RAZMIŠLJAJTE ČESTO O TRENUTKU UMIRANJA

Reći ću vam jedno, svakog dana se preostalo vrijeme [[vašeg života na ovoj zemlji]] skraćuje, vrijeme milosti, kada možete raditi i stvarati po vlastitoj volji, će uskoro biti završeno. Zato sva vaša djela i ostvarenja moraju uvijek i jedino biti za spasenje [[ili 'usmjerena ka spasenju']] vaše duše, vi morate jedino o tome razmišljati, stvari od ovog svijeta [[ili 'svjetovne stvari']] morate ostaviti iza sebe. Jer, kada se brinete za spasenje vaše duše sve što vam je [[ili 'će vam biti']] potrebno, će vam biti dano, isto će te primiti bez vaših vlastitih napora. Način na koji trenutno/sada živite, razmišljajući samo o zemaljskim stvarima a ne o činjenici da će vaš život uskoro završiti, uvelike ugrožava spasenje vaše duše.

Vaš životni stav je pogrešan, razmišljate samo o dobrobiti vašeg tijela. A čak i ako se pred svijetom predstavljate kao Kršćani vi ne živite sa Kristom, Koji želi biti i ostati vaša vječna radost, i Koji se sa vama može ujediniti jedino ako živite u Ljubavi.

Vi previše živite u ljubavi prema sebi jer sve o čemu razmišljate je kako unaprijediti vaš životni standard. Previše težite tome da udovoljite svome tijelu. A da li razmišljate o potrebama vaše duše, i njezinom napretku [[ili 'blagostanju']]? Vi znate da na ovoj Zemlji nećete ostati vječno, da možete biti 'pozvani' već sutra. Što vas čeka sa druge strane [[u duhovnom svijetu]] ovisi o stanju vaše duše.

Jer sve što tijelo posjeduje [[ili 'sve tjelesno']] je prolazno, i čovjek to mora ostaviti iza sebe u svijetu [[kada bude napuštao ovaj svijet]]. Prema tome, svaki napor koji se tiče samo tijela je uzaludan. A duša, bilo kako bilo, stoji siromašna i bijedna na kapijama Vječnosti.

Ljudi bi trebali više razmišljati o stanju svoje duše, razmišljati više o trenutku svoje smrti, i vjerovati kako će vrijeme Milosti, koje im je bilo dano tako da se mogu promijeniti, uskoro proći.

Svaki dan može vašoj duši donijeti bogatstava samo ako ga živite na ispravan način, kada činite djela ljubavi, [[kada]] zračite Ljubav i dobrotu prema vašem bližnjem, [[kada]] pomažete tamo gdje je pomoć potrebna. Kada se u molitvi ujedinite sa vašim Ocem u Vječnosti, i kada obnovite pravu vezu sa Njime kao dijete sa Ocem.

To ne mora biti žrtva. Zasigurno možete živjeti bogobojazan život [[ili 'život koji se Bogu sviđa']], ali morate češće misliti o Njemu, a ne isključivo na stvari od ovog svijeta. Morate uvijek imati na umu kako je sve što vam ovaj svijet nudi prolazno. Ali da bi od Boga primili nešto što možete zvati [[ili 'što se može nazvati']] duhovnim blagom, vi se morate ujediniti sa Njime i ostati [[tako]] ujedinjeni kroz molitvu i djela Ljubavi.

Od vas se ne traži previše, ali vi će te bez ovog intimnog kontakta uvijek biti siromašni dok će vaša duša, u vremenu vaše smrti, biti u jadnom stanju. Ipak, ništa vam se ne može dati što sami ne postignete/ostvarite. Stoga vas se jedino može upozoriti i savjetovati da kroz ovaj život ne idete bez razmišljanja, već da uvijek razmišljate o trenutku vaše smrti kada će te morati dati izvještaj o tome kako ste živjeli vaš zemaljski život, za dobrobit vaše duše.

Razmišljajte o usavršavanju vaše duše i težite k tome, i uvijek će te primiti pomoć, [[samo]] ako Bogu ukažete kako Mu iskreno želite prići, i onda zauvijek ostati sa Njime. Tada će se vaša duša pokazati dostojnom.

AMEN

Think often about the hour of death....

Let it be said to all of you that every day the time you have left until the end is getting shorter.... that the time of grace, in which you can work and create after your own will, will soon be over. All your work and activity should only just relate to the salvation of your souls, you should only consider your souls and put aside all worldly things, for when you take care of your soul's salvation everything else you require will be given to you, so that you would nevertheless be maintained without your own effort. But your soul's salvation is in great danger by living your earthly life as you do now.... by only paying attention to worldly things and forgetting that your lifetime will soon be over. You keep going with the wrong attitude and just consider your body, even if you want to present yourselves to the world as 'Christians'.... You do not live with Christ, Who is and wants to remain your eternal salvation, but Who can only be united with you if you live a life of love.... You still love yourselves too much, for all you think about is to improve your standard of life; you just try to please your body....

But do you consider your soul and what it needs to become blessed? After all, you know that you will not stay on earth forever, that you can be called away even tomorrow, and that then only the state of your soul will determine the fate that is awaiting it in the kingdom of the beyond. Then all the things the body had owned and the person will have to leave behind in this world will be worthless. Then all efforts for the sake of the body and its comfort will have been futile, but the soul stands poor and needy at the gate of eternity.... If only you humans would bear the soul's unhappy state in mind, if only you would seriously think more often about your hour of death, and if only you would believe that the short time of grace you were given as a reprieve in order to change will soon be over....

Every day can bring riches to your soul if you live fully in the right way, if you do kind deeds, if you radiate love and kindness to your fellow human beings and help where your help is required; if you make contact with your eternal Father in prayer, if you establish the right relationship with Him like a child with its father.... It need not be a sacrifice for you, you can truly lead a God-pleasing life, yet you have to think of Him more often, you should not exclusively spend your thoughts on the world and its demands, you must always realise that everything the world can offer you is transient, but that everything which comes from God will last forever.... And in order to receive something from God which you can keep as a spiritual treasure, you will have to establish a connection with Him and remain in contact through prayer and loving actions.... Not much is asked of you but without this heartfelt bond you will always remain poor, and at the time of death your soul will be very deprived and miserable....

And yet, it cannot be given anything that it has not acquired itself.... For this reasons you humans can only ever be warned and admonished not to walk through life irresponsibly but always think about the hour of your death, when you have to give account of how you have utilised your earthly life for the benefit of your souls.... Take stock of yourselves, think things over and strive towards the maturity of your soul, and you shall always receive help if only you verify to God your good will of coming closer to Him in order to one day being allowed to stay with Him completely once your soul has become worthy of it....

Amen
