Teaching 142

31. My Word will again discomfort men as in past times, but I will tell them the truth. Without denouncing anyone, I called the hypocrite a hypocrite, the adulterer an adulterer, and the wicked one, wicked. The truth had been offended and it was necessary for it to stand out, such as today, in which the truth has been concealed. That is why it has to emerge again before the eyes of men.

What do I teach you now? To bless everything and everyone, from the heart and spirit, for he who blesses that way, is similar to his Father, allowing His warmth to reach everyone. That is why I say to you: Learn to bless with the spirit, with the mind, with the heart, and your peace, your strength and your warmth will reach the one whom you send it to, as distant as you might believe.

What would happen if all men would bless one another, without knowing each other or ever seeing one another? The peace that would reign on Earth would be inconceivable. In order for that miracle to be realised, it is necessary that you elevate your spirit through the perseverance in virtue. Do you, by chance, judge that as impossible?

32. How many great converted sinners managed to reach the level of what you call sainthood! Those were not, in their origin, better than you, but you have not as yet reached that level of perfection. You begin to love; the gift of intuition begins to give its fruits, and you now have inspiration, because when I touch you, you respond.

Not all the doors are sensitive to My call, but those that are open, are the ones which allow My light to spread among you. The transformation of the sinner is not impossible.

Remember some names of the Second Era: Magdalene, Paul, Augustus, and Francis of Assisi. Why do you recall only those of the First Era?

33. These that I mention to you, knew about sin and even about the degradation of the passions; and on the other hand, they now shine like luminaries in the sky, and like illuminators of men, they emit their light to you.

34. Only I can reveal the unknown to you. Thus, I can tell you, that men of today try in vain to learn about the youth of Jesus on Earth. They scrutinise and use their imagination, but only My childhood and the time of My preaching is known.

I say to you: before rising to announce the kingdom of heaven, Jesus learned nothing from men. What did He have to learn from them, He, who in His infancy, confused the doctors of the law? That period of time, of which men know nothing, was only a time of waiting.

35. If you learn from Me with love in your heart, it is impossible for you to be wrong.

36. Thus I am preparing you. Some of you come today, and through you, others, and through those, others will draw near. Each day and each generation will feel Me closer, because their spirituality will be greater.

37. Be charitable each day; that will be your best elevation to Me. Give, help, comfort and that will be your best prayer of the day, because you would speak to the Father with deeds, not with words even if these may be beautiful in their form, but empty in their essence.

38. Pray to Me with your thoughts. You do not need a determined place to do so, and the position of your body is indifferent. Elevate your thought in peace to the highest, and wait for My inspiration.

39. What I am about to tell you on this day, not even the prophets know it; in my high judgments, only I can reveal it to you. Do not fear for not knowing the intimate judgments of your Father. Be happy, knowing that, as the Master, I will always be revealing new lessons to you.

44. None like man can reflect the Divine Spirit. The mind of man is the mirror of the Divine cause; his heart is the fountain where I safeguard the love; his conscience is the light of My Spirit.

If you doubt that you possess such great gifts and you feel unworthy of them, it is not the fault of your Father; it is yours, because you still have not understood the infinite love I have for you.

Realise that I have not come to judge you merely for your sins, because your blemishes have not been an obstacle for Me to manifest Myself before you in this manner. However, if tomorrow the men of science judge these manifestations badly, it will not be Me whom they will judge, but themselves.

45. I created man with such perfection, that by contemplating himself he can see a reflection of who his Father is. However, man has not known how to look at himself, nor penetrate into his inner self; that is why he has not recognised Me.

46. In the different eras, I have manifested Myself to men in an unexpected form. Who would have said that, in the Second Era, the promised Messiah, the Son of God, would not even have a humble home to be born in? Who would have said to you that Mary, the wife of the carpenter, would be the Mother of Jesus?

47. Since My first steps on Earth, I gave signs of My power, and nevertheless, many did not even have any intuition of My presence.

48. During this period of time I have not come to surprise you. If you had prepared yourselves, transmitting the promise of My new coming from father to children, from generation to generation, I would have found you waiting for My arrival; but no one was waiting for Me.

Some of you had forgotten these prophecies; others ignored them because they were hidden. How few of you scrutinised the firmament and observed the happenings of the world in each of the signs which would announce the time of My coming?

49. Nevertheless, those who were waiting for My return as the Promised Comforter, feel that the time has come, and that Christ has come spiritually to humanity; others have heard rumors of My coming and they have not believed.

50. Jesus said to His disciples: "I will be absent from you only for a time; I shall return." Then it was revealed to them that their Master would come on a cloud, surrounded by angels, and emitting rays of light over the Earth.

51. Behold! I am here on a cloud, surrounded by angels who are the spiritual beings who have come to manifest themselves among you as messengers of My Divinity and as your good advisors. The rays of light are My Word which speak to you of new revelations, and which overflow wisdom on every mind.

52. Blessed are those who, without seeing, have believed, for they are the ones who feel My presence.
