THE FATHER'S MESSAGE Part 2 Pg.1
PART II
The second part begins on 12 August 1932. One day the devil took it and slashed its cover
with a pair of scissors.
"I have just opened up a fountain of living water which will never dry up from now
until the end of time. I am coming to you, My creatures, to open My paternal Breast, filed
with love for you, My children. I want you to be witnesses of My infinite and merciful
love. It is not enough for Me to have shown you My love; I also want to open up My Heart
to you, whence a refreshing spring will issue and where all men will quench their thirst.
They will then experience joys they have never known until now through being so weighed
down by the exaggerated fear they had of Me, their tender Father.
Since the time when I promised men a Saviour, I have let this spring gush forth. (Mother
Eugenia's note: "I have been able to see this spring everyday since He first talked
about it.") I made it pass through My Son's Heart to reach you. But My immense love
for you makes Me do even more, opening My Breast from Which this water of salvation will
gush for My Children, and I permit them to draw freely whatever they need for time and for
eternity.
If you wish to test the power of this spring about which I am talking, first learn to know
Me better and to love Me to the extent that I desire, that is not only as a Father, But as
Your Friend and Confidant.
Why are you so surprised by what I am saying? Did I not create you in My image? I did this
so that you should find nothing strange when You talk on familiar terms with your Father,
Your Creator and your God. For you have become the children of My fatherly and divine love
through My merciful goodness.
My Son Jesus is in Me and I am in Him, in our interchanging love which is the Holy Spirit,
Who keeps us united in this bond of love so as to make us ONE.
My Son is the vessel of this fountain that men may go and draw from His Heart, Which is
always full to overflowing with the water of salvation! But you have to assure yourselves
of the existence of this fountain which My Son opens up for you, so that you can convince
yourselves that it is fresh and pleasing! So come to Me through My Son and, once you are
close to Me, confide your desires to Me. I will show you this fountain, making Myself
known to you as I really am. When you know Me, your thirst will be quenched, you will be
revived, your ills will be cured, your fears will vanish. Your joy will be great and your
love will feel securer than it has ever been before.
But, you will say to Me, how can we come to You? Oh, come by the path of confidence, call
Me your Father, love Me in spirit and truth, and this will be enough to make this
refreshing and powerful water quench your thirst.
But if you really want this water to give you all you need to know and love Me, and if you
feel cold and indifferent, call Me by the sweet name of Father and I will come to you. My
spring will give you love, confidence and everything you need to be loved forever by your
Father and Creator.
As I desire most to be known by all of you, so that you can enjoy, even here on earth, My
goodness and My tenderness, make yourselves apostles to those who still do not know Me and
I will bless your toil and efforts, preparing great glory for you with Me in eternity!
I am the ocean of charity, My children, and this is another proof of the paternal love I
feel for all of you, without exception, regardless of your age, your status or your
country. Nor do I exclude different societies, sects, believers, unbelievers, the
indifferent. I enfold in this love all the rational creatures who make up humanity.
Here is the proof of this: I am the ocean of charity. I showed you the spring which pours
from My Breast to quench your thirst, and now, in order to let you see My goodness towards
everyone, I am going to show you the ocean of My universal charity, that you may dive into
it blindly. Why? So that, diving into this ocean, souls rendered bitter by faults and sins
may lose that bitterness in this bath of love. They will emerge from this ocean better,
happy at having learned how to be good and charitable. If, because of ignorance or
weakness, you yourselves happen to fall again into this state of bitterness, I shall still
be an ocean of charity, ready to receive this bitter drop, transform it into charity and
goodness and make you holy as I, your Father, am.
My children, do you want to live your life on earth peacefully and joyfully? Come and cast
yourselves into this immense ocean and remain in it forever. As you work and live your
normal life, this life will be sanctified through charity.
As for My children who do not follow the truth, I wish all the more to enfold them in My
fatherly predilection, so that they may open their eyes to the light which now shines more
clearly then ever.
This is the time of graces, foreseen and awaited since the beginning of time! I am here
personally to talk to you. I come as the most tender and loving of fathers. I stoop down,
forgetful of Myself, to raise you up to Me and ensure your salvation. All of you are now
living and you, too, who are in the void, but who will live century after century until
the end of the world, remember that you are not alone: a Father thinks of you and offers
you a share in the unfathomable privileges of His Love. Approach the spring which will
gush forever from My Fatherly Breast. Taste the sweetness of this health-giving water and
when you have felt all its delicious power in your souls satisfying all your needs come
and cast yourselves into the ocean of My charity, so as to live only in Me, to die to
yourselves and to live eternally in Me.
(Mother Eugenia's Note: "Our Father told me in a intimate dialogue: 'The spring is
the symbol of My knowledge; the ocean of that of My charity and of your trust, when you
wish to drink from this spring, study Me in order to know Me and, when you know Me, dive
into the ocean of My charity, trusting in Me with a confidence so deep as to transform
yourselves: this I shall be unable to resist. I shall then forgive your errors and lavish
the greatest favours upon you.'")
