Leadership ....

B.D. No. 3489 June 17th 1945

He who feels weak, let him come to Me .... I will strengthen him .... And I will come close to anyone who believes himself to be abandoned and be his companion on all his paths through life. Yet he has to acknowledge Me, otherwise I cannot assist him because I respect the human being's free will. My aim is the unification of the apostate spiritual being with Me, but this must take place voluntarily. And therefore you must call for Me, you must desire My nearness yourselves and want to be guided by Me. And anyone who has the will turned towards Me within himself will never be abandoned by Me, because his striving is aimed at uniting with Me. But never ever shall you, who acknowledge Me, be despondent, never ever shall weakness of faith cause you to become discouraged, but a heartfelt thought, a brief appeal for strength and grace will always suffice and My love will not deny itself to you .... My strength flows to you and My hand guides you safely towards the aim .... And even if the path seems difficult for you, every step will be right by My hand, and you can cover the path without worry, for it is the right one if you have Me as your companion, and your will, your desire for Me, will earn you My guidance. In firm faith in this every weakness will fall away from you and you will walk safely and carefree through earthly life, for I can be close to you because you long for Me. And I am with everyone who deeply desires Me, and the more his love is for Me the more palpable I am. And therefore you humans can make earthly life easier for yourselves, for My nearness signifies strength, and anyone who is permeated by My strength masters life at all times, for he works and creates with Me, for Whom nothing is impossible ....

Amen
