Teaching 235:

1. I came to you like a new day, lovingly removing your incomprehension and doubt with my light.

2. Come to the banquet prepared by Me, that you may feed your mouth with the good food that will fill you with power and grace

3. I invite you to enjoy peace and salvation from the troubled sea, and mark again the path of brotherhood and love, because I want you to become an example of virtue and duty

4. Dangers lurk and threaten your soul But my light keeps you awake, and your prayer lets you triumph. You see this world filled with evil and selfish acts. The man and the woman hurt each other and sprinkle their way with thistles and thorns. You feel sadness when you see the children straying into crooked ways. This is where the messengers of light, comfort and peace are needed.

5. While storms whip mankind, I go through the Book of Life page by page before your Spirit to make you soldiers of peace.

6. My Spirit speaks to you through the human mind. In this time "The Word" has not become man, and therefore I can tell you again: Blessed is he who believed to see without Me, for he will learn many teachings from my secret treasury.

7. Disciples, think of what is close at hand, which is the end of this form of my rallies. The year 1950 is drawing near, and after that you will not hear my word any more. If you do not watch, temptation will overtake you, and the false Christ will present himself through "workers" who are at my service today and tomorrow will deny that my word has been ended because of their weakness. They will put a dark bandage on the eyes of their brothers and lead the crowds on the way of pain and darkness, will put chains of ignorance on the souls and will open before them abysses of abandonment and bitterness. Then those who have fallen into this confusion will turn blasphemously against me and condemn me, forgetting that the Master warned you in time so that you would not be tempted.

8. Recognize the Way, recognize that the HolySpirit in his wisdom is calling you from the top of the mountain to give you rest, to let you hear the heavenly voice blessing the coming of your soul, which knew how to overcome the weakness of the body and the pitfalls of the world

9. Let your soul drink the wine I offer it, let it continue to be nourished by my love The sick will regain health, and the blind will see my light. For these hearts will open like a flower whose fragrance will reach the Father.

10. May the mercy of my Divine Spirit enliven your body and your soul, beloved disciples.

11. I receive you as little children, to give you a lesson through the human mind.

12. Approach Me, listen to Me, and keep each of My sentences, fathom them, for by their meaning you will be able to forget your pains, tribulations and sorrows Forget the past for a short time and live the present moment. I am the way, the truth and the life.

13. Dedicate your pure thoughts to this sublime moment, because I want to enter into the innermost part of your heart

14. Once you are able to understand and live my teaching through my word, and you have developed the abilities of your soul, you will have filled your hearts with the water of this divine spring, with which you will be able to quench the thirst of the needy.

15. The purpose of my teaching is the moral and spiritual salvation of mankind. To help you in your upward development, my Spirit radiates this light. This is the purpose of my message.

16. Verily I say to you, human renewal must begin with the woman, so that her fruits, which will be the men of tomorrow, may be free from the blemishes that have brought you to degeneration.

17. After that it will be up to the man to do his part in this work of restoration; for everyone who has corrupted a woman will have to restore her.

18. Remember, men, that often it was you who brought down virtuous women in their nets, seeking in them the sensitive and weak sides. But those mirrors which were clear and which are cloudy today, you shall make them reflect again the purity and beauty of their soul.

19. Why do you today despise those very people whom you once seduced to a degenerate life? Why do you complain about the degeneration of women? Understand that if you had led her on the way of my law, which is the law of the Heart and Spirit, of respect and charity, loving her with the love that lifts up and not with the passion that diminishes, you would have no reason to weep and complain, and she would not have fallen.

20. The man seeks and expects virtues and beauty from the woman. But why do you demand that which you do not deserve? I see that you still think you have great merits, although you have few. Rebuild with your works, words, and thoughts what you have destroyed, and give honor, morality, and virtue the value they have.

21. When you strive in this way, men, you help Jesus in his work of salvation, and your heart will be filled with joy when you see the homes honored by good wives and honorable mothers. Your joy will be great when you see virtue return to those who had lost it.

22. Redemption is for all. Why should not even the greatest sinner be redeemed? This is why I say to you men: work with Me to save those whom you have plunged into ruin by instilling new hope in them with the light of my teaching. Let my loving thoughts reach their minds and hearts. Take my messages to them also to the prisons and hospitals, even to the places of the mire. For there they will weep with remorse and pain because they were not strong enough when the world with its temptations drew them to ruin.

