The New Evangelization

Anticipating the Time of the Spirit

The Final Evangelization

A second and final evangelization is being guided by Heaven
to meet the new times. 

What’s really behind the New Evangelization?

In 1950, Jesus gave the following dictation to Catholic mystic Maria Valtorta:

Since for twenty centuries there has been everything necessary for man to possess the Eternal Kingdom and reach the end for which he was created, there will not be a second redemption by the God‑Man. The man who loses Grace through weakness has the means to recover it and be redeemed. As he falls on his own, so on his own he can be redeemed by using the perpetual gifts which Christ instituted for all men who wish to draw from them.

And the Word of the Father will not come for a second Evangelization. He will not come personally. And yet He will evangelize. read more…

A New Evangelization

Jesus explains the coming of “a new evangelization” to Catholic mystic Maria Valtorta:

“I shall evangelize, not as I [once] evangelized, but with a new power, for then the good will be not humanly good, as the disciples at my first coming were, but they will be spiritually good, and the wicked will be spiritually wicked, Satanically wicked, perfectly wicked. The form will thus be consonant with the circumstances, for if I were to use the form I used twenty centuries ago, it would be obsolete – for the perfect, in terms of goodness, and it would mean giving the Satanic ones a chance to cause an offense which it is not permitted to cause to the glorified Word. read more…

Getting Spiritually Fit

It has been shown that a 400-calorie serving of animal-based or processed foods typically leaves your stomach feeling less than half full versus a 400-calorie serving of fruits and vegetables, which leave you feeling completely full.

Processed foods, meat products and junk food in general not only leave you craving for more, but also don’t provide much “bang for the buck” when it comes to nutrition. Further, the body begins to break down from various diseases when subjected to such a diet for a prolonged period of time. read more…

Living Hypostatically with our Creator

We as creatures live a type of hypostatic union with our Creator.

We have our soul and God’s Spirit that animates our soul. We have our will and God’s will that not only conceived but also sustains our existence. We have our personality—our personhood—and God’s own Divine Life forming within us as a result of baptism and our continued cooperation with His grace. read more…

Living in the Freedom of God

God is—and always has been—about liberation. Liberation for our soul, for our entire being.

There can be no complete and enduring liberation without living in the fullness of His Will, and without His Will living fully in the midst of creatures. His Volition and Spirit alone can set paralyzed man free.

How Do I Live with a God?

Yet it is He who sustains my life every instant of every day.

God is inexhaustible life, continuous creation, eternal renewal.

 

If we only knew how close God is to us. Even the word “close” is misleading because God is closer than close. His very Spirit sustains us. Our souls are particles of his Being that never die. And so He causes us to exist every moment as the Life-Giving Spirit within. read more…

Liberating Love

Have you ever been in love? So much so that you easily gave your heart and soul to another person? To someone you trusted with all your being. read more…

The Man Who Would Be King

Or president, prime minister or CEO

 

Jesus says:

Mankind … feels the need to be led by someone who would take upon himself all the glory and the even greater burden of authority and responsibility for the happiness or unhappiness of his subjects: someone who would be responsible to the subjects, to neighboring countries, and what is more dreadful, to God.

Because it is true that crowns and social pre-eminence, whichever they may be, are granted by men, but they are allowed by God, without Whose condescension no human power can be imposed. Which explains the sudden unimaginable changes of dynasties, which were considered everlasting and of powers which seemed untouchable, and which, when they overstepped the limit in punishing or trying people, were overthrown by the same people, with God’s permission, and became nothing but dust or, at times, sewer filth. read more…

Through God’s Eyes

What man lives today as religion—or irreligion—will one day give way to the original and supreme reality: life solely within God’s dominion, stripped of all human agendas, mechanisms and props. read more…

Embracing One’s Duty

Do I have to? Yeah.

How do I own it?

 
How does one keep pressing forward when all seems to conspire against you and weigh you down?

Jesus sheds light on this question in his response to his mother, who implored him to stay away from Nazareth after having been tossed out by his own people.

“Mother, if the Son of man should go only where He is loved, He should turn His step from this world and go back to Heaven. I have enemies everywhere. Because the Truth is hated, and I am the Truth. But I did not come to find easy love. I came to do the will of the Father and to redeem man. You are love, Mother, My love, that compensates Me for everything. You, and this little herd, which grows in numbers every day with some little sheep that I snatch from the wolves of passions and I lead to the fold of God. All the rest is duty. I have come to fulfill this duty and I must accomplish it even to the extent of crashing against the stony hearts unyielding to good. Nay, only after I have fallen, wetting their hearts with blood, I will soften them, stamping on them My Sign that will cancel the Enemy’s sign. Mother, I descended from Heaven for that. I can only wish to accomplish that.”

Wholeness, Freedom and Gratitude

God does not heal us or make us whole so we can return with more vigor to our old ways of selfishness and sin. Though He leaves us free to decide, He heals us to live a fuller life in Him.

Jesus often told those he healed to go and sin no more. But He could say to all of us today, ” Go and do your own will no more, but live fully in mine.”

To go and do our own will, to live a life focused on what we can get for ourselves—whether honor, riches, praise or human indulgences of every sort—would be an act of ingratitude and a total misappropriation of the love and generosity of God.

Let us be deliberate in our own response when God restores us to wholeness. Let us give our thanks by always living his will. By putting the old man away and living as a new creation in Christ.

Entering the Kingdom of God’s Will

Leave the “adult” behind.

Childlikeness is the Price of Admission

If the price of entry into the Kingdom of God–His Divine Will–is to become as a little child, then we must understand what that means and pursue it all costs. read more…
