Teaching 212:

1. Blessed is he who turns to me, who seeks the master, who seeks forgiveness, who takes up the cross, because with me he will find the light that leads him and the forgiveness of his sins.

2. The Master welcomes you with love on this day of remembrance. The trace of His Passion which He left in mankind is renewed on this day.

3. Even though the blood of that body evaporated, its essence remained in the soul of all people. It is inextinguishable in your Spirit because you remember Me when you feel for moments the weight of the cross or the arduous climb of Calvary.

4. Since Jesus marked out the way with the blood of love, every man who strives for redemption or the perfection of the soul seeks the traces I left on earth to follow them. This way is the one which I am showing you in this time, and on which you will reach the spiritual life where there is neither darkness nor pain.

5. The Christian world made the cross its symbol because Jesus shed his blood on that wood and died as a man to accomplish on it his work of redemption. Since then, the cross has been a symbol of divine love and forgiveness. It has, however, been a symbol of world-view struggles among people.

Today, since an age has passed since that sacrificial death, I am again present in the world ─ no longer as a human being, but spiritually. But truly, I tell you, that cross is no longer necessary for me. I will no longer carry it on my shoulders; you will no longer see the rabbi covered with blood and crowned with thorns, with his scourged body, with his blood wetting the stones of the way. You will no longer see Him with eyes pressed together in pain, which aroused pity in some and instilled terror in others. You will no longer see Him arriving at the top of the mountain to be nailed to His cross between evildoers.

6. The cross, which was disgrace and shame for him who died on it, was transformed into the symbol of the sacrifice of love. This could not even have been imagined by those who persecuted me and chose for me the most ignominious death to satisfy their cruelty. For the rabble demanded to accuse and condemn him who had done nothing against him, who was goodness, comfort, and forgiveness for all men. Man was in an abyss, from which he did not understand the good, the love, which I showed him with my sacrificial death.

7. In this time I did not come as man, and the cross will not rest on me. Today it is I who erect a cross of love on your hearts, so that you may follow my steps.

8. You have already felt the heavy burden of this cross, have already felt your flesh scourged when the pain has penetrated to the soul You have also already felt what it means to fall on the way. The sufferings of your life have been scourges, and the mockeries, when they thought you were crazy like Jesus himself because of your way of seeking me, have been like the lance that tore open the Savior's side.

9. Behold, your life is like a Golgotha, disciples. Everyone who wants to take Me as an example, follow Me and come to Me will have to live with suffering and drink the cup of bile and vinegar.

10. You have rightly called this earth a valley of tears. You have come to it to know good and evil, for no one is born perfect in knowledge and merit. Therefore I have granted you freedom of will to choose the way yourselves, so that your soul may reach higher levels itself through its efforts.

11. But for the one who chooses the evil way, it is necessary to know the pain on it, so that, when he feels that he is moving away from grace and from the light, he may purify himself and strengthen himself in repentance and thus learn to overcome temptations.

12. How meritorious is to God the effort of one who fights against temptations, which become more pressing the more he strives for his renewal.

13. My sacrificial death was not useless, people. For both those who love me and those who deny me will have to follow my traces. That work will be predominant in the Book of Times and will bear fruit forever.

14. You cannot know why the burden of your cross, that is, the responsibilities and sufferings, is lighter on some than on others. All of you on this earth do not know your past; no one knows the time when his soul received the light. Therefore take up the cross with surrender. For whoever follows me in this way will himself survive death.

15. My voice on this day speaks of law and of justice, it is the same voice that you heard at Sinai. Today, as on that day, I see the unbelief of many. I gave you then the law carved in stone once and a second time, because Moses broke the first one, beside himself in the face of your idolatry and your weakness. But today, as I write it in your conscience: What will you do with him? Will you act in such a way that Elijah, the messenger of this time, demands of you the observance of my law?

16. From the depths of your heart you say to Me: "Lord, it is a long time since our ingratitude caused the tablets of Your law to be broken by the wrath of Moses. In this day and age, how should we be able to disobey Your Law again?" But the Father tells you: You must stay awake. For in the second time Jesus came to bring you the law of love, and you made Him shed His blood to the last drop and did not recognize Him.

17. I ask you, people, and you, mankind, where is the law I gave you at Sinai? Where is the bread of eternal life that Jesus gave you afterward? ─ With lowered head you hear my questions, because you recognize that you are going off the path.

