0867 Redemption through love.... rebirth of the spirit.... overcoming death....

April 16, 1939: Book 17

Love for humanity moved the son of man to take suffering and the guilt of sin upon Himself.... Love for humanity is once again the motive for His extraordinary activity on earth. And love for one another shall likewise make you His co-workers, for only through love can you redeem yourselves and your fellow human beings.... The will to help each other is truly already an act, for you thereby confess yourselves before the lord as His servants, you, as it were, carry out the lord's will.... is to give love where it is needed.... The lord will bless your effort and not abandon you if you are in need of help. And thus love alone is salvation, for love is divine, and if you are active in love you free yourselves from the power of evil, you have escaped its control and found the lord.... for if you love you are one with Him.... He is with you in every work of love, for He is love Himself.... So make frequent use of His grace, which He promises you.... Love so that He enters your hearts and His nearness makes you infinitely happy.... Help each other who still live on earth.... give to the poor in spirit.... Do not let the hungry suffer where you can feed them with the bread of heaven.... Recognize the divine guidance in every event.... Willingly follow His guidance and only ever live in love, which is the epitome of all being. You will be able to book the most beautiful success if love drives you to alleviate people's suffering.... for then you will work with the lord Himself.... you will, as it were, take part in the lord's work of redemption, for you will willingly take the suffering of your fellow human beings upon your shoulders if you strive to reduce this suffering and become absorbed in love for each other. Let this be your endeavour, that you seek to do good to one another, that you never think of your neighbour in unkindness if he has to live in want and suffer, but that you sacrifice your own well-being if you can thereby free your neighbour from hardship. The lord's work of redemption was synonymous with the rebirth of the spirit.... through the divine work of redemption the spirit in the human being could be awakened to life, for this happens through love. He, Who overcame death through His great love, thus made love the awakener of all dead life.... He took away the sting of death.... he who lives in love can no longer fall prey to eternal death, and truly man finds eternal life through love....

Amen
