7102 Mediator between God and worldly people.... hostility - protection....

April 25, 1958: Book 76

Only rarely will a person offer himself for work which yields no earthly profit, which is completely useless in the eyes of his fellow human beings and which nevertheless requires a strong will and eagerness to work. And only rarely will people realize that this work is important and that the salvation of countless souls can depend on it, because they need such help that strength is supplied to them through mediators.... It is therefore understandable that anyone who offers himself for such work will also receive the greatest support from Me, that countless beings of light will assist him, that everything will be done on the part of the world of light in order to support this work, in order to strengthen the human being's will and to give him the right light about the urgency of his work for Me and My kingdom.... For he will be far more influenced by the world to abandon this work, his fellow human beings will have no understanding for it and will likewise have a hindering rather than an encouraging effect on him.... And it will not be easy to nevertheless stand firm and use all his strength and be a suitable servant for Me in My vineyard. And yet, it alone is important.... and no earthly activity will earn the human being such a blessing which will only take effect in eternity. But those will bitterly regret it who wanted to hinder a vineyard labourer in his activity.... who did not recognize the value of his work and who therefore could not receive a blessing for themselves either because they still thought too earthly and cared less for their soul's salvation than for their body. But it takes great strength of faith to turn one's eyes, in the midst of worldly-minded humanity, towards the kingdom that is not of this world.... to regard this kingdom as the only real one and to use all one's strength for that kingdom, regardless of the prohibition or hostility.... It also takes a lot of love to remember the unhappy souls who lack all knowledge.... But where love and faith are present the foundations are also created for blessed vineyard work, and My servants will unswervingly follow their path which they have recognized and entered themselves as the path to the eternal home. And then they will also be able to instruct their fellow human beings correctly, to teach them what they are allowed to receive from Me Myself in order to be able to fulfil their task on earth. In the last days the gulf between such faithful servants and their fellow human beings will grow ever wider, for not many will be willing to listen to them and walk the path to Me like them.... Rather, people will make every effort to completely free themselves from the only weak ties with another world, from the belief in a responsibility and a life after death.... The gulf will become ever wider and people will believe they are doing themselves a service if they undermine My servants' activity, if they try to prevent them from gaining followers. And My servants' strength of resistance must therefore always increase the greater the hostility they are exposed to. And they will always experience this help through the supply of strength and never need to fear not being able to administer the office they have voluntarily accepted.... This is the last great help which can still be brought to people before the end, and since My servants are only the mediators between Me and those worldly people whom I want to address, they will also be able to provide the mediatorial office until the end and need not fear that the world is stronger than them.... For anyone who is in My service can also be assured that his lord will carefully watch over his house and that no-one will come to harm who serves Me.... For I alone know what is needed in the last days before the end, and I alone have the power to also protect those who serve Me and to give them the strength to persevere until the end....

Amen
