From Hell to Heaven · Volume 2 · Chapter 269

The Lord reveals Himself to the one in love Blind heart more insightful than erudite intellect Great blessings upon the mountain

1. Say Mary: “Ah, You would have to be a most mighty friend of the Lord, if imbued with such power! Your method of counselling also is completely that of the Lord, excepting that you seem to be somewhat stricter than the Lord could be. Whoever therefore is on good terms with you is bound to be so with the Lord.”

2. Say I: ““Why do you consider Me more strict than the Lord Himself?” Says Mary: “Because it seems to please You to shortly see the entire Earth in dust and ashes before You. Punish the rich usurers and help the poor in the Lord’s name, and the Earth shall turn good again!” Say I: “Indeed,

so it shall be; you are to be right! This time a judgment shall come over the profiteers. These moles shall be drowned by a flood of God’s wrath in midst of their wheeling’s and dealings!

3. Oh you My beloved one, I quite hear the wailing and crying and weeping of poverty. I see the bakers, millers and butchers do dreadful profiteering, but they act as if the next day would see them beggars. They pretend to not earn enough for purchasing a spoonful of soup. My dear Mary, this injustice cries to heaven! And that’s the way of nearly all groceries.

4. Other rich who normally support the needy are retreating to cut the economies. But all live well, only the poor have to bear tenfold misery. Behold, this shall shortly awaken God’s long-asleep wrath, bringing down indescribable judgment over all money lenders, brokers and usurers, but also over all the rich who close off their hearts and homes to the poor. This time it shall come to pass that the poor shall praise God and the rich curse everything that opposes them, but it shall not help them!”

5. Says Mary: “But, dearest friend, how do you know so well what the Lord will do? Are you so filled with God’s spirit that You prophesy as if You Yourself were the Lord?” Say I: “Well, go now to your disciples and call them over here so we can sort them out.”

6. Mary goes over, announcing to the many followers: “Dear brothers and sisters, the Lord has heard our prayers and sent messengers from heaven to lead us to the realm of light, life and truth in God, Who is the final goal of all our strivings and our love forever!” All arise and come with me over to those two messengers!”

7. They all rejoice and move over to Me in good order, forming a wide circle seven deep around Me. Mary comes back to Me, saying: “Friend, here they all are, and so far as I know none are without their wedding clothes. All of them think the way I do, for I have taught and led them here as best I could. To guide them further would not be possible, as I know of no further path. You are so filled with the love and power of the Lord that love for You consumes me. So let us have some of the excess of the Lord’s love for His children which you are endued with and reveal also the Lord’s holy will that we may recognise what is left for us to do!”

8. Say I: “My dear one, time is running out and Thursday is coming to an end. The Earth’s sun has long since left the horizon. Wherefore I shall briefly explain to you where you stand and what in future will be your business; hearken to Me:

9. The Lord whom you love so much, but whom you are now forcing yourself to love because your heart can no longer leave Me out, am even I Myself (here Mary sinks to her knees). And your present task is that you now follow Me to that hill towards East where many await us. There you shall be blessed and strengthened with My love, grace, strength and might!”

10. With these words Mary somewhat recovers, calling out with love-broken heart: “Lord, Lord, My God, My Father! Now I know why my heart glowed so much for you. When my intellect tried to turn my heart to God, the heart was more understanding, not wanting to let You go. Wherefore people ought to pay more attention to the education of their heart than their minds; because if the heart in its blindness already sees more than the intellect with open eyes, what a well-educated heart would not be able to see! Oh Lord, Thou love of my heart’s love, forgive the immense blindness of my intellect for not recognising you since my heart recognised you so easily when aware of your proximity!”

11. Say I: “Fear not, My dear Mary, all is well; arise and tell your disciples to follow us.” Mary immediately rises with joy and love-filled heart to proclaim My will to her disciples. These fall upon their faces, crying a powerful praise. Mary counsels them wisely however, and all get off the ground, saying: “Holy Father, show us grace and receive us as the last of Your servants.”

12. Say I: “All peace be with you; rest your troubles upon My shoulders, and My grace and love be your life eternally! Let your task be to love Me, and your brothers and sisters as yourselves! For my law for the Earth also is law for all the heavens! But now follow Me!”

13. All arise and in a few minutes we are at the familiar spot and greeted fervently be all. Finding ourselves upon the Reinerkogel and taking up the entire area right down to the plain, I bless all the newly won and let them be provided with the true bread and true wine from the heavens.

14. On being filled, they again extol praise and thanks that lasts till Friday morning. At rise of the terrestrial sun, the newly-arrived sink into deep reverence, praying to Me from the depth of their

hearts, not finishing till midday, during which time a countless host of monks of all kinds are approaching the hill from every side.
