Teaching 208:

1. The echo of my word has awakened you, and you have come from far-off lands, peoples and regions, on a long journey full of incidents, in the desire to meet the Master. And you have achieved what you have laboured and sacrificed yourselves for, because you have come to me. You have taken the first step on the way that will lead you to the top of the mountain, where I have gone before you to await you.

2. You have opened your heart like an empty book so that I write this teaching in it Some have offered their mind to Me, also in them I have written my word in expectation that the heart will be receptive. For this light will penetrate as far as the spiritual soul, where it will find a home, which it will never again leave.

3. My word has never been as clear and detailed as in this Third Age, in which I have made it more humanly understandable. My word makes you understand what I have given you in the past two ages. Two commandments which I have left you already at the beginning contain all my teaching: "You shall love God with all your heart and with all your soul, and your neighbor as yourself. Later Jesus told you: "Love one another", and now I am continuing my teachings to complete my work among you and thus fulfill my promise to return.

4. I did not appear within any church during this time, for I came in desire for the temple that is in your heart. The solemnity of liturgies and the splendor of religious rites do not attract my Spirit, nor do they represent my Church.

5. In the Second Age, religious leaders and priests expected the Messiah to be born within the Church. But I was not born with them, for to me the stable of Bethlehem was purer, and with the shepherds I found more love and warmth in the cold winter. That is the reason why the theologians of that time were wrong, and the rulers persecuted me from my birth to my death.

6. Today the theologians are again confused about my return, because the prophecies and announcements of them have not been interpreted correctly.

7. From the beginning there was doubt about my coming, although I had given you proofs that testified for me. In this way I have built up faith in the heart of my people.

8. In this day and age great multitudes of disciples have arisen; but in spite of their multitude they do not attain to the faith and power which those Twelve who followed Me in the Second Age possessed. But what will you do after my departure? You all know that I will continue to speak to you during the last three years of teaching which you will receive by means of the human mind. If you would really understand Me, you would have the assurance that I am with you eternally, that I speak to you eternally. But which of you prepare yourselves inwardly to feel my divine presence and to hear my voice? By 1950, the appointed time for my parting, who will have attained the necessary spiritualization to contact the Master without a voice bearer?

9. I will not be offended if you do not offer Me altars or flowers, or if you do not light lamps for Me. For what I have sought in the heart of man at all times is the spiritual altar.

10. Flowers are the offering of the gardens and meadows, their fragrance and fragrance comes to Me as a gift of love. Do not therefore deprive the meadows and gardens of their gifts of love. Light no other lamps than those of faith in my divinity. For the lighting of oil lamps will be of no use to you if your hearts are dark.

11. You are not able to understand the perfect teaching which I have revealed to you, and still less to put it into practice. Its name Trinitarian-Marian spiritual teaching says it all: spiritual elevation, recognition of the Trinity of divine revelations, and the veneration of Mary, the divine tenderness.

12. Before the year 1948 began, I told you through countless voice-bearers: "Get ready, for I will reshape your spiritual rites. For I do not want the world to judge you as bad disciples who have made their Master participate in their superfluous customs. I have entrusted you with my perfect work, which you must not punish with your actions. Everyone who sets out to follow me is to bear his cross and pass on the truth through his whole being, as far as he is able and his abilities permit. You are not always prepared, but you should always be; for then, when you least expect it, a trial or a needy person can set in, and then you must be immediately on the spot.

13. The burden of the cross is heavy for the fathers of families. For after they have brought the new generations to the world, they have understood that this is not enough to consider their task finished. The Father's law for the first men was: "Grow and multiply". And in the present time, in which I observe a great development in the human soul, I tell you again: "Grow and multiply," but not only in material things, but in the soul, in virtues, in love. This is the law from the beginning to the end, which you are to fulfill so that you can enter my presence satisfied and tell me: "Lord, here is my spiritual and human fulfilment, here is my fruit.

14. Beloved people, the times do not allow you to stand still. The forces of nature, the pain, the war, the conflicts and the chaos tell you incessantly: "Awake and work! Let your heart be filled with this wine, which is the blood of the Master, so that it may overflow as life and as love on your fellow men.

15. Remember that my word comes from a Father who seeks you, who loves you and corrects you, who lifts you up when you stumble, and heals you when you are sick. Neither have I come on this day to give you instructions, but only to caress you. I will make clear all your deeds in the light of your conscience, but I will not expose the one before the other, so that you may hear in silence the voice of the inner judge and remember that the disciples of Jesus are to praise the name of their Master with their works.

