If You Accuse My Mother, You Are Accusing Me!
DH-51

The Lord
Beloved Catalina, do not be bitter anymore.
The talk and discussions were not very edifying tonight.
Do you understand why I ask you to reread, to learn My Messages and those of My Mother? Because in this way you will be strengthened by us and be able to make better lectures than those made tonight.
Nobody has any right to doubt the purity of My Mother. She is purity because I am purity. She is love because I am Love. An all those who live in this love, live in Me through Her. She is the most perfect incarnation of quality and justice.
All this is the fruit of demystification, where nothing is sacred anymore.
Moral decadence, despite man’s appearances, is reflected in dehumanization, which, in turn, affects society and humanity.
This is why I have come to motivate your faith, because grace and the center of Mercy is My Mother, who has known the depth, the scope of My way through My death. Only she understands the mysticism of the Cross, to which man is not able to fully adhere.
My Mother is the example of trust and virtue in God’s plan. My Mother is the Queen of My Sacred Heart because it was from her heart that Our Holy Spirit formed My heart
Human words cannot even begin to express My Love for her. Foolish men do not realize that whatever they say about her, they are saying about Me; if they accuse her, they accuse Me... Thank you for loving her so much…

Finally the first book is ready... How much time has been wasted! I want N, N and N, to be in charge of the sale and distribution of this book. Do it responsibly.
When will you learn that if you put your work and goods to My service, I Myself will be at your service?
This book will convert many souls, particularly consecrated souls...
Thank you for this effort, My beloved ones. At last you will realize that when you commit yourselves to Me, I fulfill My promises to you.
Start copying the other book, it was an excellent inspiration... But this time do not rush, fly with My things because there is very little that it lacks and too many souls depend on its intercession. Get together and prepare a work plan...
Later on
Let us talk a bit more about My Love... Contemplate the Eucharist, mystery of My Heart and monument, perennial memory of My Love.
This Mystery of My Love and of My Self-annihilation, is the extreme manifestation of an infinite feeling for you. I became so close to you in incarnation and expiatory passion that I wanted to give Myself to you in the Sacrament of Love as a gift.
I send you the fullness of My Spirit so you can, in turn, give yourselves wholly to Me. I want to remain close to you in this self-annihilation until the end of times, to attract your hearts to Me. I want to offer you, in this Sacrament, a permanent memory of My Passion and Resurrection, instilling in you, by means of My Spirit, a pleasant memory, full of love.
So, the beat of incarnate Love continues forever in My glory, until you rest next to Me, heart to Heart.
Later on
Come to Me within your own heart, let My presence become more real in you... I am the gift My Father gives to you.
Experience My presence in you when you pray.
I cannot be the Lord in you heart when you are worried about yourselves with your confidence, with your pride, with your pain. Surrender the pride, the selfishness, the confidence, the pain, so that I might reign in your hearts...
Surrender Your Love to Me and the Desire to Sin Will Not Remain in You
DH-53
25-Oct-96
God the Father
[Message for a dear friend]
My son, just as I have determined the number of days in life, the degrees of sanctity or of talent I wish to give to each man, so I have also determined the number of sins I want to forgive in each one of you. When the measure is full, there is no place for forgiveness.
I am ready to heal those to have the desire and will to mend their lives. But I cannot forgive he who lives stubbornly in sin. I forgive sins but not the intention of sinning.
You cannot protest that I forgive a hundred sins to one, and take away life and condemn to Hell when a third or fourth sin was committed. How many have been sent to Hell for the first sin they committed! Was not a fig tree cursed when first seen?
Do not say then: "Just as God forgave my other sins, He will forgive me this one." Do not say it, because if you add a new sin to the one that was forgiven, you must fear this one being added to the first and in that manner the number will be completed, and you abandoned.
Many reach the determined number, are assaulted by death and dragged to eternal fire. They live in delight and in an instant go down to the grave.
Be sure that I await and suffer, but I do not await and suffer forever... I have patience, but once I reach the limit, I punish the first sins and the last. And the greater My patience, the greater the punishment. Woe be to those who turn back to vomit after seeing the light!
