The Door to Heaven – Extract No. 42

Latent Atheism
11-Oct-96 (Atlanta-Conyers)
The Lord
DH-42

My little one, what looks of love we exchanged today at the altar of our commitment. If your eyes did not see it, I know that your soul was able to perceive the number of angels that witnessed that encounter... Thank My children...

(Jesus is referring to the people who made our trip possible.)

Let us get on with our work… A society without love and without mercy has separated from Me, who is Love, before explicitly denying it.

Today, the most latent form of atheism is organized dialectical atheism, that sets the Christian faith in a God of love against an interpretation of history that has its own engine in hatred and struggle of classes, since it sees man - My favorite creature - within an economic life full of conflicts. Thus, it is an atheism lacking in love and mercy.

Near this organized, aggressive form of atheism there are many idols that keep man apart from his God: self-glorification - which leads them to their radical rejection of worshiping Me - arrogance, ambition for power, terrorism, reliance on abundant armaments, the threat of the humanity's total self-destruction, greed, the deification of consumerism.

But, apart from and on top of everything, atheism is hidden in the heart and lifestyle of many "Christians" - writes that in inverted commas - the progressive infection by practical atheism and again of theoretical atheism.

The destruction of these false idols, the overcoming of the various forms of atheism, are only possible by means of a living faith in the Love of the Father that was revealed in Me.

Man can only escape the dangers and build a dam against the waves of atheism by letting himself be touched in the most intimate center of his being by the message of Love and Grace, by responding to Me with all his heart to this infinite Love that I offer. At this moment, the Catholic faith demands in a particular way a momentous decision. I want a radical yes to the Kingdom of Love. Only those who have been conquered by My Love can be believable evangelizers and faithful witnesses to faith. Only a heart that burns with My Love turns any form of hidden atheism into ashes. Only that love can clear your sight to unmask disguises of incredulity. Only love finds the saving means that the world urgently needs.

Those who have been conquered by My Love should draw closer together in these times of momentous and heroic decision, to provide mutual support in the communal testimony of that faith, that bears fruit in love, in true justice.

My children, the decision that I desire and make possible is the decision for the Kingdom of Peace and Love, the decision in favor of the glorification of My Father, through faithful love. Those who reject My Love, fall into the kingdom of darkness, of lies, of hate and of enmity. Choose this Love without reservation. Look at My Heart and understand the injustice of a world that needs credible testimonies.

Let us pray together now: Father, wake them up from their sleep, from their lack of enthusiasm, indifference. Fill them with fervor and zeal. May they find the safest paths to give evidence of You and Me. I came to cure a sick world, but I am also the sign before which men, My brothers, must decide. I want to draw them to My Heart, Father, to fill their little hearts with My Love, so that they, in turn, can fill many hearts.

Thank you, little one, be at peace. Your Lord will reward you and then there will be no doubt that you are My envoy, the small channel that I chose to spread My anguished call over the world…

Prepare the field for the God of Love.
