Matthew 5:8

"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." (Mt 5:8)

It is impossible to arrive to purity of heart and maintain purity of heart without suffering with Jesus. If someone says that you can arrive to any virtue without suffering with Jesus, it is a lie. A great number of people today prefer the easy lies, without sacrifice.

Saint Fautina wrote in her diary:
Then I saw the Lord Jesus nailed to the cross. When He had hung on it for a while, I saw a multitude of souls crucified like Him. Then I saw a second multitude of souls, and a third. The second multitude were not nailed to [their] crosses, but were holding them firmly in their hands. The third were neither nailed to [their] crosses nor holding them firmly in their hands, but were dragging [their] crosses behind them and were discontent” (Diary, 446).

We can ask ourselves, in which multitude do we find ourselves in at this moment in our lives, in our spiritual walk with Jesus?

Jesus then said to me, Do you see these souls? Those who are like Me in the pain and contempt they suffer will be like Me also in glory. And those who resemble Me less in pain and contempt will also bear less resemblance to Me in glory” (Diary, 446).

An Experience of Life:

I am a hairdresser and I offer my services at the homes of my clients.

One day I was called by a lady. She was married a year ago, and was expecting a baby, but she wanted a divorce because life with the mother-in-law was impossible. I listened to her, then I advised her to wait.

A few days later the mother-in-law called me, she too wanted to get her hair done. She immediately spoke ill of the daughter-in-law. "That's funny - I said - just two days ago I was at her house and she said good things about you ...". When I met again the daughter-in-law I said to her, "Your mother-in-law spoke to me about you, it seems to me that she truly wants well for you…"

A few days later, the family gathered together for a party. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw each other for the first time in many months. They let me know that it was a beautiful moment and they thanked me and asked me: "Who taught you the beautiful things that you tell us?". I revealed to them my secret: it is the Gospel that teaches us to be peacemakers.

P.s.

How many priests and bishops do not explain the value of the great gift of suffering and of sacrifice? We must pray very much for priests and bishops to have the courage to live the Gospel fully in order to be able to proclaim the Gospel with their example and then with their words.

In the document, “A Damned Priest Warns About Hell”, one reads the following:

The poverty of large families is a great blessing


To those who are in need, who have many children, and they have to work a lot, since they do not have time to devote to luxury, to excesses or pleasures, one should say: "Praise the Lord three times a day, on your knees, and thank Him for having given to you, with your children, work, and to have offered your children so that you raise them and of them you make the next citizens of heaven, because for each of your children you will gain more grace." Instead of this, they say, sometimes they also say, and even priests, that ... I do not want to talk!

E: In the name of Jesus Christ, say the truth, only the truth, Verdi Garandieu, for the glory of God, about the priesthood!

V: ... Instead of that, when a woman or a man come to say to them "it is not good for us; we had a third or fourth child or just a second, it depends. We have housing problems. We have this problem here or another ... " Then the priest, instead of saying to them: "Hold on, live in this old apartment and in these rooms with the grace of God (crying); pray every day and thank Him for what you have! "Instead of what (crying) ... I do not want to talk!

E: In the name of Jesus Christ continue, Verdi Garandieu, say the truth and only the truth for the glory of God!


The pill leads to abortion


V: ... Instead of that these priests really become seducers and give these poor, but in reality these people are not poor, they are not so much in misery, they are not so terribly miserable ...

When I say "poor" I mean that they are because they have fallen into sin, because the priest gives them bad advice to not behave precisely according to the commandments of God in this particular case; in this case, they have to take the pill or what there is in this field. He advises them this or that, or this or that other medicine, and this medicine obviously ... the majority of doctors prescribe without batting an eyelid.

Men do not notice that they are sinking into misfortune, because from the pill and from the condoms to abortion it is not far off, and abortion is already a murder (cries); it is a mortal sin. Perhaps these priests forget it or maybe some know it, but in this time of modernism and mass defection they no longer want to admit that it is still valid today what it has always been, for thousands and thousands of years.

It is clear that humanity has increased and that is no longer what it once was when God punished immediately ONAN with death (Gen 38:9-10), but He will still punish each one of them, who, alas, I must say, take contraceptives and He will recall them to order, because this is no longer the order of things, and abortion even less. It is not in the plan of God, in His plan of salvation. And I have to ...

E: Speak the truth, Verdi Garandieu, and only the truth, for the glory of God and in the name of Jesus Christ!

