Unite Yourselves to Me as I Am United to You

CL-91
18-Jan-96
Jesus

I value in you the union to My sufferings more than any other of your works. Because apart from all of the beauty you acquire upon uniting yourself to My merits, you must consider that the unity produced because of love is very effective proof that the same merits with which you adorn yourself have produced the main fruit that I wished for: My Love in you.

It will be best for Me to show you how you must behave when I unite you noticeably to My sorrows and above all, explain to you which are your sorrows that unite you to My sorrows.

You try to make a distinction between normal sorrows and above normal sorrows. You make two categories: your sorrows and My sorrows; common things and extraordinary things. You are wrong in thinking like that.

I became man precisely because you and everyone had to see that I, like you, wanted to experience the common sorrows as well as My personal ones. Remember My trembling upon passing the funeral procession of Naim; remember Lazarus already buried; reflect on the crowd that followed Me to the mount and had nothing to eat; reflect on the apostles' condescension about their material needs. Reflect, especially, how I took great pains to give My Mother a son that would take My place, even if materially, since I was leaving her alone in the world. It is true that in each of these actions I based Myself on affirming high concepts, divine truths, supernatural power, and My ultimate mission; yet the truth remains that I acted as man before I acted like God, as Redeemer.

In Cana I told My Mother that My hour had not yet come; nevertheless, sympathizing with the need for the banquet to have the desired ending, I complied with something that was not very necessary, but I did it because of the pity I experienced in seeing the urgency of the husband's family.

So then, in My behavior I nourished those feelings and therefore those sorrows that all honest men experience facing pain and needs, and I did it on purpose, to make known to you, in full evidence, My real being of a man like you.

Consequently, you too should act this way and unite them to Me as I was united to you. One does not think too much of this; one believes more in extraordinary things, and forgets the ordinary. On the other hand, he who does not allow the ordinary things to pass inadvertently will become worthy of the extraordinary and not vice versa.

And I am here, with My sorrows in you, My sorrow which are an actual participation of pains suffered by Me, and resulting spiritual anguishes for human Redemption. What you call memory is not a human thing but rather like an engraving that I have previously placed in your mind. To reflect and to act in the plain of My sorrows is not a natural thing for it adapts to your humanity only as a result of My Desire. But besides memory, you will experience sudden sorrows, due to occasional deeds, and these are not human deeds but things truly divine. And then if, without making use of anything, I work directly in you, do not entertain any doubts because it is clearly My Will in union with My sorrows.

Thus it is left clear as much as it concerns suffering for Me, be it now in the natural state or in the supernatural. For that reason, do not leave out anything of what I offer you, because everything is desired by Me. Do not affirm yourself in the creatures, because the Creator moves them. Do not linger over human things, yours or somebody else's, because you receive them all to give you greater union.

This is the school of suffering and in this school you progress. Learn from Me, from your Teacher who allows you each time to better experience how much He loves you…

Please, My children, accelerate on the second book, you are not putting in it the necessary interest to spread it quickly. Will I have to forget about your urgent concerns?

The Great Crusade of Love and Mercy

Each year as an part of an observance of Lent Scoop.co.nz publishes a serialisation of Katya Rivas's book "The Passion".

Katya Rivas's work was the subject of a documentary made in 1999 by Australian's Ron Tesoriero and Mike Willissee called "Signs from God" ( read a review here ). In the same year the then Bishop of Buenos Aires Jorge Bergoglio - now Pope Francis - requested a scientific investigation of a remarkable and unexplained phenomena involving a discarded host which had started to bleed. In 2013 Ron Tesoriero published a book "Unseen : New Evidence" which addresses what happened with this investigation and its implications for the quest to discover the origin of life.
