THE VOICE OF TRUTH PART 745 - WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME

Dear Bishops, Priests, Religious men and women, and to all the viewers watching The Voice of Truth Channel.

Just as in the message at the beginning of Lent, God invited every Christian to renounce and sacrifice. Now, during this Holy Week—the focal point of Lent, the center of the Liturgical year, and the week that celebrates the most solemn mystery of the work of salvation. To prepare the hearts of God's children for Holy Week, God has allowed us, as those walking in the work of God the Father, to contemplate and enter into the Passion with Jesus Christ, along with our own persons and our own lives on this journey of following the Lord in this new work. God invites all Christians to enter Holy Week with a fervent spirit: to go up to Jerusalem with Jesus Christ, to enter the Garden of Gethsemane, to clothe ourselves in the sentiments of Jesus Christ, and to contemplate and taste His anguish and fear before the day of His death. Let us remain with Jesus, living with Him in the holy atmosphere of Holy Week to look back: how many times have we also faced loneliness, fear, and agony, and how many times have we looked up and said to God: “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” Is it that God has forsaken me, or have I forsaken God when I immerse myself in the passions of sin, and it is that very sin that kills my heart?

I invite you to join me in meditating on the Mystery of the Son of God entering into His Passion with these fervent words:

First word: “Now my soul is troubled! What shall I say? Father, save me from this hour, but it is for this very reason that I have come.”

Jesus Christ is true God and true man. As a true man, when facing the tortures He was about to endure, His soul was troubled, agitated, fearful, lonely, and surrounded by pain. He trembled to the point of sweating blood—a fear so extreme that no created human being could bear it! He cried out, “Father, save me from this hour,” but added, “it is for this very reason that I have come.” Indeed, He obeyed God the Father absolutely, with absolute faith and love: “not my will, but Yours be done.” (Lk 22:42)

Therefore, at this moment, God the Father wishes to tell His children that He understands all the extreme loneliness, injustice, and suffering of humanity. God the Father has tasted and empathized with humanity. Thus, God the Father does not want people to think they are walking the path of the cross alone, but to be aware that God is always with them. For this reason, God the Father invites humanity to be intimately united with Him. Especially during this Holy Week, God the Father invites us to remain in God to contemplate His pain and loneliness, to contemplate the tortures He endured to see that all the extreme suffering and loneliness of humanity are nothing compared to the suffering He had to endure. And because Jesus Christ Himself took on the weak human body, taking on all the pain and sorrow of humanity. He Himself bore all the infirmities and diseases of mankind, as Saint Matthew quoted from the Old Testament, or as affirmed in the letter of Saint Peter: “He Himself bore our sins in His body upon the cross.”

Calvary should have been my place of execution for the sins I have committed, but Jesus arrived in time and, as always, He soothed and strengthened my faith with the tender words, “It is I; do not be afraid.”

Do not be afraid: Remain in the love of God, and be silent in God to feel that He is always accompanying humanity on the path of the cross; He does not leave humanity alone in its loneliness. Therefore, obey Him absolutely; do not want God to follow your own will, but rather do the will of God the Father. For only God the Father truly knows the path that leads to eternal happiness for humanity and to fullness with Him.

Let humanity be silent, listen, be intimately united with God, and contemplate Him in the Garden of Gethsemane to see that all the extremes of human suffering are a blessing when accepted with trust and reliance: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted by God.” Remain in God to be comforted by God, remain in God to contemplate His love, remain in God to be nourished by His strength, remain in God to learn the lesson of absolute obedience to God, remain in God to have the strength to be faithful to God until the last breath, like Jesus Christ, the Son of God made man.

Second word: “Could you not keep watch with Me for one hour?”

Those are the words Jesus said to the disciples who went with Him into the Garden of Gethsemane, while He was in such pain that He sweated blood. He prayed fervently to God the Father and longed for His disciples to share in His pain, but they fell asleep, weighed down by the heaviness of the flesh. And now, in this work, God lets humanity know that this is the control of various types of demons: the demon of lethargy, the demon of lust, and the demon of slumber, etc.

