I Am Firm in My Desires

CL-41

10-Jan-96

Jesus

Stop crying and let us return to our work…

The miracles of faith are not possible without total acceptance of My Will by the one who wishes those same miracles. They are things that proceed from Me and must not stop in you because they must return to Me… Man must be ready for anything if he wants to be Mine, and must not attach any conditions to the fulfillment of My plans.

Everything must be left so that My Will can be accomplished on earth and, by giving up everything, you find everything truthful, as in Heaven.

Oh, child, you are sad because you do not find stability. Have you thought carefully about why I am opposed to things being done the way you wish?

You must think that, My being a very tenderhearted Father, there should exist some reason of Mine that prevents Me from consoling you in your sorrows. Men are instruments that cannot stop Me from doing My Will and no one ever altered the course of My Providence in aiding all of you. Be reasonable; do not be stubborn and degrade yourself for lack of faith… for I am firm in My Will.

 

No, I Do Not Sleep

CL-42

10-Jan-96

Jesus

Man should consider that, while I make him practice annoying exercises, I have provided for him. I do not leave him alone because at this moment he needs Me the most. I do not abandon My favorite creature.

The important point is to believe, even when everything else around oneself is falling apart. And where is your God that promised to help you in all adversities? Is He perhaps sleeping? No, I do not sleep. I know well how you are. I see it. You are in My crucible and must allow Me to have free rein in you; otherwise, everything will fall apart for you.

Therefore, I am here to assure all of you that you are Mine, and I always consider you as such. If something unpleasant happens to you, do not act as children who do not know and cry. I know and this is enough for you. Otherwise, think about yourselves, because you must get use to reflecting on what concerns you, not on what concerns Me.

Do you understand, My beloved? Have a lot of confidence. Try hard to enter through the narrow doorway, by which you would not want to enter. And if you think that I augment your sorrows more each time, I say to you that it is true because I want greater affection from you. Right now you do not understand what I am telling you, but you will later.

You are placed between hell and your nothingness. It will please Me if you confess to Me your helplessness and you truly continue doing that. There will be no deception because I will always guard you against it.

I cannot hide from you, oh daughter of that Mother who knows how to protect secretly and powerfully, that the game is not simple, but here you must be and unite your efforts, miserable in themselves but necessary, to make you worthy of her and of Me. How many times have I made you pray so that you may understand these hours!

Do not continue fearing them because the grace that I will give you through our incomparable Mother is great… It is to the children’s benefit to be united to the Mother, and he who is united to Mary, sees on earth that her maternal power has no limits.

Go rest for a few minutes, but before you do, know that My comfort has been requested by the souls for whom you pray.

 

Your Will Be Done Not Mine

CL-43

10-Jan-96

Jesus

The things I tell you now are for your instruction and so that others may make them objects for meditation. They are stated in a very explicit way so that there will be no doubt in their minds and also so that it may assist in the sanctification of other souls.

I shall speak to you about the favorite topic in which you find abundant nourishment.

What feelings did I have when asking the apostles to keep Me company praying in the night of Gethsemane? It was sadness and a premonition of agony that moved Me to ask for that help and I asked openly, overtaken by the great knowledge of the complete sacrifice that was awaiting Me.

But they did not have the necessary comprehension as My witnesses since they could not understand, not even vaguely, what I wanted when asking for their help. I was well acquainted with them, but for their future education, I did not speak because I was hoping to see them included in My suffering, since contemplating they would have been united to Me in their future sorrows of apostles. So that each one of you knows that to fulfill My desires, it is always necessary to pray and to be vigilant.

But this is not all, it is only the part that corresponds to you. And My part? My humanity greatly resisted taking the first step into that Garden that was to be the place of My capture and the beginning of My sufferings, always anticipated and now present. How many times had I prayed in that Garden without experiencing even an instant of indecision! But to give you all hope, My beloved ones that are put on earth to continue My Passion, I wanted to manifest My weakness and in this way, reinforce yours.

If I proceeded in this manner, you also should ask for real help with prayer and to watch over the suffering of your brothers, mankind.

But this is the exterior side of the events. I was like an overloaded boat about to cross an ocean full of squalls. I was relying only on My gift and in the illuminated power of My Father through which I asked Him to save Me from that hour… Sadness, grief, solitude, faintness: that was My state…

And you, how are you now? Do you understand, then, that I make you in My image? You, too, put your knees on the ground of your sacrifice and say with Me: "Father, if it is possible, take this cup away from Me, but Your will be done, not Mine." And when you have said with intimate conviction: FIAT, then everything will stop and you will be renewed in My Love.

 

Mary Is the Sublime Creature

CL-44

11-Jan-96

Jesus

Joyous movement and the splendor of Celestial Spirits that, united in charity, sang praises. Such was Mary’s entry into Heaven when she was taken to eternal happiness. But the greatest happiness was Mine because I was placing My Mother, for whom I had reserved so much splendor, in Glory. Of course now is not the time for you to be able to understand what happened that day, so much more is the love that reigns in Heaven than what the majority of you can understand in a limited way. For that reason, I do not speak to you about this to describe that festival. More useful it is for Me to refer to some of the benefits that one has been able to obtain from that day in which My Mother was taken away from mankind.

Above everything else, the glory and the grandeur of a mother is decency and protection for her children. Therefore, it was possible for her help to end up being a powerful living reality for all of you, and believe Me, this is no small thing. Then the fact that she took her place in Heaven was cause for pleasure for her children who had already found glory in Paradise.

What most interested the Trinity was to receive the most faithful copy of Me, which was My Mother, and with this there was major resonance in Heaven. Indeed, the satisfaction of the Father is infinite because of the likeness between her and Me; the satisfaction of the Word is likewise infinite because of her maternity. And the satisfaction of Love is also infinite because in love, Mary is the sublime creature you will know. For that reason the omnipotence of the Father, the maternal right of the Word made Flesh, and the Grace of the Holy Spirit for Mary were the prerogatives that I acquired from the moment in which I took her into Heaven with Me. So, the accumulation of these prerogatives came to be an enormous quantity of benefits for Mary’s children, good and bad.

Before her entry into Heaven, your mediator, the most valid intercessor after Me, was missing but, since then, you have to your advantage, the most powerful and most affectionate Mother. Whoever avails himself of her will have what My kindness has prepared for the future glory of each one. Whoever does not, shall remain miserable because I have put everything in her hands and I do not want to do anything without her.

I tell you that you do not love this Mother very much and for this reason you do not consider that she would be useful and even necessary for you. The glories of Mary are these: to do good and to love. How many times must she resort to simple means to make you all accept her love! And, are not the small graces that you ask of her simple appeals? Wake up, My brothers, and run to our Mother; this is what I want.

 

The Summit of Love: Humility

CL-45

11-Jan-96

Jesus

To humble yourself before others is an effective way to advance that produces vigorous effects on the Divine Love. But to humble yourself means to know your own nothingness, not with empty words, but truly how it is.

He who attempts to humble himself will feel a great resistance in doing it and will find a thousand reasons not to do it. Resistance is good because the value of humiliation consists precisely in defeating it (the resistance); on the other hand, thinking about humiliation is bad. One can say that the less you think about this topic, the more you gather fruits derived from humiliation.

I am directing you towards the summit of love and I always prepare for you new humiliations, precisely to make you suffer. Through experience I demonstrate to you the sport of highs and lows, and you truly run next to Me like a deer over the steep slopes of your mountain. By reaching the top, you will master the distance covered and new horizons will be opened to you. If you are tired of following Me, it is not enough motive to abandon Me.

I know, many miseries are merging to suddenly drown you, and I warn you so that you will be firmly united to Me, your infinite richness. The end of everything will come the moment you receive My proof. In this there is no doubt because My Word is given.

Confine your sufferings in Me, I ask you to do this constantly. Subsequently, I shall open your mind and your heart so that you can see and love your Creator in the state of wisdom.

 

I and Only I… Am Love

CL-46

11-Jan-96

Jesus

Many times you get confused, My daughter; you hear My voice and follow it a little in darkness and, urged by My strength, you decide to accept My voice. Since you do not see Me, you become vexed and it seems to you that it is not My voice. You pause, and once again you accept.

You are a child… Listen to Me. I shall be gentle with you who sometimes distrusts and then accepts, but will be firm with those who boast. What is more, the water that takes the thirst away and which I repeatedly promise you through My Gospel, is so sweet in you, that you can very well say that you have proof. But I am inexhaustible in sweetness, and what today seems immense to you, tomorrow will seem small, is the fairground attraction of the infinite.

These wounds that you see so lucid are yours. This Heart that you admire in delirium is yours. Lean again on Me; listen to My heartbeats, they are the echo of My Mercy that is holding back weakly and that mankind abuses. What must I do to attract them without the danger of them abandoning Me out of meanness? I am all Love and I take great pains to make them understand.

If they do not believe, what will they do afterwards without Me? Is it not enough that I put at their disposal everything created in order to make them believe? Oh, My beloved ones, it all depends on you! If you want My happiness, take great pains to understand Me. I will not ask you for great sacrifices; I am happy with little. You can give Me joy because I help you with this.

Whoever does not want to come near out of fear, call out to My Mother with all your soul and tell her about your anguish. See, how easy it is to give Me pleasure?

Look at Me kindly. I am He whom love has turned into a madman before your eyes. I am the one who before anyone else, has known how to give you the joys that you hope for. I am He who burns with love and who makes you burn with love. I and only I… am Love.

