Maria Valtorta (Itália, ano 1897-1961) - Obra: "Notebooks 1945-1950"Jesus smiles because He sees I have understood his question and explains:
[...] "
I told you at the beginning of this work and in the middle of this tragic war and I repeat, ‘This is one of the wars paving the way for the times of the Antichrist.’
[Jesus refers to the Second World War, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, in which Italy, Maria Valtorta's country, actively participated.] Then the era of the living spirit will come. Blessed are those who prepare to receive that age. "Do not say, ‘We won’t be here.’ You won’t, not all of you will be here. But it is foolishness and a lack of charity to think only of oneself. Atheistic children are born of atheistic fathers. Lifeless children, of lifeless fathers. And they, your children and the children of your children, will greatly need spiritual strength for that hour! At heart the law of human love is to provide for the good of one’s children and grandchildren.
Do not be inferior, as regards what is spiritual, to what you are in regard to the things of this world, and as you give wealth to your children or endeavor to provide it so their days will be happier than yours, work to give them an inheritance of spiritual strength that they can develop and multiply in order to have an abundance when the hailstorm of the world’s and Lucifer’s last battles scourges Humanity so fiercely that it will wonder whether Hell is not better. "Hell! Mankind will experience it. Afterwards, for those faithful to the spirit, Paradise shall come, the earth which is not earth shall come: the Kingdom of Heaven."
