- Help me, Lord 

 not to be separated from You, from Your Love.

+Ask and do not give up.  Control your thoughts.  Reject every one that does not lead to Me.  Keep asking and don't stop.

 Watch over your words and deeds - give them to Me and ask about My will.

 Realize that everything you see, is Mine.  Recommend everything and everyone to Me.  Caress Me in your soul and look at the Less and tell Me tender words and share what you live in every moment.  Share with Me so that I can share with you.  So that we can penetrate each other.

- It's more difficult than a sacrifice behind cloistered walls, in an enclave of purity (and) than dressing human wounds in the dirt of the world.

+Therefore more valuable.

 We must dry the mud of the world with the heat of love from the heart with hands raised to the Father.

 I want to use your heart more than your hands.

 - You assign me a priestly task.

+Everyone in whom I live, is a priest and should be so as My will leads him.

 Priesthood is not only about administering the sacraments, celebrating and teaching.  It's much more than that.  It is the purity of heart and the fire of love - greater than all the dirt and hatred in the world.  It is I in you: Merciful Love crucified for the salvation of the world.

 Lightning connects Heaven and Earth, and illuminates and awakens.  This is what My words are for you.

 Each of My disciples must go through My entire life, from birth in poverty, through danger, exile, submission, anointing, purification, apostolate, martyrdom - to death for love.

 There is no true apostolate without what came before and without readiness for what came next.

 My power, which is a gift for apostolation,  is located in your life like the charisms that I used in the context of my entire life on earth.

 Do not delude yourself that you can receive My power, by rejecting all the rest.

 Now the time is shortened, but nothing has been omitted or reduced.

 There is greater saturation and intensity over time.

 Your heart's fervor in love and devotion must also be greater.

 Rev 2:1-6 |  Letter to the Church in Ephesus

- You showed me so much evil today...

+You need to know what the world looks like and see the need for sacrifice and purification.

 - The burden of this rested on me.  I'm very tired.

 +This is also your sacrifice - torment in everyday life.

 You are with Me: I am taking you around to show you what is, so that you can bear the evil of the world with Me.

 - I mustn't run away from it, hide, close my eyes and heart?

+No, child.  I am sending you - be in this and be pure and holy with My purity and My holiness.

- I can't pray today, Jesus.  I would like to cry out all the pain and misery in the world...

+ Continue to offer yourself...

 - ...either leave here or go into this misery like the Missionaries of Charity and bandage the ulcers of evil.  And I have to remain helpless here.

+ Persevere in your offering and do not feel sorry for your pain.

 For many years I lived in Nazareth, subject to the laws of the world and mute in the face of suffering and evil.

 And My Mother lived like this all the time and all she could do was offer everything.  Do you think this is not enough?

 Remain in constant contemplation of the Father like a Carmelite nun and be in the misery of the world like the Missionary of Charity.  This was the way of My Mother and this is your calling of daily self-sacrifice.

 - On Thursday, two of us prayed for a sick person who had a painful leg condition that made it difficult to walk.  While praying, she felt a sharp flow, like electricity.  Now he feels good and does not need to undergo further treatment.

 I know at what moment Your power flowed.  Or so?

+You know.  And you also know what the condition of your heart should be for the flow of My power to occur.

 - Your grace fell on me every time I stood before You in complete helplessness, purity of intention and devotion, not even asking for much - only with a timid desire.

+Childlike purity and loving devotion are needed.  If you could be so united with Me, My truly great power would flow through your heart.

 Wish it and ask for it - I want to help you and others through you.

 - Make me your tool.  Don't let vanity and pride destroy me...

+However, you must give maximum effort on your part.  Purity of heart and love are the conditions.

 - The first commandment...

+ Everything is contained in the first commandment: all power and all graces available to man.

 And I want to give a lot to everyone.

 Remain, My child, always in great devotion.  Remain in My Love with all childlike trust.  Don't ever be an adult.  Human adulthood closes the access to My graces.

 The smaller and more helpless a child you are, the more clearly I will act through you.  And don't regret your imperfection.

 Cling with all your strength to your Father who loves you and wants to carry you in his arms.

 The secret of holiness is so simple.

 - Is it allowed to be happy then?

+Yes.  But don't praise - don't even mentally attribute anything to yourself.

 It is not your skills or virtues that heal - only My power and My Love.

 We should rejoice in the joy of the one who has received grace, and show gratitude and admiration to the One who gave it.

 - Given Your great graces, there is a great temptation to pride.

+The intensity of temptations increases with the intensity of favors, and this generally remains in balance.  That is why your humility and full mobilization of internal forces are always needed to stick to it.  You must not allow yourself any rest.  Watch - I said - don't stop...

- I am asking you for suffering and you don't give it.  But you gave me another test that exposed my tendency to evil and disobedience to you.

+ I showed the weak places of your faith and your love.

 In difficult and surprising situations, your first instinct should be to turn to Me, and your next impulse should be your human action, full of peace and love.  Peace and Love I would give if you turned your heart to Me.

 If you relied on your weakness, it revealed itself and allowed evil to gain access to your heart.

 Powerlessness and sin brought you to Me.  And you see that nothing bad actually happened to you, even though you expected it.

 - (For over an hour, water poured from the ceiling in many places in the room and the kitchen, because there was a central heating failure upstairs and the ambulance did not come.

 And there are no traces.)

+ My hand was on guard all the time.  It's always like that and it will always be like that - remember that.

 I want you to be resistant to surprising situations.  I want to teach you patience, self-control and peace of heart.

 You asked Me for this, and I want to teach you this.  So be careful not to be surprised again.  You can give Me physical suffering and you are submissive - so you do not need such tests, and the time has not yet come for sacrifice.

 I'm not angry with you because you're a good kid, but I'm teaching you.

 Draw conclusions from every situation and be wise and loving - devoted to Me forever.
