To Forgive Much So As to Be Forgiven Much

July 26prev home next

Jesus says:

“I am the Father’s Voice moved by Love. Like a river I flow over the world and come to seek you, one by one, to permeate you with Myself. Like a tireless shepherd I run after my little sheep, calling them with a loving voice, and when I succeed in gathering many of them together, I forget every labor in the joy of having you around Me. I use all the arts of love to attract you to my saving love. Nor would I find it hard - I repeat106 - to offer the Passion again - and even more bitter in its torture - if that were of use to gather all of you into my sheepfold.

“But outside of it seduction hisses, and many of my children go out to follow it. Too many! I will never stop saying that this is my sorrow. When these hours come in which even the best stain their better selves with the ferment of hatred, I suffer greatly. For I would like you to be penetrated by Me to the point of never descending to the malice of hatred towards anyone. Hatred is your ruin, and you make it your doctrine, poor children who are no longer familiar with the sweet herbs of forgiveness.

“Whoever loves and forgives much will be forgiven much. Much, even all, if your forgiveness is absolute.

“Don’t you think you need God’s forgiveness? Yes. In truth I tell you that you all need to be forgiven seventy times seven and that your God stands with forgiveness for you in his divine hands, waiting for you to deserve it by your mercy, for God wants your good. I tell you that I am the Father’s Voice and speak in his name. I tell you that I am the one to whom all judgment is submitted by the Father.

“It is stated, ‘There is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who is converted than over ten just persons who remain in the Lord.’ But I tell you that there will be threefold, tenfold rejoicing in heaven over one of my children who is able to forgive as I was able and that such forgiveness brings God’s blessing upon the earth. And only I know how much blessing you need to avert the impending punishments.”


106 As already mentioned in the dictations of April 23 and August 11.