Surrender your love and in so doing, the desire to sin again will not remain in you. I promise to help you in your effort... You need to walk in faith, hope, truth and love. If you walk through faith, the senses will be eradicated of false hopes and you will no longer seek worldly goods – created by the hands of men - but then, when living in faith, the power of My Grace will rise to assist you.
I solemnly tell you that the way of love is refined from the inside. When you let it go, it carefully searches a place to rest but, committed to you, always returns faithfully to you, because the more you let it go, give it freedom, the more it will return to you, increased... As your senses were eradicated from created things, it remains firm in faith and faith becomes the infinite fountain, the gateway where love resides.
In the same way, when you abandon yourself in Divine Providence, in such abandonment you can embrace all your being in Me. This can only be brought about by love. When you abandon yourself in Me, I ensure a complete union: only My Will can satisfy you. Be sure that each moment is special, because I use love to reveal My Will.
My Graces Are Received in the Simplest and Most Ordinary Things
DH-54
25-Oct-96
The Lord
Beloved one, why did you give that photocopy of the evangelizing teachings to that Priest? Did I not tell you to give them only to those whom I revealed you to? I do not like you to be disobedient, you are beginning to dispose of My things at your will and the only thing I want to do is to protect you, to teach you, to make you something special... Please do not commit again any indiscretions of this kind. There are things that are for any human being, but there are other things that I want only for My chosen ones, other people perhaps would not understand what seems incomprehensible to their human eyes...
Many people believe that great things must be done to receive the merit of My Graces and do not think that it is quite the opposite: it is mainly in ordinary, simple tasks that you will receive My Graces. Not because you deserve them, but because they are given to you by My infinite Love.
I want you to know that the mysticism of My Love comes from man’s imperfection, and you, as a human being, are imperfect; but also by being imperfect, human beings become saints by My Grace. When you recognize the sin and repent, I give the grace of purification... When you achieve spirituality in your souls, it is because My Spirit has granted it, it is intimacy with your God, and to achieve that intimacy, you just have to love and obey Me.
There will always be people who will contradict or oppress you; fear no words or actions of anybody. I am your Lord and your God, you must trust and be sure of only Me. I allow certain things to happen so you will grow in humility, but evil also takes care of taking advantage of the moment to place there frustrations that are not firmly founded... Do not allow people to take advantage of you, but be kind and express humbly the grief they cause you...
Smile, My beloved one, do not disobey again. Your spirit is completely free when it joyfully sings love songs. Cast aside anything standing in the way of receiving My Graces. Learn from your mistake, ask Me for forgiveness with sincere regret and go on, do not block My Grace destined for you.
If you put Me first, you will perceive My Love as the most important value in your life... That is enough; do not cry, My Love will tame your weakness and your habits and mistaken behaviors. I do not want you to be like some of My children who have deprived themselves of ascending to a purer inner state and, on the contrary, have been trapped, building around themselves a cocoon, without reaching the freedom that doing My Will grants.
I Ask for Devotion, Not Spiritual Vanity
DH-55
26-Oct-96
The Lord
My beloved one, let us work. Do not be distracted with other things, please, I need you now. Look, the human being gives so little importance to everything that is spiritual, that he is on the path to his downfall. They believe that wisdom comes depending on the magnitude of time spent praying, they believe they will obtain graces because they impose a value on their prayer, they feel they deserve great gifts because they have been praying for some time. They do not know that I can do something that would normally takes years of prayer to achieve in a very short time.
What I ask for is devotion and commitment to prayer through their love, not through spiritual vanity. That is why you must pray, so a spiritual dew will infuse a true devotion to My Heart. I refer to spiritual vanity when I speak of some men who practice their devotion while they feel spiritually comfortable...
You must be aware that I come to My children in two ways: one of consolation, the other during trials. I judge what they need, reprehend vanity and vices, or exhort and comfort with virtues.
I ask you to be devoted to Me at all times: at times of blessings or at times of internal confusion. Do not weigh up your own spirituality by the time you have spent praying or by the achievements you have reached for others. Be devoted to Me and seek My acceptance, not the acceptance created by the general humankind.
