Mary of the New Jerusalem:
‘The Mystery of Mary in the Divine Essence’
(Draft: Automatic Translation)
Here is the true Beatitude that is found in Mary. Here is the Feast we celebrate today, the Feast of the Wedding with Heaven, the Feast of Mary of the New Jerusalem.
There could be no better way to begin this Feast today than by experiencing a moment of profound emotion at the dawn of this day, seeing the Army of Mary, the young people of the New Jerusalem, coming down in great numbers, praying the Holy Rosary to ‘pierce’ the dawn and begin this day, this Feast, as they prostrated themselves before the Child Jesus and the Little Crib to honour Mary in her fullness.
Here, in this month, on this day, the centre of this month dedicated to Mary, Mary is praised in her fullness; Mary is exalted. Behold the Universal Co-Redemptrix (Pontifical Decree, “In Mary, with Mary and through Mary”, 22/12/2019). Behold She who saves: God saves, Mary saves.
Behold the living, unceasing and vibrant Feast; a Feast that makes our hearts beat with love for She who is Mother (Jn 19:26-27). Behold the young people devoted to Mary who live Her Holy Month, Her Holy Day. And She, with Her maternal Love, leads us and will lead us all to live the Day of the eternal Easter which gives true Peace to the whole world, in that grafting into the Most Sacred Heart of Him who is Life (Jn 15:4-5).
Here is the triumph of Peace and here is the triumph of Love, which passes through the Immaculate Heart of She who is Mother, She who was in the Father’s Mind before time began.
Great is the Mystery of Mary, which we are able to understand ever more fully, thanks also to the sacrifice of this Woman, Maria Giuseppina, She who embodied the virtues of the Most Holy Mary in their entirety.
Behold, the Father, thanks to Her example, helps us to understand the Mystery of predestination of which St Paul speaks. In a Revelation given to Her Heart, the Father says: “You have been in relationship with Me since I created you. But I conceived you before time began and I have known you from all eternity” (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “You Are Never Alone”, 28/10/1985). Thus, this Mystery of predestination helps us to understand the Mystery of Mary. St Paul tells us in this regard: “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who have been called according to His purpose. For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers; and those whom he predestined, he also called; those whom he called, he also justified; and those whom he justified, he also glorified” (Rom 8:28–30).
Behold, dear brothers and sisters, these words help us to understand the great Mystery of Mary, the Creature who, through the Word of God incarnate in her Heart, allowed herself to be regenerated by the Spirit who gives Life, who brings about a new birth into Life, pure Spirit. Mary, therefore, is the first Creature regenerated in the Holy Spirit.
Here is the union of humanity meeting Divinity to lose itself in Him who is eternal. Here, in the “Let it be done to me according to Your will”, Mary embraces Divinity; it is no longer Mary who lives, but the Holy Spirit who lives in her, having taken possession and made His home in her Heart, of her Heart. And by putting all this into practice, in Mary there is no longer the “I”, but there dwells solely and exclusively the Holy Spirit of God, that Spirit which was able to deify her. Behold Mary, the all-beautiful, the all-pure, the Exalted One.
And as the Father makes us understand, in another Revelation given to the Heart of Mary Giuseppina, behold, the Father says: “Behold, the IMMACULATE ONE, Pure and without blemish, dwells within US. In HER, the DIVINE MYSTERY is inscrutable and inaccessible.” (Revelation of God the Almighty Father to Maria G. Norcia, “The Immaculate dwells within Us”, 28/06/1983).
No one, with a human mind, can fathom or comprehend this Divine Mystery that is enclosed within Mary. No theologian will ever be able to penetrate this Mystery which belongs solely and exclusively to God because, unless one sheds one’s humanity to embrace and live the Divinity totally and fully, consisting in that which is Divine, one may understand the human, but not the Divine (1 Cor 2:14).
The Father says again: “In HER the DIVINE MYSTERY is inscrutable and inaccessible. Therefore, the TRINITARIAN MYSTERY is poured out upon HER: Divine POWER, WISDOM and LOVE. For, being a creature, she has shared in this MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION; therefore, par excellence, SHE is the Most Exalted One, in whom the whole DIVINITY dwells, being the MOTHER of the Only-Begotten SON and the Sovereign QUEEN of humanity” (Revelation of God the Almighty Father to Maria G. Norcia, “The Immaculate dwells within Us”, 28/06/1983).
Great is the Mystery, dear brothers and sisters, which must now be understood so that it may be embraced, by following the very same Path that She has walked, so that there may be no more “I” but, reborn from on High (Jn 3:3, 7), as pure Spirit, may the Spirit of God alone dwell in each of the children, so that everyone may become and grow in turn to be “a little Jesus” and “a little Mary” (2 Pet 1:4), on this Journey which will be fulfilled in Fullness the moment Eternity is embraced. But this is the Journey that Mary has mapped out for us and which each of us must now undertake.
The Father says again: “Now, the IMMACULATE ONE, too, in these last days, wishes to make her Son JESUS dwell in hearts and be loved there.” (Revelation of God the Almighty Father to Maria G. Norcia, “The Immaculate One dwells in Us”, 28/06/1983).
Here, once again, the Mediation is fulfilled: Mary, the Immaculate One, wishes to establish Jesus in hearts. She who received Him into her Heart now wishes for the Word to become flesh, and thus dwell in the hearts of her children (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “Mary, I consecrate myself to You”, 10/03/1986) so that, by dwelling in that heart, what took place in Her Heart may also take place in her children, so that the Most Holy Trinity may in turn pour itself into these hearts reborn and purified from on High, which is the Spirit.
