A Spirit filled with light, purity, and innocence, finding himself before God, asked: "Father, tell me what my mission is, for I wish to serve you." The Father gently replied: "Wait, I will unite a man and a woman on Earth, and from that union a child will be born, in which you will incarnate. In that manner, by being the son of man, you will gather experience in the tribulations of the world and intimately feel the tenderness of a mother and the caress of a father." 51. The spirit joyously waited. In the meantime, the Father joined a man and woman with bonds of love and thus sent them along the path of life. 52. A new being was conceived within the womb of the woman; then God sent that spirit to incarnate in that body, and on the ninth month he saw the light of the world. The mother smiled with happiness, while the father was filled with pride. That child was a blessed event for both, for it was the fruit of their love. The woman felt strong, while the man felt somewhat like his Creator. Both dedicated themselves to the devotion of that tender heart. 53. The spirit who animated the child smiled as he beheld the sweet gaze of his mother and the severe, and at the same time, tender face of the father. 54. Time elapsed, and the father in his struggles of life, abandoned his nest of love. Taking sinuous paths, he went beyond himself until he became lost, leaving behind him shreds of his garments caught in the prickly shrubs. He took poisonous fruits and stripped the maidens of their virtue. Feeling himself sick and depressed, he remembered the two loved ones he had abandoned. He intended to return and search for them; however his strength failed him. Then, mustering enough courage by dragging himself and stumbling along the lengthy journey, he reached the doors of his home where his wife welcomed him with open arms and tears in her eyes, but the child was sick and in agony. 55. The father, seeing his dying child, implored the Divine charity for his recovery; then he desperately pulled his hair and blasphemed; however, that spirit separated from its body and proceeded toward the Beyond. The parents were desolate and made themselves responsible for the misfortune that afflicted them; he for having left, and she for not being able to detain him. 56. When that spirit found himself before the presence of the Creator he said: "Father, why have you separated me from the loving arms of that sweet mother, in which my absence has left her weeping and in despair?" To this the Father answered: "Be patient and await the moment in which you will return to that same bosom when they have acknowledged their sins and understood My Law." 57. The man and the woman continued in unity, in solitude, and inwardly repentant of their faults, when again they were surprised by the announcing of a new child. God again directed the spirit to return to that bosom by saying: "Incarnate in that body which is preparing for a new existence, and be joyful to be within that bosom again." 58. The parents, who had regarded their first-born as lost, were not aware that he had returned to their bosom; however the emptiness left by the first was filled by the second. Happiness and peace returned to the bosom of that home. The mother smiled again and the father was in a joyful mood. 59. Now the man feared a separation from his family, and tried to surround them with love by remaining near them. But in time he forgot his past experience and, influenced by bad friends, he yielded to vice and temptation. The woman complained and began to reject him. That home was converted into a battleground. Soon the man felt defeated, sick, and weakened. Meanwhile the woman, leaving the child in the cradle, would arise in search of bread for the innocent and sustenance for her companion who did not love or care for her. She suffered humiliations and blasphemy, endured dangers, and challenged the instincts of men of bad faith. In that manner, she managed to provide daily bread for her loved ones. 60. God had compassion for the innocent spirit, and before he could open his eyes to reason, He called him again. When the spirit was in the presence of the Father, he said with great grief: "Father, once again you have separated me from the arms of those whom I love. Behold, how difficult my destiny is! Today I implore you to either leave me in their bosom or in yours forever; however do not allow me to peregrinate anymore, for I am tired." 61. When the man returned from his lethargy, he beheld a new scene of grief. His wife wept without consolation at the bedside of the second child who had died. Then the man attempted to take his own life, but his companion intervened and said: "Do not attempt against your life. Hold your hand and realize that we ourselves are the cause why God has taken our children." The man regained his senses, realizing that there was truth in those words. As each day passed, calm slowly came to those hearts, who sorrowfully remembered the children who departed and had been the joy of that home, which later became a place of desolation. 62. The spirit then asked the Father: "Father, are you going to send me to Earth again?" The Father answered: "Yes, again, and as many times as necessary, or until those hearts are cleansed." When the spirit incarnated again, its body was sick and so were his mother and father. From his bedside that spirit elevated himself to the Father in demand of healing. This time he had not contemplated the light of the world. There were no smiles in the lips of his parents, only tears. The mother wept from morning till night near the cradle of the infant, while the repentant father felt his heart pierced from grief, seeing that the child had inherited his own ills. 63. The presence of that spirit within that sick body was brief, thus returning before the presence of the Father. 64. Once again the couple experienced solitude; however, suffering had brought them together as never before. Their hearts showed devotion, and they promised to march in unity till the end. The man fulfilled his duties, and she in turn looked after her husband, and both were healed of their ills. 65. They regarded it as difficult, that God would again grant them another child, but behold! when the Father contemplated that the physical and spiritual health flourished within those beings, He sent them that spirit as their reward, for the abnegation of one, and the correction of the other. Then from the bosom of that woman there came into being a tender little body, as fragrant as a bud, who filled that home with happiness and peace. 66. The man and the woman, weeping with joy, kneeled and gave thanks to God, while that patient and obedient spirit smiled through the body of the infant and said to God: "Father, do not separate me again from my parents, for there is peace in my home, love in their hearts, warmth in my cradle, milk and honey in the bosom of My mother. There is bread on the table, there is affection in my father, and in his hands, implements of work. Bless us." And the Father, with great joy in His Spirit, blessed and left them united in a single body, a single heart, and only one will.