My children, I speak to you this way because the time is coming when the Son of Man will have to give you a warning about the bitterness of punishment, in which each man will see his own judgement. Then, if you look for acceptance and value the importance of spirituality based on humanity standards and vanity, the judgement will be difficult, because your judgement will be the one that you make against yourselves. If you look for My acceptance in all the laborious steps through which I take you now towards purification, you will see that My path is not stony nor narrow, but a real path of love that leads to eternal freedom. Your judgement can be pacified by the love of each one of you and by others through Me.
You almost have at your doors a punishment imposed by the justice of My Father, and you cannot escape it, but it can be mitigated through prayer and devotion to My Heart. Start right away, My children, love each other right now, be free now, do not wait until it is too late... Man needs time to change, begin by having few expectations of yourselves, so your expectations of others can diminish until they are extinguished.
Write My Words in your heart and contemplate them diligently. Man is deceived by his hopes, but My Words are Words of truth and of eternal life; they will never disappoint you, have faith in Me.

My beloved one, let us work now on the dryness of the soul. Let us go directly to the computer. That is right, let us begin with a prayer...
When the soul feels empty, it is looking for freshness and liquid to drink; it asks itself many times: Where is my God to refresh and quench my thirst? Where is the soft breeze of my Jesus? Pray for a moment and wait. Pray again, wait... pray... wait... there is no answer... Tears begin to flow to direct the quest, the soul is thirsty, struggling to control that thirst... It waits and waits... Then in silence it abandons itself, realizing that it is freeing energy without results... It accepts and now prays without words...
It is like the summer heat in the middle of the desert, when dryness is felt, when the hot wind hits the face and the quietness makes you wonder; how can life exist here? Skin turns dry, thirst begins, you can feel your skin burning and you ask again: Where is beauty in the desert? Where are the milky cactus and flowers that attract bees to extract honey?
It is the same... Now the clouds begin to cover the hot sun... Tired, you relax and close your eyes. The sweet current turns into fresh spring; the hot breeze brings a soft and gentle freshness, you fall quietly to sleep...
My beloved one, what I have described is how the soul, in dryness to revive itself, issues up its last energy in the heat of the search of water to drink. It is on the road at night where lights are so strong that they blind you and make you anxious because the beauty of life is leaving. What do you do? You free all your energy trying to find the beauty and, during the process, tire yourself. The sun is so strong, it dries every spring of energy coming out from you and makes you thirstier. In trying to control the situation, searching for freedom of the spirit, on the contrary you have not found life.
Finally, in abandonment, peace and freedom, the cold breeze, freshness, come from God to restore you. The desert turns into a garden of beauty, mountains shadow the desert and light up their lavender, softened by the sundown... Everything you thought was dying because of the burning sun is now clearly irradiating the beauty of the desert!
What I want to teach you, is to be quiet, to be calm, to be in silence during the dryness of the soul. Wait patiently for God to show His face. Do not fear, do not be afflicted, you are not alone. Abandon yourselves and accept yourselves, deprive your soul, uncover yourselves, be humble. Do not forget that humility is founded on silence. Wait, as I have waited; look inside yourselves, be simple. Do not struggle for control. If you are walking in a sandstorm, be calm, you cannot control a sandstorm... In the same way, the soul cannot control dryness because control would only delay, causing more blindness. Wait for the dawn, with it, all will be renewed.
Rage and Anger… Disfigure Even the Most Beautiful Face
DH-57
26-Oct-96
The Lord
Calm down, little one, today we are going to address a topic I would like you to reflect on for the next few hours.
I want you to know that anger is similar to fire, since just as fire is vehement and violent when it gets stronger and cannot be seen for the smoke it emits, so anger makes man commit a thousand excesses and does not let him see what he is doing.
Do not be bad tempered like that, because rage is so harmful to man that it disfigures even the most beautiful and pleasant face, making it look like a furious monster who spreads terror all around it. If this is what it does externally, can you imagine how it disfigures the inside before My eyes? Let us talk about it.
Rage often makes men rush towards revenge, blasphemy, insults, backbiting, scandals and even worse, because it darkens reason and makes the human being act irrationally or crazy. Read Job 7,7. Rage makes man lose all his prudence, often his reason and sleep.
