Teaching 217:

1. Come to me, beloved disciples, rest in my house and sit at my table ─ now that I am with you. For these times will not come again. A new time will come for you, in which you will take a step forward on your path of development.

2. You are still children who live under the care of the father, who does not allow you to go far away from the father's house so that you do not stumble, nor fall into an abyss. But soon you will be strong and sufficiently prepared to cover all distances.

3. Make a treasure chest out of your hearts, in which you guard my words like jewels.

4. I have returned to you although I know the unbelief of men. I remind you of my passion and revive it. Today I remind you of the moment when the Master who speaks to you ascended to the divine throne to be with the Father forever. It was after Jesus had completed His mission on earth, when He came as a gentle Lamb into the presence of the Eternal.

5. God revealed Himself to men from the earliest times, and His teachings were heard. The voice of the Lord made himself human and intelligible to primitive creatures. The conscience within them, which is divine wisdom, taught them to recognize good and evil. When they did good deeds, they felt peace, and when they did evil, they experienced pain. These were the first lessons, the first expressions of conscience.

6. In the course of time, when men no longer listened to this voice, I sent men full of virtue and wisdom, who with their words and example led them to follow the good way.

7. Remember that in the earliest times I sent a righteous man, Abel, whose burnt offering of love for my divinity was the forerunner of prayer and perfect worship.

8. I sent you Noah, the pious, who did not pay attention to mockery and was only careful to obey a divine command to build the ark of salvation for the trusting people.

9. Among you were Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who formed the trunk of a tree from which sprang branches, leaves, and fruit. The example of those patriarchs remained in writing ─ with the unshakable faith of Abraham, the obedience of Isaac, and the faithfulness and spiritual strength of Jacob. One fruit of this tree was Moses, the representative of my law, the embodiment of my righteousness. In him you could see an image of my majesty.

10. In the course of time I entered more and more into the emotional life of men, and therefore I had to become a man also, to come even closer to your heart. But to come into the world, it was necessary to announce me through the prophets.

11. I lived among men and made my life an example, a textbook. I came to know all the sufferings, the temptations and the struggles, the poverty, the work and the persecutions. I experienced the rejection by the relatives, the ingratitude and betrayal; the long daily tasks, the hunger and thirst, the mockery, the loneliness and death. I allowed the whole burden of human sin to fall upon me. I allowed man to search my Spirit in my word and in my pierced body, where even the last of my ribs could be seen. Though God, I was made a mockery king, an uncovered one, and had to carry the cross of shame and climb up the hill where the robbers died. There my human life ended as a proof that I am not only the God of the Word, but the God of deeds.

12. In 1866, my mercy opened the door to a new age: that of the HolySpirit. Does all mankind know the time in which it lives? Only the spiritualist people whom I am currently gathering "under the shadow of these trees" know this. My work will be recognized in the world only after great battles and events, after "wars" of doctrines and world views, so that people will rise up and confirm that a new age has dawned.

13. It is already some time ago that from this earth there departed one through whom I manifested myself for the first time in this time: Roque Rojas, the emissary, whose steps were guided by the Spirit of Elijah, the pioneer. In this way I unsealed the Sixth Seal, thus opening an infinite gap for spiritualism.

14. And from Roque Rojas until this day you have fought, O Trinitarian Marian spiritualists, and in this fight you have used your strength, your youth, your life and all you possessed to follow Me and honor this work. In silence and humility you have endeavored to make known to men the return of the Lord.

15. My "Word" has not become man again. In this time I am "on the cloud," the symbol of the hereafter, from which my ray goes forth, which illuminates the mind of the voice bearer.

16. It has pleased me to communicate myself through man, and my decision is perfect. I know man, for I have created him. I consider him worthy, for he is my child, for he came forth from me. I can make use of him, because for this I created him, and I can reveal my glory through his mediation, because I created him to glorify myself in him.

17. Man! He is my image, because he is intelligence, life, consciousness, will, because he possesses something of all my qualities, and his Spirit belongs to eternity.

18. Often you are more insignificant than you have believed, and another time you are greater than you can imagine.

19. The proud man believes to be great without being so. And poor is he who makes do with the unnecessary riches of this life without discovering the true values of the Heart and Spirit. How miserable are his desires, his desires, his ideals! With how little is he satisfied!

20. But he who knows how to live is he who has learned to give to God what is God's, and to the world what is the world's. He who knows how to refresh himself in the bosom of nature, without becoming a slave to matter, knows how to live. And even if he apparently possesses nothing, he is master of the goods of this life and is on the way to possess the treasures of the Kingdom of God.

21. What I am telling you in this time, I did not teach you in the past times This is my New Testament. I am the importunate pilgrim who constantly knocks at your door and does not let you sleep. I am the shadow that follows you everywhere. What more do you want? My love is infinite.

