Just received this letter from Jesus and wanted to share it with you. Brother Giovanni
Giovanni,
I am sorry for being away so long without writing. I have spent some time on the east coast of the United States and I am now heading west again.
I am told our visits and exchange of letters is causing some problems for you. Amazing, so many folks supposedly believe in me, and then when I show up, they think we are all crazy. Get used to it.
This God thing gets a little weary at times. Somehow, expectations have been created that leaves everything to me and no one else. What else is new? It has been this way from the beginning.
And what about this self-righteousness that seems to go on with all spirituality, particularly in the United States?
All of your so-called religions, organized or not, believe they hold some divine right to the truth. Ironically, even those who believe there is no truth act as if they have been divinely inspired!
Where did all this come from? As for Christianity, any resemblance to what we started to what is here now is coincidental at best.
And your politics - the blind eye each side has for its glaring faults makes religious intolerance look mild in comparison.
Forgive my complaining, but my human side cannot resist. Give me the Italians every time. Their faithful and passionate indifference is inspiring compared to what I find here.
It is easy to see why Gabriel is anxious to blow his horn. It is hard to believe, but if I may say so, it might just take a God to straighten this all out.
Have to go now. Thanks for the chance to vent. I am looking forward to stopping in the smaller, rural towns - gives me a chance to calm down before the Christmas rush. Till next time … your friend,
Jesus
