It Is Not Enough to Fast on Bread and Water

Jesus
(By command from Jesus and Mary, I said my evening rosary for reparation for the priests who have abandoned the Church
and Jesus.)
Oh, little daughter, some day everyone will see the interminable and burning chain to which My priestly sons are chained
for having changed the confessional, site of mercy, to a place of sinfulness. These priestly souls in Hell curse
incessantly the confessional with sorrowful screams, remembering the sins they once committed there.
Now I want to speak to you about faith. The life of every man comes from one of God’s breaths and that breath is the
soul that supports life. If God touches the soul, He finds Himself, because the body is only a vehicle. When God finds
Himself in a soul, the soul feels that the body no longer exists. That is why in the moment of communion My Body and
Blood are in you. I live in you and you in Me.
Through Baptism, everyone is able to obtain the grace to experience God in one’s life. The devil is not capable of
knowing what happens between man and God, because he cannot read thoughts. He is so astute that by only observing a
person he tries to guess by the facial expression what the person is thinking. If he reads evil in the person’s look, he
is certain that victory is his.
The best way for our hearts to unite is by loving Me. I want to give you great graces, but you must renounce many
material things. You should use material things as if they did not exist, or as if their only end were to help you unite
yourself even more to Me. When we will be united in love, your life and everything that you need, will be My
responsibility; because of this love, this union, what is Mine is also yours.
Fasting is another thing about which I want to inform you. It is not enough to fast on bread and water. Fasting must
also include the abstinence of anger, gossip and transgressions because, without this, your fasting and your prayers
will be in vain and I will not listen even if you pray with outstretched arms. Frequently your lips are still wet with
My Blood at Communion and, nevertheless, you hurt Me, offend Me and for that reason your fasting does not have the
desired effect.
I gave you, for all life, the pain in your hands and feet, in a light way, compared to My pain. It does not matter that
your nature is against the pain, what is important in My eyes is that you carry these pains with love. Bless and glorify
Me for this, like you will for all eternity. While you feel the pain, your heart will rise towards Me, and while your
heart is with Me, you will not feel the pain. You can prove to Me that you really love Me if you accept these sufferings
from My Divine hand. Lovingly receive pains caused by the nails.

EDITOR’S NOTES: Through the rest of 2003, 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
Great Crusade of Love”. Readers can sign up to recieve daily extracts from Katya Rivas's writings by email at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dailykatya/
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
