THEY LIVE SUPERFICIALLY

Write, my son:

"In him we are, in him we live, in him we move." How many prejudices in your souls, in relation to my true presence in all things; I have said: in all things! I am infinite. Wherever you go, I do not say with your body but with your soul, there I am present.

For this reason I said: "Walk in my presence, and you will be perfect."

Can anyone withdraw from the presence of God? Adam and Eve foolishly believed so, and they hid themselves after having consummated their sin. Many men, many Christians think so, in the act of consummating their sin; even many priests think so.

How much blindness and foolishness! No one can escape the penetrating gaze of God. “In him we are, in him we live, in him we move.” My son, do you not feel my presence, that of the Word of God, one and three, in your soul?

Everything is of God

If men would make better use of the faculties of their soul, penetrating with reflection about this stupendous divine reality, how profitable it would be for them. But today men do not think; few are those who meditate; they live superficially.

Remember: not only “in him we are, in him we move, in him we live,” but that everything we have, we have from him.

It is not from ourselves that we have given ourselves life; we have not given ourselves faith; we have not given ourselves the supernatural life of grace; we have not given ourselves the Church: everything is of God; everything is of God. Many Christians and priests use and abuse the Gifts of God, as if they were handling their own things, their own property, and in this way they subvert the natural, moral and spiritual order, established by God.

Only man, an intelligent creature, created with an act of infinite love, to be the faithful interpreter of the universe and to render praise and gratitude to God, is transformed into an element of disorder, escaping from the order, from his own place, and from the purpose for which he was created by God.

Son, think what would happen if one day the stars and planets went outside of their orbits and they began to travel each one in a different way. What a cataclysm there would be in space!

Intelligence and free will were given to men, not in order to create chaos, (as they have indeed created, and worse than the tower of Babel), disorder in their physical life, moral and spiritual disorder, personal and family disorder, social disorder, world disorder.

Son, even blind men can establish this reality, produced with diabolic tenacity by the men of this perverse generation: disorder even in my Church, disorder in the lives of many of my priests.

The men of this century, instead of following the logical course of nature, of reason and of faith, instead of looking toward the luminous star placed by God to dissipate the darkness of this world and to make the path toward their eternal goal easier and more secure, have inverted the order and the harmony established by God.

My son, what will be the consequence of this disorder, of unheard-of proportions and that does not have an antecedent nor comparison with all the evils of past centuries? The cataclysm will be in proportion to the causes that have provoked it.

Let them not have illusions

Let men not have illusions. Abandoning God, they have allowed themselves to be misled by the powers of hell, by the perverted spirits running toward their ruin, creating disorder and chaos as never before, destroying the order established by God.

God is order, in this order man finds peace upon earth, the prelude and germ of his eternal happiness. Men of good will should collaborate. Bishops, priests and good Christians should collaborate with Me to re-establish the moral order, half-destroyed by sin, and, united in love and in penitence, they should bring to God 'the souls that were taken away from him.

The means for. this collaboration that I ask of all my children, are as always: Faith, Hope and Charity, prudence and justice, fortitude and temperance. They are prayer, frequent reception of the sacraments, interior and exterior penance.

Use the secure means, that all the saints have used!

Believe, love hope without measure, and you will be prodigiously fruitful.

My son, I bless you; love Me and never doubt. I am faithful to my promises.
