Sunday, December 27th. Holy Family. 3 hours. Mysterious and gloomy phoneme.
Demons and the damned are spiritual realities. And this is the absurd: the spirit is capable of unimaginable brutalization. The sound is capable of distorting in noise, the wing in the blade, the light in shit. The Carthusian’s soul goes back from the nauseated hell up to the venous stomach. Better: stunned by so much vulgarity and spiritual stupidity. It is not a question of verbal but real vulgarity, of mental but substantial stupidity. Yes. This is the point: spiritual vulgarity and stupidity.
In the face of Hell, God remains free to respect the right of Hell to remain Hell. In His mercy he is able to contravene the Infernal Right. Turning the desert into eden, death in life belongs to the biblical God. Yes. God’s mercy is paradoxical. Wonderfully transgressive, even violent. The same that dazzles and unsuccessfully Paul of Tarsus. The same that kidnaps Elias.
In the word of Jesus in Hell is the unsaid and dicible. The Spirit, after Me, will tell you the whole truth.
Always Sunday, December 27th. The Carthusian demons:
teaches men
that Hell exists
that Love exists
because Hell is Love.
They simulate and ridicule the passionate love of the Carthusian for God:
My God
My God
I love you
MiDi, MiDi, MiDi ……
The prophet calls:
Priest
Samuel
Individual
“Individual” that is in-divided. Unified by faith and love.
Monday, December 28th. Saints Innocenti. 2.15 hours. In the darkness, near the pillow, luminescent statues of St. Michael and of the Child Jesus. 3.10 hours. Angry meowing on the snout. Tympanum-proof bell.
With no demons, no dialogue
S. Pio them “strigliava”
Their aggression and their blandishments must be treated
in the same way,
despised and mocked
They are stupid
In their extremely intelligent stupidity
Their manifestations are Baracconesca
The only lethal weapon against them
I’m
Faith in Christ and love above all for enemies
The Carthusian, before going to bed, prayed to face them serene and confident. He could not afford the luxury of lying down fibrillated and irritated by the negative events of life. To resist their phantasmagorias, he concentrated on a mental image. He appeared lying on the lawn of Eden under the serene and warm gaze of God.
The quiet and pervasive power of the Risen One supported it. The demons became inoffensive entities. But trouble regardless of the Christlike Axis. It would have been reduced to psychiatric mush.
The effect of these harassments in Christ was highly spiritual. The Carthusian lived his days in the Center, playing among the men in the suburbs, with the sense of surface and surfaces. Deep radicalism shone only in gestures and in some witticisms.
