Covenant

God  
knocks at my door  
seeking a home for his son.

Rent is cheap, I say.

I don’t want to rent. I want to buy, says God.

I’m not sure I want to sell,  
but you might come in and look around.

I think I will, says God.

I might let you have a room or two.

I like it, says God. I’ll take the two. You might decide to give me more some day.  
I can wait, says God.

I’d like to give you more,  
but it’s a bit difficult. I need some space for me.

I know, says God, but I’ll wait. I like what I see.

Hm, maybe I can let you have another room.  
I really don’t need that much.

Thanks, says God, I’ll take it. I like what I see.

I’d like to give you the whole house  
but I’m not sure …

Think on it, says God. I wouldn’t put you out.  
Your house would be mine and my son would live in it.  
You’d have more space than you’d ever had before. 

I don’t understand at all.

I know, says God, but I can’t tell you about that.  
You’ll have to discover it for yourself.  
That can only happen if you let me have the whole house.

A bit risky, I say.

Yes, says God, but try me.

I’m not sure –  
I’ll let you know.

I can wait, says God, I like what I see.

WATCH A Miracle Seen By Millions – The Wounds of Jesus Appear On Believer youtu.be

The angel added: “Blessed be the person in the world who helps souls with prayers and good deeds and physical labor. God’s justice, which cannot lie, declares that souls must either be purged after death through the punishment of Purgatory or released ahead of time through the good works of friends.”

    After this many voices were heard from Purgatory, saying: “O, Lord Jesus Christ, just Judge, send Your love to those who have spiritual power in the world, and then we will be able to participate more than now in their chants, readings, and offerings.”

    Above the space from which their cries were heard there seemed to appear a house in which many voices were heard, saying: “May God reward those who send us help in our weakness!” 

It seemed that the rays of dawn appeared in this house, and beneath the rays a cloud appeared that had nothing of the light of dawn, and from it came a great voice saying: “O Lord God, through Your unfathomable power grant hundredfold wages to each of those in the world who with their good works raise us up to the light of Your divinity and the vision of Your face!”