23. Every woman was once a child, every woman was once a virgin, therefore you could reach their heart with empathy.

24. I will avail myself of those men who have not defiled these virtues, and will entrust this task to them. Remember that I have said to you: "By your works you shall be known.

25. Allow the soul to speak through the earthly manifestation.

26. But to those who were not prepared to respect the charms I had placed in that being, I say: Why do you say that you love if it is not love that you feel? Why do you give cause for others to fall, and nothing keeps you from it? Think: What would your heart feel if what you do with those defoliated flowers were to be done to your mother, your sister, or your beloved and therefore respected wife? Have you ever thought of the wounds you have inflicted on the parents of those who raised them with so much love?

27. Ask your heart in a real test in the light of conscience whether you can reap what you have not sown.

28. What are you preparing for your future life when you constantly hurt your neighbor? How many will be your victims? What will be your end? Truly I tell you, you have made many victims in the whirlwind of your passions; some belong to your present and the others to your past.

29. I want that the heart and mouth, which were a stronghold of infidelity and falsehood, become a stronghold of truth and chaste love.

30. Illuminate the way of your neighbor through the word and your example, that you may be the saviors of fallen women. Oh, if only each of you would redeem at least one of them! Do not speak ill of that woman, because the hurtful word that wounds one will hurt all who hear it ─ because from that moment on, even those who hear it will become evil judges. Respect the actions and secrets of others, for it is not for you to judge them. I prefer men who have fallen in sin and whom I will raise up again, to hypocrites who display purity and still sin. I prefer a great sinner who is sincere, however, to the pretense of false virtue. If you want to adorn yourselves, let it be the festive garments of sincerity.

31. If you find a virtuous woman with high feelings and feel unworthy to come to her, though you love her, and if you then humiliate and despise her, and, after you have suffered and realized your transgression, turn to her for comfort, you will knock at her door in vain.

32. If all the women who have played a part in the life of every man had received from him the word and the feeling of love, respect and understanding, your world would not be at the level of sin where it is.

33. Do not treat your wife badly, be merciful, she is part of yourselves I have told you: "Love one another. Begin with your own family, for then you will love and understand the others also.

34. The Master of love and peace has shaken you with his words full of warmth but also of justice. For if I would always speak to you with gentleness, my work would not be complete. Sometimes I am a springtime breeze caressing, and sometimes an autumn storm whipping. The reason for this is that at times you feel too great. You feel loved and admired, but in reality you are vain, selfish and heartless. You do not know your misery, which only I have made clear to you so that you may recognize your immaturity.

35. Begin to think, to work and to live; mankind needs new men and women who, by the example of their good works, show it the way to salvation.

36. Men, men, all of you who clash with one another! I have found you denying your wickedness and boasting of what you think is greatness, while you hide your shame. But I tell you that the man who thinks he is praiseworthy in his apparent greatness is a poor man in soul. And to those who, for lack of virtues, blaspheme at the faults of others and judge foreign transgressions, I must say that they are hypocrites and are very far from justice and truth.

37. Murder not only those who take the life of the body, but also those who tear the heart through slander. Those who kill the feelings of the heart, the faith, the ideal, are murderers of the soul. And how many of them live free, without prison and without chains.

38. Marvel not that I speak to you in this way, for I see among you homes destroyed, because you, disregarding your duties, have entered into new obligations outside of them, not caring for the pain and abandonment of your loved ones. Look around you, how many homes are destroyed, how many women in vice, and how many children without a father. How could tenderness and love exist in those hearts? Do you not think that the one who killed the happiness of those people and destroyed what was sacred is a criminal?

39. You have become so accustomed to evil that you yourselves call great the people who invent these new weapons of death, because in a moment they can destroy millions of lives. And you even call them scholars. Where is your reason then? Greatness can only be through the Spirit, and teaching can only be done by him who walks in the way of truth.

40. Do not confuse the warmongers with the great geniuses, lest you give your admiration not to those who bear only evil in their souls, even if they outwardly display a dignity which they do not have. If you were to hear for a moment the voice of reason and conscience, it would knock it off its pedestal. But the degenerate is not interested in recognizing himself as he is, and when he sees for a moment the wretched man he carries within himself, he prefers to direct his thoughts to something else. It is unpleasant for him to recognize and evaluate his faults.

41. O ye men of the earth, when shall ye at last hear the message of that inner voice of conscience that rises up at every turn to reproach you for your unworthy deeds?

42. You listen to me agitatedly, and that because ─ when the truth of Christ speaks ─ man falls silent in the knowledge of his guilt.

