Maria Valtorta (Itália, ano 1897-1961) - Obra: "Notebooks 1945-1950" Jesus says:
[...]
"On September 2, 1944 I said, ‘These are mysteries which are too lofty for you to be able to understand them fully.’ The learned, above all, cannot comprehend them. The simple-hearted, instructed by Love and Wisdom alone, understand them better because they do not criticize them. For them, a supernatural word communicating peace is a true word and they welcome it with humility and gratitude. But I repeat: there are mysteries which cannot be comprehended if they are dissected on the basis of a human analytical method. Either one has great faith and inflamed charity — and then they become sufficiently clear — or one does not understand them. But I advise you at least to accept the lights I give you to make your science less incomplete. Always remember that even the most learned man remains too little and finite in comparison to the Infinite and the Wisdom of the Infinite. And I also advise you not to alter my words or deform their meaning so as to cause the spokesman affliction
[Jesus calls Maria Valtorta His Spokesperson]. It is not charitable to sadden one’s brothers and sisters and accuse the innocent.
You want to know how it could be said that souls pre-exist. Where did you find that word, which I did not say? In the bottom of your thought, not in my pages. Souls do not pre-exist. They are not objects piled up in warehouses to be carried off at the right time. God does not need stocks to have the material ready.
"In the dictation on August 24, 1944 I say to little John [Jesus calls Maria Valtorta little John, in allusion to the apostle John],
‘You have seen the continuous generation of souls by God.’ I used that term to give all of you a more intense sensation than ever that man is a son of God because the father is the one who begets and also to bring you to understand the beauty of the part in you that is like God. There is nothing in God which is not God. Your souls, then, in coming from God, are supernaturally divinized through both their Origin and Grace, which is infused into believers in the true God and Christ the Redeemer by Holy Baptism and conserved by fleeing from sin.
"If I was already illuminating the purpose by showing the principle, which is the heavenly life of possession of God, and did so while showing the principle — the creation of the soul by God, to become incarnate in flesh and be sanctified during existence so as to be a victor in Heaven — I ought to have been understood, for you are not fools, but learned, and are so concerned about this science of yours. Comprehend, then, with good will, the thought of your Lord, which is clear and comprehensible for all those willing to understand it. What about it? You would be like those who accused Me, in my mortal days, and still accuse Me because I say it is preferable to do violence to oneself by removing a sinning eye or hand or foot rather than conserve them while sinning? Do you not understand the metaphor, then? Are you unable to transfer a material comparison into the spiritual domain? Well then, if you are so limited, I shall make provision by replacing the term ‘generation’ with the other, ‘creation’ (Pre-Gospel, p. 13).
"I gave the spokesman the vision of the creation of souls.[May 25 and 31 in The Notebooks. 1944] Read the vision described by the spokesman (notebook s.t., p. 63, May 25, 1944). A vision which, as I state further on (notebook XY, pp. 794-796, May 31, 1944), was given in such fashion as to make the immaterial act of creation visible to the seer. In describing that vision, the spokesman uses the term ‘create’ (line 30, p. 63, notebook s.t.), just as he states, with truth and simplicity, that he ‘does not see, because he is in Paradise — an utterly precise conclusion by the seer — when original sin sullies souls.’ In Paradise, in fact, that cannot occur. From this you see that the spokesman is truthful. And he further declares that he ‘does not see the spirits who, when their time on earth is over, separate from the flesh and return to be judged.’ Maria says that she ‘comprehends how they are judged from the changes in Jesus’ expression’ (line 74 on the same page).
"
To return to the Origin, to present oneself before Jesus the Judge, does not mean to go to a given place or exactly to go to the foot of the eternal throne. These are formulas used to assist your thought. The soul that leaves the flesh which it animated finds itself immediately before the Divinity, who judges it, with no need to ascend and present itself at the threshold of the Blessed Kingdom. The catechism holds that God is in Heaven, on the earth, and everywhere. And the encounter thus takes place everywhere. The Divinity fills Creation with Itself. It is present, then, in every place in Creation. It is I who judge. But I am inseparable from the Father and the Holy Spirit, omnipresent in every place.
"
Judgment is swift, as creation was swift: less than a thousandth of your smallest unit of time.
But, as in the atom of the instant of creation the soul has time to glimpse the Most Holy Origin that creates it and take this memory with it so that it will be an instinctive religion and guide in the search for faith, hope, and charity, which, if you observe carefully, are, in a nebulous fashion, like unformed seeds, even in the most imperfect religions — faith in a divinity, hope in a reward given by this divinity, love for this divinity —
in the atom of the instant of the private judgment the spirit has time to comprehend what it has not wanted to comprehend in earthly life and has hated as an enemy or mocked or denied as a vain fable or served, perhaps, with lukewarmness which demands reparation and bear with it, to the place of expiation or to eternal damnation
[Purgatory or Hell], this memory, to prompt flames of love for Eternal Beauty or the torture of punishment, with rage over the Good that has been lost, regarding which the intelligent conscience will bring reproach for having wanted freely to lose it. For they will remember it, and as terrible, without being able to contemplate it, together with their sins.
"
The creation of the soul and the private judgment are two atoms of instants in which the souls of the children of men intellectually know God to the extent which is proper and sufficient to give them an instrument to tend towards their Good, barely glimpsed, but remaining impressed upon their substance, which, as intelligent, free, simple, and spiritual, has immediate comprehension, free will, simple desires, and movement or inclination or appetite, if you prefer, to reunite itself with love to Him from whom it came and reach its end, whose beauty it has already intuited, or separate from it with perfect hatred, reaching him who is their damned king, and possessing in the memory ‘of hatred’ a torment, the greatest of the infernal torments, an indescribable despair and malediction (remember the dictation on January 15, 1944[295]).
[...]
"
The continuous creation of souls by the Father does not mean ‘pre-existence,’ as you say, stating that I said so. And the souls’ remembering does not mean ‘pre-existence.’ But it cannot be denied, either, that, though the instant of creation is extremely rapid, the soul, an intelligent spiritual substance, created by the Most Perfect One, can be formed with awareness of its origin. Mustn’t God the Creator — who has given relative reason to lower creatures and extremely vast reason to human creatures and very swift, as well as vast, intelligence to angelic creatures — have given immediate, vast intelligence to the created soul? Isn’t it created by Him, like angels, men, and animals? Can it alone, then — this flame begotten by Fire — be darkness or ice? Can it alone be so slow, stupid, blind, deaf, forgetful, and brutish as not to possess even the rudimentary motions of instinct spurring animals to choose foods and elements and climates which are favorable for them to live and procreate? Inferior even to vegetables, that sense there is life in the sun and that, even when planted in a dark place, lean towards a hole through which light is descending and come out into the open air through it in order to live? O men! And just to deny, so as to bring pain to my spokesman, can you go so far as to call the soul inferior to plants?
