Katya Rivas' Passion : God The Father
Extract 24
Jesus
I see My Son, trembling in the shadows of Gethsemane, coming down from Heaven and taking the shape and substance of My
creature, who thought and still thinks he can rebel against his Creator. The man, that lonely and confused man, is the
designated victim, and as such, with His own Blood, has had to cleanse all of humanity which He represents. He trembles
and is horrified at feeling Himself covered, even seeing Himself dominated, by the inconceivable mass of sins that had
to be taken from the darkened consciences of millions and millions of dirty creatures.
Poor Son of Mine, Love has taken You to this and now you are frightened by it. Who should Glorify You in Heaven when,
radiantly, you come back to it? Can any creature give You praise worthy of You, love worthy of You? And what is the
praise and love of man, of millions of men, in comparison with the Love in which You have accepted the most tremendous
of tests that could ever exist on earth? No, My beloved Son, nobody but Your Father could equal You in Love, nobody but
I, who in My Spirit of Love, can praise and Love You for Your sacrifice that night.
You have reached, beloved Son of Mine in whom I rest all My benevolence, the spasm of death by surviving the very bitter
agony in the Garden. You have reached, in the sphere of Your humanity real and whole, the height of the great passion
that a human heart can have: to suffer for the offences done to Me, but to suffer for them with the purest and intense
Love that there is in You. Trembling, You have reached the limit through which humanity should reach complete
Redemption. You, beloved Son, have conquered with a bloody sweat, not only Your brothers’ souls, but even more, Your own
personal Glory that should elevate You, man, equal with Me, God like You.
You have drawn in Me the most perfect Justice, and the most perfect Love. At that time they represented the dregs of the
world, and You became it through Your voluntary and free acceptance. You are now, among all, My honor, glory, and joy.
You were not My offender, not You. You have always been My Beloved Son, in whom I have placed My pleasures. You were not
the dregs because even then I saw You as You have always been: My Light, My Word, that is, Myself. Son, You, who
trembled and succumbed for My honor, deserved that your Father make You known to the world, to that blind world, which
offends Us and even then is so loved by Us!
O, Beloved Son, I see You and will always see You in that night of Your bitterness, and I have You always in mind!
Because of Your love I am reconciled to the creatures and with the creatures. You could not raise Your face to Me; it
was so covered with their faults. Now, to please You, I make them raise their faces to Us so that by a glimpse of Your
Light, they remain captives of Our Love.
Now, My Son, always so beloved, I will do what I told You then in the shadow of Gethsemane, and they will be great
things to give You joy and honor.
