He cured many who suffered from diseases
Here you can see how I lived one of my busiest days of pilgrimage on this earth. I came to teach in the synagogues, in the streets, in the fields, in the homes and everywhere I could. My words always set the stage for my miracles.
Most of the healings that people received those days were due to their faith in me, the Son of God sent by the Heavenly Father to proclaim His message. They believed in my Word, the eternal Word with divine power, they acknowledged my supernatural gifts and were most fortunate to profit from my mercy. My main concern was not so much to heal the body, but to heal the mind and the soul from the perversions that hinder the spirit. You are all called to know, love and serve God, to adore Him in spirit and in truth. My teachings focused on the love that you must have for one another, because it is by being humble, merciful, kind and loving that you conquer my heart. Those who accepted the message to repent received the gift of the holy spirit, which began to prepare them for the hope of salvation that I have given to the world. During the three years of my ministry I was able to visit many towns, to heal many diseases and to cast out many devils. I revealed the will of my Father to everyone, so that you can learn from me and be saved. I taught humility by my own humility, I taught love by loving you so much until the point of becoming the sacrifice to expiate for your sins. My wisdom remains among you, my spirit is ever present calling and instructing everyone to turn away from evil and to come closer to God. I was a man of prayer. I want to ask you my little soul to spend as much time as you can in prayer. Try to stay away from so many distractions that surround you, don’t seek the entertainment that disturbs the soul and leads you to sin. It is in the silence of your soul that you experience my presence, it is when you pray and desire to be with me that I manifest myself more to you. The more you pray and desire to be with me, the more you will turn away from the world and come closer to me. My delight is to see you assimilating my teachings and becoming like me.
