MEMENTO, HOMO

My son, write:

I, Jesus, the Son of the living God, should intervene once more to remind Christians, my priests, and the successors of my Apostles, that they are no other thing, except a handful of ashes, a mixture of putrefaction.

It now seems that this salutary truth, is no longer a motive of meditation nor of preaching; nevertheless, the Holy Ghost has recommended it, since it has such great power of conviction and persuasion, for it is not an abstract truth, but a very concrete one; and man, if he so desires, can draw from it valuable experience.

Son, the deceitful and cunning workings of the evil one seem to have atrophied souls, making them incapable of drinking from the crystalline and pure fountains of revelation. Do not Christians, and so many of my priests and pastors, know what in reality they are?

Are they blinded, even to the point of not understanding the tremendous reality that, without God, they are pure nothingness, that they are worth nothing and can do nothing?

Do they not know that they cannot even prolong their life one minute more, than what was eternally decreed? Do they not know that death might arrive at any instant?

Vanity of vanities

Son, wisdom is a great and marvelous gift, that never grows old, and he who possesses it remains eternally youthful in his soul. Pastors, ministers, and the faithful, should ask it from him who can grant it, the Holy Ghost.

Wisdom is a light, capable of putting to light the darkness that springs from pride and from the vanity of man, who is not even aware of it. The contagious fever that animates this wayward and evil generation by its incredulity, has made it forget the demands of supernatural life, of the life of grace, the demands of the Spirit, and also those of wisdom.

Poor Christians, poor priests, poor bishops!

Listen, my son, if I could make you see the rooms where so many of my ministers work and rest, you would find piles of books, newspapers and magazines of all kinds and types; in this case one should remember what was said of the Hebrew priests: do what they say, but not what they do; however, you would find very few books of solid piety. Wisdom, a marvelous gift of the Holy Ghost, has vanished, for it cannot exist nor dwell in souls that are in a crisis of faith.

Son, it is necessary to remake everything from the foundations; this is what a great Pope, Pius XII, said: if a great Pope, a holy Pontiff, has said one must remake everything, this means that what is harmful and corrupt has become generalized, both at the top and at the bottom.

Many do not want to admit this, for to admit it would mean accepting in part the fact of being responsible for this disastrous situation, and also to admit it, one needs a degree of humility that they do not have, for if they had this virtue, with which I conquered Satan and his legions, they also would have conquered the forces of evil.

They do not want to believe

No, son. God is longanimous; he is good, patient and merciful, while ungrateful men do nothing else except abuse this infinite goodness, but men, under the dominion of Satan, are walking toward the abyss that will devour them.

They have rejected, and are rejecting, the truth and light, and he who walks in darkness is not aware of the precipice that will swallow him.

There is a frightfully tragic aspect in all this perversion, an aspect whose iniquity is without limits, whose perfidy is kept diabolically hidden from the majority, from the victims of the demon, of his unlimited hatred, by which the forces of hell rule tyrannically over this poor humanity, my Church not excluded; they do not want to see this tragic side; they do not want to believe, although they are suffering the evil consequences of it.

I ask: Then, my Jesus, does hatred have the supremacy over love? Then light will not have supremacy over darkness? Will error have supremacy over truth?

Answer: No, my son; it will be men themselves who will provoke the imminent conflict, and it will be I Myself who will destroy the forces of evil to draw good from all this, and it will be the Mother, most holy Mary, who will crush the head of the serpent, thus beginning a new era of peace; IT WILL BE THE ADVENT OF MY KINGDOM UPON EARTH. It will be the return of the Holy Ghost for a new Pentecost. It will be my merciful love that will defeat Satan's hatred. It will be truth and justice that will prevail over heresy and over injustice; it will be the light that will put to flight the darkness of hell.

I bless you, my son; love Me intensely.
