"'It is time that the Holy Spirit reign.' Very moved,
the Lord told me this. He went on, 'and not a remote reign as something very
sublime, even though it be so and there is nothing greater than He since He is
God united and consubstantial with the Father and the Word. But it is necessary
that He reigns, here, right close, in each soul and in each heart, in all the
structures of My Church. The day on which there will flow in each pastor, in
each priest, like an inner blood, the Holy Spirit, then will be renewed the
theological virtues, now languishing, even in the ministers of My Church, due
to the absence of the Holy Spirit. Then the world will change, for all the evils deplored today have their cause
in the remoteness of the Holy Spirit, the sole remedy. Let the ministers of My
Church react, through the medium of the Holy Spirit, and the whole world of
souls will be divinized. He is the axis around which revolve the virtues. There
is no virtue without the Holy Spirit. The decisive impulse for raising up My
Church from the state of prostration in which she lies, consists in reviving
the cult of the Holy Spirit. Let His place be given Him, that is, the first in
intellects and wills! No one will be lacking anything with this heavenly
wealth. The Father and I, the Word, We desire an ardent and vitalizing renewal
of His reign in the Church.'"
Conchita: "Lord, yet the Holy Spirit reigns in the Church, why do You complain?"
"Woe to Her were it not so! Certainly the Holy Spirit is the soul of this so dearly loved Church! But that about which I am complaining is that there is such little consideration for this gift of heaven, and to Him there is not accorded the importance due. His devotion in hearts is routine and languishing, indifferent, secondary. This brings about countless evils not only in the Church but in all souls. That is why the Works of the Cross have just come to renew devotion to Him and to extend it throughout the earth. May the Holy Spirit reign in souls, and the Word will be known and honored, the Cross taking on a new force in the souls spiritualized by divine Love.
"To the extent the Holy Spirit will reign, sensuality, which today invades the earth, will disappear. The Cross will never take root unless beforehand the soil is made ready by the Holy Spirit. That is why He appeared to you first even before the vision of the Cross. It is because of this He is at the summit of the Cross of the Apostolate."
"One of the main fruits of the mystical incarnation is the reign of the Holy Spirit which must bring about the disappearance of materialism" (Diary, Feb. 19, 1911).
