B.D.-No. 1850
Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them.... Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.... Can I give you more assurance that you will not be lonely and forsaken than through these words of Mine? I am the father of the wise, the friend of the poor, the comforter of the afflicted and the defender of all who are oppressed.... Whoever takes refuge in Me can truly be relieved of every worry. And that is why you should come to Me in every adversity and present your concerns to Me, I want to be present always and everywhere where you need Me and My help, I want to guide you on all your paths towards Me, I want to turn away suffering and turn it into joy, and thus you will not be abandoned and helpless in the suffering that I allow to come upon you as a test. I desire your hearts, I want you to unite yourselves intimately with Me, I want you to be strengthened in your faith in Me and My love in the forthcoming time of adversity.... I want you to be able to stand up for Me with full conviction, that you can represent Me before the whole world. I want My love to be revealed to you so that you feel Me close to you.... I want you to become calm in your suffering, that you devotedly and faithfully entrust yourselves to Me so that I can visibly work on you, so that you realize My power and strength, so that I live in your hearts, so that you commune with Me as with your brother, so that you do not fear but believe. For My love is greater than all adversity, My arm is stronger than danger, and what means great suffering for you will bring you a state of maturity which you can never reach otherwise. And so I call out to you: Believe, love and trust.... Become like little children who carelessly leave everything to the father because they know that His love only wants the best for His children.... And come to Me in all distress, I will help you, and you shall never call upon Me for help in vain, for I hear the prayer of those who recognize Me as their father and plead with Me in all distress....
Amen
