True Life in God

the crowd gathered in glee,
gathered around You;
strangers You never even knew
tore You apart incessantly;
when You made Your first fall,
they surrounded You,
grinding their teeth at You,
thinking You had already
given up Your Spirit and would not
make it for the Crucifixion;
the earth quivered and quaked; the
foundations of the mountains trembled;
“I will not break My Covenant;
I will not revoke My given Word;
I have sworn on My Holiness,
once for all ....
My dynasty shall last forever;”
Then the Anointed One gave up His Spirit
...
There is a River
1
whose streams
sanctify the dwelling
2
of the Most High;
and when God is in the city,
3
it cannot
fall; today, in this hour of crisis, when
the devil gathered all his evil dominion
against you, pouring out his contempt
upon the nobly born, I, in My turn, call
out My chosen ones, as it was My
purpose to continue expanding My
Church and progressing it, to bring
within it many of My children into glory,
it seemed to Me right to go through
sufferings and become the prototype
example for those who would follow Me
in the future and become the bone of My
Bone, the flesh of My Flesh and continue
atoning for their brothers and sisters;
I have never ceased appointing
prophets, setting them in the way of the
Truth for My Salvific Plan; I bring them
to fulfil their noble vows that had risen
to their lips at our Divine enamoured
encounter; when they allowed, in their
1
River: Holy Spirit.

Dwelling: God lives in us.

City: we are God’s city.
great love for Me, and their noble
conviction to be committed in My
Salvific Plan, I stepped forward, and
with My Royal Sceptre, I branded them
with the same marks I, Myself, was
branded, to resemble Me and turn them
into My likeness;
all those who truly accepted Me are
not ashamed of Me; nor are they
ashamed of those celestial marks
showing that they do not belong to the
world anymore; today you will recognise
them by the zeal they have for My
House, My House that dresses them, a
zeal that devours them; you will
recognise them when you see them
putting up with insults for My Sake,
calumny, spittle and persecution; yes,
for My Sake they will allow themselves
to be dragged in mire and constantly
threatened; they will not hide their face
from trouble but they will endure with
peace all the trials and their hearts shall
not be broken but sanctified; nor will
they break their vow of fidelity of
sharing My Cross;
so if you happen to notice their wounds
and you ask them: “who has made those
wounds on you?” they will all tell you:
“I have offered my back to atone for
you; these wounds you see I have
received with savagery in the house of
my Master’s friends .... it is because I
have been telling them the truth that
they made me an enemy and treated me
as such; they want to escape persecution
for the Cross of our Saviour by not
keeping the Law of Love; but it does not
matter and I give no attention to my
wounds because what is important to me
is to know about the Cross, the
Instrument of our redemption; the Cross
of our Redeemer, through whom the
world is crucified to me now and I to the
world;
