Jesus says:

"All My words are Holy, but the multitudes are not holy. "You must therefore be as prudent as serpents" to 'avoid' the 'insidious coils' of 'the great serpent that is the spirit of the world,' who suffocates and poisons what is good and leads it astray so that good will serve as a pretext for evil."

"The times in which you are living, my poor friends, are even more filled with acrimony and a spirit contrary to God than they were when I was judged by a handful of men rendered mad by sin. It is thus necessary to be vigilant, for the chance to harm enemies would be seized at once, to incite the throngs for unholy aims which are clothed in an appearance of goodness, but underneath are just a seething of passions and social ambitions.

"My Word of Truth must not serve lies. My Word of Mercy must not serve acts of revenge. Be careful, then.

"Father [Miglorini] must know how to act more than you. Let him pray; both of you pray. 'The "Holy Spirit" will help you.' Always remember that you are holding medicines suitable for the care of souls and that souls are in very bad shape because of the ruin occaisoned them by passions and sins. They are lacerated by the internal explosions of Evil and have been bled by the sins which the exterior gives them. They are one big sore and are exhausted. Like doctors, you must have a right touch and supreme patience to treat these poor wounded souls and transfuse Life into them.

"I cannot avoid saying what I say, and you cannot avoid receiving what I tell you. But that doesn't eliminate the fact that good sense is needed in using my gift.

"Act as with Sister Benigna. Not an open, resounding dissemination, but a slow, ever broader outpouring--and it should remain nameless. This is for the protection of your spirit, which pride might disturb, and your person, which doesn't need other forms of agitation. When your hand is still in peace during the wait to rise again in glory, then---only then will your name be mentioned.

"To be persecuted because of love for Me is a glory. But I have so few friends and such rare spokesman that I do not want them to be disturbed or destroyed by the world's hatred. I have pity on souls and protect the bearers of My Voice like--and more than---Myself.

"Have no illusions about obtaining much with my Words. They fall upon souls almost entirely dead. But until the end we must attempt salvation of hearts. We have been formed for this, my brother and sister. We thus bring souls succumbing to the asphyxia of the world, the senses, and money to inhale true oxygen. We accomplish our work. If they remain lifeless boulders, all the worse for them.

"I have spoken to you with words of twenty centuries ago, for they are always as recent and always as sweet as they were then because I am Eternal and Faithful, and you, that succeed one another over the centuries, are always my apostles of the present hour, my friends, the executors of the Will of the Father and of my desires.

"I give you my Peace, O my blessed ones!"

Sister Benigna Consolata Ferrero (1885-1916)
