SMALL AND GREAT THINGS

Jesus, before giving me his blessing, as he does each night, said to me:

Son, love Me greatly; remember that before Me, nothing is great and nothing is small; remember that it is precisely in small things where love for Me is demonstrated, and a most ardent love. That smile given to a person who attacks, that act of humility in the opportune moment, that act of impatience overcome by the will quickly, that generosity in responding to the impulses of my grace, that punctuality in relations with arbitrators, that knowing how to listen, (and I could continue) are small and great things that enrich and ennoble the spirit. They give Me joy, and are testimonies of an authentic love.

My son, I want you to love Me this way; you will make your Jesus happy.

He who is faithful to Me in little things, is and will be faithful to Me in great things.
