Where humanity is now

Published on by M

Three phases characterize the spiritual life in relation to God: purification, illumination, and deification. These phases apply both individually and collectively. Humanity is in the first phase – namely, the purification of individuals and the world from all impurities and iniquities.

The stage is being set for the second phase, that of illumination. Some have already received the illumination of their own conscience, while others – the vast majority – still have to experience it. At the same time, the collective dimension of the second phase has not yet happened; that is, the global illumination of all consciences. Those already granted the individual illumination will undergo the process once more during the global illumination.

After purification and illumination have been completed, humanity will enter into the third phase of the spiritual life and relationship with the Father: deification, individually and collectively. This third phase will be the era of the common deification of humanity, popularly known as the era of peace – namely, the reign of the Father and His divine will; the kingdom come. It will be the fulfillment in time of 1 P 2:4. During this era, everyone will worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth, as this is what He has desired and decreed since the beginning. Goodness and joy will reign overall on earth for the first time since the fall of Adam.

After that, will come the last rebellion of Satan. The Antichrist will come onto the scene and there will be the final persecution. Subsequently, Christ will be seen returning on the clouds in His second coming and the last judgment will commence.

The icon of God the Merciful Father in Ukraine

Published on by M

The first icon of the Father in the Catholic Church. This icon was based on the revelations that God the Father gave to Mother Eugenia Ravasio in 1932. It was written by Lia Gaidiolo of Padova, Italy, and installed in the Pro-Cathedral of God the Merciful Father in Zaporozhye, Ukraine.

The Father’s words to Mother Eugenia: “I desire that every family prominently display the picture I will show to My “little daughter.” I wish every family to be able to place itself under My special protection in this way, so that they can honor Me more easily. There, every day, the family will share with Me its needs, its works, its sorrows, its sufferings, its desires, and also its joys, because a Father must know everything that concerns His children. I do know it of course, because I am there, but I love simplicity. I know how to adapt Myself to your condition. I make Myself little with little ones. I make Myself an adult with adults, and the same with the elderly, so that all may comprehend what I wish to tell them for their sanctification and My glory.”

The Father and the Son

Published on by M

How much the Son, Jesus Christ, loves the Heavenly Father! Christ does not just love us with the whole of Himself to the extent of having died on the Cross for us. He loves the Father – His Father and our Father – with the entirety of His being. It is a love inconceivable and utterly crazy to some, but awe-inspiring to see. Infinite Love loves Infinite Love infinitely.

Father God or “Mother?”

There is no “Mother God.” Only Father God exists; that is, God the Almighty Father. God the Unbegotten. This bears repeating. God willed Himself to be a Father, not mother – for that, He gave us Our Lady, the Theotokos.

There is no “mother earth,” either. The earth is created, not creator. It cannot ‘beget’ anything unless willed to do so by God.

Here are some posts that illustrate clearly the nature and Persons of the Holy Trinity, especially that of the Heavenly Father:

  1. God the First Person is Father not mother – 1
  2. God the First Person is Father not mother – 2
  3. God the First Person is Father not mother – 3
  4. God the First Person is Father not mother – 4
  5. We do not know God the First Person unless we confess Him as Father
  6. The reference point for God’s existence is His Fatherhood not His essence – 1
  7. The reference point for God’s existence is His Fatherhood not His essence – 2
  8. The reference point for God’s existence is His Fatherhood not His essence – 3

The Father’s simplicity

He just wants to be loved with all our hearts. No more, no less. That is what the Father has ever wanted.

On the holiness of the Name of the Father

According to Cyril of Alexandria, the name of “Father” as applied to the First Person of the Holy Trinity – that is, God the Almighty Father – is superior to the very name of God Himself as “God,” because the First Person “is called Father by the One who is best and most worthy, i.e. by the Son” (Relic 5. P.G. 75, cols. 65-68) who is similarly God in His essence. This is why in the Lord’s Prayer, after saying “Our Father, Who art in Heaven,” we proceed to say “Hallowed be Thy Name.” It is not simply the Name of God as God that is holy, but the actual name of God the First Person as Father.

About the plague

Published on by M

From God the Father to Barbara Centilli:

“The spiritual contamination will affect the mind and body as well. Many will become ill with a disorder that can only be cured by conversion. For some, the conversion will come too late. This plague will be unleashed soon so that the weeding process can begin. It is not by bombs or war that man’s demise will come, but rather through his own spiritual corruption. Mary’s children will have immunity to this disease. I tell you this so that you may prepare: prayer, fasting and penance . . . Pray for your brother and sisters. Pray that they will listen when the chastisement of My mercy comes. And it comes soon. Remember, conversion to Me . . . The wave is coming; the plague is coming – one of power and one of pain.

“My children will cry out, but there will be no one to hear their cries, for I am turning My back on My children so that they may experience the absence of My goodness and love. They need to see so that they can make the choice. Then the plague will overcome those that are set in their rejection and hate for Me. And the light from My little ones shall blind them in their despair and they will beg to see again. But ONLY after they convert” (Seeing With the Eyes of the Soul, 2006).

Who shall we worship?

Published on by M

Here is the answer to this question provided by Saint Augustine:

Delight in Him from whom you have received everything that delights you. In that I do not include sin, for sin is the one thing that you do not receive from Him. With that one exception, everything you have comes from Him.

To the Pachamama-believers / wannabes / revisionists:

Everything you have comes from God. Not from ‘Mother Earth.’ You are deeply insulting the Father and Creator of all – the Heavenly Father – by claiming that Pachamama gives you providence.
