hostie (iii)

Suddenly the Lady was gone.

And in place of her I saw a Host.

It was an incredibly large Host. Thus I could clearly see that it was a normal Host, one like those we see in church - a wafer. Then, in front of the Host, there appeared a large chalice. I saw that the chalice was of splendid gold. It toppled over, with the opening towards me.

From the chalice then, I saw thick streams of blood flowing forth. All of that blood fell upon the globe and streamed down from the earth. It was a very distressing sight, it made me feel quite sick, all the while streams and streams of blood.

This went on for quite a while. But suddenly, all of that was transformed, and everything became a brilliant, dazzling Holy Host. Such a brilliant light emanated from it that I covered my eyes with my hands. I could not look into it and feared to go blind. But inwardly I was forced to look at it.

The Holy Host seemed to be like white fire.

In its center there was a little opening or hollow - I cannot describe it any better.

Then all of a sudden, the Host seemed to burst open, and I saw a floating figure emerging from it. A Person, so mighty, so majestic - forgive me, I cannot convey the majesty and might which was emanating from this figure. It was too overwhelming!

-

I hardly dared to look.

When I did look at that mighty and majestic Figure, I felt within me very strongly: it is the Lord. I felt myself so terribly small, compared to that indescribable majesty. A kind of cloth was wrapped around His body - over His shoulders, and then slanting down around His body. His face was shining incredibly. His feet were placed one upon the other, as you sometimes see on a crucifix.

On His feet I saw a scar, from which beams of light were coming forth. His hands were a bit raised, one hand somewhat higher than the other. In His hands too, I saw some kind of scars. From them as well, great beams of light were coming forth.

-

I saw one Person.

But all the while I kept thinking: and yet there are two.

But when I looked, I saw only one. Still, it kept going through my head: and yet there are two. Then all at once, an indescribable light came from out of their midst, and in it I saw, coming forth from their midst – I cannot express it otherwise – a Dove going down to the globe as fast as an arrow.

Going ahead of that dove was an indescribable light, and behind it an enormous bunch of rays. That light was so immense that, once again, I couldn’t look into it, and had to cover my eyes with my hands. My eyes were hurting from it. Again however, I was forced to look.

-

What glory and what power were shining forth from it all.

That floating Figure, majestic, mighty, grand.

And then that light, with the now brightly illuminated world.

Then I heard:

“Whoever
eats and drinks Me
acquires eternal life
and receives the True Spirit.”
