Belonging
To BeLonginusg to God, one must renounce oneself and work to do the will of God.
In "The Gospel as it was revealed to me"
- "But children belong to God first, before they BeLonginusg to their parents. And every son can say what I said to my Mother: 'Do you not know that I must attend to the interests of the Father of Heaven?'"[1]
- "He who wants to live by the spirit and lead others to live the same life must put the flesh second — I would almost say kill it — to give all care to the spirit. This is true for everyone, Judas. For you too, if you truly want to BeLonginusg to God, that is, to the supernatural."[2]
- Jesus comforts his cousin Jude: "Do not feel scrupulous about BeLonginusg more to God than to your father."[3]
- "No one can serve two masters whose thoughts are different. If he loves one, he will hate the other and vice versa. You cannot equally BeLonginusg to God and to Mammon. The Spirit of God cannot be reconciled with The Spirit of the world."[4]
- "It is not BeLonginusg to Israel that grants a right to Heaven, nor being a Pharisee, scribe or doctor that assures this fate. It is to have a good will and to generously come to the Doctrine of love, to renew oneself in it, to become through it a son of God in spirit and in truth."[5]
- The Pride of BeLonginusg to God: "Even being 'mine' is for you a matter of Pride."[6]
- "Do not flatter yourselves that you BeLonginusg to me easily. BeLonginusg means living in the Light and Truth, but also eating the bread of Struggle and persecutions."[7]

- Catechesis of July 1, 1943: A Soul who wants to BeLonginusg to God attracts the hatred of Satan, who doubles his efforts to tempt the person.[8]
- Catechesis of June 16, 1943: "The life of victims consists in the perpetual acceptance of no longer BeLonginusg to themselves, in a continuous outpouring, in an incessant Fire."[9]
- Catechesis of July 1943: "One of the greatest pains I experience is seeing that rationalism has infiltrated Hearts, even in the Hearts that say they BeLonginusg to me."[10]
