Teaching 239:

1. Feel Me, for I am very close to you. He who is convinced of my presence feels me in the innermost part of his heart.

2. Nevertheless, I tell you once more: no one forces you to believe nor to follow Me The light of faith will ignite by itself and it will bring your love to light.

3. You are the privileged creature in this earth valley, whom I have endowed with the gift of reason, and whom I have placed in the midst of a vast world full of works, creatures and manifestations of my power, which are a testimony that He who gave them life is omnipotent

4. I have granted freedom of thought to man from the beginning, but he has always been a slave ─ ─ one time through fanaticism, other times as a slave to the false beliefs of Pharaoh and Emperor. This is the reason why he is blinded at this time in view of the freedom that the Spirit is currently gaining and the clarity that is presented to his eyes, because his mind is not used to this freedom.

5. Man had diminished the power of his comprehension of the spiritual, and because of this he fell into fanaticism, wandering in crooked paths, being like a shadow of the will of others.

6. He had lost his freedom, was no longer master of himself, nor of his thoughts

7. But the age of light has come ─ the time when you must break the chains and spread your wings to fly freely into infinity in your desire for truth.

8. Spiritualization is freedom. Therefore, those who are currently hearing me and have understood the meaning of this liberating teaching see a wide valley opening before them, in which they will fight and bear witness that the time has come when God, the Almighty Creator, came to establish dialogue between Him and man.

9. That direct communication which men believed to be impossible between a God who is all power, wisdom and perfection and the human creature full of misery, ignorance and sin, I have realized. It is I who have come to you.

10. Who could have imagined that man could hold dialogue with his Lord? You thought that this was only the prerogative of the righteous and the prophets ─ of those who, blinded by their own visions, fell down and then announced the coming of the Messiah ─ of those whose prayer was so deep and fervent that they fell in rapture and could see the divine.

11. Today there is hardness of heart, much unbelief in the spiritual, and men limit themselves to believing only in what they can comprehend and what they do not reject, though in their inner being they never cease to sense the life that awaits them beyond death.

12. I am giving you this teaching by using a human mind like yours, so that you may feel this Word very close to you. What does it mean that I rallies through a sinful man when he knows how to prepare himself to receive Me?

13. What is strange about the fact that I make myself known in the same way when I speak to you in your dreams ─ when I touch your heart with my love wherever you walk and stand when you need me most? There is something within you that lifts you above the world in which you live. What could it be but the spirit soul, which is a reflection of the Divine?

14. Awaken, people, understand Me Be occupied with my teaching and with your spirit soul.

15. I come to you as Master and as Father. every teaching I give you strengthens you for the daily work that awaits you. For it is my will that you remain calm in the midst of the chaos of world views and doctrines and be those who give the right interpretation of my teaching.

16. Some have wondered because I make myself known through man, and they are not sure whether this is done according to the will of the Father or out of human will. But I tell you: it was the Master who surprised mankind ─ the "chaste husband" who found the virgins sleeping and their lamps extinguished.

17. There are religious communities that seek to prepare for my return, not knowing that I am already in the process of parting.

18. I called everyone, and in truth my call and the rumor that I am presently making myself known to men reached every corner of the earth, together with testimonies and proofs that speak of Me: renewed sinners, converted unbelievers, "dead" who rise from the dead, the incurably sick who get well, and the possessed who are delivered from their evil.

19. But I met many deaf, others vain in their earthly reputation, and still others too fearful to make my rallies known as the Spirit of truth. I received and taught all who came to me and trusted in my love.

20. When you came to this fountain, you all purified yourselves of the dust which you had received in the world, that you might be worthy to take the bread from the table, and that you might not defile the leaf of my law.

21. The hour is coming, in which judgment shall be fully felt in the world. Every work, every word and every thought will be judged. From the mighty of the earth who rule the nations to the least ─ they will all be weighed on my divine scales.

22. But confuse not righteousness with retribution, nor reparation with punishment. For I only allow you to reap the fruits of your seed and eat them, so that you may recognize by their taste and effect whether they are good or harmful, whether you have sown good or bad.

23. The innocent blood shed by human evil, the grief and tears of widows and orphans, the outcast, the miserable and hungry ─ they all call for justice, and my perfect and loving but merciless justice comes down on all.

