For Children
May 27, 1994
R. God asks us for two things: to love Him and to love one another. People hurt and they act nastily. They need our love. They do not need us to fight with them. Jesus' way is to love. We will enter heaven on how we loved God and loved one another.
He takes care of us. We have a loving Father and a loving mother. She mothers us as she mothered Jesus. She is always by our side. Jesus is always by our side. The more I learn to love Jesus, the more I love the Father.
Sometimes our parents suffer and are upset. Pray for them. God loves little children. Unless we love like little children, we won't enter into heaven. Little children have big hearts. They are so close to Jesus.
He loves you to pray to Him. He waits for you. He is the very same Jesus Who died on the cross. He wanted to stay with you so He instituted the sacrament of the Eucharist. Jesus comes to tell you He is with you this day in church and in the Eucharist.
He would die today for you alone. He loves you this much! He loves you. He can love you and be personal with you and have love for someone else at the same time because He is God.
The love of Jesus led Him to die for you, so you could one day go to heaven. He loves you so much He died for you and gave the last beat of His Heart and the last drop of His blood for you.
He longs and waits for you to come and be with Him in Communion. He wants to be your best friend. He wants you to love Him first. Then you will love your father and mother and sisters and brothers better also.
Pray to the Holy Spirit to know and love God. The Holy Spirit will change your life if you pray to Him. He is God. He has all knowledge and He loves you.
Mary suffered, as Jesus suffered, for love of you. She has a sinless Heart. If you pray to Mary, if you love God through her Heart, she will help you to love God.
