Do you also want to leave?
At 9,31-42; Ps 115; Jn 6,60-69
11 MAY
Man’s salvation is his return to the eternal truth from which he was created in his image and likeness. The eternal truth is God the Father. It is his Only Son. It is the Holy Spirit. Man was created in the image of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. With sin, man left eternal truth. He has entered into the falsity of the soul, of the spirit and of the body. He dragged the earth into falsehood, because it is used by falsehood and no longer by truth. On the other hand it would be really impossible for a man who emerged from falsehood to use things from the truth. With an eternal decree, the Father established to bring man back into the truth of the origins, rather to give him a truth even bigger and brighter than the one given to him at the moment of his creation. His Only Son, his Eternal Word becomes flesh, comes to dwell among us to make us true in his truth, to fill us with his eternal life, to give us all grace so that we can walk from truth to truth. Salvation is from the truth of Christ Jesus. The truth of Christ Jesus is obtained through two ways: the preaching of truth, the proclamation that Christ is the only truth and the gift of truth, to which man is called to be converted, welcoming in faith the Word of truth and letting himself be transformed into the truth of Christ and into Christ truth through the sacraments of the Church.
Jesus announces what his truth is and the way through which man might become perfect truth of the Father, of Christ the Lord and of the Holy Spirit. Man refuses to believe, to welcome in faith the Word of the announcement of truth and the way by which he might become truth and remain eternally truth. He abandons Jesus, leaves and does not follow him. At this point two ways are opened. Jesus could renounce his truth from which the truth of man is and to have disciples behind him, for a human prestige, of lie and falsehood and agree with the thought of the earth. Or he would remain firm in his truth and let those who first followed him follow their path. If Jesus had agreed with the thought of the world, renouncing his truth, he would have declared his mission useless. He is the incarnated eternal truth to bring every man through his humanity into the eternal truth of the Father, through his Holy Spirit. Renouncing this mission, he makes all the eternal decree of the Father that established to make man true only in his Incarnate Word, vain. Jesus remains in his eternal truth and incarnate truth. He lets everyone go. He knows that if he remains firm in his truth, some soul would have one day become truth in him, with him and for him. Here are the two ways: abandoning the truth and leaving the world forever in falsehood. It would have been Satan’s greatest victory over Christ Jesus. Abandoning men to their falsity, but remaining him in truth, as eternal truth, for those who tomorrow will want to become truth in him, with him and for him. Jesus chooses the way of truth and he remains eternally way of salvation for human kind.
Then many of his disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you? What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.” As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”
Today the same choice that was of Christ must be made by the Church. Pope, bishops, priests, deacons, confirmed and baptized persons, must preserve themselves in the pure truth of Christ. They must preserve the Word and grace in the truth of Christ, every sacrament must be preserved in the truth. If they surrender to falsehood, everything becomes false and the world sinks into a falsehood and an infernal darkness. The choice obliges.
Mother of God, Angels and Saints, do not allow us to abandon our eternal truth.
