WHERE TO SEEK THE CAUSE OF SO MUCH EVIL

Write, my brother; I am the Archangel Raphael, and I want to complete with a thought of mine what was communicated to you in these days.

How is it possible that in you are alternating sentiments of confidence and of hope now, and of fears and uncertainty afterwards? This should not happen to you, after everything that was told you, and if it happens, you should seek the cause where it really is. I, Raphael, was sent to Tobias and to Sara with the mission of delivering her from the unclean beings who tormented her. Here is where it is necessary to seek the cause of the evil, that is to say, brother, you have to be convinced that you should free yourself of thoughts, doubts and fears, with the means you have at your disposition, for they are nothing else than the interference of your common enemy.

Brother Octavio, I had, and still have, the exalted honor of having been chosen as an instrument and as a minister, to realize those missions that were assigned to me; and you also, and also P., have been chosen to realize a great mission in the Church and in the Association of Hope; and this mission, destined to regenerate the Church itself, has its opposition, a severe opposition, with both internal and external action. The internal action consists in arousing fears, uncertainty, and disturbances of all kinds, and the external action is supported, by stirring up many persons against you, who oppose and attack you everywhere like wild dogs.

May a living faith guide you in the battle between good and evil

Brother Octavio, if you do not want to be overcome, you should defend yourselves with adequate means, always remaining in obedience, this very virtue being a weapon of defense. He, the omnipotent one, has given you the possibility of knowing with precision the siege with which you have been besieged, and still are, and he has provided you with all the means of defending yourselves, as you well know; and these means are: circumspection, prudence, prayer, sacraments, and sacramentals. Let not the incredulity of this century disturb you, nor that of so many of your brethren, nor the insensibility of many pastors; may living faith guide you in your work, for your common benefit and that of many souls.

Therefore, your line of defense is double: internal and external. The sacrament of Confirmation has made of you soldiers, that is, combatants, and the sacrament of Orders has made of you commanders, officials of these soldiers; therefore do not allow yourselves to be deceived. Atheism, extended today as never before, has quenched this awareness in the Church, by the darkening of the spirits, bringing indifference and inertia everywhere, and consequently, the ruin and perdition of many souls. For you it is evident that these are not fanatical exaggerations, but rather the sad reality, that is leading the world toward the abyss, into which it will be precipitated, through its obstinate will in rejecting the light.

Because of the subtle malice of the enemy, this problem should not be talked about

Do not be surprised by the insistence, Brother Octavio, with which we, who are in eternal beatitude, invite you to reflect upon the problem of the battle between good and evil, for this is the true and great problem of humanity, and in this matter, humanity has been, and is, deceived; because this is the problem that caused the death on the Cross of the Son of God, of the eternal Word of God made flesh; because this is the problem that Satan has desired to blot out of the minds of men, thus intensifying his deceit and his lies; because this is the problem, pay close attention to the subtle and accursed malice of the enemy: This is the problem about which it is necessary not to speak, about which one should not speak!

Brother Octavio and P., you are ministers of God, and as such, you should undertake the mission that God assigned to you, which consists in putting this vital problem upon the table once more, this central problem, without its mattering to you the hysterical convulsions of those who are betraying this mission, with the pretext that they cannot accept the spirituality of C., nor yours, in their diocese. Allow them to speak, always respecting their episcopal dignity, that they understand and use so poorly.

Forward; behold how close to you we are, for this is the problem, the only great problem, that concerns heaven and earth: Light and Darkness, God and Satan, SALVATION OR CONDEMNATION. This is the problem that concerns Paradise, Hell, and all of humanity; and for this reason, behold and comprehend how our, insistence is no exaggeration at all. Let us fight shoulder to shoulder, for the glory of God and for the salvation of souls; let us leave the dead for the dead, and go forward upon this rough road.

May God, One and Three, bless all of you; may he bless the Association that begins its path in this manner; may the Lord bless your steps, your good resolutions, now and always.
