God is love

I, Jesus, the Son of God, am the Son of the Love of God. My Father loves me with the perfection of His love, so much did He love the world that He has sent me, so that everyone who listens to my word and believes in me, may have everlasting life.

With the same love of my Father, I love every one of you, I remain in the love of my Father because I do his will and keep his commandments. You equally remain in my love when you keep my commandments and are faithful to my word.

My joy is the joy of my Heavenly Father, a joy which is inconceivable in terrestrial terms, overwhelming all human happiness; this joy I participate to all who open their hearts to my Spirit.

In the joy of Love, I have given my new commandment, “that you love one another as I have loved you”. I demonstrated this love by giving my life for you on the cross in order to obtain the salvation of your souls. There is no better way to prove one’s fidelity and love than to give one’s life for another person, I have given it for everyone and I expect the same from every one of you. To give one’s life for another is to extend the fire of love in charity for other human beings, charity begins with understanding, then turns into forgiveness and extends into action.

I call you to be my friends so that you may do the same things that I have done, I reveal to you my wisdom so that in it you may find your perfection.

No one comes to me by his own initiative. I call every one individually and in spiritual ways, to be converted, then to imitate me and to obtain the perfection of holiness by becoming another Christ. In all epochs of history, I elect my disciples among the chosen ones, so that they may become my apostles and produce abundant fruits in my vine.

He or she who produces fruit and permits this fruit to remain, by keeping faith, may ask the Father in my name and He will be very happy to respond.

All that I command you is that you love one another as I have loved you.