24. I take away from man his thrones, his pride with which he challenges Me, his power. I convince him that he is my child and that I want him to be humble, because my kingdom belongs to the humble and I want to give it to him as an heir. Remember that I said, "Easier a camel goes through the eye of a needle than a rich man goes to heaven.

25. Be always with Me, and you will always have my peace.

26 "Workers", remember how I come down to collect the fruits that you have reaped on my estate.

27. Although I see some coldhearted, others question Me with interest, and some thank Me because rejoicing breaks out of their hearts

28. Verily I tell you, the trouble you are having today to till the fields which were once barren will give your soul peace and joy

29. What peace has your heart experienced after you embraced the weary with your arms, and after you gave the light of reason to him whose spiritual faculties were disturbed.

30. Surely you have needed much time to develop your abilities and gifts, for this development did not begin in your present material life. Nor does fear or lack of faith keep you from walking with greater certainty, although there are many souls among you who can call themselves first-born among mankind.

31. Now you are living in the Third Era, in which I have made myself known through the human mind ─ a rallies, which now comes to an end, but after which you will not lose me, because I am close to everyone who knows how to seek me and expect me.

32. When I once withdrew into the desert, I did not leave mankind, rather I thought of them and suffered for them. Later, when the earth opened up to be the grave of my body, I separated myself neither from my children. For beyond the death which you gave me, my Spirit arose to be in all as the light of redemption.

33. When I tell you that my word will end at the end of 1950 and my spiritual world will no longer speak to you, then understand that both the Father and his spiritual servants will continue to watch over your lives and work for mankind and every erring and light-needy soul.

34. Behold, I bequeath to you a new testament which will not suffer any falsification because I leave it kept in the temple of your heart where I dwell. So how could you lose me when you carry me within you?

35. You will study my teachings, in some of which you will find righteousness, in others wisdom and instruction, in others comfort and balm, and in some prophecy. My word is law and commandment, is way and end, is love. Watch out, for in the times of battle temptations will lie in wait for your steps, and the greater your resolution for renewal and your devotion to my teachings, the stronger will be the voices and calls that try to lead you astray. Give your soul, therefore, firmness that you may attain the manhood and strength of good soldiers.

36. Feel all my kisses of love and peace.

37. Rest with the master, beloved disciples. Refresh your soul and strengthen your body.

38. I shine my light on all without distinction of races and classes, as I have sent great spirits to incarnate in all times and to all peoples, through whom mankind has received my divine messages, the law, the prophecies, the revelations.

39. In my love for you, I too became man so that you would feel Me very close, and though many did not recognize Me in Jesus, it later became light in them and they understood their error and loved Me

40. Again I give you my teaching. But instead of becoming man, I now make myself known through him.

41. I meet you spiritually straying from the path, weak and sick, tired and indifferent, within a world whose science has given you a false greatness. When you recognized that in the midst of the glories of your century you have no peace in you and do not yet know the spiritual, nor find nourishment for the heart, you turned your eyes to the Eternal and asked Him when the new apostles of peace and love would come to earth.

42. This is the reason why I hold those whom I have called to hear me responsible for peace. For they have been prepared by me as watchmen.

43. Once mankind raises its eyes to the Creator in the desire for forgiveness and consolation, one of the prophecies of the Second Age will come true. Then men will recognize my light as a saving star that will guide their steps to the New Jerusalem, where they will find the bread of life.

44. For a long time now, the soothing bell has been ringing without ceasing to ring, inviting people to gather together.

45. I see sadness in your hearts because you have encountered disbelief, indifference, and mockery, which have pierced your heart like thorns and spikes, because you have received this pain from your own relatives, from your own brothers and sisters, and also from your friend.

46. Be not troubled, says Jesus to you, for you are not alone. I will knock on the door of those hearts, and they will knock on yours later. I only want you to have no bitterness nor resentment, that you may "watch" and be prepared.

47. Your soul is invited to my table to eat the food of eternal life. Here, at this table, there is no first nor last in their seats; all the seats you can take are close to the Master. Later on, when you go out to the people for teaching, you will have only one place in your hearts to receive and love your fellow men. This hour will come, and you will have to set out on the paths that lead to the great peoples of the earth, as well as to the insignificant regions and small villages. You will see how everywhere you will find hunger and thirst of the soul as a suitable land to receive your seed.

