to Monsignor Michelini
~ mystic and exorcist ~
Monsignor Ottavio Michelini was born in Mirandola, in the province of Modena. After serving in the diocese of Carpi, he retired and dedicated himself to the work of chaplain in the association of people with disabilities in Modena. In the 1970s, he joined the Movement of Mary’s Priesthood, when Don Gobbi’s work was still in its infancy. Beginning in 1975, for the last four years of his life, he received messages (which he wrote under dictation) and visions of Jesus and Our Lady. These messages were then published in a series of six volumes entitled “Jesus’ Confessions to a Priest.” In his messages, Jesus condemns the seriousness of the spiritual and moral situation in which today’s world finds itself, the confusion and rebellion in the Church, highlights the deficiencies in the current pastoral ministry, and explains that many of these problems are a direct consequence of the deep crisis of faith that permeates the Church today. The Lord also announced to Monsignor Michelini a future “purification” followed by “a new springtime of peace and justice for humanity and for the Church”, “a shining dawn never known before”. Monsignor Ottavio Michelini died on October 15, 1979

Introduction
Why did God choose me? Who am I? I am less than an invisible drop compared to the ocean. I am less than a vile worm that creeps in the mud of the earth. I am a poor priest, the least educated among many, the least learned, the most unprepared, a poor priest, bounteous only in innumerable miseries of all kinds. Why did God choose me? So that it may be understood that I am only a poor instrument in his hands, so that it may be understood by everyone that I am only a pencil transcribing. My very handwriting is a sign of my immeasurable poverty and nothingness. Why did God choose me? To confound the pride, inflated with pride in their knowledge, who have filled the Church with error and heresies, poisoning souls. Yes, foolishness, errors, heresies about God, about the Church, about the Blessed Virgin, about revelation. God is infinitely simple, and he wants us to be simple and humble. “Amen, amen I say to you: if you do not humble yourselves as one of these little ones, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” It is possible to transform the most simple things into things more complicated, even coining new words, new phrases, to demonstrate one’s knowledge and attract to oneself the attention of others. I consider this short introduction useful, if not necessary, so that the reader, and I, the instrument, may establish a spiritual contact with each other.
May this contact, wrapped in the designs of the Love of divine providence, facilitate the realization of the Divine Will.
– Msgr. Octavio Michelini
1 ~ I WANT THEM ALIVE
May 5, 1975 ~
§1 ~ I want them alive ~
Jesus: «My son, I am not satisfied with the little less than formal attachment of many of My priests. Son, from My priests I desire an active participation in My Redemption. I want My priests with Me upon Calvary. Many refuse to follow Me in My sorrowful ascent. I desire My priests to pray and to work with Me in the Eucharist. Some do not even believe in My presence on the altars, others abandon Me and forget Me. Others, new Judases, betrayal Me. I want My priests to build My kingdom in souls, and not to destroy it! I desire love from My priests, for I have loved them infinitely from all eternity. The ‘soul’ of Love is suffering. One loves in the measure, that one suffers, but today many flee from suffering and hence from Love. Son, I desire My priests to be responsible and conscious of their role in the Mystical Body. I desire them alive, vibrating with grace, with faith, with love and hence with suffering. How much time lost, how much good not accomplished, how many obstacles and impediments in My Mystical Body! What waste of the supernatural! For many, many have as their only support a weak faith, a weak hope, and a weak love. My poor priests who go groping about in darkness! I love them. I want their conversion, son.
Therefore, are you surprised if I ask you to suffer for them a little, and pray for them? »
§2 ~ Conscious of their vocation
Msgr. Octavio: «Jesus, help me understand what you desire of us priests. » Jesus: «I have already told you. I desire you conscious of your vocation. I have chosen you with a special love and predilection. I want My priests conscious of their participation in My sacrifice, not symbolic but real. This demands union and fusion of their suffering with Mine, not mere external formalism, but immersion in a stupendous and tremendous reality! The priest should unite himself to Me in the offering of Myself to the Father. What kind of Mass is that of the priest who lacks this consciousness and conviction? Reflect, My son, on the dignity, grandeur, and power I have given to My priests: the power of changing bread and wine into Myself, into My Body, into My Blood and into My entire being. In their hands, each day, the miracle of the Incarnation is repeated. I have established them as the depositaries and dispensers of the divine fruits of the mystery of My Redemption. I have granted them the divine power of remitting or of retaining the sins of men. As I did to My foster father, I have constituted them My guardians upon earth, but what a difference there is for many, between the love with which Saint Joseph protected Me, and their neglect of Me in the tabernacle. Son, I have entrusted to My priests the task of announcing My word, but in what manner do they act in this important task of their priestly ministry? In general, how much sterility usually accompanies preaching. I have entrusted to My priests the task of fighting against the dark forces of hell, but who is diligent in doing it? Who casts out devils? To do this, it is necessary to tend toward sanctity. To be able in like manner, to heal the sick, prayers and mortifications are necessary. My son, I desire My priests to be holy, because they should sanctify. They should not entrust their ministry, to human means, as many of them do. They should not place their trust in creatures, but in My merciful Heart and in the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. Priests are My true ministers but, with the exception of a few, they are not aware of this dignity.
They are My accredited ambassadors for men, for families and for nations. »
§3 ~ They go with the world
«Priests are real participants in My eternal priesthood. The priest is a protagonist in the Mystical Body, of great deeds and supernatural happenings. Priests should be hosts, to be given and immolated for the salvation of their brethren. It is a most grave deformation of religion to think of saving souls by relying on human means and resources, such as intelligence and activity. Every external activity of the priest that lacks faith, love, suffering and prayer, is null, and it is vain. The priesthood is a service. He who serves should be different from the one who is served. He does not identify with the persons served. The priest should be different from the souls confided to him, just as the shepherd is different from his flock. If priests saw the grandeur of their dignity, the sublime supernatural power with which they are clothed (as Saint Francis of Assisi saw these things), they would have for themselves and for their brother priests, great and devoted respect. Son, unfortunately some of them seek themselves, forgetting Me. Many others go with the world, even when knowing that the world is not of God, but of Satan. Some of them betray Me, others demolish My kingdom in souls, sowing errors and heresies. Others are arid, because they lack the vital sap of the soul: ‘love’, whose true character is suffering.
Therefore, you should pray and offer yourself, with intense correspondence to My invitations, to reparation, to penitence, to prayer, so that all My priests may be converted. Yes, so they may be converted, and each one may take his place in the Mystical Body “ad majorem Dei gloriam” (For the greater glory of God) – for the salvation of souls. »
§4 ~ True renewal
Msgr. Octavio: «Lord, what precisely did you mean when You said: “I desire My priests praying and cooperating with Me in the Eucharist…” [Jesus] answered me…» Jesus: «What deed have I done and go on doing in the Sacrifice of the Cross and of the holy Mass? How have I prayed and how have I beseeched the Father? Father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass from Me, however: “Non Mea, sed Tua Voluntas Fiat” (let not My will, but Yours, be done). Do not forget, as many forget, that the sacrifice of the Holy Mass is the true renewal of the Sacrifice of the Cross. In the sacrifice of the Cross My prayer to the Father is united to annihilation, renunciation of My will, total annihilation. It is the entire offering of Myself with an act of infinite love and of infinite suffering. It is the immolation of My own self for souls. The priest who unites himself, and I do desire him to be united to Me in this suffering, participates more than ever in My priesthood.
Never is the priest so much a priest, except when he does this together with Me. »
§5 ~ Waste of the supernatural
«How many Masses are deprived of this vital spirit, of this intimate and fruitful union! The priest witnesses his love for God and for his neighbor, with the most important act of his day, when together with Me, he responsibly annihilates himself in the efficacious offering of his will to the Father, and when he consents to immolate himself for souls , for those same souls for whom I uncomfortably immolate Myself. In sum: The priest by means of the holy Mass, should truly give himself, with Me, to the Father, in order to be given by the Father to souls. This should precede any activity of the Priest. Otherwise, there is waste of time and waste of the supernatural. Otherwise, all its activity becomes sterile at its root. Son, if I showed you the ugly manner in which so many, many holy Masses are celebrated, you would be stupefied, even to the point of dying.
This is what I desire in this respect, and I repeat it to you. I want My priests praying and working as I was and as I am. It is only thus, that they become instruments of true spiritual renewal for themselves and for their brethren.
How many useless activities, My son, because they are deprived of their vital soul and spirit! »
2 ~ REDEMPTION IS COMPLETED
May 9, 1975
§6 ~ Redemption is completed
Msgr. Octavio: «This is, in synthesis, what He told me today: “Propter peccata veniunt adversa.” (Because of sins, adverse events come). » Jesus: «Humanity sinned at its origin in Adam and Eve, and afterwards all men continued sinning. It was necessary to pay and to expiate, and humanity was impotent to expiate its debt.
I, the Word was engrafted onto humanity, with the mystery of the Incarnation. I expiate and offer satisfaction for the fault and for the faults of humanity. My triumph is constituted in the mystery of the cross: “Cum exaltatus fuero a terra omnia traham ad meipsum.” (And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to Myself. –John 12:32). I save, expiate, offer satisfaction, and redeem with an infinite suffering. My triumph springs from insults, from spittle, from the scourging. In this manner I glorify the Father and save souls, I reconcile humanity with the Divinity and triumph over My visible enemies, and above all over My invisible enemies, that is, Satan and his followers. From My side issue forth the mystery of the Church, My Mystical Body, of which I am the head. It is a law of nature that the suffering of an organ is reflected and has repercussions in all the other members of the body, thus the Redemption, begun with My Incarnation and consummated on the Cross, is completed in all the members of the Mystical Body , with suffering, until the end of time.
Your human actions are never merely personal.
Their consequences, whether good or evil, are not only private, but they have repercussions in a positive or negative way, in My entire Mystical Body, of which each one is a member. For this reason, the Christian is never more a Christian than when he suffers, whether he is guilty or innocent, whether on a large or a small scale, because his suffering, in the same way as Mine, Christ’s, is converted into the patrimony of everyone, although always conserving its personal worth. The Christian with his suffering, approaches Me more and more. He approaches closer, and concurs, in order to complete the mystery of Redemption in the Church. And the Church, just as it came forth from My side, triumphs in sorrow, in humiliation and in persecution. »
§7 ~ Spiritual injustices
«Not to want to suffer is a lack of love for God. It is a lack of justice and of love for one’s neighbor, and for the brethren most in need of Divine Mercy.
Social injustices are deplored, and just so, but spiritual injustices are never deplored. Spiritual and much more grievous injustices that are perpetrated with harm for so many souls who are lost, because they preach and witness to luxury and self indulgence instead of My Redemption, because they have rejected suffering with Me, for their salvation. It is a terrible lack of Christian sensibility, that reveals the tremendous crisis of faith, and with faith in crisis, hope and charity are also brought into crisis. Not to want to suffer manifests a lack of justice and of charity toward God and toward the brethren, and the lack of these two virtues that form the support of the entire Christian life. Those who are rebellious to suffering run the risk of eliminating themselves from My Mystical Body.
They risk the danger of making themselves arid, like dry and useless branches, and even more harmful branches, good only to be burned in the fire. There is lacking in Christianity, the vision of the great value of eternal goods, for which they were created and redeemed. Not to want to suffer is a most grave evil of a materialistic society, with which, unfortunately, the clergy and My consecrated religious, have been contaminated. In consequence, this society has smothered the true and authentic Christian life of faith, hope and charity. This society has made souls blind, has made the salt become insipid, and it has put out many lamps, which should have radiated light, and which do not radiate it anymore. »
PERFECT COMMUNION
July 15, 1975
§8 ~ A perfect communion
Msgr. Octavio: «I asked the Lord to help me understand the participation of the Blessed Virgin in the Mystery of the Incarnation, and with great benevolence he obliged…» Jesus: «The participation of My Mother in My Incarnation is a great and sublime mystery.
While she gave Me bodily life, she nourished Me and made Me grow, both before and after My birth. I gave Her My Divine Life [1] in ever greater measure. Therefore, I am as a part of Her, by human nature, and she is as a part of Me as regards to My divine nature. Human nature and divine nature in Me and in Her are fused in a unique, most particular, and sublime way, by which everything that is Mine is also Hers, and everything that is Hers, is also Mine.
Hence it is clear and evident that Her participation in the Mystery of My Incarnation, leads Her to a perfect communion, in which thoughts, affections, joys and sorrows, ‘behave as if’ springing from a single source. Her participation in My infinite suffering is so intense that it cannot be comprehended by the worldly minded. For this same reason, Her love for Me, God, One and Three, and for all men, becomes incomprehensible to the world.
Also incomprehensible to the worldly mind, is the grandeur of My Mother in Her trials, in Her sorrows, and Her grandeur in glory. She lives in Me, and I live in Her. Thus, it is now, thus it was, and thus it will be always. »
[1] Sanctifying grace is participation in the Nature of God, whereby we become His children, heirs of Heaven and members of the Church. Now Mary is “the full of grace,” She is the true Mother of God, She is the Mother of the Church whom She nurtures and grows as She did with Jesus. disapprove, Mary, while remaining as a creature infinitely inferior to God whose most humble handmaiden She is, by Divine Grace and Motherhood, which make Her also Queen of the Universe, participates in the Nature of God in the most profound and sublime Measure. “Fecit mihi magna qui potens est!” (He made me great Who is powerful!).
4 ~ AN OBVIOUS FACT
July 25, 1975
§9 ~ An obvious fact
Msgr. Octavio: «Lord, how does your Mother participate in the Eucharistic Mystery? » Jesus: «The same as in the mystery of the Incarnation. It is one of perfect communion, of Her living of Me, and My living of Her. She, of My Divine Nature, and I, of Her human nature.
I have said that we live in a perfect communion.
Where I am, there she is also. Son, these few words would suffice, to make the grandeur of My and your Mother, more accessible to souls.
By means of Her, I, the eternal Word of God, engrafted Myself onto human nature. By means of Her, the Mystery of Salvation has become a reality. It is a mystery in full development. By means of Her, Satan was conquered, and a man of good will, if he so desires, can be saved. The communion that springs from the mystery of the Incarnation, continues in the Eucharistic mystery, and it will continue eternally. I will always live off Her human nature, and she will always live off My divine nature. This communication is an obvious fact, never to be repeated. It is not found in the communion of Myself with the souls in sanctifying grace, and even in the latter case, it is something that cannot be described in human language, because of its supernatural beauty. »
§10 ~ Enveloped in darkness
«From the relations that flow between God, one and three, and My Mother, sublime, unique and not-to-be-repeated facts are derived:
1. Her Maternity inseparable from Her virginity.
2. Her Immaculate Conception.
3. Her exemption from the corruption of the flesh.
4. Her Assumption to Her royalty above all the thrones of Heaven and of earth. 5. Her power over the very forces of hell, that in the end, She will crush definitively. Men in their presumptuous foolishness do not see the greatness and power of My Mother, who is also their Mother. They have not listened to Her maternal calls. If men would turn to Her, repentant, if they would entreat Her, they could avoid the avalanche that threatens them, and that is already beginning to move.
However, drunk with pleasures and with material goods, they live enveloped in darkness, as if God did not exist, and also as if My Mother did not exist. Men, and many of My ministers also, have not understood the love without limit, or the dimensions of their heavenly Mother, because they did not want to penetrate into it. If they made the effort to reflect and correspond, how many evils to persons and nations would have been avoided! Oh, how serene for everyone would have been their pilgrimage upon earth! »
WITH THE LAMB SHE OFFERED HERSELF
July 28, 1975
§11 ~ With the Lamb, She offered Herself
Msgr. Octavio: «What is the Virgin Mary’s participation in the mystery of the Cross? » Jesus: «The participation of My Mother in the mystery of the Cross is a unique fact in the history of the human race and also in the history of heaven. My Mother, alone among all women, is a true Priest. She, learned in the holy Scriptures, superabundantly illuminated by the Holy Spirit, what follows upon accepting Her divine Maternity. She knew very well what was going to happen to Her. Moreover, even the ancient Simeon said to Her bluntly: “O woman, a sword of sorrowshall pierce your heart.” My Mother kept in Her Heart this tremendous prophecy that was for Her, clear and transparent, and this very prophecy was like a sharp knife that pierced Her Heart during Her whole life.
My Mother was a true priest, and not in the general sense in which to a certain degree, all the faithful are, of those who have been baptized and confirmed. Even less was she priestly, in the ministerial sense, but far excelling in the priesthood, in a different and more profound way those who have received the sacrament of holy orders. My Mother was and is a true priest insofar as, upon the summit of Calvary, She offered to the Father that which She loved the most, the pure and holy Victim, the Lamb of God, Her Son, and along with the Lamb, She offered Herself. My Mother is also a victim for sins, by the virtue of being present, consciously submissive and a participant in My Sacrifice.
She not only endured the suffering, but together with Her divine Son, She was a true protagonist in the drama of Redemption, which is central to the history of the human race. In this double offering, that is renewed in each Mass, consists of the action whereby the priest is truly a priest. In truth, the priest is never truly such, except when, together withMe, he offers both himself and Me to the Father. For this reason, My Mother is a Co-Redemptrix in the most proper and true sense. In order to realize this offering, My Mother had to annihilate Herself totally. The victim is destroyed; the victim is consumed. She had to destroy Her Heart of a Mother, holy and pure, the holiest among all mothers. She was obliged to sacrifice and immolate each one of Her feelings. She was obliged, and desired to repeat Her “Fiat”, and like Me and with Me, She said: “non mea, sed Tua Voluntas fiat” (not my will, but Your Will, be done). Only an ineffable and extraordinary love, only a love without and beyond human dimensions and boundaries, made Her capable of such a great prodigy. My Mother, as priest in the most proper sense, has witness to God and to men the greatest proof of love, that consists not only in sacrificing one’s own life, but also in sacrificing the life of Him who is their most beloved. »
§12 ~ Tremendous surprise
«Men know little and reflect even less, about the little they know. Men and many of My ministers and consecrated souls do not consider that the mystery of the cross is renewed uncleanly. They believe with a weak faith in the sublime reality of the mystery of the cross, which is perpetuated in the holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Priests do not think that together with Me, who am present in the consecrated Host, is My Mother, just like upon Calvary, also offering Herself with Me to the eternal Father for their salvation. Think, My son, what a tremendous surprise it will be one day for many of My ministers to discover that together with Me, and My and their Mother, they were protagonists in these great mysteries, only materially. Reflect upon all the wasted fruits, and upon so many souls not sanctified, because of the shameful blindness of many of My ministers. Reflect upon the continuing sacrileges. My Mother is present and remains in perfect communion with Me. In Her, great things have been realized. What an example My Mother should be for all priests! If My priests could be inspired by this perfect communion that flows between Myself and My Mother, they would continually battle, to annihilate their own ego. If they offered themselves to the Father together with Me, following Me on the cross,instead of following the world, they would experience that My yoke is sweet and My burden light. They would see the tree of My Church, become rich with fruit.
Son, the world is rushing to its ruin like an avalanche. When a landslide begins, its descent is rarely noticed. The first movement is almost imperceptible. Then little by little it increases until it is turned into such a great motion that it drags everything with it. Well then, this avalanche, this landslide, has already begun its movement, and men, like blind cripples, do not notice the destruction toward which they are going. The alarm has been given, the trumpets have sounded, but it is almost useless. Very few have given heed to it, and many have ignored it.
But what most saddens My merciful Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother and yours, is the fact that many priests have ignored the many calls that have come from Heaven.
Tremendous responsibility! To pray, to make reparation, to offer! It is urgent to say and to proclaim. But it is even more urgent to do. » ‘
THE SACERDOTAL DIGNITY
July 29, 1975
§13 ~ The Sacerdotal dignity
Jesus: «Son, the priest belongs to Me; all creatures belong to Me, all men belong to Me, but the priest belongs to Me in a very particular and different way. My son:
1. You belong to Me by Creation; in consecration, over and above conservation. 2. You belong to Me by virtue of Redemption.
3. You belong to Me by Vocation.
You belong to Me by Reconquest. Thus, it is truly. Therefore, you are My property. You fulfill the purpose of creation, the purpose of redemption, and the purpose of your vocation, only in one way: Adhering scrupulously to My Will. For this purpose, I have called you. You have not chosen Me, I have chosen you. I have chosen you to make of you a minister of Mine, that is to say, to make of you another Christ, and it is not merely a manner of speaking or of talking, no, it is a tremendousreality: “Sacerdos Alter Christus.” (The priest is another Christ).
Only the saints have had the correct vision of sacerdotal grandeur. Many of My ministers are very far from living this divine reality. They do not have the luminous vision of the mystery of which they are a part. My ministers should be responsible and conscious of their sacred dignity, realizing it all their aspirations and energies, all their fatigues and sufferings, day, and night. In like manner, all holy priests have done so, and all priests should be HOLY. For this purpose, I have chosen them to be sanctified, and then to sanctify, to give themselves, donate themselves entirely to Me, for they belong to Me.
They belong to Me by so many titles, that I can give them, donate them without reserve, to their brethren. But what have so many ministers of Minedone?They occupy themselves and care for their own interests, often with a mask, but they are always their own interests, and not Mine, which are those of souls. They thirst and hunger after worldly things. I have said that they care for their interests, but it would be better to define them as pseudo-interests for their true interest should be one alone: Me, their GOD, My glory alone, and the salvation of souls. All the rest is of no value.
They wander, disorientated, in obscurity and darkness to such an extent, that they do not even recognize themselves. They no longer know who they are. They do not know where they go, and logically, they are in no position to open a way for the betterment of souls. No, souls are not saved in beach resorts, orstadiums, where Satan rules, sharing immodesty and obsessions with the children of darkness. Souls are not saved by reading or surveying all kinds of information that poisons and infects the soul and spirit. Souls are not saved, even by belligerent demonstrations in the name of faith. These end up by becoming petrified in materialism and illiterate in all things heavenly. »
§14 ~ Formidable inversion and change
«How distant are My ministers from the central propeller of grace, My merciful Heart. How much I suffered for Judas. He became hardened to My love. Yes, I suffered much over Judas, but much more for the fate of his soul, than from his betrayal. How much suffering for so many priests of Mine who betray the divine command, corrupting themselves and so many souls. My son, a priest is not saved alone, nor is he lost alone; working for the salvation of a priest, one works for the salvation of many other souls. What a tremendous and formidable inversion of a stupendous divine reality!
1. From an “Alter Christus” (Other Christ), to a ravenous wolf who scatters the flock.
2. From an angel of light to an angel of darkness.
3. From a minister and ambassador of God to a traitor of the purpose of Creation, Redemption and of his vocation.
And what of My word: I will not call you servants any longer, but friends? To change from being the friends of God, to being collaborators with Satan, in snatching souls from My merciful Heart. Is this not the greatest evil that a man and even more – a Minister of Mine – can perform? »
§15 ~ Necessary disposition
«Why have they arrived at such a degradation?
My son, little by little they forsake the fountain of Light, and they withdraw into the shadows, then confusion dominates them. Little by little they forsake the fountain of warmth, My Eucharistic love, and first coldness, then indifference and insensibility to My every call spread over their soul. It is necessary to unite oneself to Me, son, always more intimately and profoundly, without ceasing, as My Mother was and is united to Me in her offering.
Therefore, it should not surprise you when I ask insistently for: an act of faith, an act of hope, an act of love and of abandonment, for these will compensate Me for the offenses, injuries, and sacrileges that they give Me continuously. I desire to imbue the souls that I love, with the infinite power and violence of My love. I desire to bind and to raise these souls to Myself. Therefore, I ask them to give themselves, surrender themselves to Me totally, so that My Will may be operative, efficacious in them, according to the example of My Mother and yours also. I want these souls to tend to Me day and night, in a union that should be transformed into a continuous and perfect communion. This occurs when love for Me is true, great, and ardent. Then tending toward Me with acts of faith, of hope, of confidence and of offering, will become like a second nature, connatural, an essential necessity, as it is for a lover to tend toward the object loved. In Truth, one who lets himself be formed by My grace, cannot live without Me, just as one cannot live without breathing. Son, this is what I ask. Do not forget that I am Love, eternal, uncreated Love, that from all eternity I am inclined toward you. I have the right to be loved by you, for I am Love.
Through Love I have created you. Through Love I have redeemed you. Through Love I have chosen you, and through Love I have reconquered you. »
REJECTION BY GOD
August 8, 1975
§16 ~ The rejection of God
Jesus: «The entire history of the human race could be summarized in two events:
1.The first is the creation of man and his rejection of God.
This rejection of God constitutes a formidable catastrophe of colossal proportions, the destructive consequences of which will continue without cessation during the course of centuries until the end of time. Men who are enveloped in the obscure and mysterious power of hell, materialistic as they have become, no longer have any real perception of this enormous tragedy that has overthrown and upset human nature, wounding it mortally, weakening it and depriving it of the marvelous gifts with which it was created. Men no longer have awareness of the immense tragedy of which they are the object and the victims, and in which they are involved both personally and socially. Wars and revolutions, epidemics, earthquakes and landslides, cataclysms, pains, sufferings have their origin here, and what are all these happenings compared to the tragic reality in which the entire human race was, in all important respects, eternally lost?
2. The second event in which the entire history of the human race is summarized, is the mystery of the Incarnation, Death and Resurrection of the Word: the work of the divine Trinity, and desired by it, as an efficacious solution to the first event, with the intention of limiting and circumscribing the destructive work of Satan, and as its counter-measure, for the rescue of humanity, and its delivery from the tyranny of the Evil One. Only God could perform such a work as that of Redemption. The monstrosity of this perverse generation lies in ignoring and desiring to ignore the prodigious mystery of salvation, by means of which the infinite love of God for humanity is also made visible. My son, could I perchance give a greater testimony to the salvation of men than that given with My Incarnation, Death and Resurrection? Could I give a greater testimony of the continuation of the mystery of the Cross that is realized by means of the Holy Mass? Can there be an event comparable to this one, in all the histories of the people of the earth? Do they need proofs to believe? They don’t look for them. Have I not given them so many?
Eucharistic miracles? How many have I not performed, in times both remote and present?
My son, they don’t want to believe; they are afraid of having to believe. »
§17 ~ A gigantic conflict
«The rejection of God, who is infinite love, is a sin of such gravity that compared to it, all other human affairs and happenings are as nothing.
The cup is full and is overflowing. Only My patience and longanimity, the intercession of My Mother and the prayers and virtues of the good and of the saints, have preserved the course of divine Justice. This generation of materialists has no idea at all about these two great events, which circumscribe and summarize the entire history of the human race, and if some have it, it is very confused, vague, and nebulous. The men of today do not know that they are already at the center of a gigantic conflict, asits objects and victims. All men are involved and included in this tremendous collision between light and darkness, between eternal life and death, between good and evil, between truth and error, between salvation and condemnation.
This perverse generation does not even try to find out what God the Creator, the Incarnate Word and Savior, and the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier, have done and continue to do to withdraw it from eternal ruin and perdition.
Materialistic men have ignored and continue to ignore all the interventions of My Mother and yours also. They have ignored My interventions. They are afraid and ashamed of speaking about them, especially My ministers.
The men of this perverse century reject the limpid and crystalline waters of truth, and in exchange they love to quench their thirst with the putrid waters of corruption, of sensuality, of pleasure, thus losing even the notion of good and of evil, notions that I have placed in human nature. My son, I am disgusted and nauseated. How long will they abuse My patience? This is why I ask of you acts of love and of reparation, and why I ask you to pray. Do not let a single hour nor a day pass, without lifting your soul to Me with acts of faith, of hope and of love, of repentance, of humility and of atonement.
Thus, you will give Me a little joy. Don’t deny to your Jesus this tiny bit of joy. Love Me, My son. I bless you, and with you I bless those for whom you pray. »
FREQUENT ACTS OF LOVE
August 21, 1975
§18 ~ Frequent acts of love
Jesus: «My son, you define yourself as “a little drop of soiled water that falls downward,” but it was not you alone that thought of it. I suggested it to you, so that you may understand better the reality of life. Tell Me, can a little drop of water that falls downward, suddenly change its course to elevate itself toward the heights, by itself alone? No, you see, for this is contrary to the laws of nature. Tell Me, son, can a soul weakened by original sin and by its actual sins that trend downward, suddenly change its course and elevate itself to the heights, only by its own forces? Never, absolutely never. Saint Paul already taught you about thissubject, without My help you cannot even say: “Jesus is the Son of God.” Then, My son, My small drop of soiled water, I desire to free you from all filthiness and uncleanness and make you purer than a ruby. Only in this way can I absorb you, and you can be fused into Me in mystical nuptials, and then form with Me a single entity. This is the reason I ask you to renounce newspapers, magazines, television, and everything. This is the reason I ask you with insistence to make frequent acts of love, of renunciation, of repentance, and of offering. This is why I insist on the formula: To believe, to hope, to love, to trust, to pray, to keep silence, to accept, to suffer, to offer, to adore. Thus, the gifts of faith, hope and charity that I have given you, may develop day after day, hour after hour, thus working out your sanctification. » §19 ~ The fundamental virtue «My son, when you call yourself a “drop of soiled water that falls downward,” you speak a great truth that is transformed into humility, and you know that humility is the foundation of all other virtues. It is the fundamental virtue that is opposed to the fundamental sin, which is pride. The Holy Spirit has said it: “Superbia radix omnium malorum” (Pride is the root of all evils).
A soul soiled by pride will never please Me. The annihilation of one’s own ego, of one’s own will, is the first thing that one must do if he seriously wants to begin to work for his sanctification. How far we are from this work of spiritual labor! So many evils, also in My Church, in My ministers and in consecrated and unconsecrated souls, find their origin in pride. How much blindness! I bless you, My son. Love Me, seek Me day and night and you will always find Me. »
MATERIAL BUILDING
August 24, 1975
§20 ~ They build materially
Jesus: «My son, write:
1. An evil priest is equivalent to a demon that carries souls to perdition, deicide, and homicide.
2. A lukewarm priest, is equal to a thorny bush in dry and sterile soil.
3. A good priest, is equal to a little good.
4. A fervent priest, is equivalent to a flame that illumines, warms, and purifies. 5. A holy priest, is equal to many souls saved and sanctified.
Son, many priests exert themselves and make efforts and build materially. If only all these energies were directed toward the building of My Kingdom in souls, how much good would have been accomplished. On the other hand, how these priests of Mine are solicitous about their works. In reality they are like the fig tree of which the Gospel speaks: leaves, leaves, leaves, and not even one fruit.
You know that it is absurd to think of sanctifying others, without being holy first.
Reflect on everything I did, so that My apostles could be holy, and everything I did and keep doing, so that My priests may be holy. Just a little true faith would suffice to avoid the terrible consequences of the sterile dryness of a priestly soul. This sterility originates in, and is conceived by the lack of faith, of hope and of charity, that is to say; the lack of divine life. »
§21 ~ I desire them saved
«You have seen the multitude of souls detained, even motionless, stagnant like the waters of swamps, because of the blameworthy lack of good and expert confessors. You have seen the stagnation of many consecrated souls, because of the blameworthy lack of holy and skillful spiritual directors. Many of these souls, if they had been well directed, would have arrived at the heights of perfection. What desolation, My son, what desolation!
Those souls did not realize the supreme end of their vocation, because of the blind incapacity of those to whom they were and are entrusted. Why do I speak to you almost exclusively about the evils that affect My Church? The physician occupies himself with the sick part of the body, and not the healthy part. Am I not perchance the divine physician of souls? I have not come to heal the healthy, but the sick. I have not come for the just, but for the sinners, and who is more in need than a priest who is in a crisis of his interior life? I want to save these priests. I love them infinitely. I want their conversion, and I say conversion, because it is a matter of conversion. Son, their souls are in danger. The eternal salvation or condemnation of their souls hangs in the balance. Pray and pray. It is a duty of charity. Offer Me your sufferings and love Me. And bless you. »
THEY SHOULD BE VIGILANT
August 25, 1975
§22 ~ They should keep watch
Jesus: «Have you read the words of the Gospel of this morning that I directed to Peter? “You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” In these last words “the gates of hell will not prevail,” there is a clear indication of the tremendous and colossal battle, the continual collision, and the inevitable confrontation between the powers of good and the obscure and mysterious powers of evil. But if one no longer believes in Me, the eternal Word of God, with what kind of a spirit do they dare to preach in My name? And even if those who have been charged with forming My future priests of tomorrow, do not believe or suffer from frequent doubts; what kind of fruit can one hope for the future to produce? Can an evil tree perchance produce good fruit? How repugnant to My merciful Heart is the vision of the spiritual ruin that is happening in seminaries, in convents, and in religious families. How can one avoid the just wrath of My Father? Oh yes, My son, disintegration is in act, and its desolating descent will be tremendous. When an army is at war, if the officers, instead of keeping watch and doing everything to discover the movements of the enemy, instead, loiter at leisure and entertain themselves with amusements, defeat is inevitable. In My Church the battle is spreading and is expedited on all fronts, and not all the sentinels are watching. Of those who should watch, many are sound asleep.
No use is made of the great powers that I have given to My priests, and unfortunately many of them find themselves in such profound slumber that it is doubtful if they will ever be awake. »
§23~ Satan has made himself the master
«Son, the evidence is not believed, because they live superficially. It would be enough to meditate and reflect a little about what is happening in the Church and in the world, to arrive at the logical conclusion that everything that is happening, is not the result of progress in holiness, but rather caused by the Prince of Darkness and his followers. My multiplied interventions have not been given their due weight. The suggestions of My Mother, in her numerous interventions, have not been listened to duly, indicating to Christians and to priests in particular, the way to neutralize the homicidal action of Satan and his followers with prayer and mortification. The multiple calls of My Vicar have not prevailed, and after hearing them, they became even more materialistic and self-indulgent, speaking hypocritically of renewal. No, son, the only renewal possible is a true, profound, and sincere conversion. Satan has boastfully made himself the master, and many of My ministers, insensibly, do not realize it, or pretend they do not realize it. How much longer will this go on for? How much longer must I tolerate it? Pray, atone. Offer Me your sufferings and love Me, son. You are in My merciful Heart, you, “the little drop of water”, will be absorbed into the infinite ocean of the love of My Heart, lacerated for the salvation of everyone. And bless you. »
FRIENDS AND CO-REDEEMERS
August 26, 1975
§24 ~ Friends and co-redeemers
Jesus: «I told you that all things belong to Me, the visible world, and the invisible world.
Everything and everyone belongs to Me.
Everything has been made by means of Myself, and without Me nothing that exists has been made. But in a very special manner My priests belong to Me. Priests are My co-redeemers, invested with mysterious and supernatural powers, and they should have relationships of great intimacy with Me. ‘I do not call you servants, but friends.’ My son, few are the priests who have understood what this gift of My royal friendship includes and yields. Therefore, few are the priests who are conscious and responsible about the necessary and indispensable solidarity of faith and of love that should flow between Me, Teacher and Savior, and them, My friends, and co-redeemers. Only a few have understood that between Me and them there should be a reciprocal interchange of forces and energies. I give Myself entirely to them. They should give themselves exclusively to Me. If this absolutely essential and indispensable interchange is lacking, you have then, the spiritual death of My ministers, and death means putrefaction that contaminates and causes the loss of souls. It seems that many do not realize the consequences that are derived from it. If the life-giving sap is cut off, My minister, from being My friend and co redeemer, is converted into an ally of Satan. He becomes like a demon and plays the part of a demon. The insensibility of many of My ministers before the scandal of the rejection of God, before the scandal of the universal apostasy, the passivity with which they behold the perdition of so many souls, are for My merciful Heart lacerating wounds that truly wound it. You will tell Me that many are active and in movements, but they do not move in the correct direction. If only they would feel the necessity of asking Me for their conversion, that I do not deny to anyone who asks Me with sentiments of living faith and sincere humility. »
§25 ~ They do not love Me
«It is very true that holy priests are not lacking, but they are few. Good confessors and spiritual directors are needed more than ever. My son, I could make you understand profoundly how many souls there are who are scarcely alive, vegetating like sick plants, and they languish because of a lack of clear spiritual direction.
Even in convents and among consecrated souls, through lack of valid spiritual direction, there are souls who if they had been directed well, would have arrived at the highest levels of sanctity.
“Qui non diligit, manet in morte” (He who does not love, remains in death). Many of My priests are in death, because they do not love, because they have not desired to know Me. Saint John says: “He came unto His own, but His own received Him not”, and the fact that My own beloved souls do not admit Me into their hearts.
This, My son, is an enormous sin. The fact that love is responded to with coldness and with injustice, is a great wound that is incessantly made to My merciful Heart. I was rejected even when I rested on the bosom of My Mother, and I continue to be turned away and rejected by My chosen ministers. Through their dignity and their authority and dominion, I have placed My priests above the angelic legions. I have entrusted Myself to their judgment. I have granted them the divine power of remitting sins, of transubstantiating bread and wine into My Body, into My Blood, Soul and Divinity. Who would ever have thought that My love would stop to such level? My son, love Me great so that you can atone to Me for such monstrous ingratitude. Even more, give your entire self to Me, with all you have and all you are. Make reparation, son, reparation for the innumerable Judasesthat daily betray Me. »
§26 ~ Accept suffering
«My ministers wander in obscurity, and ignorant through their own fault of what awaits them, and what they are going to find. They have not accepted with a conscious responsibility, the numerous interventions of My Mother. Rather with unmistakable clarity, they should make them known and instruct the faithful, but instead of this; their presumption, their pride, their lust for human respect and their incredulity have blinded the faithful. What a hemorrhage of consecrated souls! How many Judases there will be! How much blood, how much blood will be shed! How much time did they not have? How many events did not notice! The Spanish Civil War, the persecution in countries where Communism rules, have not taught them anything, or very little. The crisis of faith has made My priests materialistic to such an extent, that many have already lost the Christian sense of life. How can these My priests, whom I desire saved at any cost, guide souls against Satan, if they themselves have been converted into lures of Satan? They have ignored the repeated calls to attention of My Vicar on earth, and they do not love him. Then, how can they teach souls to love him and to love Me? My son, what desolation! Pray, atone, acceptsuffering for the salvation of these; We ministers. I bless you, My son. Love Me intensely. »
TO BE SILENT AND TO OFFER
August 27, 1975
§27 ~ Keep silent and atone
Jesus: «My son, I repeat for the second time: “Be convinced and do not doubt!” When you pray, when you write what I say, Satan does everything not only to distract you and make you stop these acts, but also to make you impatient, and if possible, to make you proud.
[…] Satan has sinned through pride, and in it he will remain forever. Therefore, we should overcome him with the opposite virtue: humility. This afternoon, if instead of having become impatient, you would have made an act of humility, you would have realized the acts: “To keep silent, to accept, to suffer and to atone,” and you would have conquered Satan, by this mortification of your own“ego”, of your own will. The “ego” is pride, and if Satan were scorned and humiliated, after a little while he would have released his prey; and you were the prey, for he looked toward you, by means of a particular encounter through that person (X.). I said that he would go away humiliated, for there is nothing more that irritates him than an act of humility, and the shame upon seeing himself conquered by a man inferior to him by nature, exasperates and wounds him. How clumsily and coarsely they err who favor and augment these passions of haughtiness and pride, thus favoring Satan in his demolishing and devastating action upon the soul, for they are materialistic and blind, and in the name of “your own personality” that is to say, of your own ego, the prescription of pride, of vanity and presumption, they counsel: “realize yourself,” “you can do it,” “trust in yourself;” “you need more self-assurance, self-esteem, self-respect” and so on. The Prince of lies makes people think that what in reality is weakness; is ‘strength’, and what is strength; is ‘weakness’, and in this way many souls are driven and dragged toward their own ruin. My son, you have touched your dishonesty and frailty with your own hand, and you see the foolishness and silliness of one who lets himself be bound by this snare of pride. And you were not lacking My counsels, you did not lack My examples, nor those of My Mother and of the saints. » §28 ~ The basic virtue «Did I not say: “Learn of Me, for I am meek and humble of heart?” It costs more, and more strength is required, to mortify one’s own ego, one’s own will, than any other thing. Satan sinned through pride. By pride he induced man to sin. Man’s victory is to defeat Satan with the powerful and efficacious weapon of humility.
Humility is the basic and fundamental virtue, without which no spiritual progress can exist.