16. I often speak of my departure, as I did with my apostles of the Second Age: Jesus was surrounded by his disciples. Almost all were older than the Master. While some were middle-aged, others were advanced in age. There was only one who was younger than Jesus, namely John. Once again the Master spoke of his impending departure, and in view of that announcement those men asked themselves, "Why does He speak of His impending departure when we are nearer the end? The reason for this was that the disciples could not comprehend that this man, who was full of life, love and power, could die in earthly terms. They could not understand that he who came from the Father could cease to live. But Jesus continued to speak of his parting and continued to say goodbye, so that those hearts became accustomed to the thought of separation and understood that they had to use the time and keep that precious seed in their hearts. Then one said to his Master, "Lord, if anyone tries to touch You, we will prevent it. To which Jesus replied, "What is written will come to pass, and the Father's will will be done. For heaven and earth will pass away rather than his word not being fulfilled."

17. The disciples listened with despair and sadness, and asked themselves in secret, "What could they do if He were no longer with them? How would they be able to fight among men alone? How could they bring light to the blind, cleanse the leper, raise the dead and convert the sinner? The Master read their thoughts, and on a suitable occasion He told them, "You will be in my place like sheep among wolves. But if you believe in Me and keep on the way, you will not perish.

18. My passion was accomplished, my word was fulfilled, and my apostles felt their courage and faith dwindle when they saw Jesus sweating blood in the olive garden, as if he was afraid of the people ─ He who had power in His hands. Faced with the shouting mob, they expected the Master to silence them, since He Himself had silenced the possessed. And when the nefarious hands seized the rabbi to arrest him, the dismayed disciples asked, "Lord, why did you let yourself be arrested like a criminal, although there is no sin in you? Nevertheless they hid themselves and abandoned their Lord. But Christ continued teaching, both as God and as man. For He wanted to be man in order to set a perfect example, and to feel human pain. In Him were all fears, all abandonment. He received in His body all wickedness and shamefulness. And then came the last hour.

19. From the height of the wooden cross his eyes searched among the crowd his friends, the disciples ─ those who had lived with Him and loved Him and followed Him on the paths. But those were not there in the hour of death, his physical eyes did not see them. Only John, the youngest, was present and stood by the Master's mother. He gave His last message to the disciple, and at that moment He consecrated Mary as the universal Mother before all mankind.

20. Everything was accomplished.

21. The disciples, united in lamentation and sorrow, sought comfort from Mary. But the Master, already a spirit being, made Himself visible. He visited Mary and the holy women, who bore witness to the apostles of what they doubted. But Jesus, who wanted to prove to them that He continued to dwell among them, also sought them out to show Himself to them.

22. The apostles stayed in a house on a certain occasion. Thomas was not among them. While those men were left to their memories, the Master came in to them through the walls and said to them, "My peace be with you. The astonishment of the disciples was indescribable when they recognized the tone of that voice which was unique to them.

23. The figure of Jesus disappeared again, and the apostles told Thomas the news full of life and joy. But he mocked his brothers. And while he was denying the testimony, Jesus appeared again in the room with the door closed with the greeting: "Peace be with you. Thomas ─ fearful at first, then full of remorse in the face of the miracle ─ looked at the figure of Jesus, but doubts tormented him. Then the Master said to him, "Come here, Thomas, put your fingers into the wound at my side. The unbelieving and materially minded disciple put them inside and could see the Promised Land through that wound. Then Thomas fell down at his master's feet, and seized with pain and remorse, he confessed: "Lord, Lord, it is You. "Yes, Thomas, you now confess that I am he, because you have seen. Blessed are those who believe without seeing."

24. People: You are experiencing all this now. I announce my farewell to you again and again. Little by little I loosen your materialism, so that later you are not unbelievers, ignorant or confused.

25. On the last day of my stay among you, I do not want to see your hair pulled out, I do not want your mouths to cry out, "Why are you going, Master?

26. At the last moment I want to see you wrapped in a mantle of spirituality, serenity and devotion, trusting that I have not really gone away, that I am closer to you.

