The being who came to Earth as Jesus Christ is no longer here, but the consciousness that he incarnated - i.e. the 'Christ Consciousness' - remains ever-present. Throughout history visionaries and seers have contacted this consciousness and brought messages from it to humanity. In this contemporary expression, Friar Elias de Sagrado Corazon de Jesus - a monk of the Ecumenical Grace-Mercy Order - transmits poems from this Christ-consciousness.

These poems inspire us with courage and commitment to face the difficult times that we live in and elevate us to a higher level of spiritual understanding. In them Christ says:

"I would like you to be so similar to me in devotion, purity and sincerity because beyond the imperfections of life and of human appearances, in the depths of each being, there is an inner Christ capable of conducting your lives and your souls towards My Celestial Church."

This Christ-consciousness thus reminds us that within each of us is an 'inner Christ' and that the process of spiritual transformation is one of 'Christification' in which we realize this Christ within.

May these poems inspire you and encourage you in your journey.
