PEACE

"Father, what is real peace? Everyone today wishes to find it, but few are those that obtain it; nobody puts it into practice, maybe because nobody really knows what it is. So I ask you to help me understand what true peace is."

"You know very well what true peace is: it's what I have put personally 196 within your heart; With my Spirit I have swept away every conflict within you 197.
True peace is the absence of conflict. Two opposites parties who fight against each other determine a conflict. Peace is established when one of the two parts wins and begins to dominate over the other one, establishing new laws and with the authority to enforce them".

"But then, o Lord, is it possible for someone who hates you, who loves Satan, whose life is under the control of the devil to experience peace?"

"Yes, it's possible for a brief, very brief period, to experience a sense of peace 198, of satisfaction, but this is a distorted state; It's artificial and based on weak foundations; Sooner or later this situation will collapse and it will bring to a greater conflict than the one before; This person will sink in a sense of confusion, powerlessness and terrible depression.

True peace is only possible inside of the individual. In the present society, which is not under my dominion 199, it's impossible to find true peace. For this reason you see hate, vanity, superficiality, strife, fight, prevarication abuse, perversion, malignity and everything else that comes from a corrupt being such as Satan 200.

Like I said, in order for peace to reign, it is necessary that one force dominates over the opposite one. In my kingdom, the future one 201, I will be the ruler and I am loving, good, honest, true, friendly, sincere; I love my creatures, like a good father loves his children, so there will be true peace amongst the nations 202. But today I act within each individual who invites me in his life 203 teaching him how he can and must win evil 204; Through the Word and prayer I fortify my children 205. The presence of my spirit takes away the anguish and the insecurity that the spiritually dead feel inside, and pushes them to seek refuge in philosophy , in religions, in political parties, in conflicts and in their career.

As you know very well, I take away the evil which surrounds my children, but I don't take away the trials 206, nor the fears; with my Spirit I give them my strength, with my Word, the Bible, I give them my power 207. With these two things and with the love which comforts them, peace is established, so that all earthly conflict can be overcome 208.

I was there when my children in Rome's arenas were torn apart by the lions; I was there when my children, guardians of my sheep, were massacred in the prisons of Eastern Europe; But even then their peace and their strength was great 209. I know how much pain I felt for them, but their face shined and the courage filled their hearts; My Spirit held them in the palm of my hand 210.

In this world you won't find true peace in material possessions; In this world of thieves more possessions you have, more you are anguished; You won't find peace in religious or philosophical practices; I am the only true peace within you, in your heart, in your everyday life, my presence in you, my conscience within your mind is the true peace; without me it is impossible to experience true peace 211.

There is great bitterness in me when a child looses his peace, blinded by the things of the world; What is worse is that the person who has no peace takes away peace from those who are close to him, and generates many negative consequences 212.

Peace has a price. When I say in the Gospel " I give you my peace" I mean that besides that sense of peace, I open your eyes to life and I show you the circumstances and allow you to attribute the right importance to the elements of life 213.

If you want to become rich, if you always want to be the first amongst others, if you desire for everything to go your way, you'll never have peace because the others, blinded by the desires of the world, want exactly the same things, at your expenses. If you want to do it your way, you'll live oppressed by the objectives of the world. Uncertainty and instability will dominate your existence. You won't have peace until you've reached your goal, but once you reach it, you'll be petrified to lose it. Or you will set another more distant goal, falling in the whirlpool of instability 214.

But if you put your trust entirely in me, if you put my teachings into practice, what you desire will be given to you 215, but not according to human values, because what I give cannot fade away.

A man is not hungry any more when he has eaten; he feels content and satisfied. I know how to nourish and how to fill him 216. The world always wants you to be hungry for new things, so that your desires may have complete control of you.

Society wants to absorb all your energy, until the day when you will be too tired and old and you will be put aside from the system; What you have built won't be worth anything. In the world, we know, there is no peace but tribulation, but remember, I have overcome the world 217."