Without it, the construction of the kingdom of God in souls is impossible. Think, meditate, and reflect how great this virtue is. Satan fears the humble because he is always defeated by them. My son, your Jesus, the infinite ocean of love, is thirsting for love, but men, submerged in the materialistic concept of life, have made themselves incapable of seeing Me and of understanding Me, and therefore incapable of loving Me. Love Me, My son. Do it for the vast numbers of Christians who do not love Me, for so many, many priests that do not love Me, and who have made themselves materialistic professionals of the values of My Redemption.
And bless you. »
LOVE AND HATE
September 9, 1975
§29 ~ Love and hatred
Jesus: «My son, if I am love that by its very nature tends to union, Satan is hatred, hatred born of pride, and which leads to disunity.
From love springs humility. From the rebellion of Lucifer is born hatred. From the day of its origin, humanity knows the love of God, and from the night of its fall, it knows the hatred of Satan. Cain was the first one intoxicated by this hatred and thus he was its first victim. Hatred is vomited forth from its infection and putrid progenitor without ceasing. Woe to the men who do not know how to be careful in respect to this! God saves men of good will with love. Satan leads them to perdition with hatred and division. God transforms man and makes him Christian, that is to say, a child of God, elevating him to His divine nature, “consortes divinae naturae,” (participants of the divine nature). Satan also tends to transform man into a demon of pride, of hatred and of rebellion. Precious fruits of the love of God are faith, hope and charity. From these are derived respect for personal and social freedom, respect for justice that unites and harmonizes men and makes their earthly pilgrimage more serene and desirable. From pride, from hatred and division are born personal and social injustices, slavery, passion that exasperates the spirit of individuals and nations, even to the point of desperation. Fruits of faith, hope and love are peace in consciences, in families and among nations. The just, the saints and the upright men are those who make men civilized. They are the ones who help the arts to flourish, of noble art that does not pervert, but helps man in his ascent toward the conquest of the good, the truth and the beautiful. Fruits of pride, of hatred and of division are violence, wars, the degradation of human nature, corruption in all sectors, the perversion of art into pornography and sensuality. »
§30 ~ In the most profound confusion
«All this, My son, is clear and evident.
Experience, both far and near, confirms it, but men who are intoxicated and obsessed with Satan’s vomit, work contrary to experience.
Now it is as if a curtain of thick clouds covered humanity, which now walks without orientation and groping in the most profound confusion. And the fact that in this confusion also walk and grope many of My priests, with so much harm and danger for the salvation of many souls, is a great joy for the father and progenitor of confusion. You cannot comprehend and compass with your mind the vast amount of evil that My Church is now subjected to. Divisions, resentment, and even hatred. Divisions in parishes, divisions in religious orders and congregations, in convents and public rebellions, wound and lacerate my Mystical Body. A filthy torrent vomited by hell upon the earth in a multitude of heresies, obscenities, scandals, violence, private and public injustices, causes grave damage, even in consecrated souls. Oh, yes! The men of today are not better than the men of the time before the flood. The cities of today are not in the slightest better than those of Sodom and Gomorrah. The many calls and interventions of Myself and of My Mother have not been of any use to this incredulous generation. The many partial punishments have not been of any use.
The men of this century have filled the measure, they have hardened their hearts in iniquity, and the total punishment would already have come, if it were not for the intervention of My Mother, and yours also, interposing herself between divine justice and yourselves and also, if it had not been for the generous and heroic victim souls, that have sacrificed themselves as living lamps before My altars. The inhabitants of the corrupt Nineveh believed. They repented and did penance in the presence of the warnings of the prophet, but the men of this perverse generation that rejects God, will not remain immune to the punishments of divine justice.
“Non praevalebunt.” (They will not prevail).
Yes, the just will see that God is faithful to His promises. They will see how My Father, even in His justice, will make rise forth, His designs of love for the salvation of humanity and of My Church. I bless you, My son. Love Me great and offer Me your sufferings. Remember that My Heart is merciful and inexhaustible in its riches and desires ardently to be able to give them to you. »
IN A SUIT
September 11, 1975
§31 ~ They wear the suit
Jesus: «I want to return to speak of a subject I have already spoken to you about before, and about which it is necessary to meditate often, and afterwards to think about it again. I refer to the renewal of the Holy Sacrifice of the Cross, continued perpetually in the Holy Mass. You know how few the priests are, who approach the altar to realize the thrice-holy action with the proper spirit of faith and of grace. I do not speak now of those who sacrilegiously profane My Body and My Blood, for they are more than a few. I speak of those who vest themselves with their vestments in levity and with the mentality of workers who, before beginning their manual work, put on their overalls, chatting about this and that, and without any thought or recollection, proceed to the celebration of the sacred rite, while their thoughts are about totally alien matters. They arrive at the consecration distracted, far from realizing that in this moment in their hands is repeated the greatest prodigy, and that right now is realized the Incarnation, of the Word of God. “Et verbum caro factum est”(And the Word was made flesh). They do not realize that in their hands at that moment they produce the simultaneous intervention of the most holy Trinity. My Mother, with her Fiat, produced the intervention of the divine Fiat, that is to say, the simultaneous intervention of the most holy Trinity:
1. of the Father, who created in her,My human soul of the eternal Word:
2. of Myself, the eternal Word, I who united Myself to the soul created by the Father,
3. of the Holy Spirit, the efficient cause of My virginal conception in the most pure womb of Mary. From that moment I was true God and true man. In the hands of the celebrating priest, at the moment of the consecration, the mystery of the Incarnation is really renewed. How few are the priests who think about this! Without the co participation and penetration of the sacrificial nature of the Eucharist, it becomes evident why the celebrating priest performs the action which is more holy than all others, just like any worker performs his daily work, thus turning the priest into a simple laborer . This is the prime reason behind all things gone wrong. In his face you will not distinguish any sign of recollection, and thus with this nausing indifference, he arrives at the Communion, obliging Me, Who am the Victim, to suffer the atrocious abandonment of the Crucifixion. »
§32 ~ Love rejected
«My son, this apathetic attitude of My priests wounds My merciful Heart more deeply than the rabid offenses of My prieststhat habitually treat Me like this, for it is love that knocks against a barricade of coldness and indifference. It is love rejected, in spite of all the graces freely given and not merited at all.
And I do not descend to other details, to tell you all the faults of delicacy and attention that they give Me, while they would be very careful in avoiding such, when acknowledging persons of the world who are considered important. But with Me, everything is licit. They see Me and look at Me as a vague and distant historical memory and are guilty of ignoring the living reality in which they have a very important place. Even if they theoretically admit that the holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the same sacrifice of the Cross, they deny it in practice with this behavior, that reveals the total lack of faith, of hope and of love. Son, what an infinite ocean of miseries, of desecrations, of betrayals, and of spiritual darkness! Oh, if all My priests were animated with a living faith and with an ardent love when they hold Me in their hands, what torrents of grace would they not draw from My merciful Heart for themselves and for the souls that they should guide! Why are so many priests of Mine so distant and obstinately resist My continual calls and invitations to conversion? Pride, presumption, vanity, impurity. How many are lost, they, the co redeemers! What an atrocious torment will be their hell. They were the depositaries and dispensers of the fruits of My redemption!
They, My especially beloved friends, did not want to recognize Me. Their work in the Mystical Body remained sterile by their having extinguished the lamp of faith in their hearts, by their having rejected Me on the way of the Cross, by having torn in pieces the unity of My Mystical Body. »
§33 ~ Moved by love
«Son, you have now realized the insistence with which I return to this painful theme. It is urgent to expose this sorrowful reality to the light, so that when the punishment begins its destructive action and when the severe action of the justice of My Father arrives, it may be known with clarity that the warnings, interventions, and callings were not lacking (although by many not heeded),so that Christianity could have avoided the indescribable evils that await it. It is necessary that from now on it may be known, especially by the good, that the Father, even in the rigors of His justice, is always moved by love, for God is love. God does not desire the death of the sinner, but that he may be converted and live. Because men and many of My priests, have not admitted, nor received the repeated invitations to conversion, and because they have not benefitted from the partial punishments permitted and decreed, to call them to return to reality, anger will fall upon them. They have obliterated God from their hearts. In their foolishness they say supernatural life does not exist or that God does not intervene, but God will obliterate from the face of the earth, all the fruits of theirmadness and their pride. My son, pray and make others pray; the collapse and disintegration are already in act. »
THE GIFT OF BAPTISM
September 16, 1975
§34 ~ The gift of Baptism
Msgr. Octavio: «Lord, what is the participation of us priests in the mystery of the Incarnation? » Jesus: «Son, I have already answered this question in the preceding conversations. All Christians have been regenerated by grace; all have been made real sons and daughters of God. God’s true progeny. Thisis an act so great and so sublime that it is necessary to give it its adequate character and exposition. Behold, My son, in this materialistic century, more importance is given to external matters than to the supernatural fact of baptism, in which a substantial form is marked upon the soul of the child for time and for eternity. This gift is considered only superficially, a gift that is not merited, but is given by pure divine generosity to the baptized one. To this pagan framework that they have placed around baptism, My priests have adapted themselves with impudent superficiality. They have not reacted to this paganism, that like a thick cloud hides this precious gift of God from the eyes of the faithful. The commanding pagan customs of life obscure and strip away the most beautiful and profound divine realities from the eyes of souls. The grace granted to the baptized one, transforms and transfigures the soul of the one who receives this sacrament, which is generated in the Incarnation, and thus every baptized soul participates in the mystery of the Incarnation. This participation should, be intensified by the development and growth of My divine life, by means of the parents’ collaboration, example, and a true and solid Christian education. This education should begin in the first months of life, but unfortunately it is no longer thus, because this pagan generation sees nothing in the child except its human nature. There was and still is, on behalf of My priests, a lack of thorough vigilance about this central teaching of Christian life. All Christians participate in the mystery of the Incarnation (and priests even more so), with a firm adhesion in their life through faith in this great mystery. If I, the Word of God, have become incarnate to communicate My divine life to men, to elevate them, help them and lead them to eternal life, they should accept with joy all the consequences of this great mystery, living these consequences with entire fidelity every day. Son, you yourself can see how paganism has alienated My faithful and with them many priests, from this divine reality, and has reduced everything to more or less ostentatious and paganized rites. »
§35 ~ Consistent with your baptism
«Now I answer your question directly, that you made in a previous conversation. You priests are not simple Christians. I have chosen you to be My ministers upon earth. I have chosen you to be the object of My special love and favor. I have taken you from the world, but I have left you in it, so that you may be instruments, collaborators, and co-redeemers in the realization of the mystery of salvation. I have clothed you with a dignity and power so that your ministry may be efficacious. A dignity and power of which you are not fully aware, and that you use very little. With special rigor;
all of you should be firmly consistent with your baptism, with your confirmation and with your and My priesthood. Thus, it was in My Mother who, upon pronouncing her Fiat was the cause of a prodigy so great that heaven and earth cannot contain it (whose consequences changed the fate of humanity in time and in eternity). Thus, you priests, when you pronounce the words of consecration, should believe that I, the Word of God, become flesh and blood, Soul and Divinity, in your hands.
My Mother, in the moment of giving her free, conscious, and responsible consent and of giving her Fiat, produced the simultaneous threefold intervention of God, Three and One.
Thus you, in the consecration, produce the simultaneous intervention of the Divine Trinity, also in the presence of My Mother and Yours. » §36 ~ Tobelieve firmly «Son, if a priest is covered and penetrated with this faith, if a priest faith firmly in this divine reality, testimony of the infinite love of God, this priest is transformed, and his life becomes marvelously fruitful. In the mystery of the Incarnation, (that through the work of the priest, God renews in his hands, which were consecrated) for this purpose, he finds the inexhaustible source of the gifts of My merciful Heart. No adverse power can then resist him, for I am in him, and he is in Me. My son, we have seen together another aspect of the misery that this generation manifests. Love Me a great deal, tend to Me night and day, and repay Me with love and with your faith, in compensation for the coldness of many of My ministers, whom I love great and whom I desire saved. I bless you, and with you I bless the personsthat are dear to you. Remember that My blessing is like a wall of protection and an armor of defense. »
16 ~ PORTRAIT OF MY MYSTICAL BODY
September 17, 1975
§37 ~ Portrait of My Mystical Body
Jesus: «Son, all the members of a body tend harmoniously to only one purpose, the conservation and growth of that same body.
Thus, in my Mystical Body, all the members should tend to the supreme good of that body, that is the salvation of all the members of which it is formed. The fact that the members of this Body are free and intelligent, capable of discerning and of desiring good or evil, constitutes a greater reason, so that all may tend to the common good. Nevertheless, it is not thus. Seduced and deceived, many members, destroying the harmony of the Body of which they form a part, pursue evil tenaciously, harming not only themselves but also the other members of the Body. And if besides, these members are priests, they destroy the harmonious cohesion, with incalculable harm for themselves and for the entire Christian community. In My Church, all priests should tend with courage to the common good of all souls. For this great purpose, they were called, without exception. In My Church, there are not different purposes. The purpose is the same for all the members – to save souls, to save souls, and to save souls – and this in a very particular way regards My priests. The least priest, (least in your manner of speaking, for he may be the greatest, such as the holy Curé of Ars, ‘least and greatest). I say the least priest that consumes his life in the offering of himself in the holy Sacrifice of the Mass in communion with Me, is greater than many dignitaries that do not always do this. In My Mystical Body there are many members terribly sick with presumption, with pride and with lust. There are many priests who treat of the priesthood as any other mundane profession, who are more preoccupied with their income than the salvation of souls. There are many priests who are proud of their art, that is, of their sagacity, forgetting that nearly always, the art of rhetoric is the art of lying, and this is the sagacity and astuteness of Satan. Let your language be simple and sincere.
If it is yes, yes. If it is no, no. Whatever exceeds this is from the malign one. The Truth is charity, and charity speaks the Truth. »
§38 ~ Not their words
«In My Church there are many priests who proclaim themselves, in fine and curious language, in elegance of speech, or with a thousand artifices, they seek to call the attention of the listeners, so it may converge on them. It is true that My word by itself is efficacious; I say My word, not theirs. My word, before being announced, should be read, meditated upon, and absorbed. Afterwards it should be given with humility and simplicity.
In My Mystical Body there are areas of infection. There are purulent wounds. In the seminaries, there are infected persons who contaminate those who should be Myministers of tomorrow. Who can evaluate all this evil? If in a hospital or in a community, a contagious illness is manifested, they set about the problem without any delay, have recourse to remedies with great solicitude, with consultations and isolation, with quarantine, with rapid, direct and energetic means. In My Mystical Body even more grave evils are being manifested, and there is so much condescension, as if nothing were happening.
It is treated as unjustified fears and exaggerations. All energies and resources are put in motion for making excuses, to have the luxury of doing nothing to arrest chronic spiritual illness and degradation. To allow these evils to be spread, which lead souls to perdition, is not love. It’s not charity! They have abused and exaggerated the mercy of God, as if justice did not co-exist with mercy. One who is invested with responsibility, acting with rectitude, should not worry about the consequences, when it is necessary to use means to cut off the evil that is being done. Son, what can be said of so many priests of Mine, about the irresponsible way they occupy themselves in the delicate task of teaching religion in the schools? It is true that good priests are not lacking, well trained, conscientious, who perform their duty in the best way. But together with the good, how many superficial ones, and even corrupt ones, have done and continue to do immense evil instead of good, and this, to young persons so in need of being helped morally and spiritually.
Compassion for others, should not witness to giving license in patterns of behavior that fall short of God’s way; either toward those priests or those taught. »
§39 ~ Suitable clothing
«Dispositions in relation to the form of dress of the priest have been imparted from on high.
My priests, even when living in the world, have been segregated from the world. I want My priests to be distinguished from laymen not only by their more perfect spiritual life, but also externally they should be distinguished by suitable and appropriate clothing. What inadmissible condescension toward My wise laws on behalf of those who have the power to legislate, and together with this power have the duty to make the laws respected. And why do they not do it? And God knows why. The inconveniences and troubles would not be few, but I never promised anyone an easy life, free from pains and contradictions! Perhaps they fear adverse reactions, that would cause an even worse outcome, but it is not so. This laxity provokes even greater laxity. Employees in public offices, and factories, and in police and military forces, wear their own special uniforms, that distinguish them. Many of My priests are ashamed, and thus they contravene these dispositions, emulating and even competing in elegance and show, with worldly people. How can My Heart not lament over this? He who is not faithful in little things is not faithful in greater ones. What can be said, in addition, to the way in which many of My priests administer the sacraments? They go to the confessional in shirt sleeves, and at times even without this, and often without a table. If they have to make a visit to a family of ‘importance,’ then they wear a coat and fine clothing, but the house of God is much less than any family of ‘importance.’ A cassock or a soutane is prescribed for the exercise of their ministry: such as visiting the sick, teaching in schools, visits to hospitals, the celebration of Mass, and administration of the sacraments.
Nowadays, who wears a cassock for any of these sublime sacred acts where God Himself intervenes? This, My son, is a lack of discipline, that terminates in anarchy. What can be said of My priests who do not have time to pray, occupied as they are in so many useless activities? Because they lack My Spirit, they lack My Presence, and where I am not, there is no spiritual fruitfulness. How many priests have time and means to see movies, or even immoral and pornographic films, with the insane pretext that it is necessary to know in order to judge. This pretext is Satanic, because the holy priests that would never permit such immorality, are forestalled, and contradicted in being able to guide and counsel souls… »
§40 ~ The duty to Obedience
«But there are things even worse. Son, I have constituted the Church a hierarchical society, and let it not be said that times have changed, and therefore, it is necessary to change everything. In My Church there are firm points that cannot be changed with the changing of the times. The principle of authority and the duty of obedience can never be changed. The way of exercising authority can be changed, but authority cannot be annulled. Let not paternity, in the high spheres, be confounded with weakness. Paternity does not exclude firmness; rather it demands it. My son, why have I desired to expose to the light, part of the many evils that affect My Church? I have done it to make My priestsresponsible and aware of their responsibilities. I desire a real conversion to a truly holy life. I want their conversion because I love them. Let them know that their conduct is often the cause of scandals and ruin for many souls. It is not justice, to abuse the love of God, trusting in His mercy and ignoring His justice. Son, I have told you repeatedly that the collapse and disintegration of My Church is now in process. Only the sincere return to prayer and penance of all My priests and of all Christians can pay the anger of the Father and detain the just and logical consequences of His justice. God’s Justice is always exercised through His loving and responsible paternity for the common good, and the salvation of countless souls. I wanted to tell you all this, because I want to make of My “little drops of water that fall downward” instruments for the plan of My Providence. I bless you, My son. Love Me;
pray, repair and repay Me with Your love for the much evil that rages in My Church. »
§41 ~ There is also good
«It is true that in My Church there is much good. Woe to you if it were not so! But I have not come for the just of heaven, who do not need Me to come, because they always have Me. I have come for sinners. These I love, and I wish to save them. For this reason, I have placed My finger on some of the many wounds and injuries of My Church, that are the cause of the perdition of many souls. It is said that no one goes to hell anymore, either because they deny its existence, or because they support themselves on a mercy of God that cannot send anyone to hell. But in spite of these heresies and errors, hell and the justice of God still continue to exist! I bless you, My son. Love Me, pray, atone, and correspond to Me with your love, in reparation for so much evil that keeps increasing in My Church. Because, if there is no reparation, even many of My priests will make it to hell. »
September 18, 1975
§42 ~ I am in your midst
Jesus: «Son, in My previous conversations there were not lacking signs of My presence among you. Today I desire to call your attention one more time to this divine reality from which one could gather inestimable gifts, both in the order of spiritual and eternal life, and in the order of material and earthly life. I, Jesus, Eternal Word of God, forever begotten by the Father and in the fullness of time, made flesh in the virginal womb of My Most Holy Mother, and your merciful Mother, am gloriously present at the right hand of the Father in the glory of paradise. I am likewise really present in body, blood, soul, and divinity in all the consecrated hosts in the world. I am and will be in your midst until the consummation of the ages, until the end of time. How is it possible that many do not seek the reason for this; My presence, in the midst of men? Why have I desired to remain in your midst, in spite of always knowing the treatment that men would give Me? Hatred, offenses, injuries, coldness, but at the same time, I knew that generous souls would not be lacking, who repay Me and compensate for all this evil that the impious do to Me. The reason for My presence in the world has an answer, My son: ‘love.’ »
§43 ~ My Word
«How do I realize My presence in My Mystical Body? First, with the gift of My Word. I have entrusted to the Church the patrimony, the spiritual deposit of My Word, that is the word of life and of truth. I have guarded this treasure with the assistance of the Holy Spirit. I am the truth and the life, that My Church can indicate with confidence to all souls without danger of erring. The hostilities against Me, the Word of God, have been continuous and ferocious in the course of the centuries. Heretics, false teachers, impostors, all instigated by the Evil One, have done everything they could to erase Me from the face of the earth, to erase the way, the truth, and the life, to erase Me; the Word of God. But they struggled in vain. This materialistic age does not leave any means unemployed, with the intention of destroying Me: sects, atheist groups, poisoned currents of perverse philosophies that destroy all sublime spiritual values, the values of true civilization. But is it possible that men have such poor memories that they no longer remember the tragic history of this century, that is your history? What is extremely painful is the fact that many of My priests, instead of trusting humbly in the infallible Magisterium of My Church, have placed themselves on the side of the enemies of truth, setting themselves up presumptuously as teachers. Thus, they have made themselves responsible for spreading heresies without number, with great harm to souls. Why have so many of My priests become promoters, with Satan, of so much harm for souls? Pride makes them blind; it truly makes people blind, even more blind than bats. »
§44 ~ My vicar
«I am in your midst, son, in the person of My Vicar. To him all power has been given to feed the lambs and the sheep. He who loves him, loves Me. He who does not listen to him, does not listen to Me. He who fights him, fights Me.
He who despises him, despises Me. My Vicar ascends his Calvary day after day, but many do not realize this. He sheds tears for the sons who convert themselves into ravenous wolves and carry their flock to ruin. How I have become the object of scorn, of hatred and of wars! My Vicar is at the helm of the ship in this sadhour in which the sea is strongly agitated, and the mute agitation of the waves is an omen of an approaching, tremendous storm. My son, it is necessary to be close to My Vicar, to the ‘sweet’ Christ of the earth. It is necessary to sustain him with prayer, with the offering of one’s sufferings. It is necessary to love him and make him loved by others. Everything in good or in evil that is done to him, it is to Me that it is done. It is necessary to defend him from the frequent Satanic insinuations of his enemies. I am in him. I am present in My Church in his person. »
§45 ~ The Eucharist
«Son, I am also present in the Church in the mystery of love and of faith; and I mean the mystery of the Eucharist. I am truly present in body, blood, soul and Divinity. If this presence of Mine were believed, felt, and lived in all its sublime and marvelous reality, by all My priests, it would be transformed into such a ferment of purification and super naturalization, that they could transform the face of the Church, and they would draw from My merciful Heart many graces and even unexpected miracles. But unfortunately, there are not very many who believe in this reality with much confidence. The majority believes feebly, and there are not lacking those who in practice do not believe in My Eucharistic presence. My Vicar on earth has rightly and repeatedly spoken about the crisis of faith, the cause and origin of innumerable evils. »
§46 ~ Where there is suffering
«There is a fourth form of My presence on earth: I am really present in My saints. Holy are those; who live with, in, through, by, and from – My divine life. I am truly present in My saints, who pursue with great tenacity the most daring conquests of all the Christian virtues. I am really present in those who suffer. Where there is suffering there I am.
Besides all these, I am also present in the victim souls. In them I find My complacence, My joys. They repay Me abundantly for the offenses, insults, blasphemies, and sacrileges of those who do not love Me. They form the delights of My Father. The victim souls are those who have mitigated and preserved the anger of My Father for so many iniquities of this perverse generation, which instead of quenching its thirst with the fountains of living and pure water, burns in desires of quenching it with the putrefied waters of the swamps filled with sewage. My son, love me; love Me alone, with your love, with your faith and with your offering. I bless you, and with you I bless all those for whom you pray daily. »
September 19, 1975
§47 ~ One look would suffice
Jesus: «Son, of what value are glory, esteem, riches, and health, prosperity, talent, and culture, if in the end one loses one’s soul ?
These words have been a motive for many souls of good will, for a radical spiritual regeneration or conversion. A serious and careful reflection about this invitation of Mine, can carry souls to the conquest of heroic virtues, to the achievement of sanctity and perfection. A serious meditation about this counsel of Mine can cause many souls to discover that precious pearl about which I speak in the parable. For such a treasure, it is indeed worthwhile to totally renounce sin, by means of a resolute and decisive detachment from the false goods and affections of this world. Thus, they are enabled to follow Me on the road to Calvary, in order to obtain an unfading crown of eternal glory in the house of My Father. Son, a soul in sin is like a large rock, that by virtue of the laws of nature and of gravity, precipitates from on high into the depths, and increases in speed and force in its fall. The soul in sin is precipitated into the depths, in its fall increasing the weight and force of its faults and of its passions. What natural law can destroy and reverse the downward course of a large rock? What natural law can reverse its descent downward and make it ascend to the heights? No natural law can work this miracle; only a law of a superior order could do it. I alone am the supernatural law, that is to say, the divine force, that can destroy the sinner in his destructive fall toward the precipice and change his course of descent into an ascent to the heights, toward life. This is what I ardently desire to do with all sinners, and in particular with My priests, who are overcome by the Evil One with the concupiscence of the spirit and of the senses.
One look; if only that much, they would direct toward the crucifix would suffice, one invocation to My merciful Heart and that, according to Peter’s example, they would say to Me: “Save me, for I am drowning in these waves!” Oh, My son, how solicitous I would be in stretching out My hand to them, to place them in safety! »
§48 ~ I love souls
«Do you realize the tragic situation of many of My priests, who are walking with great strides toward the eternal condemnation of their souls? Can there be a greater and more terrible tragedy on earth than this? Can there be a more diabolical deceit than the one that has been spread in these times by false teachers, who affirm that hell does not exist, and that divine mercy could never permit the eternal condemnation of a soul? These propagandists of heresies and errors would like to see divine justice annulled, but let them know that in Me, justice and mercy are indivisible, for in Me they are one and the same thing. My son, I am the light that has come into this world. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness did not comprehend it. I love souls; I desire the salvation of souls; for this I have come, but I have need of all of you, of your collaboration. You are My members, and all the members tend to the same and only purpose. I have need of you, so that the mystery of salvation may be fulfilled in its plenitude.
According to My example, according to the example of My most holy Mother, of the martyrs, of the saints, you should generously embrace your cross and follow Me. If the cross seems heavy, you know that I am in all of you, to lighten the weight. Son, I have told you and I repeat it: this is a duty of justice and of charity.
No one can withdraw from it, much less My priests. Fear not, it is I who lead you. Walk forward. Don’t go back, and do not worry.
They have rejected My Gospel. They have distorted My truth. They have not believed the victim souls, to whom I have spoken. In their words I placed the seal of My grace, but they resisted it. I dictated to Maria Valtorta, a victim soul, a marvelous work; of this work I am the author. You yourself have realized the furious reaction of Satan towards it. You have verified the resistance that many priests place to this work, and if it were not only read, but also studied and meditated, it would be an immense blessing for so many souls. This work is a source of serious and solid culture. But instead of this work, for which there is reserved a great success in the regenerated Church, they prefer the filter of so many magazines and books of presumptuous and proud theologians. I bless you, as always. Love Me. »
September 22, 1975
§49 ~ The communion of Saints
Jesus: «Son, I have repeatedly told you that I am love; where there is love I am. I am infinite, eternal, uncreated love, and have come to the earth to reconcile and reunite humanity again with God, snatching it from hatred. Love by its nature tends to union, just as hatred by its nature tends to disunion. We are three, but infinite love unites us intimately into one alone, into only one nature, essence and will. Love made Me, the eternal Word of God made flesh, immolate myself, for the purpose of giving to every man the possibility of uniting himself to Me, his God, and to form with Me only one thing, just as I am one and the same thing with My Father, who sent Me.
Son, for more than a hundred years materialism, like an obscure and dense shadow, surrounds a great part of humanity.
In My Mystical Body, that is, in the souls of many of the faithful and of priests, this materialism has also obscured the dogma of the Communion of Saints, which is a marvelous and magnificent spiritual reality, living, true and operating in heaven and on earth. There are no terms on earth to explain the grandeur, the power, and the vibrant operation of love and of life. There are no words in your human language capable of expressing this invisible and mysterious interchange, that finds its center in My merciful Heart. Few are the souls that have understood, and few also are the priests who besides believe abstractly, live actively in this Communion with the blessed in Paradise, with the souls awaiting in Purgatory, and with the militant breath on earth. Contrary to the bias about this, death does not put an end to the activity of souls. Death, which you should more precisely call “transit,” is to pass from time to eternity, and this passing does not put an end to the activity of the soul, irrespective of whether it is good, or whether it is evil. »
§50 ~ The family of God
«In any family well-ordered in love, each member that constitutes it, concurs in the common good, in an interchange of goods given and received in a harmonious communion. Thus, it is, to an immensely superior degree, in the great family of the children of God, militants on earth, waiting in Purgatory, and the blessed in Paradise.
Therefore, it is necessary to have precise ideas about faith in this human and divine reality, that sprang from my immolation on the cross, for the purpose of always making it richer and more copious in divine fruits. It is necessary:
1. To believe in the dogma of the Communion of Saints.
2. When they speak of the family of the children of God, priests should make it very clear that to this family belong the pilgrims on earth, the souls in waiting in Purgatory, and the just of Paradise, that is, the saints.
3. Priests, many of whom put the accent almost exclusively on social questions, rightly deploring the injustices committed against the militant brethren, forget the gravest injustices performed that injure the brethren that are in Purgatory. For this grave omission it is required: either not to believe in Purgatory, or not to believe in the tremendous sufferings to which these purging souls are subjected. The necessity of help for the souls in Purgatory is much greater than that of the creature that suffers most on earth. The duty of charity and of justice toward the souls in purgatory is more impelling for you, and it can be added that frequently there are purging souls that suffer because of your bad examples or because with them you were accomplices in evil or in any form of occasions of sin. If faith is not active, it is not faith. »
§51 ~ Life continues
«My son, it is necessary to make people understand with clarity that life continues after the grave. All those who preceded you in the sign of faith, are in Purgatory or already in Paradise. They continue loving you with a purer, more living, and greater love. They are animated with a great desire to help you to overcome the severe trials of life so that you will arrive, as they have already arrived, at the goal, the core purpose of life itself. They already know very well the dangers that assail your soul, but the help they can give you is conditioned in great measure by your faith and your free will in approaching them by prayer and by confidence in their powerful patronage toward God and toward the Blessed Virgin . If the priests and the faithful are animated with a living faith, conscious of the inexhaustible resources of grace, of help and of gifts that they can obtain from this dogma of the Communion of Saints, they will see its power multiplied a hundredfold over the forces of evil. I have endowed My great family with riches and unfathomable power, and I establish it with the invincible force of an infinite and eternal love. »
§52 ~ Unused resources
«Let My priests instruct the faithful with simple and clear words, saying that your brethren who have already completed their pilgrimage on earth in their temporal life, are not divided from you. They are not far from you. Let them also say that they are not inert or passive in relation to you, but they are in a new state of life more perfect than yours. They are very close to you. They love you and they take part, in the measure of the perfection achieved, in all the events of My Mystical Body. I repeat to you that they cannot go beyond your free will, but if they are asked by your faith and through your invocations, they will be ever closer to you in your fight against the Evil One.
They hold you; they follow you and they intervene in the measure determined by your faith and by your free will. My son, what immense treasures My Father has predisposed for all of you! What immense unused resources! How many possibilities of good that remain empty! They say they believe, but there is only a minimum of coherence with the faith they say they have. I bless you; love me. »
September 23, 1975
§53 ~ To see your life upon new foundations
Jesus: «Every major commander periodically reunites his helpers around his worktable.
With them he revises and studies the plans that they have elaborated for defense and also for attack against the enemy. These plans are realized and elaborated upon continuously, according to the changes in the situation of the peoples. Thus, My son, and with greater reason, they should act, those who in My Church have the precise duty of preparing the army of My soldiers (and all the confirmed are My soldiers), for defense against the attacks of their spiritual enemies: the world, the demon, and the passions, and of preparing them not only for defense but for attack also.
The battle that My soldiers should fight is the most important, the most necessary, the most urgent, of all the wars that are waged in the world. It is the most necessary, because on the outcome of this battle depends eternal life or eternal death. It is the most urgent, because the well organized and well directed forces of evil want to have supremacy over the forces of good, and if the latter prevails it would be decisive for the future of the Church and of the world. It is the most important battle, if they do not want to succumb in time and in eternity. Son, in a previous conversation, I spoke to you with clarity about the strange battle that is in process since the creation of man. The Christians who lack orientation seem to have lost the reason for their existence, overcome by the crisis of faith, organized by the wicked tide of materialism, ill-guided and inadequately prepared and formed, they are frightfully overcome by the adverse forces of evil. It is urgent to fix one’s glance on one’s origin, and to have the courage to look reality in the face, if one does not want to be defeated. »
§54 ~ Spiritual remedies
Msgr. Octavio: «Lord, it seems to me that there are many initiatives and activities now in the Church precisely to counter this evil. » Jesus: «My son, activities and initiatives, studies and meetings are not lacking. There are even too many. But I have told you that it is urgent to reach the very roots of the problem.
This means to have the courage of seeking the real causes of the defeat of the Christian world of today. The Council has indicated these causes, but very few have taken them seriously.
The majority, with diabolical foolishness, have taken these principles given by the Council, to create confusion and anarchy in My Mystical Body, among My officials and among My faithful. The remedies to eliminate the causes of so many spiritual evils, have to be spiritual ones also. It is obvious; the remedies that I have indicated for you with the shining examples of My life, passion, and death. The first remedy, fundamental and secure, is an authentic conversion. No one should be surprised, neither the faithful, much less the priests. Let My priests begin to examine themselves in their interior life. How much they will find that they should repair! To repair themselves, in order to repair the others, to sanctify themselves in order to sanctify the others. Less useless and harmful reading, less television, less spectacles and shows, more meditation and prayer, more devotion to My Mother and your Mother also, and to a more intense Eucharistic life. Son, by many of My priests I am treated as a mere object. Neither more nor less than any other kind of object.
Nevertheless, I, Jesus, the eternal Word of God, and My Father also, are really present, in this mystery of love, in this mystery of faith. »
§55 ~ Interior benefit
«If My priests have the courage to put their hand to the plow, to give a beginning to this interior cultivation, I will be with them. I will help them.
I will assist them. Iwill console them so that they may not fail in their holy resolutions, and great also will be the assistance and help of My Mother. From here, My son, say so to your priest brethren, and only from here, is it necessary to begin the great reform, in order to purify and make My Church supernatural. The Church which has become to a great extent; a parody of paganism. For this purpose, they should have meetings. In order to elaborate in a fraternal way, the plans for personal and social defense of My Church. Let them not fear. I will be in the midst of them. Then I will truly make known to them My paths, and in these paths of Mine I will guide them. Tell them, My son, without fear, without timidity. Cast forth your small seed and pray,so that it does not fall upon sterile earth, but on fruitful earth. »
September 25, 1975
§56 ~ Dark shadows that surround My Church
Jesus: «The theme that I am speaking to you about is not new; on other occasions I have indicated the shadows that surround My Church. I say shadows, because I mean they are many, but they all have only one cause: the great crisis of faith. Faith is not a product of man; rather it is a great gift of God. It is a precious fruit of My Redemption that springs from My merciful, open Heart. I am the life of men, but this life is the light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. True Life in man; I speak of My divine life, can be increased, and developed, but it can also be weakened and extinguished to such an extent that it is deprived of all force and energy.
My Mystical Body is in crisis. It is surrounded by dark shadows, like the earth when a storm is about to break forth. My Church is in crisis because its members are smothering, by their life of materialism, the divine life, the interior life of faith, and with it, hope and love. I speak to you about extinguished lights, about lights that are going out. They are the souls of many of My priests and of very many faithful, in whom the divine life of grace no longer palpitates, no longer vibrates. Of what value is an extinguished light? Of what value is a cadaver? It can only be buried in the earth, to avoid infection and mortal illnesses coming forth from it. Each Christian, and especially each priest, should be a brilliant lamp, for the world wrapped in darkness, in order to radiate light and give testimony of Me, the eternal Word of God made flesh, the light of the world. »
§57 ~ Coherence and fidelity
«To be a brilliant lamp, it is necessary to live one’s faith with fidelity and coherence. In these last years, My Vicar on repeated occasions has raised his enlightened voice with force, but a great number of priests and Christians have not paid attention to his words, and on not a few occasions have mocked them and laughed at them. My son, how am I not to be profoundly embittered by such foolish and impenitent conduct? Materialism, growing and increasing for many years, fomented by Satan, has contaminated humanity, extinguishing in so many souls the incomparable gifts of faith, of hope and of charity, of the interior life, and of grace, without which no one can be saved . It is true that in My Mystical Body there are vigorous buds, some hidden and others seen by many, who will be the most fruitful seeds of My reborn Church, regenerated and purified of its present desolation, for nowadays My Church can be compared to a desert , in which abound rambles and briars, reeds, withered branches and thorns that make the way very difficult for the good.
But when the conflagration, which has already begun underneath the ashes, will burn with great flames, it will destroy all things and purify the earth of the fruit of human madness, of its pride, of its impurity and of all its filth. Then those numerous buds and shoots of life will cover the purified earth, and it will be a luxuriant, leafy, and fruitful garden, and it will give asylum to men, who will have become wise and prudent, reconciled with God in Me, and reconciled among themselves. In love; they will live in peace. »
§58 ~ The meaning of life
«How much I desire that, priests and the faithful, after having been freed from the weight that oppresses and chokes them, would acquire once more the meaning of life, converting themselves to Me, to the Light , to the true Life, returning to the house of My Father, who awaits them and loves them in spite of their perversion. For this reason, I have spoken to you, son, so that you can make known to My priests the bitterness of My merciful Heart, and the anguish of My Father, who sees his children separated from his love, and walking toward ruin and death . Poor souls, redeemed by Me, inebriated, and blinded, they go stumbling in the darkness. They do not know that earthly life, a gift of God the Creator, is ordered toward eternal life. They do not know that it is brief and fleeting, that it lasts as the plants and flowers of the field, that are cut down.
My poor children! Pride, vanity, and presumption have wrapped them in darkness, to such an extent that they do not even recognize themselves. Nothing should be left undone, in order to obtain for them the grace of a genuine conversion. For, I tell you once more, it is a matter, for many of them, of conversion. It is necessary to pray and to ask others to pray, to offer tribulations and contradictions that they suffers. The sufferings that everyone has in his life, if they are accepted with faith and offered with generosity, are truly a leaven of grace and of mercy. But the time now available is not very long. Woe to those who do not profit from it! I bless you, and the persons united to you in faith and in fraternal love. Love Me very much. You know that I love you. »

