My dearest daughter today I reveal to all My Children My future plans for the New Heavens and the New Earth
When they merge into one glorious Paradise there will be twelve nations.
These nations will consist of some nations in the world who have shown allegiance to Me, God the Father, My Son Jesus Christ and the Mother of God, Queen of Heaven.
Those scattered will be brought together to join those other nations as one, united as one Holy Family.
My Will, will be honoured. You will all have the gift of free will but it will be entwined with Mine. Only then will the truth of Paradise be truly revealed.
My Twelve nations are signified in the twelve stars on the woman in the Book of Revelation.
The woman is the Mother of God and she wears the twelve stars to signify two things.
The twelve apostles helped My Son to set up His Church on Earth.
The twelve specially chosen nations will form the one true apostolic Church on the New Earth when Heaven and Earth merge as one in My New Glorious Paradise.
This is the moment I have been waiting patiently for.
My Divine Will, which created Paradise for Adam and Eve and which was thrown aside caused by temptation by the evil one, will now be done and the this time Paradise will be perfect.
My Son, King of Mankind, King of the Universe, will reign over My New Paradise on Earth.
He will appoint leaders in every nation all joined together by My Divine Will.
The people of those nations will honour My Son in the way in which He must be, the only way, in peace and love for one another.
His Blessed Mother, the Mother of Salvation, was crowned Queen of Heaven and will also reign as Queen of the New Paradise.
Her Coronation in Heaven was a very special Divine Manifestation of her role in the future of the salvation of the world.
She was crowned in great honour and splendour for the role she played, not only as the Mother of God and as spouse of the Holy Spirit, but as the Mother of Salvation given the power to destroy Satan.
It was My Beloved Son who lovingly placed the crown of twelve stars on the head of the Mother of God at her Coronation.
It will be My Son who will place the crown on her head in the New Paradise as Queen of all God’s children.
My Divine Plan to save humanity has already begun.
It is My desire that this Mission will help Me gather lost souls in every corner of the earth and save them from the enemy before it is too late.
My Divine intervention will prove My love for all of My children.
Nothing is impossible. Nothing is hopeless in My battle against Satan’s army.
I will bring you a new world that will astound you in all its magnificent glory. It is ready.
Its beauty and splendour is beyond your human capacity to envisage.
When you do witness it, you will have eternal life.
Pray that those poor children of mine who do not believe in Me, God the Most High, who do not obey My Laws and who commit terrible atrocities against each other, repent.
I do not want to lose one child of Mine.
Help Me to bring them this wonderful glorious inheritance. Unfortunately it must be by their own free will.
I love you children with a passion unknown to humanity.
Come to Me through My Son as one.
The time for the New Paradise on earth is very near but you have been accorded the time to help convert humanity through this Mission of the 7th Angel on earth who works with My Son to bring My family to Me.
Your Loving Father
Creator of all things visible and invisible
God the Most High

Virgin Mary speaks: WHAT MAN COULD EVER REJECT THIS NEW PERFECT EXISTENCE
9 August 2013 @ 6:38pm
"My child, every effort will be made by the evil one to encourage all souls, including those who are closest to the Heart of my Son, to reject and deny His Second Coming.
Just as the spirit of evil fought against me, the Mother of God, in the time leading up to the birth of Jesus, the same opposition will be witnessed as His Second Coming draws near.
"Many people are blind to the Promise made by my Son, when He said that He would come again. Many, who do not accept that His Second Coming will happen soon, are unprepared because they cannot accept that it will take place in their lifetime. Whereas, in the days soon after my Son’s death on the Cross, His apostles thought that they would witness His Second Coming. This belief was also prevalent in the minds of Christians many hundreds of years later. But this is not the case today. Some believe that the Second Coming refers to an old part of Holy Scripture and that it is an event which is part of the future. They do not believe that the Second Coming has any relevance for them in today’s modern world. Everything in the world today is based on materialism, modern human intelligence and the great wonders which spring from great advances in science.
"Children, you must prepare. You must not be frightened. It is because you are very much loved by my Son that He comes back soon to bring you a great peace, a great freedom from sadness and despair – which are caused directly as a result of sin in the world.