48. The year 1950, which is destined for my departure, is drawing near, and when it is over, the time of preparation will begin among you, so that you may then begin to set out on your journey I will make the hour recognizable to everyone. I want that when you begin your mission, you have reached a little spiritual maturity, that you are strong in faith and know how to keep yourselves in virtue. In your daily work you will be assisted by my inspiration, which you will receive from Spirit to Spirit. You will then see how many have been waiting for you!

49. In this third time I will pour out immeasurable mercy on mankind through my rallies and those of the spiritual world through your minds. But already in the first time I had spoken through the mouth of my prophets and in the second time through my apostles.

50. Today I am among you anew. I have come to reap the forgotten leaf of teaching which I gave you in another time.

51. I remind you of my former teaching and teach you to interpret it.

52.  I am the book which I have opened in this time in its sixth chapter to reveal to men another lesson of wisdom which they must possess to rightly call themselves "children of light".

53. Only when you understand the content of this message will you be able to tell the world with certainty that it was My Voice that you heard, that it was My Word that taught you that the light you saw was the one that radiated the Sixth Seal.

54. From one period and one stage to another, I have shown myself more and more before your Spirit Could the children love the Father if they did not know Him? Understand why I show you my love, let you feel my presence, and let you hear my voice.

55. So far your impulse to seek me to find truth, peace, upliftment, has not been spontaneous

56. You had to penetrate into the great spiritual desert to get to know thirst, loneliness, hardships, misfortunes, hunger, weariness. Only then did you set out in search of water that gives life, in search of an oasis, in search of that trace that leads you to lands of peace.

57. How many lessons has the desert of your life revealed to you! How many lessons have you learned in the struggle of life, and how much have you grown stronger in pain! Tomorrow, when you have entered the Promised Land of the Spirit, and the gates of the New Jerusalem open to receive you in its bosom of peace, you will bless the time of your reparation, which was that of your crossing of the vast desert of trials and purification.

58. Moses strengthened his people spiritually throughout the desert journey, and Joshua made the multitudes enter the Promised Land ─ a land that was but a symbol or emblem of the eternal and true home promised to your Spirit.

59. Now it is Elijah, who goes invisible before the people, who are a hundred times greater, to take you step by step on the desert way to the goal of your pilgrimage, which will be the home of the righteous, of souls full of true love and true wisdom

60. Do you know what will bring you closer to that promised kingdom? Your works of love, mercy, humility.

61. Today my people know not who they are, nor where they are, nor what they shall do. But when once the spiritualists appear all over the world, preaching with words and bearing witness with their works to the light that inspires my teaching, all will become one, recognize and finally unite, thus forming the new people of Israel, who will be the bulwark of spiritualization and the true interpreter of the Father's law.

62. With my light I mark all those who are to follow me in this time. My light will flow down from Spirit to Spirit.

63. In the second time it was the blood of my sacrificial death that poured into the hearts to enlighten the souls.

64. In the First Time, the symbolic act of marking the door of the home with the blood of an innocent lamb was the commandment of the Father to that people whom I placed on the path of divine revelations from that moment on.

65. In the Three Times the Lord has certainly marked those who must follow Him, although I tell you that the seal of my love is forever imprinted indestructibly on every soul

66. Hear my teaching and reflect upon it, you disciples who have been given the grace to hear Me in these times For later you will have to explain my teachings to men.

67. Do not think that my word must be heard by human voices in all nations. No, disciples, the time is drawing near when my rallies will be silenced by these mouthpieces. But a people will remain as a witness, through whose words and works mankind will hear me. The testimony and explanation you give of my teaching will be the preparation that men will receive to begin the dialogue from Spirit to Spirit.

68. See how many people at this time are researching the scriptures of past times, reflecting on the prophets and trying to grasp the promises Christ made about His return

69. Hear how they say: "The Master is near" ─ "The Lord is already here", or: "He will come soon", and add: "The signs of his return are clear and obvious.

70. Some seek and call me, others feel my presence, still others suspect my coming in Spirit.

71. Alas, if only already in all were that thirst for knowledge, if only all had that desire for knowledge of the highest truth!

72. Many do not know that I came into the world, that I make myself known to men through the human mind, and since they do not know that I have been with you, they can know even less that the end of my word is already near.

73. But I tell you once again that this people will come out of secrecy to the light to testify my coming

74. I do not want people to discover this people already today, because its insignificant and imperfect works would be ─ in their eyes ─ instead of awakening the faith of men ─ the denial of the spiritualization that my teaching proclaims.