While you are feeling irritated, your fellow man’s action will seem like a grave and unforgivable insult, but then when your anger dies down you realize things were not as bad as you had thought.
When rage assaults you, pray for Me to release you from your violent passions. How many people who cannot control their anger, blaspheme terribly against Me and My saints! The irascible have an unhappy life, since they are always in a violent, agitated situation, like a storm.
Calm your anger when it arrives with meekness. Remember Me, My Passion, My Cross. Did I get angry? You have no idea how much I like a meek man who suffers critical moments, persecutions and insults calmly. Now, some people boast of being meek but without reason, because they are meek when it is to their advantage or with those who praise them, but they breathe fury and revenge against those who insult or malign them. The virtue of meekness consists of being meek and patient with those who mistreat and abhor you.
Read Colossians 3,12. Do you want others to tolerate your defects and to turn a blind eye if they have reason to complain about you? Well, you should do likewise. When your neighbor offends you in anger, answer him quietly and humbly, and you will weaken him. Look, once a monk was walking through a sown field and the owner came out and started insulting and swearing at him. "Brother, you are right, I was wrong, forgive me," answered the monk. The farmer was mollified to the extent that not only was he no longer angry, but he wanted to follow the monk and enter his monastery... The proud turn the humiliations they receive into a banner of their pride, while the humble turn the contempt they receive into a banner of their humility. That is why I said, "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you," Matthew 5,11.
Do not feel bad; I love you; you have to learn. The meek are useful to others because there is nothing better at inciting others to devote themselves to God’s service than seeing a person full of meekness and joy when they are reviled. This virtue becomes evident during times of adversity; just as gold is tested in the crucible, so man’s meekness is tested in the forge of humiliation.
Songs 1,11 [verse 12 in newer translations] speaks of the fragrance of the nard. In effect, it is a sweet-smelling plant, but it only gives off its perfume when rubbed hard. A man is meek only when he is seen to suffer patiently and without anger, ill-usage and insults. Only then can the fragrance of the nard or the virtue of meekness be perceived.
I want you to be pacified, even with yourselves. When you do something wrong, I want you to be sorry, ashamed and promise not to do it again; but I do not want you to be annoyed with yourselves, because when you are upset you can never act sensibly or prudently.
When you are angry, do not do nor say anything while your anger lasts, because everything you say or do will be unfair. An angry man does not act in accordance with Divine Justice. Be careful also not to ask anyone who might make you angry for advice. Calm this vice with virtue. With meekness you will vanquish anger. Read John 18,11. If I sent you out to forgive and I set an example, how can you not forgive others? Lift your mind up to Me; ask Me for patience and love. Look at My Cross and see if you still feel angry. Look at the enormity of your sins and bear everything that happens to you calmly. But, avoid things, occasions and people who might take away your peace …
I Do Not Live in Noise; You Will Find Me in Silence
DH-58
27-Oct-96
The Lord
My Daughter, you are not alone. I am in your soul, in your spirit. Sometimes you feel lonely, because I take everything from you so that there can be no mistake in the interpretation of My Words.
You do not know how good it is that you turn toward Me, for Me to have you. And it is in the silence of your heart where you will mostly find Me. I do not live in noise, in confusion; you can find Me in silence.
I want to talk to you about the importance of silence and humbleness of heart. Let us start with silence. A silent heart has been stripped of the excitement of feelings in the presence of My Spirit. Thus, this Spirit fashions the soul, elevated in such a way as to worship God... Therefore, it is a silent soul, concentrated on its God. I have told you that blessed are the clean of heart, because they will see God. When your entire person - particularly your heart - is in silence, you can see God everywhere because your heart is pure.
If men would calm their minds, they would worship Me and follow Me, and seeking My Way they could become saints, My saints... I want all My children to look for and follow My Way with pureness of heart. I am not keeping or hiding anything from you.