 

Mercy and Justice

CL-47

11-Jan-96

Jesus

I shall give food sparingly to the greedy person and shall put abundance on the table of the humble one. He who hides behind selfishness will not find Me satisfied, and I shall be generous with whoever extends his arms. It is My eternal Justice that regulates the world and, although mitigated by mercy, it is always known and valued.

If I were dealing with loving creatures, love and mercy would suffice, but I have before Me many who understand one act of Justice more than the other [love and mercy].

Furthermore, they fear Me for this without understanding that in Me, there is unlimited power, be it Mercy or be it Justice, and that it is immaterial for Me to use one or the other. My wish concerning the actions of men is not relative but absolute in relation to Me because I am unalterable and I do not change My Will for any of man’s contrary or delaying actions.

But I speak to you with a preference for Mercy because what I want is for your good and for the child it is much easier to receive it through Mercy. But one of My attributes is also Justice, which is infinite as is My kindness. So, in order to favor My inclination to be kind, I have arranged that My same infinite Justice might be satisfied through the humanity taken on by Me.

Therefore, on the one hand, Justice leans on My humanity; on the other, Mercy comes from My very own humanity, perfectly in accordance with Justice. He who loves finds everything necessary to manifest his love because love teaches everything.

You, the miserable ones, through My Justice have become rich in My Mercy and you can truly please Me if you allow yourselves to be covered with My humanity that embraces all your deficiencies and miseries.

 

I Am the Head…You My Members

CL-48

11-Jan-96

Jesus

If in the Mystical Body the members function in accordance with the Head, everything will be well arranged and not only for the present hour, but also for the future, for eternity. I am your head, you are My limbs destined to form one-body with Me, or rather in Me since I have fully justified you, My members and My glory.

Go on from foolishness to great things. I mean that you must decide on the importance of your state as My members, by which you will be so united to Me that you will become one single thing. The rest is invaluable, when all things are subject to the Holy Will of My Father, who wanted all glories to be but one Glory: Mine.

 

Thy Kingdom Come

CL-49

11-Jan-96

Jesus

My daughter, the face that you see in your soul is My image. When you see all these things, it is because you see with My eyes. When you write what you never studied or could ever know, it is because My Spirit tells you what to say; and you go on listening to My voice because I live in you. Compare yourself to a light bulb: I am the electric current and you light up only because I give you the energy.

Your soul, upon contact with that divine life that is in you, is the one that moves and yields; it adheres to the hand that moves it and takes divine forms. That grace does marvelous things in souls, when these have no other will but God’s.

When souls, surrendered completely to Me, live to do My Will and living in grace, live in Me and I in them. My image remains engraved in the soul, with indelible characters, and will never erase. My Kingdom on earth will make that possible because with everyone taking My mark in their souls, they will conform their actions and love to My Will. Man will want and desire My reign to come to him with all the force of My Will. And he will pray that it shall be so.

My beloved, you are going to continue suffering; you are going to help Me save many souls. In due course everthing will come.

 

My New City Constitutes the Salvation of Its People

CL-50

11-Jan-96

Jesus

When My reign comes, I shall extend My hand and rescue the rest of My people dispersed throughout the earth. The infidels will be united to them and will invoke My name. All will accept My Justice that will rule with honesty for the humble of the earth and strike down the tyrant, humbling him. To his follower Babel, jewel of the nations, to the proud ornament of the powerful, I will raze with the breadth of My ire… and never will it be inhabited nor populated through generations to come. Its hours are numbered and its days will not be prolonged. I will eradicate its name and roots, converting it into an immense marsh.

My new Zion will rejoice. My new city constitutes the salvation of its people. It will be the refuge of the chosen ones and the repentant that will trust in Me.

Among the people of the earth, the new Zion will rejoice. Every single inhabitant will been forgiven his iniquity. Those whom I help, the liberated ones, will reach this new Zion through a roadway and a road attained by Atonement and Penance, and their hearts will exalt with joy upon passing its doors, for all suffering will have passed.

 

The Son of Darkness Will Rise

CL-51

11-Jan-96

Jesus

Write, little daughter, we shall not omit anything in this agonizing hour in which the world is almost no world but rather the antechamber of hell…

When the divine anger explodes and the empire of the beasts has made possible the final depravation, that son of darkness will rise. His insolence, his astuteness, and his strength full with vigor, put into action, will destroy and annihilate the powerful by the evil power that has been given to him, and with them the faithful that believe in Me and in Me await.

With deceit, his ingenuity will make lies seem like truth, getting whatever he intends. This son of wickedness, engendered by Satan, has all his diabolic intelligence in action. His words resonate in the world, especially his doctrine on earth. It is the subtle sound that fills all spaces, forming in the hearts the advent of that era of terror and evil.

That being is, like a hidden instrument of shrewdness and deceit, a powerful machine that moves men, driving them mad, and leading them to error and confusion. He lives hidden; it is as if everything were only eyes that look at the world; mouth that speaks words that confuse and seduce the minds of man, causing them to rush to their perdition.

He will be worse than anyone else. He will gather the most cruel and barbaric army on earth. He will tread on nations. He will annihilate the same nations that listened to his voice and followed his words.

His power will grow till midday; it will even get to the country where My flock grazes. My army of peace will be partly destroyed and thrown out of the Sanctuary. He will get to Rome. He and his army will profane the sacred place and the sacrifice will be abolished. In his pride, his heart full of hatred, he will carry through the most monstrous action, throwing himself towards where the Pope is, trying to raise himself.

Then, without man’s intervention, he will be destroyed because all his power will be taken away forever. This will happen and then, the advent of My Kingdom that will be an eternal empire… All the peoples of the earth will be ruled by My law…

That atonement and penance which I ask for is necessary to slow done the course that threatens humanity, this humanity that does not want to put away its pride and obey the divine laws.

(In my mind I see a white round clock with roman numerals in black. The hands of the clock show 11:50-51).

These messages must be taught with the greatest discretion because of their apocalyptic character, for not everyone has the sufficient preparation, the one that you all have been acquiring in these past years…

 

My Hour Will Soon Strike…Offer Continuous Prayer

CL-52

11-Jan-96

Jesus

My hour will soon strike for the joy of many souls and the sorrow of others… My messages of love, preparing humanity to face with atonement and penitence the evil that is approaching, are neither heard nor put into practice.

The Divine Mercy, ready to mitigate that evil, is not implored. If there were more souls that atone, suffering for those that neither know nor want to do it, many things would change.

The forces of hell, accumulating all their power, are swiftly deceiving the world in order to unleash the most terrible war that centuries have known.

Since time has passed in vain confirmations and the punishment is imminent, I want, I desire all the formation houses that are dedicated to My service in all the religious orders, to be preparing to be the army that will give the triumph in the decisive battle, in that hour in which I will remove the bad from the earth and institute My reign.

I want My peaceful army to decide with its spiritual force, the destiny of humanity for its own good and grandeur…

With its help, I will settle everything in an instant, everything that man would not be able to achieve but by force of years. I will show Myself to everyone, and even those who deny Me will believe. Because of this, salvation without penance is not possible. Many and great evils will continue to come if penance is not made. Many are the sins, much the pride against God, whose Justice is held back by My Mother’s pleadings and supplications.

My daughter, the evil, the ambition, the pride, and the sensuality of life have created a monstrous present-day sin: the willful negation of the wrong that is done to God through all kinds of sins.

Working in this way, humanity atrophies the collective conscience and imbues in it the erroneous notion of what is natural in life, in order to make believe that everything is lawful if everyone does it…, taking away from it malice and introducing it in the mentality of all people.

Therefore, God is excluded and one must not think that He is offended and rejected when one works unjustly with shamelessness and malice. Pride is reigning in the world, and from that pride sprout all the vices preventing it from acquiring humility, the virtue that would allow it to reach the Divine benevolence and the fruits of charity.

I need souls that by sacrificing themselves voluntarily and lovingly will offer Me continuous prayer and a burning desire for pain because of the offenses committed against My Divine Heart.

The love of the chosen ones of My Eucharistic Heart will have its reward in that same love, having Me always present in everything they contemplate and that surrounds them. The center of their material and spiritual life will be Me, as a foretaste of what will be eternally.

 

You All Shall Be Glorified because You Suffer for Me

CL-53

11-Jan-96

Jesus

Let us continue, little flower of My Passion. Beyond all imagination and inasmuch as man can understand, I experienced in Myself abandonment, pain, and death.

From the first to the last hours of My mortal life, whether in secret or facing everyone, I wanted the sin of My brothers to always be present in Me, and so My soul was pierced by continuous arrows of death, leaving in it indescribable sadness. You cannot attribute to Me any larger grandeur than this: to have made Me the target of all your faults.

I knew extremely well the severity of the offenses that were and would be committed against My Father. My Divinity, having taken My Humanity as its instrument, informed Me of the ugliness that is hidden in rebellion and the resulting disobedience, transforming everything into cries of distress and martyrdom in the soul and body. Yet, only one instant would have sufficed, one single sigh from Me would have been enough to effect the redemption for which I had been sent. Nevertheless, I multiplied these sighs, I prolonged My life here below because Wisdom and Love wanted it so.

