Temptations of the world ....

You will have to be careful not to fall prey to the temptations of the world if you are not yet strong enough in faith. For the hostilities of the world are especially aimed at you, it seeks to win you over and to persuade you to fall away from God, and therefore you must arm yourselves with the shield of faith and steel it beforehand so that it will stand firm. Anyone who is still weak should struggle for strength of faith, he should not stop asking for strength and grace and his will should always be turned towards God; he should practise love because strength will flow into him and he will then be able to withstand all temptations by the world. Thus love is always the first .... to be constantly active in love will let you grow in knowledge, you will attain convinced faith and this will have an unshakeable strength, love is a weapon which overcomes everything and forces the strongest enemy to the ground, because God Himself is active in the loving human being.

And time and again it has to be pointed out that the coming time will bring you abundant opportunities to practise neighbourly love, and that you must not fail then if you want to survive the horrors of the time, if you want to pass through this last battle unharmed in body and soul. Nothing else can replace the strength of love and nothing else can earn you this strength than active neighbourly love, as active care for the soul and body of your fellow human being. If you practise this, the time of tribulation need not frighten you, for then you will have the strength within you to master all opposition.

But as you lack love, you will also waver in faith, because faith without love is dead and a dead faith is without conviction and without strength. Then the world will easily succeed in making you inclined towards its temptations; earthly life will seem incomparably more appealing to you, for you have nothing more pleasing to offer it .... the delights of a profound bond with God through love ..... Then you will fall away and be lost for eternity, for the final decision is before you and you will only be able to make it right if you believe deeply and steadfastly.

And this is why God warns you urgently against the temptations of the world, and He admonishes you again and again to love ..... He constantly shows you the path you must take in order to emerge victorious from the final time of struggle; but there is only one path, the path of love .... And if you take this path you need not fear anything, no matter what may come. Without love, however, the path is difficult or, if you leave it, dangerous for your soul .... And prayer is always at your disposal. If you are in danger of becoming weak, call upon God for His help, present your adversity to Him and appeal to Him for grace and strength, and He will truly not let your prayer go unheard if you fear for your soul's salvation and take refuge in Him.

And the strength will come to you to be lovingly active, and then use it in the right way .... Always bear in mind that you cannot become blissfully happy without love but that in love you will find the fullest substitute for everything the world can offer you. For you only desire pseudo-goods ..... For their sake don't give up the goods of eternity which make you deeply happy and turn you into free, blissful beings. Therefore fight the short battle with God, i.e. remain in constant contact with God in love for your neighbour, and you will emerge victorious from this battle and enjoy your victory forever ....

Amen
