FIFTH LESSON
FIRST MESSAGE OF THE FIFTH LESSON:
DATE: 7TH JULY, 2002
TIME: 8:00 PM
VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA
THEME: THE LEVEL OF MEDITATION
In my prayer during this hour, I saw a vision of a Saint who came with three little Cherubim. He said:
“I am happy to be sent to you, my friend. How fortunate are those who will embrace these great lessons of perfection that the Lord has granted to humanity. O, this is an era of commotion. The scientists have filled the air with noise by means of their electronics. How unfortunate that the people of this era do not enjoy the sweet peace of silence. O desert, how enjoyable you are! How loving to stay in you. In you! O desert, I enjoy perfect solitude. In you, O desert, my soul enjoys peace. How beautiful is the creation of God. O loving solitude, you have lifted my soul to the Throne of God, where the loving Presence of the Divine dwells. My friends, I am your brother Jerome. I have come to teach you the Fifth Level of the Golden Peace. It is the Level of Meditation.
Meditation is the marriage of the soul to the Divine Spirit. The soul leaves the world of distraction, of commotion, and of confusion to stay with her Divine Spouse. In the home of Her Divine Spouse, she enjoys His love and care. She, the soul understands her Divine Spouse, and the Spouse understands her. Their communication is not much by words but by eyes of love. The soul is now the consoler of her Divine Spouse. The companionship is nothing but adoration of God’s love, of His mercy and compassion. She the soul thinks of nothing other than to love and to show love.
My friend, this is the level of faith and of trust. It is the level of the seekers of the wealth of the Kingdom not seekers of the wealth of the world. It is at this level that Jesus finds his consolers. This is the level of the cross-bearers.
Dear friend, there is less power of reasoning at this level. The soul is controlled by the Spirit of Wisdom, and of Love. The greatest prayer is made when the soul gazes at her Divine Spouse. The Divine Spouse will respond with love and mercy. This is the action of the voice of silence.
Dear friends ascend to the first level, the second, the third, the fourth and then the fifth levels. This fifth level starts where the fourth level ends. Avoid all kinds of distraction. Love all men. See them as friends; seek the love of God. Try and win His love. Marry Him and stay with Him. May He live in you and you in Him! Whatever He owns is yours. There is no need for you to worry about anything, since He who married you owns everything. O do not command your God, your spouse. Be faithful to Him like a wife to her husband. Enter the desert with him, where you will show Him love and serve Him. This is the mystery of meditation that I revealed to you with the knowledge of the things of the world. He who has the spirit will understand and grow. O, my Jesus, Who sent me, bless your people whom You love. Dear friend, I leave you.”
Immediately, the vision passed. Jesus appeared and said:
“I am longing for the day when My lovers will marry Me and stay with Me. I promise to show them love. So I bless you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.”
Immediately, the vision passed.
SECOND MESSAGE OF THE FIFTH LESSON
DATE: 8TH JULY, 2002
TIME: 8:00 PM
VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA
THEME: THE LEVEL OF RELATIONSHIP WITH GO
In my prayer during this hour, I saw a vision of a Saint who came with three little Cherubim. He appeared before my altar and calmly said:
“My dear friend, peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. I am your brother Pio. I come to offer you the final Level of the Golden Peace of Silence. Jesus wishes that you would grow up to this level. The level is what He calls the Personal Relationship. In prayer, the souls of the great men of God leave the canopy of distraction through meditation, and enter the Zone of Grace. This is where the soul stays at rest with God in the highest meditation. The power of the senses is minimal there. The soul just stays with God and enjoys the loving Presence of the Divine Majesty. There, everything is clear. Mysteries are unfolded.
My dear friend, this is the level of Personal Relationship. Just as Saint Jerome used the marriage of the soul and the Divine Spirit to explain the level of Meditation, so also shall we use it to explain this level of personal relationship. The relationship of the soul with the Divine is the Golden Peace, which the soul longs for. Like a virgin who longs to meet her spouse, she suffers the pains of restlessness but if in the end she meets him, her troubled heart will find peace and rest. In the same way, the soul of man that is longing to enjoy this relationship with God will not have the perfect peace or rest until she rests in the Lord, her loving Spouse.
Dear friend, this is what happens at this level of Personal Relationship; in prayer, the soul has nothing to do than to relate with the Lord. She relates to adore the Divine Majesty, to console the wounded Heart of Love, and to atone for the sins of the world.
At this level, the soul understands the feelings of God as the wife understands the feelings of her husband. In the moment of sorrow due to the sins of the world, the soul remains a consoler. In the moment of joy due to the conversion of a sinner, the soul remains in adoration. This soul desires only to love and to make God happy.
Dear friend, you are to attain this level through your total detachment from the things of the world. Fight and see that nothing disturbs your soul. Be free! Never be a burden to anyone or to your people. May Jesus be everything! Pass through the first level, to the second, third, fourth, fifth and then the sixth level. Fill the emptiness of your true being by means of silence. Learn to pray in perfect meditation. Ascend higher in a vertical meditation; you will eventually escape the canopy of distraction to rest in God in Personal Relationship.
Dear friend, know that you are expected to reach this level here on earth, not after death; so struggle to ascend higher. This is the highest level of prayer and the greatest of all the gifts. It is a gift because a privileged soul finds it easy to reach this level. May Jesus, Who sent me, bless you, so I leave you!
Immediately, the vision passed, and then appeared the Holy Face of Jesus Christ, Who calmly said:
“All who offer me their souls will find rest. I will give them the true peace; the peace the world cannot give. I will live in them and they will live in Me. In their soul, I will build My Tabernacle. The soul will never suffer any dryness because the living water is gushing from the centre of her Tabernacle. So I bless you, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
Immediately, the vision passed.