Why could the disciples not keep watch with Jesus for one hour? Was it because they did not love Jesus with all their soul and all their mind? Was it because of the heaviness of the flesh and the limitations of the human mind, which calculates everything instead of trusting God, causing the disciples to become stressed and fall asleep? Or was it because of a passion for fame and power, where, seeing Jesus helpless before the hostile forces, they became discouraged and fell into a deep sleep? Here, God lets humanity know that the disciples slept because of the heaviness of the flesh. The weight of the flesh pressed down upon the human soul, and their minds became clouded; they could not empathize with the pain of God. Because humans cannot accept that God, the Lord of all creation, could suffer human pain and fear human fear. It is a great mystery that the human mind cannot comprehend. Only those whom God allows to understand will understand, and only those who are truly intimately united with God can feel it.

Now God the Father also asks every Christian: examine yourselves, are you like the apostles of old, also weary with fame, asleep in the passions of sin, and unable to keep watch with the Master?

Indeed, the time spent in intimate union with God is a time of grace. Why? Because God has revealed that ever since humans sinned by disobeying God to follow Satan, they have been given the power to run rampant over humanity. And in this modern age, when Satan has been released, they frantically seek every way to capture human souls; they crave every soul that God loves, and they are jealous of humanity for that very reason. Therefore, humans must be intimately united with God so that His light, grace, and love may be poured out in abundance, providing enough strength to confront Satan. Otherwise, humans will always be defeated by Satan. For Jesus Himself said to the three disciples when they could not keep watch with Him: “Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Lacking prayer is like a soul lacking breath. So how should one pray? God has set an example for us: He prayed all night, and He invited the apostles to keep watch with Him.

In this new era, God has been, is, and will be renewing the Church regarding the life of prayer, especially the night prayer hour. God has allowed me to share with everyone many times about this prayer hour. And today, once again, I would like to reiterate: It is a very important time when God comes to humanity: the moment the Word entered the world, the moment the Spirit of God began to push my hand to write the Real Word of God: “Greetings, my child, God the Father says to you... and it is also the moment Jesus conquered death and the underworld, the hour He rose again. And specifically today, God reveals that it is the hour He allows humanity to arrest Him and take Him to be judged according to human courts.

So, is it right or wrong for many people to say that those who recite the night prayer hour are crazy, wrong, or disobedient to the Church?

Dear religious superiors and everyone. Satan never sleeps, and neither do those chosen by God to win Satan back for Him. God needs them to sacrifice sleep and time so that He can grant more grace and more endurance to fight Satan. Truly, the purifications that God has allowed me to experience have all been battles fought through the night. And now, for me and my brothers and sisters in the Army of Light, day or night is no longer the issue; the issue is doing whatever God says, being intimately united with God, joyfully accepting everything in every circumstance, being awake to the demands of the flesh, and being conscious of being a sinner so as to always be vigilant, always examine oneself to recognize sin, and be determined to abandon sin, especially all kinds of passions.

God teaches very carefully that: to keep the flesh light, do not be addicted to eating, sleeping, indulgence, worrying about health, selfishness, greed, jealousy, lust, etc. All these things must be eliminated so that one can be awake to pray and be intimately united with God. Anyone who is still worried about their health, worried about not having enough to eat, worried about not eating enough nutrients, or not getting enough sleep will only have a heavy body. Therefore, long to be in His heart, remain there so that He can add strength, light, love, and grace for you to be vigilant against all the temptations of Satan in daily life, with the insults, humiliations, exclusions, and sufferings that the world, the devil, and the flesh bring.

God invites His children to always be vigilant in fighting against every temptation and to be intimately united with God the Father every second, in every word, deed, and all the duties He has entrusted and placed upon them. Only by casting off all sins, greed, anger, ignorance, selfishness, arrogance, pride, jealousy, and resentment can one remain vigilant and fight until the last breath.

The third word: “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

Dear listeners of The Voice of Truth Channel. The above Scripture passage recalls the act of betrayal by one of Jesus' own trusted disciples.

