THE
Ei ID TIMES AS REVEALED TO MARIA VALTORTA Editions Paulines CENTRO EDITORIALE VALTORTIANO SRL BREAKTHROUGH ON THE END TIMES Until recently, the End Times had been poorly understood because the best source on them, the Book of Apocalypse, is full of symbols difficult to interpret. But in 1943 there was a breakthrough. God lifted some veils off the Antichrist, the two Beasts, and the great Babylon; He shed light on the Woman clothed with the sun, and the two Witnesses; and He clarified many other Scriptural passages about the End Times. He did so in an extensive series of revelations to an Italian mystic, Maria Valtorta. Jesus did not grant those revelations to satisfy idle curiosity. Jesus bestowed them in these troubled days of ours to help you to persevere until your death and particular judgment. At times sad, at times exalting; at times soul-searching, at times comforting; Jesus' stirring dictations to Maria Valtorta are powerful prophecies, exhortations, rebukes, and teachings to shake us up, to show us our world for what it is, to enlighten our minds about public revelation and set our hearts on fire for God. — Find out why the period of the forerunners of the Antichrist is a concern of yours; — look carefully for hints on how to hasten the defeat of the Antichrist; — strengthen your hope by glimpsing Jesus' victory over the Anti¬ christ and Jesus' glorious blessings in store for His elect; — see the crackling tension between God's overflowing Love and His offended Justice; — heed Jesus's compassionate appeals to you for help to save your soul and the souls of others in these uncertain times of ours, these times of ours which are called ... ... the End Times.

Over the centuries, the Old Testament prophecies Jesus' own teachings and the writings of His Apos¬ tles, especially St-John's Apocalypse, have remained obscure to a great extent, as legitimate Church writers and commenta¬ tors did not manage to see through the veils, Meanwhile strange, biased, sometimes downright heretical opinions, spreading in many segments of Christendom, did not help to set things straight. The general outcome is one of darkness and confusion. In the 1940s, God compassionately decided to lift some of our ignorance about the end times, for two main reasons: * the end times had already begun; * most people were, and still are, ill-prepared, and jet a better preparation woo Id result in the salvation of more souls. Jesus Himself, the Word of God, willed to give an Italian woman,Maria Valtorta, "private" revelations meant for every¬ one, The revelations to her, of unprecedented breadth in Church history, mostly consisted of almost 700 visions that tl lustra ted the Gospel, and about 1000 dictations on a great variety of Christian themes, on current events in the 1940s, and on the limes to come. (Some of these dictations were dictated by heavenly persons other than Jesus; for more details see the section on Maria Valtorta and her writings.) Of all topics dealt with by Our Lord, especially in the dicta turns, the end times are possibly the one climactic and most urgent theme. Closely tied in with it, is the theme of the particular judgment awaiting everyone upon death. Hence the utmost importance for each one of us to prepare for dea th. And since such preparation is more difficult in these end times, Christ is trying to wake us up so we may react and be saved and help save others. Nothing that Jesus says to Valletta is meant to feed idle curiosity. Although some of His statements are astounding, they always serve a rational purpose, such as reminding us of God's a [mightiness. At any rate, everything Jesus says to Valtorta is meant to bring us all lo repentance from sin and to setting down to work. Christ wants workers, friends, co-work¬ ers in the work of atonement to save souls. But to shake us up. He deemed it fitting to give us an outline of history from the 1940s to the end of I he world, a precise chronology consisting of four major periods; • the period of the forerunners of the Antichrist, a Lready begun by 1943; * the period of the Antichrist; * the period of peace, a relatively short truce actual ly, not at all a literal millennium; during this truce a powerful evangelization, assisted by mighty supernatural mani¬ festations, will bring about the conversion to Catholi¬ cism of all people of good will; • the Satanic period, consisting in Satan's last war and persecution against the Church; this ends with Christ's second coming when Christ crushes Satan. Then the last judgment takes place and the world as we know it comes to an end. Eternity goes on. To shake us up from our complacency and lethargy, Christ has given us through Maria Valtorta the dearest and most complete picture of the end times ever penned, including chilling descriptions of the person of the Antichrist. To remove x false hopes, Christ dispels errors such as millenarlanism (the mistaken belief that He would physically reign on earth for a thousand years of peace), To prevent our being tempted to gi ve in to hopelessness or terror, Christ constantly reassures us of His love for those who love Him, of His infinite willingness to forgive those who turn to Him, of His power to save those who entreat Him no matter how bad the times are. Just as there is no room in the end times for idle curiosity, complacency, or yet again terror, there is no room either for anger or frustration. W* must be energetic, yes, to pray and act lo lessen the havoc about to be wreaked by the Antichrist; but our zeal must always stay within the perimeter of Christ's peace in our hearts. This is possible even in our times, the end limes; Christ's inward peace is possible even during the inhu¬ man times of the Antichrist looming over us. Maria Valtorta and her writings Maria Valtorta, one of the greatest Marian female mystics, was bom in Caserta (near Naples) in 1B97 and remained the only child of a mi li tary man andi a school teacher. After mov ing many times, the family in 1924 finally settled in Viareggio, a Mediterranean port near Pisa, By 1934 Maria was permanently bed-ridden, seriously dis¬ abled as the final outcome of a violent assault fourteen years earlier, when a young delinquent hit her hard in the lower back with an iron bar. Maria lost her father in 1935 and her mother in 1943- She spent the rest of her life in the family home until she died in 1961. While on the surface her bed-ridden years seemed com¬ monplace, her spiritual life grew powerful- In late 1942, her spiritual director, seeking to know her better, asked her to write her autobiography, Soon after she was done in 1943, she unex¬ pectedly began to receive private revelations from Heaven. Her director told her to put everything down in writing. Little did they know how much she would write from the spring of 1943 until late l95h * about 800 dictions from Jesus: deep, substantial rave- follows which, taken as a whole, are unique among all known private revelations in the history of the Church. • around 300 tevelaiioas by the Holy Spirit, by God the Father, by the Virgin Mary, or by Maria's guardian angel; • a series of almost 700 visions of Jesus' earthly life with Mary, the Apostles and tnany contemporaries of His, Mast of these took place in three years only {1944-1947) and filled nearly 10,000 hand-written pages in large scribblers. Besides ail that Maria kept up a plentiful correspondence with many priests, sisters, and lay per son &- By late 1950, the revelations to her were mostly finished; all of her writings pertaining to them had reached a grand total of 142 scribblers containing 16,420 manuscript pages. She now entered the last mystical stage of her life until she died on October 12,1961. By 1984, except for her abundant correspondence, all her writings had been published in the original Italian: 4 1956-1959, II Paema deii'Uomo Dio , first edition, four large books containing the TOO visions of Christ's life on earth; 4 1960-1967, H Poem deliVwna Dio t second edition, ten volumes; • 1969, Aidobiagrnfia, 445p„ written in 1943; • 1972, Li&fo di Azarin, 449p., containing the revelations by her guardian angel; • 1976 ,1 Qtmderni del 1943, S08p„ containing part one of the many dictations, apparitions, and visions to her on sundry topics; 4 1977, Lezioni SUiVEpistok di Panto ai Romani, 3l5p., con¬ taining a series of dictations by the Holy Spirit com¬ menting on the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans; • 1980,1 Quaderm del 1944, 878p., containing part two of the many dictations, apparitions and miscellaneous visions to her; 4 1984, J Qtetdtfnri dal 1945 nl 1950 , 664p„, containing part three of the dictations and apparitions and various visions; KIV * 1993-?, flimr mi f state rioelalo, which is the reedition under a new name of Jl poema dell'Uormt-Dio. So far only the first few volumes have been repub¬ lished. As of 1994, the following have been translated and pub¬ lished in English: * 1986-1990, The Farm of lira Man-God, five large books, 4228p., containing the 700 visions of Christ's life; * 1991, Autobiography, 442p.; * 1993, Tfrc BooJt of Azariah , 334p-, the revelations of her guardian angel; 4 1994, Tiie End Times as revealed in Maria Valtoria , the present book, containing only texts drawn from her miscellaneous dictations, apparitions, and visions. Context What are the end times about? Essentially, they are the time for Divine Justice to settle everything concerning Kanet Earth, Let us start at the end. The end times end with the last judgment- On this occasion, Christ will publicly demonstrate E lis mercy and justice by taking all His loyal friends to Heaven everlasting and by consigning all His enemies to never-ending hell. It will be the most spectacular event in the entire history of earth. In a way, however, the last judgment is only the making public of the sentences already passed "at the hour of our death," Hence we can see the dire gravity of the particular judgment of each and every individual. As the last judgment closes the end times, so the particular judgment closes the earth-bound life of each and every one of us- In turn an individual's success at the particular judgment hinges on whether he managed, with the Savior's help, to use well the personal freedom given him by Cod during his life¬ time. In turn this freedom isgiven him to make achoice: to love Cod and neighbor and self, or lo pamper the self to the detri¬ ment of God and neighbor. Such freedom is necessary. God wants to Love His creatures and be loved by them, but He does not force love on anyone and expects human love for Him to be manifested freely, through frw will, which is everyone's greatest power Through it, one must God's command* mails. By obeying them, one passes the one-time life-test, By breaking them, one fails forever- Thus we know when the end times come to an end and what Happens then: at the last judgment, the Kingdom of God closes its doors behind the Elect who passed their test, and leaves forever outside the Rejected who failed theirs. But do we know when the end times begin,., or have begun? And do we know what happens then? Those are ques¬ tions to which, unaided, humanity could never have hoped to find an answer. But Jesus has given the answers to a certain mystic for the common good of all mankind- And here is the context of His telling. It is difficult enough at any time to win with the help of Christ the Savior a good account before His tribunal at the particular judgment. It is even harder nowadays because for quite a number of years the Church, by and large, has failed to pass on Christ's teachings in a life-giving way. Such was Jesus' assessment already in the 194U&, as expressed to that certain mystic. And to remedy the situation. He made a special, au¬ thoritative intervention in 1943-1951, precisely through that certain mystic, Maria Valeria. Indeed, to compensate for the lack of proper leaching from the Catholic pulpits in the mid- 20th century, Jesus inaugurated a new method of teaching the Catholic Faith and thus of spreading the Faith- Jesus thus presented the Church with new supernatural tools, namely His Revelations to Maria Valiorta. These consist of almost 7tK) visions of episodes of His Life on Earth, some previously known and others not. His Revelations to her also consist of about BOO dictations on a great many topics pertaining to the Church's Life and the salvation of as many people as possible. Now as part of His dictations to her, Christ specifically dealt quite at length with the end times- That is where He told her that the end times had already begun by 1943. And He went on making very specific explanations and prophecies about the end times, covering all aspects of the happenings as they started in the 1940s and shall follow one another until the end XYII1 of time, like dominoes toppling one another until the end of the line. In the entire history of the Catholic Church, there is nothing that can compare with these revelations that come from the very mouth of Jesus Ch rist. Proffitts prophesied about the end times vaguely. But the Prophet of prophets, Jesus Christ, in the mid-20lh century, prophesied about the end times with aston¬ ishing precision and unimaginable descriptions, as well as with most profound and clear explanations of the cause of so much horror to be witnessed by humanity from 1943 until the Last judgment. Thus we are in the end times. And this has an overwhelm¬ ingly important implication. There is no time to waste before joining the most sublime task there can be: helping to save as many souls as we can. For many are on their way to damna¬ tion—Jesus Himself says that "the majority" are. And they cannot work on their own at their own salvation. They need hilp, Your help and mine. What Jesus has to teach is serious. It is Divine Truth. And only Truth can save human beings, whose greatest and most despicable enemy can be none other than Satan, the Father of Lies and the Killer of Believers in God. And it is good to bear in mind that the goal of God's Plan is His glory through the sanctification of a certain number of His human creatures who are then brought into Heaven for eternity to share in His Love. When that happens. Earth will have reached the end of its existence, history, and purpose. In the meantime, we are in the end times, described in the pages of this book. Leo A.

Furthermore, this book does not contain all the passages about the End Times in all her works. Tfitf Pflfitt qf the Man-Cad and the commentary on St. Paul's epistle to the Romans oom- I 'ri.se strong words on the End Times, but they are not included here, since they already are in print or are to be in other boob. The present book consists of extracts only from Valforta's volumes entitled / Quaderm del !Sf3, f Quademidel 1944, and 1 Omiili'mi dal 1945 itf 1950 (throughout referred to as Q43, Q44, ,ind {)45). Page references to the Qtiademi all follow the model ■ if tJ43:S3-K5, which means 1 Quademidel 1943, pp,83-85. Sometimes the quotations retained ben? refer to other texts in tin? CJniiderifi which are too indirectly related to the End \ lines to be part of this book: the reference is given anyway to i hr original Italian (for example, Q45:222 would mean 1 {Juadrrni dal 1945 al 1950, p.222). Whenever a passage referred tn is indeed quoted in this book on the End Times, the reference vs given to ET (for End Times) and the page number, for iiiNtance ETi78. All notes are found at the back, on pp. I53ff. XXI Despite the restrictions on the contents of the present book, there is more than enough about the End Times to serve Christ's purpose; to rouse His followers to spiritual action (see Fore¬ word )- In the course of His teachings, Jesus sheds light on many a Scripture that had remained obscure until now. This book quotes the Bible from its Douay-Challoner translation, except that archaic expressions have been replaced with current equivalents. Since Heaven knows best, all the revelations to Maria Valtorta have been left in the chronological order in which they were given. It will be seen that the Lord adopts a cyclical presentation, as He first hints at something, then comes back lo it in greater depth, and touches upon the same topic several times more. Due to their specific purpose, however, the three Quaderni did not have Valeria's writings in their chronological order, and that is why the page references to Q43, etc, seem jumbled up although the dates are orderly. (The three QiHWfrmi were designed to reproduce the texts in the same order as they are found in the original handwritten scribblers. These in turn do not contain the texts in chronological order, because whenever Valtorta's spiritual director saw hen he took the scribbler she was currently writing in so as to read it and make a typewritten copy. At the same time, he returned the scribbler he had pre¬ viously borrowed and she simply continued writing in it to save paper.) Valtorta left Jesus' dictations to her untitled. I am the one who added tides. Most notes are translated from Q43, Q44, & Q45 and adapted for this book.

