I know who you are – the Holy One of God!

1 Ts 5,1-6.9-11; Ps 26; Lk 4,31-37
3 SEPTEMBER

Whoever says a historical truth must always respect its end, which is the greatest good of the person to whom it belongs. But it must never be said for a bad end. It could provoke an evil not only towards the person who bears that truth, but also towards the community, if not towards the whole of humanity. The truth must be sought, confessed, preached and declared only for the greatest good of all. Never must the end of truth be evil, because evil does not belong to the truth. Evil belongs to falsehood, lie, deception and foolishness. The wise always uses truth with wisdom. The fool always with foolishness. Only the greatest good belongs to man, always. Jesus is the only true Son of God. He is the only Son of God by eternal generation. He is the only true Christ of God, that is, his Messiah. This is his historical truth. Currently this truth cannot be said. It would cause irreparable damage to Jesus. Knowing this, Satan right from the first meeting with Jesus, immediately wants to reveal his truth. In fact, he reveals him as the Saint of God, that is, the Messiah awaited by Israel and by the Gentiles according to ancient prophecies. Jesus imposes silence on him. He forces him to leave the man. Thus, he will also stop revealing his truth of nature, of vocation and of mission. The moment has not yet arrived.

We know that Jesus will reveal this truth to his Apostles, imposing silence on them when he makes the decision to go to Jerusalem to be crucified. He will reveal it to the world of the Jews a few days before his crucifixion. He will reveal it under oath to the Sanhedrin the evening before his death on Golgotha. Divine and human wisdom! Then, when he will be resurrected, he will send his Apostles all over the world to announce salvation in his name of Lord and Judge of the living and the dead. Today it is not the time to know the historical truth of Jesus, because his people does not wait for the Christ of God in the fullness of the divine truth. It awaits him according to the great falsity of man’s thought. Between the Christ of God and Christ according to his people there is the same unbridgeable distance that reigns between the thoughts of God and the thoughts of man. The west and the east are closer, even if the west is more and more to the west and the east more and more to the east for those who are walking in that direction. A Messiah according to man is not the Messiah according to God. Satan revealed the true Messiah according to God so that he were burned as the Messiah according to men. Thus the work of redemption could never have been accomplished. Here is the evil and wicked end of Satan in unveiling the historical truth of Jesus.

Jesus then went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee. He taught them on the Sabbath, and they were astonished at his teaching because he spoke with authority. In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out in a loud voice, “Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet! Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him any harm. They were all amazed and said to one another, “What is there about his word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” And news of him spread everywhere in the surrounding region.

Let each of us ask himself: do I say the historical truth of a person only for his greatest good? Jesus never said a truth except for the greatest good of every man. Even the troubles uttered against scribes and Pharisees have only one purpose. Jesus manifests their historical truth of hypocrites or ignorant in the things of God not because they had to be humiliated by people, but because they got converted, listening to his Word and believing in the Gospel. Truth will be said for eternal good or for eternal evil on the day of judgment. That day we will be declared according to our truth of good for eternal salvation, but also in our truth of evil for our ruin, perdition and eternal damnation. With death there will no longer exist the truth for conversion, but only that which will declare us blessed or damned. It is the tremendous day of judgment.

Mother of God, Angels and Saints, do not allow Christians to tell the truth for evil.