I do not know what theologians analyze regarding this story, about Judas and his death. However in the plan of the new era, God revealed that his soul was saved in this new era. Peter also denied the Master, the other disciples also left their clothes behind and fled, so why did only Judas suffer such a heavy punishment until this era? This was explained in The Voice of Truth video titled: EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE. I invite you to listen again. Judas realized his sin when he threw away the 30 pieces of silver, but he did not seek God's mercy; because of his pride, he took his own life, thinking that was the end. Judas was wrong. His betrayal of his Master at the very moment he sold Him deeply offended God, but his lack of trust in His Mercy caused God even greater sorrow. That is also the message God wants to send to humanity today as people increasingly distance themselves from the Love and Mercy of God. They know they are sinning but remain hardened in their sin; they know they are guilty but lack the strength to stand up and return to the Father, failing to see the longing with which the Father stands with open arms waiting for them every day, every hour.

These are people who have received many graces from God but have turned their backs on His work, allowing Satan to control them to return and attack God, attacking the prophets He has chosen. But God says: “It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

And God also sends a special message to those who are walking in His work in this new era but are still wavering, wanting both God and the world.

He warns: Whoever wants to follow God must renounce the world and crucify their fleshly nature on the cross of Jesus Christ; they must decisively break with sin to freely follow God. God needs His children to be whole in both soul and body, in both spirit and heart; do not be half-hearted, or Satan will be permitted to drag them into the eternal fire that never goes out.

Let everyone look silently at the cross of Jesus Christ to hear His cry: “I thirst!”. He is thirsting for souls, thirsting for every sinful heart to return to Him. His thirst increases day by day because He sees that humanity today is drowning in sin. Souls are distancing themselves from God, blinded by sin without realizing it. For this reason, God has established His new covenant in this era within this work, a covenant signed between God, the Angels, and humanity.

He uses all creatures, including those who were once disobedient, to work for Him, working day and night without rest just to bring souls back to Him by any means.

Ladies and Gentlemen, during the past holy days of Lent, God has allowed everyone to prepare themselves with the calls to sacrifice and renunciation that you heard in Truth Voice episode 733. And today, once again, God the Father invites His children to return to their true identity, to sacrifice and renounce in order to be with God the Father. In today's world, many souls are writhing in their thirst for the Word of God. Therefore, those who are chosen and called by God to go out and bring souls back to God the Father must first beat their own breasts, repent, and examine their consciences to return to God. Rend your hearts and not your garments; return to God the Father so that afterwards, your own return, guided by the light and the Spirit of God the Father, may enable you to go out and bring other souls back to God the Father. Bring the love of God the Father to the souls who are still thirsty; bring His Word to the souls who are still in need. Go out and bear witness to His love! That is the Word God invites us to from the House of God, taking His Word everywhere—not only the Eternal Word but also the Realistic Word. God is ready to answer all the questions that humanity earnestly begs of Him.

The fourth word: "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep instead for yourselves and for your children”

Those are the words of Jesus comforting the women of Jerusalem when they wept for Him and the sufferings He had to endure, but God kindly reminded them, just as He reminds people today.

God the Father wants His children to follow in the footsteps of Jesus up to Calvary, to suffer with Him, to endure pain with Him, to be beaten with Him, and to be humiliated with Him to atone for their own sins and those of their loved ones. It is not just out of love for the Lord, or love for God’s work that is being persecuted.

God does not reject the tears shed for Him, but He guides people to understand the mystery of redeeming Love. God died for humanity, so humanity must also cherish their own souls. Cherishing your soul means striving to avoid sin and living a holy life; therefore, in this Holy Week, let no one complain when suffering physical pain, but look at the state of your soul to resolve to change your life, resolve to love, resolve to sacrifice, and joyfully endure pain with God, happily allowing God to purify and prune you, to atone for your own sins, so that your soul may be bright, pure, and beautiful as it was when God first created it.

One thing I want to share further when talking about anxiety, weeping, and sadness while walking in God's work. Many brothers and sisters, when walking in this new work, also have attitudes similar to those of the women in Jesus' time: anxious and worried when God's work has still not been accepted. The Church remains silent or finds every way to exclude and extinguish it. God says: That is not pleasing to Him.

