GRM 67.3

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

Love. I say nothing else. Love your neighbour as the Lord God of Israel prescribes. Do not always be of Cain’s blood. And why are you so? For the sake of a few coins, you who might have become murderers. For a few palms of land. For a better position. For a woman. What are such things? Are they eternal? No. They last less than a lifetime, which lasts an instant of eternity. And what do you lose if you follow them? The eternal peace promised to the just, and which the Messiah will bring you together with His Kingdom. Come on to the way of Truth. Follow the Voice of God. Love one another. Be honest. Be moderate. Be humble and fair. Go and meditate.

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.
