2855 Admonition to His servants on earth to be diligent....

August 20, 1943: Book 37

This is My will that you enlighten your fellow human beings, that you proclaim the gospel to them, that you preach love to them and show them the path which leads to Me, that you teach them My commandments which only demand a life of love, so that they will attain wisdom through love, so that they will enter a state full of light, a state of knowledge and strength.... People only lack the knowledge of pure truth, but this lack has a disastrous effect, both spiritually and earthly. As long as humanity is not in the truth, it moves in a state of darkness, which causes confusion, chaos and misses the right path.... It no longer recognizes the goal and pursues paths that lead far from the goal. People fall into emotional distress, which they try to numb with earthly pleasures and indulgences. Their souls are in need and hunger for strengthening, for guidance and the right direction, for they realize very well that they are taking the wrong path as soon as they seriously reflect on their lives. And you shall bring them strength, you shall draw their attention to their state of darkness, you shall try to kindle a ray of light in them, to make My word accessible to them and point out to them the real purpose of earthly life. You should try to make My teaching of love accessible to them, to determine them to practice love in order to be able to feel its effect. You should make use of every opportunity to present their earthly task to them and to make My will known to them, which only consists of their submission to My will, that they prove their love for Me through their love for their neighbor and that they strive towards Me and thus towards the right goal. This is your task which I entrust to you, for you can cause infinite blessings through it, you can help many people in their spiritual adversity, even if it depends on their will whether your mission is successful. Nevertheless, for the time being it is necessary to inform them of My will so that they can make up their own minds about it. In the dark spiritual night a little light is truly needed to illuminate the night, and anyone who eagerly accepts the ray of light, who allows it to take effect on him, will also feel the benefit of it and desire an increased abundance of light.... I send a ray of light to all people through My messengers, and wherever My word is proclaimed My messengers are active.... the more successful the more willing they are to serve Me and the more loving their hearts are to alleviate the hardship of their fellow human beings. I am constantly anxious to help people and to show them the only practicable path which leads upwards; My love constantly seeks to bring them help and therefore I need you, My servants on earth, to lend Me your hearts and your mouths so that I can speak to people through you. And that is why you are not allowed to oppose My will with your will; you must always and constantly be willing to be of service, you must receive My word from Me and pass it on, you must always regard yourselves as My organs which work for Me and only ever want to carry out My will. And you have to consider that time is pressing, that you are not allowed to be lukewarm and lazy, that the adversity is unspeakably great and that your will helps to reduce this adversity. And thus you must constantly place yourselves at My disposal, you must allow yourselves to be guided by Me, by the inner voice which urges you to do or not to do something. You have to give in to this urging within you, always with your eyes turned towards Me, always asking for My protection and My guidance.... And you will receive the strength to fulfill My will, you will be able to work beneficially for Me and My word, you will bring help to countless souls in spiritual adversity. And My grace and strength will flow to you so that you will be able to accomplish what you otherwise would not be able to achieve as a human being. And My love will put into your mouth what you should say so that your work will be successful and blessed....

amen
