Our Lord now says, “My son, the ways of men are not my ways. And peace on earth to men of goodwill. Peace to those who choose the goodwill of God my Father. Peace to those who love me and share in my heart for the love of others.

Yes, my son, the ways of men are not my ways. Which is why I am calling you to trust only in me. And by doing so, I shall guide you in my mercy. You do not truly know the hearts of men and do not take for granted the goodness of any soul. For every heart is different. And even my apostle Peter denied me three times.

For my son, if God is with you, and I your God am with you, who can be against you by loving me? For nothing else shall matter except to do so.”

‘Yes, my Lord, I understand.’

“Offer your heart to me each day and allow my love to fulfill you.”

‘I pray, Lord, to show only goodwill, to love my brothers and sisters. And as you have called me to call all souls to repent, I first repent according to your will and example for I carry the stain of Adam of original sin.’

“My son, it is those men who believe that they are good that are blindly self-righteous. So, therefore, love them with greater compassion to show them my way.”

‘Yes, my Lord.’

“My Peter said that he would never deny me. He believed in his pride himself to be good. But no man is good. Yet in my mercy, I desire to perfect them in my graces.”

‘Yes, my Lord, perfect me in your graces each day to love only you.’

“My son, by seeking me with all your heart, I shall carry you to paradise within my arms forever. And you shall be sanctified in my holy love.”

‘I praise you, my Lord, and I thank you. Take me, guide me as you desire.’
