Notebook 106 True Life in God 1089
not concerned nor searched for any
goodness or righteousness you might
have done yourselves; My compassion
on you was so great that it compelled My
Mercy to be gracious to you to save you,
by means of the cleansing water of
rebirth and by renewing you with the
Holy Spirit;
I have set a treasure1 in front of you,
generation, but your soul keeps failing to
see it; you keep passing by it most of the
time, seeing nothing; and ah, how many
times have I not stretched out My Hand
to you to take you to Me and discover
Me; am I concealing My treasure from
you? I am the Treasure itself; has no one
ever told you that I am your Heavenly
Bridegroom? I am the effulgent
cleansing waters of the Life-giving
spring whose waters purify, renew and
breathe in you Life;
I am the Resurrection; so do not
waver any longer but open your eyes and
run towards Me; cease being out-distant;
has anybody taught you that the
supreme act of love is the acceptance of
My Cross? My Cross, which is your
redemptive Instrument, is in other
words the Tree that gives life; through
your redemptive Instrument your feet
cross from the valley of death into the
Beatific Vision;
I am the Resurrection and through Me
I have made you all to be sons and
daughters of the resurrection; if you
remain in sin, and unforgiving to your
neighbour, inflexible in your heart filled
with rancour, the Godhead will be
denied to your eyes; the all-Holy Spirit
will not show Himself to you if in debt to
sin, for you would have been rejecting
consciously the act of compunction, an
act of love ...
if you remain in this sin it is the same
as though you tell Me: “Master, I prefer
to remain in my tomb; I chose to remain

dead and live among the dead;” your
flesh is already putrefying, you are
decaying, and you still refuse Life? to
deny your sin is similar as to deny Life;
come instead by My side and by the side
of the saints and of those on earth who
are nearing perfection, who are serene
while in their contemplation to Me,
whom I saturate in ineffable riches and
celestial mysteries;
Holy Consubstantial Trinity,
the transgression and the rejection
of God in our days
have destroyed part
of the Church of Christ;
how can the Body of Christ
be recognisable in us,
in our so poor state?
Like inanimate matter
we are dispersed Lord,
torn asunder by our ego
and by a spirit of pride;
where is in us the distinctive sign of faith
which is love?
Tendencies of opposition are always there,
even rancours of the past
are still well alive,2
an unforgiving spirit abides in many;
ah, all-blessed act of forgiveness, act of
charity, blessed are those who have
welcomed you! you will not be tainted
anymore but will receive the Kiss on
your forehead from your Redeemer;
blessed is he who renounces his sin, he
will see Me, the Treasure, and will enter
in the path of holiness; blessed is he who
eagerly and passionately embraces My
Cross, he will enter into the Beatific
vision, and his soul will know ineffable
joys!
today, generation, I am overwhelming
you with prodigies and with the sound of

how some Orthodox clergy still have rancours with
the Catholic brothers after the schism, to say the
least ...
