THE VOICE OF TRUTH PART 664 EPISODE 2 - THE BEAUTITUDES THAT MUST BE FULFILLED

THE VOICE OF TRUTH PART 664 EPISODE 2 - THE BEAUTITUDES THAT MUST BE FULFILLED

• Dear Bishops, Priests, religious men and women , and all the viewers watching the program "The Voice of Truth".

Dear viewers, in the previous video, we listened to the first four Beatitudes.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”

We thank God for teaching us about the Beatitudes in detail so that we can live them more practically under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Today, God allows us to share the next Beatitudes. May the Holy Spirit continue to work on you, so that you may also find joy and happiness in listening to and living the Beatitudes to enjoy the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven.

And now, I would like to invite Father Phero to share with us about the fifth Beatitude: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”

FATHER PHERO'S SHARING

I respectfully greet the leaders in the Church as well as in society. And Father greets Tuan.

Today, I would like to share about the Beatitude that God has for you, and especially for me, the Beatitude that touches my life: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” This is the fifth Beatitude.

God is rich in mercy and is the very source of mercy. He always pours out His mercy on all creatures He has created. And He lets us know that those who want to receive God's mercy must also be merciful to their fellow human beings. As in the story of the debtor who knew how to ask for mercy from his master, but he himself did not know the friend who owed him. Or when we pray the Our Father, we ask: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."

God wants His children to be merciful like the Good Samaritan in the Gospel of St. Luke: A victim lies in the middle of the road, unable to help himself, half-dead. Meanwhile, the priests and scribes, going up to the temple for the Sabbath service, did not dare to help the sick man but avoided him. The Good Samaritan, not knowing what the Sabbath law was, but seeing a victim writhing on the road, stopped to care for him, cleaned his wounds, and took him to an inn. Because he had a business trip and could not stay long, he asked the innkeeper to take care of this patient and promised to pay all the expenses when he returned.

Dear viewers, Satan today is also disguised, disguised in worldly powers, and also in ecclesiastical powers too, so he is causing injury to many victims, to many innocent people who are writhing in life.

Therefore, this fifth Beatitude, "Blessed are those who have mercy on others, for they will be shown mercy by God," reminds each of us, clergy, religious, Christians, as well as non-Christians, to have compassion in the worldly sense, but mercy in the biblical sense.

So, how to be merciful to please God?

Our Catholic Church has the Fourteen Works of Mercy, which are very good and full of meaning. This prayer is divided into two parts. 4:11 The first seven works speak of corporal mercy, and the next seven are spiritual mercy. Please listen to this prayer again.

Charity has fourteen works, seven for the body:

• First: Feed the hungry.

• Second: Give drink to the thirsty.

• Third: Clothe the naked.

• Fourth: Visit the sick and imprisoned.

• Fifth: Shelter the homeless.

• Sixth: Ransom captives.

• Seventh: Bury the dead.

Charity has seven works for the soul:

• First: Counsel the doubtful.

• Second: Instruct the ignorant.

• Third: Comfort the sorrowful.

• Fourth: Admonish sinners.

• Fifth: Forgive offenses.

• Sixth: Bear wrongs patiently.

• Seventh: Pray for the living and the dead.

Indeed, by fulfilling these 14 works of charity, we can fully observe the law of love towards our neighbors as God requires. However, to achieve this, each of us must change our lives, abandoning selfishness and ambition, and dedicating ourselves to serving others both spiritually and materially, to free them from Satan's control and the entanglement of sin.

True compassion reflects genuine love through sharing and generosity, without seeking personal gain or being indifferent to the needs of others.

Compassionate individuals live with kindness and empathy, generously giving, supporting, and sharing. These actions will be judged by God, who will reward those who perform them and punish those who don't. God will compensate us based on our actions towards others during our lives, saying: "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.”

Today, God calls upon everyone alive on Earth, regardless of faith, to act compassionately. No one should claim exemption based on their religion. All are God's children in different circumstances. Upon death, when we meet God, our Creator, or Heaven, He will ask: "For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.”

Let us look to Jesus Christ's example. He came to Earth to show mercy to humanity. Witnessing human suffering and illness, He healed both body and soul. Seeing those afflicted by demons, crippled, or suffering in any way, He approached and touched them, even though Jewish law forbade touching lepers or the sick. Jesus did not hesitate; His touch healed and brought joy. He came to liberate the sick, the imprisoned, and the powerless, enabling them to live with dignity. Seeing the lost masses without a shepherd, without food or care, God provided them with bread and fish. In the desolate desert, they ate their fill, with leftovers remaining.

Today, God's call resonates, urging everyone, regardless of belief, and especially Christians, to show compassion to their fellow humans and be sensitive to the suffering of others. Do not be indifferent, but find ways to help. Bind and heal the wounds of the afflicted, following the example of the Good Samaritan, acting without fear of prohibition, laws, or the gossip of the community or crowd. God calls us to wisely choose the Kingdom of Heaven over flattery or the cries of the crowd demanding condemnation, as they did when they brought the sinner before Jesus.

We will all be held accountable before God's justice. Every last bit will be accounted for. The time we live on Earth, every second and minute, is borrowed, not ours. Every breath is borrowed, so let us use these moments for good deeds, honoring God and showing compassion to others.

Just as God showed mercy and forgave those who condemned and persecuted Him, without judgment, He now calls upon us to be understanding, loving, supportive, and generous, aligning our hearts with God's love. In the future, God will account for our acts of mercy. Especially, God calls upon religious leaders and community superiors to follow Christ's example, renouncing self-interest and the pursuit of power and prestige. Instead of spending time in front of media, use that time to visit and be sensitive to the needs of each member of your community.

