True Life in God

your toiling will be of avail; your
achievements profitable for your
sanctification and for My Glory and My
Throne; you will stray no more from the
path of Truth for you will have Me as
your Holy Companion; I will be your
Spiritual Director, directing your step
with My Royal Sceptre; Sovereignty will
be with you and the power of the Most
High will be upon you to shed light at
your feet;
if you would choose to follow the Path
of Virtues, it will mean that you have
chosen Me to be your King so that I
reign over you; thus the Holy Spirit will
grant you Wisdom, for having chosen to
tread the way of good people, persisting
in the Path of the upright;
behold the innumerable Treasures of
My Sacred Heart; so far I have been
instructing you about the Treasure of the
Knowledge of God and of understanding
Him; then of the Treasure of Mercy, then
of the Treasure of intimacy and of how
to possess God, and then of the Treasure
of the Path of Virtues; now I will give
you an understanding of the Treasure of
Hope that comes from the Holy Spirit;
hope brings forth joy and consolation
in your heart and although one could
carry in his heart all the hardships
imaginable, the carrier

of the Holy
Spirit overcomes all of them because the
Holy Spirit will be chanting to him
hymns of consolation and love, helping
him thus to overcome the hardships and
lift his spirit, invigorating him to walk
with dignity; Hope, therefore, is a gift
from the Holy Spirit;
can a man put his hopes on the riches
of the world, that captivate so many
hearts, and do not bring you in touch
with God, and still feel happy? when he
knows that these do not last for ever and
will not give you eternal life and glory
either? no, no one could be happy, when

his soul is captive only to the riches of
the world; the outcome will be bitter as
wormwood; but happy is the man who
turns to Me; I can make him rich
through his poverty; I can enrich him
through all the Riches that My Heart
contains;
in My Heart lies all paths that lead to
happiness; when you will discover the
Treasure of Hope you will hear yourself
sounding like ripples of water by your
laughter, at the sound of your laughter
all heaven will be rejoicing for your eyes
are going to look on a King in His
celestial beauty and no more on the
polluted riches of the world; yes, you will
regard your silver and gold that you once
idolised, as unclean; then, the Viper who
held you prisoner will never again nest
in you because the Holy Spirit who is
your Hope but Guardian as well will be
dwelling well within you and you in
Him; you will find yourself shouting for
joy, everlasting joy will be marked on
your face; joy and gladness will go with
you and sorrow and lament will be
ended; yes, the Treasure of Hope
comforts and consoles your spirit;
Scriptures say that when you pray,
understanding is given to you; if till
today you do not understand Me it is
because you do not pray; here I am, I do
not hold silver or gold nor any precious
stones in My Hands to offer you, but
instead I hold something priceless: My
Heart, with its inexhaustible treasures
within it;
will I hear as from a new-born baby a
first wail? will you be willing to be born
of Me? do you now understand My
language? have you noticed, beloved
ones, how I have sent My angels to stand
by your gates and watch over you in
these dark hours that pass by? you
should rely more on My saving help; the
Spirit who is your hope will invigorate
you by sealing your forehead with My
Name;
