    The Heart and Blood of Man the Human Being. Empty The Heart and Blood of Man the Human Being.

    Post by Poem



    If you have taken the time to read through the many comments by Jesus in the Notebooks and those that are not translated into English and sold, but given by Jesus dictated by Maria Valtorta the topic being Christ on Man's Two Opposed Memories, then you would know quite a bit more.

    Link to Brother Chrys's page: http://www.bardstown.com/~brchrys/Memories.html

    What may happen after reading through while reading through?  First reaction?  Anger, disdain, sadness, regret, remorse, which while reading shows forth ones vices or virtues one has growing.

    Anger is a vice.  Sadness, remorse, regret are borderline virtues.  The true response of a virtuous person responds by, thanking God for the knowledge. Thanksgiving. The impact may be great, but after a while this knowledge become food and nutrition. When we thank God for such knowledge, we understand Him better and He responds by granting more knowledge to be used for growth of the soul.  Increase.  Then with each increase comes more thanksgiving, then God grants more upto a limit for a creature of His.

    He wants man to not stay stagnant but active in love, actively loving His God and those around him. Love being the greatest of all. Because God is this way. To imitate God in such fashion and ways, character, thoughts, altruism.  For the good of all.  The very best of good which is above man's good. Man without God cannot elevate and soar in the ether where spirits roam freely. The good spirits. The evil ones have a certain aura, cannot mistake the two. Unless one is still under the domain of the evil one living a life of vice.  

    The mind of man his intelligence, intellect is built over time from infancy and can be reconstructed with new thoughts.   This is possible with evil as well as good.

    Must choose and strengthen the will. The will has to be strong and high to protect the garden --the soul, which is the intelligence of man--the living life giving entity which God created. The soul animates the flesh.

    When the mind of man is but flesh, human ego, the spiritual soul, is embryonic hasn't had the time nor the care to grow it.  Thus man in the flesh, his human ego controls the host all the time.  He is at this point in the venture, all human.

    So now on to the spiritual findings. 

    First God is simple. Love which God is and possesses is also simple. Nothing complicated, very straight forward, he says to love, how simple can that be to say it this way?
    Very simple.

    He could have said, you have to jump through ten million hoops, run ten thousand miles, give ten million dollars then, you will have learned to love and have love more abundantly. Ergo, Jesus said, I came to give life.

    Now on a different thought, those not acquainted with God feel like outsiders--these are foreign thoughts and words to them, they are not in with God. And the thoughts are ...eh? What? Simply because they have no deep memory of God, nor deep thoughts. They do not have God has their God.

    back...
    No He simply says to love one another, in good will then you will be on your way to a higher love, to build it. Teaching to build instead of tearing down, like a Good Father. God is the Good Father like no one has ever had, above and beyond what we can describe in mere human defining.  

    God is first of all a Spirit, the Supreme Spirit, and can only be communicated to by spirits which man has one himself. If the soul/spirit is embryonic and in the grave like the majority need to get out of the grave and grow.  The methods are prescribed by Jesus the Master Teacher.

    The Holy Spirit then after being Baptized and partaking in the Sacraments--conditions laid by Jesus the Master Teacher, then one becomes an infant and then a child, always a child. If you have noticed by reading St Azariah the angel himself is a child with great wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Extremely.

    God created a son, as a child of His.  His daughter as a child of His. Children of God.

    Now children of God are different in definition from children of human flesh or man and woman's child who grow to become adult looking outwardly.

    God has placed all things according to His Design, it is His mystery and Creation.  We are to be children of God and not the children of Satan.

    So now the lesson is this:

    Jesus explains to Maria about man's two opposed memories how the Evil one bit Adam's heart and poisoned him thoroughly bringing death. And with death, diseases, illnesses, and so on, what is not good. A deluge of imperfections deforming the Perfect Man and Woman God created. Sin and Death brought all these to man. Nothing else.

    The heart of man was bitten by the serpent. Woman was seduced and made a seductress of the Evil One to do his evil to man. He turned the woman into a lust craving flesh.

    Jesus explains that if Adam went to God, after finding out that the woman went to the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil--or Lucifer-- Satan--Serpent and asked God to heal her right then, then Adam would have remained without Sin.  God would have in fact healed her at that point.  This was explained in the first book or second book of PoMG.