Having arrived at the end, I wished to intensify in Myself all kinds of sufferings; I saw everything I had to redeem and that everything was attributed to Me. The height of pain was there in the Garden and, as the Man that I wanted to be, I was terrified, overwhelmed, and physically destroyed. My Angel came and consoled Me, showing Me the sorrows that other faithful creatures of Mine would suffer for this suffering of Mine; glory was not shown to Me but rather love, compassion, and togetherness. That is how I received encouragement, some relief and strength.

Therefore, be faithful to Me because I have placed the fruit of My suffering in you and I have loved you, and I love you with unspeakable sweetness.

You all will complete My own Passion, you will be glorified because you suffer for Me who suffered for you. Moreover, I tell you that if you truly love Me, I shall continue suffering in you. I will transform you in such a way that each one of you will come to be a part of Myself, so that in Me you will live the pain as an active part of My Humanity.

 

Very Few Are Able to Know My Sufferings

CL-54

11-Jan-96

Jesus

I know you want to have an understanding of how I suffered in soul and body for you, My beloved creature. Your wish pleases Me because from everywhere I receive petitions for graces, but very few ask to know about My sufferings.

Many graceless lips, indeed, beg to know things that concern their lives, but whoever asks Me for light in this manner fools himself.

Perfection lies in not desiring anything, in not asking for anything for oneself and on doing this, self-love weakens and, as a necessary result, the creature goes from the contemplation of self to the contemplation of Me. Hence, how sweet it is to hear you asking Me for the knowledge of My suffering!

I want to tell you that in lifting you up to Me, I have made sure to communicate to you an aspiration, each time greater, toward My suffering and, now that you have experienced the joy, I will see that you enter into My sufferings. Only in this way will I enlighten your soul so that it can satisfy your demand of knowing My sufferings. These exceed any word and they can be heard, but not explained.

Of what good would it be, indeed, to talk to you about them if I did not let you experience them? This is what I want, and this is what shall be. Thank you, little one, for carrying My Cross.

 

Are You Not Glad about Having Accepted My Invitation?

CL-55

11-Jan-96

Jesus

The day is announced with the first rays of sunshine at daybreak, and the whole of creation comes into light; an awakening in the luminosity of Heaven is produced in all creatures.

How I worry about you, and you do not know it! How much care I take so that you lack nothing! You are admitted to My banquet as the last beggar at the table of a great Lord. I have seen you and have had great compassion for you because you have presented yourself knowing your misery. You do not fake modesty; you do not hide your past misfortunes; you have no need to pretend, and that pleases Me very much!

"Come higher," I have told you, "come sit next to Me because you are hungry and you are numb with cold. Drink, this wine is My Blood that I shed for your love; eat My Food, for you need to quench yourself."

Are you not glad of having accepted My invitation?

Do you remember when you were far away and listening to the joyful goings on at My table, you were circling around My house and I, looking through the windows of your soul, called you with so much effusion of love? You were reduced to the most lamentable condition. "Come in," I whispered, "come in here with us, try some of that food that one day you tasted." But you were blind, almost deaf, and you did not know how to enter the house.

How many times, going outside and inviting you with small acts, medals, and fragrances, My Mother invited you in, echoing My invitation!

Finally you entered and everyone looked at you, but I was with you. And you took the last place, I allowed you to sit because you were very tired. When I called you near Me, everyone was astonished at My choice, but they were happy at My gesture. Then I ordered My angels to give you My own vestments and you received the ring from My forefinger.

This is the way I have treated you and you have understood well that My Love for you is great. Since then you have put yourself at the head of My repented, faithful ones and have made yourself champion of My Eucharistic Love.

The attitude with which you show your acknowledgment pleases Me so much! Who is to say if I prefer an innocent to a converted sinner? Can it be inferred how much love I place on guarding innocence and how much in redeeming guilt?

Oh, look how great My affection is for all creatures, certainly, but especially for the most needy! Look at this bosom that burns, all of it burns in search of other beloved creatures to redeem. Present your soul to Me because My flames must graze you, must surround you. You must be precisely here, in My bosom because you must burn wholly.

I seek relief for My Love. In Me I am totally happy, but through you I want to empty Myself to many, many of My creatures.

I call you thus because I have wanted to confide in you the secrets of My soul and for you to give testimony of Me, to say how great My wish is to have them reciprocate My Love.

Tell everyone that I await them, that I search for them… Everyone, come to Me, come back to He who loves you with immense tenderness…

 

Do Not Think about Your Sin Anymore, I Have Done Away with It with the Salutary Bath of My Blood

CL-56

11-Jan-96

Jesus

You must think relatively about past times. You need, on the other hand, to look at what I place before your eyes showing My divine wisdom. Direct constantly the gaze of the soul towards Me and do not let it be preoccupied about things that I have already cleared away with a salutary bath of My Blood.

The troublesome thoughts return because one does not believed in My Will, of which the very act of desiring - that is to say the act in which My Will is transformed into action - accomplishes the miracle of definitely erasing all your past sins which have pain and accomplishes the purpose of reforming.

Therefore, whoever looks back with thoughts of anxiety, offends Me and will have no peace as long as they may not believe that what most interests Me in the creature is to destroy sin and its consequences. And, for that reason, no sooner does a soul accept the action of My grace and puts itself at My disposition, then I take the care of removing from it even the smallest stain. And not only this, but I also manage to dissipate your bad habits so that they never return… May everybody be dominated by new and holy habits!

 

Be Careful with Disrespectful Prudence

CL-57

11-Jan-96

Jesus

The prudence you boast about is useless because as long as the truth, which is the same one for everybody, is not spoken, it will not be a certainty. One must know what is true and say it. What is true is an emanation from Me and the origin of what is truthful is vainly searched for outside of Me.

Children, what are you without Me? Do you not remember that you are nothing? Do you want to be certain? Fine, you must believe, not in what you have learned about human things at school; you must believe in the divine school that comes from the infallible laws dictated by Me. Do not doubt! I can and want to give more. I do not restrain the knowledge of the believer but rather, I must increase it and no one can thwart My action.

Teachers, theologians, and saints use with My sheep the understanding that I want. Do not entrench yourselves in disrespectful prudence because it is the one that seeks to restrict My Word within the bounds of customs and of times past. Go forth, the more I call you, the more I give you.

Be calm, I guarantee assistance to those who trust in Me. I mean assistance against the craftiness of My evil enemy that remains tied to the chains of his eternal defeat. He does not prevail if you walk the straight path. I assure you, I confirm it solemnly and, I tell you as a test these words that Satan, certainly, would never say: Blessed be always the Immaculate Conception of My Mother Mary…!

 

My Mother: Few Truly Appreciate Her

CL-58

11-Jan-96

Jesus

Beloved daughter, let us talk of My Mother the Immaculate Virgin. She takes care of her children in such a way that each one of them can have the personal care that is necessary. She intervenes in their affairs, in those that seem difficult to them, and she handles them skillfully, interrupting, leading, and modifying with true maternal wisdom. Destined by Me to be your Mother, she assumes her duty in a unique manner because she has at her disposal all My means and an unlimited love.

Who takes note of her work? A few, a few who truly value her, for they are firmly convinced of her greatness as My Mother. But, think; it is in fact because she is My Mother that she is their Mother and, it is precisely because she became My Mother that she continues doing her vocation with them. They must not think that her work was limited to the time of My mortal life, since she continues doing it and will continue till the completion of the centuries.

You will understand My Mother's sleepless nights as you understand My Love and, for this, you will feel closer to her at the same time that you are with Me. In Me you will find the knowledge of everything and also the knowledge of Mary because she is the Creature that shares in My way of life like I shared in her human nature… I was and am her flesh. She is and will be My Spirit, My countenance, My charity, and My life. The other saints are also deified in Me, but she, My most chaste Mother, has reached the maximum deification, sharing in Me in a unique way as I have said and confirmed.

She can do everything; she does everything. That is why she is feared by Hell, that is why she is blasphemed by the damned who do not know how to make themselves capable of such grandeur. But I do what I want and I infinitely enjoy Myself in endowing that Virginity, which pleases Me so much, with all the attributes that are My own.

That is why Mary is grand, sublime, but knows how to make herself small next to you who consider her your Mother. She knows how to admirably provide for everything, as long as you place your trust in her. You will be her true children if you deal with her in an informal way, simply as it suits those who live in My house and hers. Give her great joy by embracing her because she is a Mother who suffered much when I revealed your difficulties to her.

She is good, she is sweet, and is thrice Holy, our most beloved Mother!

 

Suffering Is a Gift from God

CL-59

12-Jan-96

God the Father

Most beloved daughter, united with My Son in the desire and redemption of the Cross, your soul satisfies for the guilt in the uniting love, found in the tender knowledge of My Goodness which is united to the grief and suffering of the human heart; for by infinite love united to infinite suffering, My infinite Mercy works.

But man ignores this: he does not want to hear talk of pain accepted and desired for love of Me. It is redemption through My Son and of those who are united to Him in suffering, and who calling humbly to My Fatherly Heart, achieve perfect knowledge of themselves, of Me in them.

Do not be sad if finding yourself in this knowledge that you may have to suffer. Suffice to know that for that suffering, I will no longer remember how you may have offended Me. And for those for whom your love has satisfied My Mercy, that suffering will prepare them so that they may receive My gifts.

The luminous souls of high stature that are at My left are the souls that unite themselves to My Son’s pains with their own. Sharing in My eternal Life, they will be and are very close to Me.

