The Following is a interior locution given to Maria Valtorta...
Jesus Christ speaking...
"Be patient, My dear soul, with regard to the double work. This is a period of endurance. You know how tired I was in My last days?! You see it. When walking I lean on John, on Peter, on Simon, also on Judas... Yes. And although miracles emanated from Me, even by simple contact with My clothes, I was not able to change that heart!
Let Me lean on you, little John, to repeat the words which I spoke in the last days to those stubborn dull-minded people who heard the announcement of My torture without being affected by it. And let the Master preach for hours in the sad plain of the Clear Water. And I shall bless you twice: for your fatigue and for your pity. I count your efforts, I gather your tears. For your efforts on behalf of your brothers you will be rewarded as those who wear themselves out to make God known to men. The tears shed for My suffering during the last week will be rewarded with Jesus' kiss. Write and may you be blessed.
Jesus is standing on a kind of platform made with boards in one of the large rooms, the last one, and is speaking in a very loud voice, near the door, so that He may be heard by those in the room and also by those in the shed or on the threshing floor, which is flooded by the rain. The people standing there in their large dark coarse mantles, which are proof against water, look like so many lay brothers. The weakest people are in the room, the women under the shed, the strongest, mainly men, are in the yard, in the rain.
Peter, barefooted and wearing only his short tunic and with a piece of cloth on his head, comes and goes, and is always in a good humor even if he has to paddle in water and take unexpected showers. John, Andrew and James are with him. They are cautiously transferring from the other room sick people and are guiding or supporting blind or lame people.
Jesus is patiently waiting for them all to be settled. He is only sorry that the four disciples are wet like sponges dipped into a pail of water.
"It is nothing! We are like pitched wood. Don't worry. We are getting baptized again and the baptizer is God Himself." replies Peter to Jesus' commiserations.
At last they are all settled and Peter thinks he can go and put on a dry tunic. And he goes away with the other three.
But when he comes back again to the Master, he sees the large grey mantle of the veiled woman appear round the corner of the shed and he goes towards her without considering that to do so he must cross the yard diagonally in a heavy shower of rain which is getting heavier and heavier, while the water of the pools splashes up to his knees. He takes her by the elbow, without displacing her mantle, and pulls her towards the wall of the large room, out of the rain. He then places himself beside her, as stern and still as a sentry.
"Those amongst you, who have been coming to Me regularly, must not say that I do not speak orderly, and that I skip some of the ten commandments. You hear. I see. You listen. I apply My speech to the pains and the sores that I see in you. I am the Doctor. A doctor calls first on those who are more seriously ill, on those who are closer to death. He then visits those who are not so dangerously ill. I do the same."
"Do not look round endeavoring to read the word "lustful" on somebody's face. Would you love anyone who read that word on your face? No, you would not. Well, then, do not try to read it in the worried eyes of your neighbor or on his forehead that blushes and bows to the ground. And then...
Oh! tell Me, especially you MEN. Which of you has not tasted the sin of Adultery? It is a bread made with ashes and excrement, this is it's vaule to your Soul. Love is NOT sexual lust. And is lust only what carries you for one hour between the arms of anohter man's wife or a prostitute? Does not lust also desecrate the Divine union between a man and his wife, desecrated because it is vice which pollutes. Does NOT getting caught evade its consequences?
"Marriage means procreation, trust, and love. The very act is a union between two Souls joined by GOD in HIS favor. Otherwise it is immoral and act of lust which has many unintended consequences. You must not soil and befoul your nuptial bed. And that is what it become if it is soiled by lust during the act of Adultery. The sacrament of marriage is consecrated faithfulness and the divine gift of maternity. The earth does not reject the seed, it receives it and makes a plant of it. The seed does not escape from the furrow after being laid there. But it takes root at once and it strives to grow and bear fruit, that is the vegetable creature born of the union between soil and seed.
Man is the seed, woman is the soil, the fruit is the offspring. It is sinful to refuse to bear fruit and scatter strength in vice. It is Adultery is NOT performed on the nuptial bed, and in no way differs from the other prostitution, on the contrary it is aggravated by disobedience to the commandment that says:
"Be one flesh and multiply by bearing children. Always be faithful to your wife, to your vows, to your promise to GOD."
"Do you not consider that pleasure outside of marriage is a poison that contaminates every mouth that tastes it?
Adultery burns with a dark fire that seems to satisfy, instead it falls out of the fireplace and devours, more and more insatiable, leaving a sour taste of ash on the tongue as well as disgust, nausea and contempt both of oneself and of the partner committing Adultery.
Sinful pleasure consumes the man who betrays his martial vows. When a Godly man's conscience revives, and it does revive between the acts of Adultery, he can but feel such deep inner-contempt for himself, because he has willingly lowered himself and his nuptial bed below the level of beasts and animals.
"You shall not fornicate"
A great deal of the carnal actions of men are fornication. And I do not take into consideration the inconceivable.
But after mentioning the duty of husband and wife in marriage, which is no longer holy when it becomes barren through malice, I am going to speak of the true and proper fornication between man and woman performed out of reciprocal vice or for compensation in money or in gifts."
"The human body is a magnificent temple that contains an altar. God should be on the altar. But God is absent when there is corruption present due to Adultery.
The act of polluting the wedding bed makes man an impure temple, a desecrated altar absent the presence of God.
Like a drunken person who wallows in filth and mire, sleeping in his own vomit, man lowers himself in the brutality of lustful fornication and becomes worse than the most impure worm and beast."
"Tell Me, if among you there is anyone who has perverted himself to the extent of dealing with his body as one deals in animal droppings? For momentary lust which benefit did he gain? Take your hearts in your hands, examine them, question them, listen to them, note their wounds, their pangs and then tell Me:
Was the rotted stinking fruit of Adultery so sweet to inflict such pain upon ones soul? Not only one Soul but two Souls, the heart and Soul of your wife, the mother of your children?
Was the momentary lapse of faith worth blackening a heart that was born Holy and Pure? Was the act of adultery worth living in an impure body devoid of the light of GOD your Father in Heaven?
"I gave birth to sin which tore my house apart! It was my Adultery which shattered my happy, comfortable life. My partner in sin simply laughed at me when my lies came tumbling down upon my head. Her words to Me...Serves you right Cheater..."
"Do you not feel your hearts shudder with shame, when you meet an old solemn looking man because of his white hair and you consider that you have soiled your fathers' heads with handfuls of mud and have exposed them to the scorn of their native country?"
"But, above all, Be terrified of the Just Judge Who created you and is waiting for you to ask you:
"What have you to say of yourself? Did I not bless you and your household with happiness, trust, and fidelity. How dare you come to My presence, you nest swarming with worms and putrefaction? You have had everything of what was your god: Adultery and Lust. Go! Into outer-darkness to the place of eternal malediction and Hell fire!"
