Scroll with the arrows to read the text From Teaching No. 74 2. Truly feel that you are at My table, waiting for Me to distribute the bread and offer you the wine. You know that I speak to you in a figurative meaning, reminding you of My word of the Second Era, since the bread is My word and the wine the Divine essence contained therein. 3. Bread and wine, flesh and blood, manna and water; all of that has been the representation of love and life, which is the eternal sustenance of your spirit. 4. The manna of the wilderness and the water of the rock represented, in its time, the bread and wine of the spirit; they are the same symbols that I partook at My table when, surrounded by My disciples, I said to them: "Eat and drink, this is My body and this is My blood." With this lesson I opened before mankind a new era, that of love. 5. Today, new disciples congregate around Me and the multitudes follow My footsteps again; but no longer is the figurative meaning, nor the parable, the means through which I come to make you understand the divine lessons. It is the clear word which speaks to your mind with a Divine essence, that you can only perceive through your spirit. 6. Meditate on these lessons disciples, and you will come to understand that the time of the figurative meaning and of the symbols is about to end, because your spiritual evolution and your mental development will permit you to comprehend the truth better. 7. I am among you, although you cannot touch Me with your hands, nor behold Me with your physical eyes. I come in Spirit to speak to you and to teach you how you should seek Me in your prayer. 8. I will not leave any material trace of My new manifestation, just as I did not leave any during the Second Era, in spite of having lived among you. Humanity is inclined to idolatry and to consecrate material objects, regard them as divine, and make them an object of adoration. What would have become of mankind if they would have been able to retain My body, the cross of My torment, or the bitter cup of that Last Supper with My disciples? However, everything was erased so that only My Divine essence would remain within the spirit of humanity. 9. In previous times I also withdrew from the sight of men, both the objects which had served as symbols, as well as the envoys or interpreters. In the First Era, while upon a mountain, Moses disappeared from his people who idolized him. Elijah, the prophet of fire, was lost among a cloud which lifted him from the Earth. One and the other, like Jesus, left in the spirits only the trace of their deeds as spiritual essence. 10. Now I am here, in fulfillment of one of My promises, reuniting all the tribes into one people, and men of different races into one apostleship. 11. I am bequeathing to mankind an additional testament, full of light and clarity. Behold how religious fanaticism has reached some of My children at its greater heights, while in others, materialism and the lack of faith have taken hold of their spirits. Great and bloody is the struggle that awaits both, until the light shines again among men, making them feel the true peace which proceeds from the love toward one another. 12. Before a real chaos of passions and ideas, these people, witnesses and carriers of My new teachings, will have to arise. In order to be believed, it will be necessary for them to be prepared, and be revested with humility, obedience, spirituality, fortitude, and charity. 14. Do not say that My Doctrine is difficult to practice, or that it forces you to hard privations. He who lovingly follows Me, shall not feel the burden of his cross. 18. How many, hardened in sin, have come at this time to hear My word and before I have finished My lesson, they have said to Me bathed in tears: It is you, Master! The fact is, that My word, clean, sweet, and persuasive, is able to speak to the heart of those people. And I say to you, that he who has once felt My presence, will not be able to deceive himself with false appearances. You, who have heard Me during this period, prepare yourselves so as to give testimony of Me, for you will have to make My Doctrine known just as I have revealed it to you, and not to your whims or will. 19. In the same manner that you had a friend along your path who gave you the good news, thus this humanity who perishes in a world of hardships, will also receive the news that the Lord is present, and they will come to hear Me. 20. What would become of you if, within My mercy, I would not shorten the days of your affliction? You would have all perished already. During this era I come in search of sinners, to give them a task in My Divine Work and to tell them that My love has never excluded them. Tomorrow, how much satisfaction and rejoicing there will be in those spirits when they have reached their elevation through the practice of charity. There exists, in the infinite, a love, which is that of the Father, who does not have any other interest but your salvation and for you to attain eternal peace. 