True Life in God Notebook 109 1114
wall will be built across their path, but
My angels, the guardians of My
Threshold, will open a path for them,
spreading sapphires1 on it, to lead them
to Me...’
and you, you who cry out to Me:
“gravediggers are gathering for me,
Lord, save me! I want to renounce to sin
and be with you now in the wedding
feast!” do not despair, you too will be
saved since you are willing to be saved;
and the gravediggers will be chased away
by My angels; then My angels will lift
you sublimely on a dazzling white sheet
and holding it by its four corners, will
soar the skies carrying you in the heights
to treat your wounds2 with heavenly
balm, oil of myrrh, spices and lotions; 3
this will be done to cleanse you and
purify you before they lead you to Me;
this period of cleansing and wiping away
is customary preparation for the bride-
to-be; every bride-to-be has, for a period
of time, to be cleansed before My angels
deliver you into the Nuptial Chamber to
meet your Bridegroom;
My angels will accompany you all the
way to the Threshold, and while you will
be standing outside the Nuptial
Chamber, a slight memory of the past
will come back to you; the time when
you were formerly tainted and
contemptuous towards Me; the time
when you were unmoved at My Calls yet
enflamed for the passions of this world;
by now, at this moment a new life awaits
you; dressed in full splendour, radiant in
your beauty, cleansed and perfumed,
you are ready to step in the Nuptial
Chamber and meet your King; delighted
with joy and trembling, languidly you
make your approach to the Nuptial bed;
your gaze suddenly falls on My Divinity;
upon seeing My Holy Face although still
veiled, your soul becomes light;
1 Represents: virtues.
2 Represents: guilt and sin.
3 Figurative for purification.
“O all desirable King,
how blessed I am
to have been favoured by Your Majesty
and be called to wed Sovereignty!”
your voice will hymn to Me;
“blessed indeed are those
whom You call and wed You,
finding Heaven in Your fiery embrace;
blessed are those
who caress Your Holy Face
and delight near Your Heart;”
with these words, the King, the One who
surpasses all angelic beauties, in His
immortal splendour suddenly sees
Himself in you, a formidable sight; afire
with Divine Love, He reaches out to His-
bride-to-be, inviting her in His embrace
and says:
“I offer you, My beloved one,
as a pledge to our mystical union,
the Unction of the Holy Spirit;”
leaning then towards you, drawing you
near His Heart, He will place This4
Divine Royal Diadem on your head with
an ineffable kiss of His Mouth...
and He shrouded me
in the radiance of immortality...
now you will become part of Me and one
with Me adorning each one of your
members with Divinity and Light,
incorruption and blessedness to be
befitting for Me, your God and King;
all of a sudden the world of the past
will seem to fade away gently from you
with all its contents, forever; and in a
single moment, impassibility, the angelic
virtue, will blossom in your heart,
likewise a spiritual sensuousness of what
it would be like to be near the Beatific
4 The Unction.