April 23, 1943 Complete dictation Q43:83 Jesus says: "The first time My Father, to purify the earth, sent a cleans¬ ing by water; 1 the second time He sent a cleansing by blood, 2 and by what Blood! Neither the first cleansing nor the second has availed to turn the human beings into children of God- Nbw the Father is weary, and to make the human race perish He Lets the chastisements of hell go wild, because human beings have preferred hell to Heaven, and their Ruler, Lucifer, torments them to make them blaspheme Us so as to make them completely his children. "I would come a second time to die, to save them from an even more atrocious death. But My Father will not allow it. My Love would allow it, but My Justice would not. He knows it would be useless. Therefore, I will come only at the last hour. But woe unto those who in that hour will see Me after choosing I Lucifer as their lord? There will bo no need of weapons in My angels' hands to win the bailie against the antichrists. My glance will be enough. "Ohl If people could still tum to Me who am salvation! 1 desire only that and I weep because 1 see that nothing can make them raise their heads towards Heaven horn where J stretch My arms towards them.

No, children who ask the Father for revenge: He is the Father of forgiveness! Even if My Face were to flash in your skies and My Voice, which made the worlds, were to thunder from east to west, things would not change.

You would climb on top of them to oppress others, in your turn, from that throne set upon punishment. "This is what you would like—that I should strike so you could strike in your turn, lam God mid I see in people's hearts and therefore, in this case, I do not listen to you.

For them 1 died uselessly. "The taiu of those marked by the Reasi is the opposite of My Law. In one, the flesh rules and produces works of the flesh.

"The more real priests are in the world when the times are ful filled, the shorter and leas cruel will the ti me of the Antich rist and of the last convulsions of the human race be.

Just as God gave every Nation its guardian angel, Lucifer gave it its demon. As the various Nations' angels obey one God, so the various Nations' demons obey one Lucifer. "The order given by Lucifer in the present event to the various demons does not differ from State to State- ft rs only one order for all. For this reason one can understand that Satan's kingdom is not divided and therefore lasts. 'This order can be expressed like this: 'Sow horror, hopc- lessncss, errors, so that the peoples, cursing God, may break away from Him.' 'The demons obey and sow horror and hopelessness, wipe <mt faith, smother hope, destroy charity. On the rubble they 7 sow hatred, lust, atheism. They sow hell, and they succeed because they find the ground already suitable. "My angels too battle to defend whatever Country 1 have assigned to them, but My angels do not find a suitable ground. Therefore they tome off worst against the infernal enemies. To overcome. My angels should be helped by souls living in the Good and for it, souls living in Me.

Light in the light! Comparing Christ's bright, cheering figure with that of the other one, Christ's very gentle, clear eyes with those wicked ones of the other, means that the wretched sinners who are set aside for the second one because they rejected Jesus should really be mourned for. Well, now that f have seen it...

And even more grateful because His dear Voice makes nu- understand why I had this vision which yesterday terror- iml me, since I thought it was meant as a warning to mg. Jesus says: "Consider My Radiance and Beauty compared to the Beast's black monstrosity. "Don't be afraid to watch even if it is a repulsive sight- You are in my arms. It cannot go up to you and harm you- See? It does not even look at you- It already has so many preys to follow. "Now do you think it would be worthwhile to leave Me to follow it? Yet, the world follows it and leaves Me for it. "Look how glutted and throbbing it is. It is its hour of fciisling. But look too how it seeks shadows to act- It hates Light, and it used to be called Lucifer! See how it hypnotizes those who are not marked with My Blood? It piles up its efforts h'-catise j'i ifcHflMfs that it is its hour and that My hour is drawing near when it shall he forever beaten. "Its infernal craftiness and satanical intelligence are a con¬ tinuous working of Evil, in antithesis to Otir One and Triune working of Good, to increase its prey. But craftiness and intelli¬ gence would not prevail if within people there were My Blood and an f rawest will. People lack too many things to Jmiw nwpMS to oppose to the Beast, and it kn&v$ it and acts openly, without even covering itself with deceitfitl appearances. "May its loathsome ugliness lead you to a greater and greater conscientiousness and a greater and greater penance, tor you and for your wretched brothers and sisters whose souls are senseless or have been seduced and who cannot see or, though they see if, run up to the Evil One, to have his help for one hour and pay for it with an eternity of damnation." 11 12.

Our seiti>u* sio*tlesen e war and scourge which will help a few bo repent, though many will perish. July 21,1943_ Complete dictation_043:226-230 Jesus says: "l already told you [Maria] that what is said in the ancient books has a reference to the present® It is as though a series of mirrors would repeat and bring farther and farther ahead a sight seen behind. "The world repeats itself in its errors and in its repentance, with thi s difference, however: errors have become more and ft tuts perfect with the development of the human race towards so-called civiliza¬ tion, while repentance ftas become more and more embryonic. Why? Because as the world passed from childhood to a more mature age, the world's malice and pride have increased. "Mow you people are at the ape* of the world's age and have also reached the ape* of malice and pride. "However, do not think |Maria) that you people still have as much to liveas you have lived. You are at the ape*, and that should mean you have as much to live. But it will not be so. The world's downward course to the end will not be as long as its upward course. It will be a crashing down in the end. It is precisely malice and pride that are making you emsk two weights dragging you into the abyss of tire end, at the dreadful judgment. Pride and malice, besides dragging you into the downward course, so dull your spirits as to make you more and more unable to stop your downhill fall with sincere repentance, "But if you have proceeded like that: against Good, head¬ long towards Evil; I, the Eternal One, have remained immu¬ table in My exact measure of Good and Evil. On the day light came into being and the world began with it, 23 the Mind that does not err decided once and for all tuXat is Good and what is Evil Human strength, that slight human strength, cannot budge and undermine that eternal code written by God's finger on un¬ touchable paps that are not of this earth. "The only change since the moment when My Will created the world and mankind, is this: that beforehand you had to 12 control yourselves and behave according to the tables of the Law and the words of the Prophets: afterwards you had Me, (he Word and Redeemer, to explain the Law to you, to give you My teaching and My Blood, to bring to you with My coming the Spirit who leaves no shadows, and to sustain you through¬ out the centuries with the Sacraments and sacramentftls, "But what have you done with My coming? A new burden of sins you will have to answer for, "Do we wish to look together at the ancient pages which contain the explanations for the current hour? They felt like a goad to you, [Maria,] but 1 will show them to you better. "What is promised to those who keep the Law? Prosperity, abundance, peace, power, healthy and plentiful offspring, tri¬ umph over the enemy, because the Lord would be on the edge of His servants' swords against those who want to lift their flands on the children of the Most High. What are the Law¬ breakers threatened with? Hunger, shortages, wars, defeats, plagues, God-forsakenness, enemy oppression through which the ex-children of the Most High become like harassed, scared, *ihuightor-doomed herds,” "You people bewail the hour in which you live. In fact you find it unjust? Its sternness seems too harsh? No, It is just and less harsh than what you deserve. "I have saved you and resaved you in thousands of ways, I have forgiven you and reforgiven you for seven thousand arid seven thousand crimes. I came precisely to give you Life and Light. I, Light of the world* cattfe into your darkness to bring you the Wonl tfnd the Light, 1 no longer spoke amidst whirlwinds and lire through the Prophets' mouths. No, i Myself came person¬ ally.

"You can no longer say: 'Wc don't know what God is/ I took flesh so you would have a Flesh lo love, since it is not enough for your awkwardness to love a spirit. "Well? What have you done? What have you been doing more and more? Turning your backs on God, on His altar, on His Being—that's what, Not wanting God, the One and Triune God, the true God. "You wanted gods. Your present gods arc more shameful than the ancient gods or the fetishes of idolaters. Yes. The fetishes of idolaters. Idolaters still harbor respect for the image of God just as their mentality and ignorance can make it ou t. And in truth, in truth I tell you that natural idolaters will be judged far less fwrshly Shan you, idolaters of malice, who ha vescld yourselves to the icons/ idolatry; self-idolatry. "Yes, you have created for yourselves gods of flesh, of corrupt flesh, and before these gods you have been able to sing hosanna and bow your heads and backs that you were unable to bow before God. You have scorned, denied, scoffed at, and broken My Law; but you have accepted and obeyed, like slaves and tamed animals, the deceitful law given to you by poor men even more corrupt than you and whose doom is such as to make all of heaven tremble with horror. "Idolaters! Idolaters! Pagans! You have sold yourselves fo fire flesh, to money, to power, to Satan who is boss if these three evil kingdoms of flesh, money and power? "But why, why, O My people, have you gone out of tbe Kingdom I had given you? Why have you mn away from your King of Perfection and Love and preferred the chains and uncivilized stale of the Kingdom of Satan, Prince of Evil and Death? Is this how you pay back the Most High who is your father and Savior? And you are amazed if fire springs from the earth and fire rains from the sky to bum down the haughty and treacherous race that has disowned God and welcomed Satan and his agents? 14 "No, Satan docs not need to labor and toil to swallow you! i have to toil to try and draw you to Me again, because if you have disowned your origin, I remember being your Father and Savior, Until the last hour, when you are gathered for the implacable SOrting-out, I do not disown My wretched children and I still try to save them. "This, Maria, this punishment 2 * is not undeserved. It is just. 11 is harsh because the sins of you sinners arc extremely serious. But it is not, f repeat not, given out of mischief by a God who is all goodness. Your God would give Himself up to spare you it, if He knew this would help you. But He must.

"Do you understand [Maria] who these stars I am speaking ’bout are?

If despite the light still given off by the priestly Church souls are sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness, it can be guessed what darkness shall drive the crowds down when many stars have died down in My sky. "Satan knows it and scatters his seeds la prepare the weakness of the priesthood, lobe able to sweep it i«y easily into sins, not so much of the senses as of their minds. In a mental dittos, it toil! be easy for him to bring iihouf a spiritual chaos.

"It must needs be that the Qwrch suffer what its Cmitm suffered, before dying to rise in an eternal form. It must needs be that the Church suffer much longer because it is not r in its ntembers, perfect like its Creator and if I suffered for hours, it must suffer for weeks and weeks of Jafluxs. “In the early times the Church was persecuted and fed by a supernatural power in her best children and then she sprang up. She witt have the same lot when the last times come, in which site will exist, subsist, and resist the satanicat tide and the battles of tite Antichrist with her best children: a painful, albeit just selection. "hr a world in which so many spiritual lights will have died, it is logical that there openiy begins the brief but dreadful reign of the Antichrist , begotten by Setatf just os Christ was begotten fry the Father. Christ is the Father's Son procreated by Love with Purity. The Antichrist will be Satan's son procreated by Hatred with triple Impurity. "Like olives between the grinders of the oil-press, the chil¬ dren of Christ will be persecuted, squeezed and crushed by the greedy Beast But they wilt not be swallowed, because the Blood will not let them be corrupted in the spirit. Like the first children, the last shall be mown down like sheaves of grain in the dire persecution and the earth will drink their blood, But forever iiJessfd for their perseverance are those who die faithful to the Lord" 14, Jesus is to judge everything July 26,1943 Extract _ Q43:3l7 Jesus says; "1 tell y&u all that I am the Father's Voice and that I speak rn His name.

"The heart of the man whom the prophet calls wicked, is a mixture of pride, bullying, rebellion. Tlif threefold lust indwells its a throne on which the Evil One is sealed to fill with demo¬ niacal thoughts that heart which disowned God and His Jus¬ tice. Nothing can come out of that heart but iniquity, because its King is the Spirit of Evil, who gives short-lived triumphs paid off later with everlasting ruin. As the wicked man who rules under the Beast's sign passes like a stream of sorrow and IB corruption in the land of the saints—and Rome is a land of saints—he sways other small-time ungodly people into evil and torments the Lord's children, "It is fair that the Lord should veil His glory in front of the wicked man, in this and the other dwelling.

"But it is said: 'When the Son of Man comes He will not find faith in hearts-'" Consequently rationalism is doing its uwJt. I wilt do Mine.

It is a painful hour My poor children going through it, but it is unavoidable that it be so, because everyth] ng is to be fulfilled, of Good and Evi I, on Earth before My hour comes- Then T will say: 'Enough!' and 1 will come as Judge and King to take on even the rule of earth and toj udge the sins and merits of mankind. "When you read in John's book the words; 'the hour of judging the dead/ you think they refer to those who have already, perhaps centuries ago, passed on to other spheres of mystery, a mystery which one will know only when one is let in. Yes, Death means emigration of the soul into other zones, different from earth. But there is a broader meaning in John's words: the dead of whom he speaks can be alive too, according 1 l> the flesh, but in reality, in the eyes of who can see, are Dead. "They are the great Dead, because no resurrection is in store pr them. Dead to God, they will never have pr ever and ever the good of prissessing Life, fn other words God , because God is Life eternal. "In the same way, the prophets, servants and saints of whom John speaks have a broader meaning than what the mere words could arouse- Under those three titles, they hint nt aii the cr™ lures If nit hate been abie lo live in the spiril. "How many humble little old women, how many ptn>r children, how many simple and uneducated men, how many 23 illiterate women,, unknown to the crowds, are hidden and understood in the words: prophets, servants and saints. Were they made known to the world it would laugh at them. But in truth, in truth, I tell you that one of these paupers, according to the flesh, to more of a prophet, servant and saint of Mine than a proud scholar, a great swaggerer, even a minister of Mine, looking what turns jtou into saints in My eyes: being able to live according to My Word and being abie to do My Wilt unlit steadfast faith r charily and itope.

