Teaching 224:

1. I write each of your works in the book of the upward development of the soul. And so that you know your assignment on earth, I have awakened the spiritual gifts, which I have entrusted to you since the beginning of times.

2. You have come forth from Me, and from this moment on you have been prepared, and when I sent you to earth, which is a place of struggle and perfection, I have given you the law which teaches you love for your Father and also tells you: love one another so that you may be in harmony with all beings I have created In my eyes you are all great, worthy. I have created all with the same love, and for Me there are no differences between the one and the other.

3. I have long awaited the return of the children. If your heart is not moved when you hear my word, if you do not shed tears of repentance, it is because you have not been awake and awaited the fulfillment of my promise I gave you in the Second Time. I have now come to bring spiritual and material benefits. My word, which is the fruit of the tree of life, will satisfy your hunger. I bring peace to men of good will, which is the reward I give you on earth because of your observance of my commandments.

4. Lift up your soul, cleanse your heart and enter into spiritual dialogue with Me in an act of love for my divinity. I will pour out my benefits upon you.

5. Pray, then your prayer will convert sinners and convince him of his iniquity who has sinned out of ignorance and does not know how much he has sinned against Me. I will remove the seed of evil and let you know the benefits of renewal and the fulfillment of the commission.

6. For each of your good works I have a blessing, for your problems a solution, and for your pains a healing balm. But when you then are healthy and strong, teach your fellow men, encourage them to do good and be an example, so that it is not only the words that speak of Me, but your deeds that are to testify that you are My disciples and that you take Me as an example.

7. I speak to the Christian world and to the one who has not believed in Christ, to the people of Israel, that is, to the believers in Moses. To all I will give my light and my caress. This light will remove error and ignorance, and faith in me will unite all souls and make them equal among themselves.

8. After great struggle peace will return to men. Today you meet enemies against your faith, your spiritualization and your good actions, because the prevailing atmosphere is impure and you were not able to stop the advance of evil. But in truth, you are the agents charged with transforming this world by giving it back the health, peace and faith it has lost.

9. You will not be alone in your struggle. Before, your God fights and He does so as always. The powers of evil will be bound, man will become free and restore his life, and faith will return to his heart.

10. If you experience great triumphs in the exercise of your gifts, do not become proud of them, do not allow yourselves to be admired just because you have been the instrument whose I used to "speak" to men.

11. Remember that I have forgiven your transgressions and removed your imperfections. I have used simple, uneducated and ignorant minds, which I have trained to carry out my counsel.

12. My word will be kept in writing. This book will be a guide and teaching for the people. If you are not sufficiently prepared to understand my new objections, study my word further. I prepare the hearts of the disciples who are to compile this book. In it you will find my essence and my presence. It will be the legacy I will leave to humanity. The people inspired by Me will enact laws of love, leave wise commandments, thoughts and principles that the world will know. For my word will meet receptive hearts, which are ready to receive it in all peoples of the earth.

13. Those nations who have gone through the hardships of war await the messengers who confirm their faith that I have come again to establish my kingdom in the Spirit of man and to make with him a covenant of love and justice as it is written.

14. I have set at your right hand a guardian angel who knows your life. His task is to guide you, to protect you from danger. It is the "spiritual world" that stands by you and fulfills a great love mission. You have Elijah, the sacrificial shepherd, who guides your soul, whether incarnated or no longer incarnated.

15. His name is not known to all mankind, nor is his mission. But soon they will know that he is my guide at all times. Mary is motherly love and your consolation in all the tribulations to which the soul is subjected. She intercedes for you, and in these hard times she stands by you to encourage you in your trials. She is the intercessor between the Son and the Father. And the Master who speaks to you has come to teach you and prepare you to leave you behind as my successors when I depart.

16. Mankind, I return to you by means of the human mind to place my teaching in your spirit and my essence in your heart I come back to you as a torch of heavenly light to lead men on the path of spiritualization, which is the way to eternal life.

17. The light of my teachings enlightens you so that you may shine in the shadow of this world.

18. Receive this message that Christ sends you, so that you may enter into thoughtful communication with your Heavenly Father, for He will respond to you in the same loving way

19. Welcome, you afflicted people who are weary of suffering: come and rest in my love. I am peace and rest of soul, and I will leave the same in your soul. I am your bearer of the cross and your hope. Rejoice and be encouraged, I am with you!

20. In the moments when you hear my word, you feel happy. There is peace in my Divine Spirit when I feel that you listen to Me and I want to transmit this feeling to you. You have long awaited my return.

