THE HOLY BIBLE IS DIRECTED TO THE PEOPLE

TO ENLIGHTEN THEM AND TO DRAW THEM OUT OF THE DARKNESS OF ORIGINAL SIN

Write, my son; it is I, Jesus, and I want to clarify for you what was told you in relation to the Holy Bible.

You know, my son, for I told you several times, that I, God, One and Three, am by nature infinitely simple, and therefore everything I do say reflects this nature of mine, just as every book or every work of art reflects the artistic or literary temperament of the author. In the same manner my Bible, although it may manifest the artistic, poetic and literary temperament of those who, as instruments, were chosen to write it, it allows one to see, with marvelous transparency, the infinite simplicity of its real author: the Holy Ghost.

How is it possible to ignore that among all living creatures, visible and invisible, only man in his pilgrimage upon earth, is capable of change? Son, it is always Satan who impels man to substitute himself for God, in order to withdraw him from God and to push him toward the abyss of his destruction.

The bishop is not only the “president” of an assembly, but also the spiritual father of his church, that he should care for and nourish preserving it from heresy, from error, from immorality. Therefore, great is his task, a task that should be assumed with prudence and with courage, with a great faith and love, laying aside the judgments of men and making account only of the divine will. Therefore, my son, it is my will that bishops be holy, so that they may reflect in themselves my life.

To snatch souls from satan: the central problem of pastoral theology

The materialistic conception that has enveloped my Church in profound darkness, never before seen, this is crisis of faith that has separated not only Christians but even unbelieving nations from God, can be overcome only by returning to the faith. Therefore it is the task of bishops to develop a wise and enlightened pastoral practice, directed to their priests and to all the faithful; to establish centers for the formation of catechism teachers, and a center for the formation of studies of the Holy Scriptures, of the Holy Fathers and Doctors of the Church. I do not need scientific priests; nor presumptuous theologians, but I very much need wise and holy priests, who are fully aware and conscious of their priestly grandeur and of their priestly powers!

Bishops should understand all this, and for this they should act; toward this they should orient their pastoral practice, putting everything else to one side, for it is marginal!

The Holy Bible is the book that was willed by the three divine Persons, in their perfect communion of will, in order to communicate the eternal and immutable Word of God to the chosen people, to prepare them for the greatest happening in the history of the human race: the coming to the earth of Myself, the eternal Word of God, begotten from all eternity by the Father, with the Father's divine mandate of accomplishing the re-establisment of the equilibrium destroyed by Satan, and by man with original sin, by means of the second creation, with the mystery of my Incarnation, death and Resurrection.

First the Old Testament, and then the Gospel, are directed to the people, and are for the people of God, to enlighten them and draw them out of the darkness into which the human race fell with original sin. Its contents of light and of wisdom are accessible to all souls who are not intoxicated nor poisoned with the smoke of hell that darkens and infects, which is pride, vomited upon humanity by Satan, for he thinks, considers, and wants it to belong to him, by his conquest of evil, and upon which he tries to impose his kingdom of darkness, in opposition to the Kingdom of God, a kingdom of light, of justice, of peace and of love.

He who is not with Me is against me and does not have part with Me

No one has the right to interpret the Word of God, that is, Revelation, except those alone to whom God has delegated this task, that is, his Church, and in the Church only the one to whom was given the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: Peter, my Vicar, and the successors of the Apostles who live in communion with Peter.

The interpretations of so many proud and presumptuous theologians have been, are, and always will be, arbitrary; for it is certainly not the glory of God and the good of souls that have induced them to set themselves up as teachers of the people of God, since one alone is the Teacher: Myself, the eternal Word of God, visibly represented upon earth by the Roman Pontiff, and no matter who they are, theologians, pastors or priests, if they do not love, or accept, the magisterium of the Church, they are heretics, anathema, for they themselves place themselves outside the Church. The prestige, the dignity, or the office they discharge has no importance: “He who is not with me, is against me,” and “He who is against me has no part with me,” with my Kingdom, but on the contrary he has a part with the kingdom of Satan.

Son, how many there are now, in the higher and lower levels of the Church, who even if they are covered with purple, are outside my Church, who walk solemnly, and I repeat to you once again, covered with a velvety and hypocritical humility. Also many bishops are walking at the very edge of the precipice, who, although they protest their fidelity to the Church, do so passively, thus making themselves accomplices of Satan, the master and prince of lies, and they have allowed Satan himself to enter everywhere, above all in the seminaries, in the ecclesiastical universities, and in religious congregations, in order to demolish and sweep away many souls with error and heresy, who had been chosen in the plan of my providence as precious and fruitful seeds of a future harvest, but who instead were converted into instruments of perdition. Therefore, my son, I told you to advise those young men not to enter those seminaries, so that they would not be led into the jaws of ravening wolves.

Woe to him who attacks the word of God, disfiguring it and falsifying it

How can I be merciful to those pastors, who are responsible for so much damage and ruin? Do they not know that the shepherd gives his life for his sheep, while they have not lifted even one finger to prevent so much evil? What do they think, my son? When will they re-enter into themselves, to weep and deplore such insensate and foolish pastoral practice?

Son, this is a subject that cannot be exhausted in only one message; there is much more to tell you.

In my renewed and regenerated Church, the successors of my Apostles should be severely intransigent and vigilant so that the precious and inestimable patrimony of rny Revelation may not be so terribly lacerated by human pride, and so that the deposit of my Revelation may be protected like an "enclosed garden," to which no poisoned serpent will be given permission to enter.

My Word should be received purely and simply, just as I always manifested it, pure and simple, in my prophets. Woe to those who attack it, disfiguring it and falsifying it! It would be better for these unfortunate ones to be cast into the depths of the sea with a rock tied around their neck!

My son, I bless you. Pray, and offer reparation.
