TO SEE YOUR LIFE UPON NEW FOUNDATIONS
Every major commander periodically reunites his helpers around his work table; with them he revises and studies the plans that they have elaborated for defense and also for attack against the enemy; these plans are realized and elaborated again continuously, according to the changes in the situation of the peoples.
Thus, my son, and with greater reason, should they act, those who in my Church have the precise duty of preparing the army of my soldiers (all the confirmed are my soldiers) for defense in the attacks of their spiritual enemies: the world, the demon and the passions, and of preparing them not only for defense but for attack also.
The battle that my soldiers should fight is the most important, the most necessary, the most urgent, of all the wars that are waged in the world.
It is the most necessary, because on the outcome of this battle depends eternal life or eternal death. It is the most urgent, because the well organized and well directed forces of evil want to have supremacy over the forces of good, and if the latter prevail it would be decisive for the future of the Church and of the world.
It is the most important battle, if they do not want to succumb in time and in eternity.
Son, in a previous conversation, I spoke to you with clarity about the strange battle that is in process since the creation of man. The Christians who lack orientation seem to have lost the reason for their existence, overcome by the crisis of faith, organized by the wicked tide of materialism, ill-guided and inadequately prepared and formed; they are frightfully overcome by the adverse forces of evil.
It is urgent to fix one's glance on one's origin, and to have the courage to look reality in the face, if one does not want to be defeated.
Spiritual remedies
- Lord, it seems to me that there are many initiatives and activities now in the Church precisely to place barriers to this evil.
- My son, activities and initiatives, studies and meetings are not lacking; there are even too many. But I have told you that it is urgent to cut off even from the roots; this means to have the courage of seeking the real causes of the defeat of the Christian world of today.
The Council has indicated these causes, but very few have taken them seriously; the majority, with diabolical foolishness, have taken these principles given by the Council, to create confusion and anarchy in my Mystical Body, among my officials and among my faithful.
The remedies to eliminate the causes of so many spiritual evils can only be spiritual ones also. It is obvious; the remedies that I have indicated for you with the shining examples of my life, passion and death.
The first remedy, fundamental and secure, is an authentic conversion.
No one should be surprised, neither the faithful nor much less the priests. Let my priests begin to examine themselves in their interior life: how much they will find that they should repair! To repair themselves, in order to repair the others, to sanctify themselves in order to sanctify the others: less useless and harmful reading, less television, less spectacles and shows, more meditation and prayer, more devotion to my Mother and your Mother also, more Eucharistic life.
Son, by many of my priests I am treated as an object, neither more nor less than as any kind of object. Nevertheless, I, Jesus, the eternal Word of God, and my Father also, are really present in the mystery of love, in the mystery of faith.
Interior benefit
If my priests have the courage to put their hand to the plow to give a beginning to this interior benefit, I will be with them; I will help them; I will assist them. I will console them so that they may not fail in their holy resolutions, and great also will be the assistance and help of my Mother.
From here, my son, tell it to your priest brethren, from here it is necessary to begin the great reform, in order to purify and make supernatural my Church, that has become paganized to a great extent.
For this purpose they should have meetings, in order to elaborate in a fraternal way the plans of personal and social defense of my Church. Let them not fear; I will be in the midst of them. Then I will truly make known to them my paths, and in these paths of mine I will guide them.
Tell them, my son, without fear, without timidity. Cast forth your small seed and pray, so that it does not fall upon sterile earth, but on fruitful earth.
I bless you. Love Me greatly.
