The Book of Truth:

Intellectual Religious Snobbery offends Me

June 15, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

Today, My daughter, I want to warn those devoted followers of Mine, who publicly proclaim My Name, to follow the Truth of My Teachings and to tread carefully.I love all My followers and especially those who show humility at all times.

I become frustrated, however, when solemn and earnest Christians, who speak My Word, try to analyse My Teachings in a loud and dictatorial manner. Not enough is it to spread My Word, they feel they must bring My Teachings into a human intellectual debate, which serves only one purpose.

To prove to others that they are more qualified to understand My Most Holy Word. So intent are they to prove that they are right in their discernment, that they divide My true followers. Their solemn and earnest devotion to Me can often render them impotent in their real love for Me, which should always stem from humility.

They must keep their loud voices, full of intellectual criticism, quiet. They must stop, listen to My Voice and resist the urge to prove their knowledge of spiritual matters to others. When they do this they are guilty of the sin of pride. They do not know Me at all. Because they do not take the time to stay quiet and humble themselves before My Eyes, which are all-seeing. Until these solemn followers of mine become little in My Eyes and lower themselves before Me, I will not be able to draw them to Me.

Glorify Me. Honour My Word. Follow My example. Never persecute others in My Name, especially your fellow Christians.

Your beloved Teacher and Saviour
Jesus Christ”

My Prophets

November 30, 1998

„… and as for unifying the dates of Easter, My Vassula, I am still at their doors waiting,

as a beggar waiting for alms, I am still waiting for them to unify those dates … they keep talking about unity and brotherhood; only conversion of the heart will bring them with humility into the path of unity; …”

(Message to someone.)

peace be with you;

the coming of My reign on earth is at hand and My Will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven1 and in your hearts I shall rebuild the unity of My Church,

I shall not wait any longer for human approval and My Bride shall once more be vested in glittering Glory;

the ban of division shall be lifted and the Woman clothed in splendour in the sun, whom I am sending before Me to educate you, will encourage you; I have given Her the power over every race and every land to open a broad pathway for Me; …”

(Notebook 111)

Vassula, give Me your attention and listen well; pen every word you hear…

… as I was saying to you in the beginning4, have your mind oriented on the Orient; the light shall rise from there and everything will take the shape of a blossoming garden; I have had My Heart set on the Orient from the outset; …”

Orthodox:

„26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having purified himself, he entered the temple with them, making public the completion of the days of purification when the sacrifice would be made for each of them.

Paul Arrested in the Temple

27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, who had seen him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd. They seized him, 28 shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against our people, our law, and this place; more than that, he has actually brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.” 29 For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. 30 Then all the city was aroused, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut. 31 While they were trying to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. When they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. „

They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, an hour is coming when those who kill you will think that by doing so they are offering worship to God. 3 And they will do this because they have not known the Father or me. 4 But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you about them.

The Work of the Spirit

I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate[a] will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about[b] sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; 11 about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. „

Tuesday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time

Lectionary: 366

Reading I

2 Cor 8:1-9

We want you to know, brothers and sisters, of the grace of God
that has been given to the churches of Macedonia,
for in a severe test of affliction,
the abundance of their joy and their profound poverty
overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.
For according to their means, I can testify,
and beyond their means, spontaneously,
they begged us insistently for the favor of taking part
in the service to the holy ones,
and this, not as we expected,
but they gave themselves first to the Lord
and to us through the will of God,
so that we urged Titus that, as he had already begun,
he should also complete for you this gracious act also.
Now as you excel in every respect,
in faith, discourse, knowledge, all earnestness,
and in the love we have for you,
may you excel in this gracious act also.

I say this not by way of command,
but to test the genuineness of your love
by your concern for others.
For you know the gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that for your sake he became poor although he was rich,
so that by his poverty you might become rich.

Gospel

Mt 5:43-48

Jesus said to his disciples:
“You have heard that it was said,
   You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father,
for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good,
and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?
Do not the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brothers only,
what is unusual about that?
Do not the pagans do the same?
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.””