22. The hour of my parting is already drawing near. My visit in this time has been long: from 1866 to 1950.

23. Verily I say unto you, if any man shall say that my word hath brought you no good, neither hath it done you any evil. But remember that I do not want you to be like the parasitic plants; that I do not want you to be content to do no evil, but that it gives you satisfaction to do good. For the one who does not do it, though he could do it, has done more evil than the one who, because he is not capable of doing any good, does only evil, because it is the only thing he is capable of doing according to his spiritual degree of development.

24. I called you on this way, because I saw you sad in your soul. You sought my light in various forms of worship, yearning for miracles to testify to your faith in me. But when I crossed your path to ask you whether you were satisfied, you answered, "I have tasted of it, but it has not strengthened my heart nor my soul.

25. Meanwhile, the tree of life awaited the wayfarer to give him its fruit, and the spring of crystal-clear water overflowed the thirsty pilgrim as a promise of peace. I am the divine gardener who waited in sorrow and watched the seasons pass in the fields.

26. Now the great multitudes of those thirsty for love, peace, truth, and work have arrived. You have tasted of the fruits, and after you have satisfied the hunger and thirst, you have seized the tools of the trade to become gardeners as well.

27. There are no more perishable riches among you. Where have your goods gone? You no longer think of them, nor do you complain that you have lost them, because today you have recovered the spiritual treasure of my truth, which is in my word ─ in this word I am giving you through a humble child. For if I spoke to you through a scholar or a philosopher, you would not believe me.

28. People of all classes come to Me. But these class differences are meaningless before the Master. Not all who have come to hear Me have stayed with Me. "Many are called, but few are chosen." Many will still come, but not all will follow Me. But truly, I say to you: I have sown My word in all, and the seed of Christ never dies. My seed is not in vain, and the heart of man, unfruitful for a short time, will become fruitful and bear fruit.

29. You women, who wet the way of this world with your tears and mark with blood your way through this life: Rest with Me so that you may gain new strength and continue to be the stronghold of love, the fire of the hearth, the firm foundation of the house which I have entrusted to you on earth, so that you may also continue to be the lark whose wings cover the husband and the children. I bless you.

30. I raise up the man and the woman's place at the right hand of the man. I sanctify marriage and bless the family.

31. In this time I come with the sword of love to set all things right, since they have been moved before by man.

32. Disciples of my divinity: I am here among you, showing you another page of the book of my teachings.

33. It is the bread without leaven, which ye eat at this moment. And the water which you drink is of him who never makes him who takes it thirsty again.

34. You are like foreigners on this earth, because your true fatherland is another. I show you a way ─ it is the one that leads to the "Promised Land". My word brings you on the path of progress. I am the tireless Master who prepares you so that after my parting you may attain perfect dialogue with my divinity.

35. Today the chisel of my word of love shapes and smoothes your hearts.

36. As in the first time, ye are now crossing the desert of visitations. But you will not perish from hunger and thirst on the journey. Out of your own heart, hardened like a rock, I will let spring forth the crystal clear water of repentance and love, which quenches the thirst of the soul. And when the hunger for justice and truth takes hold of the people, My word will descend on you like the manna of the desert to feed on it.

37. The moment will come when you all will return to Me. But stay now among the people so that you may teach them to walk in the way of truth. You will scatter yourselves in different ways without ─ trusting Me ─ to take a second travel bag with you. But you will work in silence, humbly, without boasting, and I will stand by you in the fight and strengthen you in your prayer, whether you call on me in the corner of your night camp or in the shade of a tree. The day will come when you will find recognition with me.

38. You must understand that my parting is near so that you may open your hearts and lift up your souls to see Me.

39. Through many vocalists I have made myself known so that you may not doubt Me I have chosen them without regard to their social class, their living conditions or their race. Through all their mouths I have given you your inheritance so that you may not feel orphaned or abandoned in the absence of my word.

40. If you really prepare yourselves, you will be the tree, the spring and the table for the banquet that will receive all the "prodigal sons" who have gone away from the Father's house. Then the nations will not bow down before you, but they will acknowledge you and kneel before Me.

41. At all times my law has seemed too rigid for you to fulfill it, and therefore you have created sects and rites that were comprehensible to you, to your spiritual comprehension.

42. If ye had kept my commandments of the first time, ye would have known Jesus, and not sacrificed him. If mankind had lived according to my teachings of the Second Age, they would not doubt my message through man's mind.

43. It is not you who are to judge the nations. But I will judge the nations and the religious communities in you, as it is written. This people shall be an example of fervor, purity and spiritualization.

44. The lamentation of mankind rose up to Me. It is the weeping of children, it is the youth that cries for justice, it is the age that asks for peace.

45. The reason for this is that people have lost the seed of love, which they carry, without knowing it, in the purest of their heart ─ so deep inside that they themselves are not able to discover it.

