I wish My Son, your spiritual father, to be able to work for My glory and to set down, sentence by sentence, what I have dictated to you, so that men may find it pleasing and easy to read an account of what I wish them to know, without any additions.
Day by day I will talk to you about My wishes for men, about My joys, My sorrows, and most of all, I will show men My infinite goodness and My tender and compassionate love.
I would also like your superiors to allow you to spend your free time with Me, so that you can console Me and love Me for half an hour each day. You will thereby ensure that men's hearts, my children's hearts, are well disposed to work for the spread of this devotion which I have just revealed to you, so that you may achieve great confidence in this Father who wants to be loved by His children.
So as to permit this work to be extended among all nations as quickly as possible, without allowing those entrusted with this propagation to commit the slightest imprudent act, I ask you to spend your days in a spirit of recollection. You will be happy not to talk much to others. In your heart, even when you are among them, you will talk to Me and listen to Me.
This is what I want you to do also: when sometimes I talk to you, you will write My confidences in a special little diary. But through it I intend to talk to everyone: I live with them more intimately than a mother with her children.
Since man's creation, I have never for one moment stopped living besides him. As his Creator and Father, I feel the need to love him. It is not that I need him, but My love, as Father and Creator, makes Me feel this need to love man. Thus I live close to man, I follow him everywhere, I help him in all things, I supply everything.
I can see his needs, his toils, all his desires, and My greatest happiness lies in helping him and saving him.
Men believe Me to be a terrifying God Who is going to cast all mankind into hell. What a great surprise it will be when, at the end of time, they see so many souls they believed lost, enjoying eternal bliss among the elect!
I wish all My creatures to be convinced that there is a Father Who watches over them and Who would like them to enjoy, on earth, a foretaste of eternal happiness.
A mother never forgets the little creature she has brought into the world. Is it not even more wonderful that I remember all My creatures?
So if a mother loves the little being I gave her, I love him more than she does, because I created him. Even if it happens that a mother loves her child less because of some defect, I, on the contrary, will love him still more. She may later on forget him or think of him rarely, especially when because of his age he is no longer in her care, but I will never forget him. I will always love him, and even if he no longer remembers Me, His Father and Creator, I will still remember him and love him.
I have already told you that I want you to enjoy eternal happiness even here, on earth, but you still have not understood the real meaning of what I said, it is thus:
If you love Me and call Me by the sweet name of Father, You will begin to live, here and now, in the love and the trust which will make you happy in eternity and which you will sing in heaven in the company of the elect. Is this not a foretaste of the happiness of heaven, which will last forever?
I therefore desire man to remember often that I am right there, where he is, that he could not live if I were not with him, living just as he is. In spite of his unbelief, I always remain close to him.
Oh, how I wish to see this plan of mine realized! Until now man has never thought of giving God, his Father, the pleasure I am about to speak of : I would like to see great trust established between man and his heavenly Father, a true spirit of familiarity and delicacy at the same time, so as not to take advantage of My great goodness.
I know your needs, your desires and everything in your hearts, but how happy and grateful I would be if I saw you coming to Me and confiding in Me your needs, like a son who has total trust in his father. How could I refuse you the smallest or biggest thing if you asked Me? Even if you do not see Me, do you not feel Me very close to you in the things that happen to you and around you? How you will be rewarded, one day, for having believed in Me, even without having seen Me!

L'Star8's meditation:
“ If you love Me and call Me by the sweet name of Father, You will begin to live, here and now, in the love and the trust which will make you happy…”
We are very blessed to be able to attend mass at the local college Newman Center. Very often the pastor there gives amazing homilies and reiterates exactly what is said here. I don’t think he necessarily has read these Words from our loving Father, but he does know Him. He knows that He is mercy and His only real desire is to be intimately close to us and hearing this from a priest really helps solidify things for me and gives me experiences ( in my weak faith) that these words are true. For example the week before last, he told us about how Just He is and then he said that we should go to him in prayer and tell him all the ways in which we feel he has been unjust towards us. And I did this( because a Priest told me too:)) and there were so many graces. It opened up an incredible amount of healing and helped me deepen my relationship with Father as well as understand what direction I should take next in some personal matters that I had a great deal of confusion about.
And then, last weekend he (same Priest) talked about how he gets himself in a pickle often telling people “yes” he’ll do something... and then realizing he doesn’t really want to do it so he asked us to tell God about all the things that we’re doing in our life that we know we don’t want to do and not do those things because our heart isn’t in them and tell God that we don’t want to do those things.
I think that’s related to what I just read here in this Father section. The priest is building my trust and here God the Father is asking for me to trust him and you know when I did this, it was incredible! and gave me this amazing freedom. It gave me permission to stop doing the things I don’t want to do, no matter how essential and mandatory they had appeared to be and that then made it clear what I did want to do. This was such a huge relief. And God has really backed it up ever since. I realize there’s opposition at times ( most times) and persecution to His Will and doing good because evil just doesn’t like it. But I feel supported now no matter what happens. I realize that it’s not so much what we do but it’s that we’re in God and in His Will doing it. It’s very freeing to be a child of God. A lot of times we may feel like children emotionally but that’s not freeing. That often feels vulnerable, frightening, unstable and kind of like a Chihuahua that just can’t be calm. But true calmness and freedom happens for us when we have a clarity of conscience and a conviction. I realize this takes a lot of healing and work but it’s so worth it. Having God is worth any price and make no mistake, there is no higher price, but that is the reality of human existence since the fall of man. And being in reality and in truth safeguards us from error, chaos and confusion and allowed the Saints to suffer heroic martyrdom in peace.