75. How would the world judge you if it saw your ingratitude? How would those who are hungry and thirsty of soul judge you, if they saw your carelessness and your selfishness? But I still trust in you and continue to give you my teaching.

76. The days will come when messengers, missionaries and apostles will set out from this people and sow this seed in tribes, provinces, villages, cities and nations and in them I will reveal the good disciple of Jesus

77. People with a strong soul will be those who bring the testimony of my truth. Nothing will be able to stop them on their way, and through them I will give great proofs of my power.

78. In the face of the testimony of love from one of my workers, people of faith will set out, spread my message and go to other countries to bring the light. And they too will conquer hearts and peoples with their faith, love and spiritualization.

79. The struggle will be great, intense, but fruitful, because the earth is fertile at this time Before that it will be shaken so that it will be prepared when the seed comes to it.

80. I say this to you, people, because before you set out with your testimony, you must witness the war of world views, the struggle between religious communities, the struggle between teachings. There will be my justice, and then, in the midst of such great confusion, you will hear those who ask, "Where is the truth? Where is the light?"

81. These fearful questions will mark the right time for your coming, O people.

82. You will come full of humility and knowledge to answer every question, full of confidence in the victory of truth, thinking not of the salvation of your lives, nor of the salvation of critical moments, but of the hearts which my teaching wins through your words and works of love.

83. Do not fear for your life, disciples, because I must tell you that in this time it will not be your life or your blood with which you give mankind the best testimony of my truth.

84. Times pass, habits change, people evolve: today they will demand love, sincerity and helpfulness from you as proofs to believe in the truth of the teaching you are going to preach.

85. The times in which the proclaimed word is believed only through the sacrifice of life or the sealing with blood are over. Therefore I tell you that instead of preparing yourselves to die as victims of those who persecute you, you should prepare yourselves to bear witness to the truth with your life in works, words and examples.

86. For a long time already, this people has been walking under my divine mercy, animated by the essence of my word, step by step along the path But when the Master saw that his disciples could not yet be Masters, he hid them from prying eyes with his cloak of mercy and said to them, "Gather around me, learn my lesson, that you may lay aside your faults. Allow your feelings to refine and purify themselves here, near my Father Heart, then you will be able to love your fellow men in a pure way.

87. Yes, people, do not let it be the world that corrects or awakens you. For when men become judges, they are cruel, inhuman, and unyielding.

88. There is no mercy and compassion among men. What kind of justice can you expect from your fellow men? You have no choice but to prepare yourselves in truth and in Spirit and to trust in me, your Lord, with whom there is mercy and therefore justice.

89. See how I prepare you for the time after my rallies through the mind of man, because then you will move on your own feet toward the full realization of the Third Age. Then you will approach the perfect dialogue between my Spirit and yours ─ a dialogue that mankind has never attained. It will not be the voice that Moses heard on the mountain ─ a materially audible voice in the roar of thunder. Nor will it be the human voice that men heard through Jesus, nor the form you have today by hearing Me through a man in rapture. For it too will soon pass away, just as those forms or means passed away which the Lord used at other times to speak to his children.

90. Now the direct dialogue with your Father is coming towards you, when your spirit soul has learned to free itself from its body, when it knows the divine language and interprets it correctly, when its heart is truly a sanctuary, in which the pure, simple, and high reverence for God exists.

91. People: This grace to enter into contact with me from Spirit to Spirit will not only be granted to you. You must understand that it is an ability that belongs to the spirit soul, which, when unfolded, brings man closer to God by connecting him with the spiritual. Today, this connection still seems difficult or impossible to you. But verily, I tell you, when you have attained the preparation that spiritualization gives, you will experience that this form of contacting the Father and the spiritual world is the simplest and easiest of all that you have exercised.

92. Spirit to Spirit dialogue has a far-reaching, infinite meaning. It is the basis for the unfolding of all your abilities and all your gifts.

93. In you you shall discover the book of eternal wisdom. In prayer you will feel enlightened by great inspirations. Intuition will be a compass in your life, and the healing balm will come directly to your hands from the beyond. All the gifts that have slumbered until now will awaken from their sleep and will blossom in the heart of man. And when spiritualization has then become a reality among you, your hand will be able to be like that of my apostle John; and you will write down in the hour of your inspiration all that the divine voice dictates to you through the Spirit. In this message you will receive all that which the voice bearer in his low expressiveness could not transmit, just as you will feel the clear and luminous prophecy reach your mind to show the way to the generations that will follow those who will usher in the time of spiritualization.