Through the parable of the Prodigal Son, in principle, if he leaves, he suffers the consequences, but the Father always waits. And when the son returns, the father not only restores his full rights as before but also gives him more, fine clothes, the privileges of a son. And that is what the Lord advises pastors, those in authority, to think of those entrusted to them by the Lord, to find ways to bring the sheep back, not to hinder them in a holy life. Good authority, good rules, but they don't solve the problem. Just as when the Lord gave authority to the apostles: "Go and preach." The Lord gave them the power to cast out demons, but there were some demons they couldn't cast out. They came back and asked: "Master, there are some demons we cast out, we are very happy and joyful, but there are some demons that despise and look down on us. Why is that?" Jesus then taught them that to cast out this kind of demon, they must fast, sacrifice, pray, and practice self-denial.

When pastors live according to God's teachings, God's grace overflows upon them. As a result, their mercy will be experienced by the sheep, who will feel peace and security to follow the Lord.

May those in authority follow the example of Jesus , approaching those entrusted to them with empathy, not condemnation, but love and mercy for sinners, in order to lead their sheep out of Satan's grasp and back to a holy life pleasing to God.

In this era, God initiates a new work of the Holy Spirit, which we can also call the Work of Divine Mercy, because through this work, God manifests His love and mercy more clearly in sinners, in the sick, but when they perceive God's mercy, they become penitents and witnesses. And God has used these very sinners to collaborate in God's plan after periods of purification so that they are worthy instruments of God. As I presented to you in video 174, I am a patient, I am a sinner, and when I heard the news about God's Work in Bao Loc, I was also very skeptical because the religious authorities condemned it, and the majority followed suit, so why would I go there? But in my life, I must be responsible for myself and for others. Those rumors need to be investigated, just as Saint Philip said to Nathanael, "We have found the one whom the prophets spoke of," then Nathanael said, "What good is there in him?" Then Philip advised, "Come and see." And when Nathanael came, God read everything in his heart that he kept hidden, then he was startled and said, "Truly, he is a man of God."

When I arrived in Bao Loc, I met the family of Thuong and Quang, I saw a stark contrast to the public opinion, the advertisements, the condemnations of the religious authorities. Thuong and Quang are a wealthy, successful family, but why did they have to open their hearts and their crowded house to people from all directions, and even their personal belongings were used, any needs were met, to the point that their children felt annoyed because their family had no private life. Imagine, Thuong and Quang are not poor, but they have to eat together with children, sick people, and sometimes while eating, sick children relieve themselves in front of everyone during the meal. Without mercy, they would have sent everyone away. God has used, God has purified Thuong and Quang over many years so that they abandon external glory, abandon external rituals, and recognize in each patient the image of God to open up, to welcome them.

Out of love for others, Thuong and Quang's family sacrificed everything. And speaking of Thien Thuong, I see that she is not an ordinary person. Not an ordinary person because she spends a lot of time, one person calls, another person calls, staying up late, writing God's Word with one hand, scooping food with the other. She does not claim to be a prophet, does not claim to be an angel, no. She is a person who knows how to obey when God calls. Many times she tried to refuse, but God said the time has come for God to need her as an instrument for God's Work.

Because of their reverence for God and love for others, Thien Thuong, as well as the priests, the teachers, the nuns, and the brothers and sisters in the Army of Light, are willing to accept all disadvantages, being criticized by family, relatives, friends, and being chased away when they come to help the sick, also running away like the apostles of old. Why? Because they have mercy, because they have received God's mercy towards them, and they share that mercy in their apostolic commitment. For this reason, they constantly change their lives every day and are willing to step out of their small families so that God's love can spread everywhere.

Now we see that there are 664 videos and more to come, I know for sure that many people are still waiting to tell, to let you know that here, God's mercy covers and protects especially the sick, the disappointed, the lonely. And here there is no salary, no reward, here when God calls, they wake up, when the sick call, they are ready.

Now, in the era of the Holy Spirit, or the new era, God uses the Army of Light, those who are purified, those whom God calls, those who have run away but whom God pulls back. I like to use the term playfully, "run away, God chases, God grabs their neck, God pulls them back," saying they must work. And when they know how to obey through trials, now they are members of the Army of Light to go out and work, bringing God's grace to others. Whoever comes, they do not refuse, they open wide, they welcome, they also do not ask for money for food, or any money at all, but everyone has a friendly smile like a big family.

To conclude, I send this to all of you, near and far, high and low: before God, we are human beings, the image of God, please love and forgive, be patient with each other, please open the way and do not close the way for others to know where to find God, to receive merciful healing. And please rest assured, healing is God's right, not yours. Canon law must exist, but applying Canon law incorrectly is what is called, excuse me, "hitting yourself with your own stick." Jesus said the Sabbath is for saving people, not for people to be slaves to the Sabbath law. So I ask you, those in authority, to know how to apply canon law, to know your duties as shepherds, superiors, in the right sense. And I send this to you patients, be brave to find where you can be healed. When you and the hospital doctors are helpless. The doctors say, "We have no other way, so please take the patient home and prepare for the funeral," but how many people the hospital has returned to prepare for the funeral, they come to the House of God the Father, now they are warriors, witnesses of divine mercy. And to conclude, I also want to tell the truth, I am a patient, I should have died, but God saved me. At this moment, I realize I cannot say otherwise. Like the blind man healed by God in chapter 9 of the Gospel of John: this blind man lived in the community, people saw everything but he saw nothing, he did not know that he was very disadvantaged, but when Jesus came to heal his eyes, his eyes opened and saw many things that the community did not see, and especially he saw Jesus and he courageously declared, "You want to forbid, then forbid, I cannot deny a truth: Jesus healed me and no one can make me deny Jesus." Please come to the House of God the Father where three o'clock prayer always proclaims divine mercy, always calls to Mother Mary through the rosary. And there, God is favoring humanity in general and Vietnam in particular. Please open your hearts so that God's mercy may reign in your souls. Thank you for patiently listening to today's sharing. I bid farewell to you, Brother Tuan. May God bless everyone. I have finished speaking.

