I AM PRESENT AS REDEEMER, SAVIOR, AND HEAD OF MY CHURCH

My son, I am Jesus; write.

Once again I, the eternal Word of God, begotten ab aeterno of the Father, made flesh in the most pure womb of my Mother and yours, direct Myself to you, whom I chose from eternity as my instrument, for a great design of love and of salvation.

I, true God and true man, am present in the midst of you in the mystery of faith, living, real, with my presence that contains within itself two natures, the divine and the human, and therefore, I am present physically as Redeemer, Savior, and Head of my Church, I repeat, of my Church, the object of great hatred on behalf of him who never accepted it and who has always hated it. I am present, therefore, as the Head of my Church, for it has sprung from my Blood, from my wounded and pierced Heart; I am present in my Church, the center of so many ambitions and of so many darksome maneuvers, willed and fomented in order to satisfy the concupiscences of the spirit and of the flesh, the cause of so many sins, of so many profanations and sacrileges, that they want to cover with the luxurious and velvety mantle of hypocrisy, and with the most abject egotism.

Many times I and my Mother have intervened with powerful calls, for those who seem to have forgotten and lost the great realities of the Creation and the Redemption. In one message I told you, my son, that many of my consecrated souls, swept away by the heresy of action, are as if suffocated by this corrosive dynamism, in this manner allowing themselves, without realizing it, to be moved and carried away farther and farther from the regenerating forces of the Divine Life.

They cannot accept the fact of my speaking to whomever I want, without their permission!

I have invited these souls, who have become blind, through their own responsibility and fault, to place themselves before Me, who am crucified; I have invited them to ascend Calvary with Me, the master traced out by Me, in order to teach souls with the way, the great way examples of my Passion, death and resurrection. I have invited all the consecrated souls to follow Me on the way of renunciation, of humility, of obedience, and of poverty. I have invited them to cast a glance at Me, who am suspended upon the Cross, to meditate, to reflect. This would have been sufficient to arouse in them a purifying repentance, so that they could once again find their faith, which is nearly extinguished, to revive the fire of charity, which is nearly extinguished. And they have not done it!

Some of them have not even deigned to pay the least attention to my messages, because in their presumptuous incredulity, they cannot accept the fact that I, true God and true man, who am in my Church, can direct Myself and speak to whomever I want, where I want, how I want, and when I want. According to their presumptuous way of thinking, I should ask their permission, to speak to the souls who are dear to Me!

It is true that I have given them dignity and powers, not due to men, but this dignity and these powers I have communicated to them for the benefit of the entire ecclesial community, and not to satisfy their personal thirst of riches nor of personal ambition. If I gave them powers and dignity, I have given it to them so they could place it at the service of my entire Church, I repeat, for all the members of my Church. Behold the arrogance with which they treat their subjects, my son. You know very well, and even now by your personal experience, that everything I am telling you is not the result of your fantasy or of your “insanity;” and if they had humility, they would not have such violent reactions, such as they now have, and that are continually increasing. And this fact verifies for you, in case you still need it, the sad reality that the Church is living.

By causing you suffering, they confirm the truth of what I have manifested to you

Son, I previously advised you that you would be considered crazy, like one demented; and my prediction could not be wrong, but what is it that is preventing them from verifying this sad reality in my Church? It is pride!

My son, I did not promise you any other thing upon earth except suffering, and they do not know that, by causing you suffering, they are the evident confirmation of the truths that I have manifested to you. But do not allow yourselves to be impressed. Being united to Me, you should be afraid of nothing.

Son, during all my earthly life, I never used my power to humiliate, to mortify or wound my enemies, and if I manifested some signs of my power, I did so only to confirm the truths that I preached and taught; I never sought glory or prestige upon earth, but rather humiliations, not positions of privilege or well-being, but rather poverty, not authority, but rather obedience unto death.

Son, I requested an intensification of interior life; I asked for humility, poverty, paternity, firmness and what have I obtained?

Pray, and have others pray; offer reparation. Offer all your pains, so that the balance does not move too much toward the evil side.

I bless you, son, and with Me, my most holy Mother and St. Joseph bless you.