21. Keep my word, which is golden wheat, and do not lose it. It is necessary that you recognize the immeasurable importance of charity, because then you will experience the wonders that love works. How sad it is when any one of my children does not feel in his heart the joy that his spirit soul experiences! I want to see you comforting, loving, healing, be it the body or the soul of the one who suffers. He who loves does not know the hatred that embitters life. He who loves does not know the grudge that destroys the heart and grieves the soul. He who loves has goodness in his word, in his look and in his works, his life is filled with love and his physical death will be gentle.

22. My Spirit comforts yours eternally with his fatherly words. But when you suffer deeply and call Me in your pain, you believe that your call has not been heard by Me. You doubt because you are not able to feel Me. For although you carry me within you, you do not know it, nor do you believe it. When have I failed to tell you that I love you? If you could hear me ─ how happy you would be there. Every man would be a sower on my farmland, an arborist in my orchards, and his seed of love would be watered by me.

23. You are materialized, and therefore you have gone astray and feel far from me. But I will give you the spiritualization that will bring you closer to this source of wisdom and revelation. There are many who daily read the pages of my gospel without following and living my teachings. What good is it to them to repeat my words? On the other hand, those who follow Me on the way of heart, of feeling, will come closer to their Master.

24. Verily I say to you, come to Me, men, but it must be on the ladder of love, of generous thinking. Begin now that you may end your sufferings, that you may stop weeping and awaken from that sleep into which you have sunk.

25. There are so many ways to serve Me and be useful to your neighbor. Spread my seed as consolation to those who suffer. Bear with the trials of pain that befall you on your journey through life by faith. Faith knows no "impossible" because it is a divine gift. United with love, it will be your defense against the storms of this world. What will you be without good action in life? Make use of this existence, for if this should not happen, you will not know health of the soul, because it draws its strength only from goodness. Make sure that your thoughts are pure like lilies, that your works have the fragrance of flowers.

26. Arise, ye men, and come to me, for I am expecting you. Come by the way of the heart, and you will reach your destination on it, and even when centuries pass, I will continue to expect you.

27. Do not be like young birds that die in their nests before they have learned to fly

28. I speak to you through thoughts that come from God at the time of inner readiness (the voice bearer), even if they are expressed through human lips My presence comes to you, caresses you and awakens you. So do not wait for tomorrow to caress those who in turn await you. I do not want to hear you say "Tomorrow I shall set out to fulfill my mission." For if you do not use your life, you will continue to shed tears, and I will continue to wait for you. You are my beloved seed, which promises to bring forth beautiful flowers and good fruits under my care.

29. There in eternity are the souls of those who have been great in the world through their love, their mercy. There they unite after they have finished their task on earth, and from there they offer their assistance to the weak human beings and to the fearful souls that still roam the world, and pour out their love on mankind. There there are no separations or alienations as in your world, where men neither love nor understand each other because their creeds and religious dogmas separate them. Know that religions are only temporary paths that lead souls to the Light, where all will shine equally, united by the law of love.

30. Therefore I tell you that love should be the foundation stone of every religion, because this Light is beyond any theory, science or philosophy, and is felt and recognized by all human beings.

31. Among the multitudes of people who hear my word at this time are those with strong and developed souls, who come in desire for the spiritual and avoid ceremonies, rites, and cult forms. They come in desire for God as love and as wisdom, whom they worship more than matter, and as soon as they are free, they feel that they do not need priests, nor masters, nor teachers. They are like torches illuminating the path of others.

32. Many who today live in the "spiritual valley" drew for you the path of development with their indelible trace of faith, mercy, wisdom, and love. They are high, radiant beings, whom you will meet when you return to the hereafter. For they will unite all in the infinite love of the Father, in which on earth all religious communities should be united. The messages sent by those beings of this world come like white birds to settle down in the minds of men prepared by love and inspiration. How many of those thoughts, inspirations or messages that came to people in the form of angels had to return to the hereafter because they were not able to receive them. There, in my womb, they will wait for human hearts to prepare themselves to send them to them again like a breath of love.

33. Get ready, O men! Do not close your hearts any more when the message returns to you, as the waves return, as the song of the birds returns with the dawn, as hope returns to the hearts tired of suffering and waiting.

34. Love! He who does not love carries within him a deep sadness: that of not possessing, not feeling the most beautiful and highest things in life.

35. This is what Christ taught you with His life and with His death, and what He left you in His divine word, summarized in the sentence: "Love one another with the love I have taught you".

36. The day will come when those who have not loved will free themselves from their bitterness and prejudices, come to Me and rest with Me, where they will return to life and hear My loving Word full of infinite tenderness. Verily, I tell you, in my love is my power, my wisdom and my truth. It is like an infinite stepladder that manifests itself in different forms ─ from the lowest human beings to the highest souls that have attained perfection. Love, even in your own way, but always love. Do not hate, for hate drags a train of death behind it, while you forgive yourself out of love and forget all grudges.

