GRM 5.8-9.11-12
The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
5.8 Come and read Her glories in the Book of the Ancestor. “God possessed me at the beginning of His works, from the beginning, before the Creation. From everlasting I was firmly set, in the beginning, before earth came into being, the deep did not yet exist and I was already conceived. The springs did not yet gush with water and the mountains had not yet risen in their huge masses, neither were the hills jewels in the sun, when I came to birth. God had not yet made the earth, the rivers and the foundations of the world, and I was there. When He prepared the Heavens I was present, when with immutable laws He enclosed the deep under the surface, when He fixed the Heavens firm and He suspended the springs of water there, when He assigned the sea its boundaries and gave laws to the waters, when He ordered the waters not to invade the shore, when He laid down the foundations of the earth, I was with Him arranging everything. I always played joyfully in His presence, I played in the universe…” You applied these words to Wisdom, but they speak of Her: the beautiful Mother, the holy Mother, the Virgin Mother of Wisdom that I am and Who is now speaking to you.
5.9 I wanted you to write the first line of the song at the top of the book that speaks of Her, so that She might be contemplated and the consolation and joy of God might be known; the reason for the constant, perfect, intimate delight of this God One and Triune, Who rules and loves you and Who received from man so many reasons for being sad; the reason why He perpetuated the human race, even when, at the first test, humanity deserved to be destroyed; the reason for the forgiveness you have received.
To have Mary that loved Him! Oh! It was well worth while creating Man and allowing him to exist and decreeing to forgive him, to have the Beautiful Virgin, the Holy Virgin, the Immaculate Virgin, the Loving Virgin, the Beloved Daughter, the Most Pure Mother, the Loving Spouse! God has given you so much and would have given you even more to possess the Creature of His delight, the Sun of His sun, the Flower of His garden. And He continues to give you so much on account of Her, at Her request, for Her joy, because Her joy flows into the joy of God and increases it with flashes that fill the light, the great light of Paradise with brilliant sparkles and every sparkle is a grace to the universe, to mankind, to the blessed souls who reply with a jubilant cry of alleluia to each generation of divine miracle, created by the desire of the Blessed Trinity to see the sparkling smile of joy of the Virgin.
(...) The Supreme Mind, that knows everything, even before man existed, knew that man would be his own thief and his own murderer. And as the Eternal Goodness has no limits in being good, before Guilt existed, He thought of the means to obliterate Guilt. The means: I, the Word. The instrument to render the means an efficient instrument: Mary. And the Virgin was created in the sublime mind of God.
5.12
Everything was created for Me, beloved Son of the Father. I-King should have had under my Divine Royal feet carpets and jewels such as no royal palace had, and songs and voices and servants and ministers around me as no sovereign ever possessed, and flowers and gems, all the sublime, the greatness, the kindness that may derive from the thought of a God.
But I was to be Flesh as well as Spirit. Flesh to save the flesh. Flesh to sublime the flesh, taking it to Heaven many centuries before its time. Because the flesh inhabited by the spirit is God’s masterpiece and Heaven had already been made for it. In order to become flesh I needed a Mother. To be God it was necessary that the Father was God.
Then God created His Spouse and said to Her: “Come with Me. At My side see what I am doing for our Son. Look and rejoice, eternal Virgin, eternal Maiden and may Your smile fill this Empyrean and give the angels their starting note and teach Paradise celestial harmony. I am looking at You. And I see You as You will be, Immaculate Woman, Who are now only a spirit: the spirit in which I rejoice. I am looking at You and I give the sea and the firmament the blue of Your eyes, the holy corn the colour of Your hair, whiteness to the lily and a rosy colour to the rose, like Your silky skin. I copy the pearls from Your minute teeth, I make the sweet strawberries watching Your mouth and I give the nightingale Your notes and the turtle-doves Your weeping. And reading Your future thoughts and listening to the beats of Your heart, I have a reason for guidance in creating. Come, My joy, have the worlds as a plaything as long as You will be the dancing light of My thoughts have the worlds for Your smile, have wreaths and necklaces of stars; place the moon under Your gentle feet; make Galatea Your stellar scarf. The stars and planets are for You. Come and enjoy looking at the flowers that will be a childish joy for Your Baby and a pillow for the Son of Your womb. Come and see sheep and lambs, eagles and doves being created. Stay beside Me when I make the hollows of the seas and grooves of the rivers and I raise the mountains and I adorn them with snow and forests. Stay here while I sow fodder and trees and vines, and I make the olive-tree for You, My Peaceful One, and the vine for You, My Vine branch who will bear the Eucharistic Bunch of grapes. Run, fly, rejoice, My Beauty. And may the universe which is created hour by hour learn from You to love Me, My Love, and may it become more beautiful owing to Your smile, Mother of My Son, Queen of My Paradise, Love of Your God”. And again, seeing the Fault and admiring the Faultless One: “Come to Me, You Who wipe away the bitterness of human disobedience, of human fornication with Satan and of human ingratitude. I will take with You My revenge over Satan”.
Annotation
Book of Proverbs, 8, 22-31
Prov 8, 22-31: The Lord made me for himself, the principle of his action, the first of his works, from everlasting.
Before the ages I was formed, from the beginning, before the earth appeared. When the abysses did not yet exist, I was born, when there were no springs. Before the mountains were fixed, before the hills, I was born, before the Lord made earth and space, the primitive elements of the world.
When he established the heavens, I was there, when he traced the horizon on the surface of the abyss, when he gathered the clouds in the heights and mastered the springs of the deep, when he imposed his limits on the sea, so that the waters could not violate his order, when he established the foundations of the earth. And I grew up beside him. I was his delight day after day, playing before him at all times, playing in the universe, on his earth, and finding my delight with the sons of men.
Read the glories of Mary in the book of the Ancestor. In the Septuagint, the Bible of Jesus' time, the book of Proverbs is called "Proverbs of Solomon". He was the son of David and the ancestor of Jesus (cf. Matthew 1:6: "David, from his union with the wife of Urias, begat Solomon").
This text, applied to Mary, is commented on in the Book of Azarias, on December 8, feast of the Immaculate Conception (see note 13 below). Indeed, it has been retained by the liturgy as applying to the Immaculate Conception. This relationship - from all eternity - between Christ and the Virgin Mary, in whom he becomes incarnate, is developed and documented by Fr. G.M. Roschini in The Virgin Mary in the works of Maria Valtorta, synthesis of Valtorta's Marian theology, Part 1, Mary in eternity, pp. 66-71. He also refers to Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), 24:3ff.
Many theologians believe that the words of Proverbs 8:22-31 refer to both Jesus and Mary. The Liturgy of December 8, feast of the Immaculate Conception, retained this text which cannot be applied to Jesus alone (the Word of God through whom all things were made). In fact, the text describes another feminine person (especially verses 27 to 31) alongside the Creator. Some have seen this attribution to the Virgin Mary as heresy, but can the Liturgy be heretical? We see in this text the foreknowledge of God in whom everything exists (cf. e.g. Ephesians 1:4 : "He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love". The foreknowledge of the Passion also exists in the Bible, long before its realization at the appointed time, let alone at the end of time. The same is true of the immaculate creation of Mary's soul infused into a human pulpit at the appointed time.
Jesus speaks of this again in EMV 196.7.
St Albert the Great (1200-1280), says: "God took extreme care to keep from all defilement the woman he had predestined from all eternity to be his mother in time" (Sermones de sanctis 38).
