I AM IN YOUR MIDST
Son, in my previous conversations there were not lacking signs of my presence among you; today I desire to all your attention one more time to this divine reality from which one could gather inestimable gifts, both in the order of spiritual and eternal life, and in the order of material and earthly life.
I, Jesus, Eternal Word of God, for ever begotten by the Father and in the fulness of time made flesh in the virginal womb of my most holy Mother, and your merciful Mother, am gloriously present at the right hand of the Father in the glory of Paradise; I am likewise really present in body, blood, soul and Divinity in all the consecrated hosts in the world; I am and will be in your midst until the consummation of the ages, until the end of time.
How is it possible that many do not seek the reason for this my presence, in the midst of men?
Why have I desired to remain in your midst, in spite of always knowing the treatment that men would give Me? Hatred, offenses, injuries, coldness, but also I knew that generous souls would not be lacking, who repay Me and compensate for all this evil that the impious do to Me.
The reason for my presence in the world has an answer, my son: love.
My Word
How do I realize my presence in my Mystical Body?
First, with the gift of my Word.
I have entrusted to the Church the patrimony, the spiritual deposit of my Word, that is the word of life and of truth; I have guarded this treasure with the assistance of the Holy Ghost. I am the truth and the life, that my Church can indicate with security to all souls without danger of erring.
The attempts against Me, the Word of God, have been continuous and ferocious in the course of the centuries. Heretics, false teachers, impostors, all instigated by the evil one, have done everything they could to erase Me from the face of the earth, I who am the way, the truth and the life, I the Word of God, but in vain. This materialistic age does not leave any means unused with the intention of destroying Me: sects, atheist groups, poisoned currents of perverse philosophies that destroy all sublime spiritual values, values of true civilization.
But is it possible that men have such poor memories that they no longer remember the tragic history of this century, that is your history?
What is extremely painful is the fact that many of my priests, instead of trusting humbly in the infallible magisterium of my Church, have placed themselves on the side of the enemies of truth, setting themselves up presumptuously as teachers, and thus have made themselves responsible for spreading not a few heresies, with great harm to souls. Why have so many of my priests become promoters, with Satan, of so much harm for souls? Pride makes them blind; it truly makes people blind.
My vicar
I am in the midst of you, son, in the person of my Vicar; to him all power has been given to feed the lambs and the sheep. He who loves him, loves Me. He who does not listen to him, does not listen to Me; he who fights him, fights Me; he who despises him, despises Me.
My Vicar ascends his Calvary day after day, but many do not realize this. He sheds tears for the sons who convert themselves into ravenous wolves and carry their flock to ruin. How I have become the object of scorn, of hatred and of wars!
My Vicar is at the helm of the ship in this sad hour in which the sea is strongly agitated, and the mute agitation of the waves is an omen of an approaching, tremendous storm.
My son, it is necessary to be close to my Vicar, to the sweet Christ of the earth; it is necessary to sustain him with prayer, with the offering of one's sufferings; it is necessary to love him and make him loved by others. Everything in good or in evil that is done to him, it is to Me that it is done. It is necessary to defend him from the frequent Satanic insinuations of his enemies. I am in him; I am present in my Church in his person.
The Eucharist
Son, I am also present in the Church in the mystery of love and of faith; I mean in the mystery of the Eucharist. I am truly present in body, blood, soul and Divinity.
If this presence of mine were believed, felt and lived in all its sublime and marvelous reality, by all my priests, it would be transformed into such a ferment of purification and supernaturalization, that they could transform the face of the Church, and they would draw from my merciful Heart many graces and even unexpected miracles. But unfortunately there are not very many who believe firmly. The majority believes weakly, and there are not lacking those who in reality do not believe in my Eucharistic presence.
My Vicar on earth has rightly and repeatedly spoken about the crisis of faith, the cause and origin of innumerable evils.
Where there is suffering
There is a fourth form of my presence on earth: I am really present in my saints.
Holy are those who live by my divine life; I am really present in my saints, who pursue with great tenacity the most daring conquests of all Christian virtues.
I am really present in those who suffer; where there is suffering there I am.
Besides I am also present in the victim souls; in them I find my complacence, my joys; they repay Me abundantly for the offenses, insults, blasphemies and sacrileges of those who do not love Me. They form the delights of my Father; the victim souls are those who have mitigated and detained the wrath of my Father for so many iniquities of this perverse generation, that instead of quenching their thirst with the fountains of living and pure water, burns in desires of quenching it with the putrefied waters of the swamps filled with uncleanness.
My son, love Me; love Me alone, with your love, with your faith and with your offering.
I bless you, and with you I bless all those for whom you pray daily.
