"Faith is a powerful force that accomplishes what is humanly impossible, realizing what you call a miracle." But many misunderstand the true meaning of faith. Many believe that to have faith is simply to believe in something, although many times, what we have believed to be true one day, the next we reach the conclusion that it was erroneous. Others, believe that faith is merely an extrenous hope in fate or destiny. One of the most erroneous -and dangerous- "notions" that many religions and sects inject in their followers, is that faith must be blind and based in ignorance, when the opposed is the truth. "I reprimand those who preach a blind faith, a faith without knowledge, a faith acquired through fear and superstitions." "Do not listen to the words of those who attribute to God all the miseries which trouble Humanity; all the plagues, hunger, and pestilence, calling them punishments or ire of God. Those are the false, prophets." "Depart from them for they do not know Me, and they want to teach men how God is!" "There you have the fruit of the erroneous interpretation which has been given to the scriptures of past eras, whose Divine language has not yet been found in the profoundness of the human language, with which the revelations and the prophecies were written." So, what is faith? "Truly I say to you, that if your faith were true, you would not need to feel with the senses of the flesh, the presence of the spiritual, because then it would be the spirit who would perceive, with his subtle sensibility, that world which vibrates incessantly around you." "Blessed are those who believe without seeing first. Yes, My children, because *** the true faith is that gaze which contemplates what neither the mind nor the senses are able to discover.*** Only the faith is able to discover for man some of the mysteries of Creation." Let's say it again: "True faith is that gaze which contemplates what neither the mind nor the senses are able to discover." Faith is, so to speak, the eyes of the spirit, it is the virtue that allows to see and realize what is true and what it is not, and it is closely related to knowledge and of course, to wisdom. "Faith is like a beacon that illuminates your way until you arrive at the safe haven of eternity." "It cannot be faith of those lukewarm and timid spirits who today take one step forward and tomorrow go backwards; who do not want to struggle with their own affliction, trusting in the triumph of the spirit solely by the charity of the Father." "Faith is that which is felt by the spirit who, knowing that God is within him, loves his Lord and rejoices, feeling Him within, and loving his brethren; that faith in the justice of the Father is so great, that he does not expect his fellowmen to love him; that he forgives offenses and errors, and that tomorrow he will be filled with light, because with his merits he attained his purification." "He who has faith, has peace; he possesses love which comprises goodness." "He is rich in spirit, and even physically, but with a true wealth, not the one you believe in." Faith, again, is the one virtue that perform what many call miracles. Remember that every time that Jesus healed someone, He said to that person: "Your faith has saved you." "Come to Me, all of you, and be healed of your afflictions. Allow your faith to perform the miracle of restoring your health and of obtaining your salvation. The miracle is not within Me, but rather in you." "But do not forget that it is no longer My tunic that you should touch to receive the miracle, instead you should come before My Spirit by means of your faith and elevation." "How many have found their health along this pathway, because they were able to discover on time, the origin of their illnesses, and they placed all their faith and their will, until they triumphed!" "Among those who hear Me are the unbelievers who would like to touch, as Thomas did, in order to believe. To them I say that they will be able to communicate with Me from spirit to Spirit. First, they will wash their cup inside and out, so that My word falls within, like a shower of grace and life for the spirit." "The sick would like to touch My tunic, as they did during the Second Era, so that their faith would heal them. And I ask you: "Why do you not touch My Divine Spirit with your clean thoughts, and with your fervent prayers? You would obtain everything your spirit and flesh need." Please, read the following, not just once or twice, but as many times you find necessary until you can procede them to study and analize each divine phrase thoroughly and full understanding comes along. It is very important because, you see, in that way you can commence, almost immediately, to develop in full your gift of healing. Please, do remember that all -and I mean all- spirituals gifts are within us. As it happens with our material talents, some of us could develop one of them much easier and faster than the others. It does not means that the other talents are absent, no, only that they have not surfaced yet. With the spirituals gifts it is the same: some of them are almost at our reach and others, well, we need to work them a little more extensively. But what about if you find out that your gift of healing is on the dawn of its fluorishment? Imagine all the good that you can do with it. So, please, take your time and read, study and analyze the following phrases from the Master and let them dwell deep inside your mind, your heart and your spirit. "What illuminates the world are the lamps of faith, and I want for you to be the carriers of that light. Ah! If you only knew that with faith and good deeds you could obtain it all!" "It is enough that you have confidence in My words, so that by complying with My Law, you will be able to testify the power of faith in the most critical moments of your life." "How happy your heart has become when, during one of those tests, you