Teaching 242:

1. In this time when the pain of mankind is severe and its way is painful, it has been my will to approach you to help you discover your heritage.

2. Turn back your face and contemplate the way you have left behind, which some are afraid of It is these very paths that I will make you go back. But not so that you may defile yourselves there, but so that you may save those who have gone astray.

3. Use my presence among you, disciples, so that you may carry my peace in your soul and make it perceptible to your fellow men.

4. My teaching in this third time will pull you out of your spiritual stagnation and make you take great and firm steps in the spiritual path.

5.  I granted you the grace that my rallies be through your own minds, that you may feel yourselves worthy of my divinity, that in the knowledge that you were able to transmit my word, and that great multitudes were gathered around the same, tomorrow, when this voice is no longer heard, your heart will not despair in the face of the battle, knowing that my word remains imprinted in your being.

6. Keep the seed that I am entrusting to you at this time. Recognize that I never disinherit a child, but that this child disinherits itself little by little through its bad works.

7. When men knock at your door in the desire for explanations and testimonies, do not hide yourselves or ask, "What shall I do? What shall I answer?"

8. You shall speak of me with a calm mind and a firm voice, and defend my name with the weapons I have given you, which are mercy, love, truthfulness.

9. This is why I stayed with you and made myself known for a long time, so that my manifold teachings may enlighten you and my miracles may ignite your faith The meaning of my Word has made you forget your former religious fanaticism, and when you are explored by men, they will find with you only the simplicity of true spiritual worship.

10. My word pours forth in torrents in the various places of assembly where it is heard, so that you may not feel without teaching in the times of greatest struggle and most severe trials. But already the time is drawing near when my word can no longer be heard among you.

11. Fear not to be without this grace. Remember that I have been preparing you for Spirit to Spirit dialogue since the first time.

12. Every epoch has been a new lesson for your Spirit and a further step on the path of development.

13. I give my message of peace to the world by letting my voice be heard through many voices. And as at all times, my teaching must perfect your souls.

14. If man had no soul and was a completely material being, his task and destiny would end with the last breath of life. But there is something in him that is imperishable, which is why he will fight, "awake" and turn his gaze to the eternal.

15. My word prepares you to live in the world of tomorrow, in that time when my message will gradually be understood. Then you will find that I anticipated the events that I had announced to you long before.

16. My teaching will fight and cause true battles in the hearts of men. While these insist on leading a selfish existence, it will make them understand that where there is no mercy and love, there can be no peace.

17. My spiritual teachings are not only for those who live oppressed in poverty and humiliation. They also have the task of bringing the souls and minds of those who lead and rule mankind in the various fields. My word makes a call to noble sentiments that embraces all men, for in this way you will understand the higher destiny that exists in each of you.

18. Instead of hatred, selfishness, and pessimism in the heart, men will have the desire to do good and will nourish the hope for the victory of justice. Spiritualization would spread more and more, and you would love each other as brothers and sisters, forming a powerful force in the face of which all situations that lead you to war would dissolve into nothing.

19. I do not punish you, but I am justice, and as such I make it perceptible in everyone who violates my commandments. For the Eternal One has let you know his law, which no one can change.

20. see how man, in a severe trial - when he falls into an immeasurably deep abyss, when he sees his wife weeping at the loss of relatives, the children without food, and the home sunk in misery and grief - laments, is dismayed in the face of his misfortune, despairing and, instead of praying and repenting of his guilt, rebelling against me, saying, "How is it possible that God punishes me in such a way? ", while the Divine Spirit cries likewise for the pain of his children, and his tears are blood of love, forgiveness and life.

21. Verily I tell you, because of the development that mankind has reached, the improvement of its situation does not depend only on my mercy. It is a victim of itself, not of my punishment. For my law and my light shine in every Spirit.

My justice comes down to pull up every weed by its root, and even the forces of nature reveal themselves as executors of this justice. Then it seems as if everything conspires to uproot man, although it is done only for his purification. But some get confused and say, "If we have to suffer so much pain - why do we come into this world at all?", without considering that the pain and sin do not come from me. Man is responsible for remaining in ignorance of what justice is and what atonement is. Hence, first his rebellion and then his blasphemy. Only he who has studied my teaching and obeys my law is no longer able to throw blame on his Father.

22. The spiritual soul is a spark that sprang from the Divine Spirit and is put to the test by means of various earth bodies. Because of the development you have already achieved, it is possible that my spiritual message will reach it directly and be understood at this time. Since everything is perfecting itself, it is only natural that you also develop. How is it possible that you continue to imagine your God in such a limited way as your ancestors understood Him? You will no longer be able to live and think like those who functioned according to the rites and regulations they were obliged to follow. You can no longer consider yourselves too immature to deal with what is spiritual like them.

