Be Worthy of Your Task

Message of St. Francis of Assisi of 4 October 2020

“Dearest brothers and sisters in Christ, peace be with you! I want to accompany you towards the new creation like a father and a brother. You have been told that your path is Marian and Franciscan, and these two aspects are inseparable.

My love for the Mother of God guided me on my whole path. I was fully immersed in the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
No spiritual path can come forth from the will of a person, no matter how virtuous; it is always God’s initiative to call a person, and then the person responds. Nevertheless, human beings are weak, thus their response is often uncertain and fearful, and this is the point when the Heavenly Mother begins to act. Her pure and immaculate Love envelops those who have been chosen by God and helps them respond. Her hand supports them and shows them the right steps to take. She intercedes for them, comforts, encourages and blesses them. Every true vocation is born from God’s call and from the Mother’s womb; the calling is embodied in those who respond and thus becomes a work of God, visible to the eyes of man.

This is how Franciscanism came forth: from God’s call, from the Blessed Mother’s Heart and from my response. I was the smallest among people. I had no merits, but God called me and I allowed Him to change my thoughts and my life. That was my conversion.

After my conversion, I spent a long time in solitude and prayer to understand what the will of God was. None of the already existing paths seemed right to me. I did not intend to become a priest or a friar, even less I wanted to found a new religious Order. I only wanted to belong to Christ through the Mother of God, living a simple life as a child of God, according to the Gospel and in harmony with creation. I was not a bizarre dreamer, as many thought; on the contrary, I wanted to be a concrete man, capable of fulfilling my vocation. I sensed that I had to open up a new path, simple but also demanding.

The Lord helped me by showing me His will. During the time of solitude, I was visited by the Archangels, especially by Saint Michael, who gave me great revelations about life in the Universe and about the mission of the Church. Thus, I learned that I had more brothers and sisters on other planets. I believed in their existence, I welcomed them in my heart and I loved them.

After receiving the explanations of the Archangels, I was visited both physically and spiritually by the brothers and sisters of the Universe who were faithful to God. They explained many things to me about their life, their service to God, and their relationship with the living beings that are different from humans. The communion with them lasted all my earthly life, and it was for me a source of incredible joy as well as spiritual growth. I did not speak about all this to anyone, even my own friars. I waited until the time was ripe to reveal all this.

To help me in my path, God put an extraordinary woman at my side, Saint Clare, with whom I shared everything. She was also visited and instructed like me, for together we had to accomplish the work of proclaiming to the Church, based on the revelations given to us, the great plan God had predetermined from eternity, which was to reunite the whole Universe in Christ a plan that you know very well.
