of their actions, and their existence will
be looked upon, from the dead, like a
threat; but I have anointed them; and if
to some they appear insignificant in
their eyes, in My Eyes I esteem them
more than all the jewels put together
with all the royalties and imperial
treasures as well; they are in My Eyes
lovable and noble since it is I who reared
them; anointed with the oil of My
Courts, they will draw large crowds to
replenish My Mystical Body, the Church,
which has fallen in ruin through the
neglect of the shepherds;
Lord, this, You realise, is one of the reasons
I am persecuted, it is because You blame
the hierarchy!
I know; but the word has been given to
you and I have formed you to send you
out to this apostatised world to speak in
My Name;
the shepherds are divided, opposing
one another; they are living in a spiritual
decay and if some still bear My Cross
willingly and with zeal for My House,
these too are persecuted by these
transgressors; can they
1
say that they
punctiliously obeyed Me? if they say
‘yes’, then explain to Me your division;
division is a sin; surely you know the
meaning of: “every kingdom divided
against itself is laid waste, and no city or
house divided against itself will stand;”
2
the distinctive sign of faith in them is
missing: love is not there anymore ...
even if this division has not come
directly from them but from their
ancestors, they are fanning this fire that
comes from the underground

keeping it
alive; so now, I am asking My shepherds
to repent, offering Me a true metanoia,
to allow, through this colossal power, a
transfiguration to take place; a true

Hell.
metanoia is the gate that leads souls
from darkness into light;
My Lord, my heart has had no lofty
ambitions, yet forgive my boldness by
asking You this question:
“If any of Your shepherds would come to
read that far, and come upon the words
You just uttered about asking them to
repent, wouldn’t it be those of whom You
say are full of zeal for Your House and
loyally bear Your Cross? the Abels as You
call them, that are the readers and are
willing to hear what You say, because they
have not blemished their simplicity?

wrong if I say that those that read Your
messages are those who are sincere and
faithful to Your House as well?
“How will Your words reach those whom
You want them to hear, who call your
Works evil? You call, but very few listen;
who of these will listen? the shepherds who
are already living a unity in their heart?”
do not worry about matters that are
beyond the scope of your mind and
perception; I have means to direct My
sayings to those who need salvation ...
for it is known that Mercy is to be found
in Me;

as for those of whom you call sincere
and faithful to My House, I tell you this:

At this very moment, although it was not so
apparent in that simple phrase, the Lord Jesus
revealed to me that He is sick with divine love for all
His shepherds and that was why he was reproving
them, to the point of trembling from sensitivity and
emotion of love; and it was as if I had heard our Lord
lamenting as a child who has been unjustly
mistreated, saying: “My Body has been beaten, My
friends wounded Me beyond recognition; they took
away My cloak, they who guard My House, have
stopped conversing with Me and yet it is from My
lips distilled with honey, that they could obtain the
balm of a revival; I tremble to the core of my being of
losing them; they have wrenched My limbs, they
injured Me, and when put to the test they offend Me;
and if there are any wise or holy men among them,
showing their good lives, wreathed with humility and
divine love towards Me, they run towards them like
enraged wolves to tear them to pieces; just like Cain
who belonged to the Evil One and cut his brother’s
throat, in that same manner they are treated ...”
