The Time After Pentecost
toward one’s neighbor; that is, the love of one’s neighbor in whom one saw Christ. “As long
as you did it to one of these My least brethren, you did it to Me.” The love of neighbor is an
expression of our love for Christ. We love Christ to the extent that we love our neighbor, in
whom we see Christ. We oppose Christ if we oppose our neighbor. If we show coldness, injustice,
harshness, or a lack of charity toward our neighbor, we show it to Christ. It is our charity
that will decide our fate.
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away” (Gospel).
Whatsoever you have done to one of My brethren, or have neglected to do with regard to
them, you have done it to Me.
Prayer
Be propitious, O Lord, to our supplications, and . . . turn all our hearts unto Thee, that being
delivered from earthly desires, we may pass on to heavenly desires. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen. (Secreta.)
