GRM 76.6
The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
76.6 Do you want to be My disciple, Isaac?»
«Oh! But I am not capable!»
«Can you avow Who I am? Avow it against jeers and threats? And tell people that I called you and you came?»
«Even if You did not want, I would avow all that. I would disobey You in that, Master. Forgive me for saying so.»
Jesus smiles. «You can see then that you are capable of becoming a disciple!»
«Oh! If that’s all one has to do! I thought it was more difficult, that we had to go to school with the rabbis to learn how to serve You, the Rabbi of rabbis… and to go to school at my age…» The man in fact must be at least fifty years old.
«You have done your schooling already, Isaac.»
«Me? No.»
«Yes, you have. Have you not continued to believe and love, to respect and bless God and your neighbour, not to be envious, not to wish what belongs to other people, and even what was your own and you no longer possessed, to speak only the truth, even if it should be harmful to you, not to associate with Satan committing sins? Have you not done all these things, in the last thirty years of misfortunes?»
«Yes, Master.»
«So you see, you have done your schooling. Go on doing so and reveal, in addition, to the world, that I am in the world. There is nothing else to be done.»
Detail
Jesus asks Isaac to follow him and be a disciple, but Isaac thinks he won't know how to act well.

The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
«And you, Mary, come closer to Me and tell Me: Who am I?»
«You are Jesus, the Son of Mary of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem. Isaac saw You and he gave me the name of Your Mother, that I may be good.»
«To imitate Her, you must be as good as an angel of God, purer than a lily that blooms on top of a mountain, as pious as the holiest Levite. Will you be like that?»
«Yes, Jesus, I will.»
GRM 77.2-3
The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
[Judas is talking about the shepherds at the Nativity.]
77.2 «By the way. For some days I have been anxious to ask You a question. These people are Your friends and the friends of God, are they not? The angels blessed them with the peace of Heaven, did they not? They have been faithful against all temptations, have they not? Would You explain to me, then, why are they unhappy? And what about Anne? She was killed because she loved You…»
«Are you therefore deducing that to be loved by Me and to love Me brings bad luck?»
«No… but…»
«But you are. (...) Come here, Judas, listen.
You have an opinion which is common to many people of our times and will be common to man in future. I said: an opinion. I should say: an error. But since you do not do so out of malice, but out of ignorance of the truth, it is not an error, it is only an incorrect opinion, like a child’s. And you are like children, My poor men. And I am here, as a Master, to make adults of you, capable of distinguishing truth from lies, good from bad and what is better from what is good. Listen to Me, therefore.
What is life? It is a period of pause, I would say the limbo of Limbo, that the God Father grants you as trial to establish whether you are good or bad children, after which He will allocate, according to your deeds, a future life without pauses or trials. Now tell Me: would it be fair if a man, simply because he has been granted the rare gift of being in the position of serving God in a special way, also had an everlasting wealth throughout his life? Do you not think that he has already been granted a great deal and may therefore consider himself happy, even if human things are against him? Would it not be unfair if he, who already has the light of divine revelation in his heart and the smile of a clear conscience, should also have worldly honours and wealth? And would it not also be unwise?»
77.3 «Master, I would also say that he would be a desecrator. Why put human joys where You already are? When one has You — and they had You, they are the only rich people in Israel because they have had You for thirty years — one should have nothing else. We do not put human things on the Propitiatory… and the consecrated vase is used only for sacred uses. And these people are consecrated since the day they saw Your smile… and nothing but You is to enter their hearts, which possess You. I wish I was like them!» says Simon.
Detail
Judas recalls the shepherds of the Nativity and the death of Anne of Bethlehem. He says that love for Jesus is bad luck, and Christ responds.

GRM 77.7
The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
«My Lord!»
«Woman.»
«Your Name, my Lord.»
«Jesus.»
«I never heard it. I am a Roman: a mime and dancer. I am an expert only in lust. What is the meaning of Your name? My name is Aglae and.. and it means: vice.»
«Mine means: Saviour.»
«How do You save? And whom?»
«Those who are anxious to be saved. I save by teaching to be pure, to prefer sorrow to honour, to desire good at all costs.» Jesus speaks without bitterness, without even turning towards the woman.
«I am lost…»
«I am the One seeking who is lost.»
«I am dead.»
«I am the One who gives Life.»
«I am filth and falsehood.»
«I am Purity and Truth.»
«You are also Bounty, You do not look at me. You do not touch me, You do not tread on me. Have mercy on me…»
«First, you must have mercy on yourself. On your soul.»
«What is the soul?»
«It is what makes a god of man and not an animal. Vice and sin kill it, and once it is killed, man becomes a repulsive animal.»
«Will it be possible for me to see You again?»
«Who looks for Me, finds Me.»
«Where do You live?»
«Where hearts need doctors and medicines to become honest again.»
«In that case… I will not see You again… I live where no doctor, medicine or honesty is wanted.»
«Nothing prevents you from coming to where I am. My name will be shouted in the streets and will reach you. Goodbye.»
«Goodbye, my Lord. Allow me to call You “Jesus”. Oh! Not out of familiarity!… But that a little of salvation may come to me. I am Aglae, remember me.»
«I will. Goodbye.»