In all the times I have been invited by God to approach local authorities or diocesan bishops, He has always wanted me to be humble and loving, without being sad, uncomfortable, or having any negative gestures. Just pray and keep your heart empty. Because God says His work is still very long, it is unknown when it will end, and whom He reveals things to is His own special grace; whom He chooses and calls is also within His plan of grace. Neither humans nor angels can know, nor can they advise Him. On the other hand, God needs time to purify those He chooses to be sharp instruments for His use, and also so that those working for Him must learn the lesson of the suffering Servant, Jesus Christ, who never sinned but was still counted among the criminals. For if He allowed people to believe easily, His disciples would become arrogant, proud, and complacent, and they would perish just like the angels of old.

Therefore, God wants His children to trust completely in Him, the One who has absolute power over all. The One who speaks a word and everything comes to be—why does He allow persecutions and exclusions to happen? It is truly to purify the faith of those who follow Him. To see if they truly believe in God or if they only follow when there is peace and let go when there are storms.

For myself, after a long time working for God, I am convinced that this is God's work and God directs everything. I and those chosen by God into His vineyard are only instruments, and each person is used by God in a different way to collaborate in His work.

And each one of us must live out the things God teaches in order to work for God. Therefore, I never focus on when God's work will be clarified, but I only dare to pray to God to let me recognize my sins, to ask the Father to grant me the grace to be determined to avoid sin, to be determined to change my life, and to live out the things God the Father teaches so that I may work for God as well as possible. Often at night, I pray to God to let me honor God and love others, to give me a heart to love all, to forgive all, and to let me know how to be humble and lower myself before God and before my brothers and sisters.

Because this is God's work, God using me to work for Him is according to His holy will. That is something I myself do not understand, because God's thoughts are far beyond human thoughts, so we only know how to obey and follow what He teaches and serve with all our might in His work.

At first, when walking in God's work, I thought that I was following God and doing everything according to God’s will, so why was it getting harder and harder, why did the cross God gave feel so heavy that I could not carry it, and why did it feel like God had abandoned me? But later I realized that it was I who abandoned God, I abandoned God to be alone when I was still living according to the world, still living according to fleshly passions; I was not living according to God’s will, so I made God sad. It was I who abandoned God, not God who abandoned me, for He is always right beside me every second, every minute. The important thing is whether I follow God’s will or push God aside to follow the will of Satan, allowing Satan to freely reside and take control of the soul and body.

Reflecting on this idea, I invite you to join me in:

The fifth word: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mk 15:34)

This is the cry of Jesus before He breathed His last on the Cross according to the Gospel of Mark; it is a prophecy about Jesus and also His own words. Jesus used the very Psalm that the Jewish people had used to speak to God the Father.

In His human nature, Jesus Christ also felt moments of weakness; His cry to God the Father seemed to be one of despair, as if He felt abandoned by the Father. But in truth, that cry expressed Jesus Christ's absolute faith in the presence of God the Father. God the Father was still there, even though He remained silent. Now, God the Father also lets all His children, especially those who know of His work, know that when fulfilling all that He commands, one must also endure suffering, persecution, condemnation, insults, exclusion, death, and sadness or despair. For no one escapes the purification of God the Father!

It is for this reason that, during this Holy Week, God the Father calls upon His beloved children throughout the world, especially His shepherds and His religious men and women: do not leave God alone and lonely to go seeking pleasures and carnal passions, only to sink into sadness and despair.

God the Father wishes to teach all His children that if they wish to enjoy the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven and live in glory with God the Father in the Kingdom of Heaven, they must endure suffering, sadness, despair, and resignation. Jesus Christ Himself, when He came to earth, also had to endure suffering to learn what obedience was.

God the Father wants His children to look to the example of Jesus Christ's relationship with God the Father; even when facing suffering, exclusion, sadness, and loneliness, He remained loyal, faithful, and obedient to God the Father until His last breath. He conquered death, was granted the happiness of glory with God the Father, liberated many souls to return to God the Father, and, above all, saved humanity from eternal death. Those who know how to be loyal, faithful, and obedient to the holy will of God the Father until their last breath will be rewarded by Him with the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven.

