Let yourselves be possessed by his Love.
How much Jesus loves you! For love of you, the Word of the Father became
incarnate in my virginal womb, submitted Himself to the limitations of time
and place, was born into his human life, and grew up like a flower in the
garden of my motherly love.
For love of you, Jesus knew exile during his infancy, poverty and fatigue
during his adolescence, misunderstanding and rejection during the years of
his public mission.
For love of you, He was subjected to betrayal and outrage, to judgment and
condemnation, to crucifixion and death on the Cross. How much Jesus loves
you!
Let yourselves be possessed by his Love.
'Having loved his own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.'
Above all, for love of you, Jesus has instituted the new Sacrifice and the
new Priesthood. Thus, in every part of the earth, from the east to the west,
, there may be presented to the Heavenly Father a pure offering, the
perfect Sacrifice which appeases his divine justice, which makes reparation
for all the sin of man, for the salvation and the life of the world.
And you, beloved sons, you are the priests chosen by Him, to renew
everywhere this, his Sacrifice of the new and eternal Alliance.
Let yourselves be possessed by his Love.
Do not look at your miseries; do not be discouraged by your weaknesses; do
not count your sins; do not go back over your infidelities; but let
yourselves be possessed by his Love, because the divine Charity of the
Heart of Jesus surpasses infinitely every human ingratitude.
In these last times, how many are those priests who weep over their falls,
who succumb under the forces of evil which has now been unleashed, who
yield to the enticements of a world again become pagan, and who fall under
the subtle snares of my Adversary and yours.
Beloved sons, even if there is being repeated the action of Peter who
denies, or that of Judas who betrays, or that of the apostles who flee and
abandon Jesus, open your hearts today to hope, because Jesus loves you. His
love overcomes your every human weakness.
On this, your day, let joy be great and peace profound.
With the voice of a Mother who ever assists you and leads you, consoles
you and encourages you, I invite you today to let yourselves be possessed
by his Love, so that you too may be priests according to his divine and
merciful Heart."
