MY CHURCH

One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman prerogatives that will never change

Write son; let us continue with the theme about my Church. It is, and will be one, holy, catholic, apostolic and Roman; in nothing of this it changes no will ever change, with the change of human events; no one can ever deprive it of its prerogatives. My Church is in the world, and it is for the world; it is not static but rather is perennially on pilgrimage; it moves along with the world, as the shepherd moves along with his flock, its mission is purely missionary; its task is to bring the gospel message to all the nations. It is not absolutist; neither is it totally democratic, like a pure democracy. It is hierarchical, for thus I, its founder, wanted it to be; the hierarchy forms its spinal column; its government will be an intermediate form between absolutism and pure democracy. Its members will be all the baptized; at the top is the Pope, who in emergencies can govern it alone, possessing within himself all deliberate and executive power.

The Pope, the genuine and direct successor of St. Peter, will be at the top of my Church, which is a perfect society, and as such has and possesses all the means to attain its purposes, independently of any other human structure, many of which will collapse or will be simplified.

One is he who brings the message and another is he who receives it

I, Jesus, am the invisible Head of my Church; the visible head is the Roman Pontiff, the successor of St. Peter, to whom is always due love, respect and humble obedience on behalf of everyone: bishops, priests and the faithful, without any distinction.

The Church is in the world, but it is different from the world, and it cannot ever be identified with the world, but it is not impeded, in its nature as Mother and teacher of the world, in its mission. One is he who brings the message, and another is he who receives it. The degeneration of the present hour finds many dissident priests, pastors and faithful, but when truth and equilibrium are re-established, (now so shaken by such great evils), the regenerated Church will not have dissidents in regard to its nature. The Church will always have opposition - the body follows the lot of its Head - but the forces and dark powers of evil will never prevail over it. It enjoys the special presence of the Holy Ghost, who penetrates it with his charisms. Today charismatic souls are multiplied everywhere. Charisms have always existed in the Church; the saints were all charismatic. When I speak of charisms, I always refer to the particular and extraordinary gift given to determined persons, for the ecclesial community; I do not speak of the ordinary charisms granted to all Christians in their sacramental life.

Thus the lord scatters the proud...

The dark powers of hell use all their resources to sow discord, envy and jealousy among the charismatics, in this way diminishing, and even annulling, their effects. The charismatics should be aware of this, so as not to permit the enemy to work against the plan of divine Providence. The charismatic souls will be vigilant, and will watch, in order not to fall into the snares of the enemy, cultivating in themselves all the virtues, and in a particular way humility, the fundamental and central pillar of sanctity. The regenerated Church will be nearly totally charismatic; it will be truly holy, and it will be the Holy Ghost who will vivify it and sanctify it, to make of it a beacon of light, that will be projected upon all of humanity.

Who are men, to place themselves against God with their insane intentions of obstructing the way? Less than a handful of dust that is scattered by the wind. The rulers of peoples immersed in the thick darkness of their pride, are truly dust. What is needed to confound them? They have closed off their hearts, their mouths speak with arrogance, they advance and surround Me to cast Me down, but I will scatter them like dust, just as if they were dust. In my presence they have dug a pit, and into it they will fall; they will be swallowed up by it. Thus the Lord scatters the proud, who have conspired against him thus he will cast down his enemies, and his Church will carry salvation even to the most remote confines of the earth.

Son, it is enough for now: love Me greatly. I bless you, and with you I bless those who are dear to you.