Only one creature did not taste, 1 do not say the bitter taste, but I say also: the bitter stink of sin. It was Mary, My most beloved Mother, the one who did not make Me regret the Paradise I left behind to become Flesh in your midst and redeem your flesh, because in Mary 1 continu¬ ally found the eternal purities and bright loves that are in Heaven. In her was the Father who caressed her as the Perfect One among creatures. In her was the Holy Spirit who with His 24 Fi re penetrated her to turn the Virgin into the Mother, Around her were the hosts of arygels worshipping the Trinity in a creature, "Mary's womb! Mary's heart! No, the mind most enrap¬ tured in God cannot descend to the depth, or rise to the vertex, of these two perfections of purity and love, l illuminate them tor some of you, 1 illuminate them for the dearest of My dear ernes. But only when you are where perfect Knowledge is found, will you understand Mary. "All of mankind is sinful. But there is the sinner who is just a sinner, and there is the wicked man, in other wards the one who takes sin to a demoniacal perfection. For the Devil knows how to reach the perfection in Evil, and his most devoted disciples are no less than their master. "[ have already told you: 'Lucifer strives to imitate God, in evil of course. He takes on, 1 will say, the lifestyle and form of cou rt that the Son of God had- The devil poses as Christ, and like Christ has apostles and disciples. Among these he will choose r he perfect one to turn him rrito the Antichrist. For now we are in the preparatory period of the forerunners of the Antichrist 1 already told you that.* "The wicked man shall be brought to the graves.' It is natural. Lucifer can give his favorites, his followers, his slaves all forms of help, but not immunity from Death, been use / alone :frw Life and I alone have conquered Death. Therefore when the sum lotal of evil committed by the wicked man is complete, l give orders to Death to take possession of that flesh. That flesh therefore knows the honor of the grave. For the wicked man it wil! be a real grave. "For the good, for the redeemed, for the forgiven it is not *o, because they believe and know on the basis of faith. The grave is a place where the mortal garment turns back to its nature of dust- Unto the spirit is set pee, auditing the hour when what was created will be formed again to enter into glory or damna¬ tion, with the perfection of creation which God created tor I mman beings: Ife unton of a spirit to a flesh. Immortal spirit like t Sod its Creator and Fattier, and mortal flesh made like an i'Lirthly animal, the sovereign of the earth and heir of I leaven lot: often prefers earth to Heaven and is on 'animal' not on 25 Amount of being 'animated/ but on account of living like a bmie no less than real animals, and sometimes more so, 'Sou Is, divided from bodies, have three dwellings. They will have them until there remain but two, after the Judgment that makes no mistakes. The blessed rejoice i rnmediately in the eternal rest. The souls in Purgatory actively carry out their expiation, thinking about the hour of freedom in God. The damned are restless, raging over the good they lost. The more wicked they were, the more restless they are in their terrible torture, "Now as for the Wicked Man, who with his godlessness swayed others to godlessncss and drove others to si n (these are the men and innumerable people spoken of by the Book), he will be like a sleepless tower in a stormy sea. Before him, the crowd of those killed (in their souls) by him; before him, the vivid memory of those many soul-murders committed by him, and remorse, which has given no peace to killers since the day Cain shed his brother's blood, 43 will Sash him far more dreadfully than hell's scourges. "He will watch over his Crime, he who hurled himself against God in God's creatures and like a furious wild beast wrought havoc in souls. How awful to have before oneself the proof of one's misdeed! Punishment upon the other punish¬ ments! Horror beyond numbers (fitting! the Wicked Man's countless sins among sinners. "Now, Maria, to comfort your heart which is becoming depressed before extracts from another world where God's Love docs not rule but His Sternness does, lift up your spirit as you listen to these words just for you and the souls li ke you, "Do you know what hearts given to Love mean to Me? They ate My Paradise on earth. You are the ones who bring a little piece of heaven onto this poor world, and on that little piece the Son of God sets foot to come find His delight among the Father's children, "Open your heart to your Jesus. Give Me you heart. Give it to Me completely. 1 want it as Physician and Friend of spirit and of flesh, as Spouse and God who has chosen you for your faith and your bold sentiment of love." 26 21. A truce as opposed to peace (■' H h* dictations to Maria Va Marta Jesus often, abuut current pvcnfr draw* spiritual teachings from Elwm. Here He warns about the true* jbout to follow World War IT, calling it a tfuce r nol real pnet. A ugusk 15j 1943 Extract Q43:1 32-133 Jesus says: "War means ruin for many, but a Iso profit for many, and/or tin* sake of one's profit, one disregards the collective profit. You hoe one another so Utile that each orif of you fives shut in his arm selfishness and armed with slings for his neighbor. ■ ■ ■ "That is not the turty to obtain what is asked for. The truce will come, because come it must, but it will be only a trttee. A truce is fwac ffrrrjg and peace another. Peace means external and internal harmony, sought for and wanted with spiritual sight and sentiment. "If only you could come to Me, with lips and souls dean andfired with true charity, 1 would give you this peace , / twufcf gibe rf to you against all the obstacles which Evil rvould set up to prevent it, because I am the eternal Conqueror. But even among the not many who will pray in the churches today for this, few, very few will have the requirements that make prayer powerful. It is a painful and ghastly truth, but it is no use hushing it up because its evil remains though hidden. "Poor people, how evil you are! Were this truth to thunder from the heavens, people would be offended tike the Pharisees when 1 used to denounce them, disclosing their secret vices. "But it is as 1 say. True and holy peace is net desired by all. You are so slow-witted and riddled with wicked tendencies that you do not even manage to hair tlx tone of truth which One better than you rmuiJs to yiiw. But that is the truth- Tfips be another truth IwAHse there is only one truth. "We are still back at that discourse: 'What if ten upright people should be found there?' 4 * But the just are so few against the mass of the unjust Satan has avast number of children and servants. The Son of God, when it comes to rent children and mri servants* has an insignificant number of them. It is in I his unbalance that the cause of your ruin is found." 27 22.

She would have been a great upright woman, like many men and women of the ancient times* but nothing more. Croce, the soul's life , would have been killed in her by original sin, "ft is I who have conquered death and Death, l who have called back to life the dead of CiiuJu. They were asleep, like Lazarus, whose ne$urrectign w to'flteaf ffcs more real one. 1 called them, and they rose again.

I was bom alive in the midst of those begotten dead by Adam. "J am the 'First-born' according to the divine order toou/se J am the Father's Son, Begotten , not created by Him. "To beget means to produce a life. To create means to form. I can create a new flower. The artist can create a new work- But only a father and a mother can beget a life, "1 am therefore the 'First-bom' because, bom of God, I am at Ihe head fall those bom (according to grace) of Cod. 28 "By My Death 1 violently shook the doors of the beyond and drew out the sleeping unto the first resurrection. At the tame time, l opened the sluices of the mystical lakes in whose cleansing the sign that falls is washed off. Thus the Death of the spirit, the rea l Death, dies; and the Life of the spirit, t h e rea l Life, is torn. "At last, 1 am the 'First-born' from the dead because My Flesh was first to enter Heaven, which at the last Resurrection the fleshes of the saints will enter Meanwhile, their spirits await in the Light the glorification of their complete selves. This complete glorification is just, because they sanctified themselves by overcoming the flesh and martyrizing if to bring it to victory. It is just, because Ute disciples are iike the Master, out of the Master's loving will, and i, yout Master, entered dory with My Flesh that was martyred for God's glory. "Further cm l will speak to you about the two resurrections, which yqu people always see with human reference points, whereas they should be seen with spiritual sight. "My being divinely and humanly Firs!-ton* gives Me, there¬ fore, sovereign rights, because it is always a king's first-born who inherits the crown. And which king is more of a King than My Father? "He is the eternal King whose reign has neither beginning nor end, and against which all enemies are powerless. He is safe King, rival-less, who raises Me as He begets Me to His own .sovereignty because l am One with the Father, consubstanttal with Him, inseparable from Him, a living, active, perfect part of Him. He is the holy, holy, lady King of such Perfection that the human mind cannot imagine it. Blazing in Heaven, on earth and over the nether regions, overflowing over the mountains, investing with Itself all that is—such is My Father's glorious holiness, a holiness which We worship because it is from it that We are begotten and from which We proceed, "Glory, glory, glory be to the Father; Maria, always glory to I Jim because from Him every good comes and Ihe first Good is !, your Sftutor.

The time of the spirit must come. "Mankind started off from a deep darkness and from a dreadful weight of mud, after losing divine Light of its own will by giving heed to the enemy's seduction. The true essence of this seduction is hinted at in the fruit that teaches Good and Evil, which in other words revealed to mankind what God, for its own good, had concealed from the matter, from the mind, from the heart. How pure, how peaceful, how upright, how godly all of you would have been had you not bit into the th reefold concupiscence which is sweet to the mouth, but more bitter to the spirit than the vinegar and gall offered to Me on the Crossl 51 "Fallen from their paradisiacal dwelling on earth, crushed by the revelation of their flesh desecrated by lust, tortured by tlie remorse of having caused their own evil, anguished by the conviction that they had aroused God the Creator's punitive tinger, they were but poor animal beings in which all the lower forces struggled and gained strength. ,J [ already pointed out to you** [Maria] the difference be¬ tween the precepts given to Moses and Mine. Moses' were necessary, in their provoking crudeness, to curb the tendencies of people who were pieces of flesh barely moved by souls wounded to death and stunned in a spiritual coma. The mem¬ ory of the Light lost survived in their souls' depths and led their steps towards the light.** It was a very tiring Journey because matter is heavier than the spirit and drags downwards. Every so often the goodness of the Eternal One gave mankind ’beacons' for the stormy crossing towards the real Light. The patriarchs and the prophets were the beacons of mankind seeking the harbor of Light. 31 "Then ca me the One whom John, the Beloved, calls 'the true Light which enlightens everyone.'” "I can re, I Light af the world and Word ofthe Father, mid I brought back to you Fence with the Father, the embrace which makes people become children of the Most High again- "1 am the Oro? who rekindled the dying life of your spirits. "J am the One who taught you the necessity of being born in the Spirit, "1 am the One who gathered in My Person alt the Light, Wisdom and Love of the Triad and brought it to you.

"lam the One who, levering on My scaffold, raised your spirits iaid low in the mire and gave them a powerful thrust to proceed towards God's Light, towards Myself who m Heaven am awaiting you. "Over the centuries, however, few in the world have bene¬ fited from it because the world has been preferring darkness to the Light mow and more. 1, with My atrocious death, have obtained for you the coming of the perfect Spirit ; but, over the centuries, man¬ kind has rejected Him more and more, as it has rejected Mo, os it has rejected the Father. "Think of a liqueur being purified: what is heavy drops to the bottom and the dean parts rise. The same thing, throughout the centuries, has been happening to mankind. TAose who wanted to remain flesh and blood have fallen lower and lower, while those, the aristocracy of My flock, who wanted to live in the spirit, have become mew end more spiritual. In the middle ate the name¬ less lukewarm. There are two contrary mass movements. One group, unfortunately the larger one, ofcsarfes Safari more and more and sinks below the level of beasts. The other group, the smaller one, absorbs Christ more and more; it feeds on His Word—which for 20 centuries has not been silent— and so it becomes more and more able to understand the Spirit. "When l use special means it a fa hasten —because time is getting short —the fullness of the leaching of the Word and the fullness of the spiritual formation of the rea i disciples, the rea l subjects of Jesus Christ the King , 1 am not King of the Jews, as was 32 Ironically said and written* by a weak man who thought he w,is strong with his poor power, 1 him King of the World before the fudgment of the world. "Mankind, proceeding towards the Iasi hour, must achieve spir¬ ituality. But understand Me, [Maria]. God Is spirit; Satan is ipirit- God is Spirit of Perfection. Satan is a spirit of sin. The mass is split in two of its own will, which God respects; all follow the side of their choice. The children of the Most High and My brothers and sr'iVcs cfrwse God's side and out of love fir Us spiritualize the flesh. Satan's slaves and the Beast's offspring choose Lucifer's side , intdfor the sake of the slavery which they themselves wanted , they kid die spirit under carnality, they turn their spirits into foul and disgusting flesh and blood.

The proof is that I must choose special creatures worthy of that much through their own efforts or made worthy through a miracle of love, "Twenty centuries ago T spoke to everyone. When the time comes I will speak to these only, convinced as T am that speak¬ ing to the others would be useless. Thus tine sorting out of the elect from the reprobate will begin. "You, poor Maria, are one of these souls made worthy by My will. You have but one good thing: the goodwill of love. But that is the kind of will that is enough for Me, On it [can set My Master's chair to turn the little soul into a pedestal, to say, repeat and repeat again the words of love and invitation to Love, who guides and saves.

"It is said: To the one who overcomes 1 will give to eat of the tree of lifeThat thought has been applied to Me. "Yes, 1 am the tree of eternal life and give Myself to you people as food in the Eucharist, and seeing Me will be the overcomers" joyful food in the next life. But there is another meaning unknown to many, precisely because many who com¬ ment upon Me are not 'overcome rs,' "Who is an overcomer? What does it take to be one? Works ringing with heroism? No, then those who overcome would be too few. Overconsers are those who overcome within themselves the Beast that would like to get the upper hand of them. In truth, between the dreadful but brief martyrdom assisted by super- natural and natural factors, and the secret, unknown and con¬ stant struggle, the one of greater weight on God's scales-^or at least the one of a weight of a different, precious kind —the struggle. "No tyrant is worse than the flesh and the Devil , And those who can overcome thefksh and the Devil and turn their flesh to a spirit and the Pethf into a loser, they are the overcomers, "But to he such they need to have given themselves totally to Love. Totally: those who love with all their strength keep nothing for themselves, and keeping nothing for themselves keep nothing far the flesh or far the devil They give their Cod everything and God gives those who love Him everything. "He gives fh*m fits Word This is what He gives thenvercomers to eat, starting on this earth, and He could have given them nothing greater. He gives Me, the Father's Word, to be food of the spirii consecrated to heaven. "My Words come down to feed the souls wholly given to their Lord Cod. My Words come to be priests and leaders for you people who seek true guidance and notice so many weak guides on account of the crowds that perish without true 36 guidance. Yoh who have understood Truth, you tome that only this « necessary: to live on My Words, believe in My Words , litwrtftng to My Won/s. "What do you think [Maria] of someone who wants to live on sweets, liquor and tobacco? You say he will die because that is not the food he needs to live healthily. The sante is Jrwf of someone who works hard for a thousand outward appearances and does not look after what the nucleus of the soul's whole life is: My Words . "Why do the Mass, the Eucharist, and Confession not sanctify you people as should ensue? Because for you they are for farm's sake; you do not make Ihemfru itfitl by paying attention la My Words. Worse yet, you stifle My Words that I send from cm High, from Heaven, to rebuke and enlighten you, smothering them with lukewarmness, hypocrisy and more or less serious sin. "You do not love Me: that's the problem. To love does not mean an occasional superficial visit of worldly courtesy. To love means to fit* with the soul united and fused with, and kindled by, the one and only fire that nourishes another soul. Then in the fusion, understanding also comes about. "1 speak no Longer from afar, from on High in the heavens. 1. and with Me the Father and the Spirit because We are one single thing, I settle in the heart that loves Mf*’ and My words arc ffo longer a whisper but full Voice, no longer now and then but uninterrupted- Then I am really the 'Master /1 am the One who Iwenty centuries ago tirelessly spoke to the crowds and who now finds His delight in speaking to His favorites who know flow to listen to Him and of whom I make My waterways of grace. "How much Life 1 give to you people! True Life, holy Life, eternal Life, joyful Life by means of My uxtrds which are tite father's words and the Spirit's love. Yes., how in truth 1 give the tivercomer' to eat the fruit of the tree of life. I give it to you starting on this earth with My spiritual doctrine which I come hrrcJt to bring among people so that not all should perish , 1 give it to you in the rieif life until My being among you forever.

"I am the Way, the Truth, the Life.** Outside of Me there is no other way, truth and life. Those who overcome all obstacles to follow Me will become pillars of My temple. Through the Word they kept and put in practice, after being saved in the frightful hour of trial from the temptation that kills, they will have a seat on My own throne, together with the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit," 27. A void in the mystical forest A-list 19, 1943 _ Complete dictation^ _ Q43;144-145 Jesus further says: ■'The world is perishing because it has not kept My Wford, Ihxmus? it has neglected it and scoffed at it.