During this Holy Week, God the Father invites all His children to look at the image of Jesus Christ hanging on the cross and ask themselves: For whom was He insulted, condemned, and put to death? Was it for one's own sins?

Let each person ask themselves, examine their own conscience, and answer to God, so as to recognize their own sins, truly repent before God the Father, and resolve to abandon sin, remain loyal and faithful to God, and obey God the Father in everything, from the greatest to the smallest tasks. Whatever God the Father says, do exactly that; do not go against His holy command.

Just as Jesus Christ always pleased God the Father in every place and at every moment, having preached the Word of God the Father to all people and completed the mission of salvation and liberating humanity from eternal death through His own sacrifice, death, and resurrection, He now invites all His children, as they enter into the work of God the Father, to sacrifice their own selves, to die to their own egos and their heavy, weak flesh, and to do everything according to the holy will of God the Father, absolutely not following their own will.

God wants everyone, especially those who walk in the work of God, to empty themselves. Just as the image of Jesus Christ lived for others, now each person must live for others to love them as themselves, by sacrificing their own selves and their own egos to bow down and serve their brothers and sisters as if serving God the Father Himself.

God the Father invites all His children, upon receiving the grace that He bestows, to strive to sacrifice day and night to work for God the Father by serving their brothers and sisters without fear of suffering, illness, or anything else. For those fears do not come from God but from the temptations of Satan. It is for this reason that God invites everyone to submit to God the Father as their King and to always recognize themselves as useless servants, full of weakness and humility, called by God the Father into His work to live out the commandment of love radically: to love God above all things and to love one's neighbor as oneself.

God the Father invites all of God's children to gather around Him, for only He can bring eternal life. Therefore, everyone must do everything according to the holy will of God the Father, orienting themselves toward God the Father and not toward any human being on earth.

During this Holy Week, God the Father wants His children to be more intimately close to Him, to examine their consciences, repent, recognize their sins, and resolve to abandon them, to return to God the Father and make peace with Him. Living in His love and grace, they will not be lonely or miserable because God the Father is the master of all things, and He will grant grace and strength to overcome difficulties, suffering, sadness, and despair.

This past Palm Sunday, we commemorated Jesus Christ's entry into Jerusalem in preparation for His suffering and how He was acclaimed. We also held palm branches and acclaimed Him. God the Father wants His children to live authentically with Him, not like the Jewish people of old, who acclaimed Him as King one day and shouted “crucify Him” the next.

Resolve to fear Him and live according to the words you have praised: Hosanna to the Son of David. Resolve to change your life, to die to your old self, to die to your ego, and to die to all your bad habits, vices, and passions. You must resolve to carry your cross daily and ascend Calvary with God. The cross that God bestows is suited to each person's strength, so do not complain that your cross is too big, too heavy, or too difficult; that does not please God the Father. Because God the Father created humanity, He knows the strength of each person and grants them that cross. Contemplate the love of Jesus Christ hanging on the cross. Be silent before God the Father, recognize His love, mercy, and power in your life, and know how to thank God the Father, fear Him, obey Him, and remain loyal to Him until your last breath, so that when God the Father calls you out of this world, you will be brought by the Angels and Saints to enjoy happiness with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven hereafter.

During the holy season of Lent, especially during Holy Week, we often sing the song: The Way the Lord Has Walked, and pray: “Lord, let me walk after You, let me carry with You the cross on the path of my life. Lord, let me be crucified with You, let me die with You, so that I may live with You in glory.”

But what is the reality? Let each person examine themselves: every time I suffer, do I know how to accept it joyfully, or do I still complain to God and blame others? Whenever I encounter trials and hardships, do I ask for God's grace to help, or do I look for a way to retreat, or try to withdraw to a safe place for myself without daring to speak up to bear witness to God the Father, without daring to glorify the power of God the Father?

