Letter #46, 2019: The Nineveh Code[2019-08-17][Engleză]Saturday, August 17, 2019"Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying, 'Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.' Jonah, however, got up and fled to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship bound for Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went aboard to sail for Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD." —Book of Jonah, 1:1-3. Jonah at the very outset refuses the call of the Lord to go to Nineveh and proclaim that its evil and sinfulness will lead to its destruction. He flees from the presence of the Lord "I have asked nothing else of you but that you adore Me and linger in My presence... You have not yet understood that by coming to adore Me, you open yourself to miracles of grace and to a mighty development of My power in your infirmity...

Look at the Sacred Host and see Me, who am the grain of wheat fallen into the ground and risen to life, and become the food of a vast multitude of souls, and this until the end of time." —from the book In Sinu Jesu: When Heart Speaks to Heart, The Journal of a Priest at Prayer (2016), by an anonymous Benedictine monk, p. 259, which has become a Catholic publishing phenomenon with virtually no advertising, only word of mouth. Archbishop Vigano has been reading the book during the year since he published his "Testimony" in August, 2018. In the book, the anonymous author presents passages like the one above as the words of Jesus, heard in his heart during prayer. The monk here is asked to be fully in the presence of the Lord in the prayer of adoration before the Eucharist, unlike Jonah, who flees from the presence of the Lord... The Niniveh Code "What I appreciate about this book," Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano said to me a few days ago, referring to the book In Sinu Jesu: When Heart Speaks to Heart, The Journal of a Priest at Prayer (Angelico Press, 2016), by an anonymous Benedictine monk, "is its great spiritual simplicity. "Without complicated arguments, or psychological jargon, it proposes a profound spiritual answer to the great spiritual crisis of our time. "During the past year, I have been meditating a great deal on this question." "What answer does the book give?" I asked. (Note: the rest of this Letter is on the ITV website...)
