Foreword

On January 25, 1996, after 15 days' work, Catalina concludes this "dictation". As the reader can verify (CL-182), Jesus asks His "secretary" to call this manuscript "The Great Crusade of Love".

Our Lord justifies the need for this "Crusade" because "the time of charity has turned cold in the world" and considers that "it is time to renew it all..."

To help us collaborate with His task, He has dictated to His humble servant a "text of Love and Mercy" and asks us to study and meditate on these messages in order to "live" them later on. This mutual understanding will help us to be collaborators in this "Crusade". "... Make haste to send them to the prayer groups that have been formed ... it is the Voice that will have to summon the assembly."

It is His wish that the messages should reach the humble, the poor, the imprisoned, the sick, the needy, the religious, and non-religious. "Do not keep My Messages of Love and forgiveness locked up in a drawer ... Speak out, act ... I could make My Messages reach the most remote places of the world and My Angels would be My messengers, as they did so many times with the first books ... but I want your cooperation" (CL-182). He finishes by mentioning that after reading these pages, many will say, "Truly, this is the Son of God".

1. Jesus tells Catalina that only 150 copies are to be printed; for He will make sure that the messages reach the world (CL-183). For this your help is needed. If you have had the grace of receiving one of these volumes, we beg you to do what is possible to make them known to other people ... You can talk to people about them, or if you wish, photocopy the text for other people, who in turn can do the same.

2. "I want everything that I tell you made known" (CL-183). "I come to you for a reciprocation of love, to open My Heart like a passionate lover that does not know how to live but for the beloved ... I want to show you My Heart in all its sensitiveness."

3. We are warned: "Take heed, My children, it is the hour of darkness. Satan, jealous, tries to prevent the publication of My Messages; but have confidence. That which is human must mix with the Divine." "It is time to manifest to the world the anguish in My Heart. Do not withdraw from Me. We are in intimate conversation."

4. "You will have to drink with Me some drops from the bitter cup of Gethsemane, tasting the ingratitude of humanity. Since I chose you to be My spokesperson, each day I must mold your heart to conform to Mine. My daughter, there is a great difference between the Heart of your God and that of men. To do what is right, and in return receive nothing but ingratitude ..." (CL-183). "Never displease your God, never troubling your parents is something beautiful" (CL-183).

5. The fundamental subjects of the Messages invite us to conversion, prayer, the Rosary, penance, communion, fasting with the body and the soul. But they acquire a splendor for this Crusade, His Messages dedicated to Love and Mercy, Jesus as only Son of the living God, Obedience, Suffering, Unity. In addition, they include messages for priests and members of religious orders.

6. The task is enormous: He wants to reach the whole world with 150 copies ...! If you have received one of them ... will you say yes to Jesus? May God bless and inspire your 'yes' in light of one of His Messages - "He who loves Me ... has My strength!"

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.
