Selected Extract No. 30
I Want the Marian Eucharistic Congress
From The Door To Heaven Extract #22
8-Aug-96
The Lord
DH-22
My little daughter, how much I appreciate your sacrifices because sacrifice and self-denial nourish love. How they lack
understanding of the true value of God’s gift and power on souls!
I want you to know that a long time ago, the armies of the West came seven times to My tomb looking for Me. Their
efforts were not rewarded, but this did not stop their intensive search for Me. My light opened a path through the storm
clouds aroused by the heresies that offended Me in the sixteenth century. Later the revolutionary guillotine that was
beheading My priests - heralds of the faith and ministers of the Sacraments - was powerless to put an end to the
prestige and sovereignty of the one they called infamous: Me.
But, where do I live?… In the Blessed Sacrament, that is how I have been instructing My Church and, therefore, it is not
strange that all Catholic worship revolves around this Sacrament of Love, to glorify My Father and His Son, the God-Man.
To say that Eucharistic Congresses are religious meetings held to deal with everything related to the cult of the
Eucharist, you already know this. You should know that it was a woman who, in 1881, initiated the idea and propagated it
in France with the powerful assistance of My Bishop Segur. Mrs. Tamisier was an indefatigable apostle for the work of
public worship of the Blessed Sacrament, a woman, like another woman who was the first to see Me resurrected, like
another woman whom I have now chosen to encourage people in My Love and to show them that I am there, loving them and
waiting for them…
The principal acts of these Congresses are: the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass concelebrated by the dignitaries of the
clergy; the general Communions for children, which present a beautiful spectacle since they look like small white clouds
spreading over a valley – they are like angelic choirs that fly about the altar like immaculate doves in a dove-house;
and general communions for men, who look like hardened soldiers, paying tribute to their Lord, to whom they have lodged
in the innermost depths of their souls. In these scenes of such piety, one remembers the passage of the multiplication
of the bread… The general assemblies, when renowned sacred orators and lay lecturers explain magisterially the
Eucharistic doctrine and the ways of developing devotion to My Majesty, powerfully incite attention and fervor…
Teach, My children, speak to men about My presence at the altars, tell them about My infinite Love and tell them how
much they are missing when they do not receive their God as true nourishment… Also, while making amends to Me, the
Eucharistic Congresses receive a shower of favors for the soul, body, time, eternity…
Be careful, they are going to do everything possible to suspend the Congress. Pray a lot and the convents should be
instructed in continual prayer for the success of the Congress. Happy are those who promote this sovereign worship;
happy are those who strive to make it splendid; happy are those who go to this meeting place and see and feel these
wonders. Set an example, My children, evangelize with your lives, give testimony… For men of faith, My Eucharistic form
is a gateway to Bethlehem where they adore Me, like the angels, the shepherds and the Magi. For those enlightened with
the brilliance of the faith, in each altar where sacrifice is elevated, a new Calvary is raised and with feelings of
profound adoration, those words are repeated: "Truly, here is the Son of God."
The abandonment of the visits to My Sacrament of Love, the scarcity of communions, the excessive regard for other
people’s opinions for which many are embarrassed to approach the table of the angels, arises from a lack of faith. Because if they would realize, if they were told with conviction that the infinite Majesty of their God - with His
exalted courtiers - resides in their temples, men would be anxious, desirous and solicitous to merit the honor and
happiness of speaking, receiving and living with their Lord.
Where can we find the remedy for this faltering or lukewarm faith? In the same Form, because it sustains and increases
faith. It is virtue that infuses supernatural faith, grace that is the root and foundation of justification, grace that
comes with the sacraments and you increase with the reception of them. Nevertheless, if the faithful observe that the
priest is a routine celebrant, if they do not notice true fervor and humility at the moment of the Consecration, they
will find it hard to believe that this will increase their faith.
Speak about the blind man of Jericho, who not only received the gift of sight but the first thing he saw was Me. Also,
in the healing of another blind man, note that the strength of his vision increased as his faith increased; in a similar
manner, as men receive communion, they get to know Me more intimately and listen from the depths of their hearts to My
supreme teachings. I, being the Teacher, increase the light in the minds of those who receive Me, so that they can
penetrate more into the profundity of My doctrine. This doctrine, a seed from Heaven, can fall, as I have indicated,
sometimes on fertile soil and will produce a hundred to one, at other times on the road and others among bramble and
thorns… Therefore, this growth of faith - sometimes subjective and sometimes objective - depends largely on their
cooperation with grace.
Happy are My Apostles, who after their first communion at the Cenacle said: Now we understand everything You tell us…
Happy, doubting Thomas, who touching My wounds burst forth into an intense act of faith and love. Happy are the
disciples of Emmaus, who recognized the pilgrim as the One who lit their hearts… Happy are the poor and ignorant,
according to the world, who through continual contact with Me have learned celestial knowledge, the knowledge which
communicates faith, strengthened by the reception of the sacred banquet. These privileged beings not only have faith,
but live justly, acquiescing in practice to My orders. Blessed are they! More blessed still are those whose faith in My
Sacrament has been rewarded with miracles.
EXTRACT ENDS…
EDITOR’S NOTE: Through the rest of 2002, Scoop will be publishing a series of daily reflections on spiritual matters from Bolivian
author Katya Rivas. Rivas, has received an official imprimatur from the Catholic Church for several books she says she
was instructed to write by Jesus Christ, Mary and various Angels. Scoop’s extract, above, comes from Rivas’s book “The
Door to Heaven”. In 1999 Katya Rivas was the subject of a top-rating documentary show hosted by Mike Willessee (see
Scoop TV review - Jesus Christ Tells FOXNews He Wants To Hug World and Scoop Images ). More recently Rivas says she was instructed by Jesus to have her books translated and published on the internet with
the intention of having the books distributed to as wide an audience as possible. Several of the books can now be read
online at http://www.greatcrusade.org/, and more are coming soon. In August 2002 Rivas visited Wellington New Zealand and met with Scoop Editor Alastair
Thompson. See… Scoop Feature: Jesus's Secretary Visits Wellington