"The Second Coming of Christ is what humanity needs to survive. If Jesus did not come soon, as foretold, then the world would be destroyed and man would be forsaken. This Gift will bring you a new life, a new wonderful and glorious beginning in the New Paradise. It will be the greatest renewal of the Earth and with it will come Eternal Life. What man could ever reject this new perfect existence? No one, if given the full knowledge of this New Era of Peace, where Paradise will be restored, would turn their backs. Not one single sinner would want to be excluded, but sadly the minds of many will be blinded to the Truth. Instead, they will believe that peace will be theirs when they swallow the lies, which will soon be presented to them, in the mistaken belief that they come from God.
Pray, pray, children, that you are blessed with the Gift of vision, given to those of you who are worthy to be bestowed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit. Only those who accept the Hand of Mercy, by the Hand of God, will be taken into a life of eternity."
Your beloved Mother
Mother of Salvation

That will be the Greatest Day since God created Adam and Eve
June 13, 2014 fatherofloveandmercy
My dearly beloved daughter, My Time is very near and because of this, it is important that every single person in the world prepares, as if they were to be taken from this life at any moment. Do not ignore My Call, for those who fail to prepare for the Great Day will be left in great anguish.
On the Day of My Second Coming, which will be preceded by The Warning, where I will prove to the world Who I Am, you must be ready. I come for all of you to take you into the exquisite new and glorious Paradise. I do not desire to exclude anyone. Each of you is a cherished child of God. Those who are not aware of their parentage will know, instantly, Who I Am. For it will stem from an ingrained human instinct, just as a child who is separated from its natural parent will know their own flesh and blood, even if it takes a lifetime to reunite with each other.
It will feel natural and, for those who have a warm heart, the final moment will be filled with an exhilarating love. You have nothing to fear.
For those who choose to believe in false gods and who do not recognize the Triune God, you will not readily accept Me, for you have always rejected Me. Yet, I will pull you towards Me and embrace you. The Power of God will descend over you, through the Gift of the Holy Spirit, and you will find it hard to turn your back on Me. So for all those who see Me, including those who rejected Me in this life, most of you will realize the Truth at that stage. You will allow Me to pull you into My Sacred Arms.
I will lift you all, in an instant, in the blink of an eye, into My New Kingdom. And then will commence the beginning of the end. Those souls who idolized the beast and who gave themselves over in body, mind and soul to Satan, and who became his willing agents, will have nowhere to turn, nowhere to hide and they will be left without any help, for Satan will have forsaken them. For by then, Satan will be cast into the abyss and his power will cease completely at that point. To those souls, I say this. Even at that stage I will show you Mercy. You must call out to Me and say:
“Jesus, help me. Jesus, forgive me for all my sins.”
and I will lift you, too, into My New Paradise.
I will save every soul who calls on Me just before the skies close; the mountains collapse and the sea floods the Earth and then the Heavens will disappear along with the old Earth. Up will rise My New Paradise, the New Heaven and Earth, just as it was created for Adam and Eve, and all will rejoice. For that will be the Greatest Day since God created Adam and Eve. Never lose hope and remember My Words to you now.
My Mercy is so Great that even those who have sold their souls to the devil will be saved, if they so desire, by calling out to Me on the Final Day. They too can live an Eternal Life of great glory, with all of God’s children. This New Paradise is your rightful inheritance. Do not squander it for the false and empty promises of Satan.
I love you all. Always keep My Love locked within your hearts and I will always protect you from evil.
Your Jesus

Great rejoicing will take place everywhere. This will last 100 days
August 30, 2013 fatherofloveandmercy
My dearly beloved daughter, please ensure that every nation hears My Prophecies, so that they can prepare themselves for the wonderful, renewed Earth – the New Paradise. Every child of God is entitled to his or her inheritance and so, just as if they were preparing for a great wedding, they must begin to plan for this Great Day.
I Call out to Jews, Muslims and Christians, as well as every other creed, to listen to Me now. Not one of you will be untouched by the wickedness of the antichrist. But if you prepare now, you will become immune to the suffering which he will inflict on the world, by taking the Seal of the Living God and keeping it in your homes.
When the Word of God, the True Word, is made known to you, you must stop and listen, for it will lead you to the Gates of the New Heaven and the New Earth. This New Paradise is awaiting and will become home to billions of souls, including those who await in the state of Purgatory and in Heaven. I will unite all those whose hearts are open to the Command of God, who will feel the Love of My Mercy.
