If you find love use it as a role model
11. If you humbly fulfill your mission, the world will believe you.
This world, tired of words and
rites, needs role models.
You, Israel, have received pure seed at all times ─ Who
could you take as an example? Which of the religious
communities that emerged made sure that all of my
commandments were followed ?: None. But I can tell you:
If you meet pious people in them, use them as a model.
If you find love, take their love as an example.
If you see them in awe of Me, then emulate them so that you
will learn to appreciate virtue and to recognize everyone
for what is rightly due to them.
However, never use the imperfect,
the blameworthy, as a model. If you do not know what is just and
what is to be blamed, pray, listen to my word
and let your conscience advise you.
12. The complaint of mankind comes to Me;
the fear of children, adolescents, men and women
of mature age
and the elderly pervades. It is the call that
demands justice,
it is a pleading request for peace, for mercy
that comes
from the spirit. Because the seeds of love in
this world are spoiled,
and do you
know where love is now?
In the
innermost part of the human heart, so deep inside
that man
cannot discover it because hatred,
striving for power, science and vanity have
crushed
the seeds and there is no spirituality or mercy.
The cup of suffering is getting fuller,
and the world drinks it to the yeast.
13. But you, people, contemplate the storm that
broke out in peace from the lifeboat with
confidence in the father.
While some of those war nations blaspheme against
my spirit and others practice imperfect religious
cults,
you glorify Me. But you will all wake up in this
time
of trials and eventually unite through love and
spiritual knowledge.
14. Disciples, I receive you and I am quickly
ready to forgive you.
I want to feel loved by you and I also wish that
you live
in harmony with each other. The absent child
should return
to my lap, and if it has turned away from me due
to lack
of understanding or ignorance, it should not fear
that I
will accuse it of its behavior. I want to caress
your soul and give
it back
what it has lost - its peace, joy and hope.
It is my wish that you taste the sweetness of
this life,
that you also understand how to accept its
adversities,
that you live meekly and patiently, that you
strive
for your upward development. Who could remove Me
from you, or what power is there to prevent
me from loving you and protecting you?
15. You, on the other hand, are able to distance
yourself
from Me and act like the "Prodigal
Son", and only when
the pain wounds your heart do you remember that
there
is a Father who loves you and is ready to help
you to save
you from every danger that threatens you.
16. I have always instilled trust in you so that
you
see in Me a loving father, a faithful friend, a
confidant.
