Chapter: The Little Apostles and New Pharisees
July 20
Job 34:29
Jesus says:
"The Following had already been expressed since ancient times: 'If God grants peace, who can condemn?' [verse 29]
"And yet those doctors who always accused Me, and who knew the words of the Book to perfection judged differently. Why? Because they knew to the letter, but did not understand the spirit of the letter. Similar in all respects to the current doctors, who judge and condemn my beloved ones with ridiculous, cruel pretexts and Me along with them.
“They also applied condemnation to Zacchaeus. (534) God had granted peace to his repentant servant, who was going back to the house of the Father, rather than the Maser. They condemned Him and his servant because, according to them, Zacchaeus’s manner of repentance was not sufficient. It’s only natural! He lacked the hypocritical manners, entirely external, that they, the scribes and Pharisees, loved, manners used to deceive the world about an alleged sanctity which was just a sham, for their interior was and remained infected with their vices. It was true repentance of his heart.
“I said, ‘It is from the heart that the things which contaminate man emerge.’ (535) But the things which sanctify him also emerge from it. From this tabernacle, which contains your spirit, as in a golden ciborium, in which by a ‘spiritual’ ‘transubstantiation’, God becomes incarnate and resides, there emerge good thoughts, upright intentions, the firm will to be holy, the acts of heroism which give you Heaven, the sincere acts of repentance which wipe out even the vestige of your sins from the mind of God and take you to Him, and Him to you, for his kiss as Father.
“Even with my beloved ones the pharisaical world, ever-existing and at work, judges and condemns. It that one a ‘voice’? He cannot be. What did he do to deserve it?
“Nothing and everything, I reply. Nothing, if we consider his indigence as compared to the power and perfection of God. Everything, if we consider his generosity, which is entirely donated to God, and to God alone, at work under the humility of a common life, loving to the point of consuming his physical strength, obedient in great things and small, even in the trifles which I request to keep him always docile to my wish and test him continually in his meekness. Believe that only those who love ‘with their whole selves’ can give their life with a smile to the God who asks them for it, like the fruit they bring to their lips, the sacrifice of a parent or of another holy affection, the word I tell them not to pronounce, a house and bread, or the repose I tell them to cancel out in hours of profound weariness to continue to serve Me.
"If I grant them peace, who can condemn? What is there to condemn? What God judges to be deserving of blessings and caresses now and blessedness afterwards? Condemn the good they do to themselves and others? Imitate them and do not condemn them, and be ashamed of them, O useless servants, O blasphemous satans, no longer being able to serve the Lord, your God, of no longer being able to receive, comprehend, and say the words of the eternal Spirit, and of no longer being able to become bread for the souls of your fellows, but ice, venom, and a chain.
"Condemn what? The way they speak or write? Oh, observe, O angelic spirits, O blessed possessors of Paradise, the little men with spirits whose wings are broken or lacking, that no longer able to rise up in flight, judge that others cannot do so! Observe the blind moles that, unable to see the sun, deny that it exists and that others see it! Observe the songless crows that, unable to repeat the harmonies which others have learned from the Heavens, deny that the voice exists!
"Wherever the wings of the little bird in love with God do suffice, the angelic wings rush in and lift it to that height which I desire. I, I Myself, the Eagle of love, swoop down and snatch him up as far as my Paradise (536) and show him this Beauty, which you are almost unable to imagine any longer, since it seems like a fable to you, and conceal your incapacity under an avalanche of words whose meaning is this: ‘Paradise cannot be described because it is Thought.’
"It is a thought? It is reality! Speak, My little bird, that ascended (537) in the midst of the wings of the Eagle that loves you, and say whether Paradise is just thought or spiritual reality, the reality of light, song, joy, and beauty. Tell these, whose wings are dragging in the mud—because their inactivity has broken them and reduced them to dead members—what Paradise merits and how pain, poverty, and illnesses are to be greeted with a smile at the thought of this Place, where endless Joy awaits them.
"The Sun, which you can barely see behind the thick curtains of mist brought about your sensuality in flesh and thought, by your forms of rationalism, which within you shattered your capacity to believe with the simplicity of children and the firmness of the martyrs -- the Sun which you can no longer contemplate because you do no longer able to lift your heads from the heavy yoke of your humanity which overcoming the spirit in you -- while My blessed ones, stripped of every human constriction, remain with the head of their spirit always ever uplifted to worship Me – as the Sun – exists and pours out oceans of light and fire to invest these friends of mine with warmth, and robe them with splendor; for them I have prepared an eternal throne. It exists and is already theirs, for It shines over their heads as a father’s face shines over child’s cradle, and there is nothing sweeter than this devoted, jealous protection of Love which does not leave them an instant.
"You that are no longer able to sing your harmonies to God, or even tell Him you love Him, not with your mouths, but with your hearts -- and this is the harmony that God wants to hear from man -- do not then deny that these, who love Me, can repeat supernatural harmonies, learned from Me and from My saints. Those who love Me have made their spiritual voice supple by thrilling -- never tiring on account of the passage of time or the adversities in their life -- their hymn of love, and all things become a stimulus to say to Me: 'I love You.' In this way they have been able to learn to repeat the songs of Heaven.
"Oh! bless these, who uncover points and lights for you! They bring you back lights and words which your indigence does not know – the ones who, a complete slavery of love, are nailed upon a scaffold like Mine, whose base is set in mire of earth, whose summit, in the blue of the sky, bridges by which you – that are able only to crawl – may rise and know how lovely the azure is and fall in love with it and get the wish to imitate them.
"Why do you want to deny, and to say to God: ‘It is not licit for you to do this’? The apostolicity of the Church did not end with the Apostles. It continues with the lesser apostles. Every saint is one. Every 'voice' is one. And I, the ‘‘Head’ of the apostolic Church’, can choose and disseminate these little apostles of Mine everywhere for your good.
"Are they unpretentious as compared to you learned ones? And what were the first twelve? Fishermen, illiterate, ignorant. But I took them, and not the learned rabbis, because they, since they were aware of being nothing, were able to the Word, whereas the rabbis, filled with pride, lacked the ability to do so. Humility is what I seek, and if through remaining loving, pure, and generous, they became proud, I would abandon them without fail.
“There are two things which I absolutely require in them: love and faithfulness to the Truth—and not only to Truth as God, but also as Truth as virtue—and sincere humility. But I am even more inexorable regarding the latter: Pride, the sign of Satan, the first sign of Satan, drives Me away in disgust.
“Consider, then, that if I give them my peace, none of you can condemn them. In my arms they love and listen to God’s secrets and then offer them to you as God wills, to toss you a necklace of pearls of paradise which will be a guide and stairway to Heaven for you.”
"I give you My peace, My 'voice.' Rest therein like a child on his father’s breast."