Please do not fear this Day, as it will bring you great happiness, peace and joy. My Kingdom will astonish you, because of its astounding beauty. Many of you fear My Messages because you believe that the Second Coming means death – the end. But that would be an incorrect assumption.
Those of you who come to Me willingly, without any conditions, with humility and love, will not experience the pain of physical death. Instead, you will, in the blink of an eye, find yourself in your new surroundings. This will shock you at first and you will look around you quickly to find your loved ones. I will save so many souls that you will be with your families, including those who you love, who are already with Me in Heaven and those I will release from the fires of Purgatory.
Great rejoicing will take place everywhere. This will last 100 days. My New Paradise will have only one religion, the New Jerusalem, where I will be adored, daily. All will be in union with the Holy Will of My Father. There will be twelve nations, but only one language, for I will not permit division.
I will appoint leaders and in each nation there will be no shortage of food, water, homes or life. There will be no death, because I will give all those who enter, Eternal Life. All nations will work together to spread the Word of God, and happiness, which is impossible to attain on Earth today, will be one of the greatest Gifts I will present to you. You will be very much loved and you will love Me, just as I love you.
Many of you will meet generations of your families, going back centuries. Generations will continue and so you will see your sons and daughters marry and produce perfect children of God – each blessed with great Graces. There will be appointed, a Head of My Church and his name is Peter, for I promised that he would form My Church on Earth. And so, in the New Paradise he will head up My Church.
Oh if only I could show you what lies before you, you would cry tears of joy and fight your way to the Gates. So please, all of you, ignore attempts to stop you in your quest for Eternal Life. Ignore those who tell you that I do not Exist. Do not give credence to those who use My Holy Word to convince you that I do not speak to you now through these Messages.
You must fight for all of you to be given this glorious inheritance, for no man has the right to deny another this great inheritance, which belongs to every single one, no matter how blackened their souls may be. I Am giving you the tools to bring Me souls, everywhere, so that together we can destroy the work of Satan and move swiftly into the New World.
My peace be with you.
Your Jesus

The Paradise, created by My Father for His children, is to be returned to them, finally, in all its original Glory
March 16, 2014 fatherofloveandmercy
My dearly beloved daughter, when the Word was made Flesh, through My birth, this meant that the Holy Word of God materialized, as prophesied in My Father’s Book.
The Word of God is very clear and it does not change. It will last for eternity. Anyone who tears the Word of God apart and amends it to suit himself, or others, is guilty of heresy. When I came into the world, God’s children – and especially His learned servants in His Temples on Earth – knew the prophecies contained in My Father’s Book. It was no secret that My Father was sending His Messiah to redeem mankind and this fact was taught in the temples and included in every reading of the Holy Scriptures. Everything, which comes from My Father, is the Truth. He does not lie. The Word of God is cast in stone. What My Father said in the beginning will happen. What He promised will be fulfilled, irrespective as to whether mankind is accepting of the fact or not.
My Father gave the world His Word, then His Flesh, through My birth – His only Son Jesus Christ – and then promised man Eternal Salvation. Every Word contained in the Holy Bible, as it was given in its original format, including the Book of Revelation, is the Truth.
Therefore, My Father’s Promise to the world that He would send His Son again – only this time to judge the living and the dead – must never be rejected. The period before this Great Day will be a turbulent one and details of the time leading up to My Second Coming are contained in the Book of Revelation, as dictated to John by the Angel of the Lord.
To say that you accept one part of My Father’s Book and not the other is to deny the Word of God. You cannot accept one part of the Truth and declare the rest of the Word of God to be a lie. The Book of Truth was foretold to Daniel and then given in parts to John the Evangelist. Much of what is contained in the Book of Revelation is still to unfold. Many people fear its contents and, as such, will try to deny them, for the Truth is a bitter pill to swallow. And yet, the Truth, when it is accepted, is something you can grasp much more easily because with it comes clarity. Clarity means that you can prepare more readily and with peace in your soul and joy in your heart, because you know that I Am coming to renew the world. You will know that the Paradise created by My Father, for His children, is to be returned to them, finally, in all its original Glory.
No man can truly understand the Book of Revelation, for not every event is recorded in detail or in sequence, nor is it meant to be. But know this. You can be sure that this is the period when Satan’s reign dies and as he reaches the end, he will inflict every punishment upon Me. He will do this by infiltrating My Church on Earth from within. He will steal souls from Me and desecrate My Body, the Holy Eucharist. But I Am the Church and I will lead My people. Satan cannot destroy Me, for this is impossible. He can, however, destroy many souls by deceiving them into believing that he is Me.
