5417 Preaching the gospel to the poor souls....

June 21, 1952: Book 60

Present the gospel to the poor souls by means of your thoughts.... You don't know what beneficial effect you can have on those who entered the kingdom of the beyond imperfectly, for what they did not accept on earth has to be brought close to them in the beyond so that they might decide to accept it and thus their development can increase. They must learn to believe, for without faith there is no progress on the other side.... But whether they still remember what they refused to believe depends on their degree of love, on the works of love which still secure them some knowledge and realization. Then it will also be easier to present the gospel to them in such a way that they accept it and thereby come to believe in Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer. But it is far more difficult to impart the knowledge of truth to complete ignorant souls, for they have to be introduced from the start, so to speak, because they lack all basic truths, because they cannot remember anything they were told on earth about God. Their unkind way of life has robbed them of all memory of the divine teaching of love, of Christ's act of salvation and of the human being's task, and therefore they have to proceed with utmost love, again and again the souls have to be reminded that they can only become blissfully happy if they believe in God, Who embodied Himself in Jesus Christ, Who died for people in order to redeem them from the bondage which was the result of sin.... They need to be faced with the fact that only love helps them to believe that, on the other side too, they will have to help the suffering souls, that they have to practice mercy and can call upon Jesus Christ for strength to do so, Who alone can free them from their wretched situation.... This is a work of love for the poor souls which is highly credited to you, for the hardship is great and only love can remedy it.... Therefore remember often your loved ones who have preceded you, help them by sending loving thoughts after them, by talking to them in your thoughts and informing them of what you know, you who truly believe in Jesus Christ and thereby have the right knowledge.... Share with them the knowledge you receive from above and don't leave them in their distress, they will thank you eternally for it and also help you if you are in earthly distress.... For only love redeems, only love gives strength to souls which are incapable of helping themselves due to their complete lack of strength and who therefore depend on your love, which you can give to them in the form of mental instructions and heartfelt intercession and which will never remain without success....

Amen
