matter any scourge falling on this
generation is no more than the reproofs
of Mercy;
Lord, it is written that You have only to
Will and Your power is there ...
it is also written that after sin I will grant
repentance; I have, in My great
benevolence, placed the salutary remedy
of repentance into a renewed heart that
will show Me great fervour and
truthfulness while repenting; indeed,
everyone finds the treasure of intimacy
with Me as soon as this humble act is
done; in the treasure of intimacy they
discover My friendship; the greater the
repentant is sincere, the greater My
friendship; each word uttered in
truthfulness draws My friendship closer,
for My friendship ensues in proportion
to his repentance;
it is written: “when I uttered my cry to
Him and high praise was on my tongue,
had I been guilty in my heart, the Lord
would never have heard me; but God not
only heard me, He listened to my prayer
...”

everybody who desires salvation will
feel the need to repent and I will listen to
his repentance; the wage paid by sin is
death; sin is similar to a poison inside
you and the longer it remains inside you,
the sicker you become, drawing you
closer to death; the more you do not
purge it out of your system all the more
you risk to die; you may be freed and
healed from the poison of sin if you
humble yourself and realise that the only
remedy to purge your sins is through
repentance;
tell Me: who of you would risk his life
had he discovered he had swallowed
poison and remained inert and done
nothing about it? to be cured of this
deadly potion you will have to lower

your head and admit you are a sinner,
offering Me your repentance, then all the
bitterness of the poison will be purged
out including the serpent itself which
you had been nurturing inside your
entrails all through your life,
2
and being
set free, I will replace those evils by My
sweetness ... yes, once those evils out,
you will recover, and once recovered you
will not be an alien to My Law; willingly
you will turn your back to the world
because in front of you, you will see My
Glory and My Splendour; the sight of My
radiant Presence will be shining within
and without you;
it is written: “you were dead, through
the crimes and the sins in which you
used to live when you were following the
way of this world, obeying the ruler who
governs the air,
3
the spirit who is at work
in the rebellious ...”

but now after your
repentance and through grace shown to
you I brought you to life in Me ...
I will reveal then in My smiles, the
path of life to you; you will not be
walking on hot coals anymore but on
sapphires; the inexpressible and
inaccessible God you once thought, will
give you unbounded joy in your heart
while expressing His Joy to you: “once
you were like a field that grew nothing
but brambles and thistles, practically
uninhabited and cursed; but now, with
Me, you will be like a field of My choice,
watered by the springs of the Holy Spirit
and you will give the crops that are
acceptable to Me;”
5
as I have said before, to acknowledge
Me is the perfect virtue; today the world
has no place for Me and My place is
occupied by dross; rebels and sinners
2
This whole image of ‘poison’ and ‘serpent’ within
oneself and the purge through repentance, reminds
me of the possessed who at delivery, vomit out nails,
sometimes pieces of glass, steel-wire and other
things.