§59 ~ An essential and urgent revision
Jesus: «As I have already mentioned, every major commander periodically reunites his helpers around his worktable. With them he revises and studies the plans for defense and for attack. He makes this revision so the plans may always be well studied and prepared, according to to the developing and evolving events, and so that they may be ready for any circumstance that may presentitself. Thus, act men who have social responsibilities. Likewise in My Church and in My local churches, there should exist the same kind of vigilance, with the same diligent care. In My Church there is an immense army of confirmed persons who should be trained for the fight against the enemies of the soul: the demons, the passions, and the world. It is the duty of the hierarchy, the major commander of the local churches, to organize and conduct this enormous battle campaign that is being fought since the creation of man, and it will continue without interruption until the end of the times.
I have already said that men, either personally or socially, are the object and victims of this battle against the obscure and darksome powers of hell, for whom all ambushes and seductions are licit, provided that they can destroy souls. Many no longer have faith in this tremendous reality, and when they do not believe, they do not appraise the forces nor the possibilities of the enemy. Thus, it becomes impossible to conduct a well-organized war, if they are not convinced of it, neither on the individual level, nor on the social level. The care with which some major commanders make their plans is praiseworthy, but on the other hand, the laziness and passivity of other major commanders is deplorable. Many local churches do not know either how to prepare or realize their plans, neither of defense nor of attack, against all the forces of evil. »
§60 ~ Too many things
«Indeed, many things are done, at times too many things, that are not of much use for this purpose, which is that of defeating the forces of the Evil One. The enemies of the Church, of the good and of the truth, have become impudent and boastful, and they advance ever more and become more insolent. They have even arrived at subverting the divine and natural laws. How is that possible, My son? Many responsibilities weigh upon My Church for the many evils that affect it, and the basis of all of them is the crisis of faith, the crisis of the interior life. With ever increasing frequency some have arrived at being accommodating of the enemies of God and of the Church. Weakness, a morbid love of prestige, lack of unity, and total anarchy. The physiognomy of the children of God and of the ministers of God has been disfigured. It’s time to wake up! It is time to put the ax to the root. I mean, that it is time to respond to My invitation to a true conversion before it is too late. It is time that the different major commanders of My churches no longer waste time in useless things and initiatives. They have the defect of never going to the root of the problem of evil. »
§61 ~ Examination of conscience
«The gravity of the situation imposes a valid labor for everyone, so that everyone may do it, from the top to the bottom, and this consists in a serious, profound, and careful examination of conscience, that will lead to the following conclusions:
1. Are we disposed to elaborate a new plan of interior life, a new way of living our faith, our hope, charity, and the life of grace?
2. Are we disposed to apply laborious effort for things of infinite value, as many men do for transient, secular goals?
3. Are we willing to train ourselves against the forces of evil, with a true crusade of life of prayer and of penance?
4. Are we disposed to silence the tumult that is raised around us and inside of us, in order to listen in silence and in recollection to the invitations that come to us from on high, to help us to cast away the dangers that dominate us ?
5. Are we disposed to return to a sincere and living devotion to the Mother of Jesus and our Mother?
6. to accept her call to mortification and penance?
7. Are we disposed to a sincere and living return to Jesus in the Eucharist? If My priests, so occupied with so many activities, want to be objective, they should admit that in spite of their feverish work, they no longer offer motives of credibility to the faithful, with few exceptions.
Perchance, have the fountains of grace dried up and been extinguished? Yeah! My merciful Heart is always open. It is in their very own selves that they should look and seek the causes of the problem. It is necessary to put the ax to the root. I mean, it is urgent that you My priests, should change the route first, if you want the majority of the army to follow you. Indeed, for this purpose it is worth the trouble to have meetings, and in a loyal and sincere brotherhood to elaborate a plan of spiritual reform. Isn’t this something that the Council asks of you? The life of grace, unity and obedience, an end to anarchy, a fight against the demon and against evil without compromise. These are the great themes that it is necessary to ponder, from top to bottom.
What determines you from doing it now? Fear, shame, human respect, attachment to an easy life. Be converted! Be converted. Let not this invitation of Mine frighten you or scandalize you. I and My Mother, who loves you so much, will be at your side. It is a matter of the salvation of your souls, and of the salvation of the many souls who have been entrusted to each one of you. Son, I bless you. Love Me. »