18. In the first time you were a people formed of twelve tribes. But Israel, supplanting every fear of my righteousness, divided itself into different peoples. Today you are again on earth. But how could you divide yourselves into nations or into tribes when a single family is formed by children of different tribes, and even married couples are made up of members of the twelve tribes? Who has understood this plan? It is I who have chosen and united you. This is the reason why some tremble at hearing this voice without knowing why. Because it is those who have also heard me in the past times.

19. Now is the third time, which is approaching its climax. In it you now receive the manna of the desert, the blood of Jesus and the light of the HolySpirit. When your purification is needed, you have Mary, your Universal Mother, who washes you with her tears of love and covers you with her mantle of mercy.

20. Again the Father says to his people: Unite. For I see that ─ while some make the resolution to obey my commandments, others oppose them. Do not divide yourselves, for you will open the door to temptation. My word is for all, even if there are among the listeners those who do not bow their neck to my voice because they are dominated by the doubt that the circumstance gives them, that they experience how I make myself known through an uneducated, clumsy and simple mind.

21. How many of those who persecuted and mocked Me in the past times live today full of peace of mind, which I have given them as a proof of My love, which forgives all But when they heard that I had come again, their soul felt overwhelmed by fear, and so they came timidly to ascertain whether the matter of my rallies was true. When they then heard me, they were shaken because they felt called by my voice.

22. This is the people whom I chose to bring light and peace to the nations, and who were scattered and hidden among mankind But my clairvoyant and penetrating eye knew where each of my servants was, to call them and indicate to them their mission, which I am still waiting to fulfill.

23. The world looked indifferently at Mary's path of life on earth. But truly, I tell you, today you will recognize her motherly voice, her loving voice, which is lullaby, comfort, hope and balm. Some will acknowledge it, others will deny it. Yet she tenderly and lovingly spreads her divine mantle over the universe, and under it she gives warmth and protection to all her creatures. She too saves and redeems, she is the heavenly shrine, which contains its secrets yet to be revealed. Since her body, as that of a woman, was the shrine in which the body of Jesus lay safe and secure ─ how much does her Spirit then hold for all her children!

24. How deep was the pain that the world bore in her mother's heart, and with what tenderness she hides her tears to show you only the sweetness of her smile and the loving nature of her caresses! Always, between my inexorable justice and the sins of men, there is the intercession and motherly love of Mary, your Heavenly Mother.

25. From the "cloud" I speak to you and invite you to come to Me.

26. Still I see you studying the first page of the book, but the time of my teaching is short

27. I want that when you come to Me, you may say to Me "Lord, here is the fruit of my harvest: the renewal of some of my fellow men by my example. For if you do not fulfill your mission, you will not be able to enter my kingdom.

28. In three times I have offered you spiritual salvation, but you have remained deaf to my voice.

This is the last call I am addressing to you. Therefore I ask you to listen to Me, to clothe yourselves with humility, to descend from your high pedestal and banish all hatred from your heart.

29. My Word is not flowery, I simply say it so that you all understand it and do not give it different interpretations

30. There must be no ignorant among my people, for I have flooded you with wisdom.

31. On all trees I see good fruit and others, bad. But of these latter you shall not offer me any of them.

You are destined to choose the tasty fears that you have to show me. You are already aware of all your duties. You used to stumble through the world because a dark veil covered your eyes. But I came like a lightning bolt in the night to illuminate your paths. Since then you know where you are going.

32. You have learned to question your conscience before you take a step.

33. Today, when you are united, be obedient to my teachings For the great trials are drawing near.

34. The Master is with you once more. On this day I have come to indulge you, to lift you up with my words of love, to give you my kiss of peace and to ask you what you offer Me in your heart.

35. I have not come to judge you but to urge you to have true love and mercy in your actions, to listen to the voice of your conscience

36. At all times I have shed my blood for you ─ sometimes before the earthly eyes of men, other times invisibly. Always I watch over you, so that you do not suffer in this world, and so that you attain eternal life for your soul after your earthly life in the hereafter. But you have not understood me, have not obeyed my word, and therefore I have come in this time out of the white "cloud" to ring my soothing bell and to ask you to unite and love one another.

