4697 Help to erring souls greatest work of love and mercy....

July 25, 1949: Book 54

You will be granted manifold blessings if you endeavour to help erring souls who cannot find the right path because they are blind in spirit. Bringing them light, pointing them to the right path and thus making it possible for them to reach the aim is a work of mercy and neighbourly love which is significant for eternity and which is therefore highly valued by Me, Who loves all My creations and wants to bring them salvation through you. Physically helping your neighbour is certainly also a work of love which will be rewarded to you; however, putting a soul into the state of recognizing its situation and subsequently changing itself, thus entering the right path which leads to My kingdom and is the only aim worth striving for, is far more meritorious, for at the same time it is evidence of profound faith if a person imparts his knowledge to another which has only been acquired spiritually, thus it cannot be proven. Moreover, such a work of love has an effect for the whole of eternity.... If you imagine that your efforts to enlighten an ignorant person can result in a state of light for his soul which it will never lose again, then this awareness must already be the greatest reward for you to have spared this soul unspeakable suffering which, however, would have been its fate in the beyond if it had entered it in darkness. To have brought light to a person is the greatest work of love, for it proves sincere, unselfish neighbourly love. Although the efforts for an erring soul are often seemingly unsuccessful, what a soul has once received will emerge again in it in cases of great earthly adversity, and then it is still possible for the person to confess it, and this will always be and remain your merit, for a saved soul will eternally thank its saviour if it once stands in the light.... if it has recognized the fate it has escaped through His help....

Amen