“It is SHE who will prepare the events of these last days. Therefore, daughter, the KINGDOM of MARY and the KINGDOM of JESUS. MARY is the Leader of the Heavenly ARMIES and of those who follow her here on earth. The MYSTERY is Divine and human; but I want the whole Divine MYSTERY to consist in your humanity” (Revelation of God the Almighty Father to Maria G. Norcia, “The Immaculate dwells in Us”, 28/06/1983). Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, in order to become divine, man must ensure that the Divine Essence may dwell in his heart.
Mary: the first Creature who allowed herself to be divinised, reborn from on High, where all believers in Christ and those who will win the battle (1 Tim 6:12), remaining steadfast in the faith, will arrive, to become, I repeat once more, “many little Jesuses” and “many little Marys”.
Therefore: heart, soul and spirit in the Divine Substance.
Behold the Mystery that is revealed ever more fully so that everyone may take part in it.
Here are the “saved”, here are those who will fight the good fight (2 Tim 4:7) and remain victorious to keep the faith firm. Here are the “one hundred and forty-four thousand” (Rev 7:4) spoken of in the Revelation; a number that is not to be taken literally, but which must be understood in its spiritual meaning: Twelve by Twelve by a Thousand. “Twelve”: the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, those who sit on thrones to judge the nations (Mt 19:28); “Twelve”: the Stars that crown Mary’s head (Rev 12:1).
“One thousand”: that complete number leading to a Fulfilment, complete and finished, of all those who will unite to rise again and live for eternity.
It is written in the Book of Revelation: “Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him one hundred and forty-four thousand people who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. […] They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one could understand that song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand, the redeemed of the earth. These have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins; and they follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been redeemed from among mankind as firstfruits for God and for the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are without blemish” (Rev 14:1, 3–5).
Behold, dear brothers and sisters, those new heavens and that new earth of which it is spoken, for the former things have passed away (Rev 21:4). Only by embracing all that is Divine and all that is Heaven can one understand the Language of Heaven. “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more” (Rev 21:1). “Sea”: evil. “New heaven”, “new earth”: where evil is no more, for it has sunk into the depths. We speak of the new Passage that the Holy People of God, who remain faithful to Christ, will experience. “I also saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband” (Rev 21:2).
Behold, dear brothers and sisters: matter passes away; the Spirit remains. In Mary, the Holy City, the New Jerusalem (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Holy City”, 23/06/1996), we are already living in a new Dimension, where Heaven and Earth are fused into a single Essence, the Divine Essence, which will lead us to live on a new Earth, in a Consistence—and thus a Nature—that is Holy, pure and total.
The human eye cannot yet see this, nor can human reason yet comprehend it, for it is steeped in humanity; for what is immanent can be touched by hand, but what is transcendent, being beyond the reach of the hand, cannot be understood by those who, steeped in humanity, live this reality. But the moment one allows oneself to be clothed by that which is Spirit (Lk 24:49), one embraces Transcendence and leaves immanence behind in order to contemplate, even now, that which will always and forever be.
Thus, reborn in the pure Spirit that bestows eternal Life, we shall all become Nature, Divine Substance. And everything can be understood because everything will be lived. And this will be the new everyday reality for all the redeemed.
Behold, dear brothers and sisters, the final and eternal Resurrection, just as it is written once more in the Book of Revelation: “Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it. From his presence, the earth and the heavens had vanished without a trace. Then I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. Books were opened. Another book was opened too, the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to what was written in those books, each according to their deeds.
The sea gave up the dead it held, and death and Hades gave up the dead they held, and each was judged according to their deeds. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire” (Rev 20:11–15). But whoever is written and will be written in the Book of Life will live for eternity. This is the final Resurrection.
Blessed are those whose names are written in the great Book of Life (Lk 10:20): they will live with Him who is Life for eternity.
This, dear brothers and sisters, is true Bliss, the Bliss that this Maiden experienced and allows us to touch with our own hands, having given it to us.
Here, today, is our “thank you” to this Maiden for Her “yes”, on this Feast of the Marriage with Heaven.
Today, united with Her Heart, we all wish to renew our “yes” to the call we have received, so that together we may repeat: “Do with me as You please: Your will be done”. This means having set out on the path to becoming divine: doing the Will of God and not that of the “self”, so that it may be God, the Holy Spirit, who guides our steps. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Gal 2:20).
This, dear brothers and sisters, is what we too are now called to do, following the example of Mary Giuseppina, so that we may already experience those new heavens and that new earth which will be lived in their fullness. This is our filial and sincere devotion to Mary.
One cannot express oneself “filially and sincerely” by turning to those who no longer embody the Spirit of Christ, but embody a spirit contrary to Christ (1 John 4:2-3). This is what many must understand if they wish to remain in true Communion with the authentic Catholic and Universal Faith. Here is our filial and sincere “yes” to Mary, to her Immaculate Heart, so that we may remain in true Communion with Him who is.
Here is the “yes” that rises from this House today, so that all, upon hearing it, may understand where God dwells (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Dwelling Established by Jesus”, 9 March 1997), where His Spirit has descended to gather the Holy People, the Small Remnant of Israel who have remained faithful (Is 10:20–22), so that together we may proclaim: “Glory to the Father and praise to Mary”. And so be it.