I will tell you what the suffering of My Son’s Heart is. You will understand that it is a reality. But I want you to write it for the knowledge of so many souls that do not understand how suffering could make them divine.

My Son’s suffering is latent in the universe ever since He redeemed the human race, and it will be so till the end of time if they do not come to understand that suffering is a gift from God and they reject it. Perhaps if they knew the value that this suffering has before My eyes, then not only would they not reject it, but they would insistently ask Me for it…

Upon giving His life for souls and becoming man in order to be able to suffer and redeem them, My Son elevated the nobility of suffering. He elevated it to such a degree that on being accepted voluntarily by a soul and becoming a scapegoat, the soul instantaneously takes upon itself not its own sufferings but rather part of My Son’s which live forever for the redemption of man.

Suffering involves in itself: light, love, and knowledge of the truth. My Son’s Heart no longer suffers, but His pain will live in the universe as long as men insist on not seeing the light, in hating, and in not wanting to understand that I am the Truth.

My vision takes in what was, what is, and what will be, with such clarity that no one will be able to understand what is all before Me at the same time, without limitation nor space, and that can not only not make a mistake but not even get mixed up… This is why I tell you that, since the redemption of the human race by My Son, We have wanted for His pains, anguishes, sufferings, and martyrdom to remain in time, so that those elected souls, continue partaking of these tribulations and are able to be part of His redemption.

When not one soul is left to redeem and the end of time comes, then the suffering of the God-Man will disappear.

That is why, My daughter, I have wanted to make you see how Jesus’ suffering satisfies… The pain endured by My Son is an inexhaustible fountain of divine goods and gifts, source of sanctity, and eternal life for those who, identified with His Passion, unite themselves to Him, and with Him endure and suffer a martyrdom that is slow but intense in its effectiveness. That is, to bear the physical and spiritual suffering without fainting, smiling at the pain, and wishing to share it with Jesus for the salvation of souls until the end of their days.

Unfortunately, humanity refuses pain more and more and anxiously seeks all the means that science discovers to suppress it. It does not want to accept pain in life and comes in its audacity to reject the merits of My Son’s Passion and Martyrdom in the redemption of man.

In his pride and rebelliousness he wants to come to Me without going through Christ… He does not want a wounded and crucified God to remind him of what He suffered for all men, forcing him to recognize that he is indebted to Him for his redemption.

They want a distant God and a God that will not bother them, without any painful reminders that could cause them remorse. They want God to admit that they, without Him, upon discovering all the mysteries of nature, are taking control of the great hidden force in the universe; to do so, they do not need Him, for they are intelligent and free beings. They ignore that I gave them that intelligence so that they could work for Me in the great work of the universe.

Also those I elevated to the highest dignity want to forge for themselves and others, a God that will submit to their ambitions and whims. They want to change the Church to the materialistic rhythm of the world, introducing in her, ways and customs that border on heresy and error.

Liberty should not mean independence and licentiousness… Evolution does not consist in changing the faith so that the Church will be better. Ever since the Church was founded by Christ and illuminated by the Holy Spirit, it carries in itself all the divine seeds for its gradual development in the ages and for its divine evolution in the souls that form her; and continuing in them everything that, being eternal, can take them to their God.

When they leave the trenches designed by the hand of Jesus, they deviate dangerously towards heresy, rebellion to the divine laws, the arrogance to not follow its laws when they elect themselves to renew their Church.

To come to Me, light unreachable, it is necessary to go through Christ and Mary. One has to follow their footsteps and humbly obey the divine designs. That is how the faithful man must accept it if he wants to find Me who, with My Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, We are one God.

For this, My Son’s Heart that gave the last drops of His Blood for men, wants to remain in the universe by means of His sufferings that live on and remain as help and encouragement for the souls that hunger for the divine and want to unite themselves to Him in the redemption.

In this way His merciful Love becomes present and His redemption everlasting to so many souls that were, are, and will be in the course of all ages.

Suffer silently, humbly, feeling the hunger for the salvation of souls, and going through all the tribulations to the extent that I want to send them. In this way you will unite with the suffering of My Son and I will know that you seek the Kingdom of God in souls.

I Expect Great Things from this Country

CL-60

12-Jan-96

Jesus

The Church is already going through the great trial of fire where she shall be purified, sifted, until the separation of the dregs of humanity comes about. Many will be separated and thrown out because they cannot live together, nor can the good prosper mixed with the bad.

Arrogance is sowing treason among My consecrated ones and, like Judas, they sell themselves for ideas they consider superior to My Gospel message. Their vanity and pride does not want to admit that the divine simplicity of My message is adequate for these times and they try to change My Gospel, making it like the present day world, thus changing the authentic values.

My Gospel is a Divine Message. There is no set time but rather, it was ordained for all times; in its simplicity and purity it is suitable for all souls, for all minds, and for all ages… The creature is not superior to the Creator, or the man wiser than He who gave him life and wisdom and it is the same Wisdom.

The enemies of the soul reign today in the world like a necessity that is admitted and accepted as natural. As this the world is before God; the devil makes himself god and the flesh shows itself in all its nudity, unleashing confused appetites.

The notion of sin is taken away from the soul and it is made to see God as a far off and old-fashioned being whom one must not fear nor obey.

Nevertheless, as evil spreads with ease, there are also good souls that suffer, pray, and love. They will be the ones that will save the world and the Church. Those faithful souls, hidden, ignored, and valuable, will be the ones that make the Church resurrect as new and beautiful.

From this Country I expect great things, for that I placed it under the protection of My Archangels. They will protect it.

Understand, My children, your prayers and fasting have great value. By the prayers of this daughter of Mine and the intercession of My Mother, I have accepted to instruct you a bit more… You must start to live off faith, off each word that, in an incomprehensible manner for man, was directed at you. A bit more… there is little left to tell you… Do not undertake great deeds, live what you posses because, remember that, to whom more is given, more is expected…

Suffering has great value, though I Myself chose it for the salvation of man. For that I also send it to those souls that have been chosen by the Father for a determined end. But they must accept it voluntarily without weakness, as painful and bitter as it may be. I will be your comfort and your friend…

The Penance I Want Is "Interior Penance"

CL-61

12-Jan-96

Jesus

I will concern Myself in the penances that you do without them appearing before the eyes of men. But we must understand each other well. What is the penance that I want from you?

I want to be clear when I tell you that the penance of these times must be the one that produces spiritual strength, that is, you must not offer things, as when humanity was young, but rather affection. This is the penance of the great, the former of the insignificant. At that time I wanted those manifestations; today I want more. My beloved ones and whoever practices less does not do My Will.

You must pay a lot of attention to depriving yourselves of those things that are not things but rather affections. That is why your spirit must sacrifice itself, and the body will easily follow the intention of the spirit. Look into it well because if you do it thus, My Words will prove true to the letter concerning the way to appear outwardly when doing penance. No one must know; I know it and that is enough.

Beloved ones, learn from Me to make interior sacrifices and to grow before My very eyes.

If I want, I will give the great exterior penitence, and then you will do it. But the main penance is still and will continue to be the interior one.

The Transfiguration

CL-62

12-Jan-96

Jesus

As a continuation of My work of salvation, I chose two creatures to represent the past that is projected into the future. I did it at the Tabor through Moses and Elijah. Moses represented the old Judaism; Elijah the future Judaism, the one I will redeem with Me making use of him and with Me in the middle, amid the splendor, like a bridge of unity between the Old and the New Testament.

My Father wanted three of My disciples to be present at My Transfiguration, Peter among them. And He wanted it so that they would be My witnesses and not forget that before the shame, the splendor was manifested in Me. Thus I left the remembrance of majesty to My own, but so that it would serve as confirmation of My Divine work of salvation.

Nobody prevented Me from giving My manifestation to the people or other wiser and well deserved persons. But I wanted to limit Myself to only three among Mine, because before anything else, I had to accomplish My mission in the greatest possible secrecy… It was necessary to proceed step by step and adapt My work to the wise design that the Father wanted to slowly carry out among men.

Peter’s expressions are the same ones that today are repeated by men, drawn but weak. Can you not understand what it is I wish to tell you? You must take everything from Me, light and darkness; you must not choose because you do not know what I need.

Let this show you that your teacher worries a lot about you and that He does not abandon you, even though it might seem so… Without doubt, the road that I propose to you is difficult, but it is possible to walk it with Me. And so, Tabor or Calvary, but always with Me in faith, in trust, and in certainty.

Absolute Sincerity against All Lies

CL-63

12-Jan-96

Jesus

I want absolute sincerity from you as it is needed in pursuing the Truth, as it is the antithesis of the avalanche of lies that surround My chosen ones. And I want it, not only because he who belongs to Me must be truthful, but also for the exercise on which depends a great deal of glory in Heaven.

The field of lies is made by those who deceive so much that they even deceive themselves. Truth, on the other hand, truly liberates and frees from the maliciousness that produces lies.

We will talk of two groups of people: one group attempts to make up lies and deceive themselves in being able to do it with the weapon of truth. But, which truth? The one distorted one by deception, the one built on lies. They are the ones who will not be forgiven because they make use of good and truth in order to do evil and utter lies. They sin against the Holy Spirit and turn into falsehood all the help I give them and color it with disloyalty. How will they be able to come close to the light if they change it for very dense darkness?