    Jesus throughout the dictations, which Maria had written, explains in great detail all that has not been revealed up that point in our Church History. 

    In fact just by reading PoMG, there is quite a bit not mentioned nor written prior a great deal more.  Man today wants to know the details at least I do and my cohorts. We want to know what caused this mess and how to avoid it in the future. We want to have the life as Jesus has given to us in His own words. Nothing like having the word from the maker, the Author.  Second hand doesn't do justice, need to hear it from the Source.  Thus the Gospel is in a way the starting point for this to take place.  The Gospel is an all in all and gives way to higher life in God.

    The Holy Spirit given back, the Sacraments to assist and give way for God to work with us and convert us back to what we should be but better than the first, because Jesus comes directly from God the Only Begotten of God. Adam being the first created. And if Adam had not fallen, all would have been begotten of God afterwards. God's sons.

    Now to recreate man in Jesus image as flesh, Jesus gives to man his heart and blood in the Eucharist. 

    Several points to consider.

    1 The Heart of Adam was bitten and stained. The heart is a muscle an organ that pumps precious blood, which is the life of creatures. No blood you are dead. Jesus gives his to create new heart and new blood. Transformation, transubstantiation. Recreation, metamorphosis.

    2 What grows first in the womb is the heart. Need blood to circulate to carry nutrients and water to the body so it can sustain life thereby grow from an embryo to an infant.
    No blood equals no flesh and it is a dead thing.

    3 Life is in the blood for creatures, meaning the flesh.

    Old Testament Verses.

    1 "Because the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you, that you may make atonement with it upon the altar for your souls, and the blood may be for an expiation of the soul."
    [Leviticus 17]

    2 "For the life of all flesh is in the blood: therefore I said to the children of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it, shall be cut off."
    [Leviticus 17]


    So there is a misnomer here.  God is telling man that the life of an animal and a creature is in the blood.  

    Jesus explains what happened to Adam. Animals and man have a flesh body, but the animal Man is God's son. The animals are Man's friends and companions which God created and gave to man as comfort of love.  God created from Love for Man his Son. Gave man animal companions.

    Now the two are in rationalism when trying to compare.  A wrong way to think.

    Man is not entirely an animal, he has a soul. An animal has no soul. Categories are different, not only in word and thought but in creation entirely not the same species.

    Man's science fails and is imperfect, God's science created us and them and all things.  Who is man to meander with God's science?  Man has no knowledge of God's Science. Instead man dissects and mutilates God's created to the maximum degree. Mutilation's occur of something that was created perfectly.  Who is man to think he is on the level of a God?  Can man create an animal from nothing? Cannot. He has to use what is present to try and recreate and finds out it doesn't last and the latter is a mutilated something.

    So in the same way, man does not understand what happened in the Garden of Eden and thus runs in error to find an answer to the big question which is like a butterfly.

    Man does not know that is why God is still in Heaven and has not come down.  Man remains in the error.

    Jesus then says, what I do you can do also.  Jesus states to imitate Him, follow him be like him, assimilate him be little Jesus's to the world around bring souls to the Kingdom of Heaven, give them the Life. Transform them for good pastures which awaits those whom love and are good willed.

    Jesus gives us His Heart and His Precious Blood to recreate man's heart and blood removing the Serpents poison, what had been done to Man.

    A new heart and new blood without sin and the stain of it.  A pure blood, a good heart.

    Old Testament verses pertaining to Christ's Donation

    1 "And I will give them one heart, and will put a new spirit in their bowels: and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:"
    [Ezechiel (Ezekiel) 11]

    2 "And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh."
    [Ezechiel (Ezekiel) 36]

    Eucharist, Sacraments.

    Baptism takes away the stain of Sin but does not grant a new heart.

    Eucharist grants a new heart.

    I will give them one heart: Jesus Heart to all so all man can have the same heart, which if Adam had not fallen all begotten would have this same heart. So man is able to have the most perfect Heart and with it His Blood. Jesus's

    A new spirit here is referring to, a spirit come alive and thriving, vivified by Grace. Reborn into Grace.

    Very simple.

    If you understand what really happened then you understand God's methods.

    God provides for man a new.  God's favorite creature is man.  He made this Universe with all that is in it for man.  An unfathomable Gift.
    God simply created and gave. Altruism. God's level is beyond man at this point. But in Heaven man will know all be given his stature which God had
    ordained and set.  However it requires, time in the spirit, not in the flesh.

