Words of Jesus to Maria Valtorta, excerpted from Notebooks, April 9, 1944:
“The Father is weary, and to cause the human race to perish He will let the punishments of Hell be unleashed.”…..
“I would like to come a second time to die to save them from an even more atrocious death… but the Father does not allow this… He knows it would be useless… Oh, if only men were still able to turn to Me, who am salvation!”…
Reminding Maria of a Dictation from June 5, 1943: “You would like Me to appear and show Myself…But, even if I showed Myself, where is that residue of faith and respect in hearts which would make them bend with their faces to the ground to ask Me for forgiveness and mercy?”…
“I repeat what I have said a thousand times- the great sinners exist because the mass is all more or less guilty of the same sins as they are…”
"Nothing is impossible for Me as God, But it is the hour of the power of Darkness. And men have spontaneously wanted it. The kingdom of Evil is already established. Anything I were to do would be rendered null by man’s will. Any Good would be destroyed by Evil...
“I impotently witness all humanity’s race towards spiritual death. There is no gift, benefit, call, or punishment by Me that will serve to arrest this spontaneous shipwreck in Satan of mankind, redeemed by Me. Like an enraged bull, humanity is demolishing everything: reason, morality, and faith, and it is heading for a crash against what slays it. The profaning hand of man rises up for a new crime which does not deserve forgiveness. And the Father does not want to forgive. He lets you perish as you have wanted to.
“The only thing I can do and do- and I do it out of mercy on the saints, who, as rare as flowers in the desert, still pray; they pray, not making an avowal of custom and hypocrisy- is to hold back the wrath of My Father, who, weary of the crimes of a race for which my Blood has been shed to no avail, goes on wanting and wanting to apply Justice to you. And justice, since you are blameworthy, would mean tremendous punishments which my Mercy does not want to be added to those you cause yourselves by your own.
“Maria, I know I am wounding and demoralizing you. You had hoped for joy from my Easter. Roses after thorns. Smiles after tears. You are a victim. The thorns and tears remain even in the time of Easter, for it is necessary to stay on the cross for the sake of this perverse humanity…..”
