KNJIGA ŽIVOTA... SAŽETE ZAPOVIJEDI...

Svaki minut tvog života Gospodar pušta da prođe odlučujući za vječnost... Sve što činiš i misliš, zabilježeno je u Knjizi života, stoga ti moraš budna duha uvijek paziti na to da ispuniš stranicu po stranicu ove Knjige dobrim djelima i dobrim mislima... za sve tvoje djelovanje i postupke ti si odgovorna... no, ukoliko ovo uvijek odgovara Božjoj volji, onda će neočekivano blaženstvo biti nagrada tvojim djelima i tvom hodu na Zemlji. Stoga obrati pažnju: Ne dopusti nikada da tvoj bližnji uzalud pita (moli), nego daj, i ispuni svaku molbu koja dotakne tvoje uho, koliko god je to tebi moguće... Ne smatraj nijednog čovjeka malenim, ma koliko niskog stanja (položaja) on bio, i daj mu poštovanje koje mu pripada pred Bogom... Budi tvojemu bližnjemu savjetnik u tjelesnoj i duhovnoj nevolji, kada on luta na svom životnom putu, ili teško pronalazi Boga Gospodara... Uvijek im od srca oprosti zlo koje su ti učinili, i ne smjeraj na osvetu, budući nju čini jedino Gospodar, vi međutim trebate ljubiti čak i vaše neprijatelje... Ostani ponizna u srcu, i uvijek prepoznaj beskrajnu veličinu i Ljubav nebeskog Oca, Koji se prigiba najsićušnijim bićima Stvaranja, pa i tebi, kako bi te privukao Sebi... Ostani povezana u najintimnijoj Ljubavi s tvojim nebeskim Stvoriteljem, i preklinji Ga za Njegovu milost i Njegov blagoslov na svim tvojim životnim stazama, tako da ti kroz to naraste snaga da budeš aktivna prema Njegovoj volji... Vježbaj se u blagosti, u miroljubivosti i u milosrđu, jer jedino kroz to možeš postati Božje dijete, i kao takva, biti sposobna čuti glas Gospodara... Prepoznaj kako sve oko tebe treba izbavljenje, i budi spremna pomoći gdje se radi o otvaranju srca za Spasenje, koje dolazi jedino iz Božje Riječi... Sjeti se sa svom Ljubavlju umrlih, koji se poput tebe bore za savršenstvo... Daj im kroz molitvu potrebnu snagu i podršku koju oni trebaju... Sve ovo te može dovesti u jedno duhovno stanje, da se djelovanje Gospodara vidljivo očituje na tebi, jer samo onome tko može primiti Božansku milost u svoj punini, budući je on sebe učinio dostojnim toga, bit će i dodijeljena milost vidljivog djelovanja Gospodara... kada Gospodar može uzeti prebivalište u srcu, koje je Ljubav za Boga i za bližnje tako raznoliko oblikovala, da stranice Knjige života bilježe uvijek jedino plemenita i dobra djela i misli. Gospodar će izbrisati krivnju ili izvršiti naknadu, već prema tome da li se zemaljsko dijete okrenulo prema Njemu ili od Njega... Zato nastojte sebe doraditi gdjegod možete, i hodati Gospodaru ugodno putem na Zemlji, tako da ne budete suđeni, nego da imate vječni život.

AMEN

Book of Life.... Summarizing Commandments....

The Lord lets every minute of your life pass you by in a way decisive for eternity.... Everything that you do and think is recorded in the Book of Life, so you must always be mindful to fill page after page of this book with good works and good thoughts.... you are responsible for all your actions and deeds.... but if this always corresponds to the will of God, then an undreamed-of bliss will be the reward of your deeds and your walk on earth. Therefore pay attention:

Never let your neighbor ask in vain, but give and fulfill any request that touches your ear as far as you can.... Respect no man, however lowly he may be, and give him the respect due to him before God.... Be a counsellor to your fellow man in physical and spiritual need, if he goes astray on his path of life or finds it difficult to come to God the Lord.... Always forgive them from your heart what they do to you, and do not think of retribution, because the Lord alone is doing this, but you shall love your enemies as well....

Remain humble in heart, and always recognize the infinite greatness and love of the Heavenly Father, which is inclined towards the smallest beings of creation - including you - to draw you to Himself.... Remain united in deepest love with your heavenly Creator, and beg Him in prayer for His grace and His blessing on all your paths of life, so that you may grow in strength to be active according to His will....

Practice gentleness, peaceableness and mercy, for only through these can you become a child of God and as such be able to hear the voice of the Lord.... Recognize how everything around you longs for salvation, and be ready to help where hearts need to be opened for the salvation that comes from the Word of God alone.... Commemorate with all love the deceased, who - like you - are striving for perfection.... Give them through prayer the strength and support they need....

All this can bring you into a state of mind that the Lord's work on you is visibly expressed, because only those who can receive Divine grace in all it's fullness - because they make themselves worthy of it - will also receive the grace of the visible work of the Lord.... if the Lord can sojourn in a heart that has formed the love for God and fellow man in such a way that the pages of the Book of Life record only ever noble and good deeds and thoughts. The Lord will cancel the guilt or avenge, depending on whether the earthly child has turned to Him or not.... Therefore seek to ennoble yourselves where you can, and to walk the way on earth pleasing to the Lord, that you may not be judged, but have eternal life....

Amen