    In the old testament times, men were not given back the Holy Spirit--Grace in full measure, but they had portions which God chose these few men and women to bring His Word. The Cherub bringing the coals to purify their lips. God has ways to do things we are not privy to nor see.  It is God's mystery.  He does it all.

    Thus man in rationalism says counter to and otherwise, missing the blessing and the words of Wisdom.

    God said through Christ, I will make new.   New means 'New.' Not old and remain thus.  

    God created perfection and man must return to this perfect state from which he fell, to once again be God's sons and daughter. A perfect God who created perfectly.

    Sin brings destruction perfectly.  God created this angel in perfection. So he perfectly opposes God by destroying. A true menace.  A very unruly evil presence.

    Lucifer incubated evil in himself and opposed God. Thus bringing man down from his kingdom of peace.
    Lucifer brought all these horrors upon man to reduce as you will the creation which God created in retaliation to God.

    He simply became evil and opposed God. He was taken over by an evil.

    Thus the Evil Presence was expelled to Hell. The Evil is cunning, crafty, intelligent, astute, in infinite ways. It is similar to a god, with knowledge and wisdom, which twists the knowledge of God around so it sounds good but is never good. Yet is still a created creature spirit. Not a God.

    So now we know God's plan to give man back what He lost:
    1 Grace
    2 His heart and blood.
    3 Equals new life with God forever.

    Peace be with you always

    Poem

    Post Sat Nov 19, 2022 4:20 pm by Poem



    Jesus commented quite a bit to Maria Valtorta of the meaning of Grace.

    God being  the Supreme Knowledge and Wisdom, --infinite, and His thoughts --infinity, each subject being infinity, Grace is really quite a long infinite subject.

    In fact with God, think of God as an Infinite Knowledge Bank.  Like a dictionary, similar.  In the dictionary are words and there intended definitions.
    Explaining what a word means and somehow used.  So from this Infinite Mind, which dwells and has the characteristics of infinity He simply has all
    the definitions so He can give understanding. To understand.  An infinity bank.  Continuous, this is just the knowledge portion of this Infinite Being who thoughts are infinity. His character is the quality of Infinity. So when God speaks a few words, He sums up the infinity to smaller beings who are unable to comprehend at that level of 'infinity' in a way we can. But we must be in Grace. Spirit to spirits. Sin causes Grace to leave.

    Grace then is an infinite entity. As God is the God of the Living. God's words have entity which gives its essence. So whatever comes from God has entity. He spoke and the worlds were made. He spoke and man was created. He spoke and the Holy Spirit descended.  Entity.  God is living Entity full and thorough.

    Thus Grace which equals many things from God, God gives us the base to begin with and then more as we grown to be able to comprehend and understand, to explain to man what Grace is so man can know -to fallen man with a soul. We progress in the knowledge which God has available for a spirit. Grow the understanding with wisdom from God. Wisdom is a teacher and a wealth of knowledge is infinite. No end. Thus God who created Wisdom for the benefit of others--altruism, uses Wisdom as a teacher granting infusions of knowledge to gain understanding.

    Since God is a Spirit who created souls and generates them and places them in the womb, lets now focus speaking in spiritual words a bit more. Rather than the human ego and human descriptions.

    As explained by Jesus,  the flesh is unable to comprehend anything above it. Above meaning what is of God and it is not spirit.  Spiritual minds, spiritual growth of the soul. It learns, absorbs through the light. It can be taught the opposite as happened with Adam and the Woman, converting it to sin doing evil wickedness great harm and ruins. As these first two had the fullness of Grace and the Godhead upon them and around them. They were in paradise. God is Paradise. His dwelling is Paradise. He brings portions of Paradise to souls living in Grace upon the earth. Jesus said My Peace I leave you, My Peace I give unto You, not as the world gives, but as I give it.  Paraphrased and made simple for you to understand.

    What then are the characteristics of Paradise which God created? Peace, Love, Joy --there is no evil here. Hell is for the wicked and evil where God is not present and dwelling there. There is no Grace there. God spoke and Hell was instantly created, faster than a blink of human eye.