Thank you, Father Peter.

Dear everyone, God's mercy always looks upon sinful souls, those souls controlled by Satan, making their souls and bodies unclean. Today, God calls people to return to Him, to abandon sinful passions and worldly pleasures to have a pure and clean heart. For only those with a pure and clean heart can see God. That is the blessing that today Sister Thúy shares with us. I invite Sister Thúy.

Sr. Thúy: Dear Bishops, Priests, Religious Men and Women and all the audience following the Voice of Truth Channel. Greetings, Brother Jacobus Hoàng Anh Tuấn. Continuing the series of sharings on the Beatitudes, I would like to present to you the sixth Beatitude:

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." (Mt 5:8)

People always ask: "What is the purpose of human life?" Is it to be happy, but does eternal happiness exist in this world? Yes, it exists, but eternal happiness is only achieved when people return to God, meaning they see Him.

Once, the disciple Philip said to Jesus: "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied." Jesus answered: ""Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father." With this answer, Jesus wants to tell all humanity to look to Heaven where God the Father reigns, but to see God the Father, look at Jesus, He is God incarnate. He is the Most High, the Most Pure and Holy, so people should follow His example and walk the path He has walked. That is the path of the Beatitudes, and now, in the time of the Holy Spirit's activity, He has acted upon Nguyễn Chu Thiên Thương, upon those chosen to follow His Beatitudes more closely through the journey of God the Father's House.

First of all, what does purity and holiness mean according to the path of Jesus?

In the beginning, God created everything good, perfect, pure, holy, and beautiful in all the creatures He created. The angels, of course, are always beside God's throne, contemplating Him, praising Him day and night, Holy, Holy, Holy, the One worthy of being praised day and night without ceasing, the Holy One. Man walked daily with God in the Garden of Eden. But the pride and disobedience of the angel closest to God led to the fall of 1/3 of the angels, and humanity abused its freedom by choosing to follow Satan, and Satan schemed to lead humanity into the mire of sin until this day. The sin, the filth and wickedness of man have blinded him from seeing God and His glory. Man has gradually distanced himself from God through each era, according to the degree of arrogance, selfishness, pride, greed, lust, murder, theft, adultery, deception, hypocrisy... so that Satan has the opportunity to enjoy through the disgusting sins of mankind. God's word to Satan himself speaks to the Army of Light in this way, meaning that the sins of mankind make Satan strong. God said that in the beginning, the Serpent mentioned in the Book of Revelation had only 7 heads and 10 horns, but now it has multiplied and grown many other horns, eyes, and heads thanks to the sins of mankind.

Satan himself revealed: Every time a person sins like that, they disobey God and serve Satan, make Satan exalted, satisfied, worshipped, and increase his power.

Dear dignitaries and everyone, God is deeply saddened looking down at His children falling into Satan's traps, straying from His embrace. The sins committed by God's people are even more abhorrent than those of Sodom and Gomorrah. Consumed by various lusts and desires, people are caught in a whirlwind of hedonistic pursuits, drowning in a sea of lust that burns their souls day and night. They use the material wealth God has given them to destroy their bodies and souls in nightclubs, bars, pubs, with stimulants, various pleasures, entertainments, all kinds of lusts, leading to a series of consequences: abortion, murder, incest within families, moral upheaval, promiscuity between fathers and daughters, siblings, uncles and nieces/nephews, grandparents and grandchildren, mothers and children, spouse swapping, and grotesque sexual acts between men and men, women and women. The natural order is overturned, and the value of human beings, lovingly and tenderly created good and holy by God in the beginning, is nowhere to be seen.

Even the elite members, the bishops, priests, and religious men and women of God the Father, struggle greatly with the demons tempting them to abandon God. People see the dwindling numbers of religious men and women orders worldwide. Many famous monasteries in Europe, which once produced numerous saints for the Church, are now almost closed or used for tourism. Who is responsible for this if not the depraved lives of the religious themselves? They have lost their religious identity, straying from their roots and the spiritualities of their founders. Isn't this abandoning God to worship Satan? Many pastors of God the Father say, "We don't worship Satan, we don't worship any god other than God." But they forget one thing: When people sin against God the Father, betraying Him, they are worshipping Satan, worshipping idols. Even when they know it is a sin, a grave sin, but still deliberately commit it, then sin is compounded, and they become increasingly distant from God.

Because of God's infinite love, from the house of God the Father, He sends His prophets with an urgent command to humanity: Return to God for deliverance. Do not continue this life of chaotic, ignorant lust, allowing demons to ravage your bodies and burn your souls day and night. Everyone must understand that all acts of lust and related to lust mentioned above come from the demons of Satan, not as explained by today's society and science, because everything has gone beyond the natural order created by God in the beginning.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Through this blessing, God the Father calls people to be vigilant against Satan's temptations and their lulling effects. For Satan will try every way to cover ears, blind eyes, and veil the heart and mind, preventing us from hearing God's word and walking in His grace and light, hindering repentance and obedience to God the Father's holy will. Therefore, He calls upon people in today's world to live honestly in thought, word, and deed. Live uprightly, justly, holy, good, and morally before God the Father and others, always in close union with God, allowing the Holy Spirit to work and transform our hearts, protecting our souls and bodies from the passions and desires of sin, the world, and the flesh.

Truly blessed are those who are awake and wise, always guarding their senses, souls, and bodies, walking in grace, light, truth, gentleness, and humility of God. He will surely allow them to be with Him, to contemplate His bright and majestic face, as the Angels and saints are contemplating in the kingdom of God.

God especially calls those who live a consecrated life to Him to always keep their hearts pure and bright like the angels. To maintain a pure heart in this age, one must decisively renounce pleasures, power, fame, material possessions, money, and worldly authority. One must resolutely renounce these things to avoid occasions of sin, draw near to the holy face of God the Father, and contemplate His majestic and radiant face. This is also the reward for those who offer their souls and bodies entirely to God the Father in His work

Dear everyone, From the House of God the Father, God has clearly shown the miserable state of souls living in the aforementioned depravity. Upon leaving this world, they realize how abominable their sin is before God and how gravely they have offended Him. Therefore, hell will be the place for those who die while immersed in such filth, as their actions have consequences for many other souls.

