RIGOR OF DIVINE JUSTICE
Many are not convinced of the eventuality of a great future chastisement. Many doubt it: many others deny it categorically and affirm that a great chastisement must be considered contrary to the divine Mercy.
Neither did My Apostles want to accept the idea of My Passion and Death; they did not want to accept My words. Presumption prevented my Apostles from seeing clearly, that is, it deprived them of the gift of wisdom.
Today, for many, the same thing is repeated again.
I, the Word of God made flesh, God as the Father and the Holy Spirit, have been the Victim par excellence of the rigor of divine Justice.
Love for lost humanity determined on the part of the Most Holy Trinity the Mystery of the Incarnation, My Passion and My Death. Through the mouth of Wisdom it has been said: "Propter peccata veniunt adversa".
Sin is a personal and social debt that man as an individual and the community contract with God. God can always ask for a partial satisfaction and I say partial because neither man as an individual nor society can totally extinguish the debt. For this God has provided with the Mystery of my Incarnation, Passion and Death.
The same and indivisible thing
To those who so confidently affirm that there is no need to speak of punishments, but only and always of divine Mercy, I respond forcefully by affirming that Mercy and Justice in God are the same and indivisible thing.
I answer that with impunity "Deus non irridetur".
I answer that when iniquity exceeds the level of flotation, as you say, then divine Justice will pursue its inscrutable ends.
I have said and I repeat that the cities of this unbelieving and impious generation are worse than Sodom and Gomorrah; I have said that corruption has entered everywhere, that evil spreads over the earth with the violence of an overflowing torrent.
Not even my Church has remained immune.
Many of my priests have been contaminated. The rejection of God has never been so universalized.
The cup overflows
Poor priests of mine, how myopic they are that they ignore and do not see nor understand how God, even in His wrath, is moved as always by a design of Mercy!
But why do so many of My priests not think of My terrible agony in Gethsemane? Why do they not think that in My sweat of blood, in the abandonment of My Father, all the rigor of Divine Justice weighed on Me, His Only Begotten Son? It is because He had laid upon Me all the sins of men....
This Justice, too, was always the fruit of a design of Infinite Mercy.
Unbelief and foolishness will not be the ones that will stop the Arm of God from punishing proud and prideful-denig-ing----utility-utility-utility-utility-utility-utility-utility-utility-utility-utility-utility. My Mother has been able to do it. The sufferings of the good and the innocent, the heroic offering of the victim souls, have been able to mitigate and postpone the already decreed punishment.
But now the cup overflows. The measure is filled to beyond belief, the collapse is underway, although blindness prevents men from seeing the prelude to the immense catastrophe.
In the meantime, divine Mercy, which many of my priests do not know how to reconcile with Justice, has set in motion the numerous ferments for a purified and regenerated Church on new structures and also for a humanity remade and freed from all the follies of human pride. Mercy and Justice, in step with each other, will follow their course.
Son, say it: it is urgent to predispose the spirits to prayer, penance and conversion.
Have confidence! God, even in his justice, is always Love, and all his action is moved by Love.
I bless you: love me much. Compensate me with your love for my ingratitude and offenses.
Jesus to Mons Ottavio Michelini
