Do Not Be ungrateful Before So Much Grace
14-Dec-96
The Lord
DH-90

Beloved one, let us work a bit more on your preparation for Christmas Eve. Thank you for your weeping... Tears of compassion shed while contemplating My unutterable sufferings in the work of redemption, will dissolve your pride and cure you of your unfounded self-pity. It is that love grateful for My Passion and for the sufferings I bore for you, that becomes the capacity to share My Love and My pain for all men.

Thus, when a heart joins My Heart in the passages of My earthly life, it becomes My compassionate and active disciple from the depth of its soul. Remember that zeal for souls can only arise from amazement. Remember the passage in Matthew when he speaks of Levi, the publican: as soon as I invited him to follow Me, he prepared a great banquet full of sinners and publicans. Consider this, Levi did not think that he was better than the other sinners and since he was invited by Me, I would surely not reject any of the others. He wanted the others to share the joy of knowing Me.

Now, meditate. My goodness made Me wait for you and save your life when you had fallen into misfortune; My compassion enlightened you and invited you to forgiveness; it gave you repentance, the desire to love Me and now you are in My Grace... Pray for wisdom and strength so as not to be ungrateful before so much Grace. Reflect deeply on My Love for you...

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.
