Teaching 258:
1. You show yourself fearful of me, O people, because my voice of righteousness makes you tremble; but I ask you Is it my justice or an injustice that you fear? If it is my righteousness, know that you must agree to receive divine judgment on your works. If it is an injustice, you are in error, for I could not commit such an injustice.
2. You have as your judge the most implacable, but at the same time the most loving, patient, and understanding Father - a judge who, instead of making your transgressions known or betraying you to your neighbor, calls you individually, speaks to your heart, tests you as necessary, and gives you a new opportunity, whether to finish a work or to make amends for a mistake
3. If in divine justice there were not present the Father's greatest love, if his justice did not have this origin, this humanity would cease to exist, its sin and unceasing transgressions would have exhausted divine patience; but this has not happened. Humanity continues to live, souls continue to incarnate, and at every turn, in every human work, my justice is manifested, which is love and infinite mercy.
4. To grasp the subject matter of which I am speaking to you, men would have to delve into the meaning of my teaching, and so far they are busy with their earthly affairs and aims. But now the hour is coming, in which they are to leave behind for a short time what occupies and enslaves them so much, to raise their gaze to the firmament and ask me inwardly, "My God, what is happening in the world? What has become of our life, and what have we done with it of which we are unaware? This will be the moment of enlightenment that many will now have.
5. Others will be surprised by the word I have given you in this time, which will reach the heart of my messengers, my witnesses and disciples who are you.
6. Men will try to deny the truth of my revelation, but the facts, the proofs, the events will speak and testify for this truth, which will come from the lips of my people as the great message of the "Third Age". And also through scriptures my teaching will spread in the world, because this is a permissible means, which I gave to my messenger from the earliest times. I only want you to watch over my truth and pass it on to the hearts in the purest and simplest way.
7. Disciples, see how the master, who will soon let his word end, gives you in every teaching a teaching of spiritual preparation for your struggle.
8. You come in droves to receive my teaching after you have crossed a vast desert of changing destinies. The reason is that your soul has felt that the time announced for my return has come, that it has heard the divine voice calling it.
9. Multitudes of the sick, the hungry, the thirsty and the weary, who in their longing for the bread of love, the manna of life, are coming here, animated by the light of hope, are now entering the presence of their Creator.
10. Be all welcome! Rest in the shadow of my peace, eat and drink and recover from your sicknesses.
11. If you continue to listen persistently to these words, if you set out to stand in the struggle of life, you will feel your burden become lighter because you have become strong in faith and knowledge.
12. Those who seek with Me only goods or treasures of the world and do not acknowledge the existence of spiritual gifts will experience disappointment and if they stray from the way on which they were called, they will see their hands empty and their heart desolate. They are souls who still love the impure, and I will have to give them another time to develop, to gain experience, and, when they return to my way, to be more ready to receive me.
13. For the one who has come with spiritualization, my presence through this word is a true feast of light, where the best food of the spiritual kingdom is offered to the lust of those who hunger for love, justice, wisdom and peace. These will not be able to depart from my way and will know how to receive the goods of the world on top of it.
14. My work will be the essential in their lives, and the material will be the complement to keep them alive and to fulfill the task that has been entrusted to them.
15. Alas, if you would all understand that the sun of this word will soon be hidden - you would hasten to keep in your hearts something of its value and light. But you are too slow to comprehend, too insubordinate to develop the gift of vision, so that you could already see the proximity of the New Age.
16. Certainly my presence among you in the form in which I have been with you will be only brief, and it is necessary that you live the present and the future, forgetting many customs, beliefs, beliefs, beliefs and actions of your past, which are part of the tremendous burden you carried when you came to hear my word for the first time.
17. I am the savior of souls, I am the defender of your faith and your life. I could not let you fall into the abysses or get lost in the deserts without letting you hear my comforting voice, without letting you see the true light that springs from my Spirit.
18. Will you be content only to hear Me to give peace to your heart, without preparing yourselves to sow My work in the hearts of your fellow men, or to be My disciples?