Just as the world was prepared for My First Coming, so also is it now being prepared for My Second Coming. To those who oppose Me, in My Efforts to save souls and who embrace My enemies, know this. You will never defeat the Power of God. You will never destroy the Word. You will never desecrate My Body and be allowed to stay standing.
When the prophecies, which are contained in the Book of Revelation, unfold, you must never despair, for be assured that the Love of God for His children means that He will deal with His enemies harshly and strive to bring all of His children, who recognise Me, His only Son, into His Divine Haven of Peace.
And while the enemies of God will steal the souls of many, through a veneer of charm and deceit, many people will pour scorn on the True Word of God.
For those who are blessed with vision, fear not My enemies, but the Wrath of God, as it descends on those who try to steal the souls of those who are none the wiser as to what is taking place.
God’s Love is Almighty and His Allegiance to the survival of every person is infinite. But His Punishment upon His enemies is as fierce as it is final.
Your Jesus

First Message from God the Father: The time has come now for Me to reclaim My Glorious Kingdom – New Paradise on Earth will last 1,000 years
June 25, 2011 fatherofloveandmercy
Note from visionary: Just before I received this Message, I had just finished reciting the Divine Mercy when suddenly the Holy Spirit announced to me that I was to receive a Message from God the Father. I was trembling with nerves. I then asked the question “In whose Name do you come?” This was the response:
I come in the Name of My beloved Son, Jesus Christ, Saviour of mankind. I Am God the Father and I Am speaking to you for the first time. My chosen daughter, I speak to you today so that I can inform mankind of the Love I have for all.
Many do not know Me. They think they do, but for millions of My children I Am merely a faceless entity. So little do they know of My desire to allow them to let Me Love them in the way in which it was meant to be.
My Name is used loosely in the world, by many who don’t acknowledge that it was by My Hand that the world and its creatures were made. For those that do, they are confused as to Who I Am and are somewhat fearful of Me. I Am not to be feared for My Love is Pure for all of My children.
So much do I love you that I made the greatest Sacrifice of all to bring you back into My Arms and give you the opportunity to be saved from the deceiver. I sent My beloved Son, Jesus Christ, into the world so that you could understand the Truth of Love. This Love, when you accept it, will save you all.
My Heart is broken by the way so many of you will not turn to Me and show Me your love. I yearn for you to simply turn and ask Me for help. There is no need to fear My Love for it was through My Love that you were given your first breath. I created each of you in My Likeness so that I could have a family. I created the world out of Pure Love so that you, My children, could share this Paradise with Me. So lovingly was this created that every single detail was so carefully constructed. So happy was I when Paradise on Earth was created that the angels rejoiced and Heaven was alight with the flames of love, that no human being could ever possibly fathom. And then it was destroyed by sin, caused by the serpent.
My children, let Me explain. The time has come for Me to reclaim the Paradise I lovingly created so that we can, again, become one family.
A family that will become close because of the powerful bonds of love that will hold it together.
This New Paradise on Earth is now being planned for all of My children.
It will last 1,000 years on Earth and no one must be excluded, for that would break My Heart. My beloved Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are trying hard to bring you back into My loving fold so that the Paradise, created in the beginning, can once again, emerge as the greatest Gift of all for My children to enjoy.
This Paradise will be a place of love, beauty, glory, and will be home to all who are pure of heart and soul. It is for every single soul on Earth and is the goal that is contained within each and every single soul on Earth, including those who do not realise this.
My Son speaks to the world and prepares to show His great Mercy during The Warning, to give all sinners a chance to enjoy the New Paradise on Earth.
You must hear My Voice. I call on all of you to pay attention. Turn back to Me. Accept that I Exist, that I Am the Source of all life, all Creation, all glory. When you do, you will be welcomed into My Paradise on Earth which offers everything you could ever dream of. Listen to My Son and the Message He gives to the world to convert you all. For those who will not listen even then, or who continue on the path of heinous sin, no Mercy will be shown.
I Am the God of all Creation. I Am the God of Love, of Compassion. I Am also the God of Justice. My Hand will fall on humanity, who through the evil allegiance to the evil one, refuse to follow the path of Love and Truth.