§62 ~ My Passion continues
Jesus: «How far from the truth are those, and they are not few, who see the mystery of My Incarnation, passion, death, and resurrection, as a distant happening, that is lost in the depths of the ages. How far from the truth also, are others who think that I am indeed glorious in Paradise, but forgetful or not interested in the affairs of men and of human happenings. These are the symptoms of a tenuous, sickly faith, infected by ignorance. A Christian cannot ignore My presence, not only in Paradise but also on earth. Christianity cannot ignore that I am and will be on earth until the consummation of the times. No deed or happening, either personal or national, whether great or small, can be alien to My merciful Heart. I would not be God, if it were not thus! Christianity should not ignore that if I can no longer suffer physically, morally I am still atrociously embittered by coldness and by ingratitude, by offenses, by betrayals, and by the terrible blasphemies with which I am continuously insulted. The Judases are multiplying. My love does not receive correspondence, or what is worse, it receives correspondence with hostility and insults of every kind. All these are sufferings that men in the hardness of their hearts cannot understand. How far from this reality are those who have such a nebulous vision of the mystery of salvation? The mystery of the cross is in process, and My suffering that continues is also in process, although in an unbloody manner. My blood is truly shed continuously, for the remission of your sins. My body is truly given in nourishment, to nourish your souls. I am truly the victim, offering Myself to the Father and in Me, the divine victim, humanity, and Divinity find each other and are reconciled in an infinite love. »
§63 ~ God Almighty is present
«My son, if only at least My priests had the solid and firm conviction that I, the Son of God, true God and true man, the meeting point of sinful humanity with My heavenly Father, am truly with all of you, in your midst, day and night in the state of a victim. If at least they were convinced, when they enclose Me in those four small walls, that there, God Almighty is present, Creator of heaven and earth, Redeemer, and Savior, at least they would have a little love for Me, but there is no room in their souls for these considerations.
They have abandoned My ways and My paths, and they do not have time to go to seek Me in My humble dwelling. A living, true faith, lived hour after hour in a continuous offering, would ignite a purifying conflagration in My entire Church, that would be capable of placing divine justice and of detaining the hemorrhage of souls that travel to eternal perdition. What a tremendous responsibility for My priests who, having the possibility and efficacious means of collaborating with Me in the salvation of souls, do not occupy themselves with it! »
§64 ~ Confidence in thephysician
Msgr. Octavio: «What should we do, O Lord, so that we priests can again re-enter into ourselves, so that we may leave the obscurity that surrounds us, to awaken from the lethargy into which we have fallen, to escape from the crisis that affects us? » Jesus: «It is necessary that with great humility you become convinced of the evil from which you suffer. A sick person who is not clearly aware of his illness, does not feel the necessity of being cured. A sick person who does not have entire confidence in the physician who cures him, will not go to seek him to be cured. None of My priests affected by the crisis of faith, who are not convinced of their evil condition, will feel the necessity of being cured spiritually. No priest affected by the crisis of his interior life, who does not have entire confidence in Me, present in My Vicar, will find the strength to repair himself. I have spoken by means of My Vicar abundantly, about the infection that afflicts the clergy of this materialistic age. I have indicated with clarity the causes and the remedies for this infection. But who has taken My words seriously? Even laying this important matter aside, am I not the Way, the Truth, and the Life? Have I not said clearly: “He who wishes to follow Me, let him take up his cross and deny himself?” Is not this a most clear indication for everyone and for My priests in particular? My son, here is the key and the solution to all problems caused by the crisis of faith: interior mortification and exterior mortification. This is in complete contrast with the life that is led, and that they want to lead: motion pictures, entertainments, television, automobiles, without at times any pastoral justification for it. Feverish but unproductive dynamism, little availability, and disposition for prayer.
The step from this point to interior and exterior rebellion, is very easily achieved. Then in a true state of anarchy, the last interior lights of faith are extinguished by this style of life, entirely conditioned by the pagan civilization of this age. Put the ax to the root without hesitating, cutting what should be cut. In My merciful Heart you will find all the remedies to ascend once more along the “yes,” a difficult path, true, but not an impractical one. The path; of virtue. I bless you, son. Love Me great. »
September 30, 1975
§65 ~ Weeping is not a sign of weakness
Jesus: «My son, I wept, and not only once as some believe. I wept upon contemplating from on high the city, object of My great love.
My tears were the overflowing onto My exterior, of a sorrow that My Heart could not contain. I wept not because of weakness, but because I saw the injuries, the destruction and the lot that awaited the beloved city from divine Justice. How foolish are those who think that they can, with stubborn obstinacy, mock God; and also, those who think they can continue in their sins, trusting in His mercy, forgetting, as I have already told you, that in God, mercy and justice are inseparable, for they are only one thing. Son, I wept only once over the beloved and God’s favored city, but I have wept innumerable times over the ruin of souls, so beloved by Me, and I have not hesitated to immolate Myself as a victim of expiation and reconciliation on Calvary and on the altars for them. I wept over Judas, not so much for the betrayal that he executed, as for the ruin of his proud, lustful, and impenitent spirit. Judas resisted My love and every impulse of grace; a simple act of repentance would have been enough, and with joy I would have saved him. Let them consider this well, the hundredfold Judases of these times, and let them consider it also, the numerous sons who are obstinate in rejecting Me. Thus, My son, My weeping is not from weakness, but an outpouring of sorrow from My Heart, wounded mortally by the ruin of so many souls, many of whom are consecrated to Me. »
§66 ~ My Mother also wept
«My Mother also wept, the strongest and most valiant among all the mothers of humanity. She has shed bitter tears in remote and present times, before the almost total insensibility of many priests and of the faithful. She knows very well the great crisis that My Church and the entire world now suffers. They are deaf to every call of My merciful Heart, wrapped in a fearful darkness that is a prelude to the approaching storm. Let not the children of sin laugh; let not the sons of darkness laugh. The sword of divine justice hangs over their heads.
Son, what more could I do for My beloved City that I did not do? And I said: “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those that are sent to you. How many times I desired to gather your children, as the hen gathers her young under her wings, and you would not allow it. Behold, your house is left to you desolate, and of you there will not remain a stone upon a stone.” »
§67 ~ Sow the seed
«Perhaps My Church and the local churches, the cities, and the nations, are somewhat better than Jerusalem? What more could I do, that I have not done, in order to save you? Jerusalem rejected Me;Jerusalem condemned Me. There were not lacking good souls that did indeed receive My words, as they are not lacking today. Cities and nations, submerged in a nauseating paganism, reject Me, thus renewing the wicked condemnation. Son, the course of divine justice will be inexorable and irresistible.
Transmit this message of Mine to your brethren without worrying about the reactions that may come. Like a good sower sow the seed; your work and your sufferings will not have been useless, if even one little seed falls on good soil.
You will have done a great service to your brethren, and will have given a little joy to Me, among so much bitterness that they give Me. I bless you, son. Love Me great. »
October 1, 1975
§68 ~ I give myself continuously
Msgr. Octavio: «Lord, I have given Your message about “Participation of the Blessed Virgin in the Mystery of the Cross” to some persons, and they have had difficulty in believing what You told me in this message, in relation to the presence of the Most Holy Mary in the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass, in the offering that she makes of herself to the Father, united to You. » Jesus: «My son, this means that the good have perceived nothing, or almost nothing, of the essence of Christianity. You can also deduce from that, what they know, who are not so good. In My previous messages it was affirmed many times that I am love, and that in the commandment of love, is all the law and the prophets. The nature of love leads to its manifestation in giving and in giving itself. I, God, have given everything to you, and I have given My own self to all of you. I, God, have given you life. I, God, have given you the Redemption. I have given you the universe. I have given you the earth, this marvelous house in which you dwell (and which you are disfiguring), and this is merely the house of exile. Air, light, sun, heat, cold, seas and rivers, mountains and fruitful plains, plants, fruits and flowers, animals and fish of all species and kinds – they are all gifts of My love. But I am not only love, but the eternal, infinite and uncreated love. It was not enough to give you everything, the entire work of My creation, but I also wanted to give Myself; the Creator, the Lord of everyone and of everything, the Almighty God, Omnipresent and Omniscient.
I give Myself continuously to you in the mystery of the cross really perpetuated, incessantly consummated, and renewed in the mystery of the Holy Mass. »
§69 ~ Live by Me
«Love by its nature tends to union, by natural and by supernatural law. And, almighty God, can do all things. I can satiate My ardent thirst of love, giving Myself entirely to all of you, in order to be with you, one thing only with you, just as I am one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. We are Three in One, precisely through this law of love. After Myself, the creature whose love is without dimension is My Mother, the masterpiece of the most holy Trinity. She, associated with Me in the mystery of the Incarnation and in the mystery of the cross, cannot but be associated with Me in the mystery of the holy Mass, which is the same mystery as that of the cross, although unbloody. Son, if love led Me to unite Myself to all of you in the Eucharistic mystery, with even greater reason it led Me to unite Myself to My Mother in a perfect communion, unique in all the history of humanity. I confirm to you that she lives by Me, by My divine nature, as I live by her, by her human nature. Therefore, it is logical that where I am, she also is. Even more, it is through the very necessity of the nature of love. My Mother not only accepted the sacrifice of the cross, consummated in that historical moment, but she has also accepted the sacrifice of the cross in its extension in time.
Her love would not have been perfect if it were not thus. Therefore, her presence in the Holy Mass is just as real as on Calvary. The offering of myself to the Father united to Me, to My offering, is truly real. Her Fiat on Calvary is truly real, just as it is on the altar, for the remission of your sins. If it were not thus, she would not be perfectly one with Me; Co-redemptrix. She was, is and will be a Co Redemptrix with Me in her perfect communion, just as I will be in communion with all of you in eternity. For now, united by means of the mystery of faith, for those who believe and live it. And in eternity it will be a perfect communion in the reciprocal interchange of My donation and of yours, in the glory of Paradise. »
§70 ~ Take up your cross
«Why, My son, do so many Christians and also so many priests not want to penetrate, believe in, and live these sublime,divine realities?They are too distracted to do so. They are totally immersed in their small and transitory daily affairs. But if they became occupied with these realities, what great splendors of light would penetrate the darkness thatsurrounds their souls, their families, their nations, and My very Church! What a shower of graces My opened Heart would pour upon them! How many souls would be snatched from the path leading to hell!
How much joy they would give to My merciful Heart, so atrociously embittered! If the so-called good souls understand nothing or almost nothing, of the motive of their creation and of their redemption; if even many of My very priests consider the prodigies of My love as trifles of little importance, it figures that they, My ministers, the administrators of the fruits of My Redemption, are very far from living them. If consecrated souls, men, and women religious, often live by a superficial piety, formalism based on a materialist conception of life, then with all this, you can understand and imagine the state of spiritual life in My Mystical Body. I have come to bring fire upon the earth, and it is necessary that this fire should burn in souls. So that this may be realized, there are no alternatives; the path is the same for all, particularly for consecrated souls: “He who wishes to follow Me, let him take up his cross and deny himself.” To no one have I promised a paradise on earth. It is necessary to be convinced that earthly life is a test, a trial, and one can pass this test only by coming after Me. Son, he who obstinately shuts himself out from My love, will awaken before the rigor of divine Justice. »
§71 ~ Therese of the Child Jesus
«Today is celebrated the feast of a small and great soul: Therese of the Child Jesus. Priests and all consecrated souls should be inspired by this soul. What is the secret of her rapid and vertiginous ascent to the high summits of sanctity, and of perfection? Her humble, simple, persevering and most sensitive correspondence to each impulse of My Grace.
At the bottom of everything is humility: “I give you thanks, O Father, because you have hidden these things from the great and the wisdom of the earth, and have revealed them to the humble, and to the simple. If you do not become like the little ones, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.” Therese by her humility and by her generosity, deserved to be the depositary of the secrets of My merciful Heart, and traced a new way to all consecrated souls. Traveling by this path, she advanced rapidly, and in a short time arrived at the summit of the holy mountain.
They are totally in error, those who consider her a fragile, affected saint, worthy of being imitated only by weak souls. Therese was heroically strong and generous in her love for Me, to such an extent that she did not grant anything to herself, much less to the world or to Satan. Unfortunately, there are not very many souls about whom the same can be said.
My son, I bless you. Love Me great. »
October 5, 1975
§72 ~ The third way
Jesus: «Son, how many times I have asked for the conversion of many priests of Mine, wrapped in a mistaken vision of the priestly life. The principle of every conversion is humility. Pride is an insuperable wall that raises itself between the soul and God; the soul needs to lower itself in order to be afterwards, raised toward God. Pride keeps many priests far from Me, and it harvests among them many victims for hell. Although the opinion of many persons does not agree with this, God’s; ‘My very own’ affirmation, it is the irrefutable reality. It is said that there are two ways that lead to salvation: innocence and penitence. But I say to you that there is another, a third, that is the shortest and just as secure as the other two: that of love. The way of innocence has been traveled by the multitude of little human angels. They are the little children surprised by death before sin has touched them. With them there are also other souls, whose humble, persevering, and generous correspondence to the impulses of My grace have conserved and preserved them from every contagion of evil.
At the end of their earthly path, they arrived in heaven with the splendor and immaculate whiteness of snow. In Paradise all these souls form a heavenly choir that sings hosannas to the three holy God. The second way is that of penitence, necessary for all those who unfortunately, in various measures, passed through the difficult and bitter experience of sin: “If you do not do penance, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.”The sinners are very numerous, but not all of them place themselves upon the way of penitence. You do not know nor understand the reason for this, for only God searches the unfathomable abysses of the human heart. No human creature, not even the most wayward, is totally negative; in all men there is always some good and some evil, in different proportions. I, God, give the grace sufficient to everyone to be saved, but not all know how to receive it. Not all know how to make it a treasure. There are other reasons why it happens thus, and My priests cannot ignore this without betraying their vocation.
Are not priests My co-redeemers? Are they ignorant of this fundamental fact of the priestly life? Perchance have they forgotten My infinite suffering for souls? Do they no longer know how to place their glance upon My crucified body? Do they not know that if they do not follow Me on the way of the cross, that is, of interior and exterior penitence, they annul their spiritual fruitfulness? Do not priests think about the graces that many lost souls have lacked? Do they not think that for them it is a duty of justice and of charity to work in a holy manner to save souls? They do not have time to kneel before My crucifix, to make a serious examination of conscience, to listen to My voice; if they did so, how much light would be in their souls! I recently spoke to you about the Communion of Saints, another sublimereality, another source of grace and of graces for the one who believes in it and lives by it. The fruits of My Redemption flow and should circulate in My entire Mystical Body, that is to say, the Church triumphant, suffering and militants, but they flow in the measure and proportion in which you know and desire to avail yourselves of thisCommunion. »
§73 ~ The way of love
«I still need to say some words to you about the third way, the shortest way to Paradise, that has been chosen by so many privileged souls: it is the way of love. It has not only been opened to souls in these latter times. It always existed, just as the other two; Mary Magdalene chose this way, and many other souls after her. And in these recent times it has been rediscovered; it was the preferred way of many souls and among them, Therese of the Child Jesus. My son, I have been immolated so that all of you might form only one thing between you and Me, just as I am with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Love has two dimensions: the vertical that tends toward God, and the horizontal, that tends toward neighbor. Thus, it is with Me; thus, it should be among you. This love should be placed above all the problems of your life. If it were not so, you would not be on the right way.
Love unites, love consolidates. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are Three in One.
Therefore, love is equivalent to unity, to union, and to unification. The love that unites the soul to God and to the brethren is a fire that purifies and that consumes the residue of human weakness. My Spirit is love that warms, that illuminates and that purifies; it breaks through the shadows of human weakness that lodge in the soul. Love is also a strength and a power, like iron, welded to cement; these two natures melt themselves and are transformed into an unbreakable block, against which he who desires to destroy it knocks in vain. Thus, human, and divine love, fused together, unite souls to God and among themselves so as to form such a solid and compact block, that the forces of evil knock in vain against it. Son, try to imagine My Mystical Body the way it should be: a powerful block formed by all its members united to the Head, againstwhich no earthly or infernal force could even inflict a scratch. The Church of the future times, purified and regenerated, will be this granite body, that no one will be able to scratch.
The plans and ways of God are very different from your plans and your ways. »
§74 ~ Silence egoism
«I insist on the need of wielding the axe. If the various local churches wish to receive the signs of the times with sagacity and wisdom, they should revise and reorganize everything in the two dimensions of love. It is time to silence egoism, to silence ambitions, envies, jealousy, and resentments. It is time to come out of the clouds thatsurround you. It is time to get rid of the heavy burden of materialism, whether Marxist or Capitalist; both one and the other are poisonous and fatal. It is time for many priests of Mine, contaminated by this poison of materialism, to reflect and to be converted, if they do not want to perish. So the ways to reach God, to realize the finality of creation and of the Redemption, and for My priests and consecrated souls in general, also the finality of their vocation, are three. The three are important and eminently good, for in the three, the essential element is always present: love, although with different colors and brush strokes. My son, make known to all My priests that there is no more time to lose. For the good it is a duty imposed by charity, to pray and make offerings, on behalf of the lukewarm and of the souls separated from Me. They are wavering between the snares and seductions of a world that is not Mine but Satan’s, and the remorse of their suppressed conscience, that still gives signs of life, for those consciences are oppressed with a weight that they do not want to carry. And bless you. Love Me great. »

§75 ~ Satan, the evil one
Jesus: «My son, when I enter into a soul, faith vibrates, love burns, and hope is alive. But when a soul is sleepy and drowsy, then divine life is corroded by envy, by jealousy and by hatred, and with evil contrivances it seeks and finds means to throw water upon the fire of love. Love can be compared to a burning fire place, and you know the effect that water thrown upon it produces: it puts the fire out, the heat vanishes, and a column of dark smoke arises, leaving only black coals. This happens to the loving soul, when it is under the action of Satan, if it does not defend itself from his perfidious action. There remains nothing of the love and of the fire, of the heat and of the light that burned in one’s heart; and a thick cloud of smoke surrounds the soul, leaving only black coals, and thus the soul remains darkened under the action of sin. Son, nowadays there are few souls who are conscious of the dangerous cunning and snares of the Evil One, for almost no one believing in them now, and no one tries to defend himself, with the exception of a few. Thus, the malign one can harvest numerous victims, including those among My priests. The ignorance of those who do not believe, the barren spaces stripped of faith, the lack of preparation for the battle, inexperience in the means of defense and total abandonment in the fight, all give the enemy very numerous victories. Poor inexperienced souls, and not only of the simple faithful, but also of many of My ministers. Because of the character imprinted on their souls, for the power with which they have been endowed, and through the authority that clothes them, they should conduct legions of spiritual soldiers toward splendid and shining victories against Satan and his darksome perfidious legions. What should one do in order to defend oneself?
1. Believe in the existence of the enemy. If many of the militant believers and with them many priests, do not believe in him, they cannot fight him.
2. Know the power and the force of the enemy and also know one’s own force and power.
3. Know his methods of fighting, his cunning, his seductions, and at the same time be conscious of one’s own means and arsenal and desire to use them. It is clear that if one ignores the trap that the enemy has set, he cannot take care of himself or defend himself from it, but if he has knowledge of what his enemy will do, he will take the due precautions; he will not only dispose himself to defend but also to attack. »
§76 ~ The greatest enemy
«Son, almost nowadays all Christians ignore their greatest enemy: Satan, and his diabolic legions. They do not know him whodesires their eternal ruins. They ignore the great amount of evil that Satan does to them. They do not know that in the face of this evil, the greatest and most grave human misfortunes are petty and trivial.
They do not know that it is a matter of the only and most important thing in life: the salvation of one’s own soul. In the face of this tragic situation stands the indifference and at times, the incredulity of many of My priests; and also, the lack of awareness of many others who do not attend to their principal duty, which is that of instructing the faithful, of making themaware of the dangers of this tremendous fight that has been waged since the dawn of humanity. They do not take any care to educate the faithful in the efficacious use of the means of defense, that are numerous and that are at the disposition of My Church. They are ashamed even to speak about it; they fear they will be considered old fashioned. As you see, it is a matter of true veneration for human respect alone. You know that if in an army, an officer deserts his post of responsibility, he is given the title of traitor, and human justice persecutes him. What then can be said of what is happening in My Church? Is it not perhaps the mosttragic and terrible betrayal imposed upon souls, when they are left at the mercy, and in the hands of the enemy that desires their eternal perdition? My Vicar on earth, Paul VI, a short while ago said that in the Church there are being verified actions and happenings that cannot be humanly explained, except through the intervention of the demon.
Son, I have spoken of shadows that extinguish the splendor of My Church, but all this is more than a mere shadow. Nowadays, if the enemy is more arrogant than ever and dominates persons, families, nations, and governments everywhere, it issomething natural and logical, for he has the field; free and without opposition. To combat Satan, one needs to desire to be holy, and in order to defeat him one needs penances, mortifications, prayers; and is not all this My precept for everyone in general, and in particular for My consecrated souls? Why do they not perform the private form of exorcism?
For this, special authorizations are not needed.
Yeah! Many of My priests do not know their own identity! They don’t know who they are. They know not with what formidable power they have been endowed, and of this ignorance they are culpable and responsible. They are like officers of an army that desert their posts of responsibility, thus making themselves responsible for the chaos that follows therefrom. »
§77 ~ It is necessary to say it to the priests
«What a motive of shame it is to know that good laymen, endowed with exquisite sensitivity of faith and of ardent love for souls, exceed the indifference of many of My ministers, who do not have time for these things. They do not consider them important, but they do find time for other things. There is no time to defend one’s own soul nor the souls of those for whom one day they will have to answer before Me, from whom no one escapes, before God, who will ask an account for every idle word. These same betrayed souls are the very ones who will severely accuse them for the good not done, for the defeats they suffered, for the evil they did, due to the fact that those who should have guided them in the way of salvation, abandoned them into the hands of the enemy. I indicate with insistence the active presence of the demons in My Church, in religious communities, in convents, in parishes, in society, in governments, in parties, corporations and in nations. Where there is a way to diminish the faith, to destroy innocence, to realize a crime or injustice, to predispose an argument, to make divisions, to arouse violence or civil wars or revolutions, Satan is present. The field of action of Satan and his followers is as wide as the earth is wide. The resistance that, if well conducted could be very strong, is very meagre and totally out of proportion in relation to the forces of the enemy. Do not impute to God the responsibility of this truly tragic situation, for which all of you alone are responsible. This tremendous reality surrounds everyone: nowadays the kingdom of darkness obscures the kingdom of light. »
§78 ~ Save souls
«The kingdom of lies seems to prevail over the kingdom of truth and of justice, and it will still prevail, but only for a short time now. Divine justice will provide a remedy and will cleanse the earth, and humanity, now infected by the malign one. My most holy Mother will again occupy herself in crushing the head of Satan, but do not think that he with his legions and his innumerable allies now in the world, will renounce their kingdom without tremendous convulsions and reactions. I say all this to you so that you may be converted, may prepare yourselves and begin to pray and to do penance. The things of the earth pass away, but My words do not pass away. Only one thing is important: to save one’s soul. I bless you, My son, and with you I bless the persons for whom you pray. »

§79 ~ Rigors of Divine Justice
Jesus: Many do not become convinced of the eventuality of a great inevitable punishment.
Many doubts about it. Many others flatly deny it and say that a great punishment is to be considered as contrary to divine mercy. My apostles did not want to accept the idea of My passion and death. They did not want to accept My words.
Presumption prevented My apostles from seeing clearly, thus depriving them of the gift of My vision; Wisdom. Nowadays for many others the same thing is being repeated. I, the Word of God made flesh, being God with the Father and the Holy Spirit, have been the victim par excellence of the rigor of divine justice. Love for lost humanity determined, in the most holy Trinity, the mystery of My Incarnation, passion and death. Through the mouth of Divine Wisdom, it was said: “Propter peccata veniunt adversa.”
(Because of sins, adverse things come). Sin is a personal and social debt that both the individual and social man contracts with God. God can always ask a partial satisfaction, and I say partial, for neither an individual man nor society can cancel this debt completely, and for this reason God provided the mystery of My Incarnation, Passion, and Death. »
§80 ~ The same,indivisible thing
«To those who say with such certainness that it is not necessary to speak of punishments but only and always of divine Mercy, I answer energetically and affirm that in God, Mercy and Justice are the same and indivisible thing. I answer that no one mocks God with impunity: “Deus non irridetur”. I answer that when iniquity goes above the water-line, as you say, then divine justice will pursue its inscrutable aims. I have said and I repeat, that the cities of this incredulous and impious generation are worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. I have said that corruption has entered everywhere, that evil is extended upon earth with the force of an impetuous torrent.
Not even My Church has remained immune. Many of My priests have been contaminated. The rejection of God has never been so universal as nowadays. »
§81 ~ The cup is poured out
«My poor priests, how farsighted they are, who ignore and do not see nor understand how God, even in His anger, is always moved by a design of mercy. Why do so many priests not think about My terrible agony in Gethsemane? Why do they not think that in My bloody sweat, in the abandonment by My Father, all the rigor of divine justice weighed upon Me, His only begotten Son, for He imposed upon Me all the sins of men? This justice was always the fruit of a design of infinite mercy. Neither incredulity nor foolishness will be what will detain the arm of God from punishing the proud and arrogant humanity. My Mother has done it. The sufferings of the good and the innocent, and the heroic offering of victim souls, have been able to mitigate and defer the punishment already decreed. But now the cup is poured out, the measure (the tide of sins), is overflowing to a point impossible to swallow, or contain, or to sweep under the carpet. The collapse is now in progress, although blindness prevents men from seeing the prelude to the immense catastrophe. Meanwhile, divine mercy, that many of My priests do not know how to conciliate with justice, has put into movement the numerous manifestations for a purified and regenerated Church, upon new structures, and also for a newly made humanity, freed from all the madness of human pride. Mercy and justice passing together, will both make their own path. Son, say it. It is urgent to dispose souls to prayer, to penitence and to conversion.
Have confidence! God, even in His justice, is always love, an all His action is always directed by love. And bless you. Love Me, and correspond with your love, for the offenses and for the ingratitude of the so many so called followers of Mine. »