19. if you desire to please Me by being useful to your neighbour, let them share and make use of the divine teachings I give you every time I adjust myself, so that you may be able to speak of Me, of my laws and teachings, and not be surprised by those who are prepared to fight every new light that appears, even if this light is that of the absolute truth, the wisdom of all times
20. understand that I called you not only to comfort you in your tribulations, but also to teach you to feel the pain of your fellow men and to comfort them in their sufferings
21. If you want to know what you are to do among men, it is enough to consider what I have done among you from the day you first heard my word.
22. I forgave you, received you with infinite mercy and love, let you rest from the toilsome work of the day. I did not bother to judge your social position, your class or your caste. I cleansed the leprosy of your sin and healed your infirmities. I was understanding, forgiving, and benevolent in judging your shortcomings. I brought you back to true life by giving you a love teaching that enables you to save yourselves by saving your neighbors.
23. In these my works, which I have done on each of you, you can find the best example to apply it among the needy in body and soul, who will come to you in droves.
24. When I speak to this people here, I speak to mankind. Your task tomorrow is to turn to the hearts of men and fraternally transmit to them my Word, which will complete the work of salvation.
25. Today you feel that pain has afflicted you, and sometimes you do not realize that you are purifying yourselves through this chalice. How could you speak of Me while you are defiled? How could love flow out of your heart, which expresses itself through feelings of mercy and humanity, if it were full of selfishness?
26. The imperfections of the children of God have caused pain, a pain that has become a teacher to work your hearts and show you the way you have lost My love settles in your heart to remove from it all evil because I want to see you strong, healthy and pure.
27. Hear this voice which is sounding among you in this form, do not tire of hearing it. I have prolonged my rallies with the intention of smoothing out the roughness of your hearts and, if after 1950 I no longer make myself known, to leave you firmly in faith.
28. Men are devoted to their science; their heart and mind are totally occupied by the life they live on earth Therefore, among men, I chose these here through whom I speak, simply and without science. I touched these hearts, and afterwards I penetrated their minds with my light to bring this message of love to my people.
29. This light has illuminated the path of your life, and that is why you have surrendered yourselves to Me. After my parting, I will leave you among mankind so that you may bear witness to my truth and the masters may appear among the disciples preaching the teaching of spiritual love with their works.
30. The joys of the kingdom of heaven are for all. Here on earth you will have a little of that peace and a gleam of eternal life. Be of good will on earth, and my peace shall not be lacking in you.
31. You have seen many pages of the book of life pass by since I give you my word. Each of them has been a perfect teaching. Sometimes it has been the love of the Father that has spoken to you, other times it has been the Master who has put you before his chair, and sometimes it has been the Judge who has stirred you up.
32. You have all received my word, therefore you have all received instructions and assignments in the Spirit to carry them out. Some have begun, others are still waiting for the time to depart, and still others are in preparation. There is not one among you who has not received abilities to develop. But while some of you have already begun to unfold, since I am still making myself known in this form, others will not begin their spiritual unfolding until after the time of my rallies. Rise, however, all of you in these times as one Spirit.
33. You possess gifts to fathom my word, to receive my inspirations and the visions that will announce to you what is to come.
34. Those who have stopped today - those who have received gifts to receive my divine ray, or who should allow the spiritual world to manifest itself through them, and who have not fulfilled their mission, will later set out to fulfill it, although I am already telling them now that the form of transmission must change so that they do not bring confusion to mankind.
35. The day will come when you will be scattered over the world, one in one nation, another in other countries, and yet you will all feel united by the spiritual harmony I have brought you
36. I prepare you that you may love one another and be strong and invincible through this bond For whose sake I have been the loving and patient Master who shows the way to the disciples by his example. Watch over your steps, over your works and even over your words and thoughts. It should not be man who judges your imperfections, it should always be the Master who corrects you through your conscience.