We ask to carry the cross following God up to Calvary, to be crucified with our fleshly nature on God’s cross, and to die with Him. But each person is still worried about their health and their illnesses! God has answered the prayer: He has granted each person a cross to carry. But let each person examine their own conscience and answer to Him! Have you ever retreated when you saw that your cross was too heavy, and turned to look at others' crosses, only to become envious, judgmental, competitive, jealous, and resentful toward God? God lets us know that this attitude is a manifestation of disobedience to the holy will of God when one does not accept what God has placed and bestowed.

We all know that God the Father places each person in His own program and plan; He has bestowed upon each individual a cross and a different situation, because only He knows and determines how much each person can bear with their own cross. For this reason, let each person do well the mission that God the Father has bestowed, carry their cross well, and make the talents that God the Father has given bear fruit; do not look at this person or that person to compare, calculate, or weigh gains and losses, only to fail to fulfill the task of carrying your own cross. Because God lets us know that, sooner or later, everyone must finish their journey with the cross of their life if they wish to enjoy happiness with God the Father.

But how fortunate and happy are the people of today to know Jesus Christ and the work of salvation and the work of sanctification of God. Humanity does not carry the cross alone, but God has carried it before us; humanity only has to look and follow. He carried the Cross, died at the end of the road, and He rose again. That is the hope of humanity. Humanity is certain of one thing: to enter and enjoy happiness and glory with God the Father, one must carry the cross with Jesus Christ up to Calvary and die with Him.

The final word is the word Jesus Christ spoke: “Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit”; that is the conclusion of the mission that God bestowed upon Jesus Christ.

And today, God the Father also wants humanity to look upon the cross of Jesus Christ to see that: there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for those one loves. Therefore, let each of us place our full trust and absolute surrender of our lives to God the Father, so that He may have full authority over our lives. Continue to live in peace, simplicity, and joy in all circumstances. Because God the Father has ordained everything in the life of each person, He wants everyone to trust in Him in this same way; continue to joyfully carry your cross, live in the present moment within His love, and trust in the Almighty God who loves humanity and leads them to eternal life with Him. So, do not worry about yourself, do not be anxious, do not overthink, do not be discouraged, do not be sad, do not give up, and do not let go! Simply remain at peace and entrust yourself to God the Father, and the source of happiness will overflow upon each of you.

To conclude, I would like to read the words of God the Father to the Army of Light. This is also an invitation to all those who are longing to change their lives to become holier each day:

“I love you, my children; I love you to the point of giving up my last drop of blood. I love you, and I have set an example for you in all things. With arms stretched out on the cross, I still pleaded: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing! I love you, and my love transcends your sins; my love for you surpasses all your weaknesses and faults. I am still calling you to work in my vineyard so that I may refine you and sanctify you to be one with me in my love and grace.

For this reason, I invite you to look upon the cross to live a love that gives, to live a love that offers, and to live a selfless love. You are the people whose hearts I have opened to know my work in this new era. You are the ones I have chosen and called to work for me in my vineyard, so look to my example to live as I have lived, to love as I have loved, and to forgive as I have forgiven. For I refine you, I shine a light for you to recognize your sins, to turn away from them, and to resolve to live better each day, so that each day you may become a living image of me in the heart of the world today.

You are the ones I cleanse every day, so that each day you may become conformed to my image, and I need you to radiate my love to this sinful world today—a world filled with hatred. Be love in the midst of that hateful world so that sinful souls, those souls being tormented by the devil, may know the way to return to me. Therefore, you are the ones leading the way in my work. You are the laborers in my vineyard; shine my love wherever you are present. For all those living around you are people I have sent so that through you, they may receive my grace and love. Obey my Word so that you may attain the reward of the Kingdom of Heaven that I have prepared for you in my kingdom.”

Thanks be to God. Thank you all for listening to my sharing. May God and Mother Mary grant you an abundance of love and peace. Goodbye, and I look forward to seeing you again.

The Real Word of God: “Greetings, my child. I want you to tell the world that I love everyone and I want everyone to be happy with me in heaven, and I want everyone to love one another as I have loved them." (The Real Word of God 14/04/2025)