Today, God sees people suffering greatly because of these sins and mistakes. He has mercy on them and does not want them to continue falling into Satan's traps. Therefore, He has chosen Chu Thien Thuong as the first person He has placed in the new era's work to write God's will. Chu Thien Thuong was once a sinner, but with repentance and a determination to turn away from sin and live a holy life in complete obedience to God, she was cleansed in both soul and body. When the time came, God sent an Archangel from heaven to merge with her, and now Angel Thien Thuong has become an instrument for Him to use. Through Thien Thuong, God has converted countless suffering and sinful souls back to Him, including me, a religious who lived for more than ten years in Holy Orders, yet not a day went by that I didn't make God sad because of my sins. I became arrogant when God gave me abilities that were slightly better than my sisters'. The danger was that I always considered myself virtuous and holy, looking down on and judging my siblings. I disguised myself with an outward appearance of purity and holiness, shunning the world, but inside, I was full of the filth of sinful desires that only God knew. I abused the very graces that God gave me - health, intelligence, ingenuity, and the kindness that my siblings showed me - to become arrogant, self-exalting, and contemptuous of them. Therefore, the more opportunities God gave me to study, gain knowledge, travel, and experience, the more I sinned. I wasted the time God gave me on frivolous online entertainment and late-night conversations with priests and other friends of the opposite gender, defiling my soul. Gradually, lust caused me to lose my identity. I no longer thought of myself as a religious of God. Because I no longer thought of myself as a religious of God, I didn't love God as I did at first, and I no longer had the same zeal for loving souls. Thus, I created opportunities for the demon of lust to envelop me, making me unable to see the light of God in my religious life, seeing only the darkness of boredom and fatigue. While I was crawling within the four ornate and deceptive walls of religious life, thanks be to God, He noticed me and drew me back to His work of sanctification. I was converted by people who also carried within themselves the wounds of sin, my brothers and sisters in the Army of Light of God the Father. God cleansed me, cutting away all the thorns of pride, ego, greed, anger, and delusion within me. Now, before the holy face of God and all humanity, I declare: My Lord, my God, Thank You for having mercy on me, for creating a pure heart within me, and for renewing my spirit so that I may be faithful. From now on, I am determined to turn away from sin, to obey, fear, and serve God and others until my last breath in this new work.

From the joy of being transformed by God's love, I yearn for all souls writhing in suffering due to sin, desiring holiness, longing to see God, and seeking purification, to come and witness the work of the Most High God, the Master of all things, who grants life and death, who perceives all hearts, who sees all darkness and obscurity within human souls, and from whom nothing is hidden. He is God the Father, rich in mercy.

He calls upon sinful souls immersed in desires and worldly pleasures to rise courageously and return with humble hearts, to seek God, to come to Him, and implore His mercy upon their souls and bodies; to cleanse their defiled and sinful souls; to repent and change their way of life, thoughts, and mindset, so they may live like angels and saints right here on Earth. Cast away all feelings of guilt and seek the angel of God to request His Word for guidance, for only God's Word can empower one to escape the mire of sin and return to God's mercy, to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven with Him in the future.

God does not want any soul to fall into hell. This is the earnest invitation of the Most High to humanity. He is still waiting, always waiting! But time is short, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near, as the hour has come for God's angels to be commanded to gather the wheat and separate the weeds, casting the weeds into the eternal, unquenchable fire of sulfur.

What is written in the Bible is always true, always real. The eternal Word of God has, is, and will come to pass, so humanity should repent and return to God, and cease testing Him.

This is the invitation that God extends to all humanity. Return to a holy life, pure and bright like the angels and saints, to enjoy happiness with them in the Kingdom of Heaven in the future. For as the Word of God says: "When people rise from the dead, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."

God calls upon all shepherds to look to the example of Jesus as a shining example for the flock in purity, purity in both body and soul. And purity in action means not doing evil and saying no to sin. Purity of soul means maintaining a pure and holy heart and living the fruits of the Spirit, which are charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, so that they may always be a shining example for God's children in this present age. For in this present age, it is the priests, the chosen ones of God, who have tarnished, obscured, and stained the mystical body of Christ, which is the Church, through their own impurity, through their impurity in words, actions, and deeds.

Therefore, once again, through this blessing, God calls upon His children, especially priests and religious, to seriously examine themselves to recognize what is covering them, a covering that prevents them from seeing the truth. Especially those in formation, educators in seminaries and religious orders, come and see the Work of God, listen to the call of God, come to God, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit through His prophets in this new era, so that He may reveal many mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, many actions of Satan that are disrupting and blinding you.

For example, recently, I've been following discussions on the websites of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Vietnam and the 2024 Vietnam Major Seminaries Conference regarding homosexuality in priestly formation. I've read exchanges among dignitaries revolving around questions like: "How to identify a seminarian with homosexual tendencies?", "What are the causes and mechanisms leading to homosexuality?", or "Can the homosexual tendencies of a seminarian be changed?". Many questions remain unanswered due to the limitations of current global research. However, I'd like to mention that in God the Father's work nearly two years ago, God revealed this to humanity and explained it clearly through true witnesses, that it was the Devil's doing. Please consider these witnesses as evidence of the devil's actions. Please visit the Voice of Truth channel, videos 507, 520, and many others, which will help answer the questions that dignitaries in the Church are wondering about.

Dear everyone, those are the things God wants me to share.

May God bless you all. Thank you, and see you again. Greetings to Mr. Tuan.

