OUR GRANDEUR

My son, I know that you desire a message from “X;” she loved Me greatly and for this reason suffered greatly; her great suffering has been the measure of her love; in the kingdom of light and of love where she already finds herself, so blessed, she follows you like a loving mother and intercedes for all of you.

My sons, death has not cut off our spiritual relations and our reciprocal and holy love. Even more, death has served to make them closer and to make our love more intense and operative.

Octavio, you speak the truth when you affirm that I have not been a stranger in the events of your life in these last years. As I am not a stranger in them now, neither am I an stranger in the life and in the affairs of “R” and of sister “M.” I have done much for all of you, and much remains to be done.

But, my children, you who are priests, never lose from your view your grandeur and priestly dignity; do not forget even for an instant the finality of your vocation: to snatch souls from Satan with all the means that divine Mercy has placed at your disposition.

Do not forget that the entire universe is not worth what one soul is worth.

My sons, to snatch souls from hell it is necessary to pray much, to suffer much, to fight against the darksome powers of evil with a persevering tenacity, until the end.

To snatch souls from evil and to take them to the Hearts of Jesus and of most holy Mary: this is your mission without equal!

Material things are nothing

Material things are nothing; earthly goods are nothing; make use of them only for what is indispensable; let not your hearts become attached to the goods that sooner or later, will dissolve into nothingness. Cleave only to the supreme Good. Your love toward God and toward your brethren (giving testimony of this, preaching) this is the true purpose of your lives.

Confirm this love with the seal of the full, absolute, total and persevering adhesion to the divine Will, which will make you holy and will open for you the treasures of grace and of graces, that Jesus keeps in his Merciful Heart.

I am submerged in the light and the love of God; it would be impossible to try to tell you of my happiness!

80 years of life would not be necessary, but rather all the time from the creation until the end, to earn such happiness!

Let no fatigue, no suffering, no pain, that might be asked of you, seem useless; they are precious things for souls.

Nothing in the world can separate you from the Love of Christ, if you always wish to be united to him, by faith. Hope will make your spirit radiant, in the obscurity that is now occurring in the world and in the Church.

Courage, my sons!

Courage, my sons! Earthly life, when seen from above, is a flash of lightning that winds about in space and is extinguished. I assure you of my efficacious intercession before Him and before Her, who can accomplish everything; do not allow yourselves to be misled and much less intimidated by the evil one. Combat him in every manner and in every way possible. Trust, be a leaven; be a ferment of life. The blindness of men, of Christians, is formidable; horrible is the perversion of many priests and horrible also is the number of souls who go to hell with the indelible sign of their consecration to God.

Pray and have others pray; invite them to penalice; do not worry about what human foolishness might raise up against you.

Don “X;” my son: our pact continues; begun in time, it continues in eternity.
