FREEDOM

God has given free will to everyone, and it is at your disposal. (01/30/1986)

From day to day, I want to lead you more and more in prayer, but I do not wish to force you. (08/14/1986)

You know that I want to lead you on the way of holiness, but I do not want to compel you to be saints by force. I wish that each one of you would help yourself and me by your little self-denials so that I can lead you closer to holiness day by day. (10/09/1986)

Dear children, you know that I love you immeasurably, and that I want each of you for myself. But God has given to all a freedom which I lovingly respect and to which I humbly submit. (11/25/1987)

Day by day I pray for you, and I want to draw you ever nearer to God; but I cannot if you do not want it. (01/25/1988)

God offers and gives himself to you. But he wants you to answer his call in freedom. (11/25/1988)

Little children, I do not wish to force you, but, freely and as children of God, give your time to God. (07/25/1989)