Dear everyone, when someone has a pure, clean soul, without envy, competition, jealousy, without comparisons or judgments, that person always becomes a factor of peace, helping families, congregations in religious orders, as well as in associations, to be united in love. That is the invitation that God is emphasizing today for the hierarchy in the Church, as well as in religious communities.

Now, I would like to invite Father Paul to share about the seventh beatitude: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."

 dear Bishops, Priests, Religious Men and Women , and all viewers watching the Voice of Truth Channel

I want to share the blessing God has given me: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God (Mt 5:9).

What is peace? Holy Father Francis explained during Vespers for the Feast of Our Lady of the Snows at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major on August 5, 2024, as follows: "True and lasting peace exists only when it begins from repentant hearts and with a spirit of forgiveness; forgiveness creates peace, because forgiveness is a very noble attitude of God; peace comes from the Cross of Christ, from the Blood that He received from Mary and poured out for the forgiveness of sins." He used human language to beg God the Father to forgive humanity: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Lk 23:34).

Humanity today is immersed in a world of darkness. This is the sin that Satan sowed in the human heart when the ancestors of humankind, Adam and Eve, committed the sin of disobeying God. The cruel consequences born from sin are: hatred, jealousy, division, murder, and chaotic wars from families, small communities, religions, ethnicities, spreading to nations worldwide. Humanity's ultimate pain is the constant insecurity caused by disease and death, threatening people every minute until they die. Today, God calls all His children to return to the beginning when He created heaven and earth, all things, including humankind. He granted peace, joyful living among creatures, without disputes, wars, divisions, jealousy, or hatred, but only peace, joy, and happiness to praise God.

God is merciful; He could not bear to let His creatures, made in His image, live in Satan's insecure darkness. He has continuously loved and cared for humanity. Throughout ages and generations, He has given humankind prophets to act as bridges between humanity and God, conveying His love, His peace, and the invitation for people to return to Him. Return to the nature He created, that of a gentle person. To help people rediscover their gentle nature and prepare their souls to worthily welcome the Prince of Peace, God sent Saint John the Baptist to pioneer the way for Him: "A voice of one calling in the wilderness, "A voice of one crying out in the desert: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The winding roads shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"

" (Lk 3:4-6).

And when the time came, God the Father gave humanity His only Son: "In times past, God spoke in partial and various ways to our ancestors through the prophets; in these last days, he spoke to us through a son

" (Heb 1:1-2). The Second Person of the Trinity is the gift of love that God gave to sinful humanity: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life" (Jn 3:16). The Second Person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ, came down to earth, suffered, and died, granting humanity salvation. Through His death and resurrection, He established an eternal bond of peace for humankind.

Beside this, He granted humanity a Mother, the Queen of Peace. Therefore, all who grieve and weep, those oppressed, imprisoned, living in anxiety and unease, run to the Virgin Mary to implore her, for she is the guiding star for those who yearn to return to God, to find the true peace He granted humanity from the beginning.

Today, God calls His children to listen to the conscience He inscribed in each person's heart upon their creation on this earth. Listen to the call to return to the right path, to the peace God granted from the beginning. As when Jesus Christ came to earth, from the manger He granted peace to humanity. He came to the shepherds with good news, demonstrating God's love for the humble, the simple souls:"Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." (Luke 2:14).

The elderly Simeon, a righteous and devout man awaiting the consolation of Israel, in joy and happiness, uttered a simple and fervent prayer while holding the Child Jesus: "Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel" (Luke 2:29-32).

When Jesus Christ began His preaching mission, His gestures, gaze, and words always brought peace and comfort to those troubled by illness and imprisoned by Satan in suffering and despair. Who wouldn't find peace upon hearing the loving invitation: "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves.

 (Matthew 11:28-29)

And Jesus Christ also encouraged and foretold that all who follow the right path, returning to love within God's embrace, will inevitably face divisions: between parents and children, spouses, and siblings. Like today, while working in the Holy Spirit's era. All those loved by God, cleansed of sin, and chosen for His work will inevitably face the way of the cross, which is condemnation, accusation, slander, and enduring all humiliation to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. That is the joy of being God's children.

As Jesus said to His disciples before ascending to Heaven: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Indeed, the peace God grants is not like the world's peace. For today, Satan's darkness is gradually covering the earth, sowing false peace found in fame, fortune, power, status, and pleasure. Indulging in worldly offerings is not the peace God intends for humanity. God calls all people to awaken, not to be deceived by Satan, but to sincerely and earnestly seek Him, imploring Him to reveal the path of true peace within their hearts. This is the transformation of life, repentance to return to the peace God grants, not the world's peace, for the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Build peace, and God will clothe you in new garments, making you His children.

Today is the era of the Holy Spirit, God's love continues through His chosen and purified children. He calls His children to lead in all virtues. Only those who practice and live according to God's teachings will have true peace, so that wherever His children's footsteps reach, they will bring the fruits of peace to humanity, which is suffering from sin and imprisoned by Satan's darkness. This is God's message to all mankind, as He continuously calls His children in the Army of Light, led by the Archangel Thien Thuong, Priests, and Religious Male and Female, to learn the virtues of the Virgin Mary, to learn obedience and perfectly fulfill God's will so that God may grant peace to those who seek Him and want to meet Him. Be doves of peace, continuously spreading God's love to humanity.

Blessed are those who always build peace by abandoning their ego. Living united, gentle, humble, and sacrificial.

From the House of God the Father, humanity witnesses firsthand that the Angel Thien Thuong and those who work for God in the Army of Light always maintain an atmosphere of gentleness, peace, meekness, and humility, always desiring to build a close union with God and others to achieve true peace.

True peace is only achieved when people practice the words taught by God the Father: sacrifice, fasting, prayer, renunciation of sin, and close union with God. This is the bond of harmony between humanity and God, and among people, bringing true peace and happiness to all mankind. Blessed are those who listen to and practice God's teachings!