But there is another group that lives on the margin of the truth and does not wish to come into it. They are the fainthearted who because of human fear and selfish caution scorn the beauty in which the truth is dressed. I suffered a lot for them too.

Who then will have My approval? The ones who live committed to the truth and do not fear the consequences. My beloved know these things and confirm them with their works and words. They do not ask Me like Pontius Pilate: "What is the truth?", without having had the complete answer to their question. They do not run away from Me, but rather seek Me and confess passionately to Me by telling the truth.

For this reason, be honest, sincere, truthful, coherent with yourselves and desirous of knowing and practicing everything that I teach you: that is to tell the truth.

 

Happy the Ones Who Listen to My Voice

CL-64

12-Jan-96

Jesus

If a coachman whips his horse on a slope and with his shouts spurs his beast on to reach the summit, it is to be expected that the faithful animal, amid the fatigue, will not go backwards because the owner’s voice and his whippings will push him up the hill taking the coach and coachman up the wearying path. But if the horse shows itself incapable of going forward, the intelligent guide will not force his beast too much and will try to reduce the fatigue by taking an oblique path up the slope. This will lengthen the way a little but finally they will arrive at the top.

This is what I do with the souls that wish to climb the mountain of My Love. When it is possible, I guide them so that they climb by the direct route. When exhaustion overcomes them, I lessen the fatigue with some oblique zigzag in the path. And the souls always climb to the top if they listen to Me. But, I do not have a whip in hand; My voice is enough: very sweet and very potent.

Happy are those who listen to My voice, My encouragement. What could make the soul that listens to My voice go back? If I speak, who could cover My tone? By its sweetness I am truly a nightingale; I know how to call and attract with extreme delicacy. How the soul that listens to Me hears much refinement in My voice!

For this reason I am here to declare to you that I must necessarily make you listen to Me because you are Mine in a Divine way.

Those who love things in an unruly way, what can they understand? What do they understand when I tell them that I must concern Myself with you because you belong to Me, soul and body?

They know about ownership in the sense of usefulness of property, but their God does not love to have some benefit nor is He moved by passion… They would have to be pure, free of all their self-esteem, of all lustfulness. Then they could have an idea of how I treat them. And this is what they do not understand when they see Me nailed on the Cross. They do not understand that what moves Me is pure love, the love that saves, the love that fears nothing in order to bring happiness to the creatures to whom He so generously gave of Himself and by Himself, the creatures that were made to enjoy My same happiness. That is, the happiness that is based on the infinite, that has immortality as its boundaries, and the infinite light as its framework.

You who listen to Me, believe in My Love, but believe that in manifesting My Will to you by dealing with you as My belongings, I want you to allow yourselves to be led by Me with total trust. Because not only do I know what I am doing, but what I do is dictated by My Heart, the pure lover of mankind to whom I wish to give enormous treasures as long as they do not reject Me, as long as they do not forget Me.

Sway, you souls that belongs to Me, the torch that I give you to light the way for your brothers. The light must not be placed under a sack. I want it on high to light the house. Light the food that I have My beloved ones bring. Illuminate the faces of those who look at Me and you will have accomplished your work. Over there are they if they turn to look at the darkness. I guide you; you imitate Me. Do the same and you will please Me… I give you My pains as a present, thank you for consoling Me.

 

Once There Was A Man

CL-65

13-Jan-96

Jesus

Do My beloved souls wish to listen to their Master’s words? Open your ears and at the same time do as Mary did at My feet. I have many Marys at My feet and if they were to move, their movement would upset Me, their striving for almost no nourishment, for things that do not have real value. You, however, value the choice and listen to the story that I will tell You:

Once there was a tall and strong man, who departed for the towns and cities teaching things never before heard. People were attracted to that man and everyone who heard Him was astounded. He gave advice, spoke of His Father, and called all who listened to Him brothers. It seemed that time spent with Him had always been short, so people came back to Him, eager to listen to Him, enraptured with His affable manner.

But one day some wicked men became envious of Him and swore to kill Him. They were mean individuals who were afraid to lose their own prestige; they were the insincere ones who feared His Word that knew no human fears. For this reason they had Him arrested and crucified between two thieves; He died, forgiving His executioners…

 

The Victims of My Love Have a Motto: Sacrifice

CL-66

13-Jan-96

Jesus

The victims of My Love are chosen from a restricted number of souls whom I mark with My Love. They are crucified to the world and from the world they receive sorrows, not the sorrows that pride causes each one, but rather the grief that compensates for the sins of the world. The one that I choose must not worry about himself, because the true victim has a motto one word: sacrifice. I select the souls that I Myself predispose for that service; otherwise, no one would be fitting because this work is not only difficult, but impossible for the creature.

In the unlimited horizon of the Redemption, I do not want to be alone. My Father has sent Me. I unite Myself with others who will give testimony of My redeeming work, precisely to have reproduced in them some of My characteristics as universal Victim, Victim for everyone.

My victims do not have in themselves the strength because they are, as everyone else, deprived of strength. My victims have no virtue unless shared, and have no love unless received from Me. Nevertheless, they can do everything I wish to the point that one of those victims can place himself between Satan and the poor sinner, defeating the first and consoling the second.

I want to give relief to the heart of one victim; I want to open My Spirit and comfort her.

And you, do you love Me? Oh fatigued soul, do you wish to lean a little on My arm? Come, come to Me to rest a little; you must take refuge in My arms because there is still more for you. Look at My hands, lean your head on My side! You must believe that I love you, but not as much as you think, because I love you much, much more. And, jewel of My Heart, open for Me the path that will give you the happiest union with Me. Open that heart of yours, because I must actually place a thorn from My crown in it. And, I do not talk in metaphors; you will feel it; you will see that in having made yourself My victim of love, the greatest glory will be for you because everyone will see how I delight in you.

And do you love Me? Repeat it again, always tell Me that you love Me. Each time that you tell Me, you satisfy this thirst that consumes Me, that parches Me so much. You know it, I have few souls and, I want those few to be all Mine, only Mine. I will provide you with everything; you must not think about anything but My Love. This is the only problem in your life and, to love is your task; to love when others do not; to love when others sin; to love when others sleep, are disturbed, distance themselves, get lost… You must love as I want: passionately, hopelessly.

If you do this, I will make you remove the veil of mystery and you will see what you do not see now and would want to see. I will not hide anything from you if you give yourself totally to Me… Search, search in your soul if there is something you have not given Me. I want everything and I will give you everything… And do you love Me?

 

I Am the Good Shepherd

CL-67

13-Jan-96

Jesus

The prayer I accept and listen to can be made any time, in any place, without external conditions, as long as it is truly felt and completely in accordance with My wishes.

Do not ponder if, with deeds, I answer that My hour has not yet come, as I said at Cana. I am accustomed to doing it this way so that whoever implores Me, will be very desirous of what he asks for, and at the same time will render Me worship, a necessary condition for the attainment of Paradise. Yes, a necessary condition, because upon listening to it, I also will have in view before Me mainly the future life in which you will find all desires fulfilled.

I do not wish for you to look for a grace at each step, because you must value, more so than you do, the graces that I grant without you asking Me for them. I do not want you to think that you are alone when I have already manifested to you, in an open or veiled manner, that I always help you, all the time. But I approve that you, pressed by grave necessities, come to remedy them by disclosing your impotence to Me and thus asking for My help and protection.

How great it is to attend to those whom one loves! How pleasant it is to give a creature something that will be of help or comfort, more so when it means to give a loved one the pleasure of fanning the air that surrounds them. It is wonderful to help one who is loved and I assure everyone that I experience greater joy in giving then you in receiving.

Thus you must believe and not assume that if I make it known to you that My time has not yet come, it is because I do not want to listen to you. Do you understand now?

Otherwise, may it remain very firm in your mind that I watch over you, infinitely more than you think and that nothing escapes Me, absolutely nothing, of what you say happens to you. Am I not the Good Shepherd who has known how to give His life for His sheep? And to give My life is immensely more than to give that solace that you ask of Me, the minimum graces that you need. To the one who does not understand the significance of those words, that is, hearing and maybe believing, is a child that does not understand anything but his own comfort and forgets that I, more than anything, have given My life for you.

I am a Father who feeds babies and wants some of them to grow and come to be an offspring that joyfully would go about My house, to make celebrations all around Me. For this reason I speak of prayer, of the joy that I experience in listening to you and of the greater joy that I have in denying you certain things, with the purpose of weaning you and making you grow beautiful and strong in front of Me. The one who is father or mother among you, reflect and say what difference is there between listening to the lament of a baby who avidly seeks his food and, the frank pleading of a child who, tired of running through the house, comes and says to you: "Dad, mom, I am hungry." I tell you, to the baby you will give some sweet milk and will put him down to rest, while to the child you will give a good meal with much more substance than the milk and you will be much happier to see this child eat than the baby.

Children! I delight in giving all that I have, but I do not give without foreseeing the good that I must give you. Speak, seek, and always desire My Wish that is just, holy, full of love, and very prudent. The more you do My Will, the more you will come to be loved by Me and, consequently, you will find your prayers well received.

 

My Vicar: Victim Pleasing to My Eyes

CL-68

14-Jan-96

Jesus

My Heart saddens because My Vicar is surrounded and besieged by enemies who, as hungry beasts, would like to tear apart his heart, formed according to Mine… In that heart they wish to once again drive in the lance that opened My side, to assure themselves that I, in My Church, have died forever.

