Is there life on other worlds? Yes!

The Almighty would be a very small and limited Creator if He had created the Earth as the only inhabited world!

 

Two overviews of private revelations to Maria of the Cross (Maria Valtorta). 

 

The Lord is speaking of the Book of the Apocalypse, and considers its most obscure point to be the identity of the “great Babylon.” [There are six references to this term in that book.] From a human viewpoint, commentators have exhausted their capacity to deduce with their many explanations the meaning of the “great Babylon.” But why have they never considered that this term refers to the whole Earth?

 

It is true that the Earth is really that great harlot that has fornicated with all the powers of earth and hell, and its inhabitants have prostituted themselves, body and soul, just for a moment of triumph in earthly time.

 

This Earth, of which we are so proud, is simply one of the bits of fine dust that rotates in the firmament, and it is not even the biggest one. However, it is certainly the most corrupt one.

 

With a pulse of His Will, the Almighty has brought forth a multitude of worlds from nothing, and cast them as luminous fine dust into the cosmos. Lives upon lives teem in the millions of worlds which we joyfully gaze upon during a peaceful, clear evening. The Lord God would be a very small and limited Creator if He had created the Earth as the only inhabited world!

 

And when our spirits are rejoined to God, the perfection of the Most High will appear to us, and we will be able to see the wonders of those worlds.

[Note: From the context and tone of the Lord, these 'lives' are most likely plant and animal lives. When He says the Earth is the most corrupt world, this might be hyperbole to emphasize the degradation of the Earth. At any rate, man is still the apex of Creation.  See below in the second part, where the Lord states that humans are perfect creatures "superior to all beings living in time and in the world.  As an aside, it is guaranteed that as soon as scientists discover life out there, they will proceed to dogmatically inform us as to how it must have “evolved.”]

The Lord, speaking to Simon Peter, explains to him that the Earth is an altar, a huge altar. Like the other worlds strewn in the Creation, it ought to sing psalms to its Creator. It was to be an altar of unceasing praise to God, but it has become full of sin. Therefore, it must also be an altar of endless reparation, expiation, and sacrifice. 

 

Imagine the stars, planets and comets as celestial creatures that sing the praises of the Creator in a vast temple. The Earth too, like the sky, sings with its winds, streams, breezes and the voices of birds and animals. But if the praises of the celestial creatures are sufficient for the vault of heaven, the unconscious singing of the of winds, waters and animals is not sufficient for the temple of the Earth. That is because on Earth there is also man “the perfect creature, superior to all beings living in time and in the world.” 

 

Man has been gifted with matter and with spirit, and is destined to know and possess God, through grace now and in Paradise later. He has a mission and a duty that should bring him joy – to love God. To love God intelligently and voluntarily, to repay the Creator’s love that He gave to man by granting him life and a heavenly future.

 

The Lord asks Peter to consider what benefit and profit does God get from His Creation? The Lord Himself provides the Apostle the answer – none. God is infinite and Creation does not make Him greater. But God, who is “God-Love,” wanted to have love. That is why He created. What He receives from Creation is love, intelligently and freely offered by angels and men. This love is the glory of God, the joy of the angels, and the religion of men.

 

The Earth must be the Temple that loves and prays through its human inhabitants. If the great altar of the Earth should omit its praises and love, it would cease to exist. This is because once love is extinguished, expiation would also cease, and the “wrath of God” would destroy an Earth that had become a hell. “So the Earth must love in order to exist.”
