COMMENTARY UPON MESSAGES

November 13th, 1981

There are some parts to comment in this message:

"I know you suffer a lot, my daughter; how I know such horrible torments! And I suffered them for such an ungrateful Humankind (…). Listen to me, my Victim Heart is tired of the ungratefulness of my beloved children, I am not talking about the wickedness of impious people, but the malice of Christians" (the Lord)

In this world, suffering is unavoidable. It is a reality in our lives and an experience all human beings have to go through with more or less intensity. In this sense, they are victims of physical pain or moral sorrow those who suffer because of violence, those who endure illness, children who are killed inside their mother’s womb, those people who are oppressed, despised… all of them take part in Christ’s Cross somehow. Among them, there are some who rebel, desperate under the yoke of suffering; others are simply resigned; nevertheless, some people accept this inexorable weight consoling themselves with the words of the Gospel: "For my yoke is easy, and my burden light" (Mt 11,30). If we look at Luz Amparo, we can say she belongs to those souls named "victims" who share that state with the Innocent Victim, Jesus Christ, making amends for Humankind sins with their immolation and sufferings.

Actually, we take part in Jesus’ Passover, in His Passion, Death, and Resurrection; by means of Baptism, we have joined the suffering mission and the holy destiny of the Head of the Mystical Body: Christ. Taking our daily cross, doing our duties responsibly, assisting solicitously our brother in his needs, etc…they are ways of taking part in the Redeemer’s Sacrifice and offering our lives together with the Immaculate Lamb’s.

The words in this message expressing the Lord’s complaint about not so much "The wickedness of impious people, but the malice of Christians" are especially touching. Likewise the psalm 41 (40) says: "Even my most trusted friend, with whom I shared my food, has lifted his heel against me" (v.10). Here Jesus refers to Judas by whom these words were extremely fulfilled: "I know those whom I have chosen. But so that the Scripture might be fulfilled; the one who ate my food has raised his heel against me" (Jn 13,18).

The following lines of the message are impregnated with both sorrow and sweetness, and they speak for themselves: "I have used all my wisdom, my daughter, to give them all the means of achieving the joy of my eternal Kingdom, all my tenderness to charm them, my goodness and my mercy, my riches, my magnificence and my love; but they do not want anything, they are ungrateful. I have done for them what I would have done for my own children; they deserve nothing. Everything I have done for them -for all of them, I have done it (…). For all of them I ascended to Heaven returning to My Father’s Bosom, and for all of them I performed the miracle of the Eucharist’s consecration to remain here with them. For all of them, not only for a few, I am enclosed in that sacrament night and day, sad, suffering. For all of them I established my extraordinary priesthood and - for all of them - my Holy Church with its assistances (…). I am not complaining about the enemy or his followers, because they are dammed, I am complaining about those who, being mine, support the action of evil".

And despite this, despite these complaints about our sins and forgetfulness, the Saviour’s hurt Heart declares his love for souls, He indicates them the way and He warns them of dangers. " My daughter, tell them that they still have time. Come to me, as once I told you: "Come to me, all you who carry heavy burdens and I will help you to unburden you". Come repentant and contrite, making efforts to subdue the evil tendencies of your passions and the charms that the World, the Devil and the Flesh show you as they did in the Paradise of your first natural parents.

With beautiful words He proposes himself as a model and an example to imitate: " From the very first moment up to the last one in this life, I searched sacrifice, poverty, humbleness, discomfort in everything. For this, I was born in a winter night, in the middle of ices, on the straws of a crib of animals, to offer My Father the repairing and propitiatory sacrifice of paying the Divine Justice for your sins, my children".

By means of images and words He reveals Luz Amparo some eternal truths. Firstly, He clearly talks about the terrible reality of eternal damnation: "Look at these caverns, how they are filled with the wicked, the unjust, sinners, how they rub on fire; they are evil spirits, my daughter. Think that Hell is full of sinners and it lasts forever. Some people think: How is God – being merciful - going to punish them this way? Yes, my daughter, He is merciful, but He is just and He gives everyone what he or she deserves. Immediately, encouraging her hope, He shows her the consoling image of some celestial abodes: "Look, my daughter, you are going to see a part of Heaven so that you do not remain horrified, with such a bad impression: look how much happiness! Look how much sweetness! Look how much peace! Look how much joy! Here there is not any envy, there is not any suffering, everything is love! Where I am, suffering can never exist"

He finishes giving us some warnings and advices related to what he has just said: "Warn everybody, tell them that they should convert themselves, I do not want them to be damned; tell them it, my daughter, tell it to everybody (…). They should be humble too, my daughter; humbleness is the main point to get to Heaven. Tell it to everybody, my daughter (…). Fulfil my Mother’s messages and your celestial Father’s messages" (to be continued)
