GRM 27.6

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

Trust is (...) humility. The proud man says: ‘I will do it by myself. I do not trust him because he is an incapable man, a liar, an overbearing fellow…’ The humble man says: ‘I trust him. Why should I not? Why should I think that I am better than he is?’ And more rightly he says of God: ‘Why should I mistrust Him Who is so good? Why should I think that I can do it by myself?’ God gives Himself to the humble, but withdraws from the proud.

Detail

Mary explains trust in three points: trust is love, trust is humility, trust is obedience.

GRM 27.6

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

Trust is (...) obedience. And God loves the obedient man. Obedience implies that we acknowledge ourselves as His children and we acknowledge God as our Father. And a father can but love when he is a real father. God is our real Father and a perfect Father.

GRM 27.7

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

No event can happen unless God allows it. Are you powerful? You became so, because God permitted it. Are you a subject? You are such, because God permitted it. Endeavour, therefore, powerful one, not to turn your power to your own detriment. It would always be ‘your detriment’, even if at the beginning, it may appear detrimental to others. Because if God allows, He does not over-allow, and if you go beyond the mark He will strike you and crush you. Endeavour, therefore, o subject, to make of your condition a magnet that will draw the protection of Heaven upon you. And never curse anyone. Leave that to God’s care. It is for Him, the Lord of all, to bless and curse His creatures.

GRM 29.10

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

Heaven! My aim. Where God was. My only hunger. A hunger which is not gluttony, but a necessity blessed by God, Who wants us to crave for Him.

GRM 29.11

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

GRM 30.11

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

He who goes to Mary, finds Me. He who asks Her for Me receives Me from Her. When a creature says to Mary: ‘Give me Your Jesus that I may love Him’, My Mother’s smile causes Heaven’s colours to change into a more lively brightness because of its greater delight.

GRM 30.11

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

God shows Himself to those who have a child’s soul and He shows them also His mysteries and allows them to hear His divine words and Mary’s. And those with a child’s soul have also Levi’s holy daring and they say: ‘Let us kiss Jesus’ dress’. They say that to Mary. Because it is always Mary Who gives you Jesus. She is the Bearer of the Eucharist. She is the Living Pyx.

Detail

Jesus gives Maria a dictation, after she has seen the shepherds' adoration in the manger. He says:
