Beloved one, why did you give that photocopy of the evangelizing teachings to that Priest? Did I not tell you to give them only to those whom I revealed you to? I do not like you to be disobedient, you are beginning to dispose of My things at your will and the only thing I want to do is to protect you, to teach you, to make you something special... Please do not commit again any indiscretions of this kind. There are things that are for any human being, but there are other things that I want only for My chosen ones, other people perhaps would not understand what seems incomprehensible to their human eyes...

Many people believe that great things must be done to receive the merit of My Graces and do not think that it is quite the opposite: it is mainly in ordinary, simple tasks that you will receive My Graces. Not because you deserve them, but because they are given to you by My infinite Love.

I want you to know that the mysticism of My Love comes from man’s imperfection, and you, as a human being, are imperfect; but also by being imperfect, human beings become saints by My Grace. When you recognize the sin and repent, I give the grace of purification... When you achieve spirituality in your souls, it is because My Spirit has granted it, it is intimacy with your God, and to achieve that intimacy, you just have to love and obey Me.

There will always be people who will contradict or oppress you; fear no words or actions of anybody. I am your Lord and your God, you must trust and be sure of only Me. I allow certain things to happen so you will grow in humility, but evil also takes care of taking advantage of the moment to place there frustrations that are not firmly founded... Do not allow people to take advantage of you, but be kind and express humbly the grief they cause you...

Smile, My beloved one, do not disobey again. Your spirit is completely free when it joyfully sings love songs. Cast aside anything standing in the way of receiving My Graces. Learn from your mistake, ask Me for forgiveness with sincere regret and go on, do not block My Grace destined for you.

If you put Me first, you will perceive My Love as the most important value in your life... That is enough; do not cry, My Love will tame your weakness and your habits and mistaken behaviors. I do not want you to be like some of My children who have deprived themselves of ascending to a purer inner state and, on the contrary, have been trapped, building around themselves a cocoon, without reaching the freedom that doing My Will grants.

The Writings of Katya Rivas

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.