37. Study my word. I will hear you speak of the gifts of the Spirit, of love, of mercy.

38. Know that wisdom is obtained also by the feelings of the heart. Those feelings become words, containing profound teachings, sublime ideas, which love enters.

39. I give you this light, that your life may be increased and transformed, that you may give of this light to the sick, to children, to the needy, for this way will not wear you out.

40. Become apostles of good, and your spiritual face will become so beautiful that it will be reflected in your works.

41. If you have believed that you have gained heaven because you have heard my teaching, you are in error. Heaven will be gained only by him who follows my teachings. If you believe that the soul will have the necessary peace of mind by participating in the rites of the various religious communities, I tell you with certainty: No! The soul has peace only when conscience does not reproach it.

42. My love always seeks the one who needs it most. Thus I became a man then, to devote myself to a people. This people heard my word. But although they had heard the truth, they did not recognize me, and their blindness culminated in shedding the innocent blood of the Lamb.

43. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! ─ Land where my preaching and sacrifice ended. You will not be the only one in pain and war. Yet you will be sorely afflicted. But there will also be war in other places because men create it with their thinking, and in it they will have to find their end.

44. When men think of war in their thoughts, it is because they have no love in their hearts. But I ask you: Why can you not love, nor forgive? Do you think that I love those who sacrificed Me less than those who wept for Me? Know that through your lack of love and understanding you are still crucifying Me.

45. Jerusalem is now a place of pain, and I tell you beware of shedding innocent blood or slandering my emissaries, for your children will then shed many tears because of everyone you cast out and will suffer great pain for the sake of one whom you cause pain This will not be my punishment, but the fruit of your seed.

46. Weep, ye men, if ye know not how to love, weep; if ye know not how to forgive, weep with the bitterness of him that weepeth his own death. For he who does not love cannot come to Me. Therefore I say to you: Weep, be moved inwardly, because if you feel, it is because you still have life and can wash yourselves clean in your tears of repentance.

47. At all times I have turned to the children of my people to remind them of the covenant they have made with the Father and to tell them that they are the messengers of my peace among this humanity that has strayed into the ways of sin

48. My light has always shone on the way of "Israel", that it may do works in it that are pleasing to the eyes of the Lord.

49. The light of my divinity hath always shined upon the people. But when they thought they had been forsaken, they have lost their spirituality and faith and have fallen into idolatry.

50. Therefore his spiritual progress has been slow. If this people had freed themselves from egoism from the earliest times and had passed on to the peoples of the earth all that I gave them and revealed to them, my law and teaching would be respected by all mankind. But look at the world as it passes away without my law, drinking a very bitter cup and suffering hunger and pain.

51. My people were unable to prevent the earth from being watered with human blood. Peace never came about because the messengers of it kept it for themselves in their hearts, because they doubted that they would be able to perform this miracle. You are like my disciple Thomas, who gave you a painful example and showed himself to you as an apostle of Me who doubted my truth. There are also among you those who doubt.

52. There are children of this people whose hearts have become vain, until they thought themselves to be unqualified masters on earth. These are souls who are dominated by the materialism of the world and the need of the heart for recognition.

53. They are those who have forgotten my righteousness and the immortality of the soul, who have covered them with a dark bandage that prevents them from seeing the clarity of my light. But my justice and my love come down in this time to the members of this people, who according to my will are again incarnated on earth to tell men how to distribute my peace and blessings among mankind.

Among this people here are those whom I sent out in this time so that they would authenticate my new revelation among you, and that they would later bear witness to it to your fellow men. You now feel a deep pain when you see that although you are close to your Lord, you do not love one another, you have not acknowledged one another, and you have moments when you feel peaceless.

54. You will not see Me as a man in this time; but though you do not see Me with your eyes, you will believe in My rallies You will have to recognize the time in which you are spiritual and the mission which I have entrusted to you.

55. This time of responsibility weighs on you. To advance in the struggle, first fathom my word, with the feeling of listening to the Master on the bank of a river. In this time, through renewal, your soul will attain great purity and become worthy to share its gifts with others and worthy to be in my presence.

56. When the world learns that you have had Me among you and have heard Me, it will seek in this people virtues, examples and teachings capable of convincing them.

57. Not only you will do good to others. It is I who prepare the hearts so that they may do you good deeds when you need them. And you who are light-feeling will know to whom you owe these benefits.

58. For it will not be my will that puts thorns in your way, because I truly love you. You only encounter what you yourselves have sown on the way, and if it is pain, if it is repugnance, if it is tears, do not blame your God and do not blaspheme, for you are the children of light.

