions, their witness and their encouragement. They go before you, purifying the way and giving you their support, so that you do not lose heart.

45. Tomorrow also you will belong to this Army of Light, which works in the infinite world of spirit beings only out of love for its human brothers and sisters, in the knowledge that it thereby glorifies and loves its Father.

46. If you want to become like them, consecrate your existence to good. Share your peace and your bread, receive the needy with love, visit the sick and the prisoner. Bring light on the path of your fellow men, who grope around in search of the true path. Fill infinity with noble thoughts, pray for those who are absent, then prayer will bring them near to you.

47. Then, when death stops the beat of your heart and the light in your eyes goes out, you will awaken to a world marvelous by its harmony, its order and its justice. There you will begin to understand that the love of God can compensate you for all your works, trials and sufferings.

48. When a soul arrives at that Home, it feels more and more imbued with an infinite peace. Immediately it remembers those who still live far from that bliss, and in its urge, in its longing that those it loves may also attain that divine gift, it joins the spiritual hosts who fight and work for the salvation, welfare, and peace of its earthly brothers and sisters.

49. In order to prepare your heart and give strength to your Spirit, my voice encourages you on this path of trials, which, as you have already noted, give steadfastness to your Spirit. He who has strength can share it with him who feels weak.

50. Soon you will see the arrival of many people from other countries, who will come to this nation where the Master makes himself known.

51. The light of my wisdom will shake men out of their lethargy, and you will see them develop spiritually and intellectually. This step will be for the good of mankind.

52. The nations will turn their eyes to this part of the earth and get to know my work and my word, which will be kept printed. For at that time the minds of those whom you have called voice bearers will be closed with regard to these rallies.

53. The places of assembly which have received the great crowds of people will remain open after my departure, so that the disciples may continue to gather there to study my word. They will watch like watchmen and await the arrival of the "last" whom I announce today. When you are at your post, they will recognize the greatness of what I have revealed to you. If you are unfaithful to this command, misery and disaster will come to those who try to approach you in the desire for peace and light.

54. I will also teach you to fulfill your duties to those who rule in the world. If you want their decisions to be beneficial and just for their peoples, you must support them through prayer.

55. If, instead of working in this way, you abandon them and occupy yourselves only with criticizing their decisions, you allow them to lose courage in battle and to be exposed to harmful influences. Be like guardians of peace.

56. Verily, I tell you, from the earliest days of mankind, man possessed the intuitive knowledge to carry within himself a spiritual being - a being who, though invisible, revealed himself in the various works of his life.

57. Your Lord has from time to time revealed to you the existence of the Spirit, its essential nature and its hidden being. For although you carry it within you, the veil in which your materialization wraps you is so thick that you are unable to recognize what is the noblest and purest in your being.

58. Man has dared to deny many truths. Nevertheless - belief in the existence of his Spirit was not one of the things he fought against most, because man felt and finally understood that denying his Spirit would be the same as denying himself.

59. When the human body degenerated because of its passions, vices and materialism, it became a chain, a dark blindfold, a prison and an obstacle to the unfolding of the Spirit Nevertheless, in his hours of trial, man has never lacked a spark of inner light to come to his aid.

60. Verily, I tell you, the highest and purest expression of the Spirit is conscience, that inner light which makes man the first, the highest, the greatest and noblest of all creatures that surround him.

61. "Master" - you ask me in silence - "why do we know so little of the Spirit? Why do we know so little about ourselves?"

62. The master answers you: Because you have turned more to that which the world gives you, and you have not devoted yourselves to the study of the imperishable, which is your Spirit. Even the Spirit, in the face of the beauties, wonders and pleasures that life has in store for him - even if only for a short time - disdains the bliss that his own development can offer him. Nevertheless - I must tell you truthfully - you are therefore not to believe that the earthly-material is more powerful than the Spirit, and that this is the reason why he sank until he materialized. No, the Spirit is incomparably stronger and always will be. But if he has fallen, it was of his own free will, seduced by the temptations of a world that offers him - even if only temporarily - a life rich in pleasures and temptations through the senses of the flesh.

63. It is only natural that his materialization prevents him from recognizing himself and does not allow him to reveal his abilities through his human part of being. For the material nature seems to be most contrary to the spiritual nature. Nevertheless, if both find harmony within you, you will experience that your physical nature is like a pure mirror, reflecting the spiritual and even the divine in all its beauty.

64. Seek my presence in the works I have done, and you will be able to find me at every turn Try to hear me, and you will hear me in the powerful voice that emanates from all created things. For it is easy for me to reveal myself through the appearances of creation. I reveal myself both in a star, in the raging of a storm, and in the mild light of a dawn. I let my voice be heard in the melodic trill of a bird, as I express it through the scent of flowers. And every expression of mine, every sentence, every work speaks to you all of love, of fulfillment against the laws of justice, of wisdom, of eternity in the Spirit.

65. Why did you not manage to show yourselves in all spiritual fullness, in the great beauty of your Spirit, although you had power over the material? - Because you let yourselves be carried away by the passions of the world.

66. Do not, therefore, neglect the study and practice of my teaching, believing that you may thereby attain greater spiritualization. You must learn to earn it through wisdom, and then you will have reached the beginning of universal harmony, in which you will allow your Spirit to manifest.

67. Interpret the law and obey it By this you will prepare yourselves to live in the higher spiritual worlds. As long as there are material worlds, the spiritual world must continue to radiate and pour out its light upon them.

68. Consider this: If you were now unable to control an unstable bodily shell, what task could I entrust to your Spirit when it once lives in a world of higher spiritualization?

69. I alone can give you these teachings, O children of men. what man could tell you what I still have ready for you in my secret chamber? Think and pray, O disciples, that my teaching may lead you to the reconciliation of the Spirit with his earthly garment.

My peace be with you!
