EVEN through two years of pandemic, we can discern from the internet and other forms of media an unrepentant mankind, especially viewed against the backdrop of one very significant revelation from the Blessed Mother in her apparitions in Fatima in 1917.
At Fatima, visionary Jacinta quoted our Blessed Mother as saying: “The sins which cause most souls to go to hell are the sins of the flesh.”
Regardless of Covid-19, sins of the flesh through pornography have remained accessible on the internet even via inexpensive phones. Why, recent news reported that the Philippines even topped viewership of a "legitimized" app that exclusively shows outright pornography.
Amid the apparent lack of conversion despite the pandemic, allow me to go on sharing relevant messages from Our Lord Jesus Christ as told to mystic Maria Valtorta whose published work titled Poem of the Man-God was strongly endorsed by St. Padre Pio.
On April 23, 1943, Jesus said:
“The first time My Father, to purify the earth, sent a cleansing by water, the second time He sent a cleansing by blood, and by what Blood! Neither the first cleansing nor the second was enough to turn human beings into children of God. Now the Father is weary, and to make the human race perish He lets the chastisements of hell go wild, because human beings have preferred hell to Heaven, and their ruler, Lucifer, torments them to make them blaspheme Us so as to make them completely his children.
“I would come a second time to die, to save them from an even more atrocious death. But My Father will not allow it. My Love would allow it, but My Justice would not. He knows it would be useless. Therefore, I will come only at the last hour. But woe unto those who in that hour will see Me after choosing Lucifer as their lord! There will be no need of weapons in My angels’ hands to win the battle against the antichrists. My glance will be enough.
“Oh! If people could still turn to Me who Am salvation! I desire only that and I weep because I see that nothing can make them raise their heads towards Heaven from where I stretch My arms towards them.
“Suffer, Maria, and tell the good to suffer to make up for the second martyrdom which the Father does not want Me to undergo. Every one of those who immolate themselves is granted to save a few souls. Only a few. It should come as no surprise that only a few souls be granted to every little redeemer if one thinks that I, the divine Redeemer, on Calvary, at the hour of My immolation, of all the thousands of persons present at My death, I managed to save the thief,5 and Longinus, and very few others.”
Apparently addressing Himself to the unrepentant, Jesus also told Valtorta as follows on June 3, 1943:
“Many ask Me for a sign. What sign? Sign of the hour or sign of My power?
“The sign of the hour, you already have it. I repeat: I did not come to change the law. You are the ones who changed it. And I do not change My Word. What I have said, I have said. Everything that had to take place — from the time I spoke as Man among men, until the time I come, as God Son of God, to judge mankind — everything is contained in My Gospel.
“You fools with your heads full of a thousand useless rumors and wicked thoughts, you are the ones who no longer understand what I said. Are you by any chance not salted with fire, that fire which will forever salt My enemies? That which bums you now and comes down upon you to destroy you and lead you more and more into blasphemy and heresy is but an advance of what the fire l am speaking about will be- a fire destined for the scandal-mongers who are not converted. And you are among them. All you worry about is the body and wicked riches, and you trample on consciences and altars, and you defile everything you touch, and within yourselves you kill Me a second lime.
“Those are the gifts which Lucifer knows how to give you, who have put yourselves under his sign. The Beast blows the fire from its mouth after having sunk you into the evil of corruption. Such are his gifts. He can give you nothing else, whereas I had given you, together with My own self, all the treasures of grace.
“Do you want a sign of My power? Why. I have been giving you this sign for twenty centuries! What was the use? I have opened above you the streams of My graces and from Heaven I have made them come down onto earth in thousands and tens of thousands of miracles.
"I have healed your sick; I have quelled your wars; I have prospered your businesses; I have replied to your doubts, even on matters of faith, because I know your weakness that does not believe unless it sees; I have come to repeat My teachings; I have sent My Mother so that with her gentleness she would induce you to penance and love. What was the use?
“You have treated Me like an idiot, abusing My power and My patience, convinced that after performing a miracle I would not remember it anymore. No, children of My sorrow. Everything is written down in the great book of My Intelligence and it is not ink that is used to write in it, but the burning coal of love. And everything is remembered.
“You have exploited the coming of My Mother to human ends. You have turned it into a laughing-stock and a business. Don’t you know that Mary is My Temple and My Temple is a house of prayer and not a thieves’ den?9 Her words, so affectionate, so imploring, so sorrowful, were meant for you who killed her Son — and you do not even know how to profit from such a sacrifice. To you her words sounded like a pointless old story. You have kept going on your path to damnation.
“My messengers, the souls living as you should all live and which have become My town criers to repeat once more the words of My Heart, you have called them mad and possessed and sometimes you have killed them, always you have harassed them. I too, by the adulterous and murderous generation of My time on earth, was called madman and possessed
“The sign! You have the sign and it is of no use to give you back My Paternity. A sign other than this will not be given to you. Seek for it in My words and in your consciences, if you still manage to find them alive beneath the mass of lustful acts, adulteries, fornications, thefts, murders, envious thoughts, blasphemies and pride with which you have stoned them.
“It is the Ascension today. Before ascending I blessed My Mother and My disciples.” 1 had no one else to bless because the others had rejected Me and cursed Me. Now too 1 bless My disciples because the others do not want Me and blaspheme against My blessing.....
“This is what you would like — that I should strike so you could strike in your turn. I am God and l see in people’s hearts and therefore, in this case, I do not listen to you. 1 do not want all of you to damn yourselves. The great offenders have already been judged, but I am trying to save the rest of you. And this hour, for you, is a sieve of salvation. They will fall under the power of the Prince of demons those who already have in them the devil’s darnel, whereas those who have in their hearts the grain of wheat germinating the eternal Bread, will germinate in Me in life everlasting....
“Pray and tell others to pray for all the salt not to become tasteless in all except One, the last Martyr who will be then* for the last Mass, because My Church militant shall exist until the very last day and the Sacrifice will be accomplished.”
