Fire

From Wiki Maria Valtorta
"I have come to bring Fire to the earth, and what else can I desire but that it be kindled?"[1]

Vital Element, Fire illustrates, in the Catholic faith as well as in the work of Maria Valtorta, both the purifying Fire of Purgatory, the punitive Fire of Hell, but also the ardent Fire of Love of God.

In "The Gospel as it was revealed to me"

  • If the Fire of Hell is such that a single reflection emanated from a damned can burn wood and melt metals, what then of your Fire, O God, in whom all is infinite and perfect?[2]
  • My choice is not a fresh rest in a flowering grove. I have come to bring Fire to the earth, and what else can I desire but that it be kindled?[1]
  • Dead Sea: It was only the will of God that changed the order of the elements. Those of the sky clashed with those of the depths, they collided, they excited each other in an evil round, the lightning set fire to the bitumen that the open veins of the earth had spread in disorder, and the Fire on the earth, and the Fire of the sky burned, destroyed, gnawed stadium after stadium of a place that was formerly a paradise, turning it into the hell you see and where there can be no life.[3]
  • Do you want us to command the Fire of the heaven to come down and consume these sinners?[4]