21. Since 1866, I opened again the ark of My love, which has overflowed upon you as consolation and revelation. I have not waited for the day of My departure to tell you to arise and practice My teaching: rather, from the first instant when you heard them, I have said to you: Practice charity, give comfort to the sick, talk about My new manifestation, persuade the needy and the stray ones. The fact is, that I do not want you to become theoretical disciples who speak marvels of My Work, and are not capable of extending their arm to touch the sick and calm his affliction. Is it not true that your heart is filled with joy when the dying one has come back to life because of your cares and prayers, on hearing that his lips are blessing you? 23. My word is simple and humble in its form; it is profound in its contents, and it will be so up to the last day. Do not ask Me to speak to you with eloquent words, for your spirit does not need them to understand My teaching. 25. Do not wish to change this spiritual work into a material work, expecting to see its fruits here on Earth. Do not doubt the triumph of My Doctrine. Have faith in it, and you will be able to turn the plains into mountains and deserts into valleys. Remember that in the Second Era when Jesus expired on the cross, forsaken by His disciples, except John - they came to believe that all had ended. However, later on, the Divine seed which could not die, began to germinate within the hearts, because at every step it was sprinkled with the blood of martyrs, a blood that was love and faith. 26. I say to you, that during this period, My Divine seed should be sprinkled with charitable deeds, with tears of repentance and reconciliation. 27. In this period I came to liberate you from a new bondage: the temptations, the pleasures, the vices, which are like the cruel tyrant Pharaoh, who has burdened you with chains. Tomorrow this new freedom will be celebrated by mankind, not with feasts or traditions, but with a spiritual love for one another. 28. The victims whom you offered before the altar of Jehovah were received by Him, but it was not the most adequate form to elevate your spirit to the Father. It was then that I came to you as Jesus to teach you the Divine commandment which says: "Love one another." I say to you today, that the lessons I taught you during the Second Era through the deeds of Jesus, have been altered sometimes and misinterpreted on others. That is why I have come as I announced, to clarify My truth. My sacrifice of that period prevented the sacrifice of many victims, and I taught you a more perfect worship. My new manifestation of this period will allow mankind to understand that the symbolic forms should not be adopted without first analyzing their significance, since they are only a representation of My lessons. 29. Before I am being felt in someone's heart, Elijah appears before him to tell him to repent for his sins, for the Lord draws near. He did the same thing during the Second Era through John, the Baptist, when the latter commanded that penitence be felt and purification be made, because the Kingdom of Heaven was close at hand. 33. Just as the golden calf was abolished in that Period, so will the love for wealth disappear; and just as the merchants were cast out of the temple, so will those now be touched who, taking advantage of the weakness and the ignorance, profit by the affliction of their fellowmen. 34. Men have engaged in a struggle with their Father; but wherever they go, they find Me blocking their path toward wickedness; however, those who, in that struggle, ignore the voice of their conscience, will encounter death and judgment, and restitution thereafter. 36. A whirlwind engulfs mankind; but truly I say to you, that My word does not come to increase your confusion. It is the light that comes to guide your spirit and illuminate your intelligence, in order to help you in your spiritual evolution. 41. If I tell you that your spirit sometimes detaches himself while your body sleeps, and goes near the threshold of the Hereafter searching for Me, I would not be lying to you. However, you have lacked preparation and faith to enable you to take advantage of these moments spiritually. I have had to prepare seers and prophets in order for them to help and speak to you about that tomorrow, which will alert you and admonish you, so that you may be watchful, and pray. 44. You ask Me; How are those Divine mansions and the life of the perfect beings? Truly I say to you, do not ask what you cannot understand for now. Practice My laws; that practice will carry you, step by step, up the ladder of perfection, from where you may be contemplating, admiring, and seeing all that the Father has preserved for the happiness of His children. 45. Your spirit, having been a dweller of the spiritual realm, has seen very little and knows almost nothing of that existence. How can you wish to contemplate the threshold of what you call Glory or Heaven from here? 46. At the most, the eyes of your body have managed to contemplate the nearby stars, Your science has not carried you much further, and your spirit, who is the one who could abolish distances and discover what is invisible to man, feeling within and outside of him, the spiritual knowledge that surrounds him, allows himself to be dragged by the materialism of the world; he merges with his body, and instead of elevating, he drags himself, and instead of admiring, he doubts. 