Those who despite the honor can recognize that God is always God, in other words Goodness and justice, and that salvation is found in following God's Law, set themselves apart from those who deny these truths.

Blessed are those who shall have rejected Satan and his enticements and not have been anxiety-ridden about his apparent triumphs, his efforts launched at this hour, which he knows to be brief for his reign of malediction. Blessed are those who will remain faithful to Christ and His Church, dismem¬ bered by antichrlstian persecution: the Church, unconquerable martyr like the Great Martyr her Spouse, the Crucified Christ; the Church, rising again more beautiful, after her apparent death, to come glorified into Heaven, where the true Pontiff awaits her to celebrate the wedding." 45 31.

"The first beast, coming out of the sea, who with the voice of blasphemy makes the dupes proclaim: 'Who is like the beast?',” corresponds to Michael, beaten and wounded by Michael in the battle between the hosts of God and of Lucifer at the beginning of time and healed by Satan, the first beast hates Michael to the death and loves Satan—if one can speak of love between demons; better to say he is absolutely subject to Satan, "Staunch minister of his cursed king, he uses his intelli¬ gence to harm the human race, creation of God, and to serve his master. Power without end or measure he wields to per¬ suade people to strike out from themselves My sign,which fills with horror the spirits of darkness. Once My sign has been taken away {by sin which takes away grace, the luminous chrism of your being) the Beast can approach people to lead them to adore him as if he were a god/ 1 and serve him in crime. "If people only reflected to what subjection they hand themselves over when, they espouse sin, they would not sin. But people do not think. They look at the fleeting moment and its joy, and worse than Esau they barter their divine generation for a plate of lentils,* "Nevertheless, Satan does not make use only of this violent seducer of mankind. However little people do reflect, usually there are still too many who, not out of love, but out of fear of punishment do not want to sin mortally, and so behold the other Satanic minister, the second beast " Beneath lamb's cloth¬ ing he has a dragon's spirit. 46 "He is the second manifestation of Satan and he corre¬ sponds to Gabriel, because he announces the Beast and is its stronger power: he is the one that dismantles without being noliecti tml jvrsuades wif/i false sweetness that rf is right to follow the footsteps of the Beast.

"The first scourge is the ulcer "Ever since Moses' times J have punished with Loathsome diseases the creatures who commit unforgivable sins against +B s to M iryam, Moses' sister, had her body covered with leprosy ini having ill-spoken of My servant Moses.* 1 Why should r'l Hr same and worse yet happen to those who speak ili of their (k»d?

I tell you, [Maria,| certain animals used to be called unclean,™ but human beings have already outdone them and will outdo them more and rrrowand if a new animal could be made by crossing monkeys with snakes and with swine, it would still he less unclean than certain peoples whose apjnwranees are human but whose inner selves are nme indecent and more repulsive than lhe filthiest animals. "As 1 have told you, [Maria,] mankind is splitting wider ,md wider apart. The spiritual part, scanty to the utmost, is ascend¬ ing. The sensual pari , extremely large, is sinking. It is sinking into a ghastly depth of vice. When the time of wrath has come, mankind will have reached the ultimate in vice. '• And you expect that their dead souls' inner stench would not seep out and corrupt their flesh, which they worship more than Me and use for all forms of debasement? And as you people will bring about the ulcers, so you will fill with blood the sea and the rivers' waters. You are already filling them with your bloodbaths, and the creatures living in die waters are dwindling, killed by you, which contributes to your hunger. You have trampled SO much upon the gifls God gave you for your material needs, that land, sky and waters are becoming your enemies and withhold from you the fruits of the land and the creatures that dwell in waters, rivers, forests and air. "You murder, you do murder, you trample on the law of Love and forgiveness, you spill brotherly blood and especially the blood of the good, luhowr you persecute precisely because they are good, Take care , though, so that opw day God rrwy not rrwteyflj 49 satisfy your hunger and quench your thirst with the blood you have spitted, at odds with My order of peace and charity.

You will be so perverted as to mistakefar heavenly marvels that which is heil's invention. "Maria, I will now take you by the hand to lead you in the most obscure point of John's book- Commentators of John's book have exhausted their intelligence in many deductions to explain to themselves and to the crowds what the 'great Babylon’ may be» With human sight, with which the shocks due to desired events or events having taken place had some¬ thing to do, they gave the name of Babylon to many things. "But why have they never thought that the 'great Babylon' is the whole earth? I would be a really small and limited God the Creator had 1 created only the Earth as an inhabited world! With one pulsation of My will, I gave rise to worlds upon worlds from nothingness and hurled them, like luminous fine dust, into the hugeness of heaven's vault.

When He says "Earth" 53 [with a capital EJ He meatis, I will pul it this way, corporate entity,'" and when Ho says "earth" [with a small c| He simply moans a planet made up of clods, mountains, water. The first is guilty, the second, innocent. This is why He can say without Contradicting Himself that the martyrs' blood became a poison for the Earth that drank it (in its earthlings) with sacrilegious wrath and spilled it (in its government powers) with a blasphemous abuse of temporal power; whereas the earth-globe, rotating in outer space, re¬ spectfully drank the martyrs' blood and lovingly welcomed their dying convulsions, and presents both to the Everlasting One, asking, maternal and compassionate, that they should not have been spilled or Suffered for nothing and that justice be done to them. 33. The two resurrections The fol tawing ratrocl shows Ihe vjtaJ link between Ihe Fftd Timra and the particular judgment. Just a* the End Times lead Il> the physical end of the world and the genera I judgment, so our personal lives come to a bodily end and the particular j ud^inent. August 22,1943 Complete dictation_Q43:16I-162 Jesus says: "Before end ing this cycle, someth ing needs to be said about the two resurrections, "The first 1 " begins when the soul is separated from the body and appears before Me in the particular judgement. Cut it is only a partial resurrection. Rather than a resurrection one could say a release of the spirit from the envelope of the flesh, and the spirit's wail until il is reunited to the flesh to rebuild the living temple created by the Father, the temple of the human being created in God's image and likeness. "A work with a piece missing is incomplete and therefore imperfect. The human being, a perfect work in its creation, is incomplete and imperfect if it is not reunited in its various parts. Destined to the luminous Kingdom or to the murky abode, human beings must be forever in these |heaven or hell] with their perfection of flesh and spirit. 54 "Therefore, one can speak of a first and of a second resutrre- n un. Hut consider. "The one who has killed his spirit with an earthly life of sin comes to Me, in the particular judgement, wilh a spirit already dead. The final resurrection will bring about that fiis flesh takes up again ike weight of the dead spirit lo die with it utterly. Whereas tlie one who has overcome the flesh in his earthly life comes to me, in the particular judgment, with a living spirit which, as it enters Heaven, increases its life. "Those in purgatory too are alive; ill, but alive. Having recovered through expiation, they will enter the place which is Life. At the final resurrection their spirits, alive with My Life to which they will be indissolubly united, take up the flesh again to make if glorious ami lo live with it completely, just as I five wilh it. "That is why one can speak of a first and of a second tfcalfi 11 ® and, consequently, of a first and a second resurrection. The latter iji eternal possession of Light—because in Heaven you possess Cod, and God is Light, Individuals must reach it of their own free wilts, just as of their own free wills they wonted to lose Light and Paradise. I give you the. help you need, but the witi must be yours. "I am faithful. I have created you free and leave you free. And if you think how worthy of admiration God's respect for human free will is, you can understand how duty-bound you are not to misuse it by doing eDil with it, and how duty-bound you lire to have respect, gratefulness and love for the Lord your i ^ h1, .

J 'We are no w i n the period which I cal I that of theiformat tiers of the Antichrist* Then it will be the period of the Antichrist who is the forerunner of Satan, The Antichrist will be assisted by Satan's manifestations: the two beasts spoken of Ln the Apoca¬ lypse. ft will be a period worse than the current one. Evil increases more and more. Once the Antichrist is beaten, the period of peace will come to give mankind—struck by the wonder of the seven scourges and the fall of Babylon—time to gather under My sign, The antichristian. age will rise to its utmost violence in its third manifestation, in other tsftcn it is the tost taming of Satan. "Do you people understand? You must believe, not split hairs. Truly, Maria, you did understand, precisely because you don't split hairs. The dictations do not contradict one another. One must know how to read them with faith and simplicity of heart. "Like someone who cares to let someone else grasp some¬ thing, I always go straight to the most important thing, which here is My Kingdom. Because in My Kingdom there is the justification for My having become flesh and having died. Because in My Kingdom tliere is the proof of My infinite power, goodness, wisdom. Because in My Kingdom there is the proof of eternal life, of the resurrection of the flesh, of My authority as Judge, Consequently, when I spoke to explain ihe Apoca- lypse, the individual points 1 expounded were nearly always crowned with My Judgment, My triumph, My Kingdom, and Satan's defeat in himself, in his favorite, in his forerunners.

"It is not in the sense in which you understand it. The hour of pence and forgiveness shall come for you Italians too. The hour shall come when you return to contract an alliance with the Lord after having been in the hands of Satan who threw you about as though you were a hank of yam in the hands of a raving lunatic. But Joel's words (ch.2,w. 18-32) were not said especially for this or that nation. "T7ie words are meant for My people, for I he people of the One and Only, True , Great King, of the Lord your God, One and Triune, Creator and Redeemer of Ihe human race. That period of weil"being of which Joel spoke is Ihe anticipated anturuncement of what a long lime afterwards fohrt spoke about in his Apocalypse. "After the dreadful wars which Satan will have brought to the Earth through his Messenger of darkness, the Antichrist, the period of truce will come. During this rime, after having shown you with the blond-shedding trial what kind of gifts Satan can give, 1 will try to draw all of you to Me by showering you with My gifts. "Ohl My gifts! They will be your delight! You will not experience hunger, slaughters, disasters. Your bodies attd more so your souls will be fed by My fojncf, Earth will seem to spring from a sertwrd cnsntibiT, wholly renewed in the sentiments of pence and goodwill among the nations, and of peace between Heaven and Earth , 58 It* iiwse I will Itave My Spirit food oitfr you and penetrate into you mill jfiw you tiie supernatural sight of God's decrees.

II is the eternal Kingdom which wilt turn ait of yew in to riernsd dwellers of tite Heavens, because, naturally I am speaking to those who are My Subjects and not to the reprobates who already have their ghastly king: Satan. "Your Cod will work all the miracles to draw to Himself the greatest number of living, because [ am God of Mercy, of forgiveness and of a love so infinite that however much you could seek lu understand its measure you cannot. What you think is the infinity of My love for all of you, is like a tiny pebble on the bank of a brook compared to a whole mountain range whose feet divide the continents and whose peaks are swathed in clouds, ■' "But do you think, Maria, that so many miracles of Love and so many lights from the Spirit will convert people to their eternal God? Undeceive yourself. If I cared for poor animals without reason as I will for you for your bodily needs, if I did only that and no more, these animals with their shapeless languages would praise Me from dawn to dusk, and if they knew where to find Me they would leave all the parts of the globe to come and give thanks to their beneficent Defender. But people won't. "Almost alt of them will be absolutely deaf to the spiritual voices and gifts, and almost stone-deaf to the bodily gifts. Instead of acknowledging My Goodness a nd loving Me out (jfgratefttlness, tiny will avail themsetves of the well-being I shall give them to sirtfr tower and lower into Ihe abyss they like. There, like unclean lnwasts in muddy soil, they wailow and wail for what seduces nine tcntJu of humanity: lust, lewdtiesSrfraud, violence, theft, heresy, supersl it iott and other sensual and spiritual corruptions, which are so hideous that their existence seems impossible lo hones! people, but they do exist and make the Heavens blush and Our Divinity stir with an indignant gesture. "Neither the paternal lavishing of gifts nor the terrifying signs lit the shy will be aide to (urn those living tn ftoif time into children of God. And then My great attd terrible day will came. "Not a twenty-four-hour day , My time is measured differently, U k called 'day' because it come s about in the daytime, and I will act during that time , I will carry out the last sorting-out of those living on the earth, And this will take place during the last unleashing of Satan. "Then if will be seen who has the Kingdom of God within and who has the kingdom of Satan within. Because the falter with their mouths, their acts, and above all their blasphemous hearts will hurl the last insults against My Law and perform the iast sacrileges against God, whereas the first, the Lord's children and subjects — while the iast battle strikes Earth with unspeakable horror—they will cling to My Cross , will call upon My saving Name ; and My canting as fudge will not terrify them , in fact it will be their jubilee because the faithful are those saved, those whom Joel calk the Lord's remnant, in other words those who remain the Lord's after Satan '$ plunder. "Blessed, blessed, blessed forever these children of Mine. Theirs is eternal Heaven. United to the Lord's faithful of all times, they will possess God, whose possession is eternal bliss." 38. Humanness; a fleeting phase of life September 22,1943_Erir«i_Q43:3$6-3S9 Jesus says: "Storms upsetting a lake do not abate all at once. Above al l, when abating they do not give back to the waters their former look immediately. Cloudiness remains for a while, spoiling the waters' color and clearness, and only when the waves have been totally calmed, even deep down, does the water clear up and turn blue and serene li ke the sky. The same holds true when hatred falls with its infernal wind into a heart. It takes time for the soul to be cleansed from its antichrist]an poison * "Mind you, Maria, I understand that as a result of certain grievous agents it is human that hatred should arise. Buf you 60 are not h umatis only. In foci h umanness is but a feeling phase ofyou r tiers, white what experiences no dtortness is the superhuman. For you exist from the moment you are created by the Father and you will always exist, in light or in darkness, depending on your behavior on earth—not only until the end of the world bu t for endless eternity, "Earth! The long, ten and ten and ten times millennial life of Christian earth and the seven times millennial life of Earth, planet created by the Father—what is that in My time? A mere twinkling of an eye in eternity." 39- A reminder on the Spirit October 16,1943 _ Extract Q43;456 Jesus says: "Everything you own on earth is something that dies with the flesh. You cannot take anything into the next life. But the spirit remains, in fact the spirit goes before you. It is the spirit that appears before the Judge and receives the first sentence. It is the spirit that will rouse the flesh at the hour of the last Judg¬ ment and quicken it to hear the decree that shall make them happy together or cursed together. 112 The flesh will experience centuries or moments of death before its resurrection, but the spirit experiences only one death and from it, it does not rise again." 40.

Don't, it makes you doubly guilty You have worshipped the caif which you thought was gold but was only golden dust . You have served the forerunners of the Beast. The Beast is giving you the fruits of its shadowy kingdom: death, ruin, wretchedness, hunger, shame, slavery, collapse of the faith, of freedom, of honor. And if yon do not cling to the Cross, your last salvation, you will go so far as lo imitate wild toasts made furious bif hunger and angeri you will tear each other fy pjners and will think \fou can gorge yimrselves by killing God's servants.

