Excerpts
from the Gospel Jn 9: 1-41
As Jesus
passed by he saw a man blind from birth.
His disciples asked him,
"Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents,
that he was born blind?"
Jesus answered,
"Neither he nor his parents sinned;
it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him.
We have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day.
Night is coming when no one can work.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
When he had said this, he spat on the ground
and made clay with the saliva,
and smeared the clay on his eyes,
and said to him,
"Go wash in the Pool of Siloam" —which means Sent—.
So he went and washed, and came back able to see...

... And do you believe in the Son of Man?"
He answered and said,
"Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"
Jesus said to him,
"You have seen him,
the one speaking with you is he."
He said,
"I do believe, Lord," and he worshiped him.
Then Jesus said,
"I came into this world for judgment,
so that those who do not see might see,
and those who do see might become blind."

Now, you
must know that Its kingdom will be formed and founded on the truths I have
manifested. The more truths I manifest, the more sumptuous, beautiful, majestic
and superabundant in goods and joys this kingdom will be. My truths will form
the regime, the laws, the food, the fierce army, the defense and the very life
of those who will live in It. Each of my truths will have its own distinct
office: one will be the Master; one the most loving Father; one the most tender
Mother who carries her daughter on her lap to protect her from every danger,
rocking her in Her arms, feeding her with Her love, clothing her in light. In
sum, every truth will be the bearer of a special good.
See how this kingdom of my Will will be; I have been talking so much about It. I feel sorry when you are not attentive enough to write everything, because you will cause an additional good to be missing, since creatures will enjoy according to their knowledge. Knowledge will reveal the life, the light and the good for them to possess. It is almost impossible to possess a good without knowing it. It would be as if they had no eyes to see, no intelligence to understand, no hands to work, no feet to walk, and no heart to love. On the other hand, the first thing knowledge does is to give them eyes, to prevent them from being like the poor blind. It lets them look, understand and desire the good and the life it wants to give them.

“My
daughter, you should know that although I burn from the desire to see my Divine
Will reign, I cannot yet give this gift; first the truths that I have
manifested, (with) creatures knowing them,
they will have the great good to form the sight in order to be capable of
understanding him and hence dispose themselves in order to receive a gift so
great. One can say that now (they) lack their eye in order to see and the
capacity in order to understand him. And therefore first I have manifested
so many truths on my Divine Will, and as creatures will know these truths of mine,
thus will they form the orbit where to put the pupil inside and animate it with
sufficient light in order to be able to look at and understand the gift, that
more than sun will be given and entrusted to them. If I might want to give it
today, I would do as if I might want to give a sun to a blind one; poor little
one, with the whole sun given she would be always blind, nor would her fate
change nor would she receive any good, rather she would have a sorrow to hold a
sun for gift and to not even see it nor receive the beneficial effects of it.
Instead one who might not be blind, how many goods would she not receive [with]
holding a sun for gift at her disposition! It would be her perennial feast and
would put her in the condition of giving light to the others, and she would be
surrounded and loved by everyone in order to obtain the good of the light that
she possesses. Whence to give the great gift of my Divine Will, that more than
sun will change the fate of the human generations, today it would be to give
him to the blind, and to give him to the blind would be to give them useless
gifts, and I don’t know how to give useless things. Therefore I wait with
divine patience and delirious that my truths make (their) way, prepare souls,
enter in them and form the eye animated with sufficient light, that [creatures]
can not only look at the gift of my Fiat, but [have] the capacity in order to
enclose him in themselves, so that he forms there his kingdom and extends his
dominion. Therefore patience and time make things done as is appropriate and as
our Sovereignty merits in the work.