Yes the lance pierced My side, entering the Heart, thus the world was redeemed; also in his heart, by the open wound in his chest, love gushes forth to help Me in the redemption of the world.

Humanity needs many victims, atoning victims that will appease the Divine anger; his sacrificed heart has an immense value. Those who hate him most will carve the pedestal of his glory.

Those who now triumph will disappear like smoke, while he, dejected and withstanding all kinds of pains, will resist the beatings of the storm.

This victim, so pleasing to My eyes, uniting himself to My Heart sacrifices himself and suffers for iniquities. Fixing My eyes on the world – and only because of that, he has merited that I not permit him to perish.

All who have escaped corruption, unite yourselves and offer with him your sufferings and your hearts with Mine.

The sin that comes from the modern Babylon, more evil and abominable than that of Belshazzar, has corrupted everything and few are the ones that have not been contaminated.

Babylon, you will see yourself surrounded by flames; the Divine fire will fall upon you! Those that adored you, ignite the flames up to the bowels of your land! Your worshipers will perish with you, den of filthy beasts! You who have raised yourself in your pride, proclaiming yourself queen of the world and civilization, snatching away from Me the sovereignty of saving souls; the hurricane of My wrath will expel your ashes and those of your worshipers, sons of Satan. Your memory shall be cursed… You shall see Rome rise, full of power and beauty, as the wife of the Lamb.

You preferred Satan’s dominion to that of My loving Heart. That is why, turning into a great demon, that prostitute which seduces the world, you have deserved the Divine curse and will be erased from the face of the earth. Humanity will be purified without you.

It would seem that I hide Myself and abandon My Church, and it is with that I prove and increase their faith, inciting their love. I give proof that I am here and I guard the integrity of My Spouse. My Heart gives her the breath that makes her and will make her strong… until eternity.

The last thrashings of the beast are of triumph, filling with consternation the heart of the Pontiff who sees the earth divided now. But the strength of evil will not last much longer; it will destroy itself. I will confuse the proud and place My Divine Heart in the spouse’s breast. This signal shall be the shield where all the intents of the infernal spirit to silence her will crash.

The vigor of the Husband shall return to the Wife and the signal for combat will be given in Heaven.

 

Love and Justice

CL-69

14-Jan-96

Jesus

My Reign is much closer than what you all can imagine. But before that, men are going to destroy each other because of that unlimited ambition for power, riches, and dominion. Man has forgotten My Law and marches in an unbridled race towards his imminent ruin.

My Reign is going to implant itself in those who, maintaining their heart and spirit clean, knew how to make of whatever is around them an altar in which My image reigns.

The Pope will see the destruction of Rome and the Vatican trampled and plundered, and he will suffer as the Father of Christianity. From his lips will pour forth an anathema against those who, forgetting their faith, will unite with the Beast. The experiences that he is going to suffer, and what he is going to see, will make him kneel and lift his arms to beg, demanding forgiveness.

For My Reign on earth, it is necessary that My Justice must walk hand in hand with My Love. For this, there are souls that anxiously follow the divine route of resignation. Men do not recognize the significance of that resignation! Their offenses keep accumulating for their perdition! They run the path of pleasure and licentiousness as frenzied beasts!

I want to free men of countless evils; I want for youth to direct themselves toward My Heart, to learn about the Truth, so that the lie of the Beast will not pierce their hearts.

I want all the sufferings of humanity to be united voluntarily to those that My Heart suffered, so that this sacrifice may be the best sacrifice through which men find God.

The souls that I elect, I submit in this world to a constant progression of purification, to a dark night where the Divine Love will be their only comfort and desire. This purification is contrary to human nature, but is a fountain of good for the soul…

While others destroy, you work tirelessly. I want everyone to make a visit to those who suffer: the sick, the prisoners, and the needy. Ask them to offer their sufferings to the suffering of My Divine Heart. The penitence of these souls will be the triumph of My Church… Do not lose hope if someone does not seem to listen. Once the seed sown, I will do the rest. Build the foundations of My Empire of Love.

Obtain prints of the Sacred Hearts, make copies, spread this devotion because in the ocean of love of these hearts, the ship of My Church will run aground. In the reverse it will say: "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of all armies, full are the heavens and earth of the majesty of Your Glory. Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son, Glory to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be. Jesus, Mary I love you, save souls."

All the consecrated souls to our Hearts form part of this army and their prayers and penances are the weapons with which the enemy will be crushed. Pray everyone so that this will be soon!

 

When I Took Your Heart, I Gave You Mine

CL-70

14-Jan-96

Jesus

When I took your heart and gave you Mine, it was a mystical exchange. In your heart I laid My Love, My feelings, My grief and anguish, My happiness, and My pains. You must have felt in you some of what I suffered for mankind; you must have felt with Me the redemption of sinners; for that reason, through participation, your heart should have become like Mine. That is the flame that you sometimes feel consuming you; that anguish that drowns you is the pain that pierces your heart. In this way you atone for the faults of so many sinners who caused those pains to My Heart.

If I took your heart, it was to guard it from evil, to bring new life to it, and keep it united to Mine in a continuous union of love in suffering. Whenever you feel that fluttering, it is My Heart beating out of love for some ungrateful creature. Pray then for that creature to return to the right path, to love, to My Heart. Go to the Garden of Olives and think that you are sharing those sufferings with Me.

 

Tell Me, What Is Your Love for Me?

CL-71

14-Jan-96

Jesus

Not all Christians follow Me, inasmuch as some are Christians only because of the right I have over them, not because they really follow Me. For that reason it is not an exaggeration to say that few are true Christians. This tells everyone how much I suffer in those Christians who are worthy of Me… I do not force the meaning of human words.

I use you to make it known that I continue granting Mercy to those who belong to Me and do not want to; I will make use of the Samaritan’s mercy towards this injured humanity who is there lying down without hope. I have said Mercy and Compassion, because today more than ever they are necessary for Me to continue My work and for it to grow.

Soul of Mine, My Love’s fire from which you receive so many sparks is incomprehensible and, although believed, is not known. But it is well known by he, who extinguishing his own zeal, is prepared to receive My sparks.

I have few hearts who receive everything I want; I almost have to contain My Love because they reject Me.

Do you really want to give Me shelter in you? Do you want Me to make My abode effectively in you? Tell Me "yes" and you will compensate Me for so many "nos"; tell Me that you want to and you will compensate Me for so many refusals. My loved one, tell Me you are going to accept, because it is sweet to know that you love Me.

My benevolence is enclosed in the petition I make to you.

I have told you of My Love. Now tell Me, what is your love for Me?

 

With Jesus… You All Are My Beloved

CL-72

15-Jan-96

God the Father

It has been a labor of My Love to have made you move along the dangerous road until reaching a certain level, and it can be assessed as one third of the journey.

You know that on the road I have had to detain you many times because you wanted to return to the whirlwind of sin… You, old sinner, wanted to become My declared enemy and, I tell you, you would have been a strong one and would possibly positioned yourself up front among those who hate Me… I mention this to convince you that each moment is for you an alternative of evil and good. And you do you know why I allow you to oscillate between "no" and "yes"? In order to strengthen your "yes". The game bothers you but it is necessary; the enemy is vain and violent, but you must get used to this. So many souls are waiting for a sign from Me to honor you in Heaven! But this will be done in due course and My work will appear in the light of My Love among the canticle of all My children and the praises of your most beloved Mother. I will honor whoever honors Me, and whoever worships Me, will be loved by all who honor Me.

Oh, My daughter, how beautiful it is to hear My name sanctified with fervent lips and heart! Nothing is worth more than prayer directed at Me with the sole purpose of making the world know Me, so that other lips will invoke Me and praise Me.

Indeed, in this way My name sanctified and, when you, sighing, ask My Kingdom to come, I assure you that you will directly participate in all of the hardships of My chosen ones, wherever they may be. And you are an apostle each time that, struggling, you tell Me with intimate conviction: Your Will be done. I say apostle because you go with the "FIAT" of all the souls who, also struggling, are regulated by My Desire. And as your good is the good of all who loves Me, so is the good of all the proclaimers of My Kingdom your good, exchanging in this way the treasures contained in the FIAT.

You will be astonished and know My goodness even more when I show you the meaning of these prayers that amid suffering you address to Me. It is right: among all My children I love, I have Jesus My beloved, so beloved that He would be enough for Me. But I have also loved others with preference and, I do not conceal from you that you and your brethren are among these.

My daughter, many brethren are in sin’s penalty of death. Implore for them and I bless you, you and them, and I place them on the most pure hands of she, who trembling with love, embraced My beloved Jesus.

 

Progress towards the Justification of Love

CL-73

15-Jan-96

Jesus

As dawn approaches the night grows lighter, yielding its own darkness to the rising rays; therefore, when the sun rises, every nocturnal trace is dispersed giving way to the day. During summer it is easier to see the natural progress between night and day. During winter it is more likely that the sunrise appears behind a layer of clouds. But the power of the rays increases and they penetrate through the same clouds and, where other causes do not impede it, daylight comes slower than in the summer.

Deductions are easy if these natural spectacles are taken as symbols of the supernatural.