47. Sometimes, admiring the marvels of Creation, you exclaim amazed; "Father, how great is your power!": without imagining that everything that surrounds you is but a pale reflection of what eternal life is. 48. Certainly, I want to awaken your interest with My word about the spiritual life, but understand what I say to you: To be able to get to that existence, you must reach it through the evolution of your spirit, and not only by that of the mind. Allow intelligence, the heart, the senses, and all your powers to be in unity with your spirit, and you will reach the necessary elevation to be able to behold the splendor of your Father. But if the spirit is self-confident and gives in to the capacity of his mind, then his penetration will be limited, as is everything human. 49. Heaven is not a predetermined place in the Universe. My Glory is everywhere; in the spiritual and in the material. Do you not say that God is in Heaven, on Earth, and in every place? Then understand what you say so that you will know that where God is, His Glory has to be there. 50. I want you to come to dwell in that infinite mansion; that you reach a state of spiritual elevation; that wherever you are in the Universe, you may feel the beatitude of the Divine. That you enjoy the eternal life, and experience the presence of the Creator. That summit has only been reached by those who have taken Me as an ideal, and love as the pathway. 51. He who understands this Doctrine, will have to recognize that this world is only a small mansion which has momentarily detained the spirit to reveal to him elemental teachings. Since the first eras, a torch of faith glows to illuminate, with its spiritual light the path of man, but how few have been guided by it. How few have persevered along the road and how many, on reaching the crossroads where death stops them, have had to appear before the spiritual, which is the true homeland of the spirit, as if they were strangers, without knowing the roads, nor the laws, nor their duties. How unjust you have been to your own selves! 52. Today I come, explaining My teachings, in order for you to retrace your footsteps and take the path of the true life with the knowledge of the goal you pursue. And when death comes to free you from the flesh, your spirit may be able to elevate himself and reach the spiritual realm without letting perturbation, as something worse than death, surprise him. Knowing all this, you can live, convinced that you are transients on Earth, beginners who had to go through this school. Do not complain about your flesh, no matter how stubborn and rebellious it is; nor detest having to endure the life of this world, which you have regarded as a deceptive Eden, full of temptations and pitfalls, because that body that you carry as an instrument to inhabit this Earth, will not be an obstacle toward your spiritual elevation, or to lead a virtuous life, if you manage to overcome its weaknesses, passions, and miseries, allowing only the seed of spirituality to germinate in your heart. By then, this Earth, and Nature which surrounds it, has new lessons in reserve and also secrets that the future generations will have to know. 53. No longer will pain be the master which will correct man, nor will it be the wars that will touch the pride of nations, nor the misery that will purify the heart of humanity. Other lessons, unknown until now, will be received by men of those times which I announce to you today. 54. Bless your affliction; do not dry your tears with anger; bless your bread, no matter how meager it is, for as prolonged as your suffering might seem to you here on Earth, when you inhabit the spiritual realm, you will feel as if it were only a minute, and you will realize all the good it did to you. 55. Heaven is a state of perfection. I have symbolized it to you as an immense, white city that you have to conquer with your courage, with your faith, and with your unbreakable will. Be warriors of that cause. All of you who cherish that ideal, be in unity, and march step by step, winning victories in life, until you make that city surrender to those who conquered it with their love. That city is your home. That home is the Universe with no end, where the Creator dwells with His children. 59. Do not distrust men, however hardened and fanatical they may be in their worship. Every spirit is now evolved and in time to receive these revelations. 60. Disciples, understand and accept your mission with that love and obedience with which Jesus accepted His destiny. Pray; be watchful. Drink off, with patience, your cup of bitterness and learn how to carry your cross with love. Bless everything inwardly, and forgive those who offend you, with deeds from the heart. 61. Blessed are those who, through tears, tell Me: "Master, I offer you my suffering. Your will be done in me." My will is that you possess My peace. O My poor and suffering people! But forget for a few moments your afflictions and pray for the world. Pray for all nations. "Love one another!"