"Can't you hear within your consciences Cod's Voice call¬ ing loudly? Don't you hear it thundering across the sky calling you once more to save you? No you don't. And the bad thing in this evil is that not even those who should be used to hearing it and recognizing it can hear it anymore. They wear conse¬ crated clothes and have deconsecrated hearts.

()rtober 3&, 1943_Ealracb_Q43-5W-5CI5 Jesus says: "Now I tell you: Behold, I Myself shall become their Shep¬ herd- 1 will come to gather My sheep. I will gather them in My grazing lands away from the fog of the senseless and harmful teachings which give the deadly fevers of the spirit. I will separate My sheep, in fact they will separate themselves fmin 63 the Little goals and from the rams, because the/ will hear the Voice that loves them, they will hear it no longer like now, through My servants: it will gush out like a river of Life from the mouth of the Word come back to take possession of His Kingdom, "I will compassionately gather My sheep, even those whom your neglect has ruined. Away, away from My flock the wolves in sheep's clothing! Away, the lazy shepherds! Away, those grasping for riches and pleasure! Whoever follows Me must love what is pure and honest. Whoever follows Me must have charity for the brothers and sisters and not get fat while leaving toothers the pittance of dirty trampled grass and water clouded by human plots. And this holds good also for those in lay congregations who aspire only to the positions that stir up their vainglory. Doom with pride, if you want to be my lambs, down with hardness of heart They are the sharp horns with which yen wound and drive back the meek and oppress the weak. "When I have cleansed the flock from what is deceitful and impure, in My period as King of Peace, 1 will teach those who remained for the last instruction. They will know Me as now only the elect know Me, There will not be twelve, but twelve thousand times twelve thousand creatures called to know the King, Heresies and wars will vanish. Light and Peace will be thesun of the Earth, They will feed on the live seed of My Word and they will no longer be pining away from spiritual hunger. They will worship Me in spirit and truth, "When Satan's last revolt against God takes place, the last judases will not be missing among those called to know the King. The gold of the eternal City must be refined by three purifying actions to be able to become a censer before the throne of the glorious Lamb. And this will be the last purifying action. The 'faithful' will remain faithful, and will know that I am with them and that they are My eternal people. "Still, from now on, O My beloved ones and you soul of Mine who love Me and whom [ love, I want all of you to know that even before I come to gather My flock to bring it to the everlasting grazing Lands of Heaven, you are My dearly loved lambs. You will enter My Kingdom before the others because you are My Hock and I am the Lord your God, your Shepherd 64 who takes His delight among you and calls you to His dwelling to live with you in the Peace reserved for those faithful to Christ." 44, The signs of the Second Coming; Yet more on the short period of peace In the following passage it is good lobear Ifimind that a 'day' for the Lord i* not rtiKtssjj'ily An earthly 24-hou.rday; likewise an r eve r for Him could be some length of lime before a given 'day/ t Metier 29,1943_Complete dictation_043:506-61 L Jesus says: "When I put in Zephaniah's mouth that 1 will take away every thing from the earth, 1 am having him prophesy what will li .sp pen the day before the eve of the last time. L then announced I he same thing when I spoke about the destruction of the world, veiled behind the description of the ruin of the Temple and of lerusalem. Later the Beloved prophesied it again in his Apoc- ,ilypse. m The voices follow each other. In fact 1 can say that, as in a sacred building erected to testify the glory of the Lord, the voices climb from pinnacle to pinnacle, from prophet to prophet previous to Christ, until the highest point on which the Word speaks during His human life, and then they climb down from pinnacle to pinnacle, over the centuries, speaking through the prophets after Christ. "It is like a concert which sings the praises, the will, the glories of the Lord, and which shall last until the end-Then the angels' trumpets shall gather the dead of the tombs and the dead of the spirit, the living of the earth and the living of Heaven. AIL will prostrate themselves before the Lord's visible glory and hear the words of the Word of God—that Word whom countless have rejected or neglected, disobeyed, sneered at, scorned, that Word who came; Light in the world, .ind whom the world did not want to welcome, preferring darkness. 111 "1 am the peak of God's building. There can be no words loftier and truer than Mine. But My Spirit is in the mouths of the lessee * Words/ because everything t^s-tifyirtg what is of God, is a word inspired by God. "Famine and deaths due h> epidemics will be one of the forerunning signs of My second coming. These chastisements designed to punish you and call you back to God will carryout, with their distressing power, one of the sortings-out between the children of God and Satan's children. "'Hunger will arise from plunder and cursed wars, decreed without the justification of national independence, decreed only out of power's savagery and the pride of demons in human guise.

"The churches are emptying, there are no worshippers at the altars, the mystical Bread is not sought after, the threefold virtues, as well as the cardinal virtues, are weakening or haw died- There are anger and chaotic effort to seek safety. There is scorn, much scorn, for the children of the Light, worse than scorn: the enemy crave for oppression to blow out that Light which they find loathsome. But the more they scorn you and crush you, O dear children who are Mv light brought to man¬ kind, die more this poor world will fall into darkness- TtfCnm? and other crimes will be a wall and a barrier against the Light.

"That sign is Me.

I said it through My saints and I had My Mother say it. For decades I have been repeating this, and for decades you have kept on doing that-1 have told you with pressing words in these end times. But you have not changed. In fact you have turned fornication with Satan more and more into your lifestyles. "You have placed everything before God, And this God whom you call upon at the hour of fear is for you a Being so faraway, unknown, that were you consistent you should no longer call upon Him or blaspheme Him, since you have drawn away from Him so much. Even your invocations are blasphe¬ mies, because you call Him with filthy dirty lips, because you call upon Him while you ate still united to Satan, because you dare mix His holy Name with your criminal schemes. "Peace was promised to people of good will. 111 Christ came to bring Peace. But if you drive out Christ and if your will is not good, how can you have peace? You have respites. But these are only pauses between one slaughter and the other, to give your spirits sold to Satan time to learn from him new death¬ dealing theories and new tools of destruction. "Death to souls and death to flesh. Destruction of spirits and destruction of things. Your growth in Satan is shocking. 74 Soon you will reach the fullness of age in which he has nothing more to teach you, and then Hell will be able to farrow its son, the Antichrist, because the times will be ripe and mankind will have deserved to experience the horror that comes before the end." 50.

"I already told you , 1K My Church will have its hosanna day before its last passion. Then the everlasting triumph will come, "At that time the whole world will know the Church of Rome, because the Gospel will resound from the poles to the equator and the Word will go from one side of the globe to the other, like a belt of love. Catholics, leaving behind the terribly savage struggle of which this one 116 is but the prelude, weary of murdering one another and of following ruthless rulers, will turn from the unquenchable thirst to kill and the insurmount¬ able violence, turning towards the triumphant Cross, found again after they had been so blind. Above such a great roar of havoc and so much blood, they shall hear the Voice that loves and forgives and they shall see the Light, whiter than the lily, which comes down from the Heavens to train them for the Heavens. "Like a march of millions and millions of tribes, people will go towards Christ with their spirits and will put their trust in Eftrffc's only bring in whom there is no craving for oppression or longing for revenge "Tt will bo Rome that speaks. But not the more or less great, more or less lastingly great Rome which rabble rouserscan win, It will be the Rome of Christ. The one that conquered the Caesars, conquering them without weapons, without battles, with one force only, love; with one weapon only, the Cross? with one rhetoric only, prayer. It will be the Rome of the great Pontiffs which, in a world darkened by barbarian invasions and dazed by their destructions, was able to preserve civiliza¬ tion and to spread it among the uncivilized- It will be the Rome that stood up to arrogant men and through its holy, \fenerable Old Men was able to stand for the weak and sting with a Spiritual punishment even those who appeared to be immune to any remorse. "You cannot, you dissimilar nations, reach lasting agree¬ ments among yourselves. All of you have the same yearnings and the same needs, and like the pans of a scale, the weight of one nation's good share is detrimental to the other. You live in order to always have the better share and you kill one another for it. It is an up-and-down situation which is getting worse and worse- "Listen to the voice of someone who has no craving for power but wants to rule in the name of his Most Holy King, only on you r spirits. The day is coming when, disil lusioned with men, you will turn to the one who is already more a spirit than a man and who keeps just enough humanity to convince you of his presence. His mculi i r which f inspire, will speak iwrds like those S would tell ytfi i, I, Prince of Peace. He will teach you to infinitely precious pearl of mutual forgiveness. He will convince you that there is no weapon more- beautiful than Site ploughshare, which wounds the clods to make them fertile, and to sq/the, which Cuts the grass lo make it more beautiful. He will teach you that the holiest work is the one done to give the brothers and sisters a loaf of bread, a garment, a house, and that only fry Unnng one another as brothers and sisters can you no longer experience the poison of hatred and the tortures of war. "My children, set out on your march towards the Lord's Light. Do not pass by, groping in the gloomy darkness. You, My beloved ones, set out at the head, overcoming every human fear because I am with you, O those dearest to My Heart. You, the others, be won over by the example of My saints. All of you, My children, set out on this new Exodus towards the new Earth which I promise to yew and which will Ik your very Earth , lirau^h changed by Christian love. "Separate from those who are idolaters of Satan, of the world and of the flesh. Without scorn, leave them. Scorn does no good: it uselessly wrecks. But separate from them to avoid being contaminated by them. Love them with tlx love of redeemers, putting between you and them your faith in Christ as a bulwark, You are not strong enough to be able to live in their midst without danger. Too many centuries of increasingly bad spiritual decay have weakened you. Imitate the early Christians. Learn to live in to world but set apart from to workthy virtue of your love for God. "And never be inclined to consider us a sutwrman the wretch who is not unlike the beasts because dike them, his best part resides entirely in his instincts —the only thing that does not make him worse than a beast- The Prophet says: 'Cease therefore from the man whose breath Is in his nostrils/ 117 1 want all of you to interpret these words as follows. ''The animal without breath is but a loathsome corpse. Its only life is in its breath. Once its nostrils are shut to this breath, it ceases to exist and becomes a rotting carcass. There are many human beings no better than animals, jin# they have no life frd the animal life which lasts as long as breath remains in them. Their spirits are dead, those spirits made for She Heavens, It is therefore right to say that there are human beings whose souls are the breath of their nostrils and from whom it is best to remain spiritually far, so that the breath of Satan and beastliness which comes out of them, may not undermine your humanity and make it like theirs. "Pray for them, O you blessed ones. That is cha ri ty, and that is enough. Words do not enter those closed to the Word. And do not consider as outstanding those who exhale and puff their arrogance and pride from their nostrils Like mad wild beasts. The only outstanding people ate toist who have living spirits and are therefore God's children. Others are poor things whose sham 76 77 nubility is doomed to a great fall and whose memories do not live on except as the memories of scandal and honor."' 51.

Those living outside the spirit will lie idle in their darkness waiting to be troops for the Prince of Evil- Those Living in the spirit will come in the retinue of the holy Son of Clod, the Scion of the Lord, loved and blessed by people in grace, who will understand then what is nowadays understood by few elect and they will Know what My glory is and what theirs as children of God is- H T will gather My saints because a suwf is ^burwr femes Me andfolimvs Me obediently umi faithfully. 1 will gather them from the four comers of the Earth.

And these who will be saved shall be few, because after centu¬ ries upon centuries of My love for mankind, mankind has not teamed to love. "Cut no one will be able to accuse Me if one is damned. 116 And what more could I have done for you, O children of God who preferred to wander far away from the Father's house and at times sell your divine sonhood and daughterhood to God's Enemy? Do notsay that I, powerful, could have prevented Evil from laying snares for you and could have made you good by My authority. Jn that case you would have been less deserving than a blade of grass which the foot tramples without feeling it because grass sprouts from the seed thus obeying God's decree- It sprouts and grows by itself. And it does not get the slightest share of those attentions that you get from the Most High. The stalk gets sun and dew from God and a clod of dirt. You have intelligence to cond net you rsdm, Grace to enlighten you, the Law to control yourselves, you have Me as Master, My Blood for salvation. "I have given you everything and you have given Me so little, less and loss in fact! With God's patience I have looked after you and you have always revolted against Me. The less guilty have always beet r sluggards. You have always been worried of doing f on much for your God who has done everything for you. "That is why chastisements come upon you.

"For this reason 1 tell you: 'Come to God, call on God with truthfulness of thoughts and of heart, and God will show Himself on the blood-stained horizon and Satan the torturer shall flee, leaving you free.' "But you, you do not call on God. You are content thinking about turning the common evil into your individual good: increasing your wealth, obtaining by trickery greater and greater powers, enjoying and enjoying- You do not care about those who suffer—the best among you. You care even less about God. In fact you rise to defiance, daring to call on Him, O blasphemers, to ratify your Satanic actions and thoughts. You challenge Him to show Himself because you tell one another: There is no God. We are God.' Onto your cursed tongues and your sold souls Satan is already heaping up Hell's embers and I Myself kindle them with My rag$- "Icurse you from now On, Spates in human guise.' Yes, you hold My saints' excommunications and My good people's loathing as sparrow feathers that do not hurt if they fall on your backs— because you own hea rts of granite.

Therefore it is not incorrect to say about Satan's forerun¬ ners what Isaiah says in his fourteenth chapter, verses 12-15. "Didn't those I call the forerunners of Evil want to imitate their master and father in their trying to declare themselves gods and oppressing the crowds? Haven't they talked about God with a shameful condescending attitude as if they were supergods? Haven't they usurped the rigjit to command what is most sacred, what even God respects in human beings? They dared to give or take away not only permission to live, but even that to think. 41 1 gave human beings free thought because every thing God gave you is free from constrictions of any kind. It would have been freer, because not even the flesh would have hindered that freedom, had the flesh first remained free from the slavery of sin. Now thought is infringed upon by these supeigod s of mud and of horror. They do nor demand obedience to holy laws of love such as those I Lovingly enjoin on you without forcing you to keep them. They enforce harsh obligations which enslave you worse than oxen with yoke-crushed necks and nostrils wounded by constricting rings. They impose them on your whole being, and not one of your three intrinsic characters— physical, moral, spiritual—is exempt from that slavery. "Yes, even the spiritual. The giant squids of the ruling Evil slip through and stretch even towards your spirits, and as they please they want or do not want them to turn to God or to His Law, Their spite as Satan's children bursts into fierce persecu¬ tions. but even when they do not drop the human masks hiding their infernal serpents' heads and come to the point of great persecutions, they use shrewd tricks, they crumble the frame¬ work of the faith, they introduce lifestyles tending to replace £6 U7 religion with paganism and entangling your spirits to throttle them. "And you do not always have the strength to remain faith' till, because you have spirits not fed on love and Gospel- Yon bend to human slaveries, you who consider obeying God's commandments to be unworthy of human beings- And for a man or several men you lose God's most beautiful gift: free will.