have prayed and you have felt My truth. With faith, with spirituality, and with humility, you will attain the true prayer, which will prevent you from becoming victims of the vicissitudes of the Earth, because by living in harmony with the laws that govern your life, everything surrounding you will be at your service." "When will you understand that God, who gave you life, wishes to use it to manifest Himself?" "O! My beloved disciples! you must learn to impart love and charity, and to give with the spirit! I say to you, that the one who manifests to the world the power of his spirit and takes from that fountain of knowledge to offer it to others, he is fulfilling the will of God." "It is necessary for you to learn of all the powers and forces that you possess within, so that your being begins to manifest his essence." "You will then see how easy it is to resolve the problems of life, how serene and gentle the struggle is to ascend." "If you truly believe that you carry God within your being, would sickness touch you or the temptations make you fall? How can the weak strength of the material body dominate you?" "The physical body, disciples, is only a case, but in its interior there exists a bottle whose perfume or essence is the spirit. Do you not believe that it would be unjust that that perfume remain enclosed, when its aroma can make fragrant all one room? The dwelling could today be your home, tomorrow it will be the world, and later, space with no end." "You lack the faith to lift your face, smile with hope, and face the future, without fear, without mistrust, because I am in that future." "How many times are you sick just because you are thinking about it, because at each step you believe that fatality follows you and pain lies in wait; then you attract the darkness with your mind, with which you surround your material existence and your spiritual journey." "If you have felt yourself more of the material than spirit, I come to teach you to be, and make you feel more of a spirit than material! That is redemption, salvation, and peace." "Pray, use My phrases, and with faith and the strength that they effuse, anoint yourselves and be healed." "Tomorrow, when your prayer is not to heal your maladies, but rather to enjoy your communication with the Father, the spirit will journey through unknown regions of the mind; to some he will carry your light, from others he will bring messages, from still others you shall receive fortitude and delights of the spirit." "0! You laborers, who are the doctors of Humanity in the spiritual and even in the material! Remember that the health of the sick depends on the divine will, on your preparation, and on your faith." "The gift of healing is not beyond your reach, since the Lord has brought you a doctrine and a teaching accessible, practical, and comprehensible. But to develop the gift of healing as well as the other gifts of the spirit, you need good will, faith, and love."

Oh, how long have these feelings been cocooned in the hearts of millions of people all over the world! How could we, as mankind, allowed these feeling to be sheltered in our hearts as they only bring destruction and devastation! If those feelings where defeated and eradicated from the world we would experience a different life. A life where well being would flourish, a life where everybody would smile, a life that everybody would share, a life where everybody would respect each other ideas and ways of life and love would prevail. We must clear our hearts elevating our spirit and filling our heart with pure thoughts. As there is a lot of bitterness around, sometimes this is difficult to do, but if we concentrate in the infinite, beyond what is material, we will feel God's Spirit vibrate within us and above us all. He will illuminate our thoughts in order to do away with reigning confusion. During difficult times we have to show our tolerance. Tolerance is an attitude that allows us to comprehend and embrace our brethren. Through it we show charity, understanding and patience. All spirits, thanks to free will, have chosen their own path and pace towards evolution; therefore they are located at different stages on the evolutionary ladder. In other words, spirits have attained different levels of spirituality. This is why it is easy for some to comprehend the ordeals we go through, as for others there seem to be no explanation or wrongful ones arise. Along our way, we find falsity, hypocrisy, superstition, religious fanaticism and idolatry but our role is not to judge anyone but to give example and convey the message of spiritual fraternity and peace by showing our tolerance to each an every individual we meet. The meaning of tolerance in a dictionary is not to interfere and to recognize and respect the views, believes, practices, etc. of others who might differ from one's own. Human beings may chose to perform good or evil acts. But it is not up to us to neither judge these people nor desire with our thoughts that the justice of God fall upon those responsible for the bloodshed among nations. Everyone will have to cleanse his or her sins with restitution. Let's be the guardians of peace through our thoughts and prayers. ________________________________________________ <*>Y<*>S<*>Y<*>S<*>Y<*><*>Y<*>S<*>Y<*>S<*>Y<*>S< ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ** Final Word ** At this moment in history, when men are preparing their weapons again to embark humankind in another stage of war, vengeance and hatred against each other, the divine light that emanates from our Lord's wisdom appears in front of our spirits as a torch in the darkness. "Only My love can save you! Behold that in men, not one bit of love remains. Pray, but with true faith in the power of the prayer, with a faith so great, that it surpasses the force of the weapons with which your brethren fight in life and destroy the peace of their fellowmen."
