This is taken from Poem of the Man-God.
A certain man was abusing children--child beater, whose wife came to Jesus to ask for to be cured and forgiven.
It was done.
This in 4th Book: Chapter 465.
"A shabby sickly looking man follows them. He is walking with his head so bent that I cannot see his face. He approaches Jesus and striking his chest he moans: « I have sinned, Lord, and You punished me. I deserved it. But at least forgive me before You depart. Have mercy on Jacob, a sinner! » He raises his face and I recognise, rather because he mentions his name than by his worn-out appearance, the profanner who was helped first and later punished through his harshness towards the two little orphans.
« My forgiveness! Some time ago you wanted to be cured by this apostle. And you were worried because your corn was spoiled. And these apostles sowed for you (1). Are you perhaps without bread? »
« I have enough. »
« And is that perhaps not forgiveness? » Jesus is very severe.
« No. I would rather die of starvation but feeling that my mind is at rest. I tried to make amends as best I can… I have prayed and wept… But You only can forgive and give peace to my spirit. Lord, I ask but to be forgiven… »
Jesus stares at him… He makes him raise his face, which he had bowed and pierces him with His bright eyes, bending slightly over him… He then says: « Go. You will or will not be forgiven according to how you live in the time left to you. »
« Oh! my Lord! Not thus! You have forgiven graver sins… »
« They were not persons who had been assisted like you and they had not sinned against innocent children. The poor are always sacred, but orphans and widows are the most sacred of all. Do you not know the Law?… »
The man is weeping. He wanted to be forgiven at once.
Jesus resists: « You have fallen twice and you have not been in a hurry to rise… Re-member. What you, a man, allowed yourself, God can allow Himself. God is still very good if He tells you that He is not denying you forgiveness in an absolute manner, but He conditions it to the way you will live until your death. Go. »
« At least bless me… so that I may have more strength to be just. »
« I have already given My blessing. »
« No, not like that. Bless me in particular. See my heart… »
Jesus lays His hand on the man's head and says: « I have warned you. But may this caress convince you that, although I am severe, I do not hate you. My love is severe to save you, to treat you as an unhappy friend, not because you are poor, but be-cause you have been bad. Remember that I loved you, that I had mercy on your spirit and may this remembrance make you anxious to have Me no longer as a se-vere friend. »
« When, Lord? Where shall I find You if You say that You are going away? »
« In My Kingdom. »
« Which one? Where are You establishing it? I will come there… »
« My Kingdom will be in your heart if you make it good and then it will be in Heaven. Goodbye.
(1) For full details on this incident see Vol. 3, Chapter 297.
The man had been a child beater and his wife came to ask for forgiveness and was cured and forgiven on behalf of the wife. He was then later seen by Jesus beating a child. His wife came again to ask for forgiveness and perhaps to cure him. Jesus right then when He saw the man beating the child, told him, Purgatory until the Final Judgment Day.
The wife on second account of her asking forgiveness, was given a choice by Jesus: Expiation and Purgatory or Abyss.
Grave sin here.
We have Judas Iscariot who continually stole money, slept with women, and other sins, while being an Apostle.
Which Jesus says, to help these kinds. Jesus says, how many are like Judas in future times.
To aid them, they are sick souls who need to remain in the Light and live apart from which makes them sin. Like magnets that draws them. Deprive them of what makes them stumble back into sins. Teach them to be holy and pure,
sterile from the world which is a great well of vices which leads to ultimate death.
A lot of work and patience are needed, much grief will come, scandals, all sorts. Their souls are a wasteland, and not the dominant. Their lustful selves are the dominant, dominated by the senses, the seven deadly sins and vices.
They need to be kept away from what grants them sins.
--the soul is the garden and the will is the cultivator of this garden. A soul can become polluted with vices.
The mind and will are bent to vices.
They need to reform, be recreated at the core. They need to have and can be done.
Jesus speaks of many who were terrible violators who later became saints--these unknown to the masses.
It is grueling way to live, but Jesus is there to aid.
To raise ones self up to Him and always know what makes one sin. The will to sin. The will is bent to do evil.
God's will needs to be meditated on; Christ's words in the Gospel needs to be meditated on. It does not happen over night. As one succeeds little by little and these little are great mountains to overcome, to spend time meditating on good thoughts.
No doubt the Evil One will parade and harass and he will send temptations to lure you to sin and lose Eternal Life.
Thus one has to know how Satan works.
Thus one has to know God fully and have His thoughts dwell richly in you creating a new ego of good only. Eradicating all the vices in ones heart, need virtues. To live a virtuous life of justice in God.
God's will for them is live free of sin and become holy and pure. So they can be with Him forever in Paradise.
Peace be with you always