The soul who is in the cold winter of love, that is to say the one who loves Me little, has illuminations corresponding to the illuminations of winter such as: long nights, uncertain daybreak (not very luminous), lower temperatures. He sees the sun of the truth with discomfort because of the diverse clouds that obstruct perfect vision; he has perfectly clear days yet cold and, when he sees Me, he does not warm up enough. It is winter in his soul which does not adapt very well to Me and, consequently, receives indirect rays on those perfectly clear days. Apart from this, he goes from one cloudy day to another, from the coldness to the poverty of its flowers and fruit.

It is different for whomever finds himself in the summer of My Love. Dew, light, warmth, flowers, fruit in quantity and only briefly if any, temporary squalls are given to the soul who loves Me much. The sun’s joy is more intense in the summer of the soul, because he receives greater warmth and more intense light than in his winter of coldness and darkness. And that soul does not experience the suffocating sultry weather because I put him in the woods of very pure air, so much so that he approaches Me in an admirable way and, as such, falls in love with Me.

My beloved ones, do your souls approach the summer that I have described? What do you resemble – winter or summer? I would be happy as long as it were spring for everyone, but I must tell you, many do not go forward and they remain firm in their cold season, shivering and rarely warm.

Who will give them warmth, oh My beloved cold ones? Without Me they will have no warmth, yet without you I do not want to give them the warmth they lack. If they make no effort to give Me their wills, they will remain as they are. They will never experience change and if they do not turn backwards, good for you.

I offer you simple and efficient means of entering, at least into spring, but give Me proof of your acceptance, because otherwise My Love without limits would be worth nothing.

Do you really want to warm yourself with My burning rays? Do you want to leave winter? Well then, do everything as you did before, without any additions, but begin to reflect on the motive for which you work, pray, eat, sleep, etc. You will find that you yourselves are the object of your actions. The point is this: verify your state of love and gradually progress towards the purification of love. That means to pray for a better motive, which will be more beautiful as it is identified with the motive I ascribe to each of your actions.

Reflect: What can be the reason for God wanting this of me? This is your part, the rest is Mine, because it is natural for Me to guide each one of you in a different way, be it in consideration to the nature I have given you, the Grace you receives, or the purpose I have proposed in each one of you.

I ask everyone for nothing extraordinary but reflection and for now, you must climb the steps one by one. When the steps are big, you will accelerate the pace…

 

I Offer You My Afflicted Heart

CL-74

15-Jan-96

Jesus

I offer you My aching Heart in exchange for your coldness, doubts, and rejection. I offer it to you heart-stricken so that it can tell you just how much sadness you have given Me with your way of following Me.

I have experienced the bitterness of abandonment that would come to Me from souls called with so much affection and who would answer with so little decisiveness.

Everything is written here in My Heart, everything has been sculpted by coarse hands of cold men, insensitive to My Love. But do not think that I do not forget… On the contrary, I want to offer you My sorrowful Heart; I am mournful for you.

Know how to understand Me; wish to understand Me and accept My gift and painful lament.

My souls, I call you to love. To love…

 

Yesterday I Was Betrayed… Today You Forget Me

CL-75

15-Jan-96

Jesus

Tired from the journey, I sat near the well where Jacob used to draw water for himself and for his flocks and, while waiting for the return of My disciples, a Samaritan woman came to draw water.

"Give Me a drink," I told her for I was really thirsty. You know the rest… I wanted so much to lower Myself, even to show signs of My needs, because through the same human need, I would conquer that soul and many more. My act was also for the future.

Now think, who comes to meet My desires, he who changes his attitude with human reasoning (like the Samaritan at the beginning), or he who barely hears My demands and leaves? How many times do I ask, directly or through other creatures, and you will not believe Me! You cannot listen because your hearts are hardened. I wish you would continuously ask Me: what do you want, Jesus?

But My Love will make you sweet, will make you supple and attentive to Me and to your brethren so that you will know what you should do for Me. Take notice of these expressions of politeness because for Me they are most cherished sweetness. Love refines and knows how to govern one’s instincts.

For that reason I repeat: give Me to drink, for I am thirsty after such a long journey. If you do not understand what it means to be thirsty for the person loved, at least you will understand that many, very many, deny Me their souls and, therefore, My thirst is unsatisfied because of so many rejections.

I am alone, without reluctance I tell you that those who profess faith, also love Me very little. They too…! With exceptions, I meet lack of love and infidelity everywhere.

They wonder so much at why things are not going the way they want them to go. What should I say after having suffered so much in seeing the accumulation of human incomprehension? What should I say in seeing that, in spite of all My generosity, there reigns amongst My people so much personal interest? What must I say, I who is waiting for you to have time to work on My matters that ultimately will serve to save so many of your brothers?

Once an apostle betrayed Me; today in the best of the hypotheses, I am the great forgotten One! The neglected One!

My souls, love is what moves Me to seek you. My Love wants to give you happiness and wants to give it to you because this is My thirst; you should know it. You are My chosen ones, you can quench My thirst; do not resist, do not be like the Samaritan, do not see Me as a foreigner like she did.

I am your life, your salvation, your joy, your happiness, your light, your way, your good-fortune, your dignity, your well being, your everything. My souls, so loved: I am the water that takes away your thirst, the water that washes you, the water that purifies you, the water that cools the burning of your wounds (oh, you have so many!), the water that makes you well, the water that takes you to the infinite ocean of My own Love.

Do not be Samaritans too. Never be satiated with Me, you must become as many more Marys.

May My particular emphasis of today make you think. I desire that you be examined, each one on your own account and that you remove, with My painstaking help, all the causes that prevent you from being united to Me. I call you to practice, that is, to address contradiction. Always love Me and do not allow this word "contradiction" to remain locked in the vocabulary, because then you could run the risk of finding My Heart closed to you. Closed, understanding with regard to the beneficial effects in you, because even if you were to refuse to contradict yourselves because of Me, I would never stop loving you infinitely.

Therefore, give Me your souls and I will aide you immensely, calming the thirst of My Love.

Give Me your will and, above all, your judgment; I mean, make the sacrifice of one and of the other because, in short, giving Me your soul means exactly this. And while you sacrifice each other to Me, I will share My Divinity in you.

You all give Me a miserable creature. I give you Myself. Is this not an acceptable exchange? Do you not feel attracted to the One who knows to give you the infinite for little more than nothing?

Oh, if you only knew how much the souls in Purgatory want to be consumed, in order to receive Me in the happiness of Paradise! They see the value of the contradiction very well, and if I were to permit it, they would return to you, to dedicate themselves to this one exercise: to surrender to Me through the annoyances. And so they remain in that purifying fire that cancels all particles of their will and destroys all bonds that prevents them from flying to Me. Learn from them, learn; experience great calmness, great peace, and relief… Remember I am thirsty!

 

You Appreciate Man’s Help More Than Mine

CL-76

15-Jan-96

Jesus

Trust, in order to be complete, should not depend on any human element either today or tomorrow. For the lukewarm it is necessary to find human support because they do not find stability in Me; but My chosen ones should expect it all. I have directed many through the road of perfect trust, but few have arrived where I had called them because, in the blindness of their intelligence, they appreciate man’s help rather then mine. They have believed more in the word of a creature than in that of the Creator. For that reason, there is a crowd of discontented people who are at a standstill at My Father’s house. They are determined and indecisive, dissatisfied and opposed, and they implore Me with desires and words to give them what they long for. Perhaps I do not hear their sighs, do not understand what they long for?

Well I hear them but I pretend not to hear. To these determined and indecisive ones, I have prepared to give them much, much more and My Love forbids Me to listen to them. Many go back because they do not want to understand Me! Many discontented ones ask for a crumb of bread, while I want to give them a magnificent banquet! Courage, My creatures! I want to tell you, My love, the most sublime saints lived similar games and now they rejoice for having left that mouthful with which they would have momentarily satisfied their hunger, because even before calling them to Glory, I made them sit at a table in which they ate, not human crumbs, but the substance and life of My Divinity.

My creatures, satisfy yourselves in Me, because I am eternal and substantial nourishment; consume the chalices I present to you, because in them you will find everlasting sweetness.

What does it matter to the hunter to hurl himself between thicket and thorns, as long as he can reach his prey? I am your prey and I will allow Myself to be completely seized by you when you will have fallen completely into My Love. No mouthfuls for you, I do not wish to give you pieces of bread because I love you with predilection. I want to give you victory over yourselves, not a passing conquest, but an eternal one of such Goodness that encloses all good…

 

These Notebooks, Close to My Love, Should Be Your Daily Bread

CL-77

15-Jan-96

Jesus

My daughter, so beloved. You all ask Me, why this avalanche of messages? I do not want to sadden you, although I said that My messages had ended for the group, I had My reasons for it.

The messages for the second book ended in September, three months have passed and you are still thinking about printing it. How do you think I will settle your problems if you all do not devote yourselves to Mine? I am not angry; I love you too much. Do not think like that; it is only that I feel defrauded. It was not impossible to work on it; simply you have not thought about the fact that the origin of things is always tightly united to the vital beginning that proceeds from Me and without this beginning, nothing exists. If you all had placed first things first, many things would be resolved.

Do not attempt to read this – what we have been working on – to anyone, until the last book is edited. What are you waiting for? There is paper and the necessary machines. When your matters are urgent, you rush to solve them. And Mine? Can they wait? Can they be postponed?