    God is Peace. Peace equals Paradise.  Man lives upon the earth no longer in Peace fully and saturated by Peace the entire earth. His surroundings are chaos, perturbation, mass annihilation. And there dwells good and evil creating an atmosphere not favorable to God to come and rest.

    Where God is, is Heaven = Paradise. God is all of these, He Is. God is a living being. Whatever he does is also living or His Actions are Living things=entity.
    His motion is living and alive on a level incomprehensible, unfathomable. He simply generates Living Entity and what come as a result is a living entity.

    He speaks to create something, they become living entity, because He is the Bounty of Living Things. Living Generator that produces living Entities.
    Our souls come from Him. He is a Living Being, an small example not a Satan who has life as a spirit but is a dead thing. He removed from himself this Living Grace. No Grace, equals no God for any spirit. God is the Generator and He supplies directly nutrition for spirits. Light.

    What is a Satan? An entity that once was in Grace, created by Grace for the benefit of all an Evil entity that came as a result of as Jesus explains mixture of gasses and things to concoct and produce an opposite. Alchemy. He, Satan created these and was tossed into the abyss. Thus all the other words that describe what witchcraft produces. God then had men write down but does not delight in speaking about it because God is Good and wants only Good.
    Thus Lucifer and those like him are examples of wills gone wrong. The Lord created and said 'good.' Thus we must be 'good.' Perfection created good to have good and be good only. He God is the Creator and instructor. He created then instructed. But since rebels resulted as they were wanting more, such as Lucifer wanting more than he had, thought he could imitate God at God's level. And was cast into the abyss. Lucifer thought he could out do God and take over Heaven and God' Throne. Thus cast down and fell to the earth. This is mystery here, was cast out of Heaven and fell down to the earth to incite and instigate man to aid him in overthrowing God and Heaven. Book of Revelations. It is a war that is current. We are living in this battle between Satan and God. But God keeps the surroundings as if it is not to our view. Instead we see scrummages. One side against the other in every faucet.
    Opposition. Heaven, Paradise, this does not exist--Peace reigns and gives -incomprehensible to us here, the infinity of Peace. To us a butterfly upon thought because of evil. Lucifer then fell to the earth being cast out for trying to take it over--battle.

    Grace then which God has and is, is Life.  From Grace comes Life and living Entity which supplies life to souls and spirits. Soul of man and his spirit and spirits which are angels.  Upon the land of the living things meaning this earth, since man has not all died in the flesh and returned to the dust, each soul that is still not taken somewhere, has time to come to know God and love Him until the soul departs the flesh which returns to dust.

    In the abyss of Hell, Hell is a place for souls and spirits who did not love God nor his neighbor. Simply put. No love, or a great lack of it.

    As long as the soul does not respond like Lucifer or the other thief at Golgotha, or like Cain or Judas Iscariot, the soul is not gone to good will and God.

    Jesus asked the Father to save Judas Iscariot, (conversation Jesus had is recorded in PoMG) during His prelude to the Passion.  He asked for pardon for Judas and wanted to save Judas.  Jesus is the Mercy and the Compendium of God's Love full and complete, consumed with Love. Consume here meaning filled to the brim and overflowing with loving consumption. Grace is this way. Grace is really an infinite entity which God calls Grace the total package.

    Grace then in good terms only, is light, love, joy, wisdom, understanding and whatever it grants and has to offer --only Good. No evil no wickedness, no vice, no strange thoughts, no outlandish behavior,  but the very best of God's level of everything good. And we are not in Heaven to witness the Fullness of Grace at that level.

    Levels of Grace. The earth once had a higher level but sin removed it, and Jesus has made it available to a level which man with sinners and evil cannot have the entirety like it once was and is the higher level in Heaven. Kind of lower than what was once. But is greater than what man without Grace does not have. Due to evil concupiscence passed on in the flesh. God said to St. Paul, my grace is sufficient for you.  Which means God knows how much you can receive while upon the earth.

    Interesting points of how much a soul is capable of receiving. It really depends on how much the soul has grown in 'love.' The science of God's Love.

    Levels and stages does each soul grow when attached to God until fully grown or what it's capacity is as each soul is God's created child. And adorns and gifts each soul according to how it responds to Grace. How much a soul builds in itself Grace and keeps it to use it for good actions. Thus the thoughts must be converted to good and the dictionary of Good.

