ACT OF MAGISTERIUM
Jesus, Man and God
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is true Man and true God. This is how he revealed himself then, with his first friends, the Apostles (Jn 1,14), this is how he reveals himself now and this is how he will always reveal himself: Man God.
At that time, the Apostles had the possibility to know and love the Master as a true Man and true Son of God, learning to love Him, to live Him, so that they could in turn be messengers of the Son of God, of the only Word that would lead everyone towards eternal Salvation (Eph 1,13), even if at that moment the meaning of Salvation was not fully understood.
At that time, Jesus experienced His Friends to the full. He had called them one by one, uprooting them from their roots and moulding them, day after day, so that He could be understood and experienced, so that they could understand His Language and know His Thought, entrusting each of them to the Holy Father every day (Jn 17, 6-9).
‘My Lord and my God,’ said Thomas the Apostle (Jn 20, 28). And he was right, because Jesus is Lord and God. However, Christ is also Friend and Brother. Having taken on Human Nature, He was able to understand man so that man too could then, and can now, understand God more and more (Phil 2, 6-8).
This is the union between humanity and divinity. This is the manifestation of the glorified Jesus (Matthew 17,2) on Mount Tabor to Peter, James and John, to make himself understood and loved; and to lead their hearts as well to be able to live and aspire to that final dimension that would welcome them. The Master made Them a promise: that they would return with Him, when everything was about to come to an end, to join those who, at that time – this time – would be called to live the fulfilment in the Place – this Place – prepared by the Lord (Jn 14, 2c-3).
Here is Their Presence, today, together with those who live in the New Jerusalem. Here is the union of the triumphant Church with the militant Church (Act of Magisterium, ‘One is the Message, One is the Mandate, One is the Mission on Which the militant and triumphant Church of Christ rests’, 27/02/2025). Here is God’s Word, that does not return to God without having borne fruit (Is 55,11). Here is where everything is fulfilled and will be fulfilled.
Here is the holy path of the sons called to make known the One who is Holy: Holy among the saints. Here is the way, more and more alive, that the sons lead so that many can convert again to the true Law of God, to the true Love of God, to be all in the Only-Begotten Spirit, who gives Life (Jn 6,63): that Salvation which had initially been misunderstood, which will now make full sense, because everything will return to Him who created everything.
Jesus has set up his Tent in the New Jerusalem (Rev 7,15). And in this Tent, together with the Lord, there are those first Friends, those who at that time would have liked to remain in that tent, in that place, on that mountain (Mt 17,4). But that was not the time. That was not the Place. Now, on this Mountain, in this Place (Jn 14, 2c), the time has come. Now. So that all might gathered inside this Tent, the only Tent that contains Life, eternal Life.
Behold the only Tent (Rev 15,5) that gives shelter and refreshment to the sons of God, support and substance, essence and holiness.
No other tent contains all this, because the other tents have been carried away by the fury of the wind (cf. Jer 10,20-21): a headwind, contrary to the Law of God, because others have driven the stakes of their tent through quicksand, through everything that is human, not using the mortar of God’s Love, nor the stakes of the Only Begotten Spirit, nor ropes that do not bind but unite, strong ropes, which are the will and the faith to remain obedient to the Law of the Holy Father (Acts 5,29).
Those who wished to fornicate with the world, those who wished to sell off what belonged to God, they have frayed the ropes, weakening the tent, no longer anchored to the Tree of Life (Rev 22,2), becoming reeds swayed by the wind, which has taken everything away.
Here is the Glory of God revealed to the first Apostles, the Glory that Jesus manifests here every day to the new Apostles: His Glory, our glory, the Glory of the Holy Father. This is what is experienced at the Little Cradle of Baby Jesus, the Lord’s Tent, the Tent of the only Covenant between God and His People (Jer 31,31; Ezk 36,26-27). In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