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. God calls us to look at the example of Jesus Christ, the peacemaker. Sin separated humanity from God, and He built peace by bringing humanity back to God the Father, restoring the dignity of being God's children through His death on the cross. On the cross, He fulfilled His words: "When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself" (Jn 12:32).

As Satan's darkness gradually covers the world, sowing suffering and insecurity, God's children must be determined to live according to the teachings of St. Paul the Apostle to dispel Satan's darkness from this world, and make God's glory shine in peace between people, and between humanity and creation: "Among a crooked and perverse generation, shine like stars in the sky" (Phil 2:15).

Thank you for listening to my sharing. I conclude my sharing. Father, thank you, Tuan.

Thank you, Father Paul. Through your sharing, I feel I must be more determined to become an agent of peace. And I wish that everyone would realize how important peacebuilding is in today's world, so that each person strives more to build unity, starting within their own families, then going out into society and spreading throughout the world so that all nations and peoples can live in peaceful happiness because there are no more divisions, no more violent wars because everyone is a child of the same God the Father.

Now I would like to invite Father Dominic to share with us the eighth beatitude.

• Father Dominic's sharing

Dear Bishops, Priests, Religious Men and Women, and all the viewers watching the Voice of Truth Channel.

I would like to share the last beatitude. "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me.  Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven” (Mt 5, 11-12a)

This eighth beatitude is a consequence of the first seven beatitudes that we have heard shared, namely the beatitudes of poverty, meekness, mourning, righteousness, mercy, purity, and peace. This means that when we try to live the first seven beatitudes, we are confronting Satan. They will try to persecute us in every way, so that we no longer follow the Lord's teachings, and from there they capture our souls.

God calls all his children to live these Eight Beatitudes, for this is the path that leads to the Kingdom of Heaven. Like Jesus Christ, all those who live according to these Eight Beatitudes will be condemned, persecuted, excluded, insulted, and considered wrong by the world, living contrary to people in the present world. Jesus himself said: "If the world hates me, it will also hate you." "For the servant is not greater than his master, nor is the student greater than his teacher." But God tells his children that when those who live good things according to the beatitudes are insulted, persecuted, condemned, excluded, or killed, they should take that as happiness and peace, for that is sharing in the suffering with Jesus Christ, carrying the cross with Him up Calvary, suffering death with Him, and rising again with Him, and have absolute faith that the Kingdom of Heaven will be their reward in the future.

Today, God calls his children:

• Do not indulge in the temptations and desires of the world, the false peace of the world, but be brave and courageous to live according to the Eight Beatitudes, be brave and courageous to live according to the Word of God, even if you have to suffer, be insulted, persecuted, condemned, and excluded.

• Do not compromise with the temptations of Satan, they will tempt people by saying: do not follow God's work, then you will have peace, and will not be opposed by relatives or outsiders. That is Satan's plot to draw everyone away from suffering and persecution, which is the gift that God gives to those whom God chooses, so that they may share in the sufferings that He endured, so that later they may share with Him the glorious blessings in the Kingdom of Heaven.

As in the past, the apostles were persecuted and killed for living according to the Eight Beatitudes, following the example of Jesus. So today, God also wants His children to be wise and courageous to continue to follow the path that Jesus Christ has walked: the path through the cross to enter into glory. Be courageous and faithful in carrying out the Eight Beatitudes to have the strength to resist Satan's temptations of worldly passions, of hatred, jealousy, anger, envy, selfishness, competition, greed, anger, love, hate, desire... To resist these things, everyone will certainly suffer, but this suffering is only temporary, while the reward that God gives cannot be taken away by anyone, that is the eternal happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven in the future.

God the Father wants His children of light to be wise and vigilant, clinging to the eternal Word of God and the Real Word of God, to walk firmly in His work amidst a wicked and depraved generation, amidst a generation held captive by Satan in sin and the perversion of these licentious passions.

I pray for the grace of courage, for the grace of faithfulness, for the grace of fear and obedience to God's holy will, to walk the path of the Eight Beatitudes. These Eight Beatitudes will lead people to complete truth, will lead people to enjoy the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven in the future. But before entering into happiness in the Kingdom of Heaven, one must accept one thing: persecution, condemnation, and expulsion from the Church. But that expulsion, condemnation, and arrest are only temporary and will quickly pass; happiness in the Kingdom of Heaven is the ultimate goal and purpose to which God calls humanity.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

This is a blessing for all the children of light of God the Father who are being called by God the Father to enter into His work. At the same time, He also shows the difficult and treacherous path because it is being attacked by Satan. As Jesus Christ said long ago: “I have not come to bring peace, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” Through this, Jesus lets people know that those who walk the path of truth and righteousness are never accepted by the world, which is Satan. Therefore, to live on the path of truth and righteousness, people must always go against the current, must renounce everything that belongs to the world, renounce everything that belongs to sin and the passions of the flesh to live the truth, to live righteously, to live the truth that God the Father has placed in the human heart.

Remember the words of Jesus Christ long ago: “I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you…In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” That is the call that Jesus Christ still speaks to all His children who walk in the light, to have faith, to trust in God the Father, to trust in His power. Have faith to walk the path of truth and justice, walk firmly and courageously, do not fear any earthly power, do not fear persecution by the powerful, do not fear Satan's attacks, just trust and have faith in God the Father, for His power surpasses all earthly powers.

God the Father calls all those who are still living in falsehood, living in sin and passion, living in the enjoyment of the flesh and not yet living uprightly, truthfully, and righteously, to return to receive the grace that God the Father bestows, which is to be placed in His Work in the age of the Holy Spirit.