37. It was my will to make myself known through sinful men to give you proofs of my power and my love. Now go to your Father by means of the Spirit to prove to Him that you also love Him. Strive for this goal, arrive at that sublime dialogue from Spirit to Spirit without being satisfied with the first fruits you reap, but only when you have reached perfection. Every man will then have within himself the divine guide who will lead him eternally along the paths destined for those who know how to progress upwards in the desire for the love of their Creator.
38. My light that has become the Word, the life, the trials - everything has the purpose of freeing you from your materialism. Tomorrow, even human science will have spirituality, exaltation, noble goals, and will know how to speak of what it seems to have hidden and what it has not really discovered. For it will not be the intellect that penetrates the secret, but the soul, and this will not occur until it has attained purity. But do not worry, people, that because of the turning to the Spirit and what belongs to it human life and your earthly duties will be neglected, and that your health and your body will suffer consequences through this, which you do not yet suspect today. For when the soul of today's people rises from the filth in which it lives today, it will feel in its body a new power and a hitherto unknown light, which will lead people to create an existence abundant in well-being, wellbeing and health.
39. Why have people sought to approach their souls incessantly with ephemeral and sometimes meaningless ritual acts? You should not deceive the soul, nor the heart, by ritual acts which have no essence or substance of eternal life.
40. It is necessary that this light should soon reach the heart of men. It does not matter that it is initially the cause of disputes or fights. Light and darkness, truth and falsehood, good and evil have always clashed. Just as the shadows of the night fade with the light of the day, so the evil of men will recede before my message of love.
41. In that "second time" my coming as a man was believed by only a few hearts. Nevertheless, mankind later determined the birth of the Redeemer as the beginning of a new age. Likewise in this time the beginning of my rallies to you, that is, my coming as HolySpirit, will be fixed tomorrow as the beginning of a further age.
42. Listen to what Christ tells you, the embodiment of Divine Love.
43. Peace to men of good will, to those who love the truth and sow the seed of love.
44. I am "The Word" who visits men because they could not come to Me. It is my truth which I reveal to them, since the truth is the kingdom into which you all are to enter according to my will.
45. How will you discover the truth if I do not tell you beforehand that many renunciations are necessary for it?
46. To find the truth, it is sometimes necessary to renounce what one possesses, even to renounce oneself.
47. The complacent, the materialist, the indifferent man cannot know the truth unless he breaks down the walls within which he lives. It is necessary that he should overcome his passions and weaknesses in order to see my light face to face.
48. A materialist loves only human life. But since he realizes that everything in him is transitory, he is anxious to live it intensely. Then, if his plans or his desires do not come true, or if pain in any way afflicts him, he despairs and blasphemes; he challenges fate and blames it on not receiving the benefits to which he believes he is entitled.
49. They are weak souls in indomitable bodies, they are morally immature beings who are tested in many ways to make them understand the false esteem which they attach in their materialization to works of little merit.
50. How much the materialized would like to change their fate! How they long for everything to be done according to their ideas and their will.
51. One can obtain from God all that one desires in good things, without the need to challenge his justice or mistrust his power. My love is ready to listen to anyone who wants to improve his existence.
52. I tell you once more: Peace to men of good will who love the truth, for they do something to bow to the divine will. And those who place themselves under my protection must inevitably feel my presence - both in their souls and in their human lives, in their struggles, in their needs, in their trials.
53. Men of good will are children who obey the law of their Father. They walk on the right path, and when they suffer greatly, they lift up their soul to Me in their desire for forgiveness and peace. They know that pain is often necessary, and therefore they bear it with patience. Only when it becomes unbearable do they ask that the burden of their cross be lightened for them. "Lord," they tell me, "I know that my soul needs purification, suffering, to develop upward. You know better than I what I need. You cannot give me anything that I do not need. Thy will be done on me, therefore." Blessed are those who think and pray in this way, for they seek the example of their Master to apply it to the trials of their lives.
54. It is right that every pain, that every suffering renews the heart, shakes the soul and cleanses it from its stains, giving it the opportunity to grow and develop upwards.