It will receive in Heaven an infinite reward, and even on earth a great reward, not understandable except by the one experiencing it.

Jesus says: "Daniel is the one who has the same tone as John, and John is the one who receives and amplifies Daniel's starting note. This is why, Little John, 190 you like him so much, "Like a fish in a clear fishpond, [Maria,] you are happy when you move in the atmosphere of your Christ, who will have His supreme triumph at the hour when Satan and his son and his fawners have been made forever powerless. And in Daniel you find this atmosphere. Isaiah is the pre-Evangelisl who speaks of My coming into the world for the salvation of the world, 191 Daniel is the p re-Apostle, the pre-John who fore¬ tells the glories of My eternal triumph as King of the imperish¬ able Jerusalem. "Now see bow the signs of the diabolical ministers of the Apocalypse 1 * 4 are anticipated in the four beasts described by Daniel. 1 ” CommcnLators have striven to give these four mon¬ sters a historical, human meaning, but it is necessary to gaze much further ahead, and much further above. Wfatn you people meditate 114 115 the holy books, arise from the earth, break anxty from the jiresent mOTftent, gaze into the future and into the supernatural There is tfie key to Hie mystery. "The four beasts are the four errors tliat will come itrfbre the end, Ihe four errors that will be four horrors for mankind and wilt beget the final Horror. "Human beings were demigods by Grace and by Faith, Like eagles and lions* the} 7 knew' how to assail and crush the dangers of the senses and lift themselves to range in God's dimes- There the soul is joined in supernatural wedlock to the Lord in swift, frequent unions of fervor. From those the soul comes down to earth refreshed every time in strength, joy and charity which it pours out onto the brothers and sisters. Then the soul hurls itself again, even more impetuously, towards God, because every union is an increase of perfection which is fulfilled when the joining become* eternal in My Heaven. " Atheism tore off the eagles' wings and the demigods' hearts from people, and turned them into animals walking on mud and carrying over the mud and mudwards their heavy hearts all flesh and blood, People cany loads heavier than lead in their egos bereft of the spiritual wings of the spirit, weights that bend them, stretch them, cast them, down into the tnud, "People were demigods on account of Charity' living in them, By loving God and His Law, which is a law of Charity, they possessed God, and with God Peace, which is a main attribute of God, and with peace much universal and individ¬ ual good. "People rejected God's Law to adopt many other teachings- But none was or is from Gad and so true Charily is in none of them, Therefore people, who by embracing atheism had changed from eagles and lions into mere human beings, by infernal witchcraft bred themselves into bears , wild devour&rs of their fellowcreatures. "But horror leads to horror. Horror escalates. It gets worse and worse because in their cursed unions with Satan, people— whom Qirisl had brought back to their nature of demigods— beget increasingly monstrous monsters. And these are the offspring of their error, as people sell themselves to Satan to have his earthly help. "From the dtfmijjfld human there came the from the human, the bear, from the bear, the new monster, blood-thirsty and treacherous like the leopard, endowed by Satan with many wings to be swifter in its harming. I told you people 394 that Satan apes God, So he too wanted to give wings to 'his' creature, to Faithless, Godless mankind, by f hen Satan's enuture. He gave it no eagle's wings, but vampire's wings so that it might be its own incubus and bo quick in its rushing to fallen parts of itself, victims of itself, to suck their blood. "I, mystical pelican, have opened My heart to give you My blood. Satan turns people, lo whom I gave My blood, into vampires that sudkpart of themselves and deal death to them¬ selves in torment, "Doesn't it sound like an incubus legend? On the contrary it is your reality, ft is not a mythical monster, Vou are the ones who, diabolically hungry, devour parts of yourselves, slashing each other's veins, maiming one another and then producing new parts while devouring the parts already formed, stead¬ fastly with something maniacal about it, something of a dia¬ bolical maniac, "Deliberate extremist power enfbrved nil the way to crime , is the third Since it is a /ojthijm power, sold out to Sntor to be more and more powerful, against every divine and moral law, it far rows rte iTKiHsfprcatted RenrtfufaTm: tute'r/t, by its nature, carries in f.lteprotru¬ sions of its monstrosity aii the ugliest horrors of revolutions, the social shipwreck of Good and Faith. "Honesty, respect, morality, religion, freedom and good¬ ness die when this monster breathes onto a nation its infernal breath. Litre a pestilential emanation its breath spreads beyond the bonders, infecting by itself peoples upon peoples, until it infects the whole world, On the scraps of the victims which it killed and tore to pieces, and on the ruins of the nations reduced to rubble, it is preparing the cradle for the final monster: the Antichrist. "1 told you people 195 that he will be the hoo of mankind's lust, bom from lust's union with the Beast. I told you- f not change in what I .say. What I say is true , I know it without needing to read it, I remember it without needing to reread it. ii is written in My divine mind before which all human events 116 117 throughout time. unceasingly pass by, me above, the otiier, without one hindering the vision of the other. "The Antichrist will be perfection of Horror as I was per¬ fection of Perfection, With his countless weapons, symbolized by his fen hemp, by his iron-toothed jaws, by his ferocious feet and finally by his small horn, he will torment beyond measure those who, small faithful flock, remain My f t>1 Sowers. The small hom [also] symbolizes the extreme malice with which Satan will endow his son to intoxicate mankind wriule seducing it with his lying mouth, having himself worshipped as a gpd. Hour by hour the Antichrist's small horn shall grow in order to harm, his satanic intelligence shall grow to put infos mouth the most disturbing falsehoods, and he will grow in power as L grew in wisdom and grace, 1 ™ armed as he will be with eyes to read the thoughts of holy people and kill them for those thoughts. "Oht My end-time saints’ If the living of the earliest saints amidst paganism's persecutions was heroic, the living of My last saints will be three times, sown times, seven times seven times heroic, Only those fed on the marrow of Faith will be able to have Lions' hearts to face those torments, and eagW eyes and wings to state at Me-Sun and fly to Me-Truth, while darkness overwhelms them on alt sides and Falsehood seek* to persuade them to worship it and believe in it. "After the forerunners of the Antichrist, the Antichrist himself will come. The antichristian period is symbolized by the Beast annod with fen horns, Satan's ten sltrfJtfs, who consider themselves CI luce of these —note well —will bo torn off and cast into nothingness, namely into the abyss where Cod is not and so where AWftfogfless is, the opposite of God who is Eitfrythbig.) The antichristian period will dimax in the birth and growth, until its greatest power, of the eleventh hom, the reason for the fall of its three forerunners, and E he seal of the real A ntichrist , The Antichrist will blaspheme God as no son of man has ever done. He will ride roughshod over Cod's saints and torture Christ's Church. I le will think, because hois son of [the union of J demoniac pride with human lust, tlut he can do great things, changing the times and the laws/ and for three and a half years he will be Horror ruling over the world. "Then the Father will say; ’Enough' in front of the great chorus which sludl be made in Heaven by Llic ‘noiseof the great words' of the sainfe; and die wicked beast shall be killed and thrown into the shaft of the abyss and with it all the lesser beasts to remain there with Satan, their breeder, for eternity. "I shall then bo called by the Father to 'judge the living and the dead' in accordance with what is said in the Symbol of the Faith. And the 'Jiving,' those who have kept life within them by having kept Grace and Faith alive, shall inherit 'the king¬ dom, the power and the majesty of God.' The dead of the spirit shall have never-ending Death in accordance with what their will chose to have. "And there shall no longer be Earth and carnal human beings. But there shal 1 be on Ey 'ch ild ren of God/ creatu res free from every sorrow, and there shall no longer be sin, and there shall no longer be darkness, and there shall no longer be fear. But only joy, joy, immense, everlasting joy inconceivable to human beings. Joy to see God, to possess Him, to understand I lis thoughts and His love. "Come, O people, to the Fount of life. I open its spring for you. Draw from it, strengthen yourselves in it to be fearless in the trials and to manage to dive wholly Inio it, into Me, the spring of bliss, in Heaven, lfos beautiful Heaven was created by My Father for you. There you are awaited by the threefold Love of the One God and by the Purity of 'our' Mother, and by those who, for having been faithful, have already obtained Life." 6$. priests vs. the Antichrist Since priests havu a role Lo p]ay In postponing Lhe 1 jmenc Lhe Antichrist in (hating hijn when he does manifest himself, their faults have fairibLe cepCM:?a^ii>nSu.

January 27,1M4 _ Extracts _ Q44:lQ7jl09-112 Jesus says; "This is a. page &ad to dictate, to write, and to read. But it is the truth and must be told. Write. It is for the priests- 118 119 f have called you 'shepherds.'” 7 1 called you neither Toners' nor 'captains/ The Inner lives by himself. The captain marches at the head of hi& men. But the 'shepherd'is in the. middle of hie flock and twitches over it. He does not keep to himself because the flock would scatter. He does not walk at the head because the heedless sheep nr the flock would wander from the wap and he prey to tiaflfes and thieves. "The shepherd, if he. is not a madman, lives in the. midst of his flock, calls it, gathers if, unflagging!# goes back and forth beside it , goes before it in difficult mailers, is first la frwf difficulties, smooths them out as best he can, (oris to make the awkward thorough¬ fares safe, then slaps at the hard spot fn watch his sheet* pass bp and, if he- sees a fearful or weak one., ftifas ff on his shoulders and carries it past the. hazardous spot , and if the wolf comes he does not run away but hurls himself at it, tr front of his sheep, and defends them, even at the cost of death to save them, tie immolates himself for them, to satisfy the wild fomfs hunger, so it may ntr longer feed tlie need to tear to pieces. How many wild beasts there are against souls! The shepherd does not get lost in pointless chats with passers-by and does not amuse himself at the back with things ihsf are net up to him. He takes care of his flock and that is enough. "Now look. Doesn't ii seem like reading chapter 8 of Ezechiel? "First idol : Jealousy. "You should be charity, right? Charily to induce others to charity. What are you? Jealous of one another. You take offense if a layman criticizes you. But don't you criticize one another, and often unjustly? The superior criticizes the subordinates. The subordinate criticizes the superiors. You are jealous if one of you is noticed, if one of you docs better than you, if ocie of you becomes richer. This, iriiifJi should horrify yuw, is on the contrary what makes your mouths water the most. But was 1, the eternal Priest, rich? Bo perfect and you will be noticed and praised, however much you should cure tmly about God's glory. Be perfect and you will do well in the only purpose worthy of your garment: that of bringing souls to God. "Second idol, actually many idols: the various heresies that replace in you the creed you should have. 120 "You too, like the seventy elders spoken of by Ezechiel,™ are incensing idols, each one the idol he prefers. And you do fio in the dark hoping that people's eyes may not see you. But they do. And you scandalize them. Because the faithful, and people in general, are like children. They do not seem to be wa tching, but they never stop keeping an eye and an car on the grown-ups. "But don't you know that even if people did not see, God does? Why then do you give, off your incense before the power of gold or that of man? Don't I noticefrom the height of My throne too many of My priests busy devoting their time—that time l give them to spend in their priestly mission—fowling their time in human business to increase their well-being? Yes, 1 see that- Don't i notice—a nd i f nauseates Me —too many of My priests abjuring My Law to abide by the law of wretched men, expecting honors and money? Yes, i see that. "Oh! politicking priests! Today's Scmhedrists! let them re¬ member, tiwugh, what end the Sanhedrin met precisely at the hands of those at whose feet they had thrown their consciences flat and broken My Law. And I say no more. This is as far as mankind is concerned. TVur rest will come from the eternal and just Judge. " Third idol: the senses. "Yes, them is this too. And I say no more out of respect for My 'megaph one-' B?v f let each one examine himself lo see if in the place when: the only women lawful to remember with love by a priest , My Mother und his own mother, there, might be a pagan goddess. Think: yw touch Me, you receive Me. And that i& enough, Do no! put the. Most Pure in contact with a flesh stained with lust. "Fourth idol: the worship of the orient.™ "The sects.™ Yes, this too. And shouldn't I look at many of you indignantly and have for many the rebukes that I had for the Pharisees and Doctors [of the Law] of My time?*” And shouldn't I kindle some Tights' among the lay people who love Me a* many of you do not, out of compassion for the souls whom you leave in the cold, in the dark, in impurity the souls for whom you are not a way to God but a path leading down¬ wards?