O you who walk in the light of God the Father, blessed are all people when they are persecuted because of righteousness, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to all people,,so do not worry, do not be afraid, do not be timid. Trust and walk firmly, live courageously in truth, bear witness to the truth courageously, bear witness to His Word courageously, and change your lives. That is what God the Father always calls everyone to do, to walk firmly in His work. Walking on the path of truth and righteousness will always lead to arrest and persecution, but that is a blessing for those who walk that path of truth. Only the path of truth and righteousness leads people to the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those persecuted, suffering, and humiliated by worldly powers who do not live in truth and righteousness. Therefore, do not worry or fear, but walk in peace and firmness. God the Father's power and providence will always protect those who walk in His light. Only Satan brings suffering and disrupts peace. God the Father, who is righteous and true, always protects everyone, and Satan's power will not prevail. Though outwardly you may experience sorrow and suffering, He will fill your souls with His true happiness and peace. Therefore, die to yourselves, die to your human nature, to live for truth and righteousness. Do not indulge in worldly temptations, do not bear false witness, do not live in falsehood, but live in truth so that God the Father, who is true, will protect and grant the Kingdom of Heaven to His children.

In reality, those who believe in God the Father's work are living this blessing. They face much opposition from many sides. At home, many are opposed, insulted, beaten, and driven away by their spouses. They cannot freely pray or work for God but must do so secretly. Outside the parish, they are denounced by the father, prevented from participating in the sacraments, and threatened with denial of burial in consecrated ground if they continue to follow the House of God the Father. Faced with these trials, these individuals continue forward with joy and peace, seeing it as a blessing rather than a curse. And because in these trials, they always have God's Word to guide them. Here are the words God wants to speak to those facing opposition while following His work: "Be steadfast and do not worry, for I have overcome the world, and no Satan can extinguish the truth, and the truth will be strengthened. I will strengthen your faith; you just have peace of mind to walk in my work, then I will ensure that you enjoy the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven. Continue to preach the Gospel everywhere, like the apostles of old, who believed in the afterlife and believed in my Son who came down to earth, suffered and died on the cross. The apostles boldly preached the Gospel across the five continents, wherever they went, people received the Gospel. But they also suffered martyrdom. There are many places, such as in Vietnam, where there are many martyrs, so that you may have more faith. Therefore, be bold to walk on My righteous path, for I am the way, the truth, and the life, whoever believes in me will have eternal life. Be brave and steadfast in defending the Faith, steadfast in living in the truth that Jesus taught. Though condemned, reviled, or humiliated, look to the example of Jesus Christ on the cross and courageously profess and live according to my teachings. I will welcome you to Heaven. That is your happiness."

Today, God also calls on priests, the shepherds, to be faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ and to guide the flock not to indulge in the flesh, not to indulge in desires and abandon the teachings of Jesus Christ, but to accept all challenges to maintain their faith in Jesus Christ. Look at the example of Jesus Christ, of the fathers, and of Mary herself, who steadfastly followed God's call and lived in obedience to God, when she courageously stood at the foot of the cross with her beloved child to unite in saving souls for God. So today, God also calls on pastors to set a shining example for the flock in maintaining faith and loyalty to God. Be decisive with sins, with the wrongs of society, do not condone bad things to bring benefits to yourself, but live honestly, righteously, and truthfully like Jesus Christ Himself, for He is the way, the truth, and the life.

Dear everyone, my sharing ends here. Thank you all for listening. 

• After the eighth beatitude,

Tuan: Thank you, Father Dominic, for sharing.

Dear everyone, if all people listened to and practiced these beatitudes, there would certainly be no more hatred, division, jealousy, or persecution. However, Satan never lets go of any soul. Therefore, all those who follow the way of Jesus Christ and live according to His beatitudes will never escape persecution, condemnation, humiliation, judgment, and rejection from the world. But those who are living in such persecution, remain confident and steadfastly endure, because of God's promise: The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are persecuted for living righteously.

And to conclude today's sharing, God also wants Father Paul to announce His word to all humanity about the current state of false prophets in the world today, that is, God's shepherds have not lived the beatitudes that God calls for, and so Satan will infiltrate their tongues and speak words that do not come from God. I invite Father Paul to share.

Father Paul shares about the current state of prophets today.

Dear everyone, on August 5th, on the occasion of the Liturgy of the Word in the Mass mentioning Hananiah, the false prophet in the time of the prophet Jeremiah, God let us know that the current state of shepherds today is the same. Because they have not lived what God has taught, Satan has used their tongues to speak words that are not in accordance with God's will and do not aim to glorify God's name. And God wants me to proclaim these words to all humanity.

God said that Hananiah was not sent to be a prophet to speak God's Word to all humanity, but Satan entered him and deceived him that these were the words God wanted to say to His people, and these were the words God wanted him to prophesy about the future generation of Israel - God's chosen people. And throughout history until now, if God's priests are not vigilant, do not live according to God's Ten Commandments, do not live according to the law of the Church, do not live according to the Eight Beatitudes, do not live according to the example of Jesus Christ, then Satan is ready to infiltrate their tongues to falsely speak God's Word.

God calls on everyone to be vigilant against false prophets who are shepherds who have disobeyed God's commands, disobeyed God's will, and walked in the path of sin without recognizing their sin, without recognizing Satan's temptation. If these shepherds do not repent and turn away from their sinful ways, they will continue to stray from God's loving embrace and continue to displease God the Father, like the prophet Hananiah. Because he did not live what God the Father taught, Satan was allowed to wreak havoc in his body. Satan will also enter the tongues of any shepherds who are not determined to live according to the Word of God the Father, that is, not fasting, praying, not sacrificing, not living a holy life, still passionate about money and material things, passionate about worldly glory and honor, passionate about praise, passionate about being served, passionate about alcohol, passionate about lust. These are the shepherds who do not live to please God and are not sent by God to speak His Word.

God the Father says: Famous and renowned shepherds throughout the world, who speak sweetly and endearingly, easily entering people's hearts, but lack gentleness and humility, do not abandon their passions, do not fast and pray, do not live a holy life, and do not avoid occasions of sin, do not think that they are the prophets sent by God to convey His Word to humanity, but those shepherds are also just false prophets like Hananiah. They only want to be honored, respected, known, and given badges and worldly glory by the world, forgetting that they must glorify God's name.

