Re: Mathew 10:1–24

My little one, I have chosen you to bear fruit for the Kingdom of God on earth. The mission is not easy, for the ways of God are never the ways of the world. All who are chosen by God to fulfill His plan on earth are hated by some, rejected by others, ill-treated, persecuted, for I came upon the earth to set one against another, for the ways of God will never be accepted nor appreciated by those who live for the things of this world. You have been asked by God to bring Him victim souls. A victim soul must fix his eyes on Christ, must desire with all his being to become one with his Master, and must be willing to learn from Him and imitate Him. He must be willing to fight against all his disordered desires. This requires certain disciplines for my disciples:

1) “Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper”—that means detached from the riches of this world, trusting that God will provide.

2) “No bag for your journey,” which means that My disciples must allow My spirit to detach them from all disordered attachments. [My Lord, how do we know what is a disordered attachment?] Anything that weakens your desire for Me, distracts you from loving Me, takes your gaze from Me.

3) “Nor two tunics”—My disciples must live simply as I did, poor, never in excess.

4) “Nor sandals”—a life dedicated to sacrificial love, penance, renunciation.

5) “Nor a staff”—My disciples lean on Me; I become their support; I lead the way.

My disciples bear My yoke—the wood of the Cross—united to Me. I am their All. My disciples are the men and women consumed in love and desire for Me. They choose to live this way of life for love of Me and the consuming desire to be made perfect, which is to become Love. Only in this way will My disciples reflect the face and light of God in the world. These are my victim souls that possess the power of God on earth.
