Deut 4, 1. 5-9; Ps 147(148); Mt 5, 17-19.

Translated audio

In the recent reflections, we talked about the Holy Spirit and His action. We also heard the words of God the Father1, who told us to allow the Holy Spirit to act freely within us, to form no ideas, no concepts, but rather to listen while He is acting. We said, and I repeat it now, that His words are addressed to people, to a people, whose main goal and choice and wish is “to know the Father and the One whom the Father has sent.”2

The words of the Father are addressed to a people, to those who have made this life-choice: “Jesus is the Lord of my life. I offer my life to Him because I want Him to guide me through this life towards returning to the Father and discovering what it means to be children of God.” They truly put God in the first place. These words cannot be understood, accepted and put into practice by those who do not have this attitude. And having this attitude does not mean being perfect or holy or without sin; on the contrary. I wish we were like this!

Jesus said: “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Mt 9, 9-13). It is not a matter of how we act, of the mistakes we may have committed or perhaps still commit, but of the profound desire to give direction to life, orienting everything towards the One who is life: Jesus Christ. In Him, everything finds its right place. So, this comes first, and afterwards everything else, such as work, and the need to nourish and clothe ourselves and the family. We want to be people who have done this: “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Mt 6, 9).

I feel that it is important to reiterate these things because only in this way does the Word of God truly descend into us and give way to the action of the Holy Spirit, which leads to the comprehension of the Word of God. Therefore, the Word of God is nourishment, the Word of God is life; it is everything. It springs from the vortex that elevates us and detaches us from everything that harms us in a continuous process.

Now, I would like to read out a part of Jesus’ words, which will help you in this process. Let us listen:

You said you want to follow in my footsteps. I am happy with this, and I ask you to do it. I open the path, and precisely because I open the path, you need not fear. Whoever follows Me, always knows the way and always knows it from within. However, I want to tell you that the newness you are waiting for is already within you. The Kingdom of God is within you. The real newness of these times is the transformation of your life. The real newness is the transformation of the people because nothing can speak to the world other than the transformation of a people.

Now, the work I am accomplishing within you, in the Holy Spirit, is very important because this internal transformation must become your external work, and you will not need many words or many actions because the newness of your life will speak for itself.

I told you, and you have been told, and I repeat to you today, that we are in a time of assessing your actions. You must evaluate what you have done in your life, be happy with the good you have done, and deliver to Me everything that you have not managed to do. Give Me your limits and your sins and move forward in looking inside yourselves and at what needs to be changed, because it begins from your transformation that I will transform the world. I repeat: I will not do it without you.

Your transformation on Earth will also be the transformation of the entire Church of the Universe and vice versa. Then, the powerful action of the Holy Spirit will pass from spirit to spirit and will renew everything, renew the face of the Universe.

Therefore, I bless you and encourage you. I tell you that this may even make you suffer at certain moments. However, You must not be afraid of this suffering, because it will be purifying suffering through which everything you have built upon foundations such as yourselves, the world, or the devil must disappear. Everything must be burned in the fire of the Holy Spirit; everything must be consumed in this fire, and this fire will thus become light for your life and for the lives of others.

I bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