§82 ~ The path is one way only
Jesus: «Son, many times I have indicated that “the street is one way only”. I use this term in vogue in the chaotic and corrupt modern cities of these times. A highway starts at a determined point, it goes through plains and mountains, between two edges that determine its width, and it ends at another point, the final goal. Well, My son, the life of every man is like a highway. It has its beginning point and its final goal. Each man has his path to run, marked out from all eternity. But man, among all the creatures of the earth, is the only creature that is free and intelligent, capable of distinguishing between good and evil, and of wanting it or rejecting it. Therefore, man is so great that he is similar to God. All the other creatures living on earth, in contrast to man, are obliged by their very nature to a fixed way of being. They are not allowed to leave and take different paths from those assigned to them by their Creator. Man, a marvelous creature by virtue of hisintelligent will, is free to accept the path traced out by God his Creator for him, who facilitates his achievement and the arrival at the final goal: the eternal salvation of his soul.
It is something monstrous and strange when man uses this gift, that raises him above every other living being upon earth, in order to reject the path of his earthly exile and to take dark and tortuous pathways that lead him to ruin and to eternal perdition. It is strange, for man has knowledge of his fall and of the seductions and cunning with which Satan, the prince of lies, surrounds, and seduces him. Indeed, Satan can weaken the freedom of man, but he cannot destroy it, unless man himself helps him. But in whatever way it happens, the deflection of man is not justified, for I, the Word of God made flesh, have given a remedy for his weakness, offering him the precious fruits of My Redemption, whenever he wants to benefit from it, accepting and taking possession of these fruits. But if man takes another path and thus rejects God, he condemns himself. »
§83 ~ My way
«Nowadays men have abandoned Me, the Way, the Truth and the Life, the straight and secure way, and have taken the way traced out by Satan, which is a coarse and false copy of that of God. If they are not converted, they will not be saved, notwithstanding the foolishness of the sowers of cockle in My vineyard, who havemultiplied like locusts, injuring souls with their heresies. They are like incarnate demons, corroded by vanity and pride. Their writings are no less harmful than pornographic books and are present everywhere, in seminaries, in convents, in schools. Their poison is death dealing, and they harvest victims, especially among the young. The path of every man begins in the maternal womb and the point of arrival is bodily death, that determines the judgment without appeal, after which man begins eternal life, blessed or miserable, according to how he used his free will. I, the Word of God, begotten from all eternity by the Father, incarnated in the fullness of time in the most pure womb of My Mother and yours, am gloriously present at the right hand of the Father, and I am always in your midst in body, blood, soul and divinity, in the mystery of faith and of love. I also desired to run My path upon earth in one way only, just like all other men. The beginning point was My virginal conception in the womb of My Mother; My point of arrival, the cross, and bodily death.
I, the Way, have realized My course upon the earth for you, so that each one of you, following Me, would be helped on his path, and would not have doubts or uncertainty, nor would he lose his direction. My path is one way only (this means that it does not allow detours nor returns). My path is good and secure for every man of good will; it begins with an act of infinite humility. »
§84 ~ Infinite humility
«The Incarnation of Myself, the Son of God, was an act of infinite humility, so that it might be known by all men, that humility is the basic virtue, the secure and essential foundation of any other virtue. It would be sufficient if so many pseudo-theologians would meditate a little upon this divine reality: I was born in a grotto, utterly poor, in a miserable manger, among cold and humidity; I began My path in the world in the most abject poverty. What do they think, those who say they are My followers, who favor the consumer civilization? What are My priests thinking about? What do some theologians think about this, who love to write poisoned books with sophisms and complicated arguments, forgetting the divine simplicity of My Gospel?
I am a God infinitely simple, and I love simplicity. These theologians, who love comfortable apartments and homes with heating, never think that their Savior was born in a manger without any possessions that men tend to pursue. They do not see the strident contrast between My life and theirs and of the Christianity of today, covetous of riches and luxuries, who do not want to renounce anything, not even illicit things. These are indifferent egotists, despisers of God, deaf to all calls of My Vicar, ready to oppose his words, for they do not feel any movement that arouses truth. These priests of Mine do not realize (and not all are from the lower part of the hierarchy), the mud that they are throwing at My Church. They have forgotten the words of My apostle Paul: “The anger of God is manifested from heaven against all iniquity and injustice of men, who detain the truth with injustice; in effect, that which is known of God is manifest in them.” I, the Word of God made flesh, manifested it clearly with the path that I traversed upon earth, with humility, poverty, and obedience, with the most atrocious suffering, with love for My Father and for My brethren. Let everyone read: Christianity, priests and bishops; let them read well My words, transmitted to all of you by means of Paul in the Epistle to the Romans: “When they knew God, they have not glorified Him as God or given thanks.” (Rom. 1:16-25). »
§85 ~ Pride and presumption
«Perchance are the Christianity of today better than the pagans of twenty centuries ago? Can it be claimed that the Christians of today will be saved from divine anger, if they haveabandoned the path, in order to become lost on the darksome and tortuous pathways of the most vile passions ever lusting for newinnovations of self-indulgence? They want to suppress My truth and bury it under the abyss of their pride and of their presumption. Is not this what the false prophets are doing, propagators of a neo Protestantism worse than the first, hidden behind the mask of a loathsome hypocrisy?
They have chosen other ways that are not Mine, other foot-paths that are not Mine. They frequently approach My mercy. Until now it has been the time of mercy, but the hour of justice is about to arrive. My Father and yours will be terrible also in His justice. In their formidable blindness they would want Me to disown My life, to disown My very identity of true God and true man. Son, once more I ask you to shout thisinvitation strongly, directed to everyone, to an ‘authentic conversion.’ Do not fear the reactions that will arise. I want everyone saved, but if their obstinacy in pride does not end, they will be scattered like a handful of dust thrown to the wind. If they do not want to open their eyes to the truth, that I, the light of the world, have brought, then they will possess darkness as a result, for time and for eternity. I bless you, and with Me My Mother and Yours blesses you also. »
October 14, 1975
§86 ~ Love and Truth impel Me
Jesus: «Write, My son, what I am going to tell you: I, Jesus, the Word of God, do nothing and say nothing if I am not moved by love. I cherish an infinite love for My priests, and with even greater reason for those who wing to Me and My priesthood, have received it in plenitude.
But love cannot prevent Me from saying the truth, for I am love and I am truth. Love and truth impel Me, they impel Me to speak, so that My infinite bitterness may be known. That it may be known that the present hour, so grave and full of dark clouds that surround My Church, saddens My merciful Heart. I have already spoken to My priests, and now the moment arrives for Me to direct Myself with due decorum but also with clarity and firmness, to the successors of My apostles. Among the Bishops of My Church there are some truly good and holy ones, for whom I cherish love and benevolence. However, others have an extreme need to re-visit, revise and re-examine their position, for great is their pastoral responsibility. It is urgent that they do it soon and seriously with great humility, with the light of My Gospel, with the light of the shining pathway traced out by Me for all men, and first of all for those men who should be teachers, pastors, and safe guides for others. My path on earth had its beginning in the womb of My Mother and yours also, when she pronounced her Fiat. Its beginning was and is a mystery of infinite goodness: a God Who becomes flesh.
My arrival into the world was sealed with extreme poverty, in a bare grotto, cold and humid, and in a manger. Likewise, My path on earth had its beginning in the most abject poverty, and poverty was the companion ofMy entire human life. Work, prayer, obedience “usque ad mortem” (unto death), were the course of My path. I am the way for all men of all times. I cannot change; I am immutable.
Even if the conditions, the usages and customs of the people, the circumstances may change and be varied, I cannot change. »
§87 ~ The duty of going first
«The Bishops, as being first, have the exalted duty of going first, of preceding their priests and Christians on this way, if they want to be followed by them. Therefore, I desire this message to be given to all Bishops, for among them there are not lacking those who have an urgent necessity of re-examining themselves with humility and reforming their pastoral methods without hesitation. Son, a comparison is enough: a comparison between My life on earth, with all its examples by which I sealed My earthly course of time, and their form of life or life-style. Everything necessary will be seen with clarity, and not for a few Bishops, it will be necessary to pull up by the roots and cut down inexorably, with firmness and courage, this so-called life-style. The fact of Bishops who oppose, and of prelates rebellious to the directives of My Vicar on earth, is not a mystery. They have not evaluated the scandal given and the evil they have done. It is one thing to discuss with due reserve, and another very different thing, to publicly take a position against My Vicar, with the presumption of an open and public disobedience. What has inspired the behavior of these Bishops? Certainly not My example. I, God, obeyed human creatures and My Heavenly Father, even unto death, but they? My son, there are not lacking Bishops more or less conscious and responsible for the crisis that afflicts the Church because of their inexplicable and unjustifiable weakness. Their weakness has certainly not served to destroy the desertion of thousands of consecrated souls. Goodness and paternity are not to be confounded with weakness, which is the cause, in part, of the laxity in which so many priests find themselves. Goodness, paternity, and love are not to be confounded with license, the cause of so many evils and scandals, of which not a few pastors of souls become accomplices, although at times unwillingly. Can a Bishop tolerate the fact that in his seminary there are heretics, yes, heretics, to whom he is entrusting such a delicate task as that of forming the souls of the priests of tomorrow? Do not the Bishops know that truth is love, and that I am Truth and Love, and that heresies and errors come from another source, extremely different from Me? »
§88 ~ Humility and poverty
«Son, you are to say to the Bishops that I have also asked them to follow Me in the way of the cross. Remind them that I have begun My way on earth with infinite humility and poverty.
Upon earth I was the poor man among the poor.
Can this be said of most of the Bishops? Another great danger for Bishops is presumption.
Impeccability has not been given even to My Vicar. Infallibility has been given to My Vicar, as the teacher of the nations, in so far as he is the depositary of My doctrine; but Bishops in particular are not infallible. Only when in total union with My Vicar do they participate in this gift of his and make it fruitful. Some of My Bishops have forgotten this, and even some cardinals, giving great suffering to My Mystical Body. My way is sealed with suffering. If the crossthat they wear on their breast is not carried beforehand upon their back, it is turned into hypocrisy. My way is sealed with poverty. With what right can a Bishop sleep peacefully in his comfortable and sometimes luxurious residence, when he knows that among hispriests are some who lack what is necessary? Son, if all the injustices were seen! How many wounds in My Mystical Body! In the context of this message, that will arouse reactions and that will be rejected by those who have not had the courage of a humble confrontation with My simple and luminous way, I want also to affirm that in My Church there are good and holy Bishops , to whom is directed all the benevolence and love of My merciful Heart. But this is not enough! I desire all the successors of My apostles to be good, evenmore, I want all of them to be holy, with a strong, heroic, generous and valiant holiness.If it is not like this, then how can they defend their flock from the ravenous wolves? The Bishop is a standard-bearer; he should precede everyone; he should go forward in front of everyone. How could I remain silent, in relation to the most grave omission on behalf of many Pastors in this terrible deformation of their pastoral duty? In reality, no one, not even simple Christianity, much less priests and Bishops, can escape the fearful devastation wrought by Satan and by all the powers of evil, in order to introduce, contaminate, infest, and dominate the souls of the redeemed. Satan, incarnating himself in homicidal materialism, has not only darkened the faith but has also suffocated and destroyed it in hundreds of millions of souls in the Christian and non Christian world. Now it should be known by everyone that in order to conquer in this battle, the initiatives of an external nature and character are not useful at all, but only those indicated by Me with My words and My example. »
§89 ~ The fight against Satan
«Now, My son, I repeat for the Bishops what I already told you for the priests: What a waste of time and of means, are the meetings, committees, and discussions that other cases are turned into means of confrontation, arguments, and divisions! They meet many times in order to eat and to discuss, and very few times in order to pray. It is necessary to combat Satan and the forces of evil, and his forces are overcome with prayer and with penance. All the calls that My Mother made, were directed precisely for this purpose!
Repeated calls that fell into a vacuum, because of an excessive, irritated, and exasperated prudence that degenerated into grave imprudence. These interventions of Myself and of My Mother should have been considered with greater attention and solicitude and with fewer prejudices and fears. I return to the grave omission, due to the Bishops, and together with them also to many priests, for not having taken adequate and suitable means, organized with faith and wisdom, to detain and even more, to annul, the forces of evil. The central, fundamental problem has not been faced: the battle against the forces of evil, that is to say, against Satan and his legions, who fought well, because he found himself before an opponent who was spiritually unarmed.
There are not very many who do penance, or those who pray as they should to pray. Interior and exterior mortification, penance? Today, who is training the confirmed faithful, My soldiers, for this battle? If they do not even have the courage to say that the Enemy exists, that the Enemy is a tremendous reality, that it is necessary to fight the Enemy with specific weapons, for example, the holy Rosary. The holy Rosary used in this way is a formidable weapon. It is a most grave omission on behalf of the Bishops and the priests, not to have promoted the Confraternities of the Blessed Sacrament, or of the holy Rosary, the Pious Unions, and other institutions important in past times for limiting the destructive action of Satan he souls. What are they waiting for, in order to fill up this grave vacuum of prayer?
I would even guide them through other initiatives, if they had a faith to ask Me. Satan can be combatted only with the weapons used by Me and transmitted to My Apostles. »
§90 ~ Spiritual mobilization
«What major commander, in his plans of defense and of attack, does not include a plan for mobilizing his arsenal? In My Church this has not happened. I speak here of spiritual weapons. It is urgent to promote and form groups of prayer and truly spiritual formation in all parishes. Let not the Pastors of souls lose themselves in useless discussions and consultations; let them call their priests around them and let them together take adequate means. I repeat that it is urgent to do this. I repeat it, notwithstanding what those who are blinded by their foolishness may think, and who do not believe in the Justice of God. I bless you, My son. Don’t worry; cast forth the seed and offer your suffering, so that at least some of it may fall upon good soil. »
October 15, 1975
§91 ~ Crisis of faith
Jesus: «Many of you are asking why certain things are happening in the world and especially in My Church. I, Jesus, give you the answer. My Vicar has already given it to you many times. Read his discourses in these recent years, and you will verify with what clarity the Pope has answered this question; and in spite of this, many continue asking it. My Vicar’s answer is My answer, but all of you are still in darkness. For this reason, I intervene personally with this message. He who transmits it to you is a simple instrument that I have chosen for this mission. The evil that the Church and the world suffer from is the crisis of faith! What does ‘crisis of faith’ mean? It means a crisis of hope, a crisis of love. It means a crisis of wisdom, of prudence, of fortitude, of justice, and of temper. A crisis of obedience, of purity and of patience, of piety and of benignity. It means a crisis of hunger and thirst for God. It means a crisis of repentance, of humility and of mortification.
These are the evils that the Church suffers, its Passion Week; and Passion Week precedent Holy Week. You can synthesize all these evils in the crisis of ‘faith, hope and charity.’ It can be simplified even more in only two words: a crisis of ‘interior life’, and even more, in one word only: a crisis of ‘ grace.’ »
§92 ~ Crisis of grace
«Grace is a participation in My divine Life by the soul. Grace is the soul of the soul. I, Jesus, am one with the Father and the Holy Spirit; we are three persons in one. You have been created to the image and likeness of God. One is your soul, but three are its faculties: intelligence, memory and will, but you resemble Me not so much because of this, but rather because of the supernatural life, that is to say, by grace or the divine life of the Triune God, which informs your intelligence, memory and will respectively. Man was created in grace. I, the eternal Word of God, came into the world to bestow upon you again the lost life of grace, by means of My Passion, Death and Resurrection.
Just as I, God, am the Being that is infinitely simple, thus you, made to My image, are simple in your souls. Your souls do not consist of various compartments, but of one only, in which reside faith, hope, and love, just as in Me there reside love, mercy, truth, justice, wisdom and any other attribute; all in perfect harmony and oneness. I am pure Being; I am God. If man finds himself in the ‘crisis of faith’, then hope, prudence, justice, fortitude, piety, temperance, love of God, fear of God, are also in crisis. The lack of all this in the human soul, which means the absence of God, has provoked the tremendous crisis that all of humanity now suffers. ‘Materialism’, the incarnation of Satan through his deceitful propaganda, is the absence of God in the human soul. God is love, light and justice. He is hope and wisdom. He is fortitude. He is piety, temperance and any other virtue and perfection… and ‘materialism’ starves all of them of their rights in the human soul. It destroys the soul’s esteem for all that is heavenly and divine. »
§93 ~ A ridiculous imitator of God
«My children, never has such a universal crisis of faith seized and overcome all of humanity.
Satan, the ridiculous imitator of God, provoked this dreadful obscurity in souls, with the co operation of all of you. I spoke to you of Passion Week, and I said that Passion Week precedes Holy Week. You know everything that happened in Holy Week. I proclaim this to all of you, so that you may dispose of yourselves and prepare your souls, leading a life of repentance. You all have motives for repenting. I have told you, so that you may prepare yourselves spiritually, so that in the moment of the severe trial I may find you with your lamps burning. Woe to those who do not have their lamps burning. Woe to them, for they will not repent, and they will perish!
Although I am infinite and immutable love, I tell you that the time of mercy is about to yield to the time of justice, because the call to repent is the voice of mercy, and to reject conversion from the world’s way, away from its mammon , and Satan its artificer, in spite of the grace and support I have spent My humanity in acquiring for you all, is the rejection of mercy. For your consolation I want to remind you ofMy words: “Cum exaltatusfuero a terra, omnia traham ad me ipsum” (When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all toward Me). My great triumph is the Cross. With the Cross I conquered the world. With the Cross My beloved soulstriumph – just like Me. With the Cross My Church will triumph. The Cross will defeat the Serpent, and My Mother will crush his head again. I, Jesus, the Savior, will again be the light that is now oppressed and extinguished in so many souls, even in those of My priests. Again, I will be the light of the world. My children, you are asking why you do not have vocations. It is because of the crisis of faith. Where the Church is on the cross with Me, vocations are not lacking. Reflect! You have many motives to do so, and do not forget that I began My way on earth with an act of infinite humility. Without humility there is no conversion. And bless you. »
October 18, 1975
§94 ~ It is urgent to act quickly
Msgr. Octavio: «Dear Jesus, if you wish to speak, speak to me. Help me to hear Your voice and fulfill your desires in me. » Jesus: «Yes, My son, it is I, Jesus, the eternal Word of God begotten from eternity by the Father, made flesh in the fullness of time in the most pure womb of My Mother and yours also, gloriously present in Paradise at the right hand of the Father, truly present in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the mystery of faith and love. »
Msgr. Octavio: «Then, last night, were you displeased, for you kept silent and did not answer my repeated questions? » Jesus: «Well, My son. » Msgr. Octavio: «Jesus, I would like to ask you one thing. ‘Am I not speaking too much about the proximity of the tremendous hour of your Justice? » Jesus: «No, My son, continue proclaiming it. I want it. I desire it, and from My messages themselves, you will realize that it is urgent to do it quickly. » Msgr. Octavio: «But Jesus, they will say that I am crazy. » Jesus: «How many times have I not told you that you should not worry about anything, nor about what others think of you? How many times did My enemies censure Me as crazy?
Herod clothed Me in the garment of a madman and made Me walk through the streets of Jerusalem. And did they not want to take Don Bosco, and so many others to the lunatic asylum? Perchance, were not all the saints considered more or less, as crazy? » Msgr. Octavio: «Yes, but the comparison cannot be applied to me. You speak of Yourself and of Don Bosco, but I, Jesus… » Jesus: «You are the “little drop of water that falls downward.” Can I not take it and do with it what I desire? Was it not you yourself who said that you wanted to be like an instrument in My hands that was entirely docile? Son, I choose whom I will, when and how I will. I used Balaam, and the prophet Jonah. The latter said it would be better to die than to proclaim My message. He was obstinate, but he did go to Nineveh. I chose you because of your nothingness. It will be easier to convince them that it is I who speak, in one who has given himself to Me entirely, so I may do what I wish. Or have you repeated of yourself giving to Me? » Msgr. Octavio: «Well, well! I have not repented. I desire what You desire. » Jesus: «Son, I bless you, and with Me the Father and the Holy Spirit bless you, and with us My Mother and Saint Joseph also bless you.
And together with you, we bless all those for whom you pray. Remember that this blessing is a wall of protection and a shield of defense.
Love Me as much as possible. »
October 20, 1975
§95 ~ Holy priests
Jesus: «My son, write: There are three categories of priests: There are holy priests, good priests, and truly good ones who live My divine life in union with Me. They are illuminated with wisdom, guided in their pastoral fatigues by the Holy Spirit. They follow My teachings, communicated to them by My Vicar on earth, the Pope. They are animated and vivified by the love that is a fire that purifies, illumines, warms, and transforms them into Me and unites them to Me, as I am united to the Father. They work diligently, and they fulfill their priestly ministry, bringing souls to Me by means of prayer, with their offering and with suffering. They are very beloved by My Merciful Heart and by My Mother, and yours also, and they are the object of My predilection. The humility that animates them has drawn upon them the merciful look of Myself, the Word of God, and of the Father and of the Holy Spirit. Through them, and through their piety, many punishments have been averted from men, and they have assured them of My protection. A place and a crown await them in Paradise. »
§96 ~ Disoriented priests
«The second category is that of the disoriented ones. They are those who have in their hearts more esteem for the things of earth than for those of God, and there are so many, many of them, My son. They have time for everything;
for their human affections and attachments.
They have time for their distractions, for looking at things that are harmful to their souls, and that increase the spiritual darkness in them.
They have very little time to pray, to meditate.
Their life is not a life of union with Me, their God. They are lacking the gift ofWisdom: they neither see nor understand; they have ears and do not hear; they have eyes and do not see.
They live a ‘formalism’ that leads them to a practice of Christian life that is empty of true spiritual value, without the life of grace.
Among all these, desertions and subterfuges have been numerous, and great will be the number of desertions and true apostasies in the not-too-distant hour of justice. In that hour many will reveal to the entire world their identity of Judas. I say, “to the world,” for I already know them from eternity. »
§97 ~ The Father awaits them
«I love priests constantly. I desire their conversion. The Father awaits them. I have only one desire: to tell each priest, “Come, My son; everything is forgotten. Let all the rubbish of your soul be consumed by My Love!” But precisely because I love you, I cannot hide from you the tremendous responsibility of resisting Me, who awaits you, of resisting God, who loved you to the point of shedding his blood for you. The sick man who rejects the physician and medicines is destined to perish. Therefore, I wish to approach you through all possible means, and I make this invitation to conversion before it is too late. The instrument that I make use of now is priests, who received the order of shouting loudly to everyone: “Be ye converted to the Lord your God, before it is too late.” I repeat: the hour of mercy is about to yield to the hour of justice. Don’t cry out against My insistence. Do not say: “It is the monotony of repetition.” I am your God, your Father; I am your Brother; I am your Saviour.
Love is the only thing that impels God to beg you, to supplicate you: “Be converted before it is too late. If not, you will perish.” “Deus non irridetur.” (God is not mocked). It is the astuteness of your enemy, Satan, that makes all of you believe that divine justice is dead.
Mercy and justice are in Me a single, unique thing. Is so much blindness possible? »
§98 ~ Satan’s poison
«The third category comprises priests who in their interior consider themselves to be good.
They live as if they were good, but a veil covers them, the veil of their presumption, by which they do not see their interior reality, and although this is frequently unperceived by other people, it is never so by Me, who am God . In other words, they lack truth and sincere humility, this humility that should make each one of you; a child. Because every man, even if he is a hundred years old, before Me, his God, is still a child. They lack the simplicity of humility, and to them My Father reveals nothing. Their conversion is difficult; their pride is refined, clothed with humility, but beneath this pseudo-humility is the poison of Satan, exactly as certain jewels appear precious, but underneath the gold plating is a coarse metal. They believe only in themselves;
they scorn others and cannot bear that anyone else should seem to be a little better than they are. In many ways Satan sets his traps for My priests. It is also necessary to pray for these priests and to suffer, for their conversion is difficult. But enough for now, My son. I see that you are tired. I bless you, and with Me My Mother and Saint Joseph bless you. »

§99 ~ Who are the Bishops?
Jesus: «Bishops are those whom I, the eternal Priest, have called, to make them participants of My eternal priesthood. The Bishops are the successors of My Apostles; the Bishops are the leaders of the local churches. The Bishops, headed by My Vicar on earth, form the apostolic college. The Bishops, united to the Pope, are the depositaries, the custodians, those who spread My divine word and who defend it: “Go ye, and preach My Gospel to all nations.” The Bishops, with the Pope, are the administrators of the fruits of redemption, and since they are participants of the fullness of My priesthood, they should all possess the gift of wisdom. I have said they should possess it, but unfortunately it is not thus, and those who possess it, possess it in various degrees, just as light does not always have the same intensity. One is the light of the sun at noonday, another the clarity that comes from the moon, another that of a lamp, and another that of a candle. Perhaps has the Holy Spirit been partial? Well, My son! The degree of wisdom is in relation to the degree of correspondence to the impulses of grace.
Those who with attentive and vigilant sensitivity have responded generously, bravely and at times heroically and with perseverance, to the impulses of grace, not letting it fall into a vacuum, are filled with wisdom. He who corresponded less, received less. If some do not possess it, that means that they have truly not permitted entrance to the Holy Spirit, with their presumption and pride, the root of all evils. »
§100 ~ Simple-minded presumption
«Son, My Apostles, during the three years they lived with Me, did not make much progress on the path of perfection. The reason? The simpleminded presumption with which their spirit was covered. Their foolish questions directed to Me on various occasions confirm this, with the exception of the beloved Apostle, for his pure, simple, and humble spirit made him extremely pleasing to Me and to the Holy Spirit, who enriched him with the gift of wisdom, even before Pentecost. After My resurrection I appeared to My Mother, to Magdalene, to Lazarus, to the disciples of Emmaus and to others, and I did not do this immediately to My Apostles, who were thus humiliated, and who repented and who remained somewhat displeased. This served lesson to make them enter into themselves; it served to induce them to reflect upon the gravity of their flight, upon their not very honorable behavior during the time of My Passion. The simple-minded presumption with which their spirit was covered was the cause of the deep slumber of which they were the prey. They were not vigilant, and thus they gave entrance to the Enemy, who overcame them. During the forty days that preceded My Ascension, I evacuated their pride. I prepared them for the separation of the Ascension, and above all I prepared them to make their souls well-disposed to the action of the Spirit of wisdom. I conferred upon them the priestly power, that culminated with the fullness of My priesthood on Pentecost. »
§101 ~ Unceasing crusade
«Presumption is like an unsurmountable wall, that is erected between God and the soul.
Among the Bishops those who are infected with it, will never admit that I chose you, the little drop of water, lifted up, a drop that falls downward, for the realization of this; My design of love. Why do not many Pastors of My flock ask themselves the reason for the sterility of their feverish activity? I already spoke of this in My preceding message directed to them, but I want to repeat it, since it is so important and decisive for their souls, and for the souls that have been confided to them, and it can never be spoken of enough .
In the Middle Ages crusades among the Christians were organized, in order to deliver My sepulchre, and certainly My sepulchre is sacred, for it harbored My most holy body.
But it is nothing more than a tomb, and niche that does not have the value of even one soul, whose price is infinite, whose price is the mystery of Redemption. The crusades enter into the mystery of salvation. They have a symbolic reason, a figurative reason. They serve to indicate the necessity of making an unceasing crusade against the Prince of Darkness and his darksome legions. Satan is a homicide in the truest sense of the word. »
§102 ~ Only purpose
«My Incarnation, My Passion and Death have as their only purpose: the delivery of souls from the deadly slavery of Satan. The engagement of My priesthood to the Bishops and to priests, has only one purpose. Making them co-redeemers of Mine in the battle against the powers of darkness, in a crusade without interruption and without rest, conducted with wisdom, intelligence and constancy, using the weapons indicated by Me.
Satan can only be overcome with My words, and above all with My example. There is no alternative. If My Church had made good use of these weapons, there would have been a very different situation today in the world.
Instead, Satan dominates, for there has been almost no opposition to his assault. To be what redeemers means (and I insist that Bishops and priests take this to heart and understand this well), to follow Me upon the secure way of humility, poverty, of suffering, of love, of obedience and of firm and stable paternity in defense of the truth, of which they, together with My Vicar, are the depositaries and guardians, in defense of justice, which is so outraged and despised . Bishops cannot ignore, even for an instant, that one is born in order to die, and that one dies in order to begin the veritable life, eternal life. One’s mind, heart and energies should be directed toward this alone, the eternal life that the Father has prepared and paid for with the humiliation of My Incarnation and of My immolation upon the cross. My Bishops and priests cannot ignore or forget the fact that the Enemy of man makes no poison, but day and night his legions direct attacks to lead souls to perdition. So, I insist; you will not triumph with exterior works, not with the heresy of action nor with other inadequate means, in the harsh battle against an Enemy much stronger and more powerful than mankind is. »
§103 ~ He should not be underestimated
«I have traced and integrated My plan of defense that the great majority did not know how to bring to completion. If they had looked at Me and followed Me on the cross, they could have acquired strength to confront and overcome their adversary, who should not be underestimated. Son, the present contradictions in My Church, the ruling anarchy, the disorder, change and perversion of doctrine and of morals, the disorientation, are not without cause.
Do you want an example? Observe the motion picture halls in parishes. In church one language is spoken, while in this motion picture hall, considered as an important structure, another, opposite language isspoken and proclaimed. In the church God is spoken of. In the parish cinemas; materialism, sensuality and violence are always divulged and depicted in detail. In the previous message I said: better to be without priests, than to transform the seminary into a nursery of heretics. Whobears the culpability for so much evil, for this chaos? An important part falls upon thosewho, having at their disposal the necessary powers, have not made use of them.
This stupidity and defiance of wisdom is tremendous. They are inactive and unarmed, in the face of the crushing attack of the forces of evil. But I have overcome the world. My Mother has crushed the head of the Serpent by her humility. Only by being united to Me in humility, in poverty, in obedience and in suffering, can one overcome the Enemy of your souls. But a quiet and tranquil life, the idolatry of one’s own self-esteem, garnering of human respect, interests, fear of losing the favor of the people, have made many absolutely blind, those who should be guides and spiritual lights for souls. What I said about parish cinemas as a means for cementing a community, can be said, unfortunately, of many other very sorrowful situations. For example: religious education in schools and catholic institutes entrusted to heretical priests. Yes! How many seeds have been worn in the souls of boys and girls of the most critical age, and not always by priests of exemplary life? It would have been better to confide this most delicate mission to good laymen, rather than to Priests who have been changed into demons, into rapacious wolves, and a much better result would have been obtained. The asperity (harshness) that so many Pastors have used to bury in silence many interventions of Myself and of My Mother in this hour of darkness, in this hour of Barabbas, could have been correctly used to confront these and much worse things and circumstances, with truly good results. Error and immorality are propagated directly or indirectly in the parish structures. Have not the Bishops understood this fundamental problem of pastoral theology? Do they not realize that they themselves have opened the doors wide to My Adversary, and that they now show that they do not recognize his astuteness, his contrivances, his snares, his power, and his seductions? Do they not realize the tremendous contradictions with which their pastoral theology is filled? The Enemy has unleashed a great battle with a universal campaign for venerating materialism, which is equivalent to his incarnation, and in his attacks, he has found only weak responses and counter-attacks. »
§104 ~ Running for cover
«My son, it is with great bitterness that I make this call, for it is urgent to put up spiritual fortifications. It is urgent to prepare souls with prayer and penitence. The hour of mercy is about to yield to the hour of justice. It is necessary to put up spiritual fortifications, preparing souls, making them more conscious of the fact that the grave hour that is about to arrive should not be imputed to My Father, but rather to their sins and to their disarmed and pathetic, spiritually bankrupt condition in the face of the forces of evil. It is necessary to work without hesitation, so that many souls will not be overcome by the obscurity and confusion of the night that is about to fall. Don’t fear; cry out strongly! Men have ears to hear and pretend not to hear. They have eyes to see and pretend not to see. The light (the love for heavenly things) has beenextinguished in their hearts. But the forces of evil will not prevail. My Church will be purified of the madness of human pride, and in the end the love of My Mother and yours also, will also triumph. I bless you, son. Pray, pray, and offer Me your sufferings. »

