True Life in God

renewal! O blessed transfiguration!
captives today, but free tomorrow...
I tell you truly, that you too will join
the procession round the altar together
with My Angels and Saints if you are
open to My Will, allowing in this way to
be led into the King’s Royal Chamber
with the Angels and Saints in your train;
these Guardians of My Kingdom’s
Threshold then in one voice will cry out:
“gate, raise your arch, rise, you glorious
door, let the bride in! the King of Glory,
the Ruler of nations who reigns for ever,
her Beloved, is waiting for His bride;”
having then passed the King’s
Threshold, you will find yourself
standing in the presence of the King of
Glory, the Fortress of your life, the most
handsome; Loyalty and Nobility are His
insignia; your Bridegroom seated on His
Royal Throne, with a gold Sceptre
glittering in His Hand, dressed in all His
robes of Glory covered with gold and
sapphires, a formidable sight, will raise
His Face at the sound of your step, and
afire with majesty will say:
“come to Me, and receive Me as I will
receive you; I will beautify you in My
Embrace, with greatness and splendour;
intimate knowledge of Myself and
honour of your God will be arrayed on
you, adorning your soul and perfecting
it; now you are to take part in our
spiritual marriage, in this Divine Union
in which you will obtain ineffable
blessings that surpass any blessedness;”
if you will be open to My Will, this is
what will happen; generation, I put My
Love before your eyes and although My
Love is beyond human understanding,
come, pause for a while and reflect and
know that I am God, but Father as well; I
do not speak with rigid formulations,
this is not the way I make Saints and
Martyrs; My sweet converse to you is
virtue and religion; I address My Odes
with no sword by My side; My Divine
Mysteries are loveable and are revealed
to you with oil of gladness; although I
have seen your wretchedness and known
the miseries of your soul, I have not
turned My Face from you, but rather,
with Love I remember you; goodness
and kindness are the paths I choose for
you for My paths are Love and Truth; for
the sake of My Holy Name, I revived
your soul, daughter, and pardoned your
guilt; I have put by your side, Virtue and
Integrity to be your joyful Companions;
to enjoy Me, beloved, and walk in My
Presence with Me in the land of the
living, I offered you to acquire Wisdom
and willingly arrayed your body with My
transcendent Light;
it is written: “happy the man You
choose, whom You invite to live in Your
Courts;”
1
indeed, for the one who is
invited is no longer alone; those who
were alone are now in Me and blessed;
they have renounced the world, their
friends and their relatives, detaching
themselves for My Glory; (it gives Me
more glory and I receive more honour
when the detachment comes from
people who are living out in the world
with so much temptation encircling
them, but by their own free will turn
their back to all those evils and willingly
offer their will to Me);
2
– I secure in My Divine Light
all those who are in Me; –
come and listen to My Odes all you who
fear Me; have you ever heard anytime
that I have forgotten to show Mercy, or
that My anger had overcome My
Tenderness? all I do is done in
faithfulness and justice;

Ps. 65:4.

This part in brackets was said to me as one who
wishes to confide something to his friend, like if
someone says: “by the way...”
