Cervantes: Our Lord Jesus Christ explains why suicide is a grave sin

The devil must be using communications technology to divert any eye from Catholic prophecies, especially those being given through credible mystics of our days. Just access Tik Tok with so many engaged in entertaining pursuits to show in it, Facebook with no less people posing with outstretched arms at the grandest background abroad or dining over much food, Instagram with its celebrities posing "hot" in posh resrts and non-celebrities aping them. The world is healing fast from a stringent pandemic. Any hint of worldwide tribulation is, to use that modern term for easy dismissal, "conspiracy theory."

But there are facts, now rushing as if in near-stampede, that are beyond denial. The antics of weather have become more cruel and widespread, experts have placed a timeline towards a world war, economic collapse and famine are crawling clearer nearer on the horizon, scientists admit historic number of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes worldwide, and astronomers are in a frenetic rush for a technology to blast threats of asteroids. The list is getting longer. Yet many sport social media blinders.

Heaven continues with appeals for conversion. Those of us who take the appeals seriously and have been helping spread its recent messages will go on for as long as circumstances allow, regardless of criticisms that we are unwanted doomsayers spoiling the fun after an unprecedented pandemic. As the messages stress, souls have to be saved.

Thus, I share more messages from Catholic mystics, again this time from stigmatist Luz de Maria de Bonilla, a third degree Augstinian,to whom OUr Lord Jesus Christ said on Oct. 29, 2022 as follows:

"My Beloved People, People of My Sacred Heart: I bless you with Faith,I bless you with Hope,I bless you with Charity...

"You are living in a spiritual warfare: the war between good and evil. The war for souls, for your souls.

"You are part of humanity and of Salvation History, therefore you must be aware of the intense times in which you are living and not allow the spiritual change that must prevail at this time to go unnoticed.

"It is important that you know the Old Testament so that what is happening at this moment would not be strange to you. Be aware of the Miracle of Love of My real Presence in the Eucharistic Food and in My People, whom I protect.

"Some of My children possess great intellectual ability, yet they do not fight against their personal ego in order to transform themselves into creatures of faith, love, kindness, serenity, consolation and charity for their fellow men - so necessary at this critical moment in which you find yourselves.

"The climate maintains its variations and its fierce action during all seasons, which will lead to the cruellest of winters.

"Pray children, pray for Russia, the United States, Ukraine and China. Pray children, pray for India: it will suffer due to nature. Pray children, pray: arms will make humanity stop. Pray children, pray: volcanoes are increasing their activity. Pray children, pray, Latin America will suffer; I suffer for it. Defend the faith, pray with the heart.

"My People, My beloved People: You will be surprised by the sudden act of using nuclear energy, which will cause Me to act with My justice. I will not allow the human race to destroy itself or the creation.

"Wake up, do not sleep! Wake up, My children!

"My Most Holy Mother keeps you in Her Immaculate Heart. This Mother who loves Her children gives you Her encouragement and Her Protection.

"My People: faith, faith, faith!

"I remain with you, delivering you from evil. You must allow Me to do so. Ask for it with faith.

"Pray, My People must intercede for humanity. My Love remains in each one of you. I protect you." (End of quote.)

Meanwhile, it is said that during the 2009 global recession, about 10,000 committed suicide in the US. Now that another recession is said to be likely, let me share what mystic Maria Valtorta (1897-1961) put on record as she, being miraculously made witness to events in the life of Our Lord, witnessed a conversation between the Christ and Judas Iscariot.

Our Lord said:

"It is true that to kill oneself is the same as killing other people. Both our own and other people's lives are the gift of God and only God Who gives life, has the authority to take it. Who kills himself, confesses his own pride, and pride is hated by God....

" And what is despair but pride? Just think, Judas. Why does one despair? Either because misfortunes persistently perturb him and he wants to overcome them by himself, but is unable to do so. Or because he is guilty and he thinks that he cannot be forgiven by God. In both cases , is not pride the basic reason? The man who wants to do all by himself, is no longer humble enough to stretch out his hand to the Father and say to Him: 'I am not able, but You are. Help me, because I hope and wait for everything from You'.

" The other man who says: 'God cannot forgive me' says so, because measuring God by his own standards, he knows that another person could not forgive him, if that person had been offended, as he offended God. So here again it is pride.

" A humble man understands and forgives, even if he suffers for the offence received. A proud man does not forgive. He is proud also because he is not capable of lowering his head and saying: 'Father, I have sinned, forgive Your poor guilty son'.

"But do you not know, Judas, that the Father will forgive everything, if one asks to be forgiven with a sincere, contrite, humble, heart willing to rise again to new life?"

"...I solemnly tell you that even after the crime of crimes, if the guilty man should rush to the Father's feet - He is called Father, Judas, just for that, and He is a Father of infinite perfection - and crying, implored Him to be forgiven, offering to expiate, without despairing, the Father would make it possible for him to expiate and thus deserve forgiveness and save his soul...

"It is not lawful to do violence to anybody, not even to oneself . They (who committed suicide) did wrong. In their limited knowledge of good , perhaps in certain cases, they had mercy from God. But after the Word has clarified the truth and has given strength to spirits with His Spirit, then who dies in despair will no longer be forgiven. Neither in the instant of the personal judgement, nor after centuries of Gehenna, on Doomsday, never! Is that hardness on God's side? No : it is justice. God will say: 'You , a creature gifted with reason and supernatural knowledge, created free by Me, you decided to follow the path you chose' and you said: 'God will not forgive me. I am separated from Him forever. I think I must apply the law by myself to my own crime. I am parting from life to evade remorse' without considering that you would no longer have felt remorse if you had come on My faithful bosom. And let it be done to you, as you judged. I will not do violence to the freedom I gave you.

"That is what the Eternal Father will say to the suicide. Meditate on it, Judas. Life is a gift, a gift to be loved. But what gift is it? A holy gift. So love it holily. Life lasts as long as the flesh holds out. Then the great Life, the eternal Life begins. A Life of blissful happiness for the just, of malediction for the unjust. Is life a purpose or a means? It is a means. It serves for a purpose which is eternity. Then let us give life what is required to make it last and serve the spirit in its conquest. Continence of the flesh in all its lusts, in all of them. Continence of the mind in all its desires, in all of them "