46. The seed of love has been suffocated by hatred, vanity, and base passions And so the cup of suffering fills up once more, to be drunk to the yeasts.

47. While the world is shipwrecked in the midst of the storm, you watch the disaster from the lifeboat, calmly.

48. You sleep in the bosom of the Father, not thinking of those who weep. But in the midst of the strokes of fate they celebrate services that are consecrated to me, that I accept, although they are shrouded in fanaticism and idolatry, because I am Father. But I make them understand that my heart expects perfect worship.

49. From altar to altar, from rite to rite, and from sect to sect, men go from one altar to another in their desire for the bread of life without finding it. And out of disappointment they become blasphemers, taking paths without goal and living without God and without law. But consider, people, that among them are the great spirits, that among them I discover the prophets and disciples of the HolySpirit!

50. The spirits of light, who work in the spiritual, now prepare paths through plains, seas, mountains, and deserts, so that those races, those peoples, may set out in caravans and great multitudes to this nation, where my word has sounded and my miracles have been seen.

51. When then those people knock at your doors ─ what will you offer them? Offer them no imperfections then, for they are weary of them. They come in the desire for truth, mercy and love. They will come to learn how to celebrate a service as pure as the scent of flowers.

52. Today I tell you that you shall teach the latter the fulfillment of my law. In it are the teachings of the Three Times.

53. Let yourselves be inspired to pray. In the prayer from the Garden of Gethsemane I have shown you what perfect prayer should be.

54. Until you are prepared, the ways will be blocked by Me and I will not give out the call to the great multitudes

55. I will not part from you during your disunity, disobedience and incomprehension.

56. I see that you are already preparing my cross for the time of my parting ─ a cross of ingratitude.

57. There is still time to double your efforts so that this hour does not come as a surprise to you and you say, "The Father has gone away," because you no longer hear me through the voice bearer. But I will be present, and the seers will bear witness to this. You will hear my voice through inspiration, and when you teach in the homes and in the provinces, it will not be your lips that speak, but I.

58. Spirit to Spirit dialogue will reach its climax in those times, and my presence will be felt with ever greater clarity as time passes and from generation to generation.

59. In view of these revelations no one will be able to lament the absence of my word, and he who should nevertheless shed tears will do so because his conscience accuses him of not having made use of the time of my being here among you, and he therefore feels too weak and awkward to continue on the way.

60. I want you to remain as witnesses that you have been with me ─ that you show men "the books of gold" which I have granted you to compile.

61. Among this people there shall be neither priests nor clergymen. There will be only servants. These places of gathering will be places of gathering and study, where the leaders of the congregation will be mindful of the people's mission.

62. The reign of many teachings will be very short. For every one of them, which does not contain a seed of truth, of justice and of love, will be destroyed.

63. But my work of love will be recognized. The foreigner will come and knock at your door. Let him in, prepare a camp for him so that he may rest. But if he wants something to eat first, give it to him. When he has satisfied himself and is asleep, guard his sleep. When he then awakes and sees the daylight, the deeds committed will pass before his Spirit, and he will wash away even the last stain of shame with his tears. I will then give him a white robe and will set him among those who have been with me.

64. I am in the third time, and give my teaching to mankind. For you have not trusted those messengers whom I have sent you.

65. While human creatures discuss my deity, my existence and my teaching, there are worlds where I am loved in perfection.

66. At the same time as some have attained the greatest spiritual purity, your planet is experiencing a time of great moral and spiritual depravity

67. But you who hear Me should know that I have sent you among men to set an example of humility and obedience to My law I sent out your soul, clothed with my grace, shrouded in my light and in its conscience carrying the law.

68. When for a short time you have fallen into perdition, entered into darkness, and succumbed to weakness, I raise you up with my voice, proving to mankind that I can choose my disciples myself out of the filth.

69. I am the divine goodness that reveals itself at every turn. If you do not want to come higher by seeking me spiritually, and prefer to dwell to contemplate nature, then you will also find me in it: The royal star, whose rays of light give life and warmth, speaks of me. The air that gives you life is my own breath.

70. But when you lift yourselves spiritually to Me in your works or in prayer, you perceive the grace that exists in the hereafter and a way to the light that promises miracles and revelations in the heavenly treasury of the Father

71. You have knowledge of these beauties which life in the hereafter holds in store for you, and therefore you work with zeal in the vineyard of the Lord

72. I want there to be love among the workers, that there may be mercy.

73. The wood that I have laid on your shoulders is not heavy, it is not impossible that you can fulfill the task entrusted to your soul. If you trust in my power, you will see how the impossible is made possible for your steps, and you will find that whoever lives in obedience to my teachings is close to me.

74. I will send every "worker", who is sufficiently prepared, to the countries of the earth to bring the Good News.

75. Your soul is fighting a great battle with the body today. It has drawn its sword to resist the temptation that will defeat it in my name.

My peace be with you.
