Jer 11, 18-20; Ps 7; Jn 7, 40-53

Translated audio

We are approaching Easter. The Readings, the Gospel, are taking us with Jesus to His preparation for the Easter Triduum, to the last words He announced in the temple to everyone.

In yesterday’s and in today’s Gospel, I am touched by how the people listen and ask themselves questions. Jesus’ words touch them; even the Roman guards remark, “No one has ever spoken like this man.”[1] However, people remained rooted in their thoughts, always looking for confirmations, which they could have found in the Scriptures or somewhere else. Therefore, they said, “He does not come from Bethlehem,” and yet, He was born in Bethlehem; “He cannot come from Galilee,” but He came from Judea. Thus, they searched only superficially, on a human level, seeking human confirmations. Did any of the religious leaders perhaps believe Him? They always preferred to delegate to someone else the greatest responsibility of their life: recognising the Messiah, the Son of God.

It touched me because I think that this has happened repeatedly over the centuries. The Marian apparitions have suffered the same fate: people have been waiting for someone to recognise them: Our Lady appeared, She spoke to us and we waited for someone else to tell us. And I say that the Lord comes to lead us and open our minds to the Scriptures through the prophets, the writings and some people, and thus we perceive that they bring the truth; yet, they are not recognised by the religious heads so that we, too, end up renouncing. It is terrible!

It is terrible because, within us, each of us is able to recognise what does come from God and what does not. This ability is given together with life, because, if it were not so, God would not be just. If He had not given each of us this ability, God would not be just; but He is just, He is Love. Each of us knows how to discern; each of us is touched by Him.

If we have said “yes” at the time of our conception, we are able to recognise the voice of God, and then we have to decide what we choose. Choosing God’s voice, those words, has a price, but there is also a reward. The price is losing our life; the reward is eternal life. Sorry, I know that I am going a bit fast. However, if we wanted to live according to the spirit and mindset of the world and its leaders, we are probably offered a simpler life, but only in appearance; we also risk losing eternal life or, at least, postponing it by remaining in Purgatory. Above all, we lose the joy of immediately tasting the Lord, the joy of immediately embracing Him, who will be our joy and our Spouse for eternity.

We know that John Paul II led the Church into the third millennium and that he had a very specific task. We know that in 2004, the Lord, watching the situation of the Earth and the lack of a positive response, formed the Central Nucleus and gave it a task. He formed it and began to prepare His Church, which had always been in the catacombs but must now come to light through an ordinary instrument. He gave time until 2012 for the presence of faithful brothers in the Universe to be announced. This was to allow the Church to be one, until 2012, led by the Church of the Earth, led by the Pope, but united with all others to reach completion, because we have known for two thousand years that Jesus came to bring completion; however, it will only occur at His glorious return. Until then, there will be no completion; He cannot say: “Everything is finished”. He said it on the Cross: “It is finished”,[2] when He had completed His work on Earth, as the Son of Man; then, He gave up His spirit.

In 2012, as we know, the official Church did not make this announcement, and continues not to do it, and the powerful continue to hide this truth. But God cannot stop because only a few have responded, and He does not abandon His little ones, the last, those who believe, who wait and suffer; thus, He has moved forward. History has changed. This does not mean that He eliminated or judged anyone. He simply divided those who want Him from those who prefer to listen to the leaders. I say this in the context of today’s Gospel. If you want to listen to the leader, go with the leader. Choose your leader; but who is it? Is it Jesus Christ or is it someone else? What I wanted to say is that from 2012 to now, twelve years have passed. It may seem like a short time, but how many things the Lord has done in these twelve years! Indeed, we must consider it from the perspective that His true Church has moved forward; the true Church has worked.

Next year there will be the jubilee. The Lord is here in His second coming. Not listening to His voice, which speaks to everyone and in many ways, means losing grace again. The loyalty that is asked of us is even more demanding because time passes quickly. Every word now has weight. He entered silence, which is not silence: He has changed the way He speaks and acts; He is in action even more powerfully in the Holy Spirit because, by now, the decisive choices have been made by the people; the clear division has been made. Now His work unfolds within us and it is a subtle one.

I believe that in this Lent, and even before, we experience it in everything that comes to the surface, in everything that takes place, but it is all God’s work, and all of it is positive. It is a complete transformation that happens within us.

How can I discern His voice? By recognising the fruits. What does remaining faithful to His voice produce in us? The transformation in which we realise that we are becoming new men and new women, who have a renewed mind; a new, ever greater love for God and others; a new desire to surrender more and more and a true desire to be one with the Lord. Whoever follows this voice is following God.

Be careful not to think, “I am only following God if I truly become a saint”. It is the desire that makes the difference because it is not us but the Lord who transforms us into new human beings. We must not transform ourselves in our image but according to the mind of God. We can participate with a continuous “yes” to God, but we cannot force ourselves to be like Saint Francis, for example. I am not Saint Francis and it is not right that I become like him. I am talking about myself but it applies to each of us.

it is not difficult to recognise whether we are deceived. If we look at all our writings, where do they take us? To love God, to understand the Bible, to better understand the words of the Gospel, to recognise the messages of Medjugorje. They give us many ideas, and we wish we could save everything and everyone. Don’t you think that this is positive?

God brings good. If He were someone else, He would not lead us to offer our lives for the love of humanity. Do you think that Lucifer wants the same? Does he want some people to offer their lives for the salvation of humanity? On the contrary, he wants to have people who destroy humanity, and to them, He offers many gifts, human skills, intelligence, and cunning. He helps them become important and rich figures. He certainly never gives anyone the desire to offer their lives for the salvation of humanity.

Discernment is easy. If the heads have not been able to discern, it is because they do not want to. It is because they openly do not want to believe, change their lives and be saved. This is also written in the Gospel: they want to remain what they are, as they said about Jeremiah: “Let us test what will happen at the end of his life; for if the righteous man is God’s child, he will help him.”[3] Indeed, we are in the same situation: they do it with those who announce God now, just as the Pharisees and the religious leaders did. Did, perhaps, some of the leaders believe? “But this crowd, which does not know the law—they are accursed.”[4]

Those who do not know God, unfortunately, curse themselves, not the Law. The Law does not save, it is Jesus Christ who saves. Saint Paul says it. The Law can be a help, but it does not save. “If you put yourself under the Law, you are under condemnation”, says Saint Paul, “If you believe in the salvation of the Law, you are already condemned”, because it is Jesus Christ who saves you.

We are close to Easter with this desire and with the awareness of the times we live in. Without wanting to scare you, time must have an end. When Christ returns in glory, time, as we know it, will end and a new time will come. Halleluia. We invoke it continuously in the Mass: “May Your Kingdom come and Your glorious return!” Only for this reason, does our being here on this Earth make sense.

Let us give thanks to God. We entrust again our lives to the Blessed Virgin Mary. I entrust Europe to Mary in this particular moment; I entrust to Her the elections taking place in Russia, and; I entrust all the events that occur on this Earth: the war in Palestine and all wars. I entrust to Mary all innocents, all martyrs, all aborted children, all those who are not accepted, all those who are persecuted, imprisoned, even killed because of their thoughts. May our Most Blessed Mother Mary collect all the pain caused by this humanity and bring it to the altar of God so that it becomes a blessing for all the good that is done; a blessing for all those who offer their lives to God and for those who accompany Jesus Christ on His path here on Earth, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and and of the Holy Spirit.
