GRM 81.5

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

Who is holier and poorer than the Baptist? He is equal to Elijah in his mission but greater than Elijah in holiness.

GRM 82.1

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

Do you not know that the Law says: “Love your neighbour as yourself”? He who does not love his neighbour does not even love God. And he who does not love God, how can he go to His House and pray to Him? God might say to him, and he does say it in Heaven: “Go away. I do not know you. You, My son? No, you are not. You do not love your brothers, you do not respect in them the Father Who created them, so you are not a brother and a son, but an illegitimate child: a stepson to God, a stepbrother to your brothers”.

GRM 82.4

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

In future, if you can, do not tell lies, not even to accomplish a good deed.

GRM 83.2

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

«Is pain not always evil?»

«No, My friend, It is evil from a human point of view, but from a supernatural one it is good. It increases the merits of just people, who accept it without despairing or rebelling and they offer it, as they offer themselves with resignation, as a sacrifice to expiate their own imperfections and the faults of the world, and it is a redemption for those who are not good.»

«It is so difficult to suffer!» says the farmer, who has been joined by his relatives, about ten people in all, adults and children.

«I know that man finds it difficult. And knowing that he would find it so difficult, the Father had not given His children any sorrow. It came due to sin. But how long does sorrow last on the earth? In the life of a man? A short time. It is always short, even if it lasts a whole lifetime. Now I say: is it not better to suffer for a short time rather than forever? Is it not better to suffer here than in Purgatory? Consider that time there is multiplied one thousand fold. Oh! I solemnly tell you: you ought not to curse pain, but bless it, and you should call it “grace” and “mercy”.
