Course XLVII - Teaching 3: Image of the Divine Mother (December 12th, 1953)

What is the meaning of images adorning temples and sanctuaries? How can the Divine Mother be represented that way, so corporally material and with so many different attitudes? Whether with the innocent and pure face of a girl bearing in herself every dream to come true, whether as a mother holding a child, or as the Virgin at the foot of the cross of her Son whose face entirely reflects the sorrow of the world, the Divine Mother is ever there, Mother that in se is Cosmos, Universes, Planets, and finally man with his whole good and evil, and sorrow and bliss.
Divine Mother! She has assumed these forms to come nearer the world, and her loftier symbol is Mary, the Lunar Initiate, with a divine mission to carry out. What do we understand by Most Holy Virgin, Mother of Christ? She the being chosen by the Divine Mother of the Universe for the incarnation on it of her Son, the Christ.
But what is the real value of those images? They are there upon altars and sanctuaries and adorn these, but lacking a real value until a time when devotees clothe them with their prayers, with their continuous adoration.
Daughters of mine; dress that so beautiful, expressive image in your chapel, but dress it with your virtues, with your silence and absorption, and with your Realization.
Renunciation Daughters! You should understand this: true Renunciation does not consist in leaving the world, relatives, friends and job. No, Daughters, no! This is external renunciation; this is a positive value, and the world is fully updated by positive values. A true, divine Renunciation is Inner Renunciation of our souls and constituted by full realization of negative values that the world neither sees nor knows.
Daughters of mine, imagine the time as non-existent to you!, since the past does not belong to you and is dead; the present does not belong to you either; all the time is in the Mother’s hands. You have left the time of the world, and you are in the eternity. The work that you make and that the world sees is unimportant and does not count for the Mother; the important work deprives you of yourselves, and is a work living only on a continuous renunciation. Remember this: you have nothing, nothing, since you have surrendered everything to the Mother: good and evil, and pure and impure.
She opened the Door to you without questions; your offering was enough. She did not asked if you are pure, perfect, rich or poor. She did not look at anything like that; simply She took you because you gave yourselves. If your vow is temporary, solemn or perpetual was out of question; She talked to you on the same level.
Ordained Daughters of Embalse: do you realize the wonderful grace granted to you?
She has chosen ordinary women not considering who you are; the only motive was that you responded to Her call by surrendering yourselves. And how much She claim to the world for things like that and for Her voice being heard just for a moment! But see, the Divine Mother has chosen you; so, work, work without rest, but within yourselves. You are dead to the world, but now you should work for this world in the Work of the Mother. And over all, pray much for your lives to be a continuous prayer, absorption, and Silence, since now the Divine Mother is stretching the Hand to you, and you must put in it your little drop of blood. Think over: Is not your mission the most wonderful mission for the illumination of the world at this moment? Think for a while of what is your turn to carry out, since the salvation of the world won’t be in the hands of scientists, artists or politicians, but in the hands of those who serve the Mother and get deprived of themselves.
Look at the mission you have. Nowadays the world has understood but not followed the work of Christ. Christ came, but men did not follow his example. The moment for the New Incarnation of the Divine is nearby; it is the Divine Incarnation that will enable the self-realization of each man to become a little Christ.
And how can the Divine Mother descend to Earth? By taking a group of beings prepared to give their blood and shape the Divine Body. Your mission is to become little mothers of this body –¡oh, look if your task is not wonderful– how near to you the Mother is. Stop and think a little, and you’ll see on the light She gives you the divine aspect of your positions and the grace granted to you. How many women and teenagers are in the world fighting in the dark and not finding where to place their faith, longings, aspirations and virtues! How many women and teenagers would wish to find what you have, to leave all and go after it! They are poor souls that are bound to fight and fall, and seek in the world of shadows.
Pray much and renounce, because through this renunciation those souls will find what they seek. May love move every fiber of your hearts to offer your blood in holocaust of the souls fighting amid misery and darkness; hand your blood over the Mother and She will be able to descend to Earth and this Divine Incarnation can offer a new life to the world.
You are little mothers of this Incarnation, and Her Body will rest on your work. So, work on it; do as a painter who first traces a picture, makes a draft and other, and other, and eventually the genial, true idea is shaped on the canvass and the Master Work is born.
Daughters, you should work this way and hand your blood over the Mother, since nothing can be achieved without this blood that is mud shaped by the Divine Mother who later will breathe on it and give it life. Through this offering, turn yourselves toward the Mother; so you’ll see how the stones in the work will become and support the Divine Work if you work with love and determination.
