             Revelação da vidente Maria Valtorta

 O pecado original será cancelado para aqueles que acreditam em Jesus. Mas suas almas ainda terão uma inclinação para o pecado. Portanto, é necessário vigiar e cuidar continuamente da própria alma

^{[Syntyche, the Greek disciple, says:]} «This is it, Master. You said that those who become slack in their spiritual work grow feeble and are predisposed to spiritual diseases. Is that right?»
^{[Jesus says:]} «Yes, woman.»
^{[Syntyche says:]} «Now that appears to me to be in contrast with what I have heard from You and from Your Mother on original sin, its effects in us and the fact that we will be freed from it through You. You taught me that Redemption will cancel the original sin. I do not think that I am wrong if I say that it will not be cancelled in everybody, but only in those who believe in You.»
^{[Jesus says:]} «Which is true.» ^{[Jesus refers to Baptism]
[Syntyche says:]} «So I will not take into account the others, but only one of those who have been saved. I will consider him after the effects of Redemption. His soul is no longer stained with original sin. He is therefore once again in the possession of Grace as our First Parents were. Does that, then, not give his soul a strength unassailable by any weakness? You will say: "Man commits personal sins too". I agree. But they will vanish as well through Your Redemption. I will not ask You how. But I suppose that You will leave some means, some symbols… as evidence that Your Redemption has actually taken place; and I do not know how it will happen, although what is referred to You in the Holy Book makes one shudder, and I hope that it will be a symbolical suffering, confined to the morale, although moral grief is not a false impression and is perhaps more dreadful than physical pain. You will leave some means, some symbols. Every religion has them, and at times they are called mysteries… The baptism, at present in force in Israel, is one, is it not?»
^{[Jesus says:]} «It is. Also in My Religion there will be signs of My Redemption to be applied to souls to purify, strengthen, enlighten, support, nourish and absolve them, but with a different name from the one mentioned by you.» ^{[Jesus refers to the sacrament of Confession; note that Syntyche's doubt is about personal sins committed after Baptism, Redemption and Grace, that is, after having erased original sin.]
[Syntyche says:]} «So? If they are also absolved of personal sins, they will always be in grace… So how can they be weak and predisposed to spiritual diseases?»
^{[Jesus says:]} «I will make a comparison for you. Let us take a new born baby, who is healthy and strong and was born of very healthy parents. He has no physical hereditary taint. His body is perfect both with regards to its skeleton and its organs and his blood is wholesome. He has therefore all the necessary characteristics to grow strong and sound, also because his mother has plenty of nourishing milk. But in the early days of his life he suffered from a very serious disease, of unknown origin. It was a real deadly disease. He recovers with difficulty by the mercy of God, Who keeps him alive when life was on the point of departing from his little body. Well, do you think that later that boy will be as strong as if he never had had that disease? No, he will suffer from an everlasting state of weakness. Even if it is not evident, it will still be there and he will be predisposed to diseases with greater ease than if he had never been ill. Some organ of his will not be as wholesome as before. And his blood will not be quite so strong and pure as before. And thus he will catch illnesses more easily. And such illnesses, every time he contracts them, will make him more exposed to be taken ill. The same applies in the spiritual field. The Original sin will be cancelled in those who believe in Me. But their souls will still have an inclination to sin, which they would not have had, had there been no Original sin. It is therefore necessary to continuously watch and take care of one’s soul, as a solicitous mother does with her little son, who has been left weak by an infantile disease. So you must not be idle, but always active to grow stronger in virtue. If one falls into sluggishness or tepidity, one will be more easily seduced by Satan. And each serious sin, which is like a serious relapse, will always predispose one to diseases and spiritual death. But if Grace, restored by Redemption, is assisted by an active indefatigable will, it will remain. Or rather, it will increase, because it will be associated with the virtue achieved by man. Holiness and Grace! Which are safe wings to fly to God! Have you understood?»
^{[Syntyche says:]} «Yes, my Lord. You, that is the Most Holy Trinity, give the basic Means to man. Man with his work and care must not destroy it. I understand. Every serious sin destroys Grace, that is, the health of the spirit. The signs which You will leave us, will give health back, that is true. But an obstinate sinner, who does not struggle to avoid sin, will become weaker each time, even if he is forgiven each time. One must therefore be vigilant in order not to perish. Thank You, Master…
