I Appeal to You

3755   The commandment of love as life’s guiding principle ....

You are unfailingly doing My will if you learn to love .... Let My commandment of love be your guiding principle for everything you do, think and say .... Then you will gain My favour and will be blessed, spiritually as well as worldly, in a manner that benefits your soul. You should not exclude anyone from your love nor refuse to help those who need your help. Then you, too, will discover the secret of eternal love which forever fills all of infinity with its strength, thus it can fill you to excess too so that you become a likeness of Me, as it is your goal on earth. Love has to be practised and for that reason I allow the great hardship on earth because it motivates people’s actions of love, because hardship leaves countless people in need of help and gives other people the opportunity to help with compassion.

Therefore don’t let your hearts become hardened, be aware of the hardship surrounding you and help where and as you can. Follow My example, Who eased spiritual and earthly suffering on earth, Who helped the weak and sick, Who lifted and healed their souls and bodies, Whose loving way of life has been an example to you and Who told you to follow it. Be merciful, peaceful, gentle and patient, humble with all your heart and righteous in thought and action. Practice these virtues since they are the result of love in your hearts .... thus you have to make an effort, you have to become aware of your faults and try to remove them, you have to banish all unkindness from your heart and strive towards the highest perfection. If you lack the strength to do this then you have the prayer at your disposal, the deeply felt connection with Me, which always guarantees you a supply of strength .... because I don’t ignore any human being’s distress, least of all his spiritual distress, I know every person’s will and give his soul strength and help in accordance with this will.

Let My commandment of love be the guiding principle of your thoughts and actions and you shall fulfil My will on earth .... Don’t harden your hearts as this is the greatest danger for you since then you will be entirely without strength from Me. But if you ask for My help you won’t be asking in vain because My love for you is unchanging and takes hold of everyone who longs for it .... but as I do to you also do to other people, then your way of life will correspond to My will ....

Amen