27. I have told you that every eye, sinner and non-sinner, will see Me Some will see the figure of Jesus spiritually, others will feel my presence in their heart; some will perceive my light in their minds, and still others will experience miracles in their way. I will bear witness to Me in prayer and in trials. But it will not be necessary for you to see the human form of Jesus, but to feel Me in your soul and heart. There shall be no mourning, no emptiness or desolation, no sorrow or sobbing.

28. I want you to unite yourselves at my parting, so that you may unite all your spiritual powers. With them you can represent what the Master gave you with his word.

29. When a real union is made among you, there will be signs in heaven and on earth, and the nations will know it.

30. This is my teaching word, this has been my word of love and teaching: a never-ending caress.

31. You must prepare yourselves better and better ─ as the time approaches when I no longer speak to you through the human mind. You will seek to saturate yourselves more and more with the spiritual power that transmits my word. Materialism is at its height. Until today the world has lived without feeling or hearing me. There are only a few who live spiritualized, who see my light and advance on their way; but how many are in darkness. Some are in expectation of my return, in them lives the faith that Christ will return to become man.

32. Disciples who have heard Me: The task you have to accomplish you have clearly in mind: to proclaim to men the good news of my coming in this time and to make known to them my revelations and teachings. You are the witnesses who know that I have come to you in the same way I was last seen in the Second Time: spiritually.

33. But before you would be able to communicate with your Lord from spirit to spirit, I wanted to communicate myself through the minds of men who were simple but gifted by me, so that this communication would serve you as a basis or preparation for your future upward development.

34. Human science with its achievements is a proof that the soul has developed, and although the way is different in each case, it has left the trace of its upward development in every era. The day will come when the sciences themselves will contribute to the development of the soul, for everything is directed toward this goal. I tell you that the true scientist is the one who, out of love for his neighbor, searches the innermost secrets of creation until he finds the divine light. The one who works in this way will never imagine anything of his work; he will consider himself only as an instrument of the Creator. For this reason he will never deny the existence of God.

35. The time will also come when the monks who are locked up in cells will leave them because they are convinced of the uselessness of their escapism and mysticism. They will fight among the people to fulfill the purpose for which they were created. In a word, they will put an end to spiritual stagnation in order to follow the path of progress.

36 The seed of spirituality is the seed of the Third Age, which I sow among you. He gives mankind the secret to attain a better life.

37. See how men, for lack of spiritualization, misunderstand and divide themselves. They themselves have created different paths that separate the one from the other. You yourselves are witnesses of this lack of understanding.

38. Again I tell you that the war among men is not yet over. For the war of ideologies, of creeds and religions, of philosophies and doctrines will come, each one wanting to be the sole owner of the truth in relation to the others.

39. My sacrifice of the Second Age has not yet been understood by this humanity. Although most claim to recognize Christ, they have not recognized themselves in Me. Why seek Me on tortuous paths when I walk only on the path of meekness, mercy and justice?

40. To come to Me it is indispensable to love your fellow men.

41. today you still need clergymen, judges, and teachers. But once your spiritual and moral condition has increased, you will no longer need these supports, nor these voices. In every man will be a judge, a leader, a teacher, and an altar.

42. I will see a people without rites, decrees, and dogmas, who know how to walk the right way, and who live my love teaching.

43. I give you this freedom in this day and age, for you are no longer subject to certain cult forms. This is no new way, but a part of the same way, which I had marked out for you, but which you did not know. Study, penetrate into my words, and you will recognize that in them is the truth.

44. I am love, and as love I give myself to you without putting any condition on you. In the times you are going through, you need this stimulus, this love that is above all human affection.

45. In order to attain that elevation that makes you communicate with My Divinity, you no longer need to stimulate your senses through the harmony of some musical notes, or to get excited in the face of rites or material objects. For your soul moves only that which is profoundly spiritual. Whenever you open your heart to lift your soul to Me, you experience this feeling of peace that comes down from infinity.

46. how is it possible that there are people who do nothing for their spiritual development? How can human beings exist who sink deeper than the subordinate or irrational beings? The unreasoning being does not sin, for it confines itself only to following its own laws. Man, on the other hand, does sin because he carries within himself a Light Soul, a Spirit and a gift of intuition.

