9/21/66
A terrible menace weighs on the world. Must
I hasten My hour because of you?
When the day comes, many will cry out to Me in the grip of fear. And I too shall have to ignore them. And I shall suffer still more. For can you imagine a father obliged by circumstances to repulse his unworthy children? And how can He do otherwise? Weep, My child, for the sins of the world.
You play with fire in forging murderous weapons. Woe to you if you do not stop.
The shadow of destruction hovers over the universe. If the nations are not converted, let them expect grave calamities on land, on sea and in the air. Vain and presumptuous as they are, let them take care lest when they have liberated the forces of evil, these in turn annihilate them. But I will not abandon My faithful ones.
As much as possible I avoid frightening it by speaking of My justice. What do they want? The moment is coming when I must separate the tares from the good grain. Yet a little while and all will be accomplished. For My word remains, and what must pass away will pass...
6/5/67 (War in the Middle East)
The wick is lighted. Who will extinguish it?
Tell the priests that if the world does not do penance, if it refuses to
hear My Voice, My anger will fall on it like the knife of a guillotine.
This ( the war) is a danger signal. I insist that My Message be known for
it is not for dogs. If it is accepted and put into practice, I will defer
My Justice. If not, justice will be accomplished.
I would like to save them all. But all will not be saved. Because of their perversity, alas, a portion must be given over to the fire.
6/9/67
The danger signal (The War in Middle East)
has been given, and dies away, according to My plans. But the threat continues
to exist.
If your child has done wrong, do you love him less for that?... My beloved ones,... despite My sadness I must correct you. Will you listen to Me at last?
The world will do penance in spite of itself. This penance will have a relative efficacy only, being neither desired nor accepted willingly and lovingly.
At this moment men are like war-horses given the reign and precipitating themselves headlong towards what is for them the acme of joy. Through the very excess of that joy they will come to know spiritual hunger which at present is only in their subconscious self.
My justice exacts reparation.
The Church vacillates. But My help always arrives in time, and its enemies will be confounded. In spite of appearances, believe that what I have said will be accomplished. It is when all seems lost that one perceives the only hope of salvation. At the present time, it is difficult to keep one's confidence entire. Now is the time to hold on and not to doubt.
The Church will emerge triumphant from the fight which sets its sons against its sons. From reason, reflection should be born. My people are not spared suffering...The God of Love can also be the avenging God. Let them remember My words: Woe to that man by whom the scandals ( causing someone losing his faith or soul) comes.
Truly I say to you, in spite of the love I still feel for them, My justice will be pitiless for those who rebel against My law. Scandal in the world is assuming unheard-of proportions. And for the scandal-makers My pity will give place to My justice. Their responsibilities (priests), increased by their iniquities, will bring about their eternal punishment. Losses, limited by My mercy, will, alas, be far too great. When love cannot succeed in bringing the sinner back to Me, punishment takes its place.
Think of the short time that remain before My regard falls upon you; according to your works this look will be merciful or angry.
The time is coming when the world, rent asunder by the sin I came to destroy, will become aware of its terrible sacrilege. The celestial army is at work and already a ray of hope is shining. What will be the price of victory? It will be high. Nevertheless it can be reduced by penance and the fervent prayer of little souls.
Yes, their crime is great, and yet... Shall I advance My hour for them and for those whom they pervert to their heresies? ...And MY DAY will come, THE DAY OF THE LORD. And this day will see the triumph of My justice and My love.
Remember Sodom and Gomorra. The dew of My grace falls in vain on land left waste. Pray, pray that my wrath may be appeased.... For you, My children, I postpone the day; but I do not exempt the world from it, nor that which is of the world.
This is the hour of darkness. A God is in agony and the Cross, the immense Cross is raised over the world. ... I shall show My power and shall destroy their idols. They will return to Me in repentance, those who snap their fingers at Me today, and My pity will purify them. But woe to him who will not submit to My law of love. He will be brought to nothing.
The wind of folly which is sweeping over the world will spend itself and be swallowed up in the bottomless depths from which no one returns, carrying with it those who have rebelled against My law.
This world has never ceased to disappoint its Creator. Today the measure has reached its limit: unless the world be converted it will undergo punishment for its felony. It will return to the nothingness from which I drew it. They have forgotten that they are only dust and ashes. The earth will consist only of dust and ashes. But on these ruins My love will be reborn, more vital and more luminous than ever.
The time of trial, of justice is coming. I can no longer restrain My justice. Tribulation will come also. Where love fails. will justice be able to bring back to Me those who have gone astray?
You have understood that the catastrophes occurring here and elsewhere are warnings. You have also understood that these warnings are not sufficient to save the world, for the world is blind and deaf.
At this moment My Heart is ulcerated by the massacre of innocent victims of an impious society - a society whose first duty is to protect life, sacred from the moment of its conception, but which render itself guilty of the most horrible crimes which seems to brave God's anger with impunity. The souls of these sacrificed children cry vengeance to Heaven. The inertia of many christians confronted by such unnamable horrors is for me a second agony.
My justice be appeased by the love of My little souls. Pray much, for the measure is FULL.
