“The King will reply “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine, you did for Me.”(Matthew 25:40)
Love means immersion. Using our gifts to pull everyone we can into His precious light. Sometimes we have to “kiss the leper” if we want to be true to His word. Every minute of every day. Not next week when the authorities allow us to emerge from some imposed form of isolation, but here and now. The world is always going to change around us, but Our Lord and His love are with us for public consumption 24/7. He has called us as his agents of distribution, and His supply chain is unlimited. It’s up to us to break the ties that bind us, and to not only allow His love to prosper, but to facilitate it. Our churches may feel that they’re subject to an authority more important than God, and when that happens, we have to defer to God Himself, because in the end, it’s Him and us. Jesus’ cross becomes ours to bear, and as Jesus knew and experienced, “authority” is not always an ally. In fact in my experience, authority tends to be hostile to Jesus, and when our fellow Christians yield to an authority other than Our Lord, it becomes our task to keep His love and light alive in spite of authoritarian barriers. It is up to us as individuals to be His church, and to bring the poorness that exists in ourselves into the light as we lift others. We are His Church, and we are His people. His love can only come through us. In His all knowing perfection. Totus Tuus.❤️🙏
As told to Gianna Talone Sullivan, July 19, 1992, I am your Jesus of Mercy Vol IV
The Poor
“My dear one, today I would like to speak of the poorest
of the poor. You live in a society of people who should
live together in love, in union of harmony and in peace, but it
is not that way. My people are poor, poor in spirit: lacking the
charitable gifts; searching for the touch of love, acceptance,
and the thirst for truth, peace, harmony. Even My people who
have the gift of more than others are poorer than the poor.
First, look to your own family. Look in-house to your
brothers and sisters. See how poor they are and charitably give
yourself. Forgive and accept with love. Remember the way of
My Mother! Follow Her way, and She will lead you into the
wounds of My Heart where My mercy exits. Her way, again, is
to listen, to assist, to love and to pray. If you begin, thus, first
with your own sisters and brothers, then you can tend to the
poor existing outside your walls. Then identify yourself with
the poor of My people you serve, because you are as poor!
Share the wonder of My love. Remember what I have
taught you. Your vocation is not your career or profession in
life. Your vocation is that you belong to Me!
My people are losing their human dignity. My people are
poor, and lack the desire to utilize their gift of faith. Serve My
people. Give to them yourself! Give to them a humble heart
of love. Do not try to escape this path of love to the least of
Mine, for you strip your own humanity of dignity, which will
ultimately return, henceforth, back to you. Learn from one
another. Seek the face of God and adore Him in all. My people
live for and by monetary means. I tell you to live for, by and
through Me!! Give wholeheartedly of yourself. My people
today are becoming poorer and poorer.
Please! Please, My dear people, you are all suffering. I
have many lovers for My heavenly kingdom, but few who
are willing to bear My Cross and serve the needs of others,
especially My poorest of poor in the poverty of love. Do not
choose whom you would prefer to love, to serve; but, without
prejudice, serve and love all because, whether they acknowl-
edge My love or not, I exist in and amongst them.
Only those who willingly condemn My love through their
last breath condemn their own soul.
My love is enduring, and saves up until your last breath.
Therefore, My beloved, begin to love at home, and it will be
easier to love the outside. The more you love your family and
all those you meet in your life, the more deep will be your
love for Me. For you cannot say you love Me, and then not
show this same love for My people. ALL ARE OF ME. If you
love Me, you will love them, regardless of sin.
Peace to you, My dear people. I love you. Do you love Me?
Then come to Me by loving Me through loving one another.
and restore your humanity’s dignity. Be no longer poor, be
the richness of life’s breath through love!! Ad Deum.”