§105~ Contradictions in Pastoral Theology
Jesus: «Son, in the preceding message to the Bishops, I spoke of the contradictions that exist at present in the pastoral theology of Bishops and of priests. If they wish, it will not be difficult for them to accept what I said, and more importantly, afterwards, to seek the causes. Let no one permit himself to be overcome by the temptation of evading this. If they desire it with humility, I will be with them to infuse into them enlightenment and courage. I said that this time is a time for reviewing and this reviewing is urgent. It is the time to intervene with firmness, love, and prudence. Let them not permit themselves to be intimidated by the Malign One, who has become so strong and audacious, due to the lethargy into which My Church has fallen. Now it is not the case of speaking of many who profess atheism, but rather of those who are usually considered as “good Christianity.” On Sunday morning they go to church, hoping to avoid the “unending commentary” about My Word. Very few approach the sacraments with fervent faith;
many do so by force of habit or because of family routine. True conviction is so scarce, that in the afternoon they have no scruple in going to indulge in motion pictures that, if they are not pornographic, are real schools of sensuality and violence of every kind. The poison of materialism enters into everyone: into adolescents and young people like torrential rivers.
Corruption and immorality enter and are spread and propagated more universally than anything belonging to Me. All doors have been thoroughly opened by everyone, including those who say they are “good Christians,” who go to confession in the morning, knowing that during the remainder of the day they will sin again. »
§106 ~ Judges of consciences
«They know it and so do many confessors who continue to absolve everything and everyone. In the morning Holy Communion, which holy then is not, in the evening they attend dances, clubs and hangouts where the exaltation of sensuality is law. Adulterers confess already certain that there will be no lack of the priest always ready to complete them.
1. They have forgotten the clear and precise words, “a Nolite ponere margaritas ante porcos” (to Do not cast pearls before swine).
2. It was forgotten that the sacraments are the precious fruits of My Redemption.
3. They have forgotten the words by which I, Savior and Deliverer, conferred on My Apostles and Successors the power to forgive or retain sins.
4. Many priests have forgotten that they were constituted judges of consciences. And it is the function of the judge, in the exercise of his profession, to investigate crimes, the extent of crimes. The ease with which everything and everyone is always absolved does not respond to the plan of My Mercy, but to a plan of Satan. To turn the means of salvation into means of damnation is to discredit the infinite value of Grace and the means Me willed to distribute it. I told you about sacrilegious Masses, now I tell you that to the Masses you can add sacrilegious Confessions, sometimes double sacrilegious. Of sacred Communions here, son, is where the roots are. This laxity that makes the licit indistinguishable from the illicit, the good from the evil, where does it have its roots? That’s why revision without delay is urgently needed. Anarchy has entered unchallenged from the outside, even in the internal forum, so some priests are making themselves authors of new doctrines and a new morality that admits everything and approves everything. The consequences are in themselves understandable: for many priests the sixth and ninth commandments no longer have any reason to be. This is supreme pride, this is a wanting to replace God, this is not believing in God, this is not believing in the Omnipotence, Omniscience and Omnipresence of God. Satan continuously induces priests to repeat his sin of pride and disobedience. He has found faithful allies in My Church, inducing them to become his collaborators in the work of dismantling. But do Satan and these collaborators of his ignore My unchanging words, “I will be with you until the end of time and the gates of hell will not prevail”?
My Church will be purified; My Church will be set free! My love for it demands it, justice demands it, My Mercy demands it. Of this there is no right Vision. »
§107 ~ I am a fire
«Son, how many times have I not spoken of the clouds that surround My Church? Many times, and this was not by chance. On other occasions I said that love can be compared to a burning fire, capable of transforming and communicating to other things of a different nature, its own nature of emitting bright light and heat. For example, iron, by itself cold and dark, but, when a piece of iron is placed upon coals, it blazes like fire, burns like fire, and produces the effects of fire. I am the fire that came to earth to enkindle souls with My love, to penetrate them with divine life. And in order to extinguish this fire, water is used, but in the form of brutal arrogance, uncleanness, filth, pettiness, and mongering, which can only exist in the mind of one who is darkness and sin, who is hatred and rebellion. What remains of the blazing flames of My divine life, after this kind of water is thrown upon them? A few black, smoking coals. The imitator of God, the Malign One, performs and realizes all this, in opposition to God the Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier. I came to the earth in order to bring the flames of My love, to communicate to souls the heat and brightness of My Divine Love, and to make of enslaved people, children of God, My brethren, and heirs with Me of the Glory of the Father. Satan did not lose any of the strength of his will with which he was endowed, nor his original freedom. He is continuously contriving and realizing a scheme of transforming souls into black and smoking embers, heirs with him of the eternal pains of Hell. My son, they do not want to understand that the presence of man on earth is oriented toward eternal life. The earth is an exile and a battleground and a combat, not desired by God, but rather by the hatred and envy of Satan and of his diabolical legions. It can be said that he has succeeded in his attempt, which is that of convincing men that he does not exist, and of making Bishops and priests fall into a deep lethargy. So deep that they are not in the slightest aware of the contradictions in which they are submerged. But My Mother and yours will say the last word, and she will again crush with her foot the head of the cursed Serpent.
An awakening to faith, to a realistic and tragic vision of the contradictions in which they now live, a return to sincere repentance, can destroy the collapse that is now occurring.
Then it will be confusion, presumption, and pride, which will be overcome and put to flight, where the waters of grace dominate and not the waters of filth. »
§108 ~ Let no one mock
«Cry out loud, son! Let no one have illusions;
let no one mock; let’s laugh. The days are numbered! Woe to those who make themselves deaf and insensible to My calls! They have put up great resistance to My mercy! It is high time to review; it is the time to put the ax to the root;
it is time long overdue to shake off one’s lethargy; it is time to go to the battlefield and to begin the fight against your infernal Enemy. I have conquered Satan; I have conquered the world; I have conquered death. My sons, courage, the hour is grave, but being united to Me, being united among yourselves, you can be saved. It is the last opportunity that I am extending and offering to you. Means will not be lacking to you; valid means to curb, detain and limit the insolent, boastful, arrogant and impudent attacks of the Enemy. And bless you.
Offer Me your tributes; they will repay Me for the foolish and insane obstinacy of so many souls consecrated to Me. »
October 28, 1975
§109 ~ Instrument of perdition
Jesus: «I told you, when speaking of confession, that the way this sacrament is administered, does not correspond to the plan of My Mercy and of My Love, but rather is a perverse design of the Malign One. He has attempted to do everything in order to transform this sacrament, a means of resurrection and of life, into a deadly instrument of perdition, and thus the Prince of Darkness obscures this precious fruit of My Redemption. I told you that I have constituted My priests as judges of consciences, and am I not the eternal Priest? When you were called by Me, and were consecrated to Me, I made you participants in My priesthood, just as with the others I make them participants in My supernatural life with other sacraments. I am the infinitely simple being; in Me there are not distinct attributes and perfections all struggling among themselves. I am the infinitely perfect being, and in Me exist all perfections in one harmonious act. I am the eternal Priest; I am the eternal judge; I am eternal love and eternal justice; I am eternal mercy; all in one act. To Me, the Judge, is reserved the particular judgment of every man, a judgment without appeal, irrevocable, that will have its final conclusion at the last judgment, and this will be both for humanity and for the angelic nature. I, the infinitely just Judge, judge every man with justice. To be a Judge means to absolve or to condemn with justice the faults of him who sinned.
Each priest should be an upright, just, and impartial judge, and this power does not come from them, but from Me, the Eternal Judge. A great many exercise this power as if it came from them. They administer this supernatural power with a lightness, facility, carelessness, and a lack of integrity that makes those who still have a little spiritual awareness; tremble. »
§110 ~ Sacrilegious confessions
«The Mercy of God is not only great but infinite, but this does not authorize anyone to abuse it in such a shameful way. This is important, son, and therefore, I repeat it to you: “Do not change from administrators of divine justice into accomplices of the demon; from instruments of salvation into instruments of perdition.” No one can laugh at God with impunity; the words with which I instituted this means of salvation are of an unmistakable clarity: “to retain or to forgive” sins. There cannot be a valid confession without sincere repentance. There cannot be a sincere repentance without a serious and efficacious resolution of not wanting to sin again. Many confessions are null and void, and many are doubly sacred. He who confesses without having the required dispositions and he who absolves without determining that these required dispositions are in the penitent, profanes the sacrament and commits a sacrilege. This prodigiousmeans of salvation is debased, and the priest changes it into a means of perdition, who becomes an accomplice of the wicked design of Satan. He does not seek God nor the good of souls, but rather he seeks himself, in seeking human esteem, and in reality, it isterrible to prefer oneself to God. » Msgr. Octavio: «Well then, O Lord? » Jesus: «Yes, My son; it is not foolish rigor, but uprightness and justice. Why did I say to the Apostles and to their successors: “Receive the Holy Spirit; Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven, and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained?” It is evident that with these words they are asked to make a serious and balanced judgment that does not permit compromises with anyone, neither with one’s own conscience, nor with the penitent, even less with Me. »
§111 ~ Now nothing is a sin
«My son, I willingly repeat many things that should have been better impressed upon the souls of My priests, such as this focal point of modern pastoral theology; yes, everything and everyone is resolved, without any discrimination. Moreover, for many priests it is so easy to absolve, because for this generation, nothing is a sin anymore. Purity is no longer a virtue. Responsible paternity, that correctly understood is a good thing, has been turned into a case-by-case degradation of reason, for every kind of license in marital relations. With the pretext of favoring culture, and so- called human development, the most prejudicial presentations are authorized, in which the seeds of lust and of philosophical and theological errors are sown with total disregard for decency. Today the greater part of business dealing is based upon fraud and theft. Justice demands that the confessor assures himself of the certain and efficacious resolution of restoring what was stolen. So many times, the penitent is not even told of this strict duty. In the name of progress, to convince the penitent that the confessor is a “modern man,” and that he is “up to date,” both, the confessor and the penitent shut their eyes to the reality of confession. These things are passed over very much, by him who has the grave responsibility of fighting evil from its roots, always and everywhere, without poison nor rest, in order not to be overcome (as in reality many of you will be), in this obscure and tremendous hour that you are about to live through. I bless you and with Me, My Mother and Saint Joseph bless you. »
November 2, 1975
§112 ~ Frantic wickedness
Jesus: «My son, the theme about which I wish to speak about is not new. I have already spoken about it several times in preceding messages. It is about the battle that Satan has unleashed against men. Since he cannot confront Me directly, he fights indirectly, pouring his manic fury (made out of hatred, envy, and jealousy) at mankind, which is destined to fill up the vacant places left in the wake of his rebellion. Satan is called the Prince of Darkness, for his fundamental intention is that of distorting and darkening My light in souls.
1. I am Light; Satan is darkness.
2. I am Love; Satan is hatred.
3. I am humility; Satan is pride.
The war decreed by Satan against man, in his hatred toward Me, has such vast, great proportions in its horrible reality, that it has no comparison in human history. A war, in general, is formed by a series of battles.
The present battle, which is a part of the war that will continue until the end of time, is great and most formidable, and its epilogue is not distant. Its epilogue will arrive through the direct intervention of My Mother and yours, who will crush again the head of the Serpent.
She, the humble handmaid of the Lord by her humility, conquered pride, and arrogance, and will conquer it definitively at the end of time.
Satan is darkness; therefore, he does not see how that is possible. His desperate pride prevents him from doing so, but nevertheless he fears the possibility of defeat in this battle, which will be for him the motive of a shameful debasement, while for My purified Church it will be the cause of a period of peace. It will also be a time of peace for the nations, who will be healed of the many evils that they now suffer from. With this purpose of causing much confusion and suffering, Satan has put into action and utilized all his potential and those of all his legions, his astuteness and all the contrivances of his corrupted nature. A corrupt nature, yes, but still rich in numerous gifts of power of intelligence and of force of will. He uses all of them in his insane daring, born and matured in him from the moment of his rebellion against Me. His aim, desired desperately and pursued tenaciously, is to destroy Me, the Christ, the Word of God made flesh, and to destroy My Church, that issued from My pierced Heart. »
§113 ~ They close their eyes
«But his insane blindness has made him fall into numerous tactical errors. His typical mistake has been that of revealing himself too much. A prudent and sagacious general never permits his plans to be seen and known by his enemies, for he knows that this would be an unpardonable carelessness, but Satan has revealed many of his cards. For this reason My Vicar on earth was able to recently say that today in the Church there are verified actions that cannot be humanly explained; in them, the direct intervention of the Prince of Darkness is evident. Nevertheless, Bishops, priests and nearly all the faithful do not see; and they do not see because they willfully (with a stubborn and determined intention to do as one wants, regardless of the consequences) close their eyes to the Light, for they have their minds and hearts covered with darkness. When My Vicar, Paul VI said: “Smoke has entered into the Church,” what did he mean? That the corruption of Satan has entered into the Church. The corruption of Satan is: “pride and arrogance.” I repeat: Satan in his insane and desperate illusion proposes for himself as his principal objective, to destroy Me from the face of the earth: Me, the eternal Word of God, and naturally with Me, to destroy My Church, that issued from My Pierced Heart. He would like to annihilate the Mystery of the Incarnation, the reason and cause of the liberation of humanity from his tyranny. With the fall of Adam and Eve, he thought that he had defeated God. He thought that he had established for himself forever; a complete dominion over the children of sin. He was convinced that with his deceit and astuteness, he had taken from God the Creator his creatures, subjecting them to his empire, which they could not oppose, in time or in eternity. But We are love, and with Our Threefold unanimous consent of our divine Persons, We decreed the Mystery of Salvation;
whence the implacable hatred of Satan against Us and against man received new impetus. »
§114 ~ The victory in his hands
«At present Satan, being darkness, does not have the correct vision of things. He is convinced that he has the victory in his grasp, and he thinks that with dramatic, horrible, and formidable convulsions; through a humanity infected with his own obsession: pride and presumption, even good people will be tyrannized into compromise, and will not be able to elude his grasp. This war will have its epilogue at the end of time. But war is a series of battles, as I said; and at present the battle taking place is the greatest, since the primordial one, fought by Saint Michael and his legions against the rebel powers. In the course of cultures many of these battles have been fought, but none of them is comparable to this present battle, in which nations and peoples of the entire world have become implied. The children of My predilection, even more than others, will be scrutinized and will become the target of a ferocious persecution, but they should fear nothing. In the hour of trial, I will be in them. I who am Wisdom, Mercy, Love and Omnipotence, will know how to destroy the darksome maneuvers and the insane pride of Satan and of his legions, to draw out of all this a triumph: My purified Church. Woe to them, My son, who refuse to see! An act of sincere humility is sufficient to allow the Light to enter into their souls. They are foolish and insensate, if they remain obstinate and resist the Love that desires to save them. Do they not know and reflect upon what they are renouncing? Do they not know and reflect upon the sudden meeting with their Creator which they are determined to delegate to being sudden? You see in all this, My son, how much darkness has been spread in My Church. The earth is a place of exile. All of humanity is on the march toward eternity. »
§115 ~ Materialism
«Materialism, the incarnation of Satan, denying and substituting for My Presence, attempts to give men a paradise here upon earth, a happiness that it does not possess and therefore cannot give. It is a tragic lie and an astute deceit, that has entrapped many Christians, priests and even Bishops in the name of progress, subverting the purpose and end of Creation and that of Redemption. Mark and reflect well, this is the reason why the last things are no longer spoken of (Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell), because now the real enemy of man is no longer spoken of, nor is sin, with which Satan is identified . Instead ‘materialism’ offers a pantheon of other enemies of man, to absorb man, and for man to be preoccupied with. Even these; so-called enemies cannot be redressed without confronting Satan and sin in the heart of man.
Some Bishops and many priests are responsible for all this. Nearly all Christians have allowed themselves to be seduced, deviating from the right path. Each man, personally, is on the march toward eternity, toward eternal joy or eternal condemnation.
Man, the prey of Satan, is in the midst of a furious battle, unleashed in order to snatch him from Me, who with a providential design became Word made flesh, descending to earth, to deliver man and thus give him again his original greatness , freedom, and dignity. To whom should it be imputed to guide man in his path and his earthly pilgrimage? My Church.
But the Prince of Darkness has spread his confusion and corruption in a formidable manner, and has corrupted men with pride and arrogance, darkening their minds and hardening their hearts. »
§116 ~ The Church is Mine
«But the Church, son, is Mine! It has issued forth from My merciful, pierced Heart. I desire My Church to be: one and holy, pure, and resplendent with My doctrine, and not divided and quartered by presumptuous theologians and by heretics, who are alwaysin opposition among themselves.
And thus, it will be, after the purification, which is now fast approaching. I have triumphed, as I said to you before, insuffering and in sorrow, and thus it will be also for My Church. I knew hours of darkness; I was acquainted with violence and humiliations of all kinds. I also cried out: “My Father, My Father, whyhave you forsaken Me?”
Many of My sons will raise this cry to heaven in the culmination of their passion. But can God, who is love, abandon his children, whom he has loved and does love from all eternity. A woman who is about to give birth, groansin the delivery, but afterwards she rejoices, for she has brought forth a son. It is time that the grain, sown in the earth, should die, to bring forth much fruit. The hour is near, in which My Church will groan beneath a ferocious and unheard of persecution, so that it may be born again one, pure, holy, and unspotted. It will be the Mother of nations, and these nations will take refuge and will seek protection under herwings in peace and in justice.
It will be the Mother and secure guide for all men of goodwill. Behold the reason I say: “It is urgent to do this soon.” I want Bishops and priests to prepare themselves in humility and in penitence and in prayer, that should be unanimous. They should not forget that My Resurrection followed after My Passion. I bless you, My son. Offer Me your sufferings. Console My Heart, pierced with the hardness and insensibility of My redeemed, of My ministers and of those whom I have called and loved as brethren and as friends. »
I AM A SINFUL MAN

§117 ~ I am a sinful man
I believe You, O my Jesus! One, with the Father and with the Holy Spirit, in the unity of nature, essence and will, in the Trinity of persons.
Jesus, please grant unto me a sensitive, immediate, generous, courageous, and persevering correspondence.
Jesus, take me by the hand, and lead me where, how, and when You want; be within me the ferment of a supernatural transformation, of purification day and night, and especially in the Holy Mass.
My Jesus, accept me as I am, so that You may make me such as You desire me to be.
Teach me Your ways, and direct me in them.
Jesus, may it be You who directs my footsteps, so that Your Will may be accomplished.
Reveal unto me, O Lord, Your thoughts, and Your desires, and help me to realize them in my daily life.
Remain within me, O Jesus, to believe and to hope, to love and to trust. Remain with me in keeping silent and accepting, in suffering and offering. Remain in me in praying and adoring, in speaking and in living in me.
My Jesus, increase within me faith, hope and charity without limit. Grant that wisdom, justice, fortitude, piety, fear of God and temperance, may grow in me without limit.
Jesus, give me confidence, humility, and repentance without limit; abandonment to Your will, the spirit of mortification, of obedience, of poverty and of purity. Make live again within me; Your patience and meekness. My Jesus, have mercy upon me, who am a sinful man

§118 ~ To love you without limits
Msgr. Octavio: «O Lord, I am less than a worm, a handful of dust, my God, by myself I am only sin. From You I have received everything; from You I have received life, grace, and light. Only You are great, only You are the holy one, the almighty one, the omniscient one, the omnipresent one.
O Lord, if I love You, it is because You have given me love. If I hope in You, it is because You have given me hope.
O Lord, if I believe in You, it is because You have given me faith.
My Lord, You are everything, I am pure nothingness. You are light, I am darkness. You are life; I am dying. You are truth, I am error.
O Lord, You are wisdom; I am foolishness.
O my God, from all eternity You have placed Your merciful glance upon me, who am like a worm that crawls on the ground.
Come Jesus, with the Father and the Holy Ghost! Come to Your little “drop of water that falls downward.” It wants to love You without limit, but it cannot, if You do not come to it.
Therefore, may You Yourself be the Soul of my soul; give me Your Spirit, which is a fire that burns and transforms, that illumines and warms, that purifies and vivifies.
May You Yourself be the Soul of my heart, of my body and of all my life. Only thus, O Jesus, can I truly love You without limits.
Thus I desire to love for the time in which I did not love You, for those who since the beginning did not love You, for those who at present do not love You, and for those who will not love You for ages of ages. I desire to love You in reparation for the pride, the lack of love of the condemned souls who will hate you eternally.
Merciful Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me, who am a sinful man. »

