When we ask You for forgiveness, O Jesus, You have already forgiven us, for You are forgiveness itself, which we felt within ourselves and then directed to You as a request.
And when we ask You with all our heart that Your will be done, You are already within us as will, and we felt Your loving will and spoke You toward You.
And when we ask You for love, You have already moved wholly and entirely into our heart, for as love You are all in All, and Your love, You, we felt within us and recognized You in our hearts and could do nothing other than ask You for You, although You were already there!

Jesus shows me the course of an intercessory prayer: the prayers find their way as rays of light directly into Jesus’ heart. From there they are reflected and, strengthened, go to the archangels and onward to the host of angels that helps and protects us. These now act with increased intensity, with Christ-forces, upon the lower and demonic soul-world as well as upon our hearts. Thus the circle closes.
Heartfelt thanks for your selfless and loving prayers, brothers and sisters. This is a great blessing, both for those who pray and those who receive. Jesus is with us.

I experience that in continuing intercession and faith in its fulfillment, the intensity of the certainty of fulfillment increases. The more often one asks and believes that Jesus actually intervenes in events and helps, the more intense and living one’s own faith becomes, alongside the divine help for one’s neighbor—that is, spiritual progress into Jesus’ heart.
Eventually, while praying, certainty that it is happening penetrates the soul. When that is the case, Jesus increasingly lives in the human being; the human will enters into God’s loving will, so that hidden and obvious miracles happen. That is the wonder of being a child at the heavenly Father’s hand and heart.
This actually and certainly happens and is true and sure and is given to every person who surrenders himself to Jesus Christ with body, soul, and heart.
Beneath this the Father places His Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, gratitude is very important. For it testifies to the child’s humility, in which it confesses that it receives everything from God and cannot exist without Him. But even more important is asking.
Why should we ask the Father for something? He knows what we need at all times. Is that not getting ahead of His grace?
God’s creatures who do not know the Father and therefore cannot address Him and ask Him for something are subject to the law. At all times they receive only what divine justice ordains for them = fate.
The believing Christian who has opened himself to the Father’s love is, because of the freedom of will necessary for divinizing the soul, largely left free in receiving the gifts of life, besides receiving the fundamental and elemental gifts of existence and the necessary conditions arising from cause and effect. That means he should and can ask the Father for something, and only then does the Father become active and give Himself as a divine gift to the child or to the person for whom grace was requested.
Thus the humble freedom of asking on the part of a child of God includes receiving extraordinary gifts of grace from the heart of our heavenly Father, which can only then be experienced and lived. So too His special and personal guidance and protection.
In our childlike surrender and love to, in, and toward Jesus Christ, miracles can therefore happen; the Father can act with light and love in, through, and out of us here on this dark Earth.
But since we do not always know whether our request is perfectly right and just, we should trustingly conclude every prayer with: ‘Dear Father, but at all times let Your will be done.’

Dear brothers and sisters, when blessing, it truly depends on Jesus’ presence. To the extent that our heart is open to Him and thereby His heart is open for us and within us, and He is thereby spiritually present to us, to that same extent His divine will acts in and through us.
If we still stand more or less in blind faith and are therefore not aware of God’s presence, we usually base our praying and blessing on weak hope and confidence heavily weighted with intellect. This blessing does not yet contain the power of faith that ‘can move mountains.’ Yet even here the Father already does His part, so that an effect comes about that begins immediately in the spiritual world and usually only at a later time in the material world. Since this blessing contains a learning process, we should do it regularly until it becomes as necessary and important to us as breathing. In this awareness we are already workers in the vineyard of the Lord.
First we bless every person we meet with: ‘May Jesus’ love be with you.’
In the course of time these words shed their leaves, or unveil themselves, so that one day their divine essence reveals itself and we no longer speak merely words, but touch our fellow human beings without the verbal shells, that is, with the pure love within and from them—and of course animals and nature as well. This blessing, borne by the spirit of God, is already penetrated by certainty and bears divine fruit. The Father takes our good will and earnestness in doing this as an occasion to draw ever nearer to us and penetrate us with His spirit. He makes Himself present in our hearts.
As the spirit of Jesus fills a person more and more, at times one becomes intensely conscious of His presence. One knows that Jesus is present and that He is the One who heals and blesses, while one is His divine instrument. In intercessory prayer and blessing He touches Himself from the heart of His child to the heart of the one being blessed and takes His child along with Him. For the child of God this event is reality and divine self-evidence, within which it can then work miracles for the world and in the world.
Finally Father and child become One in love. A blessing, because one heart, one will, one life. This is what the heavenly Father wants to make possible for us. Yet it is a process requiring endurance and patience. Depending on the child’s longing and desire, this lofty goal can be realized at least in part already within one earthly life. That is why we have come here; this is our primary goal: in love for God, to become a blessing for all people.

Our Father
I wake with a smile, for I belong to Jesus.
I get up with joy in my heart,
for I get up for Jesus.
With seeing and compassionate eyes I go
through the day. This unique, unrepeatable day.
For never again will I walk over this Earth as I do now.
Never again will my love be able to grow as it can now.
This earthly life is unique for all eternity.
And it remains for all eternity.
In the evening I sit down together with Jesus
and we look over the day.
He penetrates with love everything I have done.
He forgives my mistakes in an intimate embrace.
Confidence and security accompany me into sleep.
Thank You, dear Father, thank You.
