Those who love their enemies have reached such a degree of communion with Me that it can be said that their hearts are part of Mine.


It is honest to love friends who help and comfort you time and again in your trials. It is honest to pray for them, to grieve over their sorrows, and to lend them a hand in their needs; all this is very honest. But children, loving your enemies is not only honest but heroic. I reward those souls who love their enemies, those who slander you, those who see nothing good in you, those who put obstacles in your way so that you will not prosper, and more, because children, those who love their enemies have reached such a degree of communion with Me that it can be said that their hearts are part of Mine. I, Jesus, speak to you.

Few are those who love their enemies, because some good Christians do not hate them, nor do they wish them ill, but to love them? To love them is almost impossible for them. And you, My children, who offend Me not once, but a thousand times a day, return to Me and be assured of My forgiveness and My love.

If My Heart were like yours, I could not love you, but the more miserable I see you, the more My mercy is moved, and I love you without taking into account the evil, the infidelities, or the resistance you have shown Me. I, Jesus, speak to you.

I loved Judas excessively even though I knew he would betray Me, and even at the last moment, I showed him My love with My gaze. It was the last look I gave him when he betrayed Me with a kiss. He could not forget it, and it filled him with remorse. My children, be as I was, perfect, loving those who do you harm. Note that I say loving, because that is what I ask of you for your enemies. I know that those of you who live Christian lives do not hate them, but I ask even more of you. I ask you to love them, to pray, to make reparation, and to ask Me for good things for them, and this is already loving them in Me. And when you have the opportunity to do them good, do not waste the opportunity to do so, because that will please Me much more than all the penances in the world. I, Jesus, speak to you.

My children, mortify your “ego,” your self-love; do not love yourselves so much; be like your Master was, with a magnanimous, great, and kind heart. See how Peter took refuge in My Mercy and became a pillar of the Church, and the same with Paul, who was one of My enemies, because true love for souls, even those who hate and attack us, that love bears great fruit in Holy Mother Church, because it is a pure and true love that has won the battle against your self-love. I, Jesus, speak to you and instruct you. My peace and that of My Holy Mother be with you all.