23. Though men once sought to find their salvation through the establishment of material churches and to achieve the purification of their souls through the practice of outward forms of worship, you shall no longer remain in that standstill of fanaticism and ignorance. For then the faculties you possess to comprehend and see the greatness of your God would slacken in your being.

24. I have told you: Concentrate on the innermost part of your heart so that you may see the infinite and unfathomable - not with the eyes of the body, but with those of the Spirit. Then, in view of the so great grace you have received from my mercy, you will no longer feel the need to show your gratitude through material offerings.

25. Your feelings and works of love will be your best and most precious offering.

26. If ye desire to attain the kingdom of heaven, make a book described with your good works. Then you will be the only ones responsible for yourselves, and you will no longer transfer your responsibility to others.

27. After I have shown you the way, which is the same as the one I showed you in past times, and which is a firm foundation for your future, you must be careful not to make new laws or commandments which might appear as new teachings, for they would remove men from the meaning of my word.

28. I do not fight any religious community, each of them is responsible for itself. I show only that which is perfect. He who wants to perfect himself shall follow me.

29. I shed my blood to teach you to gain salvation. The hour is drawing near, in which you too, in the hour of trial, will recognize how right the words of Jesus were.

30. My light is revealed in the Spirit of the multitudes gathered in the shadow of these simple and insignificant places of gathering, which are like a tree to the weary wayfarer and an oasis to the one crossing the desert It illuminates and comforts them.

31. In the love with which I forgive you and correct you, I make myself known. when you lived according to your will, constantly hurting the Father, I did not cut the thread of that sinful existence, I did not deny you air or bread; I did not leave you in pain, nor did I ignore your lament. And nature continued to surround you with her fertility, her light and her blessings. So I give myself to men to recognize and reveal myself to them. Nobody can love you on earth with this love, and nobody can forgive you as I do.

32. Your soul is a seed, which I nurture and perfect from eternity until it bears the most beautiful blossoms and the most perfect fruits How could I let you die or leave you to the violence of the storms?

33. How could I abandon you on your way, when I am the only one who knows the destiny of all creatures?

34. I reveal many things to you, so that you may learn on your way to hear the lamentation that does not come from your lips, to discover the sadness that is hidden behind a smile, and to cure the diseases that do not find relief through science

35. Today, as those in need cross your path, put into them some of what you have received. But do not waste time, lest the chime of eternity, which calls you into the "spiritual valley," surprise you. For you would bitterly regret the missed opportunity.

36. Work out peace for your soul already now.

37. Disciples, my word has often been judging among you. But in its core you have discovered the sweet taste of the fruit that has lifted you up to renewal in this time.

38. I have severely called you to account when you have stubbornly persisted in sin. But soon you have discovered your father's purpose, which is to save you. And so the stubbornness of the "flesh" has gradually given way to spiritualization.

39. Of the love with which I have given you life, men give few proofs or signs. Of all human feelings, that which most resembles Divine Love is maternal love, for in it there is selflessness, self-denial, and the desire to make the child happy, even if it means sacrifice.

40. But love will again flow from the hearts, which will transform the world. This love inspires my HolySpirit, who will send down his rays upon humanity to awaken it from its deep sleep, so that it may enjoy with alert senses this new day awakening.

41. Anyone who wants to follow Me at this time will have to give up something to follow my trail. Some will leave possessions, others will forget false love relationships. Some will descend from their high residences and thrones, while others will leave their altars.

42. Passions will remain, vanities, fleeting and senseless pleasures.

43. I come in desire for your soul, to which I give my love to save it. I have not opened the gates of the Promised Land so that your body may enter into it. That shining white city is the home, which like a new garment with the most beautiful festive garments awaits the arrival of the one announced, who has won it by his merits and his victories in the great battles of life, and this is your Spirit.

44. I teach you how to acquire the necessary merits to reach the eternal homeland. I have taught you to pray for the world with that deep and simple prayer that rises to Me like the scent of flowers. I have given you abilities and spiritual gifts so that you may exercise mercy in many ways. I have equipped you with spiritual and moral strength to live with joyful courage and to pass the tests. I have strengthened you in your resolutions for renewal and improvement so that you may feel the happiness of calling yourselves my disciples and the satisfaction of spreading my teaching by your example.

45. Your soul has prepared itself to receive my presence. I see that the more time passes, the less you are occupied with earthly life and the more you are interested in your spiritual future.

46. You now see the sufferings and misfortunes you encounter on your way as small stumbling blocks that hurt your feet only slightly, and not as decisive obstacles that stop you from going on. Today you are saving the sobs and tears for the great crises of life.

