GRM 124.4

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Isaac passed by Belle-Eau and left the group a woman's garment, which they are going to give to Aglaé. After telling the disciples to take this dry garment and give it to the repentant woman, Jesus declares: "This is the one Isaac left behind. You see that everything is useful, even a woman's garment given to a man..."

GRM 125

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus is in Belle-Eau, giving a talk on the Commandment: "You shall keep holy the feasts". He talks about Sabbath rest - for us, it's the equivalent of Sunday rest. It's a physical, moral and spiritual order. Jesus also talks about work. He insists on honest work, driven by love of neighbor. Finally, when we rest on the seventh day, we must dedicate it to our family, to God, and take the opportunity to examine our conscience, so as to be better the following week. Finally, the Lord enjoins us to be like toddlers, and there's the beautiful physical healing of a child who was paralyzed after being run over by a herodian.

GRM 126

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

At La Belle-Eau, Jesus gives a talk on the Commandment: "Thou shalt not kill". He explains that to measure a sinner's guilt, we must ask ourselves this question: "Whom have I struck? What did I hit? Where did I strike? With what means did I strike? Why did I strike? How did I strike? When did I strike? After answering all these questions, he speaks of the master who makes his slaves suffer gratuitously. This leads to a confrontation between the Master and Doras, the Pharisee. The latter dies on the spot, to the amazement of the apostles.

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.
