Maria Valtorta (Itália, ano 1897-1961) - Obra: "Notebooks 1943"Jesus says:
"I will go on speaking to you about grace, which gives the life of the spirit.
"When God created the first man, in addition to the life of matter, until then inanimate, He infused into him the life of the spirit as well.
He could not otherwise have said that He had made you in his image and likeness.
"
None of you can image how perfect the first creature was. Only We, in the eternal presente which is our eternity, can see the perfection of the regal work of our creative Intelligence. The seed of Adam, if Adam had been able to remain a king as We had made him, with power over all things and depending on God alone — the dependence of a most beloved son —
would have been a seed of perpetual perfection. But there was a defeated one who was watching to take revenge.
"You, Maria, who say that from your heart thoughts of forgiveness could not emerge spontaneously because your human nature leads you to the spirit of vengeance and only out of regard for Me are you able to forgive — have you ever considered that it was the spirit of revenge that ruined you, the children of Adam, and sent Me, the Son of God, to the cross?
"Lucifer — and He was the most beautiful of my beautiful creatures — from the abyss into which he had fallen, eternally ugly after the blasphemous revolt against his Creator, was thirsty for revenge. To the first sin of conceit he thus added an endless series of crimes, avenging himself for ages and ages. And the first act of vengeance was upon my creatures, Adam and Eve. On the perfection of my creation his poisoned tooth left the mark of its bestiality, communicating to you his very own lust for lasciviousness, vengeance, and haughtiness.