Do not be sad, I assure you that it is not your fault but, upon concluding these messages, I will cease this type of communication with you… It is a necessary part of your growth. Believe in Me; I want to educate you and with you whoever wants to be educated. My intentions, My Will is for you to learn to find Me and converse with Me in another way…

Trust Me, give Me your hand, just like up to now, blindly of your Savior’s hand… And you, do you love Me?

These notebooks, beside My Love, should be your daily bread and nourishment of those to whom your reading matter is destined. I will guide you, do not be afraid, My little one.

 

I Do Things That Please the Father and Many Times They Are Not Pleasing to Men

CL-78

15-Jan-96

Jesus

Life in union with Me is a continuous giving of oneself and the only way to not cease the giving is to receive from My hands everything that relates to the soul and body.

It would be good for each one of you to do everything without waiting for Me to give you the results of the actions; from the disappointments you suffer, you actually think you can extract the consequences of having erred. This is not always true. Many times the college student’s homework is also deprived of evaluation because the teacher gives it from time to time and not for each assignment. Therefore, it is evident that I do not treat everyone the same way and I manifest only what helps My beloved ones.

Let Me do My thing, each one of you is assisted by Me in a special way and to each one I offer the nourishment needed. Do you know what happens? That by force of searching, the creature discovers that this or that does not work and that such a thing is uncertain and something else is suspicious. So, between suspicions, they waste very precious time.

He who directs his soul towards Me, does not stumble on these things, because for him it is enough to have known from the point of departure that what he had to do was of My liking. Then if he has erred or not, it is My business to make him know it and it is evident that he will know it only if I want.

My students, learn from your Teacher because only He has words and eternal life. Learn from Me who said: I always do the things that please My Father and that many times do not please men.

He who imitates Me wants this, and this he always seeks: the Desire of the Father in the satisfaction of the Son and for the love of the Holy Spirit.

 

How a Mother Loves Her Child!

CL-79

15-Jan-96

Jesus

How much a mother loves her child can be seen from her maternal kisses and caresses. This is yet more evident if the sacrifices that she secretly makes for her child are known. Multiply this affection by five, ten children and you will see how much a mother can sacrifice herself and how much she can love her children.

Our Mother, the one "without stain" who gave Me human life, has loved this loveless generation of children, has embraced them tightly, has known all their faults, and has forgiven them the great pain they have caused her.

All mothers must procreate their children, more so with the spirit than with the body. She must transfuse in them treasures greater than the human life, and must give her children all that is beautiful and great in her soul. It is said: "blood can bind so much." How much more can a mother’s love for her children bind? Ah! It is not blood that binds, but love, because love comes before blood, because love lasts long after death.

What happened to My Mother when I poured into her the maternal affection for you too? She became the small, great woman who accepted a countless offspring for My Love, her most Beloved Son. And while she received from Me so much goodness, that it can be said she came to be the fountain of love, from you, the present day generation, she received countless thorns and sorrows.

Thus she loves you above all because of My Love and because you have made her suffer so much. For that reason I grant her the right to make of you a shrine of mercy, over which she will be celebrated in a grand style. She must save you, I want it; she must look after her family and guide them to Me.

So many blaspheme against her! So many have forgotten her! So many cover their ears and have fled from her! But I love her; I have made her extremely powerful. I will not permit you all to insult her anymore; she is extremely dear to Me!

For that reason she will soon clean house. Nevertheless, she is amongst you and is pointing out her good children. Listen to her! She is so good, she knows how to understand everyone, how to forget all offenses. Pay attention to her!

 

I Inspire Perfect Work, You Are Free to Fulfill It or Not

CL-80

15-Jan-96

God the Father

The beginning and lifetime of human actions is the motion that I imprint on all creatures. The man whom I have made free and autonomous does not think that his working, seeing, thinking, and even his suffering are actions dependent of a first cause that has control over all those things. But it is a most gentle control that produces unimpaired, the great gift I have given them: freedom. Because of that man moves freely, in spirit and in body. But while he makes full use of his freedom, he is moved by Me, he has the inclination but is not obligated because he acts freely.

There are involuntary movements before which the creature is not able to react, but they are either all Mine or all human. I will explain. In My infinite Love for the creature, I desire that sometimes actions be fulfilled without the usual defects, the customary renouncements, so that the creature may have in his assets, actions and thoughts that are perfectly similar to My Desire. Then I diffuse Myself in such a way that his work and desire is truly My work and My desire.

Certain manifestations that I bring about in My saints are an example of these things. But one should not object that their will is lacking in this, on the contrary. The will in these cases is fully adhered to Me and if it acts with obligation, for this reason it does not stop acting freely. This is the way it is in Heaven; when it is also done on earth, it is Heaven anticipated… These are what I have called involuntary things of Mine; therefore, that is the way they are.

But there are other things and they are the human things: the discourse that changes. If in the involuntary good things, the greatest part of the work is Mine; in the evil or human things, the greatest part is yours. And so the soul, having become totally inclined towards evil, can only act according to the bad habits that it has voluntarily and gradually acquired.

This is how the soul finds itself when it is completely with Me and when it is by itself.

But you know that upon creating, moving, and providing for My beloved ones, I have as an aim, mainly the Glory of My beloved Son. Furthermore, foreseeing that each one of you would not do much to fulfill My Desire, I created a creature so beautiful and holy that by herself she surpasses all creatures and alone gives more glory to My Son than all the others together. This creature is the shining mirror on which the Word reflects and, like all mirrors, reflects such rays of light and fire that it does not really seem to be a mirror but light and fire. He, My Son, could have many images of Himself, but one would be such that it would be confused with the original. Oh, how it pleases Me to reproduce the Word!

Do you see then what My Will points to and how petty is man’s reasoning? But, what is human reasoning in comparison to Divine Desire? Is love for oneself and one's reasoning not like the night in comparison to the radiant day that is My reasoning and My Desire...? How man argues over this point! But as long as he does not leave himself, he will have no peace. Renounce himself, lose himself in Me, dissolve himself in Me and the creature will live off Me…

My Kingdom Is Near

CL-81

15-Jan-96

Jesus

The kingdom of My Heart is written in the great book of all time. Mine is a Heart of Love, resurrected and eternal. Its time has come.

It is necessary to offer that the souls, besides loving Me, make My Word be the seed that bears fruit in the prepared land. The sinners who return repentant will not find My face angered, nor reproaches on My lips.

My kingdom is near. Beforehand, however, great things will happen; the world will marvel, for all the people will humble themselves before My sovereignty, praising My Heart.

This Heart of Mine suffers because each day the number of sins that are committed is greater; greater each time are the sufferings that afflict it filling it with bitterness. You do not know, nor could you imagine the number of sins, blasphemes, and sacrileges; the lukewarmness and indifference of so many souls that call themselves kind and their compassion is only a cover for hypocrisy…

My Heart is a burning furnace, passionate of love for the salvation of souls; it bleeds and suffers. Day after day men go on accumulating iniquities for their own damnation. This is My torment!

My mission of exterior pain ended on earth, but I will continue suffering and giving courage with My infinite merits to the suffering of My chosen and victim souls. They are My crown!

My Heart is the center of all love. My Kingdom is of the saving Love. Love is the pulse of the sacrifice, and the sacrifice is the pulse of love… My pierced Heart on the Cross is the sanctuary of real love. The Cross is the throne of My Kingdom of love.

This Kingdom of love will be implanted in those who, maintaining their heart and spirit clean, would know how to make of all that surrounds them an altar where My image reigns.

 

I Gave You Redemption and Nobleness

CL-82

15-Jan-96

Jesus

The first time I cried from pain, was caused by a drop of Blood that would assign to Me ownership of the Jewish world, in which the ceremonies had arisen for the justification of the spirit. I cried because I was washing with those tears all the past generation run aground on the riverbanks external from the spirit. And with those tears, later were justified all the Jews who would perform the same ceremony.

Who would think that in the life I led, besides an excellent symbolism, I put in each action the redemption of man's so many faults. On the whole I freed everyone, but in particular, I have given to each one the possibility to possess that equivalent contrast between materiality and the spirit. Anything done without My Wisdom does not take the opportunity to become transformed by My Divine actions. I have offered everything to the creature, all the collection of riches still unexplored, and without Me having offered a perfect exchange of perfection and Redemption, there is no action, thinking, desire, nothing which concerns him.

The circumcision was the beginning of My acts understood in that sense, and desired in order to give men the possibility of protecting themselves with My actions.

But My people wish to go farther when considering Redemption under the profile of the liberation from the slavery of sin and rather it is I who inclines them towards these considerations. But it also pleases Me to tell you this: I want you to know that I have seen to it that you have Redemption from everything and absolute nobleness even in your daily chores, because by superimposing Myself on you, like I have done, you will still be worthy of the transitory things and of the nature that I have taken for you.

My daughter, so beloved! My small hidden flower! I am near you… Offer Me your sufferings to help Me in the beautiful work of salvation. Come into My Heart and rest there… Suffer everything for love and during the necessary time, for the salvation of other souls. Atonement for love is a great deal more meritorious. I took upon Me the faults of all men in order to redeem them. I suffered all kinds of pain. But it was the love for My Father, the One who moved Me to die for the Love I have for My brethren.

Be an instrument of more redemption. I want you to be ignored by everyone and ignored by yourself, for the time being. You must be like a candelabrum always burning in the presence of your God. You are My Heart’s rest; in My Heart, accepting your sufferings, you will find the love you give Me increased a hundredfold. Count the many lin