§119 ~ Friends of the Blessed Sacrament
Jesus: «My son, write: I, Jesus, desire an institution that will develop faith in all forms, devotion, love, and worship towards Me, truly present in the mystery of faith and love par excellence, the Eucharist. To this Pious Union everyone may belong, small boys and girls, adolescent boys and girls, men, and women – without discrimination of age. Its purpose is to favor in themselves and others, by means of all the forms approved by the Church, faith, and love toward Me, truly present in the Eucharistic mystery. Its object is:
1. The daily visit to Me in the church, or at least a visit and a spiritual communion when it is not possible to go to church.
2. Holy Communion, at least weekly.
3. At least one hour of adoration a month.
4. To have a meeting once a month. It is good to have a register with the names of the members.
5. It will be in the charge of the parish priest of the place. Likewise, the direction of the group and its development;
and the catechesis on the Eucharist at the meetings. He will stimulate the others with his example and with his words, to foster love toward Me in the Blessed Sacrament. This Pious Union will be called: “Friends of the Blessed Sacrament.” I, Jesus, desire this intensely; do not lose time. »
November 17, 1975
§120 ~ The love of the innocent
Jesus: «Write, My son. I announced to you that I would return to this theme. In each human creature there are three physiognomies, two of which can be seen:
1. The physiognomy of the face that is visible to everyone. We see the face of everyone, made upon only one model;
nevertheless, each one is different from the other.
2. We see less clearly the interior physiognomy of man, that is to say, that of his soul, of his temperament, of his character, his intelligence, etc.
3. Besides, there is the physiognomy even more interior of the soul, that is to say, that of his supernatural life or death.
This third physiognomy is perceived by very few. The soul, covered with divine grace, clothed with its white nuptial garment, is marvelous; God sees this splendor, for it emanates from Himself. It is also seen imperfectly by souls very advanced in the life of grace, that is, of perfection. And just as bodily physiognomies are not equal, neither are interior physiognomies, that is, the characters of individuals, nor are supernatural physiognomies equal one from the other. Therefore, these are the three physiognomies, that of the body, that of the soul, and that of grace. Grace is the divine life in souls; I love you. Therefore, grace is the love of God, communicated to souls. »
§121 ~ Different splendor
«Each soul in grace has in itself love, with an intensity of a vast variety of splendor, for My love is different in each soul. One may love little, or not at all, or very much, and it is also possible to love in different forms. He who does not love is in death. He does not have interior light within himself. It is the most tremendous misfortune, because for the soul that does not find within itself the love that was infused by God, is eternal death, hell. Yes, say this word strongly: hell! In which now almost no one believes! One may love also with the soul, and that too in different degrees. With the senses one also can love well, as in nuptial love, which is chaste and holy, only when it is directed in the just way. One can also love greatly, both interiorly and exteriorly, without any recourse to sensuality. There is also the love that is innocent, pure, and angelic. The love of the first parents before they sinned; or the child that tenderly embraces its mother, excludes from its love all contamination. There is nothing in such pure love that can disturb. »
§122 ~ Necessity of expanding
«The pure and chaste soul, absorbed in the love of God and of its neighbor, and which has made of the commandment of love the law of its life, is not capable of containing love in its interior. Love breaks out even upon the material that imprisons it, and it has a necessity of expanding, just as the light and the heat of a flame naturally expand. This strong, pure, and innocent love is not comprehended, except by only a few souls, and those who possess it, are urged to frequently impede it, for it might be a motive of scandal. Very few are the consecrated souls who achieve this fullness of love. And since the soul of love is always suffering, for this very reason; that it has to continually impede or restrain it for a just motive, it is nourished even more, because this suffering causes the soul to become even stronger in its love. He who loves in this way does not feel nor need the stimuli of the senses.
At times it might be a mistake to wish to detain the natural course of supernatural love for motives of unjustifiable human respect; as in the case of the first Christians who greeted each other with a kiss. No inconvenience was caused by this, for they were chaste and pure.
The inconvenience was to those who were neither pure nor chaste.
§123 ~ The word that does not change
Msgr. Octavio: «But Lord, in this our world, in the world of today in which vice, corruption, obscenity and impurity reign supreme, do you not consider saying such a thing as dangerous and destined to be misinterpreted? » Jesus: «Well, My son. My word is a living word.
It is a word that does not change with the changing of the circumstances and customs of men. My word is like a ray of light that arrives at the mire. It illumines it without remaining contaminated by it. If this is not understood today, it will be tomorrow, in My Church, regenerated to a new life and to a new splendor.
I bless you as always. Remember, what you have written today, for yourself and for many souls, it will prove important. Love Me great, and do not forget what I ask of you so frequently. »
November 19, 1975
§124 ~ Ever close to Me
Jesus: «Write, My son: I have already spoken to you of My Mother, the Co-redemptrix; and she was so in reality from the moment in which she consecrated herself to God, offering her entire being, her purity, her will. This offering always became more living, more luminous, and more conscious, grace increased in her with age, and at whatever age, she was full of it, appropriate for her age. Officially she became the Co redemptrix at the moment in which she pronounced her Fiat, thus enabling within herself the virginal conception of Me, the Word of God.
She intensified her action of Co-redemptrix each day and each moment of her life, making the initial offering of her will into an ongoing practical reality. Co-redemptrix also in her Sevenfold Sorrows, she was the Co-redemptrix in a sublime way when she accompanied Me upon Calvary, when beneath the cross she also pronounced her Fiat – ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua’, accepting and offering Me, and herself also , as a victim to the Father for the deliverance of a humanity, that had fallen under the dominion of Satan. She was a Co-redemptrix then, she is such now, and will continue being one forever. »
§125 ~ The presence of the Mother
«The mystery of the cross is renewed and perpetuated in the mystery of the Mass.
Therefore, My Mother’s presence in the Holy Mass is real; just like her presence upon Calvary. Certainly not present in the Host, but close to the Host (closer, in more ways than men are presently capable of acknowledging), just as her being closely united to Me; heart, body, mind and soul, beneath the cross. My son, close to My Mother upon Calvary was John, and the presence of John, likewise, is continued in the holy Mass, with the presence of the celebrating priest. Unique and real; was, is, and always will be, the presence of My Mother in the Holy Mass. The presence of the priest in the Holy Mass is real and will remain so, but this presence of the priest can be very diverse, because the dispositions with which priests celebrate are different. There are priests, (not many, but there are some), who are present like John, with a holy and active participation, with a clear, generous, and courageous offering of themselves to My Father in union with Me. Think, My son, about these Masses! What a sublime, stupendous and marvelous unity in love and in suffering (which is the soul all of love) in a sublime and marvelous trinity! Unity and trinity of love, offered to My Father Who, satisfied, is reconciled with humanity, through the new Adam, the new Eve, and the people of God in the person of John, that is, of the priest. »
§126 ~ Immense damage
«I told you, son, that nearly all My priests are ignorant, through their own fault, of this; their rank in the most exalted mystery of faith and of religion. And in this way, they deprive themselves and the people they represent, of innumerable graces, mutilating and killing, as far as they can, this design of infinite love of the divine Trinity, also killing the unity and the triune nature of the love of Calvary, because their presence is only material, and the participation of the people that the priest represents begins to fail, although they are physically present. By this fact you can deduce the gravity and seriousness of the unconscious presence of many of My priests in the holy Sacrifice of the Mass. By this fact you can understand the immense damage caused to the people of God, defrauded of so many gifts destined for them by means of the priest, mediator, and depositary of the redemption.
The priest(and there are so many), My son, who should be a channel through which My grace should flow, is converted into a barricade raised up between My Pierced Heart and the people that he represents. Think, My son, about the shame that some priests will experience at the last judgment, when they see their grandeur, their royal dignity, and the power that they never wanted to understand, through their own fault, which they abdicated in favor of other things of no importance, that filled their lives with smoke, but never with light. »
§127 ~ I am embittered
«Son, shout loudly! Shout to all those priests who are outside the design of salvation, who are not instruments of redemption but rather will-o’-the-wisps. My priests do not find even five minutes to prepare themselves for the Holy Mass. They do not find five minutes for a little thanksgiving. It is logical that it should be thus. What can they thank Me for, if they have not received any fruit from the Holy Mass? Afterwards they spend their entire day, and even part of the night, in fruitless, useless, and often sinful things. Do you think Satan would not take advantage of this frightful reality? Tell everyone, without reticence, that the catastrophic results are due in great measure to My priests. It will not be extraordinary if, tomorrow, their blood tinges the earth with red! I told you the situation in My Church would have been very different, if My priests had cultivated the interior life of their souls. I am embittered. It is not to Me that they should impute the great sufferings of the present hour that draw near. I bless you, and with you, I bless those who are dear to you. »
November 20, 1975
§128 ~ Invitation to prayer
Jesus: «Write, My son: Many times I have lamented the crisis of faith that afflicts My Church, top to bottom. My Church languishes, My Church suffers, because My ministers are gravely infected. When the body is not nourished, strength is diminished;
and the weakened body does not react to the enemies that assault it, and that more or less slowly, kill it. The lamp that is not nourished is extinguished. Also, the lamp of faith that is not nourished is extinguished and within the soul; obscurity is created; confusion is created; night is created. If a small herb or flower is not nourished, it dies quickly. If a fresh, fragrant flower is not cared for or nourished, what does it become? A few faded, dried-out leaves, a fragile stem that disintegrates upon contact with another body. »
§129 ~ An imprisoned angel
«What is the soul of the Christian without faith? What is the soul of the priest that does not pray? It is the most fragile and vulnerable thing that exists. Submerged in darkness, it is lost and is inexorably swept away by the concupiscence of the spirit, or by that of the senses, and very frequently by both. It becomes an angel made prisoner by Satan in the putrefaction of the senses, or in the impurity of the spirit, in error and heresy.
What is the soul of the priest who is in a crisis of faith, because of a lack of interior life? He is a puppet and a toy of Satan, who discharges upon him his hatred and jealousy, soiling him with all his brutality, dominating over him and making him his slave. It is the despairing revenge of Satan, who vomits all his poisoned spittle upon that poor and unfortunate soul, that did not want to use the important means of defense that I placed at its disposition. »
§130 ~ Oxygen of the soul
«The first means of defense is prayer.
1. Prayer that elevates the soul to Me.
2. Prayer that is the breathing with My breath.
3. Prayer that is the oxygen of the soul.
4. Prayer that unites the soul to Me in an intimate and profound way. When a soul clasps Me strongly, who can snatch it from Me, from My Heart? The soul that does not pray is like an infected fruit; no one notices the increasing putrefaction in its interior, but in the end the fruit will fall to the earth, and one knows how these fruits end, by becoming the garbage.I, Jesus, the Son of God, prayed night and day, although I had no necessity of doing so, because My every thought was communion with My Father, perfect life – the fruit that prayer should produce in all men. I desired that the example of My praying, should precede the teaching, but for very many Christians and priests, My example has served for nothing. If someone refuses to eat, no one can blame Me if the physical forces of his body diminish. If someone refuses to pray, no one can blame Me when all spiritual energy in him; is extinguished. He who does not pray is like a shipwrecked person upon the stormy waves of a world that is without God, and if he does not swim, how can he be saved? An impressive number of priests has let My invitations to prayer fall into a vacuum. How can they be saved? Do they not notice that their feverish activity is sterile, that it is not blessed by Me, and that many times it goes in the opposite direction to what should be, and is thus counter productive? They no longer believe in sacramentals, and they no longer use them, with few exceptions. They live outside of the genuine spiritual reality; they are as if hypnotized by the Evil One. » (If they feel no need to resist him in their interior and exterior life, it is owing to being his associates).
§131 ~ To light the fire
«Son, they believe only in themselves. They believe what is implied in magazines and in newspapers. It is from these sources that they drink avidly. It would be sufficient to look slowly and retrospectively at the life of the Church, to realize that without prayer, no saint has been sanctified. No martyr, (and there are millions), has witnessed with his blood to his faithfulness to Me, without having been supported by prayer, but they do not look at this. Then, what are they nourishing their soul with? In many of them, the life of grace is extinguished. How much blindness! What a dark night! It’s terrible. The chosen ones have rejected and do now reject en masse – that is true enlightenment and true life. They reject the enlightenment and life that they could have communicated to souls – My Life. My son, I am the Love that they reject. I am the Life that they extinguish. I am a flame, and what do I desire, except that this fire may burn?
Therefore, I desire many fires to be enkindled in towns and cities. Woe to those shepherds who oppose My Will! I want the friends of the Eucharist to serve as an example, as I told you before. I have chosen you for a great thing: to carry My Word to the successors of the Apostles, to priests and to My faithful. It is the last opportunity of being saved and of saving souls.
They have not believed in Me. They have not believed My Mother. Many will not believe.
Many will persist in their blindness, but I desire them to know that the hour is near. »
November 21, 1975
§132 ~ The most important battle
Jesus: «Write, My son: It is written: “Meditare novissima tua et in aeternum non peccabis.” (In all your works remember your last end, and you shall never sin –Ecc. 7:40) These words, that issued from the lips of eternal Wisdom, were given to the people of God as a norm of life. They have been a source of light, so that man, who has fallen into darkness, could walk securely toward the final goal of his human existence. This precept has been forgotten and put aside, with many others, in the name of progress and evolution of the times that demands new forms of life and of customs. A little discernment would have sufficed to see in this ‘unrestrained desire for novelty’; a clever deceit of the enemy of man. The precept of meditating day and night on the great truths of the faith, comes from God. The ‘ardent thirst for novelty’ comes from the Evil One.If consecrated souls, in a particular way, had asked for enlightenment, I would not have denied it to them, but, dazzled by the exhilarating, loud spirit, a different spirit, the spirit of the Enemy, they allowed themselves to be persuaded by him, with all the consequences that you yourself can see. God wishes to guide man to the happy end of his eternal salvation, but when man refuses the little collaboration that he can give, God abandons him to himself. God wishes man to be saved, but only with the creature’s consent and collaboration. God wishes him saved, but not contrary to his voluntary preference. The collaboration is necessary for My divine life to reform the fallen human faculties. »
§133 ~ To seek God in silence
«In a previous message I told you clearly that only in the silence of the soul God makes His voice heard. Who, My son, seeks God in silence? Men in general, and even My ministers, have allied themselves to Satan in the work of debasement of human dignity, and they not only help in debasing it, but even in destroying it, to the extent that it cannot even be recognized. Man, no longer knows who he is. The nefarious work of materialism and constant noise, born of Satan, has come to this point. Those who should have used all possible energy to prevent such a dramatic situation, primarily with their own practice and example, have not done so. Rather, they have even consented to ally themselves with the darksome powers of evil, aggravating and accelerating the process of disintegration of all spiritual and supernatural values, that are well equipped to make and do make man great, who is a free and intelligent creature, made to the image and likeness of God. My son, I already told you that the hour of darkness is near, and that humanity will know the most tremendous battle unleashed in the world by Hell, which will do everything in order not to lose the victory, and it is convinced that it has this victory in its grasp. I told you that this battle has its antecedent only in the great battle fought in heaven between the sons of light and the sons of darkness. Now do you surmise the reason for My affirmation? Many, even among My consecrated souls, and even among the very successors of the Apostles, do not know that since the fall of Adam and Eve, this hour was always desired by Satan and his legions. He always wanted it and tried to procure it with all the means at his disposal. He considers this battle as his certain revenge against God, against Me, the Redeemer, and against the Church, the fruit of My Redemption. Against Me and My Church, because through it, I snatched humanity from him, after he had enslaved it. »
§134 ~ Let everyone know
«I want everyone to know and be able to place the coming happenings in their true perspective, and I repeat; these are the most grave happenings in the history of the human race. If the signs and warnings My Mother gave, can now be seen, why do they refuse to be convinced? Now, while shutting their eyes to the light, they speak of Mercy. Why did they not speak of My and their Mother, before, when this Mercy was wonderfully manifested at Fatima and Lourdes and countless other places, to call men to repentance and to pray? It is presumption to reject God and those whom God sends, and then to speak of His Mercy! The Mercy of God is like a magnet; it should find its point of attraction and collaboration, and not of repulsion. I do not desire misfortune or calamity. From human foolishness and wickedness, I will draw forth a work of purification, for the triumph of Mercy and of Justice. He who has renounced light in order to become a son of darkness, cannot possess words of truth and of light. “Meditare novissima tua et in aeternum non peccabis!”
(Meditate on your last end –Catholic Dogmas– : Death, Judgment, Hell and Heaven, and you will not sin forever!) But now no one meditates, “In all their works, or remembers their last end, so that they shall never sin,” with the exception of a few. They are like boys who run after a multi colored butterfly, and having caught it in their hands, when they open them, they realize that nothing is left except a worm. Poor humanity, that is always more disillusioned and wayward, that still does not know how to find the right path.
Pray, My son. And bless you. »
November 22, 1975
§135 ~ They have not understood much
Jesus: «Many priests and even some successors of My Apostles have not understood much about the history of humanity. Many Christians understand little or nothing, but they are less responsible, for no one has been in charge of teaching them. Few are the souls of My consecrated ones who possess the exact vision of the history of the world. This entire history is based upon the variance between Satan and Myself. God is combatted by Satan and his legions in his creatures. Satan knows well that he cannot attack God directly; so he combats Me indirectly in the human soul. My son, what is the history of the mystery of salvation, over which theologians mince their brains to find something, making a slaughterhouse even in this field, while trying to complicate the truths revealed by Me? What have they understood about the simplicity and profitability of My doctrine, that is, of the Sacred Scriptures, of My Gospel? What is the history of the Church, except the antagonism between good and evil? I told you, My son, that the history of humanity has two focal points:
1. The creation of man with all his natural, preternatural, and supernatural gifts. It is very important to keep this fact in mind, in order to understand the seriousness of the fall, in which Satan finally found the object upon which he could vent his hatred, his poison and his unrestrained and desperate passions: 1.1. Rich man made poor.
1.2. Wise man made ignorant.
1.3. Strong man, made weak.
1.4. Fortunate man, made unfortunate.
1.5. Immortal man, made mortal.
Since Satan could not confront Me directly, he discharged his anger upon man, upon the entire human race. Afterwards, when he learned about the Incarnation of Myself, the eternal Word of God, he conceived his insane plan of annihilating Me and My Church, and of making null the fruits of Redemption. A foolish and perverse plan of war, a war formed of innumerable battles, making use of everything and of everyone who lent themselves to his devastating action and willing to indulge in his same unrestrained pride.
2. The second focal point of human history is the Incarnation, life, passion, and death, of the Son of God made man, and also the passion, death and resurrection of My Mystical Body, that is, My Church, that issued forth from My Merciful Heart. »
§136 ~ Authentic history
«This is the authentic history of the human race, that unfolds itself progressively, and whose last page will be written at the end of time. Therefore, it is history in action, that reveals in a clear manner the confrontation without poison between good and evil, between light and darkness, between love and hatred, between faith and atheism, between joy and sorrow, between light and darkness. Behind the Veils of the Good, the Light and the Truth, There is God. And in direct contrast; behind the manifestations of evil, there is Satan. Now, son, it is an eyesore of infinite bitterness how in a large part of My Church, through the fault of many Pastors and priests of Mine, the defense has not been taken, as it should, of the price and value of Redemption, and how they have not used the means, also of defense, against the assaults of the enemy, against the untiring and insidious forces of hell.
This is the responsibility of the Pastors and priests that today are stuck and confined to debating as if they had fallen into some quicksand, and while the house is burning and destruction is taking place, they lose themselves in a thousand quibbles and fruitless activities, for they stumble outside of reality. They are not centered in the realistic vision of the situation. I confirm to you that this war now happening, will break forth in the most formidable battle ever fought until now upon earth, and that cannot be compared to any other, except to the heavenly battle of the rebellious angels against the angels of light. I desire absolutely everyone to know that not I, but men, allied with Satan, are engaging insanely in this battle. Not Me!
Therefore, the coming battle should not be imputed to Me. I am Justice and Mercy, and from the wickedness of others I will draw forth a renewed Church and a renewed world. I know how to give to this Church and to this world a long period of peace and of justice. I know how to save from the pains of hell, all those who with humility and repentance receive these messages, which are a testimony of My Love. I bless you, My son, and with you I bless all those who will believe. »
November 23, 1975
§137 ~ The great truths
Jesus: «By the lips of Wisdom it stands true for all time: “Meditare novissima tua et in aeternum non peccabis.” (In all your works remember your last end –Catholic Dogmas: Death, Judgment, Hell and Paradise– and you shall never sin.” –Ecc 7: 40). The Holy Spirit wanted to put before your souls four great realities: Death – Judgment – Hell – Paradise.
Because: they must die. The truth of death is a concrete reality, a reality that, indirectly, you experience every day, and one day you will experience it directly. Nevertheless, My son, it might seem like an exaggeration to you; but truly, almost no one thinks of it, almost no one thinks of the last end prior to every work. They live more or less carefree, as if they were never going to die, or as if their works were not weighed according to purpose. Who is the one who is inducing men, Christians, and priests, to forget these words of the Holy Spirit, of thinking about death, from which no one can escape? It is Satan, it is always him, who always encompasses the human soul with its cleverness and seductions, with his lies, “like a lion looking for someone to devour.” You have been placed on guard; it was said to you that he circles around and roars, but he cannot bite you unless you yourselves expose yourselves voluntarily. You have at your disposal so much enlightenment upon this subject: Sacred Scripture, the lives of the saints and of the martyrs, and they are all a history of tremendous battles between man and the Prince of Darkness. Remember the angel of Tobias that delivered Sarah, and thousands of other episodes. »
§138 ~ The guardian angel
«In this battle I did not want man to be alone, for the fight would have been unequal, and so I placed at his side an angel of Mine, an angel always disposed and ready to intervene every time that he is asked. Unfortunately, incredulity has as its result that very few have recourse to him. How many times My angels, your custodians, are obliged to an almost complete passivity, because of the incredulity of men. How often they are obliged to retire, to not be present at the ruin that man makes of himself! Poor man that gropes in darkness, even after I traced out for him a pathway of light. I have given man so many means of defense! There are Sacraments, sacramentals, prayer, volumes of divine words and teachings from heaven, but no means is of any use when the soul is in darkness, and today many souls are in the most profound darkness. The lack of faith brings darkness to souls. »
§139 ~ If you do not do penance
«The greatest crisis of faith from the creation of man until these days, is the present one.
The habit of formalism creeping into the Christian life deudes many and makes them think they are on the right path, just as the priests, scribes and Pharisees believed so during the time when I was on earth, in My visible humanity. In all times and in all places the fight between good and evil always bears its immutable seal. If the atheistic humanity of today does not stand up and does not seek to get rid of the dust and smoke that obscures its soul, the greater part of it will perish. The sarcasm and ironies of the pseudo theologians, pseudo-Christians and proud priests, all the cunning of the manipulators of corruption in all sectors of public and private life; all this, will not be able to prevent the ruin that man is foolishly provoking.
1. Say this strongly in the limited time that still remains; shout loudly like the prophet Jonah: “If you do not do penance, you will perish.”
2. Say strongly that God cannot be laughed at with impunity.
3. Shout out loud that the hour of darkness is not desired by God, but by men themselves.
4. Shout strongly that My Mother has done much to withdraw the world from catastrophes. Remind everyone of this: Lourdes, Fatima and a thousand other interventions, often suppressed by those whose task it was to judge with greater objectivity and less fear of losing human esteem. They were afraid of the judgment of the world. Here is their fault: they put themselves first, not the Truth. And now they speak only of the Mercy of God, and not of their responsibilities. When they make a pronouncement about these messages, will they also reject the light one more time? I want to see everyone saved, but they resist Me. They love the spurious and worthless garments of ignorance and obscurity, they love obscuring Me in their conscience, and in darkness they will perish. Don’t fear;
continue being faithful to Me. You are in My Heart and here no one can touch you, nor even scratch you. I bless you, My son. Love Me and walk uprightly before Me. I am the Way that many refuse to follow. »

§140 ~ The Will of God
«Son, write what I desire of My Bishops, My priests and My faithful. If those of this generation do not accept the transformation of their lives that I have asked for already, and with so much insistence, then I will occupy Myself with the necessary reform of their lives. And do not lack means. If they do not concern themselves with conforming themselves to the Divine Will; then I will occupy Myself in seeing that the Divine Will is fulfilled. When you read the Bible, you marvel over the hardness of the heart of the priests and of the learned ones of the people of Israel.
But you yourselves are not less so, slow and hard of heart. What more do you expect? Have the signs that were given to you not been sufficient? I desire My Church restored anew, purified of all the uncleanness with which it is impregnated. Don’t mock! I repeat that I am the God of Mercy, but what have you done with My Mercy? Why do you not wish to understand with integrity, that in Me, Mercy and Justice are one and the same thing? You do not have the power of destroying My Justice. …Nor the power of destroying hell, about which you do not even wish to hear. Do you think I cease to be Mercy, when through Justice, I am obliged to exclude the reprobate, the impenitent, from My Father’s House? What kind of a judge would I be, if I gave the same verdict to the good and to the wicked? Then, according to your perverse way of thinking, after justice was annulled, the particular and universal judgment should be annulled also, and it should also be admitted that life on earth is not a land of exile, nor a time of testing, and that things should continue to exist as they are.
granted, there would be no separation of the wheat from the chaff, nor any separation of the reprobate from the just, and My teachings should be infected with errors. »
§141 ~ To know the Will of God
«Know, My son, I cannot err. You have given yourselves a model of life that is diametrically opposed to My doctrine and to My example. I am the way. He who wishes to come after Me, Bishops, priests, and faithful, should follow Me. In a previous message “The path is one way only” (Vol.1, Ch. 29), I have clearly stated: “I began life with humility, with poverty, and with obedience to My Father, usque ad mortem” (unto death). I adapted My humanity to the Divine Will of the Father, but today, who seeks to know and to fulfill the Will of God? They don’t even seek to know it!
Then, how should My Pastors, My priests, and My Faithful try to live? Could there be anything more clear and more limpid in My Gospel than this? Nevertheless, they do not see, blinded by pride and by one or the other of the two concupiscences, or by both of them.
I was born into this life of earth. My angels are not going to communicate My coming to the rich and powerful of the earth, but rather to the shepherds, humble and chaste people, people just and honest. The shepherds come to offer Me their greetings and to give Me their love.
When I was born with an infinite act of humility, I desired around Me the simple, the humble and the pure of heart. Thus, I desire My Bishops, My priests and My faithful, and thus they will be, in My purified Church. My Father gave Me Joseph as My adoptive father, a just man. What does a just man mean? It means a holy man who practices justice, a humble man, a pure man. But if My Bishops and My priests would reflect, they would understand very clearly what God desires of them. »
§142 ~ Simplicity and, purity
«I do not speak of My Mother, Queen of all virtues, unique among all women and blessed among all, who was made a participant of My priesthood (in the way I explained in previous messages). Therefore, she is the model of all virtues for Bishops and priests. Just as My Mother was, so should all My Bishops and priests be! It would be sufficient to meditate a little in order to learn and become convinced of this. Among My Apostles there was one especially beloved, John. He received the confidences of My Merciful Heart. His humility, simplicity and purity will win My Heart.
Among My Apostles there was also another one with a proud heart and an impure spirit, and in spite of My Mercy continually extending itself to him, he ended, despairing in hell. He did not want to receive the impulses of My Love and of My Mercy, but instead listened to the deceitful voice of the most base passions. Besides this, who were the saints? They were My true friends. I could go on at length, quoting My teachings in relation to this, to bring to your memory deeds and examples, but this is sufficient for now. I bless you, My son. Offer Me your sufferings, and unite them to Mine, so that light may be generated in the souls of those who live in darkness. »

§143 ~ The most beautiful flower
Jesus: «My son, what is the most beautiful flower of Paradise and of the earth? What is the most beautiful work in all creation? What is most beloved among the Divine Trinity? It is the Immaculate Heart of My Mother, and your Mother also, object of the eternal love of God, Three and One. Therefore, it follows that God desired to make a gift to you of what is most beloved by Him. A marvelous and fragrant flower, She has within Herself the perfumes of all the virtues. The flower that has no equal in heaven or on earth. There is a great distance between Her beauty and that of the angels and that of all the creatures of the earth. God held Her from all eternity. God loved Her and made Her the object of His complacency from eternity. God wanted Her next to Him for the realization of His infinite design of love. He made Her powerful, the Co-redemptrix, Mother, Queen. Before Her the angelic hierarchies kneel, and the generations upon earth call Her blessed. God so loved men, even to the point of giving His Son for them, and after His Son, His Mother, but men have not always demonstrated, nor demonstrate having understood the gift of God. A flower made of immaculate candor, of purity, of love, of generosity. A unique flower in Heaven and on earth. There will never be another equal to it. She is the true masterpiece of God, in the presence of which everything else is small. Well then, this Mother has a capacity of love that does not have limits. Those who do not admit this, for they say they do not believe in the numerous interventions of My Mother in favor of the humanity sojourning upon earth, do not know what true love is, their heart is arid wormwood. Their minds are impure to such an extent that they do not recognize true beauty or purity. »
§144 ~ You do not know what love is
«I already told you that faith, hope and love can never be separated. They are distinct (somewhat like the Persons of the most Holy Trinity), but united. They are one and three. How could it be in any other way? They are supernatural virtues communicated to the soul of every Christian by God Himself, by which the Christian is made a real child of God, a participant of His very nature, and therefore, similar to God. My poor children, My poor priests, how sad is your life. You don’t know what love is! How sad and miserable is your life: you do not know the source or origin, the moving cause of joy, of happiness, of hope! You do not know the strength that makes them overcome trials and difficulties. How corrupt and vulnerable is your nature! The world and the demon continually put obstacles in your path and you fall over them frequently. Why are you restless, anxious and rebellious? Because where there is no love there is resentment, that often degenerates into hatred, even in My ministers. No, children, there are no neutral zones. One is either in the area of the infinitely powerful love of God, or one is in the area of the enemy of God and of men, that is, of Satan. Then, not to believe in, or even to doubt, the numerous interventions of Myself and of My Mother in favor of a resentful humanity, is like denying the very essence of God, which is love, and the reality of the most beautiful Flower of Heaven and of earth, which is the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. Love tends necessarily toward the object loved. Love pours itself out over the object loved. Not to understand this is not to understand the nature of love. I have already lamented the behavior of the hierarchy about this matter, concerning which the necessary importance was not given. It was not investigated sufficiently nor objectively. The judgments given by many Bishops were conditioned by their own spiritual shortcomings and weaknesses, by personal fears, the dread of compromising oneself, etc. The Truth was often the last thing to be sought.
Instead, every extraneous and trivial element, was being obsessed over. Their terrible ego breaks out and overflows in all their actions, following their fear of responsibility or appearing compromised. In the finish; they put themselves – first. The interests of heaven, of God and that of souls afterwards. How much time lost, how many souls treated unjustly, how many unjust condemnations! How many souls they have deprived of blessings! How many souls broken on the rough seas of the scandals given, how many others settling for the sterility of a lukewarm faith.
Tremendous is the responsibility of those who have authority to investigate, to judge with truth and justice and not, with meanness and injustice and out of fear. Because; they act with a malign spirit and injustice when they put their own person with their insecurities before the true interests of God. Great harm is done to souls with unjust condemnations.»
§145 ~ Love without measure
«Son, I would like to make you reflect, with the help of a comparison, upon the magnificent plan of love of your Lord: Imagine parents that have an only son whom they love intensely and who forms the object and finality of their lives.
Well then, one day it is asked of them to give this son, to save from death other human creatures. These parents, still loving their son with an indescribable love, themselves seal his death. The son, who also loves his parents without measure, permits himself to be sacrificed for his own brethren. It is a Love without measure of the father and mother for those condemned to die, if it were not for their ransom with the sacrifice of the son. Love without measure of the son for his parents and for his younger brethren who need to be saved.
Love tends to give and to give oneself. God loves His Son infinitely and gives Him for the salvation of humanity. The Son loves the Father infinitely and permits Himself to die for humanity. The heavenly Father and Mother both love their Son and give Him for the salvation of men. The love of the Son for the heavenly Father and for men is found in My Merciful Heart, just as the love of My Mother and yours for God, Three and One, and for you, is found in her Immaculate Heart. But what do My unbelieving priests know about this ‘Mystery of Love’? Here is the reason for their spiritual aridity; that is why they do not want to suffer! And suffering; is the soul of love.
Indeed, the victim souls have understood this, but priests what do they know and what do they have to give to souls, if they are deprived of love? What else do they have to give, except themselves? For this reason, they always seek themselves, even when speaking of love. Their fine and elegant words will always be frigid and deprived of any force of penetration. They are mercenaries who do nothing without satisfying themselves, who do not know what it means to adapt oneself, to adhere to the Will of God, since love demands this. They are egotists; they are proud. They are mercenaries who, in a day not too far away, when the wolves enter into the flock to scatter the sheep, will flee in thousands and thousands, leaving only ruin behind them.
They will betray God and their brethren; they will provide for themselves alone. How can they love if they have never known love? And this is because of their own fault, son, their own fault, because they allowed the impulses of My grace to fall into a vacuum. What a terrible vision! In what an obscure zone are these priests of Mine, sons of My Church; how much coldness and frigidity there is around them! “Qui non diligit, manet in morte.” (He who does not love, remains in death). Yes, they are in death because the soul without love is dead.
They are in darkness for not seeing and believing what simple souls see and believe.
They are a dead weight for My Church; they are gangrenous members in My Mystical Body.
They are an incalculable suffering and harm for themselves and for souls. They are separated branches from the vine. They are like the accursed fig tree that produced only leaves and no fruit. Poor sons; pride and presumption made them lose the right path. They are incapable of ascending toward the conquest of good; they do not have strength to climb to the summit of the Holy Mountain. It is necessary to awaken them from this sleep of death into which they have fallen. » Msgr. Octavio: «What should be done, O Lord? » Jesus: «My son, you know! Humility, prayer, and suffering! With humility pride is crushed.
With suffering the flame is enkindled. With prayer a person is impelled toward God and to true devotion and mercy. Son, behold why I want the Bishops to try to give life to their parishes, with the foundation of My friends who recognize Me in the Blessed Sacrament. They should understand that this is a question of faith and of love. It is much more important than any other activity, to enkindle the fire of love, to enkindle the brazier of faith and of charity. It is possible to do so everywhere; the number of those who join does not matter. What is important is that in all parishes, My friends, in My Presence, in the mystery of faith and of love, should become a donation in love, allowing themselves to be converted into My allies, in order to save so many souls who are in danger. It is necessary, so that in the hours of darkness that are approaching, the souls of the faithful may know, where they can find true nutrition, and where they can be formed and prepared, so that, they may have a secure place. A place of real light, in order not to get lost in the darkness of the night. It costs little effort; therefore, let them do it now when they still have time. For now, this is enough, My son.
He who has ears to hear, let him listen. And bless you. Offer Me your sufferings. Remain with Me.
On this night you kept vigil and you consoled Me with your love. »