If you turn info a bulwark and a thrust towards the first way, Satan will nut hurst in and souls will be spurred on to God. But if you are the first ones to roll down Satan's slope, you will drag mankind, ivith anticipated time, towards the frorrors of the Antichrist. "And although he must come, turn? betide fTutoei who anticipate his coming and lengthen it, hL’cau.',^ he shall cease to live at the hour setfrom everlasting, and the longer the l ime ofhi$ stay, the more- souls shall be lost , Not one of these shall go unavenged, remember that- Why,if your God sees the sparrow that dies, how could He not see a soul that dies? Those who kill it, whoever they are, skill hive to render an account to Me, and I shall mete out Ikeir condemnation." 69. A vision of the final resurrection At Maria VaJtoLta describes the following vision, she ddLlnisstt, her spiri¬ tual director, Fr. MigLiorini. January 2 % 1 V44 C romp lete text Q44; 112-115 What I see this evening: A vast expanse of soil, so boundless as to be like a sea, I say "soil" because there is soil as on the fields and on the streets. But there are no trees, not a stalk, not a blade of grass. Dust, just dust. I see this in a light that is not light. A barely sketched, wan glimmer, of a greenish violet as tan be seen at times of very strong storms or total eclipses. A frightening light if burnt-out stars. That's It: the sky is starless, there is no moon, no sun. The sky is emply, as the earth is empty. Ttie Otie has been stripped of its flowers of light, the other of its plant- and animal-life. Both are huge sloughs of what used to be. I have all the time to see this desolate vision of the universe's death. 1 think it will look the same as at the first moment, 3 * 4 when skv and ea rth a [ready existed, but the sky was void of heavenly bodies, and earth was bare of life- It was an a Iready sol idifted globe but still uninhabited, hur tli ng in space, waiting for the Creator's finger to give it herbs and animals. Why do I understand the vision fo be tha t of the universe's death? Because of one of those "other voice$" I do not know whom they come from, but they do in me what the chorus does in the ancient tragedies. They point out special aspects of the play that the protagonists do not explain. This is precisely what I would like to tgil you and which I will Cell you after. As l look around on this desolate scene, the need of which I do not understand, T see, springing up from I don't know where, standing in the middle of the endless plain, I sec Death.*® A skeleton laughing with its uncovered teeth and Its empty eye-sockets. Sovereign of that dead world, wrapped up In its winding-sheet as in a cloak, ft has no scythe. It has already reaped everything. It casts its empty gaze around on its harvest and sneers. It lias its arms joi ned on i ts ch est. Then i t opens them, these skeletal arms, and opens its hands, nothing more than bare bones; and, beca use it is a gigantic figure present ever ywhere— better to say near everything —.it leans a finger, its right forefin¬ ger, onto my forehead. I feel die ice of the sharp bone dial seems to pierce through my forehead and go in my head like an ice-needle. But I understand Hut this has no other meaning than that of cal iing my attention to what i s happening, Sure enough with its left arm it gestures at the desolate sweep on which we rise, i t the sovereign, I the only living being. Upon its silent bidding, given with its left hand's skeletal fingers and by rh ythmically turning its head right an d left, the soil cracks into thousands of clefts. And in the bottom of these dark gullies, scattered white things shine white, but I do not understand what they are.“* As I strain to deride what they are, Death goes on furrow- ing the clods with its gaze and command, as with a plouglishane. The clods cleave open more and more, as far as the far-away horizon, and Death ploughs the waves of the sail-less seas, and the waters gape open, forming liquid abysses, Titen from tlm- earth-gullies and from the sea-furrows, the white things, which 1 saw scattered a ud unbound, come up and 122 L23 reassemble. Millions upon millions upon millions of skeletons emerge from the oceans and stand tip from the ground, Skele¬ tons of £ill sive*: from tiny infant-skeletons with tiny hands like little dusty spiders, to adult skeletons, even gigantic ones whose bulk evokes some antediluvian beings. And they ate amazed, somewhat shaking, like people waking up with a.start from a deep sleep, who cannot make out where they are. The sight of all these skeletal bodies, shining while in this Apocalyptic "non-light," is frightful. Then a cloudiness not unlike fog rises from the open ground and open seas, and slowiy condenses around these skeletons. Taking shape and becoming opaque, it turns to flesh, bodies like ours who now live. Eye-sockets are filled with eyes and irises, cheek-bones are covered with cheeks, over bare jaws gums now stretch and lips are remade and hair grows again on Skulls and the arms are fleshed out and the Augers turn nimble and the whole bodies become alive again, just like ours. Though like ours, the new bodies look different- Some are wonderfully beautiful, with a perfection in shape and colors which makes them like art masterpieces. Others are hideous, not on account of Lameness or real deformities, but on account of their overall appearance mors beastly than human: sidelong eyes, twisted faces, looks of a wild beast and, what strikes me the most, a darkness given off by those bodies which increases the leaden color of the air around them- Whereas the wonder¬ fully beautiful ones have smiling eyes, peaceful faces, pleasant looks, and shed a brightness that makes a halo around their whole being from head to toe and spreads to the inside. If all were like the murky ones, darkness would be so complete as to hide everything. But because of the other ones, brightness not only Lasts, it increases, so much that I can see everything as one should. The ugly ones' cursed destiny is not in doubt, because this curse its marked on their foreheads. They say nothing, casting around them frightened, sidelong glances with their faces low¬ ered, and they gather to one side, upon an inmost command which I cannot hear but must have been given by someone and heard by the risen. The wonderfully beautifu l ores also gather, smiling at one another and looking at the ugly ones with pity mixed with horror. And these exceedingly beautiful ones sing, singing to God a slow, tender hymn of blessing. T can sec nothing else- I understand I just saw the final resurrection, 70.

"Many think that from the moment of the end until the universal Judgment there will be only an instant. But God will be good to the veiy end, O My daughter- Gaud and jusL "Not all the people living at the last hour will be holy, and not all will be damned. Among the holy ones, there will be those who are destined to Heaven but have something to pay for. 1 would be unjust if I quashed their expiation whidi I inflicted on alt those who came before them and were in the same condition when they died. "Therefore, those alive in the last hour and who die at the last hour anti who deserve Heaven but need to be cleansed more, will go into the purifying fire. Meanwhile, justice and the end shall come for other planets, and one by on* the stars shall die out in the sky like flames on which someone blows, and darkness and cold shall increase, throughout My hours which are your centuries —and ihe knur of darkness hss already begun, rn both sky and hearts. 1 will increase the heat of the purifying fire so that the purification may be quicker and the blessed do not wait too long to bring their holy flesh lo glorification and delight it too in seeing its God, its Jesus in His perfection and His triumph, "That is why ytru saw the earth bereft oi herbs and trees, of animals, of people, of life, and the oceans without sails, a Still 124 125 expanse of still waters Becau&e the waters, no longer called to give life to their fishes, will no longer need motion, just as the earth, no longer called to give life to the grasset; and other beings, will no longer need warmth- This is why you saw the sky lacking its luminaries, without fires anymore and without lights anymore- Light and warmth will no longer be necessary to the earth, by then a huge corpse bearing within itself the corpse* of all those who lived from Adam to the last son of Adam. "Death „ My Last servant on Earth, shall carry' ou t ity last task and then it too shall cease to exist There shall no longer be Death, But only eternal Life- Jn bliss Or in terror. Life in Cod or life in Satan for yon r stilus reassembled in soul and body. "Enough for now- He&t and think of Me," [Maria Valtorta explains to her spiritual director;] I forgot to tell you. Father, that all the bodies were naked but it was not disgusting, as though malice were dead too in them and in me. And then the bodies of the damned were shielded by their darkness and the bodies of the blessed were clothed by their light.

They are children of God but not 'firstborn children of the Father.' Only the Firstborn Son sits on His kingly throne. Only Christ, whose earthly throne was the Cross, bears high up on His Gross, on the beam above the bead. His glorious sign: J Jesus Christ, King of the Jews.' inT Christians bear the sign of Christ with the top humbly missing, as befits children of royal stock but not fi rstborn of the Father. "Wliat is the Tau sign made up of? Where is it affixed? Oh! Let go of material forms when you immerse yourselves into the knowledge of My kingdom which is wholly of the spirit! "It is not a material sign which will make you immune from the verdict executed by the angels, In characters invisible to human eyes but very visible to My ministering angels, it will be written tm you r spirit s. And it is your own works, your very selves, which wit! hive carved during the lifetime of each one if you that sign which makes you worthy to be saved for Life.. Age, social standing: all that will be nothing in My angels' eyes. The only tking of value wdl he that sign. It will equalize kings and beggars, women and men. priests and warriors. All wilt hear it equally, if in their respective lifestyles they have equally served God and obeyed His Law. Aral the reward shall be Ike same, to see and enjoy God forever, for all those who appear before Me with that shining .sign in their spirits. "Just being very' convinced of the need, the. duly' to give God all glory and aTl obedience carves into your souk that holy sign which makes you Mine and instills into you a pleasant similarity to Me, the Savior. And on account of this you, like Me, grieve for people's sins, since those sins both offend the T*>rd and deal spiritual death to your brothers and sisters. Charity us kindled, and where there is charity, there is salvation. "Ezeehiel gays he heard the Lord commanding the man wearing linen to take the burning coals that won?between the cherubim and to cast them onto the city to punish the guilt} 7 , starting with those of the sanctuary, For the eye of the Lord was tired of seeing the works of people who think they can do evil with imp unit} 7 because God fete them do it, and who dorei ve themselves that God sees nothing but the hypocritical outward appearance^ "No. With His infinite power Cod reads the bottom of your hearts, Q you ministers of the sanctuary, O you mighty of the earth, O you married couples who sin, O you children who break the fourth commandment, O you professionals who lie, O you dealers who rob, O all of you who disobey My ten commandments. 2 ” Any covering is useless. Like your X-rays 126 127 of which you arc so proud, and far mom yet, Cod's eye searches you, penetrates into yc.ni, pierces you, reads you, dissects you for what you really are. Remember that- "Fire taken from between the cherubim Co punish is not a symbolic action. "What do you lack when you are at fault? Charity. 1 already explained it to you people when I spoke of Fuigatory and Hen,™ these two Iruf hs which you consider fairy tales. Charity towards God: the first three commandments. Charity towards the neighbor: the other seven¬ th! Many times you will hear Me coming back lo this, subject. It would be better if you did not need it so muchf It would mean you are improving. But you are not improving. On the contrary, you are hurtling down quickly like meteorites towards anti-charity- "Your deeds, in fact your misdeeds against Charity are multiplying more and more, increasing like a mushroom bed sprung up on the decay of a piece of Land, I see this farther- and farther-reaching, thicker and thicker growth, this thriving of misdeeds upon preexistent misdeeds, as though from a layer of rot another, more poisonous layer sprang up, and so on, The atmosphere of sin and crime, Ehesoil of sin and crime, the layer of sin and crime in which you live, on which you settle, from which you spring up—that's wbat feeds with its corruption the new layer, soil and atmosphere yet more corrupt and blood¬ thirsty It is a perpetual motion, a revolving chaos of evil, like that of certain pathogenic microbes which go on reproducing non-step and with greater and greater virulence in infected blood. "Now if is fair that you should be punned for your sins against Charity by theftre off he Charity which you have rejected. It was Love. Moor ft is Punishment- Cod's gift is not to be scorned. But you, you have scorned it. The gift turns into chastisement- God iuitft’ draws Charily from you and leaves you in your dtrifncfiffrify. Gad hurts at you, like thunderbolts, the Charity which you looked down upon, and He punishes you. In order to cal! you n^ufn, if not many of you, still those who can have a change of heart and meditate , J The cherubim, the symbol of supernatural Charity, keep between them the embers of Charity. The action, which seems only symbolic, conceals a real truth. "When you are summoned to the great Judgment, those who lived in Charity will not appear burnt by tire punitive fire. Already ablaze with themselves, due to the holy love which filled them, they will not have been bitten by the burning divine punish¬ ment; they wiJ have received the divine kiss which will make them more beautiful. Whereas those who were flesh, only flesh, will bear on their flesh the scars of the divine flashes of light¬ ning, because only the flesh can be marked by such scars, not the spirit which is a fire Jiving in the Fire of the Laird. "At this Judgment, on the sides of the Judge that I arm there will be My four Evangelists. They wore themselves out to bring the law of Charity into hearts, and after they died they contin¬ ued their work with their Gospels, from which the world has life because to know Christ is to have Life within one's self. It is therefore fair that John, Luke, Matthew and Mark be with Me when you are judged far having or not having lived the Gospel™ I am not a jealous and stingy' God. I call you to share My glory- Shouldn't 1 then give these faithful servants of Mine who made My Word known to you and undersigned it with their blood and their troubles, give them a share in the glory of Judgment? "I will judge you not while you are alive, but 'at the confine*'of earthly ifa, namely where life comes to an end to become eternity. I will judge you for the life each one of you has lived. I will judge all of you, from first to last, once and for all, for the good you have done or have failed to do. As you saw, Maria, 211 a t the resurrection you will all be equal, poor unfastened bones, poor ha ve thickening into flesh, things you are so proud of now, as if those bones and that flesh were so great as tu be greater than Cod. "As matter you are nothing. Nothing. Only My spirit infused into you turns you into something, and only by hoping in you My spirit, which became a soul in you, do you deserve to be clothed with that imperishable light which will be it garment far your flesh, by then made incorruptible for eternity. "I will judge you, and already among yourselves you will judge one another, and within yourselves you will judge yuur- 128 129 selves, even before I appear, because then youwill see yourselves. The Earth for which you are so grasping will be dead r and with it all the flavors of Earth, and you will come cut of (he drunk¬ enness you fill yourselves up with, and you shaft see. "Ohl dreadful sight for those who liviid only for Earth and its falsehoods! Oh! joyful sight for those who beyond Earth's voices 'wanted' to listen to Heaven's voices and remained faithful to them- "The first shall be dead,, the second, alive- They shall be darkness or light, depending on their lifestyles which are either with the Law, or against the Law for having replaced it with the human ov demoniac law. They shall go either into the dread fu I embrace of never-ending Darkness or into the beatific one of triune Light, which glows, waiting to fuse you to itself, O Mv saints, O those who love Me, for ail Eternity." 72. Spiritual salt flats vs. the Waters of Life February 6,1944 _ Complete dictation _ Q44:l93-l96 EKechid ch.47. Jesus says: "I have said: 'I am fin whoever welcomes Me) a fountain of living water springing up into life everlasting / 211 “Whether it is jiit individual or a nation, blessed are those ivfaj welcome Me and have within themselves the marvels of the Water of true Life, Bui by now there are too few individuals who wel¬ come Me and even fewer nations, .4™ 1 the fruits of rejecting Jesy$ Christ, or even only overlooking Him, can. fie seen, They can be seen in their whole tragic aspect and tasted with their poisonous tang which lead you people io despair, to death, after having made you rave with llie anxiety for the futu re which makes you almost go insane.

"Look at what you have already turned into, and sJiurfder. Shudder, as you think of what you will become? worse than barren salt flats in which every life form is absolutely impossi- bit. They are found in the most desolate spots in the deserta, and their desolation does not know even the miserable cover¬ ing Stretched out on the desert's desolation: a covering of wretched grasses, thorny shrubs, thinly scattered animals dwelling there, which gives that solitude a life of flights, chirps and slithers, and shows that that strip of ground is not dust dead for centuries. You will become worse than those saline regUms, where no thing can live and no seed can strike root and no bind can interrupt its flight and no reptile can stop on the ground or even brush with a swift movement its glossy skin on it. This is what you will become, what you are becoming, what you have already become to a great extent for having rejected Christ , flit Water that makes fertile. ''From My heaven, 1, T fead of the mvstirai Body composed of all the Christians., I pour out My waters of life, and from My Church I spread them on the world. I would spread them, but the world, erects dykes and damn and blockades Ivly pouring. Really the world thrusts these dykes against the Church to choke her and bury her, and Me with her. It is a tmoeless fight- h is the real War, which all the. wwre of all imtnfcfed jri the Christian era come from: Ihc fight against Christ, "Take note: one need n otlaunch great persecutions or ca use great schisms to fight against Christ, The sinal i-scale, individ¬ ual, innermost struggle of each one of you against My law: that too is a fight against Christ The hidden, crafty state struggle of a country against the voice of Catholic Rome* against the voice speaking in My name through My Vicar's mouth and drawing people, espedal ly leaders, to the law of honesty, duty and love: that too is a fight against Christ, Those individual and statu struggles are guerrilla warfare- Nowadays you are so familiar with military expressions that you understand Me if I call them like this. They are guerrilla warfare. Then there come out of these the real, actual attacks, decisive advances, impressive manoeuvres and cruel slaughters. 130 131 "Satan is the Captain of tharmed forces which began in Jerusalem, within the Sanhedrin, among the caste of the Fhar- isees, Scribe* and Sadducees; aimed forces which found their ensign in Judas; armed forces which became forger and forger over Hie centuries £rf persecutions against Christians.

Most shall fall like slaughtered beasts, glutted with vioes and grown fat on vices, disturbed, poisoned satanized by curbed doctrines, demons in their blaspheming way of speaking, in their rejecting minds, in their abjuring hearts.

