God has revealed his
word to his prophets throughout the ages, his testimony is great and is
officially recorded in the Holy Scriptures. In the New Testament God
revealed himself through the incarnation of the Word in the person of
Jesus. His good news are recorded in the gospels. After dying for our
sins, Jesus ascended into Heaven and sent the Holy Spirit to speak in
our hearts.
It is only by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that
anyone can call Jesus Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit has guided the
Church of Christ up until this very moment and will continue to do so
until the end of times.
From time to time the Lord has spoken to little
prophets and to humble souls messages that touch hearts and lead to
conversion. The work of God is clearly shown in these messages which
have been given with the purpose of teaching souls to accept the great
gift of being children of God.
These messages are a spiritual formation that will
mold any soul and will guide it to a complete and intimate relationship with
God. They are being shared so that they can help the reader in his or
her salvation and to assist others to come to God.
Anyone reading these pages will be transformed by the
Grace of God, because the words of God are words of eternal life. These
messages were given to a Catholic person, but they are recorded
for anyone from any religion, since we are all children of the same
Father in Heaven.

The
Holy Gospels explained by Jesus
After receiving daily messages from Jesus
for several years, I decided to proclaim the Word of God making use of
the Internet. The website The Work of God
www.theworkofgod.org was
created in 1998. Some of those messages were published on the website
and recently became available in ebook format at
www.theworkofgod.org/messages
I always
wanted to write something about the gospels, but I was afraid of the
work involved, I was planning to follow the Holy Mother Church in the 3
liturgical years which cover the gospels of St. Matthew, St. John, St.
Luke and St. Mark.
The spirit
of the Lord moved me to start this work on the third Sunday of Easter
April 2005. Nothing to do with messages, I simply needed to preach the
Word of God, it was only an inspiration at first.
The first gospel was Luke 24:13-35. By a strange coincidence, this
gospel explains how the disciples of Emmaus were listening to Jesus on
the Road as he explained the Holy Scriptures, they didn't know that He
was Jesus, but at the end they confessed how their hearts burned as they
listened. It was at the end that they
recognized him in the breaking of the bread.
As I
checked the following gospel and sat down to create a homily, my heart
was burning with the presence of Jesus, I could not write the homily as
I expected, it was Jesus dictating me what to write, as a result I
finished the message and from then on, all gospel inspirations were
coming from Jesus in the same way I receive other messages.
The final
result is a compilation of the last 3 liturgical years of the Holy
Mother Church. It is my joy to make this work available. With the
permission of the Lord, I have converted it into an ebook to continue to
finance the presence of the Work of God Apostolate on the Internet and
to try to make the messages books available in hard copy.
The Holy
Gospels
messages may be studied according to the general index. You may also follow
the liturgical years of the Catholic Church, Year A, Year B and Year C.
Note: Each Liturgical
year starts the First Sunday of Advent, the last Sunday of November.
Yours in
Christ