For the time has come now for Me to reclaim My Glorious Kingdom, which no man, through sin, will stop. Should they try they will be lost forever.
I Am your God, your Creator. My Love never dies. It is aflame and full of deep tenderness for you to bring you back to Me, to the inheritance I so lovingly created. Because of sin many of My children will have to forfeit their right to this inheritance and step back to allow those who truly love Me to enter the doors without hindrance.
Please, children, do not dismiss My Plea to mankind. Accept the Mercy now being offered by My beloved Son.
Accept it with open arms.
God the Father
Creator and Maker of All Things

Mother of Salvation: What man could ever reject this new perfect existence

New Paradise: You will be made of a pure body, incorruptible, free from disease, physical death and ageing.
Tuesday, June 26th, 2012 @ 20:00
My dearly beloved daughter the New Paradise has now been completed in its full glory ready for all of God’s children on earth.
It will be presented, in all its glory, just like the Paradise created by My Eternal Father for His children in the beginning.
How the angels sing and rejoice for the time to unveil this great splendour to a disbelieving world is very close.
It will be presented by Me when the New Jerusalem descends upon the earth at the ringing of My Second Coming.
You, My daughter, will be told to announce this just before I make myself known.
Only those who accept Me as the Messiah will be able to enter its magnificent gates.
Every call from Heaven will be made to reach out to all those who will still reject My great gift right up to the very last trumpet.
Then it will be too late for those poor souls. They will be beyond help after that as My Mercy will have been thrown back in My Face in outright rejection.
All that matters now is to warn all those who are in danger of losing their souls to Satan.
Gather them up My followers. Coax them gently into My flock. Never give up your prayers to salvage them.
Oh My beloved followers if you could see the New Paradise when Heaven and Earth will merge as one you would drop down on your knees and weep with joy and relief.
For those of you frightened about the end times, when the earth as you know it will change, then you must allow Me to ease your worries.
You will take your family with you and all with rejoice in pure utter love and harmony.
You will be made of a pure body, incorruptible, free from disease, physical death and ageing.
You all will have your own dwelling with grass, trees, mountains, rivers, streams and flowers surrounding you in all their glorious beauty.
Animals will be tame and live in peace and in harmony with all of God’s children.
You see your children marry, have children and the miracle of families, risen from the dead, will be witnessed by all.
This resurrection will be like no other joy imaginable.
You will be reunited with your loves ones who passed away in this life and went to Heaven.
You will have nations, twelve in total, all signified by the twelve stars in the crown on my My Mother’s Immaculate head, all of which will be governed by Me with My Apostles and Prophets.
This is My Kingdom, promised by My Father since He created Paradise on Earth. Anyone who rejects it will perish.
Pray that all of God’s children will have the purity of soul to enable them to come home to My Father’s Kingdom on Earth, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end, for ever and ever.
Your Jesus

Sister Faustina even tells us that in heaven the souls of the saints forever contemplate the wonder of the Holy Trinity:
Today I was in heaven, in spirit, and I saw its inconceivable beauties and the happiness that awaits us after death. I saw how all creatures give ceaseless praise and glory to God. I saw how great is happiness in God, which spreads to all creatures making them happy; and then all the glory and praise which springs from this happiness returns to its source; and they enter into the depths of God, contemplating the inner life of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, whom they will never comprehend nor fathom.
This source of happiness is unchanging in its essence, but it is always new, gushing forth happiness for all creatures. Now I understand St. Paul who said, "Eye has not seen, not has ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him" (777).
THE BOOK OF SPECIAL GRACE:
REVELATIONS OF SAINT METILDA - VIRGIN OF THE ORDER OF ST. BENEDICT.
CHAPTER X ON THE VENERATION OF THE IMAGE OF CHRIST
On the second Sunday after Epiphany, when in Rome the image of the Lord's face is exposed for the veneration of the faithful, while the Mass Omnis terra was being sung, Metilda saw the Lord on a flower-filled mountain, on a throne made of jasper and adorned with gold and rubies. The jasper represented the eternal youth of his Divinity; the gold, his love; the rubies, the Passion he suffered for our love. The mountain was surrounded by magnificent trees covered with fruit; the souls of the Saints rested in the shade of these trees, where each had its own golden pavilion, and all joyfully and deliciously nourished themselves on those fruits.