47. Among those who are called to work for this work are also those who temporarily forget the way, who forget the spiritual sign with which the Lord has marked them, so that on their way they leave behind only traces of peace and blessing. How can you descend from the step on which I have set you? This is the reason why I come down continually to speak to you, so that My Word, like a fine chisel, may smooth out the roughness of your heart, to make you understand that the union with God cannot come about unless you keep away from the impure. Only then, when you succeed in raising your thinking above all negativity, and when you seek me in the Infinite, will you experience a strange feeling of bliss. Through this you will recognize that, when you seek me in this way, the mercy of the Father will not hesitate to manifest itself in your soul.

48. Verily, in such moments you are no longer in the material world, though your body is still on earth. The spiritual soul has swung up, loosening every physical connection, to enter into another life and another space. It is there where the love of the Father is felt, where the peace and bliss of His kingdom can be sensed.

49. to awaken this longing in the recalcitrant, I turn myself into a faithful companion, until I make the good in their heart palpable to them ─ that feeling that will let them accomplish works that they will bring closer to me. Once they have taken this step, they have seen the immensity of the field that spreads before their eyes and invites them to work and fight. What happiness they feel in their hearts when they understand all that they did not see with the seeing eye and did not hear with the hearing ear, because for them everything was confused and they were not aware that they were called to fulfill a noble and delicate mission.

50. to all of you I say: if you are able to become one with the Master, you will feel the misery of others more and more like your own and will try to do to your fellow men what you saw Me do to you If you sometimes consider yourselves unworthy or clumsy, it is enough for you to feel charity and turn to me so that I do what you are not able to do. The most important thing is to make a start even if the task seems impossible at first. Later miracles will happen, and faith will be inflamed. Then gradually the hungry, the lepers, the ragged and the failed will come to your doors, misery in all its forms. But you must watch and pray, for temptation and seduction will press you and offer you the world in exchange for your spiritualization. Also will come those who try to beguile you with seemingly great words and ideas. The lusts will tempt your body and weaken your soul. You will have to face everything ─ sometimes alone, in other cases together with your brothers. Your weapons will be the preparation, the faith, the inherent purpose, the knowledge that you will gradually receive from the Master.

51. Thus you will become strong soldiers out of people who have been defeated by life. You will enter prepared into the time of battle that you are currently experiencing. Your soul will not despair, for it will feel that it needs this struggle to purify and uplift itself. Verily, I tell you, with everyone who can show me his work as accomplished, this will be accepted as his last work within matter.

52. Then, while your body becomes dust and your soul, now freed from its last human garment, has begun its spiritual work, it will see the stepladder on which, step by step, it will ascend the seven steps until it reaches the bosom of the Father, who is power, grace and light.

53. See: Although you have sunk into so much imperfection, while you have passed through the ways of the world in different bodies, learning the dirt and impurity, you were worthy of my love. But all this long journey was the experience your soul made to appreciate the value inherent in my laws and the value that the spiritual has ─ to understand that the development of the soul brings glories and perfect satisfactions. That is why I have always invited people on this path. For as long as they do not reach it, they will continue to suffer, and the false pleasures will continue to scourge them.

54. What I am teaching you is for the good of everyone who loves to receive my teaching, so that his deeds may transform him into a future master who will pass on my power and light, who must overcome the corruption of the world.

55. The wickedness of this time has opened up abysses of despair before men.

56. There are many works among men which seem to be great and good. Therefore I say to you: Watch that you may fight every deceit, knowing that an incomparable and true greatness dwells within you.

57. what greater glory is there than to share the good with others and to exercise it? What greater glory is there than the love that we can give to our neighbors, whose light and influence can help them too to take the path to perfection? What greater bliss is there for the soul than to be able to overcome the weakness of its body in order to rise higher from the level it is on?

58. Already in the Second Time I spoke to you of spiritual life, and your Spirit understood a part of what I spoke and of the purpose for which it is destined. Today, when I see you gathered around Me again, I reveal and explain to you everything that was incomprehensible to your mind. And I tell you once again that whoever wants to follow me should take up his cross and follow me. For my cross does not mean death, but love and selflessness, sacrifice of superfluous goods for the good of the soul.

59. Disciples, acquaint the children of today with my teaching. Everyone who has understood my word should form his children with high ideals and remove all evil from their hearts. Sow in them the seed of goodness, which is spiritual. Once these children have sufficient understanding to comprehend the effect of my teaching, they will not waver in their path, but their step will be sure and no one will be able to deceive them.

60. Like a sun that radiates life, light and warmth, I have poured out myself on all. But everyone will receive from it according to his development and preparation.

My peace be with you!
