GRM 122

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

At Belle-Eau, John comes to Jesus to tell him that Judas is trying to be good and wants to stay with the son of Zebedee. Jesus allows John to stay with Judas as long as no trouble enters his heart. Then he instructs Peter to help Judas become good. He heals a mentally handicapped child by having him repeat the Name of Jesus, which is salvation. Christ then speaks to the apostles about sickness, entered into the world by Satan, and the power of his Name. There is a brief mention of John the Baptist. Finally, the Master gives a discourse on the Commandment: "Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother". He talks about the family, parents and children. Then he grants a distraught mother the conversion of her wicked son.

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

It's raining in Belle-Eau. The veiled woman is still present and Peter is watching over her. Jesus gives a discourse on the Commandment: "Thou shalt not commit impurity". He talks about marriage, adultery, fornication, abortion and homosexuality. Finally, he addresses Aglaia, who repents, but his speech could be addressed to any soul who wants to regain its former purity. Finally, there are the Pharisees who resent Aglaia's presence with the Master. They spit the drool of their hatred. Jesus is not present, but the apostles defend him: Peter is very funny at one point, and Jude gives them a magnificent reply. Jesus then thanks them, but says that if Aglaé's soul is redeemed, her joy will more than make up for all this criticism.

GRM 124

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

It's raining in Belle-Eau. There are no pilgrims. The apostolic group is in good spirits, however, and the apostles eventually discover that the veiled woman is living in a very precarious shelter. So they decide to help her. Judas confesses that he knows where she is sheltering, but he has managed to fight his curiosity and not discover who she is. Jesus congratulates him, and the Twelve wonder what to do about the veiled woman. Jesus asks them to decide, as this is a situation where their self-esteem "is at stake" and he has no business pressuring them to protect it. Everyone then gives their opinion, and it is decided to take her to a separate room, where they welcome the sick. When Aglaé is safe, Jesus talks to them briefly about neighborly love, and about souls that don't change because their masters don't act holily.

GRM 127

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus meets three of John the Baptist's disciples for the first time. John the Baptist is free and happy to see souls coming to Christ. He says that he must diminish, while Jesus must grow. The disciples also report the Forerunner's comments on Aglaé (the veiled woman of Belle-Eau), and then Jesus speaks of John and his spotless soul thanks to Mary's Visitation. After that, the conversation ends and Jesus speaks to the people present about the "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God". He dwells at length on the death of Doras, who no longer cared for his soul, and cared only for his body, the earth and his own riches. It would have been better if he had repented, rather than died impenitent.

GRM 128

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

A man with leprosy (adolescent) presents himself to Jesus. He has committed adultery with a beautiful woman. The leprosy has just appeared and he is about to be condemned. He begs for God's mercy, but is not truly repentant. Jesus achieves physical healing, not because of the young man, but because of his mother. Then he makes a speech about not coveting another's wife.

GRM 131

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus teaches us not to steal and not to envy others. In particular, he looks back at the origins of envy, with Lucifer, Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel. The Lord also enjoins us to be as simple as birds, to trust in God and His Providence. At the request of others, he speaks of Herod's sin and prostitution. Then he heals an almost-blind man.