This is why, My children, you must silence your inmost being, silence your heart and you will see Me. I give you all My being and I want all your being, though I am not forcing you, because My Love and the fruit of My Love is at your service. The fruit of this service is the silence of My Heart; I am the murmur, the soft, cold breeze that refreshes your anguished soul. Silence your hearts and live in My faith.
Be united always and avoid arguments, because he who is with Me cannot be against Me. I am the Light, I am the Word incarnated.
Give Me the silence of your heart and I will turn it into a clean, pure heart, a heart that lives with its God, that sees its God.
Now let us see the humble heart. A humble heart is a heart that always wants and accepts My Will, whatever is most acceptable for Me, whatever I would like most, with resignation and total abandonment.
If you remain in peace and are resigned to listening and praying, to good in accordance with My wishes, you will not be lost. If you are looking for happiness in things for your own interest, you will not find rest or freedom or peace, since you will find fault with everything you find. But if you are humble of heart, if you just want to please God and tend towards the divine, you will be ensuring a lasting foundation, based on great wisdom and purity.
Things will pass and even My children will pass with them, since I am the One who does not change.

The Lord
My little one, shelter your Lord for He is so tired... There are so many men who reject My Mercy, My Love, My forgiveness! And they do not know that when they reject these gifts, they are rejecting My Kingdom in their hearts. They carry on looking, but they will never find Me, because they are looking in the wrong place and are doing things wrong.
My children, My Kingdom is already in you. When you accept My Mercy, when you accept My Love, when you accept My forgiveness, you experience My Kingdom in you. I give you the strength to open your hearts and let My Kingdom enclose you more and more. Those who are living in My Kingdom will be an example for those to whom I am sending you. I love you; you fill My Heart with joy when you abandon yourselves to Me.
I invite you every day to perceive your own feelings and, then, to grasp My Love, which is the pillar for you to progress in your development.
My Love is with you and without emotion in your being. If you look inside yourselves to find your feelings, you can motivate them positively to do good. The essence of love is faith, and faith is not a feeling. It is a commitment. Peace comes into existence when you are united, in harmony with yourselves in My Love.
My children have known but one way for so long, it is time for them to look inside themselves and let peace settle there. World peace comes from inner peace. Peace is harmony and union with the self, the spirit. Search for calm so that My Love can settle in you, a place for yourselves in which you can focus on your feelings and direct them in a loving, curative, powerful way. This is where freedom exists. Trust in God through My Love solidifies the position of your identity in Him.
If you sin, be sorry. A humble heart and an act of contrition will bring the hope of forgiveness. You recover the once lost grace and are enveloped in My loving, saintly embrace. You must not let the demons of guilt, of bitterness and of self-pity overwhelm you. You are My creation; My Love, My Peace live in you. All you need to do is to recognize My Love, My Peace and to embrace Me through love, through the union of you with Me. You have My strength, I live in you. Leave the falsities of your conscience that you yourselves have shaped and live in the true conscience of your being in Me... Only there will you find the abyss of unity with Me and the peace of love.
Change your lives. Do not wait wonders from Heaven, thinking that one day you will wake up changed. You are being given the grace for a while longer. I am with you to support you, to help you face the illusions of interpersonal fears, but I give you the power to make the decision to end the confusion in your perturbed hearts and to turn them into hearts that are united in My Love. Make the decision and begin to walk. My door is open. Know you must pass through it; healing is but a step away...
Satan Will Always Act Cunningly
DH-60
28-Oct-96
The Lord
My beloved one, can you not see how they have left you? Why do you allow your peace to be taken away? Satan will always act cunningly because he knows what can torment you. Do not let him get away with it. In any situation that you see or feel uncomfortable, quickly get away, evade, escape. No person, no event, is worth the peace of the soul. Then, the best thing is to keep back. Avoid talking with those who cause trouble for you.
You are not sprinkling the house with holy water. Sprinkle everything, food, objects; everything that enters your house. And when somebody that makes you uncomfortable calls, sprinkle the telephone too, why not? You do not know how important holy water, like all the Sacramentals, is in these times...
Tell the person who will call you first thing in the morning that you are busy – and you will be - you must not make conversation, please. I do not want your uneasiness to increase... Do you love Me? Sleep, My child, I will keep you company.