47. My mercy guides you, and you are becoming more and more understanding. You are no longer those who were content to refresh yourselves while you heard my word, without retaining anything of it, and who were attentive only when they asked the Lord for material goods.

48. Now you come as real disciples in desire for the Master, and as such you find Me. If I told you earlier, "I am the Way," I can tell you today, "I am the ladder of heaven on which you will ascend to Me. For now, in my light, you have found the way to ascend, to approach me, and to speak spiritually to the Master by means of prayer.

49. You now find me in yourselves, in the place where I have always dwelt since you exist. You have looked inside yourselves and have discovered a sanctuary containing an altar of love, an offering of humility and a lampstand whose flame does not extinguish the most violent storms: faith.

50. Your soul has been a messenger and a bearer of spiritual missions. From the beginning of time it was destined to save and bless its neighbor.

51. For her the time is over in which she created the image of her God, to feel him attainable and near, to touch him, to look at him and speak to him.

52. For a long time you have turned your backs on those images, figures and symbols because you have understood that you carry within yourselves the real image of the Creator, since you possess something of each of the abilities and qualities of divinity, such as Life, Love, Spirit, Will, Reason, Power, Spiritual Eternity.

53. In this time I will be understood and loved by your soul; I will also be taken as an example. My light now reveals everything that was unclear and incomprehensible to men.

54. I have spoken to you through your minds, whereby the light of my divine radiation was transmitted in human words. But know that when the voice bearer and the crowd of listeners have prepared themselves to receive me, I have revealed myself in divine essence. But when my children did not know how to rise, nor prepared the sanctuary for me, the divine ray remained hovering over the souls without penetrating them completely.

55. I will still reveal and teach you many things in these last times My legacy will be great. There is still much of what is destined for everyone in my secret treasury. Not all of you will attain the same degree of understanding, even if you belong to the number of the marked, because some are on a higher level than others. Since you understand this, try not to push anyone. Be kind and accommodating and help everyone in their mission.

56. You are currently preparing yourselves for the trials that will come in unforeseen forms. You have had a hint of what these will be in a symbolic way through prophetic dreams and spiritual visions. Watch and pray, for I will forewarn you.

57. You feel unworthy and immature in the face of my work and your own destiny. But truly, I tell you, all the roughness of your imperfections will be smoothed out by the chisel of those trials I announce to you.

58. Everything will speak of Me, and I will speak to you through all the phenomena of nature. The calls which were not heard before will be heard and understood. All creation will be in turmoil, will tremble and be shaken to bear witness that Divine Justice is present in the universe. But after they have been judged, men will return to their accustomed ways, but they will have to take a step toward perfection. It will be the awakening and rebirth of this humanity.

59. The light of virtue will be able to shine in this world without anyone putting it out. Reason will prevail, and love will no longer be just a word, but will become action. Lords and servants will gradually disappear. All over the earth I will have my disciples, and they will be light, peace and revelation to the nations.

60. This world, which has become a bone of contention through human striving for power and human egoism, will eventually be shared by all without being its owners. For if the owner of all created things recalls you, you will willingly leave all your goods behind.

61. Mankind is now preparing for these times of light to come. If you find yourselves in a difficult trial, do not despair and certainly do not blaspheme. Pray, "watch" and persevere. Blasphemy, curses and curses will come out of the mouth of the ignorant, whom you shall forgive and whom you shall teach to rise. When then, in the midst of men's despair, silence comes in, you will speak and be heard. Then you will experience how those who have distanced themselves so far from me and reviled me will find forgiveness as a result of their repentance, like the Prodigal Son of the parable. But then you should not be surprised when you see that instead of punishment, forgiveness and caress were given to them. Rather, you will weep with joy when you see the festival of peace and love in the world.

62. When the Temple of the HolySpirit rises up from the heart of mankind to infinity, new revelations will appear in their midst, and the more souls will be developed upward, the greater will be their revelations.

63. Now I am trying to unite all who hear Me in the various places of assembly. You are not united because you have not understood Me. As soon as this happens, you will love one another, and when you love one another, you will beat as one heart.

64. The lack of understanding comes from the fact that your comprehension is superficial and weak, and you are always busy with the goods of the earth You are content with the first thing you acquire, that is, a little rest in your heart, a solid roof, a little physical health, the warmth of your loved ones, and a handful of money.

65. I do not tell you to spurn the goods of the earth, but neither do I tell you to prefer them to the gifts of the HolySpirit.

66. Seek in my way the upward development of your soul, but avoid earthly flatteries and honors. Know that among you not names but the works of the people as a whole are to be emphasized. The memory of him who sowed a good seed should be respected, blessed, and his example should serve as an example. This shall be his only memorial on earth.

My peace be with you!
