God's mercy....

You all experience God's kindness and mercy, for His love is never-ending and applies to all His living creations which suffer hardship but still resist Him and therefore would actually have no right to be loved by Him.... on account of which God's mercy remembers them in their distress. He cannot be angry but only be willing to love, forgive and help.... No sin is so great that His love would not want to absolve it and only His righteousness has to maintain a certain order, in view of which God cannot make His creatures blissfully happy as long as they still openly oppose Him.... However, He does whatever it takes to overcome their antagonism, in order to then be able to give Himself in abundance.... Thus God does not condemn, even if the measure of sin is overflowing, but full of compassion He looks upon the sinner and pours endless blessings upon him, so that he will change and voluntarily turn to Him in order to find complete forgiveness with Him. For God Himself is Love, and love cannot be angry as it only ever tries to give happiness. God is a merciful Judge to every soul, i.e., forgiveness can always be expected from His side.... because His love is never-ending. Only if the soul itself objects to it then it will challenge God's righteousness.... because it is the law of eternal order that opposition renders God's love ineffective and also makes every act of compassion futile. And therefore God's greatest care only ever applies to the human being's change of will, which subsequently enables His mercy to intervene when a soul has fallen and is unable to lift itself up again on its own.... Then it will receive help which, admittedly, it does not deserve but which it will not reject either.... Then it can become blessed due to grace.... for the merciful love draws towards all wretched beings. But only He is compassionate Who knows about the endless misery of those who languish in the abyss.... And only the person who knows the fate of the fallen souls can feel compassionate, even if he is emotionally unable to assess it. Yet the knowledge of the fallen beings' wretchedness can also awaken profound compassion in him, and if he thus, in merciful love, supports these souls which are far away from God.... if he appeals to God to help these unhappy souls, then his merciful call for help can overcome the resistance in these souls, because they feel the petitioner's love and become more compliant....

For merciful love is valued very highly on God's part, it is, after all, a sign of the soul's higher maturity, a sign of a human being's true love, which can never remain ineffective. God takes pity on every soul, and everything would truly be redeemed from the abyss already were His merciful love unhesitatingly accepted.... Yet it remains ineffective as soon as it meets with resistance. Hence every state of adversity, every misery has not been imposed on the being by God but was aspired to in free will, against which even God's mercy cannot undertake anything but merely continue influencing the person's will so that he will change and clear the path for the merciful love, so that the being will allow itself to be seized and lifted up by it. Every act of Salvation is an act of compassion, because the being shall be redeemed from self-inflicted adversity.... where righteousness should impose punishment were mercy not to express itself first and make a final attempt to break the opposition.... Nevertheless, in the case of opposition even mercy will be to no avail, and then justice will consider the being according to its resistance.... God's love will never end, and this love tries to save all wretched beings, and His mercy will time and again draw down to earth and gather those who let themselves be seized by it, and no being will be able to resist His greater than great love forever, for it is very strong, and one day even the hardest heart will be melted by this strength of love, and it will voluntarily surrender to Him in free will and be eternally happy....

Amen

BOŽJE MILOSRĐE....

Svi vi iskušavate Božju dobrostivost i milosrđe, jer Njegova Ljubav je beskrajna i za sva je Njegova stvorenja koja su u bijedi, koja Mu se međutim još uvijek odupiru i zbog toga doista ne bi trebali imati nikakvo pravo na Njegovu Ljubav, stoga se milosrđe zauzima oko njihove nevolje. On se ne može razljutiti, već samo voljeti, željeti oprostiti i pomoći. Niti jedan grijeh nije toliko velik koliko bi Ljubav Njegova željela oprostiti, i samo Njegova pravednost mora zadržati jedan određen red, zbog kojega Bog ne može učiniti blagoslovljenima Svoja bića, dokle god Mu se otvoreno suprotstavljaju. Ali On čini sve kako bi raspršio njihov otpor, kako bi se zatim mogao dati u potpunosti.

Bog, stoga, ne kažnjava koliko god bila ispunjena mjera grijeha, već promatra prepun suosjećanja na grešnika i izlijeva na njega milost za milošću, sve dok se ne preobrati i svojevoljno okrene Njemu, kako bi onda također naišao na pun oprost od Njega. Jer Sâm Bog je Ljubav, a Ljubav se ne može rasrditi, već jedino gleda kako da usreći. Bog je milosrdni sudac svake duše, odnosno od Njega se može uvijek očekivati oprost, jer Njegova Ljubav je beskrajna. Samo kada se duša suprotstavlja, onda izaziva pravednost Božju, jer ona je zakon vječnoga reda, koju otpor Ljubav Božju čini nedjelotvornom i djelo milosrđa je također beskorisno.

I tako je Božja najveća briga uvijek samo za promjenom čovjekove volje, koja potom dozvoljava da bi Njegovo milosrđe moglo intervenirati, kada je duša pala i ne može se više sama podići. Onda joj je dana pomoć, koju ona ipak ne zaslužuje, ali niti ne odbija. Onda milošću može postati blažena, jer milosrdna Ljubav se naginje nad nesretnima. Ali suosjećajnost poznaje samo Onaj Koji poznaje beskrajnu bijedu onoga što vene u ponoru. I zato također i čovjek može osjetiti samilost, koji zna za sudbinu paloga, čak i kada ju ne može izmjeriti svojim čuvstvom. Ali spoznaja o nesreći paloga može probuditi u njemu jednu duboku suosjećajnost, i ako se onda posluži samilosnom Ljubavlju za te duše udaljene od Boga, ako onda zazove Boga za pomoć za te nesretne duše, onda njegovo samilosno zazivanje može slomiti otpor u tim dušama, jer osjećaju Ljubav molitelja i popustit će.

Samilosna Ljubav je veoma vrednovana od strane Boga, kako je ona znak najviše zrelosti duše, znak vjerodostojne Ljubavi u čovjeka, koja ne može nikada ostati bez učinka. Bog ima samilost za svaku dušu, i sve bi doista već bilo oslobođeno od ponora, kada bi Njegova samilosna Ljubav bila prihvaćena bez otpora. Ali ostaje neučinkovita, čim naiđe na otpor. Stoga svako stanje jada, svaka nesreća nije odaslana od Boga na biće, već vam je bila nanesena slobodnom voljom, protiv koje niti milost Božja ne može ništa poduzeti što uvijek samo djeluje u Ljubavi nad voljom bića da bi promjenio i oslobodio put milosrdne Ljubavi; da bi se biće prepustilo biti zahvaćeno i privućeno milosnom Ljubavlju. Svako iskupljujuće djelo je djelo milosrđa, jer je samoizazvana bijeda, od koje duša mora biti oslobođena, gdje pravda mora iskazati kaznu, ako se prije ne očituje milosrđe i ne učini posljednji pokušaj da slomije otpor.

Međutim, u otporu čak niti milosrđe ne može učiniti ništa, a onda pravda djeluje na biće u skladu sa otporom. Ljubav Božja nikada ne popušta i ta Ljubav gleda da spasi sve nesretne, i Njegova samilost će se prigibati uvijek nanonovo nad Zemljom i zahvatit će one koji joj se prepuste, a Njegovoj ogromnoj Ljubavi niti jedno biće ne može dugo odolijevati, jer je njezina snaga velika i pod tom Ljubavnom silom jednom će se otopiti i najtvrđe srce, i predat će se Njemu u slobodnoj volji, te biti vječno blaženo.

AMEN
