1430 Christ advocate.... forgiveness of sins.... affirming the work of salvation....

May 22, 1940: Book 23

Confess your guilt to the heavenly father so that He may free you from it. There is no law that could call God's love into question.... there is nothing that is unrealizable on the part of man that God demands of him. So if you are burdened by guilt and would like to be freed from it, you need only turn your whole will to the father and commend yourselves to Him and His grace. And He will remove all guilt from you if it is your heartfelt desire to be freed from it. For you have a mighty intercessor with God, Jesus Christ, who took your guilt of sin upon Himself out of love for you and died for it. You only need to ask for His love and His intercession, i.e. consciously place yourselves in the circle of those for whom the saviour died, and you will share in the graces of the work of redemption.... You will be freed from all guilt for the sake of Jesus. Only your will must have become active.... You must perceive sin itself as a burden from which you wish to be free, you must detest it, and the desire for deliverance must be so strong in you that you avail yourselves of the saviour's divine love and grace and allow yourselves to be redeemed from all guilt. This will is an affirmation, an acknowledgement of the work of redemption.... you then have faith in Jesus Christ, the saviour of the world.... you turn to Him and away from the author of sin.... You thus regocnize the wrong you have done. And the feeling of guilt makes you humble, it makes you ask for mercy.... You establish contact with the heavenly father in the realization that you have sinned against Him, that you have not observed His commandments and therefore also not fulfilled them.... You perceive this as an injustice, you are no longer arrogant or aware of your worth but humbly ask the father for His grace and mercy. And He hears your prayer for the sake of His son.... He accepts the atoning sacrifice that Jesus offered Him through His death on the cross for you and your sin.... And so He has redeemed you from all sin....

Amen
