3797 Right Worship, Charity and Mercy....

June 11, 1946: Book 48

If you are charitable and merciful, you serve Me in the most obvious way, for you then profess your affiliation to Me, Who is Love Itself, as soon as you carry out works of love. Mankind is in great need, both earthly and spiritually, and you should help everyone and try to alleviate the hardship. You should give where your gifts are needed, you should comfort and try to alleviate pain, and through spiritual encouragement you should come to the aid of their souls which suffer even more than the body.... You should keep their need in mind and help where you can.... And you will not only reduce the earthly hardship but awaken love and thereby also remedy the spiritual hardship, for only love is an effective antidote against all spiritual and earthly hardship and it can only be successfully controlled through deeds of love. And this is why loving activity is the only divine service which is pleasing to Me and which you can carry out at any time, on any day and in any place. Where it is necessary for you to intervene helpfully, there you should express your love and My eyes will rest favourably on you, who serve Me by doing so, who honor Me with every help you give to one of the least of your brothers.... For you are all My creatures, you are all children of one Father, and if you love and honor your fellow human beings, you also love and honor Me, and I accept your services which correspond to My will. And therefore make every effort to be of true service to God, serve Me with deeds, not just with words or external gestures which do nothing to alleviate earthly or spiritual hardship. Seek to secure My closeness, My presence, through loving activity and know that you will then be able to accomplish much in order to remedy earthly and spiritual hardship. For then it is I Who will work through you, because you draw Me to yourselves through loving activity and I can now visibly support you. You will always be offered the opportunity to be lovingly active, for the adversity around you urgently calls for help, and if you lift up those who are in need and help them spiritually and earthly, you will follow Me.... you walk the path of love which I have shown you, you live true Christianity, you follow My teaching of love and you will also experience the blessings as I have promised you.... You will inherit My kingdom, which is not of this world, for love redeems you from all sins, it makes you free and leads to union with Me, Who is Eternal Love Itself....

Amen
