FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH
I WROTE ON 1st SEPTEMBER 2011:
MARITA LEZCANO. A VERY HUMBLE SISTER FROM MALDONADO, URUGUAY.
THIS BEING SERVED ALL OF US IN OUR HOUSE IN MONTEVIDEO, AS WE WERE GUESTS DURING THE MISSION HELD IN URUGUAY IN THE PAST FEW DAYS. SHE WAS THE PLAYMATE OF SONIETTA AND GIORGIO DAVID ALMENDRAS. SHE CLEANED WHERE WE DIRTIED, SHE WASHED THE BATHROOMS AND OUR PERSONAL CLOTHES IN ORDER TO LET US "WRITERS, JOURNALISTS, SPIRITUAL GUIDES", SPACE AND TIME. SHE HAS CONTINUOUSLY PERFUMED THE HOUSE WITH HER SERVICE, HER LOVE. MARITA IS ALSO A CULTURED, INTELLECTUAL PERSON AND WRITES IN A DIVINE WAY. MARITA REPRESENTS OUR GROUP FROM MALDONADO. MARITA IS A WOMAN WHO SUFFERS FOR HER CHILDREN, CHILDREN OF AN UNFAIR SOUTH AMERICAN SOCIETY AND YET HOPES IN A BETTER WORLD.
MARITA IS ALL THIS AND MUCH, MUCH MORE ON FRIENDSHIP AND BROTHERHOOD FEELINGS. MARITA, MY SISTER, I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I AM NOT WORTHY OF WHAT YOU WROTE ABOUT MY PERSON. CERTAINLY IT IS TRUE THAT I AM A MESSENGER OF GOD THAT CALLS IN THE DESERT, BUT I WANT TO BE YOUR MIRROR OF THE SUBLIME WORDS YOU BROUGHT TO MY SPIRIT AND I WOULD LIKE THEM TO SLIP IN THE AIR AND REACH YOUR SOUL AND THE SOUL OF ALL THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT, LIKE YOU, DESERVE A BETTER WORLD: THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST ON EARTH.
WITH CHRIST?S LOVE, YOUR BROTHER IN SPIRIT, GIORGIO

?THE VOICE OF A SERVANT
After a one year-long absence, Giorgio was back to Uruguay. First we waited for his arrival very anxiously, as one waits a very loved being? then, very sadly, we had to let him go away. The days near him passed so quickly and although he is always present with the spirit, it is difficult today, in human terms, to accept his absence. There were many emotional moments lived with him, so intense that we will be gradually able to assimilate them, day by day.
His teachings are a Treasure and a Grace, and it would not be possible to receive them if Giorgio was not as he is, a selfless and humble being who offered himself for the love of Christ and the Blessed Mother on the precise moment in which he decided to complete the mission assigned to him... a voice which cries out even if mankind refuses to see and hear? yet humanity should stay awake and keep watching with humility and courage, awaiting the imminent return of the One who, together with His Heavenly Mother, has never stopped for two thousand years to visit us and? tenderly touch through His Word and light, the called souls, to give testimony of His return.It has been said and written: "If the Father does not shorten the time... even the elect would be lost." But... who are the elect? "The elect are those who have heard and followed Jesus, those who do not care if they are going to be hated, to suffer injustice and persecution... They are those who believe in God, their saviour, beyond any hope, those who overcome the obstacles the devil puts in their way with perseverance, those who are being tried with afflictions in the body and heart, those who purify themselves through pain and struggle every day..."; those who have agreed to serve Him with the renunciation and the sacrifice that such acceptance implies and which few people in the world are able to face?
"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one others." (John 13:35). And what love may this being feel for Christ and humanity, to the point that he has given himself and his life completely and unconditionally to them, to love them, every day for 22 years, with the desperation of one who knows what people would face if they do not repent and change their conduct of life in the little time that remains, "straighten the paths of the Lord..."
FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH
SACRIFICE - RENUNCIATION - SERVICE
?THEY ARE THE VALUES THAT PERSONIFY THE WITNESSES OF THE TRUTH, JESUS' FOLLOWERS.
THE SACRIFICE IS THE CROSS, THE SUFFERING. OFFERING COMPLETELY WITH LOVE ONE?S LIFE FOR HIS BROTHER.
THE RENUNCIATION IS THE TOTAL DONATION OF MATTER AND SPIRIT TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING OR VERY LITTLE. TO GIVE YOUR LIGHT FAIRLY AND DEPRIVE YOURSELF OF YOUR OWN NEEDS TO FIND THEM AGAIN IN THE SMILE OF THOSE YOU LOVE??
Despite the physical exhaustion Giorgio renewed his strength to keep going, to hold several conferences in Latin America, interviews to various television channels and radio stations, meetings with Christians of different arks; Giorgio does all this in addition to his journalist role of Anti-mafia Duemila online newspaper, in permanent coordination with the brothers of Italy.
Giorgio gave up everything to follow Jesus (normal life, family, holydays?) Christ comes first! The time is close and there is still a lot of work to do! He never stops working even when he bleeds.
And besides all of this? during his stay, he gave us the joy to share with us this meeting of the Arks that has been held in the beautiful city of Rosario for some years. Meetings that leave in our hearts the seal of the meaning of brotherhood, the imperious necessity of this feeling of brotherhood, as our sister 
Erika said, we must seek and cultivate it as food for our spirit to keep living and fighting day by day. Without our brothers, we could not survive in this world of values upside down.
It is difficult to summarize with words what Giorgio means to us or to the world... I can say that he does not define himself an elect person, but he likes to call himself a servant and as a servant he gives all himself. Giorgio is a voice that makes the gardens of light sprout in the desert, by giving his life totally to the Father; small scented gardens of flowers...! He reminds me one of these flowers, the meaning of which my daughter explained to me a few days ago: a flower carries in itself the bitterness and pain of the Passion of Christ, and brings in its corolla, the symbol of Father Sun!
I want to say thank you Giorgio, for being as you are and for everything you give to us? Anything we do will never be enough to deserve you!
Marita