    Jesus explains that God is Grace, the Holy Spirit is Grace, which states that Grace is infinite goodness and love. God's Bounty for spirits whatever it needs, requires, and more. When man or any spirit does not have Grace, it is out of Life. The Source Being God. God Generates graces, like the earth generates vegetation.  Vegetation requires rain or water and sunshine with nutrients.  Grace then is all of these, rain or water, sunshine with nutrients for souls and spirits. Man has a soul and within the soul lies the spirit.  Angels, are spirits, they do not have souls.  A soul is a special creation made to live with the flesh. Thus housing as you will, a spirit. So a soul is a barrier as explained by Jesus to Maria Valtorta, for the spirit a protective layer. It protects the spirit from invading the spirit.  Only Sin and Evil, submission to these, deteriorates the protective layer punching holes to break through to kill the spirit, meaning making the spirit dull, lifeless, but living in the grave with the top on it.

    A spirit that is angel class, doesn't have flesh thus not requiring the soul to dwell in.  A spirit of man dwells in his soul.

    Thus Grace fortifies, invigorates, supplies all necessary to the spirit.  To have the spirit alive and thriving.  
    To have greater knowledge and understanding the spirit communes with God-Grace. It's a package deal here. You get what you require.
    As God said to St. Paul, my grace is sufficient.

    Jesus then explains that what is allowed at present upon the earth both good and evil, is a good which God allows. Thus St. Paul learned this truth and wrote it down.  And he thanked God for evil as well as the good done to him and around him.  Because God allows it. Whatever God allows is a good, and God does not think in terms of Evil, but He sees all this mess as a good to lead man to understand the differences and make the good choice only. Which the end result hopefully man will learn to avoid the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil--Or Lucifer who became Satan.

    So in the world is evil and wickedness and it comes from men and women, but was originated by Satan and let loose.

    Thus Grace works with what is available in this hell to bring souls out of it to have Heaven.  Hell is wherever God is not present fully and is allowed to dwell.  God does not dwell in Hell. If you have hell in you, God is leading you to greener pastures if you pay attention and do what He says.

    A lamb strays in to the vines with pricks and is stuck. Jesus the Good Shepard, comes a searching for it to take it back to the Fold. He sends messengers and herders --to go and find it.  Hell are these viny pricks upon the earth.  This hell is not like Purgatory or the abyss, it is a level which is below Heaven.
    The greater Hell is below the earth.

    The fire and brimstone is the final endless torture for spirits the greater version of Hell. In fact it's not called Hell. Read Revelations. There are some loose definitions in the Old Testament, and the Jews referred to the final version of tortured place to some other name.

    Grace does not dwell with sinners, meaning does not alight and descend into them, or saturate, absorb them. Fill them, cover them, like a water, like a blanket of. Fully consumed by Grace.  As fire consumes, Grace consumes, but this consumption leads to Life as alive and thriving, consumed with living goodness, full of life. Which equates to joy anon. Peace anon.  

    While upon the earth, man is able to have, a level of Grace. Grace can do what we cannot by ourselves. Meaning Grace enhances a being.
    It gives from Its Bounty to spirits and the flesh does benefit. The Holy Spirit is this Grace and brings Grace.

    To define this Grace is the Holy Spirit who is God the Third Person who is more that what we comprehend in our current state. As Jesus has stated more than once, in Heaven we will have all and know all. At present man still has concupiscence, sensuality, pride and all this vice which God would burn to ash if He decided to come and pay a visit. Burned to ash. God abhors vehemently 'pride' which is the face of Satan. Can you imagine what Satan's face looks like his countenance? Imagine for a moment you are God and this angel you created goes from very beautiful to very ugly and is opposing you, proud as hell and wants to take you down. Cast out as is. This evil is not any other. It is unruly, vehement, unfathomable hate beyond comprehension that its hatred consumes fully and entirely turning whatever it comes in contact with into evil like itself after having burned it of good. This evil has a power of hatred of the likes of which is the opposite of the very good. No Peace, No Love, No Joy, just evil that emanates an unthinkable hate. This is what is in Hell the abyss. This is what man calls good and runs after it. This is what man does not know. Polar opposite of good. If the sun gives good heat and supplies good, this sun of hatred does the opposite. It destroys and turns the spirit into a heap of destruction. A wasteland where nothing good dwells. It spews wretchedness.

