On the 7th of April he had written about the solar book of the Archangel. The day after, 8th, Wednesday, leaning out of the balcony, he sees, down in the street, a hand, a brown-haired hand, coming out from a car window. Head and shoulders were invisible. On the steering wheel a rolled book, whitened by the sun. Some minutes after in the car a deep darkness. And emptiness. Text and readers faded away.
The angels forced him to renounce the sugar on the bottom of the cup of coffee. He thought about the driest throat of his Loved One, the cruelty of His passion, in the furious sun.
Jesus to Franco: “These sensible visions, interior and exterior, I give to you sincerely because, in some way, they humiliate and cut down to its size your intellectual I. I will soon give you sensational gifts, not for themselves, but for your sensibility. I will give them to you because you have always wanted them for My Glory. Why now? You have wanted them in an impure way. Only now I can see you deep-rooted in the absolute love for Me, only now you think and feel that even the skies (the Gifts) are negligible to Me.
The Gifts will increase and be qualified as far as My Passion in you will.
Without Love, able to suffer with the Loved One and for the Loved One, My Gifts become an obstacle to the Essential. First I take root in the Essential, then I give the needless. But God’s needless, since it is God’s, is immeasurably precious and fertile. Moreover all around you, history is ready by now for My events, always exact at the right time, existentially appropriate”.
Thursday 9th April. Satan, disguised as Mother Therese, announces to him: your mission has come to the end.
Gianni Bertini: …my mother had Jewish origins…I am not a believer, I think religions are a form of superstition. But I have always asked myself if there are some real reasons for the Jewish to go back to the old land of their fathers. My mother told me: «Gianni, the Jewish have suffered violence, for thousands of years. They have always escaped knowing from where they were escaping, but never imagining where they would get. One day, desperate, they got to a land called Palestine, already inhabited by others. And they settled there without asking permission to those who already lived there».
To a spiritual son:
“I hold the archbishop of Milan Tettamanzi in high esteem. Remember that pope John obeyed the reactionary Pio XII. But once he became pope he could finally obey himself. A lot of bishops are in such a condition. The most courageous are French and German bishops. The most silent, but often privately dissident, are Italian bishops. Can you row against the Niagara? On the left and on the right there are new stirrings. Fini makes leftist speeches, speeches that the left do not dare to do. Obama makes speeches that instead should be made by Benedetto XVI. The confrontation within our culture and others’ cultures is between modernists and reactionaries. The Niagara is not the past, not the Middle Age, it is Modernity with all its problems and challenges, but mainly with all its richness. At the time of Hitler the archbishop of Monaco courted Hitler, but schemed against him, by informing the Holy Seat, from time to time.
Good luck, with the courage of the Resurrected.
Franco
NB but, as a prophet, I have to underline in the Spirit that the best efforts will be frustrated, but as a Christian, founded on the Resurrection, I have to say that, despite the certain end, no effort has to be avoided. Talent has to be used until the end. Example: I am a serious heart-attacked patient, I know about my end, yet for Grace I use my energies”.
