cenacle with the priests and faithful of the mmp.
beloved children, how jesus loves you.
his divine heart is a furnace of most ardent love for you.
for love of you, the word descended from the bosom of the father to my virginal motherly womb and was made man.
for love of you, jesus lived a life which was humble, poor, hidden and spent in prayer and in work.
for love of you, jesus took upon himself suffering, humiliation and marginalization.
for love of you, jesus became the man of sorrows and offered himself as a victim on the cross.
for love of you, he allowed himself to be condemned, mocked, tortured, crucified and killed.
for love of you, he rose again and ascended into heaven, where he is seated at the right hand of the father.
for love of you, jesus remains ever present in your midst in the state of a victim in the sacrament of the eucharist.
for love of you, he has even given you his mother.
oh my poor children, so tried in this time of the great tribulation, if you knew how the heart of jesus loves you.
jesus loves you and in return receives from you ingratitude, indifference and lack of response.
jesus loves you and you live as though he did not exist.
jesus loves you and, in the eucharist, throbs with love for you and you leave him alone, abandoned, surrounded by a great void and so much unbelief.
never before as in these stormy times is it so true that love is not loved.
and so, allow your heavenly mother to form you to love, to make you grow in love, to lead you each day along the road of perfect love.
only in this way will my immaculate heart be able to triumph.
only in this way will you be able to illuminate the earth, with the sun of divine love, who will in the end succeed in driving away all darkness, so that the new era of the civilization of love will at last be able to shine forth resplendently upon the world.