37. You begin to study, but you have not even understood the first page of my book, although you know that the time in which I give you my teaching word is already short You must study and fathom my teaching and set out courageously on your journey. For I will not receive you unless you have first studied what I have given you in this time.

38. You have made me weep and shed my blood, and now I want you to come to me and say at my feet, "Master, here is the teaching, here is the harvest, here is the good example I have given to men. There is the renewed humanity."

I want you to show Me the man and woman whom you have converted. For without this commission you will not enter the sanctuary of my hidden wisdom. Three times I have come to this world to bring you various opportunities for the salvation of your soul. But you have heedlessly blown away my words and have not obeyed my commandments. That is why I tell you that this is the last of these occasions and that you must realize what I am now recommending to you by clothed with humility, descending from the pedestal of your false greatness, eradicating evil-will and hatred of your fellow men and uniting yourselves. For this is what I demand of you, so that the scepter of my righteousness does not fall on mankind.

39. You are no longer ignorant, for I have given you my teaching abundantly, and I ask you Why do I see that my disciples did not want to understand me and interpret my words and instructions in different ways and according to their own will? Have I not spoken to you in your own language, in simple words, so that you may all understand Me? I do not speak to some in any other way than to others. Therefore I do not want you to say to Me tomorrow, "Master, we cannot understand You, we do not understand your instructions, and therefore we do not follow them. ─ No, Israel, it is necessary for you to eliminate the poison that you are still carrying in your heart at the moment. You must understand this law correctly, for it is not your fault for your sin, and it is not just that my work should be blamed for these errors. Why were men unable to appreciate it even though I hand it over to you as white and pure as a snowfield?

40. Watch and pray, for I constantly see disunity between the one and the other I see that you want to turn away from my law ─ some by turning their backs on it, and others by going their own ways, stumbling and getting into thorns rather than righteously following the way I have marked out for you. Everywhere trees are growing up, which give mankind a different fruit than the one I am giving you. But I see that also good fruits are mixed among them, and therefore I say to you: Remove the bad fruits and leave only the good ones. Choose them and offer Me only the pure seed and the golden wheat.

You are no longer the children of darkness, as you used to be. For I have appeared among you like a bright ray of lightning to illuminate your way, to let you understand what the way of truth is. Now you can recognize it and walk on it because I have given you strength and taken it by the hand so that you can take the first steps and later walk alone but safely, without painful experiences or falling into sin, and without letting yourselves be seduced by the wickedness that rules the world.

41. Today you are no longer ignorant children, today you know how to go forward, which works you will accomplish and which are the good and the bad ways. For I have given you heart and conscience to question them. Therefore, I have been asking you for a long time that you do not eat the forbidden fruit, that you do not draw your double-edged sword to cut off your brother's honor, that you become aware of the sincerity and perfection of my law, which has been one at all times, so that you may rise with understanding and good will by obeying my heavenly commandments, so that there may be peace on all the earth and no longer destruction destroys life. I will not see you weeping and with bitterness in your mouth. Also on this day I will give you my divine mercy.

42. Blessed is he that is prepared, for he shall see peace in his way, and shall feel in his soul and body my mercy upon him. From eternal glory I will let the crystal-clear waters flow down so that you may rise strengthened in this time. I give you My love in streams so that you may go forward and realize that I am tireless, so that tomorrow you may take Me as your model, by getting rid of every materialism, every vanity, and, by bringing only good works, be a bright mirror in which this humanity can look at itself.

43. I have always come in search of the erring, to free them from sin and put them on the way to salvation. Tomorrow the great trials will come, and it is my will to leave you behind as the brave soldiers of Jesus who can fight and emerge victorious.

44. In presence, authority and essence I have been among you this morning. I give you the daily bread and the healing balm. I bless you, your children, the afflicted mothers, the old. To all of them I give my peace, my love and my light.

45. Love, you men, love with the purest love that can lead you to the truth. Then you will know what I want to tell you with these words. The power that moved the lips of Jesus when He was with you was that of love ─ that voice through which I tell you: "I am the way, the truth and the life.

46. There is no greater power than that of the body. It is also fire that purifies and water of grace that purifies.

47. However much I speak to you, there are still disciples who believe today and no longer tomorrow, because they have hours of faith and hours of doubt.

