Excerpt from Notebooks Valtorta 1943




(...) You are now at the height of the age of the world and you have also reached the height of malice and pride.

But do not think that you have yet to live as long as you have lived. You are at the peak, and that should mean: you have as much more to live. But it will not be. The descending parable of the world toward the end will not be as long as the ascending one. It will be a rush to the end. It is precisely malice and pride that make you rush. Two weights that drag you into the abyss of the end, to the tremendous judgment. Pride and malice, besides dragging you in the descending parable, dull your spirit in such a way that you become more and more incapable of stopping, with sincere repentance, the descent.

But if you have proceeded in this way: on the contrary in the Good, headlong into the Evil; I, the Eternal, have remained firm in my exact measure of Good and Evil. From the day when light was made, and with it the world began, it is established, by the Mind that does not err, what is Good and what is Evil. And human force, the small human force, cannot remove and crack that eternal code written by the finger of God on untouchable pages and which are not of this earth.

The only change, from the instant in which My Will created the world and man, is in this: that before you had to govern and guide yourselves by the tablets of the Law and by the word of the Prophets; then you had Me, Word and Redeemer, to explain the Law to you, to give you My teaching, My Blood, to bring you with My coming the Spirit that leaves no shadows, to sustain you afterwards, through the centuries, with the Sacraments and the sacramentals.

But what have you done with my coming? A new weight of faults for which you will have to answer.

Shall we look together at the ancient pages where the explanations of the present moment are to be found? You have heard them as a sting; but I will show them to you better.


What is promised to him who observes the Law? Prosperity, abundance, peace, power, healthy and abundant offspring, triumph over enemies, because the Lord would be on the edge of the swords of his servants against those who would raise their hand over the children of the Most High. What is the threat to the one who transgresses it? Famine, famine, wars, defeats, pestilences, abandonment by God, oppressions of the enemies by which those who were children of the Most High will become like herds persecuted and frightened, destined for slaughter.

You lament the hour in which you live, but do you find it unjust and its rigor too harsh? No. It is just and less harsh than you deserve.

I have saved and rescued you in a thousand ways, I have forgiven and remitted you from seven thousand and seven thousand crimes. I have come on purpose to give you Life and Light. I, Light of the world, have come among your darkness to bring you the Word and the Light. I have not come again to speak through the gales and the fire through the mouth of the Prophets. No. I have come, I personally. I have broken with you my bread, I have divided with you my bed, I have sweated with you in fatigue, I have consummated Myself in evangelizing you, I have died for you, I have dispelled with my Word every doubt about the Law, I have dispelled with my Resurrection every doubt about my Nature, I have left you Myself to be your spiritual Food, able to give you Life, and you have given Me death.

I have given you the Word and the Love and the Blood of God, and you have closed your ears to the Word, your soul to Love, and you have blasphemed my Blood.


I have replaced the old Tabernacle, where were two stone tabernacles written by the finger of a Prophet and a little of the manna, the new Tabernacle in which is the true Bread come down from Heaven and my Heart where is written the Pact of love that you, not I, violate.


You can no longer say: "We do not know what God is like". I took Flesh so that you would have a Flesh to love, for it was not enough for your heaviness to love a spirit.

And then, what have you done, what have you done more and more? You have turned your back on God, on his altar, on his Person. You have not wanted God, the One and Triune God, the true God.

You have wanted gods. And your present gods are more ignominious than the old gods or the fetishes of the idolaters. Yes, than the fetishes of the idolaters. In them is still nestled the respect for the image of God, as their mentality and ignorance know how to conceive it. And verily, verily I say unto you, that the natural idolaters will be judged much less severely than you, idolaters of malice, sold to the worst idolatry: self-idolatry.


Yes, you have created for yourselves gods of flesh, and corrupted flesh, and before them you have known how to sing hosanna and bow your heads and your backs, which you have not known how to bow before God. You have despised, disowned, mocked, mocked, broken my Law; but you have accepted and obeyed, like slaves and like animals tamed by the tamer, the deceitful law given you by poor men who have gone astray even more than you, and whose destiny is such as to make all heaven tremble with horror.

Idolaters, idolaters, pagans, sold to the flesh, to money, to power, to Satan who is master of these three evil kingdoms of flesh, money and power!

But why, why, my people, have you left the Kingdom I had given you, why have you fled from your King of Perfection and Love and preferred the chains and the barbarism of the Kingdom of Satan and the Prince of Evil and Death? Is this how you reward the Most High who is your Father and Savior? And are you surprised if fire bursts forth from the earth and rains fire from heaven to incinerate the perverse and treacherous race that has disowned God and welcomed Satan and his ministers?

No, Satan has no need to toil, to toil to swallow you up! I must tire Myself to try to attract you still, because if you have denied your origin, I remember that I am your Father and Savior. I do not deny my unfortunate children and I still try to save them until the last hour, when you will be gathered for the inexorable selection.

O Mary, this punishment is not undeserved. It is just. It is serious because your faults are very serious. But it is not, it is not given out of the wickedness of a God who is all goodness. Your God would give Himself to spare you, if He knew that this would be to your advantage. But He must, He must leave you to punish yourselves for your follies, for your trades with the Beast.

A thousand and ten thousand will be lost in every corner of the earth. But, in the agony that drowns you, one will feel the Voice of God resounding and will raise his face from the darkness to the Light. That one who returns will justify the scourge, because - know this and think what obligation you have to guard it - the price and value of a soul is such that the treasures of the earth are not enough to buy it. The Blood of a God is necessary. Mine".