43. Today I have inspired you to save the woman who stumbled on her way; and when you then present to Me the one you have saved, I will give her a flower, blessing and very great peace so that she will not fall again

44. When you fulfill this task in this way, those beings who have been wounded by the world will feel the love of Jesus entering into their hearts.

45. I will hear it when they say to Me in their prayers, "My Father, do not look upon my sin, only look upon my pain. Judge not my depravity, look only at my suffering." At that moment my consolation will descend upon that tormented heart and it will be purified with tears. If only you knew that the prayer of the sinner is felt more strongly than that of the proud man who considers himself just and pure.

46. Among the multitudes who hear my word are also those women of whom I have spoken to you My cloak has protected them from your looks and your judgments, for I have also placed them at the great banquet of the Spirit.

47. I have called them to this feast of love and forgiveness, so that they may feel in my presence the love which they sought and never felt and found among men.

48. My tenderness will descend upon those grieved hearts and speak to them, and they will feel me and believe me.

49. Then you will see the nature of the work that defiles, and the nature of the one who redeems. You will experience the wonders that true love performs, and so you will help your Lord to restore what you yourselves have destroyed. That which you have defiled, I will cleanse. Then those fallen flowers will again adorn the altar of the universe with their virtue and fragrance.

50. See how I absolve sinners through the lips of those who are also sinners!

51. But you women who think you belong to higher social classes and are ashamed to approach those who have sinned ─ woe betide you if you feel offended by it because you have not understood that you are all equal spiritually! Many of you have not sinned physically, but you have sinned in your thoughts, and how many others of you have been able to hide your transgressions! So if you have sinned ─ why are you outraged? I tell you that both girls and wives and mothers must struggle for the noble ideal that I have inspired you on this day.

52. This is the teaching that the Master gives you with His Word, which gives you strength and love. Work and love so that your heart may attain the peace and spiritual bliss of which I spoke to you in the Sermon on the Mount.

53. It is not I who comes down to you, but you rise up to the "cloud" to hear my voice.

54. In the third time the "Divine Word" did not become man, it came to you in spiritual form. This part of the earth in which you live has been destined today to receive the fulfillment of my promises and counsel. Here I am currently writing the third of my Testaments, and here I gathered you together so that you would expect Me. For you are the same as those in times past. Just as you expected Me in this time, and your waiting was painful, full of longing, only to return from the light of my promise, encouraged, so in the First Time, when the chains of your bondage rattled, you endured the sufferings of homelessness, sustained by the hope of my promise given to your forefathers. I put your faith to the test, you earned merits of perseverance, and finally, as a reward, you gained possession of the Promised Land.

55. You have discovered a new life. The people forgot their former slavery. The false gods stayed away from them. The oppression and bondage was over, and every child of Israel opened his eyes to see that the sun was his, the children were his, the fields were his; that the bread tasted good to him, and fruit was abundant. You have made great progress as long as you lived within the limits of my law. But the news of your splendor reached other kingdoms and aroused their greed for possession, and when discord arose among the tribes of the people, other peoples came upon you, to make you once more servants and tributaries of kingdoms and empires.

56. My righteousness took that land from you, but at the same time saved your soul, to purify it and send it out in search of that corner of the earth, which is like that which you possessed, and whose virgin womb gave you milk and honey and was rich in blessings.

57. To him I have come in desire for you. Here again is My Presence among you, illuminating and encouraging you, so that you may not again become slaves of the world, nor of lowly passions. The chains that you have broken must not again force you down, and even if you should feel your human life oppressed, your soul will be free from chains so that you may rise up and see my truth.

58. Consider all your sufferings and misfortunes as the crucible that purifies you, or as the anvil that steels you to be strong in the way of ascension and purification of your soul.

59. I know that you suffer, because I taste your daily bread and find it bitter. I enter your home and feel no peace in it. I seek you in the corner of your night camp and meet you crying. Then I let you feel my presence and give you my strength so that you do not collapse under the burden of pain. You live with the fearful and worldwide aches and pains, but blasphemy will never come from your lips.

60. Once the days of trial are over, you will be surprised that you have survived them safely and you will realize that I was always with you.

61. I have summoned you in this time to give you a new opportunity to fulfill your mission. For you are to let all your fellow men share in your inheritance, since I love all equally.

62. You will find perfect peace for your soul when your struggle ends in the "spiritual valley. At present you are soldiers fighting for this cause, and you must not sleep.