48. I see in you a people tired of their human life and extremely busy, and from this arises a people who call themselves spiritualist, but who live very attached to earthly things.

49. But I have said to you, awaken to the truth, and do not act like the scribes and Pharisees, who cleanse the vessel only on the outside, or who, when they try to do good deeds, think that they must not give everything, because then they would be poor and without bread for their mouth.

50. Alas, how long will you, who think so, have to wander about as shadows! You will be born and will be born again as long as you do not learn to give the love that I teach you.

51. I do not want you to be little children forever. Is it right, then, that this people should say to me in their prayers, "Lord, I love you," and afterwards do not do a work of mercy in their way? Why do I still catch you cheating? Why do you not exercise true mercy, and if you do so, it is only so that you may be seen and heard?

52. You deceive yourselves, and sometimes you boast of your faith, though your faith has grown cold. Then I see that you are also cold in charity, in faithfulness and in sincerity.

53. Verily I say to you, no one will pass through the door of the cross unless he learns to be faithful.

54. Beloved disciples, I say to you When I speak to you sometimes with harsh words, these are not as just as you deserve according to your deeds.

55. I will only cleanse you from imperfections with my words. Where are the "white garments" which you should have prepared for yourselves to be with me at this banquet?

56. I will enter into your inner being to see my sanctuary. O you human souls, who believe that you were born only recently, and yet you came forth long ago from him who carries in himself the love of the Father and the love of the Mother! For from him all kinds of perfect love spring forth.

57. Just as you see man's body develop, so the Spirit also develops in him. But the body encounters a limit in its development, while the Spirit needs many matters and eternity to reach its perfection.

58. This is the reason for your reincarnation. You have been born like a seed from the fatherly and motherly creative spirit of God, pure, simple and pure. But make no mistake; for it is not the same to be pure and simple as to be great and perfect.

59. You may compare it to a child that has just been born, and to an experienced man teaching children.

60. This will be your destiny during all stages of life, once your Spirit is developed. But how slowly your Spirit is progressing!

61. It has been almost 2000 years since I taught you in a few words the way to enter the Kingdom of God: "Love one another," I told you. You have lived many times, with or without an earth body, in this "valley" or others. But you have not understood the lesson to learn.

62. You will have to go a long way before that sublime teaching becomes a reality in your soul.

63. this world is called to spiritualize itself together with its inhabitants and thus to put an end to suffering and strokes of fate.

64. The fire of my love will melt the snow of your hearts, and though centuries pass by, I will continue teaching, and you will finally learn and love

65. Do you remember Mary Magdalene? Have you not understood what symbol she represents?

66. The mind of man does not understand my symbols, it stops before the mystery and is content with the symbol

67. The symbols are outmoded images that should no longer be present in the worship of mankind in its age of light.

68. Mary Magdalene ─ the sinner, as the world called her ─ had deserved my tenderness and my forgiveness.

69. She soon attained her salvation, which does not happen to others who only half-heartedly ask for forgiveness for their sins. While she soon found what she was looking for, others do not.

70. Magdalene was forgiven without boasting of her repentance. She had sinned as you also sin; but she had loved much. He who loves may show aberrations in his human behavior; but love is the tenderness that overflows from the heart. If you want ─ to be forgiven like you ─, turn your eyes full of love and trust in me, and you will be acquitted of every wrongdoing.

71. That woman sinned no more. The love which overflowed her heart she dedicated to the teaching of the Master.

72. She was forgiven even though she had committed mistakes. But in her heart the fire that purified was burning, and because of the forgiveness that the sinner received, she did not separate from Jesus for a moment. My disciples, however, left me alone in the bloodiest hours. But that Mary, who was not respected, did not separate from me, did not deny me, was not afraid, nor was she ashamed.

73. Therefore she was granted to shed tears at the foot of my cross and over my grave. Her Spirit soon found redemption because she loved much. She too had an apostle spirit in her heart. Her conversion shines like the light of truth. She had prostrated herself at my feet to tell me: "Lord, if you will it, I will be free of sin".

74. You, on the other hand, ─ how often do you want to convince me of your innocence by covering up your transgressions with long prayers.

75. No, disciples, learn from her, love your Lord truly in each of your brethren. Love much, and your sins will be forgiven you. You will be great if you make this truth blossom in your hearts.

My peace be with you.
