THE JUST MAN LIVES BY FAITH
Write, my son; I am Jesus.
“The just man lives by faith,” and faith finds its raison d’etre in Me, who am the eternal, living Word of God; it finds its raison d'etre in Me, who am the Truth, and to men I gave testimony of Myself as the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Son, you would like to know the why of everything, and I have already advised you not to do so, for in this manner your faith will be perfect, and will lead to your complete abandonment in my merciful Heart.
Today is the feast of my Body and my Blood. This mystery should be accepted and lived in the faithfulness of my Word. This mystery, already announced in the Holy Bible several times, revealed by Me, and then instituted at the Last Supper, is the greatest gift that God could accomplish for humanity, but especially for his Church, for its life. This mystery is in the center of the proofs demanded by the Father, to enter into the Kingdom of heaven; it is the object of this proof, and it forms the soul of him who receives it, and is transformed into life with hope and with love. Oh, my son, if only men knew how to preserve their hearts pure and free from sin, what power, what light they would receive from this mystery of love! The mystery of my Body and of my Blood is the greatest thing God, in his infinite munificence, has accomplished, and has desired to give to humanity, as a testimony of his infinite love for it.
Love makes me a prisoner in the eucharistic mystery
It is a continuous miracle, my son, not inferior to that of the creation of the universe not to that of the Redemption; not inferior to all the miracles worked in time, both before and after my coming; it is a perennial fountain placed in the world, so that men, in their brief pathway upon earth, might approach the Fountain of Life and nourish themselves from it, just as the Hebrews were nourished in the desert with my manna that the Father caused to fail upon the arid and sterile desert, so they would not become the prey of death. “He who eats this bread will have life, and will not die for ever,” but he who deliberately does not eat it, and he who eats it unworthily, will have eternal death.
- O my beloved Jesus! If you knew from all eternity the lot that would be reserved for your divine presence in the mystery of love, from human ingratitude and malice, why did you not do something to prevent so much evil?
- Son, the love that led Me to the Cross, is the same love that makes Me a prisoner in the Eucharistic mystery. My love for men is infinite, and overcomes human malice and ingratitude immensely.
My son, the motives of credibility in this great mystery are not lacking; even more, not only are they not lacking; they are abundant, and today, if Christians affirm that they do not believe, it is only through voluntary and culpable religious ignorance; if there are Christians who profane the mystery of Love, it is because these Christians have given themselves, soul and body, to Satan, who has entered so deeply into their hearts that he has become their absolute master.
The hour is near and it is inevitable
And if besides, there are priests, and so many, and not only simple priests, who celebrate the sacrifice of the Mass sacrilegiously, these, just like the ancient Hebrew priests, are dominated by the two concupiscences, that of the spirit and that of the flesh, and they cannot understand or see, for they are enveloped in the darkness of the demon himself, for which reason it can be truly said of them: “Homo animal non percepit ea quae sunt Spiritus Dei.” “The sensual man perceiveth not the things that are of the Spirit of God.” (1 Cor 2, 14)
My son, you know very well the state of tremendous depression in which my Church lies. All the warnings and all the calls have been of no use. The hour is near, and it is now inevitable; and my enemies, the new Judases, sold to the powers of evil, will be destroyed and scattered like straw before the wind.
Pray, my son: offer reparation with your sufferings; it does not matter if you understand or not; what matters is that with great humility, you believe, you firmly believe in Me, the eternal, living Word of God, present in my Church in the great mystery of Love and of faith, present, and so often alone, in my tabernacles.
I bless you, son, and with you I bless all the persons who are dear to you.