63. This spiritualist people lives unknown. The world has no knowledge of your existence, the powerful do not take note of you. But the battle between spiritualists and Christians, between spiritualists and Jews, is approaching. This struggle is necessary for the validity of my teaching in all mankind. Then the Old Testament will be united with the Second and Third Testaments in a single essence.

64. For many of you this may seem impossible, but for me it is the most natural, correct and perfect.

65. When I lived among you as a man, the Church of Moses was introduced and represented by princes, priests and scribes who, although they possessed the prophecies and knew of the coming of the Messiah, did not open their eyes to see My signs, nor opened their hearts to feel My presence. But when they heard my word, they put their eyes down because their Spirit made them aware that they were before the Judge. But because they were not prepared, they could not explain my presence in that form, and since they doubted me, they also made the people doubt.

66. How few felt Me! How few confessed when they saw Me, that I am the Son of God!

67. After my sacrificial death the battle began. The persecution was great for those who followed Me in the way of pain, slander and imprisonment until death. They were driven out of their own land and wandered through foreign nations, sowing my seed, which fell on fertile fields where it germinated, blossomed and bore fruit.

68. When the disciples of Christ's teaching were strengthened, they sought union with the "first", telling them that the God who gave the law through Moses was the same as he who spoke through the mouth of Christ.

69. The dispute was intense and was sealed with blood. But at the end of it my will was fulfilled, when the testaments of the First and Second Revelation were united into one work.

70. Therefore I tell you that before the Revelation of the Third Age is united with the earlier testaments, you must survive the great spiritual battle that is announced.

71. Marvel not that the union of the three testaments is not carried out in the nation which was destined for these revelations in the Third Age. Nor did the union of the First Testament with the Second happen in Judea. Remember that I too was not a prophet in my homeland.

72. Do not be anxious for the miracles of the past times to be repeated. Penetrate the core of my teachings so that you may discover that I have come at all times with the one purpose of redeeming you.

73. I say to you again: Do not forget the law because of the traditions. I abolished many traditions, but I taught the fulfillment of the Law. But if, in the last hours I spent with you as a man, I blessed the bread and wine and changed them (symbolically!) into my body and blood so that you would remember Me through them and carry Me in your hearts, you must realize today that you have no need of symbols in this Third Age because I am offering you my body and blood spiritually in my teaching.

74. Today I want your heart to be bread and wine for your fellow man by loving him, illuminating him, raising him to truth and love

75. In no time have I come as a minister, never have I celebrated rites with you. I have only been the Master who gave you His teachings in parables.

76. Today mankind is gradually entering into spiritual preparation; the great ones of the earth are slowly bowing down as they understand their work But it is not yet time for the pain to be taken away from this world. Because men would again rise up against me by using science and the forces of nature as tools of revenge. Therefore the cup of suffering will be drunk for a while yet.

77. Once mankind is prepared, my voice will resound in every Spirit, and men will realize that there is no other power, no other justice, no other wisdom than mine.

78. Long is the history of this world, long is the way of mankind ─ with the struggle of its peoples to reach the climax after the decline and collapse has come. How much blood shed by my children, by which the earth was reddened, how many tears of men, women and children! How many sins and transgressions! But also: How many proofs of love have I received, how much virtue have I seen! But after you have lived so long, you still have not reached the goal of peace and redemption.

79. The "last battles" with their bitterness and the "last whirlwinds" have not yet arrived. It is still to come that all forces will be thrown into turmoil and the atoms will swirl around in a chaos, so that after all this a lethargy, an exhaustion, a sadness and a disgust will occur, giving the appearance of death. But this will be the hour in which the vibrating echo of a trumpet will be heard in the spirit souls that have become sensitive, announcing to you from the beyond that the kingdom of life and peace is approaching among men of good will. At that sound "the dead will rise" and shed tears of repentance, and the Father will receive them as the "Prodigal Sons", tired from the long journey and weary from the great struggle, and will seal their soul with the kiss of love.

80. From this "day" on, man will abhor war. He will banish hatred and resentment from his heart, will pursue sin and begin a life of reparation and reconstruction. Many will be inspired by a light that they did not see before, and will set out to create a world of peace.

81 It will be only the beginning of the time of grace, the age of peace.

82. The Stone Age is already far behind. The age of science will also pass, and then the age of the Spirit will flourish among men.

83. The wellspring of life will reveal great mysteries, so that men will build a world strong in the science of good, in justice and in love.

My peace be with you!
