Earlier we spoke about Purgatory[1] and about how to live in communion with the souls in Purgatory. We also spoke of the love that flows between us and them and how this love, under normal circumstances, is a grace that enables us to enter into this love and allow it to liberate both us and the souls from wrong thoughts, attitudes, fears, and habits that are not helpful for our path towards God the Father.

Today we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. We know that Baptism is obligatory to enter into the light of Heaven and to quickly begin the process of returning to God the Father. In the book Beyond the Great Barrier[2], it is written how He helps us to better understand the graces, namely Baptism and how to baptise in the Holy Spirit and fire those who did not receive it here during their earthly life, or on another planet, always through the immense gift of God’s mercy.

Let us try to understand together what Baptism is. We know that it is the grace of Redemption; we know that it is the Blood of Jesus that takes away original sin. Jesus says to the Father: “Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.”[3] Thus, He gives us once again the grace to resume the path to God the Father, the grace to return to being children of God.

In Baptism, everything that we received in the moment of conception, when we stood before God the Father, is reawakened within us, and we receive the confirmation that our life is buried in Christ.[4] Thus, we are washed; our eyes, mouth, and hearing are anointed with oil to awaken within us all the energy of the light and the Word of God, which we must listen, proclaim, live, and bear witness to in order to reactivate the grace and the energy, which was present at our conception, before the covenant between the Father and us was broken through original sin.

You see that everything is part of the path to the Father. Baptism is the very beginning and the fundamental part of this path, which is then sustained by the sacraments, the Eucharist, prayer, and our desire to encounter the Father. We are given the grace to be liberated through Christ’s Sacrifice: He came to free the prisoners[5], to free us from the influence of the evil one, and to free us from the darkness into which we entered by breaking the covenant with the Father.

We lost our memory; we no longer understood where we were or who we were, as we were immersed in darkness. But Jesus frees us from all that prevents us from knowing the Father. This is because, through the covenant we had with the Father before breaking it, we were in communion with Him. Without the intervention of Jesus, through His work of Redemption, the Father could no longer enter into communion with us. Not only could we not be with Him, but He could not be with us either. He who is love, purity, and light could not unite Himself with us. Therefore, the Sacrifice of Jesus was necessary.

These graces are restored to us at Baptism to give us the possibility to renew the covenant between the Father and us, through Jesus: this is the new covenant. These graces must be nourished; they must be helped to grow; yet this does not happen magically. We are given the seed, but it must be sustained by our response so that this seed may grow. It must be developed along our path and in our life. To attain this, we must offer our life to God, not as a sacrifice or a burden but as a gift to the Father, through Jesus and through Mary’s Immaculate Heart. It must become what we truly desire to live: placing at the centre the return to the Father, the knowledge of the Father and of the One whom the Father sent, for life is this: to know the Father.[6] With Baptism, this path begins.

Therefore, we can say that the graces we receive require our participation. They liberate us from all that depresses us and prevents us from elevating ourselves to God. Through the new covenant that we establish with God through Jesus, we too must always choose the Father anew, rejecting the world; we must choose to elevate ourselves, to seek God, to desire to know Him, taking every chance, regarding all we possess – materially and concretely – that our life offers to us here on Earth, beginning from life, seeking only to know the Father, for all the rest is not necessary.

Look, original sin is one: breaking the covenant. However, if we do not commit ourselves to living the new covenant with Jesus – Baptism and the graces you receive – we commit again original sin, because we break that covenant once more. So, by breaking that covenant again, we return to the darkness, we return to not understanding, we return to being unable to comprehend either God’s mind or His will, and thus fail to live immersed in the primary energy and love, because in doing so we break the covenant. Jesus is always faithful, but if our faithfulness fades, the covenant between Him and us is broken.

Consequently, offering our life to God through the Immaculate Heart of Most Holy Mary is the only protection we have. This is because, in order to keep this new covenant with God, we need to place our entire life in the Heart of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary so that She may continually offer it to Jesus, and Jesus to the Father. There is no other way; none of us can keep the covenant with God without going through this stage.

Therefore, let us allow the Holy Spirit to help us live our Baptism fully during this week.

God bless you, and I bless you too, in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit.