God desires those working in His work to be vigilant against Satan's temptations. Satan will use the tongues of false prophets to oppose God's true prophets. All prophets sent by God in this new era, like the prophet Jeremiah, will be brought before councils and condemned publicly by these false prophets.

But God also desires His true prophets to be courageous, trusting, and have absolute faith in Him, like the prophet Jeremiah. Do not fear unjust persecution. Look at how Jeremiah, after serving God faithfully, was shackled, plotted against, and thrown into a well. Today, God calls all His true prophets to be alert to the temptations and deceptions of these false prophets – Satan uses their words to divide true prophets from God's flock, seeking to pull them away in this new era. These are the Angel Thien Thuong, the priests, and the prophets chosen by God for His work. Faced with Satan's hold on many souls, God wants His true prophets to rise and courageously preach His Word to all humanity, calling everyone to repent, atone, sacrifice, pray, and abandon sin to return to Him.

God reveals that today, Satan is controlling and rampant within the Church and society. He is tempting Church leaders with material wealth, worldly glory, and lust. Therefore, God calls upon His pastors to return to Him, remembering their ordination when the bishop placed the Gospel in their hands, saying, "Receive the Gospel of Christ, of which you have become a preacher, and believe what you read, teach what you believe, and practice what you teach." If you have lost these things, now beat your breasts in repentance, bow your heads seeking God's forgiveness, reconcile with Him, and become a new person, wholly holy before God. Offer fasting and constant prayer to God and the Virgin Mary, asking God to have mercy on suffering humanity, lost in sin, controlled by Satan, and imprisoned by the freedom of lust, flesh, and material desires.

Look at the world today; many people suffer as slaves to Satan. To escape this slavery, the only way is to return to God, worship Him, and fear Him. Worship only God, the One and Only. Always praise and glorify God everywhere and at all times; fast and pray to Him constantly. Abandon the extravagant, frivolous, sinful life of lust, material wealth, and worldly glory, and yearn for a good and holy life, a peaceful and happy life in God's love. Yearn to return to God, yearn for God to visit you.

God has visited humanity in this new era by using the Angel Thien Thuong to write God the Father's Word, by allowing Satan to speak God the Father's Word, and by using various people to speak God the Father's Word to all humanity. In one way or another, God uses the Army of Light to gradually guide the fight against Satan's demons, to recognize Satan's schemes in each person, and to find ways to eliminate Satan from souls and bodies. Look back at the journey of those in the Army of Light to see how God leads step by step. And now, many souls have been freed from Satan's captivity through repentance, atonement, and God's visits during purification to correct bad habits, sins, and passions.

God calls upon the Angel Thien Thuong, His prophets, to bravely rise and call upon all humanity, especially God's shepherds, to cease living in their old ways and instead embrace the new self of Jesus Christ. Change your lives, and pray to God and the Virgin Mary, that He may have mercy on all humanity and free them from Satan's imprisonment.

Today, Satan infiltrates the mouths of famous priests who speak the Word of God but do not live by it. Count on your fingers how many priests in this world fast, pray, sacrifice, renounce lust, and renounce material passions, money, and glory. If a priest lives this way, their preaching will have the power to repel Satan and save souls. Otherwise, Satan will create a facade, where the words of these shepherds are superficial, lacking transformative power and unable to save souls from Satan's grasp.

Today, false prophets condemn true prophets in God the Father's House and forbid the flock from coming to God the Father's House, from fasting and praying, from watching the Voice of Truth, from exorcising and healing, and from proclaiming the active reign of the Holy Spirit. Those who disobey are excommunicated, denied confession and communion, denied the sacraments, and denied burial in holy ground upon death. These are the things Satan, disguised, instills in God's shepherds who do not live by His Word. Satan uses the tongues of these shepherds to forbid the simple, the small, the poor, the sick, the suffering, and the blind from visiting God the Father's House. Satan also uses their tongues to promise sweet rewards if they cease visiting the Father's house, even guaranteeing them the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven. This is the deception Satan has instilled in the tongues of those bishops and priests who do not live according to God's Word but only preach it superficially.

God desires His shepherds not to speak kind, sweet, and good words without living by them. God instructs them to be examples for their flock, first and foremost in a life of sacrifice, fasting, prayer, renouncing personal feelings, renouncing the greed for power and position, renouncing fame, renouncing bad habits, renouncing lust, gluttony, alcohol, tobacco, movies, the passion for ornamental plants and pets, and renouncing the passion for money and fame to live in poverty like Jesus Christ of old.

God wants His shepherds to humble themselves and seek out the lost sheep, binding their wounds and driving out the demons of Satan. Satan will submit to them when they live according to God's teachings. God calls upon His shepherds: sacrifice and wake up in the middle of the night to pray, begging God and Mary to save the flock held captive by Satan and imprisoned by sinful passions. Renounce greed, envy, and the desire for expensive material possessions, and use simple, modest things. If you care for yourselves, if you enrich yourselves, if you live luxuriously in wealthy villas, you will not please God the Father. Nor will you live according to the example of the Good Shepherd, the poor Jesus Christ. Thus, you will become hired shepherds, leaving the flock to be torn apart by wolves, allowing Satan to gradually steal the souls God entrusted to you. If you continue to live as hired shepherds in God's Church, you will regret it at the end of your lives. There is no time left, so now, while you are still alive on this earth, live in a way that is worthy of being God's true shepherds.

Thanks be to God. Thank you for listening 

• After Father Paul shared

Brother Tuan: Thank you, Father Paul. And we thank God for teaching us and giving us happiness in working in His work. For letting us live under the influence of His Holy Spirit, and for giving us the grace of transformation so that we can see that everything He giving us on this earth is happiness for us. 

JESUS I TRUST IN YOU