§146 ~ The enemy that one must face
«I, the eternal Word of God, Word of the Father, spoke to men; I announced the truth. The truth radiates light, and they needed light, for the shadows of death had descended to guilty humanity, encompassing it, and imprisoning it like a tremendous and poisonous venom. The conflict began immediately; it is the fight between light and darkness, between truth and lies, between life and death. The first parents ran to hide themselves in the thickness of the vegetation; they were afraid.
They felt the necessity of covering themselves;
they were ashamed and immediately noticed the first effects of their sin.But I, the Word of God, the light of the world, radiated light and truth upon the first parents, wrapped in the darkness of death, and after their confession was made, I announced the victory by means of Mary: “For having done this, you will be accused as no other beast. Upon your breast shall you crawl, and earth shall you eat all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and her seed, and she shall crush your head.” Here war entered into the world. Here began the duel without rest and without poison, and it will have its epilogue at the end of time, with the Last Judgment. On that day, the victory of Myself over lies, the Word of God and Light of the world, will be consecrated with the divine seal. All of you, My sons, from the creation and fall of man, have not yet understood that all human history is centered in this war. I said: ‘all’ of human history. All the efforts of the darksome powers of evil consist precisely in this: they turn away from the human spirit the real vision of this dramatic battle without poison;
between Me, the Word of God made flesh, and Satan with his legions. The entire history of the mystery of salvation rotates around this center.
The history of the Mystical Body is also centered here. It is here that the history of humanity has its reason for existing, and the fact that all this is not understood by many Bishops and by very many of My priests, is a huge paradoxical anomaly. Behold the reason why we have arrived at this devastating situation.
If those who should keep watch, do not know the danger that they should look for, then what condition is their vigilance reduced? If those who should guide others do not know the right path, what kind of guides are they?
If those who should combat do not use the adequate weapons to conquer, they are destined for defeat. Thus, it was in the beginning: Adam and Eve had power and strength in abundance to conquer the temptation of the enemy, but they were inexperienced in their manner of defending themselves against the trappings of his lies, which they did not know. »
§147 ~ You cannot ignore it
«Far more serious is it for you who cannot be unaware, after centuries and centuries of this struggle, of what temperament is the enemy you face. Adam and Eve sought justification for their guilt; they laid it on the insidious one by attempting after sinning, to shift the blame onto the adversary. So will many bishops and priests do, in a vain attempt to shift the responsibility away from them. They were and are afraid to take responsibility. Reasons of personal prestige made them yield to the Enemy, and these countless times; personal prestige first, dignity first… Made fatuous balloons suspended in the air, in the name of prestige they have failed in their commitments that should have taken first place. They succumbed to human respect and other petty things not worthy of a pastor of souls. They did not use the right weapons first!
Humility, poverty, suffering, prayer. How could others use them? They will say they prayed. But prayer was supposed to have the first place and the most time, in fact it was put in last place. I invited priests and bishops to a confrontation let them do it before it is too late, a confrontation between their life and My life on earth between the path they walked and My path. There they will be able to see, without danger of deceiving themselves, the reality. If they really had the courage, all the pus within them should emerge from this fair comparison. Do not the examples of the great bishops apply?
And for priests, does the holy Curé of Ars say nothing? Neglected and despised, he spent hours and hours praying, but the divine grace in him was such that it converted even stones. Not you must adapt to the times, but the times must adapt to you.
What a responsibility to have abdicated the struggle! If you are Bishops and priests, you are so by virtue of this struggle. Without this struggle you would have no reason to be.
And many ignore it. Son, I bless you, do not fear, look to Me and forward on your path, until the great meeting! Then the thorns will become wonderful roses unknown in the land of exile. »

§148 ~ We are not distant
Martyr Saint Octavius: «Son, you have manifested to Me your desire of knowing and communicating with the holy martyr Octavius.
Here he is: I am Saint Octavius [1], a Roman martyr. I want you to know brother, that in Paradise we do not live an inert life, but rather an intensely active life. In Paradise one has the plenitude of life. The desire of communicating between ourselves is normal. The body is one alone; one alone is the Head, and therefore, one alone is the activity of all the members – provided – that those who are still pilgrims upon earth do not turn aside to things harmful to the entire body thereby injuring the rights of all the other members, especially those of the Head. My brother, the assistance and help it has been permitted us to give you, has never failed since your birth, and it will not fail you until the end of your earthly days. It would have been much greater, if your desire of having received it had been more intense, and your supplications to ask for it, more frequent. Divine goodness has granted us this encounter; let us unite ourselves for a more fruitful and reciprocal collaboration.
It is a joy for the divine goodness, and it is a joy for us also, to have a closer relationship, to do it more often, with more confidence and above all, more fruitful and bounding in benefits. We are not far from all of you, brother. It is an error to think so. We are free and intelligent members of the same body. The same divine Life nourishes us and you, except that we love each other much more, and all of you love us much less. Frequently, you love us so little that you even forget us. » St. Octavius: the martyr who had converted the pagans.
The only certain news about the life of this holy martyr we have thanks to the first bishop of Turin, St. Maximus, who mentioned him in one of his sermons. He was a heroic witness to the Christian faith and the first missionary sent among the pagans in an important city.
[1]Octavius is accompanied by two other fellow martyrs (Solutor and Adventor). They are recorded within a fifth-century Passio. The Church venerates St. Octavius on November 20. He died during evangelization. The Roman Martyrology tells the story of this second century martyr, along with his two other companions Solutor and Adventor. The reference to “valiant combat” refers to their determination to declare themselves Christians despite the persecution instituted by Maximian. They were probably persecuted because they were sent as the first missionaries, to the Turin area, to evangelize the pagans.
§149 ~ The Communion of Saints
«You know, brother, that love tends necessarily to union, to perfect union, and how can this union be made more easily? If love is unilateral, this union cannot be realized. My brother, tell everyone that the benefits upon earth could be immense, incalculable, if all of you pilgrims could live, as we ardently desire you to live, (because we live it in the measure to which you consent) to engage with us, according to the dogma of the Communion of Saints. In Paradise one cannot become sad about anything, otherwise it would not be perfect happiness. But if something could make us sad, it would certainly be this: the fact of having lost the immense possibilities of doing good, and of having neglected a marvelous source of spiritual resources and even material ones, for one’s personal benefit and for the social benefit of the Church while we were pilgrims on earth. Through the divine goodness, may it be granted unto us to meet each other and to communicate with each other with greater frequency, for the honor and glory of our three times Holy God, One and Three.
» –Saint Octavius
November 27, 1975
§150 ~ Small and great things
Msgr. Octavio: «Jesus, before giving me His blessing, as He does each night, said to me…» “Son, love Me great; remember that before Me, nothing is great, and nothing is small.
Remember that it is precisely in small and apparently trivial things where love for Me is demonstrated and becomes a most ardent love.
That gentle smile given to a person who attacks you, that act of humble conciliation in the opportune moment, that act of impatience overcome by the will quickly, that generosity in responding to the impulses of My grace, that punctuality in relations with arbitrators, that disposition to listen, and I could continue… These are both small and great things that enrich and ennoble the spirit. They give Me joy and are testsimonies of an authentic love.
My son, I want you to love Me this way; you will make your Jesus happy. “He who is faithful to Me in little things, is and will be faithful to Me in great things.” »
November 28, 1975
§151 ~ The Masterpiece of the Trinity
Jesus: «My son, write: I already told you how I desire My priests, even though I have mentioned only the fundamental things. Now I want to make you understand how I want to transform the priest who is aware of his lack of grace, naturally, not without his consent.
At times it is enough if he does not place obstacles to the work of My chisel, a work that not only enriches the priest with merits and virtues but that also makes him a masterpiece of the Divine Trinity. In him the Father has His delights. In him the Holy Spirit rejoices, who uses his lips to manifest the wisdom that will shed light in souls. His Jesus is content with him, who will cause a cascade of graces to flood the souls that are in contact with him. Of him, I will make another Christ, who will go through the world attracting souls to himself with the power of prayer and with the strength of suffering.
Like Me, he will triumph in humiliations and in the incomprehension of those who surround him. Son, the priest that I want, should be attentive to My words. The priest that I want should live and direct everything to Me in the entire donation of himself to Me and to his brethren, just as I gave Myself entirely to the Father and to all of you. The priest, according to My example, should be a man of prayer. »
§152 ~ An arid desert
«My son, what a contrary situation exists in My Church! They do not pray, or they pray badly; it is a mere material imposition on a slave who neither understands nor loves his master. That is why there are no more vocations. How could I raise up vocations to make them not priests, but servants of Satan, for this is the reality; many priests instead of being My ministers, have placed themselves in the service of the Devil. My true priests know well that considerable time must be given to prayer; it is only through prayer and through suffering, which is abhorred today, that the priest becomes strong with My own fortitude. The priest whom I want lives by faith. It is impossible for a priest not to be the man of faith. But do you believe that they had faith those who abandoned Me to run after the fateful pleasures of the world? Do you believe that they all have great faith those who remained? Well, unfortunately… What hideous squalor, what a barren desert the Enemy has created in My Church! The priest I want, the priest of the purified Church for a new life, must have in him, also the fire of love. Did I not come to earth to kindle the fire, and what do I want but for the fire to burn and blaze until it creates a great fire? Instead, the hearts of some pastors and many priests are slow with pride and thus selfishness.
The true priest yearns day and night for Me, as the thirsty deer yearns for cool, clear waters. Do you believe that so many priests of this generation seek Me? No, My son, they long for the car, they dream of marriage, they love halls, public places, some even cafes, they love movies even immoral ones, they cling to television.
Some have hearts for all vanities and conveniences, less than for their God. So much for God above everything!
Everything aboveGod! »
§153 ~ They do not have courage
«And the Bishops? Some of them sleep, like the immortal image enshrined in the holy scriptures preceding My imprisonment.If they know, they do not have the courage to take hold of the axe, My brow covered in a bloody sweat, and instead they look for new means, new paths. New paths do not exist, nor do other means exist, except those indicated by Me: the fruits of My Redemption.The Bishops, in the name of prudence, continue committing imprudence. How many of them have done so with grave harm for souls and for the Church, that they were called upon to preside over.
In the name of prudence they sleep, for in many cases they are not sincere, and they pretend a love and a solicitude that they do not have, and a paternity that in many cases is only feigned. There are some who work with calculation, who ‘calculate their steps’, but love does not make calculations. Love directsitself ‘somewhere else.’ It tends to move upward, love overcomes everything, conquers everything, and does not waste, lose, or exhaust itself in ridiculous arguments over trifles.
Love is a fire that glows, that burns, that is not retained. Let them read Saint Paul carefully about this point, and many of them should admit that they walk along a path in the opposite direction, or almost opposite, to that indicated by the Apostle. I have said many times as God, that I want My priests to be holy. Now I have specified more clearly what the priest should do and what he should not do, in order to be holy. I bless you, My son; pray and suffer for the conversion of priests. »
December 2, 1975
§154 ~ Modern progress is paganism
Jesus: «My son, write: Modern progress is a mortal weapon with which Satan separates a vast number of souls from the sources of living water, in order to carry them to a desert and abandon them there, so they will die of thirst. Those who should alert the souls of the baptized to this grave danger, have permitted themselves also to be deceived. Without putting any resistance, nor warning the flock of the most grave danger that they are going to find, they also followed the enemy, who was able to separate from the light and faith, both the flock and the shepherds. To demonstrate to you how much this is the case, seems to Me superfluous. Who does not see now how the family has been desacralized and dismembered? Who does not see today how the school has been transformed from a sanctuary into an infernal cave, where with the pretext of progress and of evolution of the times, children are officially initiated in sin and forced to oblige sinful conduct? Who does not see how the cinema and television have been converted into sanctuaries in which millions and millions of students avidly absorb lessons of violence, crime, and adults? They are cathedrals whose magisterial teachings and dogmas of atheism are inculcated at all hours of the day with lying reports, with motion pictures that exalt divorce, adultery, abortion; with songs that insinuate free love, fornication, and sensuality.
Immodesty is exalted and glorified by means of styles and nearly total nakedness, by means of total depravity of customs. The spread of errors of all kinds is daily bread, received as a conquest of liberty. »
§155 ~ In the name of liberty
«1. In the name of liberty, they kill.
2. In the name of liberty, they corrupt.
3. In the name of liberty, the most unfortunate enterprises are initiated and performed. I do not speak of what happens in palaces or in private homes. No, in public places, in broad daylight; all kinds of aberrations, all kinds of iniquity and perversions are realized. Here Satan unleashes all his hatred against human nature, degrading it, destroying in it all modesty and sense of dignity, trampling it, humiliating it in all the forms that his degenerate astuteness suggests to him. What can be said about the press, another invention of progress? It is also a means of communication placed at the service of Satanic propaganda. The morally good press has a very cold reception and is very much less popular than the evil. Look at all the daily newspapers; in great part they are passing over to the service of atheism.
This pseudo-progress (a material progress but an impressive moral and spiritual retrocession), has been marked out, without any reaction, and in this, there is also evident the haughty presence of the malign one. Satan has made of progress a weapon to suffocate My Presence and all heavenly things in souls. Not only have they not reacted against this, but many have even exalted it, and many of those who, united, should have placed spiritual fortifications to avert this satanic invasion, have instead followed it. Therefore behold, how My examples and My teachings have become framed in total contrast to the principles and customs of this civilization of sin. Hence the unrestrained zeal to reconcile what cannot be reconciled, that many ministers and Pastors suffer from, desiring to change and reform everything. For this reason, there is an onslaught of innovations that, according to them, should make it possible to serve two opposite lords simultaneously. They would like to fuse light with darkness, convert the illicit into licit, increasing the scandals, wounds, and divisions in My Church. These innovators and reformers have forgotten the only truly important thing; to reform themselves and afterward, once they were restored to all things divine, they could have proceeded with wisdom to a wise actualization, of a truly useful general reform. »
§156 ~ To save souls
«Today those who wish to avail themselves of My Mercy, would be right, if they did not forget things of capital importance: the soul is worth more than the body, yes, or no? if it is, would it be mercy, to save bodies, while permitting souls to be lost? I am not the God of vengeance, but infinite and eternal Love, and for this reason I love you infinitely from all eternity. I do not desire the ruin of men, but rather, because I am love, I desire their salvation, the eternal salvation of all of you.
You have abandoned Me. You have placed Me below your pagan civilization, which you have accepted, and which you have contracted, thus lowering yourselves to the most unworthy compromises. Now you are confusedly beginning to discern the abyss that is beneath your feet, and you are appealing to My Mercy, and it will be precisely My Mercy even in chastisements that will prevent souls from continuing to be lost, joining the approaching hour of Justice to Mercy. Because of this, My Church, when it is born to a new life, will assume the finality that I have always desired for it. You are exhausted and do not feel well, My son. As food for this night, it is enough. I bless you; love Me great. »

§157 ~ They have gone over to the enemy
Jesus: «Write, My son: I, Jesus, the Word of God made Flesh, today see My Church in a very different state from that which I founded it in the beginning. What has remained of the true, genuine structure? I almost do not recognize it. Are the Bishops of today the Apostles of yesterday? Are they guided by the same disinterested zeal of the apostolic times? Is it the same spirit of humility and of poverty that guides them? Are the priests of today similar to the disciples of yesterday?
Well, My son. I do not imply that in the beginning there were no weak persons or deserters, but the spirit of the good was the Holy Spirit. The faith that animated them, that hope that sustained them, was from God.
The charity that united them was true charity.
Even the pagans, when they saw the spirit that animated them, said: “Behold how they love one another,” and this charity attracted the pagans to them. Today, My son, things are very different. With the exception of a few truly good and holy persons, not even the Bishops love their priests with the true charity of Christ. In their exterior they are affectionate, but interiorly they are as cold as metal. Among priests, fraternal love consists of empty words. Malevolence reigns more than fraternity; they are always ready to ally themselves to anyone in order to be above their weaker brothers; they are always ready to transform themselves into defenders of God against another priest. I do not speak of envy, jealousy, and resentment, which often happens when they speak evil of a brother and calumniates him. Satan has flooded the Church with this vice in these times. I also remind you of the wounds inflicted upon My Mystical Body by sins against the sixth and ninth commandments. The sacrileges are numberless, and they are consummated with such indifference; that even Judas did not know anything of the kind. In a recent message, I pointed out the pus that has accumulated in the interior of My Mystical Body. Oh, if only one could make an opening in My Mystical Body, as it is done in a physical body, this pus would come out with great violence! My son, I cannot permit souls to continue falling into hell. I cannot be passive, while My infinite suffering is rendered useless for so many souls, while My Body and Blood are rendered useless through the perversion of everything I stood and died for. My infinite mercy demands the hour of justice against the injustice perpetrated by Satan, who is a thief and a murderer, and who has entered into a free alliance and collaboration with persons who voluntarily work for the perdition of souls, that I have loved from all eternity. »
§158 ~ Tremendous responsibility
«My son, if I caused you to see the tremendous responsibility of My consecrated souls in this work of devastation, of effrontery and laceration of souls in combination with the forces of hell, you could not survive for one instant . I want it to be known by everyone that, while the moral and spiritual evil persists in My Church, the hour of purification cannot be put off, not even by the pleas of My Mother and by the efficacious sufferings of victim souls. The salvation of souls is such a great thing that nothing else should be placed before it. God sees what you are unable to see. »
§159 ~ Reason for purification
«The Mercy of God, the Patience of God, the Longanimity of God, are much greater than what you can imagine; but the havoc that is realized in souls day and night by sin, cannot be tolerated. My son, how much longer will men, slow to understand, realize the futility of so many affairs, in which they spend and utilize their time and energy? Here I do not speak of those who are far from Me, but rather of those who say they are My followers, and the majority of them place God and their soul in the last place to devote their energy to. For God or for their soul they would never perform the sacrifices, that they make readily every day in order to oblige the caprices of their body, of which they have made an idol. Just think: what can I expect of the rest? But what gives Me the greatest pain is that My sentinels, that is, My consecrated souls, in great part have passed over to the enemy. All of you, I repeat, fortunately do not see what I see. I see everything, even the most hidden thoughts. You can never comprehend the sadness of My Merciful Heart, and the sadness of the maternal and Immaculate Heart of My Mother. They continue walking along the tortuous paths of hypocrisy, and the majority of them do not want to take the divine way of the cross and of prayer. For now, it is enough; And bless you.
Offer Me your sufferings that are now great, but it is only in offering them with love that you give joy to My Heart. »

§160 ~ Be persevering
Msgr. Octavio: «I am asking a special blessing for the parish priests and for the brothers of the Pious Union that tomorrow, December 4, 1975, first Thursday of the month, will commence the adoration of Jesus, as He Himself has wished [1] . » [1] See Ch. 1 – §119, with date: 17th of November, in which Jesus asks that the Pious Union of the “Friends of the Blessed Sacrament” be instituted. Some priests have welcomed it and have made this invitation.
Jesus: «Write: Sons, My delight, and My joy are to be with you. From all eternity I have loved you; from eternity you are the object of My Love. For this reason, I have desired you to be here. I want you to be here now, and in the future. I am forgotten by many; by many I am offended, insulted, betrayed. My Love does not find adequate correspondence and I, God, seek it in you who have responded with a ‘yes’ to My invitation. Although you do not love Me as I love you, new relations of more intimate friendship will be forged between Me and you. My friendship, that I offer you, I, God, your Creator, and your Lord, your all, the Alpha, and the Omega, is the greatest and most precious of all things I can give. You will all come here together, at least once a month, in order to be as friends are. You will come here to pray and make reparation for those who reject and repudiate My friendship. Be persevering! Guard yourselves and keep yourselves from the astuteness of the enemy who will do everything to place obstacles in front of your resolutions to do good by remaining with Me. Come with your hearts open, and I will fill them with My graces and with My gifts. Children, it will be beautiful to find you here with Me. »

§161 ~ Da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos (Give me strength against Your enemies)
Jesus: «My son, these are the words that each one of My faithful, each one of My priests, should pronounce not only with the lips, but with the heart and with the mind, in humility of spirit and simplicity of faith.
These words have been placed on the lips of Christianity for a reason, and especially on that of My priests. Besides being a prayer, it is a reminder of an extraordinary importance. It is an indication of the specific mission of the Christian as a soldier of Christ in the untiring fight against the dark forces of Hell, enemies of God and of the salvation of souls. »
§162 ~ Friends of Satan
«I spoke previously of the multiple contradictions in My Church; this is another strident one. One prays, one asks strength and power against an enemy in which one does not even believe, or very little, and also which one refuses to combat. It is as if soldiers and officials would ask for weapons, and once they were obtained, they do not know who they should use them against, and they refuse to use them. My son, is this not an inexplicable and unjustified contradiction? And it assumes absurd aspects, because not only is this most dangerous enemy not combatted, but they even help him. He becomes more powerful in his devastating actions in souls. How many heretical priests, proud and rebellious, how many unfaithful and blasphemous Christians there are, more friends of Satan than of God! I came to the world especially to take again, out of the hands of Satan and his legions, what they had withdrawn from Me by lies and deceit. I have fought and conquered in My battle, with the humiliation of the Incarnation, with persevering prayer and with the infinite suffering of My immolation, which are the secure weapons for an ineffable victory over the enemies of God and of souls. Did I not say clearly: “He who wishes to be My student, let him take up his cross and follow Me”? In other words: “He who wishes to be My follower, let him do what I did first.” Now, My son, I allow you to judge whether Christians, priests and Pastors do what I have done. Today there are few, very few, who are disposed to follow Me on the road to Calvary, carrying their crown of thorns. Observe the enormous contrast between My life and theirs, between My path and theirs, between My works and their works. They are traveling in the opposite direction. It is truly a tragic and dramatic situation, that can only result in the work of purification. The blindness of men and the hardness of their hearts is astonishing.
The conduct of My Christianity is inadmissible and the life of some of My priests is offensive.
They do not fear God; they do not fear His justice. They will perish and be dispersed like dust before the wind. Not I, but their own obstinacy, will make them perish. “Da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos” Yes, (Give me strength against Your enemies) is on their lips, while in the daily reality of their life they, in fact, favor the plans of the devastation of souls.
My priests refrain from employing exorcisms, and they do not use the power conferred upon them even before ordination, either because they do not believe in this power, or because they can guess its uselessness, by the contrast of their life with that of the priest that makes of it a powerful weapon to contain, limit and neutralize the shameless arrogance of the enemy. »
§163 ~ Obscurity in the world
«Oh yes! A perverse and incredulous generation that reduces everything to a problem of material well-being, not knowing, in fact, that diminishing the spiritual values of human life, diminishes the dignity of man, placing him on the same level and rank as any animal. My son, what profound darkness they have created in the world. Brutish men; My ministers are the scorn of men, and the bait of the powers of evil! What most saddens My Merciful Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother, and yours also, is that love is repudiated, that the light is rejected, that God is opposed, and that they defend themselves against Him, and everything is done in order to place obstacles to His plan of salvation. The prayer “Da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos” is a lie in the mouths of many. Yes, it is a lie that allows one to see the abyss into which they have cast themselves headlong. They have let My calls (and there have been so many) fall into a vacuum, so that humanity could have avoided the most tremendous misfortune of history, but My enemies will not prevail. My Mercy, which is never separated from My Justice, will triumph. My Mother and yours will also triumph. She will make the darkness flee, which has descended over the world, in order to give public welfare and justice to humanity once more. Beautiful will be My purified Church, regenerated to a new life. It will take the place that corresponds to it in the world.
Nations and peoples will acknowledge it as a teacher and guide of all the great family of the children of God. I bless you; I ask your suffering and your love. »

§164 ~ The Mystical Rose of Heaven
Jesus: «Write, My son: Today, on December 7, vespers of the feast of the Immaculate Conception of My Mother and your Mother, a feast great in Heaven and also a great feast upon earth, I want to speak to you about her, the Mystical Rose of Heaven and earth. » «I want to speak to you about her, the most beautiful flower of all creation, the masterpiece of My Wisdom, of My Power and My Love. I have already made known to you this Flower. No one exists, nor will exist, in time or in eternity, who is equal to her in nature or in beauty. She is made of immaculate candor; she is made of peerless splendor; she is made of love by Me, God, Three and One. I love you; and she has ravished My love. Mary is candor, light and love, the Mystical Rose. At the center of this Mystical Rose is love. Like a burning fire she radiates heat that expands in Heaven and upon earth; she surrounds everything and everyone and penetrates everywhere. She is the joy of the Father, His daughter of predilection and the most beloved. She is the generous Mother who gives Me to humanity.
She is the beloved spouse of the Holy Spirit, who in her, pours the infinite abundance of His gifts. She is the Mystical Rose of Heaven, of earth, and of the entire universe. » §165 ~ She is made of love «A rose does not only have its corolla. It also has its leaves that adorn it and complete its beauty. The rose also has its stupendous colors. In its center the Mystical Rose possesses the colors of the supernatural virtues of faith, hope and love. These colors become more delicate on the edges, until they have a yellow gold shade, to signify that she is not only the Mystical Rose of Paradise, but also that of the Church upon earth. The leaves that adorn it are the symbol of the cardinal virtues and of the other virtues. The robust stem with sharp thorns, symbolizes the defense, to prevail against any attempt on behalf of its enemies, visible and invisible.
The Mystical Rose has its perfume that surrounds all the souls that trust in her, and who abandon themselves to her. This perfume is a secure protection against the assaults of the powers of evil. Oh, Mystical Rose, most beautiful Flower of Heaven, and earth. No one can ever disfigure you. You are the object of continuous and unchanging love, on behalf of God and of the veneration of the angels and the saints. »

§166 ~ Even today they do not believe
Jesus: «My son, write: I, Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, one with the Father and the Holy Spirit, manifested Myself with clarity and precision to My Apostles and disciples, for it was necessary that the grain should be thrown into the earth and should die, to be able to give abundant fruits. But neither the Apostles nor the disciples wanted to understand, in spite of the fact that My words could not be misunderstood. They were never convinced of the reason for My death, nor for My tremendous passion, and how many times I spoke to them of this clearly and without veils. I was realizing My design of love for the salvation of man (a design woven with My humiliation, in poverty, in obedience, in suffering and in continual prayer) and they did not understand, for they did not want to accept the tremendous reality of the hour of darkness, of man being immersed in darkness. It was I who was preparing the germination of My Church in persecution, on behalf of the great ones of the nation, and I did not have the comprehension of My beloved ones. I was the God-Man and I worked miracles, but I wasn’t believing. They rebelled in the dark hour of My Passion and death with blind obstinacy and absurd stubbornness. Only one creature was certain of the inevitable hour of darkness, that was descending on the world: My Mother, who during her entire life had her Immaculate Heart pierced with the vision of My Passion and death. My son, today things are the same as then, and this situation should not be imputed to Me, but only to this perverse generation, that rejects God with the sin of Satan and that, impenitent, does not believe in My words. Has not My Mother spoken with precision and clarity at Fatima, at Lourdes and in so many other places? They have not believed. I also have spoken, and they did not believe. It is now two thousand years, and the grain should die to be reborn, vigorous, and alive. The head of the new-born Church was to be immolated unto annihilation, for the salvation of everyone. The head immolated itself to satisfy the debt to divine justice.
Today the entire Mystical Body remains sterile, like the accursed fig tree, because of the satanic infestation of atheism and materialism, and now, like the grain of wheat it should be cast into the bosom of the earth and die, in order to be reborn to a new and fruitful divine life. This corresponds exactly to the irreversible demands of My Justice and My Mercy. Truly, I say that if you are not born anew, you will not enter into the kingdom of Heaven. An act of infinite Mercy and Justice abides in the mystery of Redemption; an act of mercy and of justice: ‘the hour of purification.’»
§167 ~ Redemption is in Act
«Redemption is being continued; redemption is in Act. My Mercy demands your salvation, and My Justice demands the satisfaction of the debts contracted by you, My living members, free and intelligent, capable of desiring or rejecting good and evil, and therefore, responsible for your actions. Don’t be disturbed, My son. Mercy demands that everyone be warned, not only with interior calls but also with exterior ones. He who desires to understand, let him understand, but he who, blinded by pride and presumption, obstinately desires to perish like Satan, let him perish. Courage! Let nothing disturb your spirit, either in one way or another. I will reward your docility and will protect you, although I may not allow you to avoid suffering. What blindness, what obstinacy! Oh perverse and unbelieving
