Love for love

29th January 1842

To Julie H., daughter of Ans. H.

[1] My A. H.-W.! So have a little word for which you asked Me yesterday, that is why it is closer to your heart and thus not far from Me! For My sake, would you (Julie H.) like to renounce the world and all it’s strongly attracting stimuli? Would you love Me, your dear Holy Father, rightly from all your strength, as I love you and have carried you until now on My Father-hands like "Ghemela" and "Purista"(*1) of whom you have already heard how dear they were and still are to Me?

[2] Behold, you My dear little daughter, I am still the same loving, good, holy, heavenly Father as I was then, and am now even more accessible than then. For now the gates of heaven are permanently open. But at that time they were closed. And if someone did not find Me then through an extraordinary life of his own accord and through long, mighty self-denial, then the earth was for him a terribly hard ground full of death!

[3] But now it has long since been atoned for through My blood! How easy it is now to come to Me!

[4] So you, My little daughter, want it only somewhat firmly and may love Me alone above all, as I love you above all – then I will press you still three times more intimately to My Father-heart than the two you know from the first time of mankind!

[5] Know from these words only how much I love you; so it will certainly not be difficult for you either to love Me, your good Father, above all.

[6] If you become completely faithful to Me – listen! – there I will, as indeed all the time, even well commemorate you on your name’s day and will give you a binding-band, which, if you will love Me properly, will certainly please you more than if you won the whole world!

[7] Be blessed in all love and faithfulness to Me, your dear, good, holy Father. Amen.