This mountain represented the life of Jesus Christ; the trees, His virtues: Charity, Mercy, and all the others. Each Saint rested under this or that tree, depending on whether he had imitated the Lord in this or that virtue. He who had imitated the Lord in Charity
ate of the fruit of the Tree of Charity; he who had practiced works of mercy nourished himself with the fruit of the Tree of Mercy; and so on with the others, according to their particular virtue.
All the faithful who had prepared themselves with some particular prayer to venerate the Holy Image approached the Lord; carrying on their shoulders the burden of their sins, they laid them at His feet, and immediately these sins were changed into gold.
Those who in their repentance were animated by love—that is, felt greater
sorrow for the offense committed against the Lord than for the punishment deserved by their sins— saw their sins changed into gold. Those who had redeemed their sins with psalters and prayers saw them transformed into golden rings, similar
to those used at weddings.
The souls who, struggling mightily, had resisted temptations found
their struggles in the form of golden shields; those who had purified themselves from sin by punishing their flesh seemed transformed into golden censers, because mortification rises before God like sweet-smelling incense.
The Lord looked at all these offerings and said: "What shall we do with these sins, so thoroughly purged? Let them all be burned in the fire of love!"
The Lord added: "Let the table be set in order." Suddenly, a table covered with golden bowls and cups appeared before the Lord, and the face of the Lord, shining like the sun, instead of food, filled these bowls and cups with the splendor of his countenance. All those present, kneeling before that table, covered like robes by the splendor of the divine face, partook of the food and drinks that form the delicious refection of the Angels and Saints. To the nuns who had not received the Sacrament of Life that day, the Lord, through Saint John the Evangelist, sent food from his royal table. Let us hasten, therefore, with holy ardor: to venerate that sweetest face which, in heaven, will be for us everything that any human and
angelic person could ever desire.
The Servant of God had taught the nuns how they could bring themselves in spirit to Rome on that day when the face of the Lord was exposed. To this end, they were to recite as many Our Fathers as there are miles between Rome and their monastery.
At this point, they were to confess to the Supreme Pontiff, that is, to God, all their sins, imploring their forgiveness, and receive the body of Jesus Christ.
Then, on that same Sunday, at the hour when they would be free to devote themselves to prayer, using a prayer dictated by the Saint for this intention, with humble reverence they were to adore the image of Christ. Saint Mechtilde had the vision mentioned above after the nuns had adopted this practice.
***
Metilda also saw four rays emanating from that face of the Lord Jesus that the angels eagerly desire to contemplate (I Peter 1:12).
The ray that came from the Lord's face above illuminated all those who are so united to God that, in prosperity as in adversity, they desire nothing but the will of God alone. The ray that came from the lowest point shone upon all sinners to call them to repentance. The one on the right illuminated all preachers who proclaim the word of God; and the one on the left, those who serve the Lord with perfect and complete fidelity.
That pious virgin began to pray for all those who had recommended themselves to her prayers and who celebrated the memory of the most sweet face of the Lord, so that they might one day contemplate it in heaven. The Lord said to her: "None of them will ever be separated from me."
The Saint then saw a rope coming from the Heart of God toward her soul, which she used to draw all those present toward the Lord. This rope represented the love that God had infused so abundantly into this holy soul, who, inflamed with such ardent love, drew everyone to God through her example and teaching.
The King of Glory, stretching out the hands of his omnipotence over his beloved, blessed her and all his help, saying: "May the light of my face be your eternal joy! Amen!"

SAINT JOHN BOSCO'S VISION OF HEAVEN
.
Saint John Bosco had a vision of Heaven in the form of a dream, which he related to his boys during one of his famous “bedtime talks.”
.
In 1876, his recently-deceased disciple Saint Dominic Savio appeared to him in a dream. Saint John Bosco told his pupils:
.
As you know, dreams come in one’s sleep. So during the night hours of December 6, while I was in my room – whether reading or pacing back and forth or resting in my bed, I am not sure – I began dreaming.
.
▪︎Marvelous Garden
It suddenly seemed to me that I was standing on a small mound or hillock, on the rim of a broad plain so far-reaching that the eye could not compass its boundaries lost in vastness. All was blue, blue as the calmest sea, though what I saw was not water. It resembled a highly polished, sparkling sea of glass. Stretching out beneath, behind and on either side of me was an expanse of what looked like seashore.
