From Teaching 108

10. Mankind has multiplied at the same time as its sinfulness. There is no absence in the world of cities like Sodom and Gomorrah, whose scandal would reflect all over the Earth: and they are poisoning the hearts of men.

No trace remains of those sinful cities, even though their inhabitants were not hypocrites, for they sinned in the light of day. But this present day, humanity. who hides in the shadows to overindulge in their passions and pretend righteousness and limpidity, will have a more severe judgment than Sodom.

11. It is the fatal heritage of all past generations, which, with its ambitions, vices and illnesses, is bearing its fruits in this era. It is the tree of evil which has grown within the heart of men; a tree which has been fertilised by sins, whose fruits continue tempting man and woman, making new hearts fall day by day.

12. Beneath the shade of that tree, lie men and women without the strength to liberate themselves from its influence; and therein remain relinquished virtues, tainted honour and many truncated lives.

13. Not only are the adults hurrying, attracted by the pleasures of the world and of the flesh, but also the adolescents, and even children. Everyone has been touched by the poison accumulated throughout the times.

And those who have managed to escape the lethal influence of evil, what are they doing for those who have strayed? They judge them, censure them and become scandalised by their actions. Very few are those who pray for those who stray from the pathway, and less are those who dedicate part of their life to combat evil.

14. Truly I say to you, that My Kingdom will not be established among men as long as the tree of evil exists. It is necessary to destroy that power, and for that it is necessary to possess the sword of love and justice, the only thing that sin cannot resist.

Understand that it will not be the judgment, nor the punishment, but it rather will be love, forgiveness and charity, which is the essence of My Doctrine, the light that will illuminate your pathways and the teaching which will guide humanity toward salvation.

15. My people: Do you wish to become part of those who will work for the redemption of this humanity? Do you wish to contribute with your help toward the work of salvation? Well then, do not feel impotent to fulfill that mission, comparing your insignificant number with that of mankind, since not all things are for you to do.

16. Understand, that each one of you who draws away from the wicked path, will cause the power of evil to lose some of its strength; and your life, if it is righteous in deeds, words and thoughts, will leave a good seed along its path; and if your counseling comes from a prepared heart, it will have the power to perform miracles; and if your prayer comes from thoughts filled with compassion and love, it will be a message of light for the one for whom you pray.

19. The fruits of the reign of evil shall not prevail, but rather, it will be the light which will reign everywhere, and in every spirit.