I spoke using the prophecies of the Holy Book, explaining them to you, applying them to today, and if I fell silent after¬ wards on this, it is because I understood that it was useless for the purposes of Good and unsafe because those divine words could have become weapons of diabolical torture against My 134 13a servants who heard them, repeated them, spread them and welcomed them- But that is My Thinking, and ever, if it is rot expressed in Wordy, it does rrni change.

There is no gift of Mine, no kindness of Mine, no rebuke of Mine, no punishment of Mine of use to stop mankind, redeemed by Me, from voluntarily ruining itself in Satan.

"I refer yon people to My first dictations. I always said™- that this was not a war of nations, bur Satan's war against God, one of the wars preparing the coming of the Antichrist, whose forerunners are around now. I always said that Satan was waging war against spirits through the horrors inflicted on bodies, and that many would break down because the spirits of people, no longer fed on grace and faith, are extremely weak against evil. I said that My angels, through the sacrifice of the good, wxaitd fight to prevent a widespread mowing in the human race by the demons. "I said, in the particuter case of the Italians, that if they could not use their first grace uprightly and if, after worship¬ ping as a god one less than an idol and serving him servilely like brutes, they went on to use the same cruel methods as he did, ehastisemen t would come down.

Israel humiliated, persecuted, dominated, scattered, used to say in a wailing voice: 'Hare is the chastisement for no longer being rraJ children of GodJ' 3 " Yet none of the leaders, at least very very few leaders, became converted to Me. Exhortations and re¬ bukes, gentleness and sternness, indulgence and intransigenoe, smiles and sadness, readiness fo work miracles or apathy for tlieir requests for miracles— I used everything to shake them and persuade them. All I obtained was thei r more intense, more complete prostitution with Satan until they went so far as to ride; roughshod over the prophets, refusing to acknowledge Me as Christ aa the facte proved by bearing out the prophecies, and they went so far as to kill Christ, the Word of God. "Now the same thing is happening. Among the powerful and among the powerless, socially or individually, 90% of people live like the Pharisees of back then and art with the same systems- Self-seeking, pride, hardness of heart, lust, greed, gluttony and all the forms of selfishness are the foundations of your lives and the rules of your actions. You are not horrified by fohmael's harshness. You too do die same fo those you have no more use for. Both Charity and charity' are dead in you. You love only yourselves. "But now Isay: Charity, whom you do not want, flows onto precisely those you scorn, forsake, and laugh at after even 140 141 exploiting them- They are those who live only for Charity's sake arid who, loving God more than themselves, love you more dian them.selves. They love you a s t <od loves, helping you in sou I and matter. You do not know anything, understand anything, wonder about anything. But God knows, secs and understands without asking. He knows why there is some compassion for you from on high: because of these charitable people who Love Me and love you, and who have turned love into their life purpose—not for you as you are, but to do something agreeable to Me. J 'Do vou people know r how many tears, h ow many sorrow's, how many penances, ho w many sacrifices, are the price of your existence? You think you have life from your mothers who gave you birth and from your fathers who gave you bread. IVue, if you measure yourselves by the yardstick of brutes, you haw life from your parents. But Life, true Life, goes on for you, to gin# you time to fw conrwrfriii, thanks to those charitable people. And many of you do not die forever because of these heroes unknown to you: by putting themselves beLw r eer you and God, With raised arms, they stave off the divine punishments and transfuse gome spiritual blood into you. Yes, into you. whose veins have been slashed by moral diseases, they transfuse that blood which flows in the great mystical Body and which is the blood of grace- But it is through the sifter of their sacrificed wines that this good filters to you wicked people- "This is a severe dictation- T am sorry about it for My Little John's sake. 1 * But I comfort her with a caress, this one: though all forsook you, JMariaJ f will bo for you- Though ati forgot you, I will remember you. Though all hated you, I will love you. See how f help you even bodily with physical strength when the time is right? You are in My hands, a beloved and precious instrument- Have no fear. "Live in and fij r your mission. Do as a child given that toy which yhows wonderful views if you keep your eyes next to the lenses, but which is [ust a black box if you move your eyes away. Maria, you keep your eyes glued on Me and your mission. The world is around you. Jt must stay ound. It must nfll be within you. Within, is Afy world. Give the world, the poor unknowing and blind world, the lessons and Lights which cume to you from My world, if you could only s$fc how much of Heaven is around your work! " AH How happy you will be when you realize you are in My world forever, and have comm over, from the poor world, without even noticing, going from a vision io tlie reality, like a little child dreaming about mother and who wakes up being priced against mother's heart 1 will act like this with yon. 234 "Be good, patient, charitable, and have no fear. T give you My peace, I give it to you in plenty, today, JMame of Mary, 35 ’ 1 and let it be the gift of grace to Little John." 81.

April 15,1A45 tompLebe teat Q45;57-5 B Ezechfel, ch.37, vv.1-14. Jesus says; "I ask you, Maria, what the Lord asked Ezaehfel: 'Do you think these bones shall live?'" I, like Ezechiel, reply: "O Lord Cod, Yoit know," because I understand the mean¬ ing of the won! 'bones/ used here to mean 'people.' In other words i (.understand that Jesus is not asking me if the dead will rise on the last Day. It is of faith, and there is no doubt about it. But He gives the name of bones' to today's poor mankind, all matter and no spirit. I understand il because, as 1 already explained many times to you. Father [MigliormiJ, when God takes me to be His megaphone. My intelligence fe amplified and raised to a power far above that allowed to human beings. And I can 'see,' 'hear/ 'understand' according to the spirit. Jesus smiles because He sees I understood His ques¬ tion, He explains: "It is like this. Today Mankind is but bones, mere ruins burnt to ashea, heavy, dead, sunken in the foul gullies of vices and heresies. The spirit no longer exists, the spirit which is life 142 143 in the flesh and life in eternity, the spirit which is what differ¬ entiates people from animals. People have murdered them- selves, in the best part of their selves. Are they machines? Brutes? Corpses? Yes, they are all that. "They arc machines, because they do their day's work mechanically like a mechanism which works because work it must due to the force of its parts in motion, but which does so without understanding the beauty of what it is doing- People tod up and go bo bed after having eaten, worked, travelled, spoken, without ever understanding die beauty or ugliness of what they are doing. This is simply because, bereft as they are of spirit, they can no longer tell beauty' from ugliness, gwd from evil, "People are brutes because they are content sleeping, eat¬ ing, putting on body fal and stocking up in their lairs, no more no less than brutes. Those operations are the brutes' life goals and the joy of their existence, and justify every thing^sel fish¬ ness. and cruel deeds—for this low, savage law of the need to prey upon others to be glutted. "People am corpses because the rea son humans can be said to be alive is the presence of the spirit in their flesh. When people's souls come out, they become corpses. In truth-today's people are corpses held up and kept in motion by the sorcery of mechanics or of the devil, but they are corpses. "Well, I say 'Behold, I will send spirit into you, dry bones, and you shall live- And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over you, and will cover you with skin; and 1 will give you spirit and you shall live, arid you shall know that I am the Lord./’* Yes, I will do this. The time shall come when again [ have a people of 'the living' and not of corpses. "Meanwhile here I am, giving the food of My words to tlic best, not dead, but skeleton-like for lack of spiritual food. Ido not want you to die from consumption. Here is the nourishing, sweet-tasting manna which strengthens you. Oh! Feed on it, children of My love and of My sacrifice! And why rmist I see so many going hungry, whe-n so much food has been pre.petredfor Hum by the Savior, and no oy\e dnerojs from it for those who are hungry? Feed on if, rise to your feet, come out of your tombs. Come out of your idleness., come out of the vices of worldly life, come to know ledge, come to 'acknowledge' the Lord your God. "I told you people at the beginning of this work and half¬ way through this tragic war 40 and I tell you again: "This is one of the wars preparing the times of the Antichrist/ Then the era of the living spirit wiil come. Blessed arc those who will pre¬ pare to receive it. "Do not say:' IVe won 't be there.' True, rtot aft of you will. But it is stupid and anti-charitable to think just about yourselves. From atheistic parents, atheistic children are bom- From idfe parents,, idle children are bom. And they, your children and your children's children, will have such great need of spiritual strength for that hour! After all it is a law of human love bo provide for the children's and grand-children's good. Do no less for w'hat Is spiritual, than you do for the things of this world: as you give your children wealth or try' to give it so they' may have happier days than yours, strive to give them a legacy of spiritual strength which they may perfect and increase to have plenty of it when the hail of the last battles of the world and of Lucifer lashes mankind so mercilessly that people will wonder if Hell might not be better. ''Hd.l! Mankind will frit 1 it. Afterwards, for those faithful to the *pi ri t, there will come Faradi se, the Earth which is n ot earth: the Kingdom of the Heavens." 82, The need to be voluntary victims PEoember 26,1945_Extract Q15:162 Jesus says: "The last time shall be that of the spirit. But truly, truly T tell you people that only those who will be voluntary victims for the Spirit, and quarries accepted by the Spirit, shall still be able to acknowledge the supernatural.

August 1.6,19*9 Two complete dictations Q49:p16-517; 517-5 IB Jesus says: "There is a hypnotical and unreasonable sentence, which is a challenge ho Charity, Wisdom and Justice and which is also a curtain to hide the; will of those who say it, a will damply and haughtily and also basely dashing with Mine: 'If it is God's work, God will look after it and will make it prevail.' When I hear it, with a start of holy anger I would like to come down to Earth and repeal the gesture with which I cleaned out the Temple from swindlers, thieves and traders- "1 should do that But I am Mercy, and L am such as long as people are on earth. I await their conversion as long as they have breath. But then, for the arrogant and those who tempt their Lord—and they tempt Him because they know He is loo good with ihem—there shall be the first and second Judg¬ ment and they shall become aware of a Fa« of the Lord unlike the one against which they spit out their irritating sentence- . "What should 1 do to look after the Work and make it prevail? T should have the dreadful God of Sinai act, 1h* God of the times of wrath and strictness, and I should shrike them by lightning in their sin, in their sins, because many are the Sins contained in their stubborn pride against My will, What else should 1 do if not that? "I gave, through you, [Maria,] all the proof?- In you there is no sin of revolt, of pretense, of pride- You are a meek victim of their will - You yourself defend their will, because they are the Chureh/ from those who would like to ride roughshod over it Due lo your crucifixion" 5 it is indisputable that you cannot scrutinize scholarly books. With your learning it is indisput¬ able that you cannot w rite those pages. Wha t else do they want, if this is not enough for them to say: 'Yes. It is die Spirit of God here present'? There is no dogmatic error, truly there is none m the Work. 143 "If the Spirit has given tights [lights of grace) 1 ** to light up completely what this or that school in twenty centuries had only lit with one ray in one spot, they should bless God for His grace and not say: 'But we say otherwise.' "What is Wisdom? Their servant or their sovereign? "But to avoid calling themselves rebels out of human pride, to hide these wounds of theirs, they say: 'It's up to God.' "God has been acting. But the prince of the world rules in this world whereas the King of kings reigns in Heaven and since He is faithful—yes. He is faithful—to the free will He entrusted to people, for their trial, their reward and many limes for their condemnation, tie does not coerce their wills. But Ife waits for them, soon, at the judgment, "They would do well bo meditate the page of the Gospel where 1, Master of masters, incarnate Wisdom, Word and Truth, say that the sins against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, "And in truth this is work of the Spirit, of the Spirit of God, of the Love of the Father and of the Son, of the Spirit who knows every truth and comes lo speak thy truth to the people caught in today's turmoil, in fact turmoils, so they' may defend them¬ selves against infernal doctrines." Then Jesus says to me: "You will tell your and My real friends never Lo say that sentence again. They say it innocently, but it grieves Me all Ihe same. Children of Truth as they want to be, they ought to either hold their tongues about it or say the truth: 'Jesus cannot triumph with the Work because mm do not want Him to.' "They are to say Ibis truth within themselves and to their peers (not to the enemies), just as l always said the Truth even warning children of the Torah (My apostles and disciples) against the leaven and sins of the masters of (he Torah ((be Scribes and Pharisees, even the greatest among them, Caiaphas and Annas). "Warn all of them: lay people and Priest (My Fr. S,) r so that they would not cause Me this grief. "This grief f What a grief! To see Myself, I-C >od, trampled on in My will by people, or misunderstood to the extent that I hear: 'You must look after it.' Doesn't anyone think it over that this J if the work is from God, He is to look after it' is proof of the 145 offensive doubt present in them that it may not be from Cod? Don't they realize they offend against charity towards Me by insinuating that to persuade them God should perform Ex¬ traordinary works to make the already extraordinary works prevail? Don't they realise they offend against charity towards you, [Maria,] by insinuating even unconsciously, that you ei¬ ther simulated, or had Darkness for a master? They must not say that anymore. Never again. "I had wanted to tell you this for a long time, because L see your heart is being covered with wounds, one for each time that the silly sentence is said- Hut now you are too wounded, soul of Mine, for Me to be able to remain silent any longer. "Soul of Mine, soul of Mine, soul of Mine! Come and weep here, to be able to live some more . Come to Me, Here. And let us weep together, because once more 1 came to My own and My (Yivn did n<ft rtvrive Mr. and did no t acknowledge.

"Since the creation of the Angds and of Mankind, how many of God's perfect works have been trampled on or brought to nought by mankind?! And were they by any chance not of God because they did not prevail? On the contrary it is precisely because they awr? af God that they were trampled on. I tell you, that it is *o." 150 Notes 1.

But in 1943 there was a breakthrough. God lifted some veils off the Antichrist, the two Beasts, and the great Babylon; He shed light cm the Woman clothed with the sun, and the two Witnesses; and He clarified many other Scriptural passages about the End Times, He did so in an extensive series of revelations to an Italian mystic, Maria Valtorta, Jesus did not grant those revelations to satisfy idle curiosity, Jesus bestowed them in these troubled days of ours to help you to persevere until your death and particular judgment. At times sad, at times exalting; at times soul-searching, at times comforting; Jesus J stirring dictations to Maria Valtorta are powerful prophecies, exhortations, rebukes, and teachings to shake us up, to show us our world for what it is, to enlighten our minds about public revelation and set our hearts on fire for God. — Find out why the period of the forerunners of the Antichrist is a concern of yours; — look carefully for hints On how to hasten the defeat of the Antichrist; — straighten your hope by glimpsing Jesus' victory over the Anti- christ and Jesus r glorious blessings in store for His elect; — see the crackling tension between God's overflowing Love and His offended Justice; — heed Jesus's compassionate appeals to you for help to save your soul and the souls of others in these uncertain rimes of ours, these times of ours which are called ... the End Times.