55. How much good does the pain in the soul do when this cup is drunk with love and patience!
56. Far has the trial way been for your soul. You are like the thousand-year-old trees that lose their dry leaves in the storm of the winds that whip them and make them bare, so that they may later cover themselves with new leaves. Thus the tree fulfills the will of the Father. Likewise, you should all fulfill it by allowing the trials and lessons your Father gives you during your life to free you from the old clothes, the uncleanness and rags of the soul, so that you may clothe yourselves with new festive garments.
57. Know, disciples, that pain removes the bad fruits from your heart, gives you experience and causes your errors to be corrected.
58. In this way your Father tests you, that it may become light in your mind. But if you do not understand and suffer fruitlessly because you do not discover the meaning of my wise lessons, your pain is pointless and you do not evaluate the lesson.
59. At this time I have explained to you the meaning of life, in which you are to know the reason for your pain, what expiation and reparation means, and why you must purify yourselves. When my people understand and feel my teaching, the foundations of a new humanity will be laid.
60. Has pain sometimes shaken you? Have your branches been bent, have the dry leaves become loose, and have the bad fruits fallen from your tree? I tell you that the good that your soul has acquired is incomparably more valuable than that which is most cherished in the world.
61. I give you examples which you can observe daily in nature, like that of the tree when it is whipped by the storm wind. For the material nature is a manifestation of the divine nature, which is why you can find in everything that surrounds you in this life a teaching or a revelation for your Spirit.
62. Just as your body, in order to live, craves for air, sun, water, and bread, so does the soul need the environment, the light, and the food that is proper to its nature. When it sees itself deprived of the freedom to soar up in the desire for its food, it becomes weak, withers and becomes dull; just as if you forced a child to always remain in its cradle and be locked up in its chamber. Its limbs would become lame, it would turn pale, its senses would become dulled and its abilities would wither away.
63. Recognize that the soul can also be a lame one! I could even tell you that the world is full of mentally lame, blind, deaf and sick people! The soul that lives imprisoned and without freedom to develop is a being that does not grow - neither in wisdom nor in strength nor in virtue.
64. Do not wait for wild storms to cleanse you from impurities, for you may also await the coming of the seasons to renew you in them, to purify you and make you blossom.
65. There are many things you must learn in this world so that you can reach other, higher worlds of life.
66. Learn, think, understand how to fight, suffer and hope. Love always and have trust. Be men of faith and good will, and you will be great souls.
67. If you desire to seek my presence in the nature that surrounds you, do so I know that you will discover me in everything because I am in all and in every one of my works.
68. See how I manifest myself through these men in whom I hide myself for a short time to let my divine word flow from their lips When will you see Me beyond that which belongs to this world? When will you hear Me through your spiritual senses, without the necessity of a human tool?
69. The eternal teaching word of God resounds continually because He is "The Word. But only the enlightened men hear it directly, that is, from Spirit to Spirit.
70. Once you will be in direct communication with the divine and with the human, once you will attain harmony of your being, you will hear the song in which the angel and man, heaven and world, the hereafter and the earth, Spirit and matter, are united. All will unite in a hymn of love to the Divine Being, who gave life to his works and made them his children. In this hymn of praise you will unite, disciples, because for this purpose I have come to men anew.
71. It is necessary that you enter your inner sanctuary - that which was not built by the hand of man but by the divine mind I tell you that there you will get to know the revelation of truth, there you will understand the essence of the Eternal, so that you love it more than anything transitory.
72. What is your body? A perishable little bird whose flight is only of short duration - a bird that unconsciously sings of its soon-to-be-forgotten disappearance. A miserable body, which in its egoism demands and demands much for itself. The soul, on the other hand, is the bird invisible to the world, but pure and luminous, rising higher and higher in the course of time. It is the being for which there are no ages, years or centuries.
73. You know on what day, in what hour, and in what year you were born. But do you know, for instance, when you rose spiritually to life?
74. Lift up the soul, it is the essence of your life, it is your purpose and the purpose for which you were created. Rise up, for thus you will come to Me. I have much to give you, much more than what you have found in the world.
75. Love must finally conquer you, and through love you will recognize Me.
My peace be
with you!
