§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. »

§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. »

§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. »

§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. »

§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 ​​

§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. »

§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. »

December 3, 1975

§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
