People, you who insult God with what you say and what you think in your hearts, believing you can get away with it, listen to the voice of God—a voice that is torn and heart-wrenching, now resounding throughout the entire world. There is no longer any need to foreshadow His wrath, and yet He still calls out to you, for He suffers at the very thought of having to punish you.
Gather what little love you still have left and direct it toward God. Love will forgive you for that handful of love—the remnant left after the plundering by the flesh and Satan—that you will offer to Him.
The first-fruits and all that one possesses should be consecrated to God. But since you have not been able to do this, O children who have cost Me My life, offer to the great, merciful, and almighty Lord what you still have left.
In this inner misery of yours—which is not evangelical poverty but human poverty—tear the last coin from your heart, take it away from the flesh, and give it to Me. I know that for a soul dear to Me, it costs less to sacrifice one’s life—because it is intoxicated with love—than it costs you to give up a single kiss. And for this effort of yours—which is immense compared to what you offer—I will give you a reward immeasurably greater than your gift. I will give it to you, on the condition that you come to Me.
I bless you, your Jesus.
Reflection on the Message:
In prayer, I asked the Lord to have mercy on all those who suffer because of wars and on all the evil that afflicts—and will continue to afflict—humanity if it does not return to God. Jesus, in His goodness, has given me these words so that we may all convert, asking for mercy, before it is too late and He Himself judges our sins of hatred, pride, lust, and idolatry. Jesus promises us an immense reward, provided we know how to give Him that little bit of love that still remains in our hearts. “He gave up His life for us,” He tells us, “yet we cannot even bring ourselves to give up a kiss.” Those who remain faithful to Christ will receive the greatest of all gifts: Jesus Himself. He will come to heal us, to enlighten us, and to overcome the darkness of our hearts and of the world; He will come to bring us true peace. Let us approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation more often.