.
Broad, imposing avenues divided the plain into grand gardens of indescribable beauty, each broken up by thickets, lawns, and flower beds of varied shapes and colors.
.
"Each species and each single plant sparkled with a brilliance of its own."
.
None of the plants we know could ever give you an idea of those flowers, although there was a resemblance of sorts. The very grass, the flowers, the trees, and the fruit – all were of singular and magnificent beauty. Leaves were of gold, trunks and boughs were of diamonds, and every tiny detail was in keeping with this wealth. The various kinds of plants were beyond counting.
.
Each species and each single plant sparkled with a brilliance of its own. Scattered throughout those gardens and spread over the entire plain I could see countless buildings whose architecture, magnificence, harmony, grandeur and size were so unique that one could say all the treasures of earth could not suffice to build a single one.
If only my boys had one such house, I said to myself, how they would love it, how happy they would be, and how much they would enjoy being there! Thus ran my thoughts as I gazed upon the exterior of those buildings, but how much greater must their inner splendor have been!
.
An Enchanting Melody
As I stood there basking in the splendor of those gardens, I suddenly heard music most sweet – so delightful and enchanting a melody that I could never adequately describe it. … A hundred thousand instruments played, each with its own sound, uniquely different from all others, and every possible sound set the air alive with its resonant waves.
.
"I suddenly heard music most sweet."
.
Blended with them were the songs of choristers.
.
In those gardens I looked upon a multitude of people enjoying themselves happily, some singing, others playing, but every note, had the effect of a thousand different instruments playing together. At one and the same time, if you can imagine such a thing, one could hear all the notes of the chromatic scale, from the deepest to the highest, yet all in perfect harmony. Ah yes, we have nothing on earth to compare with that symphony.
.
▪︎Deepest Pleasure
One could tell from the expression of those happy faces that the singers not only took the deepest pleasure in singing, but also received vast joy in listening to the others. The more they sang, the more pressing became their desire to sing. The more they listened the more vibrant became their yearning to hear more…
.
As I listened enthralled to that heavenly choir I saw an endless multitude of boys approaching me. Many I recognized as having been at the Oratory and in our other schools, but by far the majority of them were total strangers to me. Their endless ranks drew closer, headed by Dominic Savio, who was followed immediately by Father Alasonatti, Father Chiali, Father Guilitto and many other clerics and priests, each leading a squad of boys…
.
▪︎A Most Radiant Joy
Once that host of boys got some eight or ten paces from me, they halted. There was a flash of light far brighter than before, the music stopped, and a hushed silence fell over all. A most radiant joy encompassed all the boys and sparkled in their eyes, their countenances aglow with happiness. They looked and smiled at me very pleasantly, as though to speak, but no one said a word.
.
Dominic Savio stepped forward a pace or two, standing so close to me that, had I stretched out my hand, I would surely have touched him. He too was silent and gazed upon me with a smile…
.
At last Dominic Savio spoke. “Why do you stand there silent, as though you were almost devitalized?” he asked. “Aren’t you the one who once feared nothing, holding your ground against slander, persecution, hostility, hardships and dangers of all sorts? Where is courage? Say something!”
.
▪︎Loving Warmth
I forced myself to reply in a stammer, “I do not know what to say. Are you Dominic Savio?”
.
“Yes I am. Don’t you know me anymore?”
.
“How come you are here?” I asked still bewildered.
.
Savio spoke affectionately. “I came to talk with you. We spoke together so often on earth! Do you not recall how much you loved me, or how many tokens of friendship you gave me and how kind you were to me? And did I not return the warmth of your love? How much trust I placed in you! So why are you tongue-tied? Why are you shaking? Come ask me a question or two!”
.
▪︎Abode of Happiness
Summoning my courage, I replied, “I am shaking because I don’t know where I am.”
.
“You are in the abode of happiness,” Savio answered, “where one experiences every joy, every delight.”
.
“Is this the reward of the just?”
.
“Not at all! Here we do not enjoy supernatural happiness but only a natural one, though greatly magnified.”
.
“Might I be allowed to see a little supernatural light?”
.
“No one can see it until he has come to see God as He is. The faintest ray of that light would instantly strike one dead, because the human senses are not sturdy enough to endure it.”
