GRM 51.1-2

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

«I have come from Capernaum, I went there by boat and I have come here in the same boat to gain time. Your Mother sends me; She says: “Susanna is getting married tomorrow; please come to the wedding”. Mary will be there, and also my mother and brothers. All the relatives have been invited. You would be the only one absent, and they ask You to come and make the young couple happy.»

51.2

Jesus bows lightly stretching out His arms and says: «A wish of My Mother is a law for Me. But I will come also for Susanna’s and our relatives’ sake. Only… I am sorry for you…» and He looks at Peter and the others. «They are My friends» He explains to His cousin. And then He mentions their names, beginning with Peter’s. He then adds: «And this is John» with a special expression that causes Judas Thaddeus to look at him more carefully while the beloved disciple blushes. He ends the introductions stating: «My friends, this is Judas, son of Alphaeus, My cousin according to the custom of the world, because he is the son of the brother of My Mother’s spouse. A very good friend of Mine, and a companion both in life and in work.»

«My house is open to you as it is to the Master. Sit down» and then addressing Jesus, Peter says: «So? Are we no longer going to Jerusalem with You?»

«Of course you will come. I will go after the wedding feast. The only difference is that I will not stop at Nazareth any longer.»

«Quite right, Jesus, because Your Mother is my guest for a few days. That is what we intend to do. She also will go there after the wedding.» It is the man from Capernaum who speaks thus.

«This is what we will do. I will now go in Judas’ boat to Tiberias and from there to Cana. With the same boat I will come back to Capernaum with My Mother, and with you. You will come the day after the next Sabbath, Simon, if you still wish to come, and we will go to Jerusalem for Passover.»

«Of course I want to come! In fact, I will come on the Sabbath to hear You in the synagogue.»

Detail

Maria sees the wedding house at Cana and notices Mary's arrival on the scene. She helps prepare the premises for the feast. Eventually, the bride arrives, and there's a change in the vision: the mystic sees Jesus, heading for Cana. He leaves to please his Mother and arrives at the house. He greets the bride and groom and the guests, and sits down with John and Jude of Alphaeus. He and Mary eat and speak little. Then the Virgin realizes that they have run out of wine, and everything happens as in the Gospel. Jesus performs his first miracle, then, when attention turns to him, he tells everyone to thank Mary.

We are then given two dictations. One focuses on the famous phrase: "Mother, what is there now between you and me?" and the other on the fact that it is Mary who obtains Christ's first miracle. The Lord asks us to thank her for all the graces she obtains for us. As for the famous "henceforth", Jesus explains that before, he was all Mary's, but now he is all the Father's, as God's Servant. The ties between Mother and Son are broken to become even higher, and after his mission, the Savior will once again be all things to his Mother.

Cycle: The female apostolate

Summary: Jesus is at Cana, simply teaching his friends. Along comes a royal official from Herod's court, pleading for healing for his son who is in Tiberias. He acknowledges that they are behaving badly towards the Forerunner, but affirms that he has faith. Jesus grants his request. Susanna's husband then comes to him to ask for his wife's healing. At first, he wants to offer her money, but Jesus asks what her soul would be willing to offer in exchange for the miracle. So the Savior asks his wife to become his disciple. The husband is kind, and confesses that he used to love his wife more as flesh than as spirit. However, the Messiah's teaching has already changed his mentality. He now begins to see her as a soul and agrees to let her come to Him, if Susanna agrees. Jesus then tells her not to say anything to her soul mate and that she will come spontaneously to Christ.
