GRM 134

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Healing for Marianne, a dying mother who has given life to six children. She has a breast disease (perhaps cancer?). Jesus comes to heal her, because her mother-in-law has gone to find Jesus at Belle-Eau, at the end of EMV 131. At the end, Christ asks Judas to buy them food for the next few days, as they are very poor. Judas then asks him to give some of his own money, because he is becoming good and wants to get rid of his fascination with money.

GRM 137

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus returns to La Belle-Eau. He sends Judas to make the most urgent purchases. André talks to the Master, to confide in him his suffering: the veiled woman, Aglaia, is no longer there, because the Pharisees have attacked her. He fears that she will not reach salvation, but Christ assures him that she is not dead and that she will be saved. The Lord asks him if he wants to know how this will happen, and André doesn't want to know: he's just satisfied with Christ's words and promise. His Master is then happy and says that this is the privilege of the true apostle, who must not seek to know how he saves souls. In this way, Jesus teaches a lesson about priests. Then Jesus asks about Aglaia, so Andrew explains what happened. The Pharisees attacked her in their absence, and she fled. Judas returns in the meantime and reveals that the Pharisees have set a trap. He interrupted a scribe who was insulting Jesus, then remembered that violence was not good and let him go. Peter was very pleased with his attitude and would have helped him, but the vengeful attitude of the Twelve did not please the Master, who rebuked them. He announces that he is going to confront the Pharisees, which indeed takes place. He asks them not to fight against him, the Word of God, but the group prefers to curse them and orders him to leave. So Jesus leaves tomorrow, after greeting the good people who are here.

GRM 138

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Farewell to the souls of Belle-Eau. The steward explains what happened with Aglaé, and the Master blesses her uprightness. Jesus then talks to the apostles on the road: he tells them that he does not want a human kingdom, and that he will not conquer it by violence. Finally, Jesus goes to console the synagogue ruler at Belle-Eau. He's going to be cursed by the Sanhedrin, so he's going to be removed from office. The man, in his humility, believes that he will no longer be able to look up to God, and regrets, not the loss of his prestigious office, but the loss of his friendship with God. He is therefore gripped by scruples, and Jesus reassures him that he has not sinned. The Sanhedrin's condemnation falls, but Christ invites him instead to follow in his footsteps, and Timon is happy.

GRM 160.1-6

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus is on the road from Naphtali to Giscala. His disciples tell him that Gamaliel is there, and Jesus decides to go and meet him, despite the fact that some of the apostles are unconvinced. The rabbi is surprised, but not hostile to the Lord, whom he greets very respectfully. He points out that the road is tiring, but Jesus says that if you receive him, if you listen to him, all tiredness disappears.

Gamaliel then offers to eat with him, and he chats with Christ. After talking about the Forerunner, he points out that Jesus is always wandering, and Jesus replies that this confuses those who hate him, but that the good come to him anyway. Gamaliel points out that he doesn't hate him, that his intelligence admires Jesus of Nazareth. However, his soul is weighed down by too many things, and the Savior encourages him not to wait for his last words before converting.

The two men make some progress together, coming to talk about Jesus' love for animals and the lessons he draws from Creation. Then they talk about Hillel, as they are going to pray at his tomb. Gamaliel is surprised that the Messiah should know the thoughts of this deceased rabbi, and Jesus asserts that his thoughts were not unknown to him, for he "knows nothing of the thoughts of men". He then states that he is the Word, and speaks very clearly of the Holy Trinity.
