Maria Valtorta (Itália, ano 1897-1961) - Obra: "Lições sobre a Carta de São Paulo aos Romanos" (1948-1950) The most divine Author
[The Holy Spirit] says,
[...] God says it to Moses, "I will have mercy… I will have compassion…." However, His mercy and compassion do not have their beginnings from that moment. Although they are united to divine justice, they already existed in Eden in the presence of the two prevaricators, condemned in time with work, sorrow, hardship, exile and death, but forgiven for all eternity with the promise of Redemption and through Redemption.
Even more: mercy and compassion have been in existence even before man lived, whose
future sin was not ignored by his Creator. And this, of having created man in order to give him Heaven and divine progeny and likeness, and having created him already knowing him destined through his own will to be a sinner, a rebel, a prevaricator, a thief, a murderer, violent, a liar, concupiscent, sacrilegious and idolatrous – all the evil human tendencies being present in him because of human condescension, in man who was to be holy – and of having, above all, created man knowing him capable of killing His Word once [Jesus Christ], who had assumed Humanity for man, and to wound Him countless times, as many as the grains of sand that constitute the depths of the seas, with his sins, from His redemptive coming at the end of time, gives the exact measure of the infinite mercy and compassion of God.
He watched His Word ab eterno, and His eternal Thought thought of all the things He would have created for His Word; in jubilation, He admired in His thought the innumerable beauties and wonders of the Creation which would have been made for the Word at the right moment. However, at the same time, the Father of lights saw that creative poem, all light and goodness, stain itself with a disfiguring and poisonous stain, origin of every sin and misfortune.
As one who pauses in admiration to contemplate a place of delights, all balms and flowers, pure waters and bird songs, and who then trembles in horror at seeing a poisonous and aggressive snake coming out that breaks, bites and kills plants and animals, and corrupts the waters and the flowers, so too, the Father of the Word and of man, contemplating ab eterno the future Creation in which everything would have been created "good", saw the snake attack, corrupt, and poison everything, and bring you sorrow; He saw the fallen man, He saw Cain the murderer of Abel, and the figure of another Cain (Israel) who would have killed the new Abel: His Word.
Knowing something similar, even the holiest of men would have, if not hated, at least felt indifference rising towards the ungrateful, needlessly benefitted one, disperser of the benefits received. Not God.
God knows everything. However, His mercy and compassion do not die nor weaken. Rather, they are born precisely out of this eternal knowledge, and ab eterno, They [the Divine Trinity] decree that since Man and men will be sinners and murderers of their eternal part and of their brothers, in order to make them again into the "living", "children" and "co-heirs", the Son needs to be sacrificed.
He will be the Son of Man, the faithful and most holy Adam, the Abel and the Lamb immolated by the deicidal Cains. And from the first Sin and from the second Sin – the one of Eden and the one of the Temple [refers to the Temple of Jerusalem, which condemned Jesus] – will come the Redemption.
And God will be compassionate and merciful with whomever He wishes. That is, with all those who, at their turn, will want to be, through good will, "children of God", having received Christ with love and having followed and practiced the commands and teachings of the divine Word.
God always draws good from everything.
He drew good from the Redemption, the measure of the divine Love which is infinite and most perfect, from the Sin of Adam.
[...]
You are sinners. All of you. Even the most good ones are imperfect. Jesus was innocent, holy, and perfect. And yet, the Father burdened him with the total load of the sins of men so that He could consummate it on Golgotha and He presented Him with the most bitter chalice, bitter with all the bitterness and all the repugnances: from the abandonment of His Father, the sorrow of His Mother, the betrayal of His friend and apostle
[Judas Iscariot], the cowardness of the other apostles, the denial of His Cephas [of Peter] to the ingratitude of the people. Not one man amongst all men has carried and will carry the load, nor will he drink the chalice that crushed and saddened Christ: the Innocent.
Know, therefore, how to imitate Him. In His perfect good will and in His most holy obedience in order to draw your good from everything which God permits to befall you for your own trial and for your own reward.»
