Consolation
See also: Excluded, rejected.
[…] The world cannot understand, but I find my rest with those who obey… Yes, God rests with the obedient. God would not have had to suffer, to grow tired, if disobedience had not entered the world...[1]
In “The Gospel as it was revealed to me”
- Consolation, corollary of the Mission: "All of you, too few to counterbalance the crowd of those who keep alive the rigor of God, nevertheless remain devoted to God despite the terrible threats of the present hour hanging over your heads and growing by the moment. Lay your anxiety at the feet of God. He will know how to send you His angel, as He sent the Savior to the world. Do not fear. Stay united to the Cross. It has always triumphed over the pitfalls of the demon who, through the ferocity of men and the sorrows of life, seeks to incline to despair—that is, to the separation from God—the Hearts he cannot win in any other way."[2]
- Come to Me, all of you who are afflicted.[3]
- Do you not know that the word, even a single word, from someone who is pure and from someone who loves Me takes away all my sorrow?[4]
- Jesus consoled by Eliza of Bethzur: "Oh! a mother is so necessary when the pain overwhelms the strength of man!"[5]
