Message from Our Lady Queen of Peace to Edson Glauber in Jerusalem, Israel

Peace be with you!

Dear children, I come from heaven bringing in my arms the peace of your lives and the peace of all humanity.

Here is my Divine Son Jesus. He is the Prince of Peace. His love is very great, my children. Allow my Son to heal your hearts and souls with his love. Little children, I ask you: do you love my Son? Do you love my Son deeply? Do not sin anymore. Do not offend him any more. Love one another and spread your love to your brothers.

I desire to take your hearts in my hands, so that I can place them inside the Heart of my Divine Son. Pray, pray the rosary for the world and for peace. Offer your prayers to the Almighty, begging him for peace for you and for all mankind.

Have faith. Have faith. Have faith. He who believes can do great things in God's name, just as the apostles of my Son did.

I, your Mother, in the name of my Son, send you to take his love to your families and to all the places that need his grace and light. Courage. Witness God's wonders and graces to all who need his love. I am with you and

I bless you: in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!

Before leaving, Our Lady said something very important:

Whoever loves already experiences Paradise in this world, because in heaven one lives only by love. Whoever does not love will never be happy!

This reveals the authentic and original face of the commandment of love and perfection, to which it is directed: it is a possibility opened to man exclusively by grace, by God's gift, by his love. On the other hand, precisely the awareness of having received the gift, of possessing in Jesus Christ the love of God, generates and sustains the responsible response of a total love for God and among brothers and sisters, as the apostle John insistently reminds us in his first Letter: "Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows it. He who does not love, does not know God, for God is love (...) Beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another (...) We love him, because he first loved us" (1Jn 4:7-

8.11.19).

This indivisible connection between the Lord's grace and man's freedom, between gift and duty, was expressed in simple and profound terms by St. Augustine when he prayed thus, "Da quod iubes et iube quod vis" ( give what you command and command what you will).

The gift does not diminish, but reinforces the moral demand of love: "His commandment is this, that we believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he commanded us (1 Jn 3:23). One can "abide" in love only on condition that one keeps the commandments, as Jesus says: "If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love" (Jn 15:10). (Encyclicals of John Paul II, Veritatis Splendor, 24, p.771-772 - St. Paul: Paulus, 1997)
