Gesù: May the light of my heavenly angels fall upon you.
Gregory: I am having a vision of three angels descending from heaven. One angel is carrying a weapon made of wood, another carries a weapon of metal and the last, a weapon of bone.
Gesù: Which one of these weapons would you choose to fight evil?
Gregory: Dear Lord, I would choose the rod made of bone.
Gesù: Why would you make such a choice?
Gregory: Because the weapon is made of the bone of man. By carrying such a weapon, I might feel within my grip the pain and suffering caused by evil and this would allow me to understand each man’s weakness in order to defeat the enemy.
Gesù: Why would you want to hold the bone of man?
Gregory: I love my brothers and sisters.
Gesù: How much more could you do to assist them?
My dear child, do not be sorry, for I am teaching you a lesson. And a lesson is meant to instruct one in the way of a new beginning. I cannot allow you the pride to live in sorrow for your past sins any longer. I must show you the way to live in the joy of my presence each day so that you may share my great joy with others.
The bone symbolizes your bone, your weakness. But the metal of the sword, which represents my word, can cut through any weakness with the strength of truth. The wood of the rod can splinter like a thorn and pierce your heart with the gift of humility.
Each angel carries a different weapon that is effective in fighting the enemies of good. You must allow Gabriel to assist you in becoming stronger each day so that you may spread my word. He carries all three weapons to protect you for you shall not be capable of protecting yourself from the scores of the enemy.
For the same reason that you chose to hold the bone of man as your weapon, you must also apply this answer to your own heart in loving yourself. Your heart has become hardened by sadness. But sadness should melt the petals of one’s heart and bring the true joy of humility and self-love by calling upon faith for assistance.
Gregory: Are you saying that I do not love myself fully because of past sins and sorrows? And by my doing so, do you feel I vainly seek your forgiveness without truly allowing myself the love and mercy of your heart to heal me?
Gesù: Yes, my child, your lesson has been learned. How much more could I love you? Yet, you resist my heart because you feel unworthy. Have mercy on yourself and in doing so, you shall be more merciful towards others. All good things come from the heart filled with the Spirit.