    God is perfect and is all good. So spiritual beings can be all good.  Evil comes from and originates from Lucifer. Which also can be taught and consumed.
    This evil is Graceless and gives destruction, while thinking it is good, a deception to the mind, the mind is being told it is good, while being destroyed and destroying ruining the spirit after it has punched through the soul.

    Grace then fortifies against such evil. The soul being the protective layer for the spirit to keep the spirit from death. Remember Death here means, no Grace. It is living but does not have the Life.  Life meaning alive and thriving.  Not the flesh. The flesh merely exists and partakes. The soul is where Grace comes to dwell.  

    Thus without Grace, a soul perishes and finds itself separated from the Source, no longer attached and dwelling in the infinite ocean.  But wanders in the desert of dryness. Grace is Life. The desert is lifeless. Satan is a destroyer.  

    Grace in this description like electricity for things, if you remove the electric, the thing no longer works.

    Grace is like the electric which supplies energy to something.  

    Grace then supplies what is sufficient for spirits. God being the Source of Bounty. Grace then is an infinite treasure which grants whatever the being requires to have Life. A good life only according to God's good.





    Peace be with you always

    CHRIST


    ON


    MAN'S TWO



    OPPOSED MEMORIES



    †
     


    – From the Mystical Revelations of Maria Valtorta –


     
    ___________________________________________________________
     


    — INTRODUCTORY NOTE —

    The following very brief article: "Christ on Man's Two Opposed Memories," is taken from Valtorta's recently published [2006] collection of random Dictations and Visions, entitled, Quadernetti. Like previous Quadernetti excerpts, this is its first translation into English for this website, and it gives us, in Christ's own words, an interesting insight into the ancient on-going conflict of memories within man inherited as a result of the Sin of our First Parents.
    — Translator


    [March 13, 1948]1

    JESUS:

    In man there are two memories opposed to each other: the memory of the Infinite Good; the memory of the hereditary lustful poison. The first, was left by God for the consolation of man, fallen from his primeval and perfect Grace and Innocence, from that virginity of spirit which, except for Mary, was no longer a dowry among those born of man. The second memory, was left by Satan in the heart of Adam and in those of his descendants, with his assault of the innocent virginity of Adam in Eden.

    Baptism annuls the stain but not the incitement. Grace infuses strength to conquer the incitement but does not annul it. It remains like a secret thorn to irritate the indelible scar of the Fault. Not the wound: the scar. But if you are not vigilant, the scar, if irritated and not treated with supernatural means, becomes a wound again.

    In every man there are then two opposed forces which fight in him from birth till death and which constitute his test, his victory or his defeat with regard to his supernatural destiny.

    You [Maria] ask Me why God leaves this incitement even after the restoration of Grace [in man]? Out of justice. All in God is justice. His every operation is justice and loving justice.

    Has not God perhaps left the memory of Himself in the soul created by Him? That memory which is a mysterious source of light which guides to the Light, though sensed in a different way by every living spirit, as is demonstrated by the moral laws of the best [civilizations] and by the more or less vivid gleams of supernatural light in the various revealed religions. Though these latter possess only fragmentary notions, they already teach the existence of a Supreme Being and the duty to live justly in order to possess Him beyond life.

    Thus similarly, besides this infinite goodness, God leaves [in you] the other memory represented by the thorn of incitement. This keeps your pride at heel. If you felt that you were pure and perfect men, you would become Lucifers, believing that you are equal to God. It keeps your good will vigilant. It makes your love for God heroic. And, through the Father's compassion, it renders your faults less grave in His Eyes. Because, if you did not have in yourselves that incitement which agitates and bites your senses and reason with the cunning of the ancient Serpent, who generates it, you would not be judged "with mercy".

    But much is forgiven you because much in yourselves is aroused not by your pure will, but by the imponderable forces of that incitement—which you do not always succeed in repressing.

    But do not afflict yourself, [Maria]. It, too, serves to give a crown of glory. Because temptation is temptation; it is not sin. Because temptation conquered, is victory. Because enduring that secret thorn, without the will consenting to its seductions, is heroic patience. But the Holy Spirit will speak to you again about this in the Pauline Epistles.

    Stay at peace. And endure. And offer [your sufferings] to save those who do not know how to endure the inherited allurements, without yielding [to them].