59. Understand that you are all heirs of my kingdom. But to take it, you must render great merits.

60. Act in your lives according to my law, and it will bring you like a shining star to the gates of the Promised Land.

61. Be in the world the light, the way, the knowledge. Invite your fellow men to come to my table, which awaits you. At it you will enjoy the bread of eternal life.

62. Eat, rich and poor, for this feast will cost you nothing. But you must mingle among yourselves so that true joy may reign in this feast.

63. Come near to hear this word, for soon you shall hear it no more.

64. When I speak of the end of this rallies approaching, some among you cannot understand why I do not allow it to go on indefinitely among men To this I answer you that none of the revelation forms in which God has spoken to men in the course of time has been eternal. Your father always had to humanize himself in this, and how much this was necessary to be heard, seen and felt by you. Therefore the physically perceptible rallies will never be the highest and most perfect way of your communication with the Lord.

65. Once you have attained, through spiritualization, the exaltation of your lives, when the justice, love, and light that are present in my teaching are the norm of your works, and the devotion that you show to me is absolutely spiritual, then you will be in the time of dialogue from Spirit to Spirit, of perfect communication ─ when the Father is no longer compelled, to chisel its law into a stone, in order to make itself understandable and to attain obedience ─ if it must let its divine "word" no longer become humans, in order to speak by human lips to humans ─ if it no longer must use the clumsy mind of voice carriers, to whom I granted my objection in this third time.

66. My law, chiselled in stone, is eternal in its meaning, but its outer form is transitory. I made the tablets disappear, in which the commandments were engraved. What your father wanted was that the law should remain written in the hearts. I also tell you that not even Jesus, the promised, the anointed, the Son of God was eternally on earth. His word, His teaching, His works and His exemplary life were indeed imperishable, had eternal essence. But his human life in the world was short. For after He had radiated himself in wisdom, in love and in mercy, there was no reason to stay a moment longer after He had completed His exemplary work. The voice of Christ is the word of the Father; it resounded and will resound forever in all souls.

67. The same will happen in this time, people. This way in which my Spirit makes itself known to you through the brains of the voicebearers will soon come to an end, for it is not the most perfect. The meaning, however, that emerges from the words coming from the lips of the voice-bearers will be eternal, since it is the same word essence as that which I brought to you before, and the same essence that contains the law which I gave to you in the First Time.

68. Think seriously as good disciples, and you will realize that the outward forms, the humanized or material part of all your Father's rallies cannot be among you forever. For if this were to happen, you would never find your way out of your stasis, you would never evolve. But you must understand that it is your spiritual destiny to ascend, to attain, to conquer, to know.

69. The outer part of that revelation of the Father on Sinai was the stone that served as a means to carve the Divine Law in it.

70. The outward part of God's rallies to men through Jesus was the body shell, the human form of Christ. And in the present time the outward part of my rallies has been the voice bearer, so this form of revelation, like that of the past, will come to an end.

71. Understand that you are children of the spiritualist people, who are to feed not on forms but on essence. If you understand my word correctly, you will never again fall into idolatry, nor will you cling to external rituals, to forms, to the transitory, because you will always strive for the essential, the eternal.

72. Recognize that in everything you live bound to the material. I have seen how, when one of your loved ones leaves this world, you cling to his lifeless body, desiring to give him new life or to hold him back, without considering that it is not that body, that form, with which you are to remain attached, but the soul of him who, from this moment on, looks at you from a world with more light, without leaving your side, without confusing or forgetting you, without breaking the eternal bonds with which you are all attached.

73. He who weeps over the death of the flesh, because he thinks he sees the end of a beloved being in the process, is a "dead man," who weeps over another dead man, is an ignorant man and without light, who has closed his heart to him who looks at him from the light.

74. If man would confine himself to studying and living the teachings of my teaching instead of complicated religions, there would be more light in your world, there would be peace in souls.

75 Great is the testament that God has put into your hands. But you do not yet know what you possess. Therefore your planet is still a valley of tears.

76. If, instead of dreaming of discovering the Ark of the Covenant, which contained the tablets of the Law, and of immortalizing the figure of the Divine Master in various images, people would confine themselves to penetrating the meaning of the Divine Law and teaching, they would truly unite and there would be peace.

77.I tell you all this because you, who have received one of the great revelations in this time, are in danger of clinging to the outward part, that is, the form, to try to keep it with you forever. Those who should act in this way will be "dead" who guard their dead, because all forms pass away, and of them only the essential, the spiritual, the eternal, remains.

78. Use your mind so that you understand, and make use of your will so that you act accordingly.

My peace be with you!