94. When those times come, and you speak to great multitudes, you shall not say that you speak under the inspiration of the HolySpirit. You are to let men discover the truth at the bottom of that inspiration.

95. Remember: When I spoke to the crowds, there was also the one who approached ─ amazed at the wisdom of my words or the righteousness of my works ─ to ask me, "Are you the Son of God, are you the Messiah? To which I only replied: "You have said it.

96. If you study my rallies thoroughly, you will see that it will not stop in 1950, but that it will continue, because the Word of God is eternal and has never ceased to enlighten His children. But this form of rallies by means of a human voice bearer will certainly cease at the hour appointed by my will, to give way to the time when I will make myself known through your Spirit.

97. No one is to say that I will depart, nor believe that the spiritual world, which has made itself known among this people, will then rest because you would be very far from the truth. Know already now and believe in what I tell you, that it will be in the days when you no longer hear this word, that you begin to feel in your inner being the presence of the Master, that you understand the preparation, which you must keep to make yourselves worthy of any grace, and that you seek the way not to remove yourselves from those blessed beings, which are like lighthouses or stars that illuminate your path of life.

98. I promise you that I will give you proofs of my presence at every one of your gatherings whenever you give me proofs of your elevation.

99. Watch, people, because also among you, among this people, those who are not prepared will rise as false prophets ─ those who have not been able to penetrate into the core of my word, and will say that they have dialogue from Spirit to Spirit, and that the Father commands this or the Master commands that, without this being in accordance with the truth.

100. Awake, disciples. None of you who hear these words shall fall into such aberrations, nor shall you allow lies to arise in your midst or vanity to blind anyone. I have taught all to discern the good fruit from the bad, the truth from deceit.

101. Give to your brothers and sisters what you have obtained thanks to your development and your merits. But never try to give anything that you have not yet achieved.

102. I tell you that those who prophesy falsehood, who lie in order to make themselves great among their brothers and sisters or to feel like prophets without being them, will later be exposed by the crowds of people and will have to shed many tears in order to rejoin those who stand up for the truth and love it.

103. I tell you, people, awaken, for dangerous times are coming upon you!

104. You will also be questioned by your fellow men, to whom your worship will seem strange. After they have observed you, they will condemn you because you have no altar, because you have no images or symbols, ceremonies or rites. But do not worry, beloved people. You will speak and say that your worship is spiritual, that you are building the sanctuary or church in your heart, that the offering is all those works that you perform in life, and that your conscience will tell you if they are worthy to offer them to God, and that your prayer is from Spirit to Spirit.

105. If you speak clearly, you will leave your inquirers perplexed, and they will leave you in peace, because they will understand that you have spoken the truth, and that there is no error to attack you

106. Those who defend my teaching in this way will be called "disciples of spiritualism" because they will confirm their words with their works. They will not be of those who affirm a thing and contradict it with their works. I see many who call themselves spiritualists and spend their lives worshipping objects that they call symbols. What will people think of them who discover such a contradiction? I give them time to reflect, to clear up their ritual acts and renew their lives. Some will follow my call, others will be rebellious because their fanaticism has blinded them.

107. I will bless those who turn away from their errors to walk in the way of spiritualization. I will bless those who despise their idols and who, after dancing around the golden calf, give up their materialization and take up the cross of spiritualization.

108. O people, your master tells you Watch over the innocence of your children, pray for the little ones. I do not want these generations to inherit remnants of your former fanaticism. Be their teachers. Remember that their Spirit has not yet revealed his task to the body, because he expects you to bring them first on the way of light. What does the master mean by this?: That you, the parents of the family, have the duty to shape the heart of your children so that it may serve as the foundation for the works of the Spirit.

109. Your tenderness and intelligence to guide them, your wisdom to guide and correct them, your love to ease their sufferings, will be the chisel that shapes and smoothes the moral and intellectual essence of those generations.

110. Your best and most precious inheritance for your children will be that which enables them to form a strong people, a family that is strong, healthy, fraternal and beneficial to all But for this to happen, you must strive to leave them a beautiful example by loving one another.

My peace be with you!
