             Revelação da vidente Maria Valtorta

 Alguns homens santos, assim como Jesus, possuem o dom de conhecer o estado dos corações dos homens

^{[The apostle John says:]} «We were talking among ourselves and we were uncertain about one thing. This: whether You know all the future or is part of it hidden from You. Some of us said one thing, some another.»
^{[Jesus says:]} «And what did you say?»
^{[John says:]} «I said that the best thing was to ask You.»
^{[Jesus says:]} «And so You came. You did the right thing. This gives you and Me the opportunity to enjoy a moment of love… Only so rarely now we can have some peace!…»
^{[John says:]} «It’s true! How beautiful the early days were!…»
^{[Jesus says:]} «Yes. For the men, which we are, they were more beautiful. But for the spirit which is in us, these days are better. Because the word of God is better known and because we suffer more. The more one suffers, the more one redeems, John… So, although we remember the happy days, we must be more fond of these ones that grieve us, and through grief they give us souls.
527.6But I will answer your question. Listen. I know as God. And I know as Man. I know future events because I am with the Father since before time and I see beyond time. As a Man free from imperfections and limitations connected with the Sin and with sins, I have the gift of introspection of hearts. Such gift is not limited only to the Christ. But in different degrees it is in all those who, having achieved holiness, are so united to God that one can say that they do not act by themselves, but through the Perfection existing in them. So I can reply to you that as God I am aware of the future of centuries, and as a just man I know the state of hearts.»
John is pensive and silent.
Jesus leaves him alone for a moment, then says: «For instance now I see this thought in you: "Then my Master knows the state of Judas of Kerioth exactly!"»
^{[John says:]} «Oh! Master!»
^{[Jesus says:]} «Yes. I know. I know and I will continue to be his Master, and I would like you to continue to be his brothers.»
^{[John says:]} «Holy Master!… But do You really always know everything?
See, at times we say that it is not so, because You go to places where You find enemies. Before going, do You know that You will find them, and You go there to fight them with your love, to gain them to love, or… do you not know and do You see Your enemies only when they are in front of You and You read their hearts? Once You said to me – You were very depressed even then, and always for the same reason – You said that You were like one who cannot see…»
^{[Jesus says:]} «I experienced also that torture of man: to have to proceed without seeing, relying entirely on Providence. I must be acquainted with everything pertaining to man, with the exception of consumed sin. Not because of a protective barrier placed by my Father against the flesh, the world and the demon, but because of my will of man. I am like you. But I have a stronger will-power than you. So I am subject to temptation but I do not yield to them. And my merit lies in that, as it does for you.»
^{[John says:]}«You tempted!… It seems almost impossible to me…»
^{[Jesus says:]} «Because temptations do not affect you very much. You are pure, and you think that I, being purer than you, should not experience temptation. In fact the carnal one is so weak as compared with my chastity, that it is never perceived by my ego. It is as if a petal struck a solid piece of granite. It skims it… The very demon is tired of shooting that arrow at Me. But, John, do you not consider how many other temptations there are around Me?»
^{[John says:]} «Around You? You do not crave for riches or honours… So which are they?…»
^{[Jesus says:]} «And do you not take into consideration that I have a life, affections, and duties towards my Mother, and that such things tempt Me to avoid the danger? The Snake calls it "danger". But its true name is "Sacrifice". And do you not think that I have feelings, too? My moral ego is present in Me and suffers offences, derision, double-dealing. Oh! My John! Do you realise how loathsome falsehood and liars are to Me? Do you know how many times the demon tempts Me to react against these things that grieve Me, by relinquishing my meekness and becoming hard-hearted and intolerant? And lastly, do you not consider how many times he blows his breath burning with pride, and says: "Be proud of this or that. You are great. The world admires You. The elements are at your service!". The temptation to delight in being holy!
The most subtle one! How many lose the holiness already acquired, because of such pride! How did Satan corrupt Adam? By tempting his sensuality, his thought, his spirit. Am I not the Man Who must recreate man? The new mankind is to come from Me. And there is Satan trying the same means to destroy, and for good, the race of the children of God. 527.8Now go to your companions and repeat my words to them.
And do not wonder whether I know or do not know what Judas is doing. Consider that I love you. Is that thought not sufficient to fill a heart?» He kisses him and dismisses him.