V: ... and I must say, I, Verdi, that I was a priest, that the priests, and not only priests but also the bishops, cardinals, it is evident, they should shout to their people from the height of the pulpit, yes, shout: "Endure your suffering with patience, because life on earth is not made to be lived in debauchery and luxury, to eat and drink, but to walk after the LORD and to practice the imitation of Christ."

Because there where there is still renunciation and sacrifice, this is what they should say, there is also grace, and where there are no longer neither renunciation or sacrifice, or prayer, grace also disappears. There where there is no longer grace, we watch, and if we can penetrate only through a crack, if we can only pass a horn, even so we have already penetrated into these lay people or clergy, and this then continues. If there is open a crack, it soon widens, then the whole door is opened and not only this. It is not only the whole door to be opened. Finally, the whole house is to collapse as is happening now in your churches. Yes ...

A DAMNED PRIEST WARNS ABOUT HELL

The documentation of the confessions of a human demon, a dammed priest, by way of an EXORCISM (April 5, 1978) on a Swiss woman.

THE ABBOT VERDI-GARANDIEU, A HUMAN DEMON, priest of the diocese of Tarbes, France in the seventeenth century, addresses this pathetic message, THROUGH A POSSESSED WOMAN, to his brothers in the Priesthood, to beseech them - by order of the Most Holy Trinity and the Virgin Mary - to go back onto the narrow road of the Gospel, and so prevent themselves in their turn, from suffering in eternal Hell the horrible fate which befell him because of his infidelities to grace.

During an exorcism the demons are forces to reveal what is commanded of them in the name of God or the Blessed Virgin Mary etc. These confessions OFTEN REVEAL SATAN’S MOST POWERFUL BUT SUBTLE AND HIDDEN TRAPS which lead countless numbers of souls toward and into hell. I believe the following document will help many people of good will to take the precious gift of life, as well as eternity, much more seriously in a world in which Satan has done all he can to put us to sleep spiritually and to convince us that hell does not exist.

Matthew 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God (Matt. 5:8).
(http://www.domusviridis.org.uk/wol/1999/wol9911.htm)

We know that the Beatitudes are not a negative presentation of Christianity. The image before us is that of a king who in his program inserts a special attention for the category of the weaker ones, as the object of predilection.

The beatitudes are therefore not moral virtues but gifts of a new prospective.

Who then are the pure of heart? They are the simple people, without hidden wrinkles, who know how to see God in life and in the phenomena of nature, as a sun which shines from within everything and behind everything in existence. They are the ones who do not fall into the malice of suspicion as their only criteria to judge their neighbor, but live the phrase of Jesus: “If your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light” (Mt 6:22).

Our job is to purify our outlook, and life will be immediately, now, blessed. The saints are our first models.

An Experience of Life:

I go to the school of cinematography. Even today the professor is shelling us with images of naked pseudo art. He says that he does this to prepare us for the work that we will have to encounter in the future. At the end of the lesson, I went to him: “I would like to say to you that I disapprove of the constant study of these images in order to acquire our professional licence”. His reply was cold: “Miss, you have something inside of you that is not resolved, but I am not the one to psychoanalyse you”.

I was not frightened; I listen to him and I remained in the reality that I had in my heart: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”. As we continued to talk for a while he began to abandon his professorial tone. “If you knew how many times I cried because I had to do something that was against my principles! – he confided to me in the end. - But life has taught me to put up with everything, and you too will do the same!”

Unexpectedly the following day, the professor invited me to express my thoughts to the class regarding the sexual scenes. I looked at my companions: I knew that the greater part of them had very confusing ideas and I felt that it was the moment to transmit, with love, my certainty regarding the respect for others and for life. The professor supported me and declared that he shared my reflections.

After a few days, my companions came to tell me that they were in agreement with me, but they never before had the courage to express themselves freely. I took this opportunity to speak also about their difficulties and sentiments. They asked my advise. I emptied myself interiorly in order to receive each one of them. I listened to them thoroughly and they discovered by themselves the answers that they needed while rediscovering the values that they did know that they had in their hearts. There was born among all of us a freedom and a confidence unimaginable only a few days before. Jesus entered the school of cinematography and He is making headway in the souls of my companions. Only He is the medicine that can cure from the inside the confusion and the sicknesses of our society. (Sonia A. – Argentina).
