You Are the Apostles of Your Time

Message of Jesus of 8 January 2017 – Baptism of the Lord

27 January 2017

“My dear children,

To give you My Blessing is right today because you want to renew the promises of your baptism. Every time you do this, your mission starts again from the beginning. Renewing the promises of baptism means renewing your whole spiritual life; your life in God is renewed and the strength of your mission is also renewed; in essence, your ‘Yes’ to God is renewed.

Children, your ‘yes’ must be continuously renewed because the world and the spirit of the world seek to suffocate it. However, the Holy Spirit intercedes for you. He is the Defender who defends you from evil and always puts you in the condition to renew your ‘yes’. Therefore, on this day, I bless you, and I bless your mission so that it is renewed in spirit and strength.

In the past year, we have walked our path together intensively. I needed to prepare you for this time, and today I send you out, on the day you celebrate My Baptism, because My public mission began with My Baptism. The Spirit descended upon Me, and everyone heard the voice of the Father.[1] Today, I renew all the gifts I have placed within you from the moment of your baptism until now.

Today’s first reading made you understand the mission of the prophet Isaiah.[2] It is also the mission of each of you: all of you are prophets, apostles and ministers of My Salvation. I have anointed you so that you bring My Life to the world. When I say world, I mean the entire universe but, above all, the Earth because it is here I called you to live. I love this Earth and this humanity even though this humanity does not love Me. I descended upon Earth to love you and to teach you to love. Many have rejected Me and continue to reject Me even now. Nevertheless, I will continue to love My children of the Earth through you. You will be My Love. Your hands will be My hands, and you will lay them on the sufferings of this humanity. You will be My eyes to see and discern the light from the darkness and to show the path of the light to many. You will be My heart to love, and you will also be My wounded heart, pierced for this humanity and for all rebellious children of the universe.

Go out with all My strength and I will always accompany you. I repeat to you what I said to My Apostles: ‘Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.’[3] The Father loves you because you love Me. The Holy Spirit loves you because you love Me. I love you because you are My children, My people, and because I have redeemed you.

You are the apostles of your times, deeply united with the Central Nucleus, which is the Apostolic College of these times. All of you are apostles, but first, you are My disciples. A disciple is someone who learns from his Master; therefore, I tell you: ‘Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart.’[4] Now more than ever I repeat to you what I said to the apostles and disciples: ‘I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.’[5] However, I will not send you out alone, and the wolf will not be able to harm you; the thief of souls will not steal you; no one will snatch you from My Hands.

My children, go out in My Name. Speak about Me to all those who await Me. I will be with you until the end of days. I love you, I bless you and I protect you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
