LOVE IN ACTION

Fr. Octavio, I am Father Benedetto.

I am in haste to tell you my unlimited and inexplicable happiness: I am in Paradise! I will not attempt to tell you what Paradise is; it would be useless and vain, for it is something that transcends our human nature, more than Heaven transcends earth.

Life upon earth, even when illumined by faith, is always wrapped in darkness; I do not speak of the obscurity of hell, a horrible darkness, but rather of that darkness that envelops faith itself. Upon earth we see, as St. Paul says, in a dark manner. (1 Cor 13, 12).

From what those who preceded Me, told you about the Communion of saints, I, have nothing to add, to the concept that the Communion of saints is love in action.

This moving cause of love, this mysterious power of love, that conquers all things, is a reality that we can live, in a more or less intense manner, or we can neglect to live it. It depends almost completely upon our free will, more or less illumined, more or less penetrated by faith.

Call us, and we will come! Have confidence in us, and we will not fail you; ask us, and we will help you to obtain favors; importune us, and we will make you joyful! Fr. Octavio, in harmony with what they told you, I assure you that our pact will conserve all its freshness. It is necessary to insist that this marvelous dogma, one of so many splendid masterworks of divine wisdom and power, should truly come alive in all its marvelous beauty and efficacy.

Poor souls, poor souls! What sources of immense riches you ignore!

It is a great thing for the regenerated Church

Fr. Octavio, I add my voice to that of the Archangel Gabriel, to that of Padre Pio, and to that of the other souls who spoke to you, in relation to your resolution of detaching holy Mass from every material tie; it is a great thing for the Church, for the regenerated Church; do not permit yourself to be seduced by the insidious artifices of the evil one, who will do everything to obstruct your resolution.

I, Fr. Benedetto, assure you that I will be at your side in this battle, that is not comprehended, at least not now.

Fr. Octavio, Lina, Padre Pio, and a cortege of elect souls came to meet me, and accompanied me and presented me to the Eternal Judge, who is infinitely good.

Your pact with Luisa and with me is always valid and binding,

Fr. B.
