5338 Conversion work on souls from the depths through love....

March 17, 1952: Book 59

I want you all to become blessed.... Therefore I give you every opportunity to reach the aim, beatification. I take no pleasure in My living creations' decline, I don't want them to suffer, I don't want them to perish either, to fall into My adversary's hands, for although he will not keep them forever he can nevertheless hold them in his power for a long time, to the creature's immense suffering and indescribable torment. And where there is only one possibility to shorten this state of misery, to snatch the souls from My adversary, I Myself will create opportunities and do everything to enable the being's ascent to height. Moreover, My love also desires the spiritual being which once fell away from Me, because it originates from My eternal love and is therefore My share. Love, however, always knows ways and means, no matter how hopeless success may seem. The satanic influence in the last time before the end sets all forces of heaven and earth in motion to do counter-work, to put themselves in a defensive position and to be active for Me to the same extent as satan works against Me. And now the strength of love proves to be exceedingly beneficial and its effect is a redeeming one, i.e. the love of a being of light or also of a human being on earth is able to break fetters which satan has forged.... Love can snatch souls from him because it is a weapon against which he is powerless. The strength of love could redeem the entire spiritual world in an instant, yet the law of eternal order applies here too, that love cannot work if it meets with resistance.... and that therefore the will which opposes Me must first be broken before love can take effect.... And countless beings of light and people on earth who are devoted to Me struggle for this will....

Again, love must bring about this change of will, and it will not remain without success. Never before has the battle between light and darkness raged as it does now before the end of the old earth, for satan drives the forces in bondage to him to utmost activity, and the beings of light also set themselves up for battle against them. Yet they do not fight against each other but for the souls of people on earth.... And both forces seek to gain influence until one force wins the victory. Yet even what seems to be lost can still be retrieved if a person's love fights for this being, if a person of his own free will follows him with his thoughts into the darkness, if he tries to snatch the soul out of it and mentally influences this soul such that it hears the call of love and feels charitably touched and turns around.... Then the strength of love is able to work miracles, it can change a soul and awaken the desire in it to flee from satan’s realm, to flee from darkness to light, and the desire can also be followed by action as soon as the human being supports the soul with his love....

I rejoice in every such work of conversion and help as far as it is possible without coercion of will, for I Myself desire those souls which satan wanted to snatch from Me and which I could not hold back by virtue of My power but hand them over to you humans to rescue them from adversity through your love. You humans don't know what kind of power you have yourselves when you fight with the weapon of love.... It would truly be possible for you humans to redeem hell if you would all accept the fallen souls with deepest love in order to help them up.... And I would bless you all for it.... but your faith is too weak and therefore you neither know about the great hardship nor about the possibility to alleviate it. And you yourselves are in danger of entering the kingdom of darkness one day because you don't believe.... yet take care that you will at least be followed by works of love, take care that you will be remembered with love, that you will find help to ascend from the abyss to the height.... For I don't want you to perish, I want you to become blessed, so that you can enter heights of light and triumph over satan, who wants to increase his kingdom and yet is powerless against the strength of love....

Amen
