CHARISM, EXTRAORDINARY GIFT FREELY GIVEN
It is time to start again my son, write, I am Jesus.
We have spoken about the many evils by which my Mystical Body is affected, now it is time of speaking about the goods of which my Church is rich, an immense wealth.
It is part of this spiritual richness the “charisma” an extraordinary gift freely given and that also freely must be used for the community. He who fortunately by means of a divine grace benefits of it can never be in contrast with the Hierarchy since the sacred Order is also a charisma, an ordinary charisma but that has the same origin, nature and the same finalities of the extraordinary one.
Judge of the legitimacy of the charisma that is given with the Order to a Bishop or to a Priest, is the Church; judge of the extraordinary charisma of a soul is the Bishop.
Before formulating a judgement over a charismatic the Bishops must use prudence, pray and make others pray because from the result of their judgement it can depend the good or the evil for so very many souls; then the judgement that the Bishop must give mustn’t be put off till doomsday for fear or other less noble motives. In this way they can stop and obstacle or even deviate God’s plan.
How much good gone lost because prevented by the human pride
My son, you will like to know the why of a similar behaviour… well, lots of times it is for jealousy as where there is presumption there is always envy and jealousy and since the authentic charism that’s to say the one which proceeds by the Holy Spirit always rises him who is invested to the eyes of people, so they fear that it may lower or overshade the one of the Bishop;
it has been this way so many times but if at the basis of this way of seeing and judging there was humility evils of so much gravity would be avoided.
The extraordinary charisma given by the Holy Spirit has as a purpose the integration of the ordinary charisms, so you mustn’t have any fear but always and only joy and thankfulness to God that gives them for the common good of souls, but unfortunately those who have their souls darkened from obscurity cannot understand or see.
There should never be a contrast between the Hierarchy and the genuine and authentic charismatics because as if on a wire on which there is already a determined electric power you introduce a further one it doesn’t come any harm to the former, or, as if in a glass of water you add a little more it doesn’t come out any inconvenient, so it should be in the Church, too, while instead how much good gone lost because prevented from the human pride which produces all evils, prevented from envy and jealousy that divide and blind so many people in my Church that they would destroy it if they had the possibility of doing it.
Fire and water will be like steamrollers
Be it said once again that “the hour of purification” has already begun its action of erosion and there will be the top when the landslide entirely detached will give the start to its unrestrainable descent in which it will sweep away everything and everybody, destroying and annihilating the whole product of the human pride.
All this will be realised with a never seen violence on the earth; fire and water will be as steamrollers, then winds, earthquakes, floods, hunger, thirst will accomplish their purifying work on a humanity which has prostituted itself as a woman addicted to sin.
Men have said “no” to my numerous invitations to penance and conversion;
they have said “no” to the numerous intercessions of our common heavenly Mother precluding to them every way of salvation;
in this way they will experiment the “divine justice”.
For this in my new Church I want humble and holy Bishops who with their humility will have to start again the way from the point from which I, Eternal Word of God, have started with the Mystery of the Incarnation my way of true and not fictitious humility, of poverty and obedience because only in this way it will be possible to reconstruct the broken balance and the destroyed order.
I have talked to you of anarchy in the Church and in the peoples and you know that «anarchy» means moral and spiritual disorder, refuse of the order and exaltation of the disorder, while on the contrary with holy Bishops I’ll have holy Priests and with holy Priests the whole Church of Mine will be “holy”.
Now, son, that’s enough, we will start again as soon as possible; I bless you and with you I bless the soul that you know and that is so dear to my Heart and to the heart of our common heavenly Mother.
