GRM 50.2

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

50.2 The vision shows them coming out of the village and starting their journey to Bethsaida. But I do not hear what they are saying, in fact the vision is interrupted and it is resumed only when they are entering Bethsaida. I realise that it is that town because I see Peter, Andrew and James, with their wives, awaiting Jesus at the entrance to the village.

«Peace be with you. Here I am.»

«We thank You, Master, also on behalf of those who are waiting for You. It is not the Sabbath today, but will You speak Your words to those waiting to hear You?»

«Yes, Peter, I will. In your house.»

Peter is overjoyed: «Come, then. This is my wife and this is John’s mother and these are their friends. But there are other people waiting for You: relations and friends of ours.»

«Tell them that I will speak to them this evening, before I leave.»

I forgot to mention that they left Capernaum at sunset and arrived at Bethsaida the following morning.

Detail

Jesus leaves Capernaum and goes to Bethsaida.

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus talks to Andrew. He tells him about the birds and then talks about his silent, effective work. Andrew is the ideal model of a priest. Then John, Simon and Judas, who have gone to Jerusalem, return with a letter from Mary, Jesus' mother. They learn that the Pharisees are planning to come here, surprise him and accuse him. The apostles are not yet ready to confront the Sanhedrin and ask Christ to leave. They finally open the gifts made by the disciples' wives. But Jesus is preoccupied, suffering, and decides to hasten their departure, as he is not yet to be taken. So they prepare their belongings to go to Docco, and then to Bethany.

The mother of the sons of thunder has heard that the Virgin Mary, Mary of Alphaeus, Susanna and certainly Joanna of Kouza are going to follow Christ. So she asks for the grace to follow in his footsteps. Jesus makes her consider the love of her husband, the love of her home, the love of her grandchildren, but nothing holds back this beautiful soul, who prefers Jesus to everything she possesses.

Chapter contents: 152.1: The happiness of James and John. 152.2: Mary Salome asks to follow Jesus, who tests her motivation. 152.3 : Jesus welcomes her among the women disciples.
