My dear brothers and sisters, I have come to you in the love of God, not to seek to be loved, but to give love, not to seek to be understood, but to understand your hearts and to give you a voice of hope through the eternal power of God’s mercy that forgives, that heals and transforms your lives through the power of his passion, and joy and hope of his resurrection, that is life for our souls, for your souls, that his heart, sacred, pure and true, may purify your hearts in his loving mercy.
For there is no sin greater than God’s mercy to forgive and to say, come into the light, follow in my footsteps and be free. For freedom is not a place, it comes from within the heart of God that beats within your hearts in love.
Oh, my dear brothers and sisters, how he loves you and is calling you within his arms of mercy each day to say, “Be not afraid, be not afraid, for I, your God, am all things for you and I have come to offer you my heart in peace. For I am the Prince of Peace, the Prince of Holy Love.”
Jesus, who is love and only love, shall never abandon you in your despair, your desolation, your hopelessness to bring hope, to renew your courage when you feel alone and afraid, to renew your strength, to continue to rise.
Yes, rise each day in the glory of love, to be consumed and taken by his merciful compassion and redemption into the light.
Yes, my brothers and sisters, walk into the light each day to be new creations, to be spiritual and living sacrifices, martyrs of God’s mercy, sanctified in his love to become saints for the glory of God and the hope of your salvation.
You are children of God, children of light, children of grace, to stand with dignity. For Jesus said from his Holy Cross, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Father, forgive us, for we know not what we do. But we have you, and in and through you we have all things to restore us.
Mother Teresa once said, let no pain or sorrow so overcome you that you forget the joy and hope of your resurrected Christ. He lives within us. His Spirit breathes life within us and may his merciful love always console you to bring you peace.
As he says, “I love you, I love you, I love each one of you and I shall never abandon you. Remain in me and I in you, because for man it is not possible, but for God all things are possible. Nothing is impossible for me, my little loves, and I shall be your strength and light. Hope for all in and through me for my glory.”
