JESUS CAME TO THE WEAK IN BODY AND THE NEEDY

I came to the world for the weak, sick and needy, because the strong did not need ME, they could find their own way, at least they thought they could. Only when they themselves went astray would they acknowledge their weakness and call on ME, when their strength was no longer enough for them to be the master of their lives. Everyone who calls upon ME, who needs ME, who is weak and sick in their souls, to all such I came to help, for through their cry to ME they express their need and hope for rescue from their ills. But you are all weak and sick, and blessed are those who admit it. And those who feel strong and healthy in themselves are indeed in a worse condition because they cannot be helped.

And many there be who believe they need no help, many there be who are convinced of their own power and treat lightly the power of him who would bring them out of their sickness and strengthen them in their arrogant faith and give them power but who expects service in return. He wants their souls and therefore gives their body what it wants.

But I am the Physician of the sick and weak, I am the Comforter of the sorrowful and the hope of the discouraged. All may come to ME and will not come in vain. I offer you all MY help even if you do not accept it immediately. In such case I understand why, and you are still not forsaken for no one calls on ME in vain who calls on ME from the heart.

Come unto ME all you who are weak and heavy laden and I will refresh you (Matt 11:28-30) I have promised you MY help and I will certainly give it to you. Always remember this when you have needs, when you feel physically or spiritually distressed, when this earthly life weighs heavy upon you and you need help. Then remember that I came to the poor, sick and weak and still come, and that I only wait for your call to reveal MYSELF to you.

I want to be called upon so that you freely acknowledge your weakness and long for ME, your Physician and Healer, that through your cry you show your faith that I can and will help you and such faith will never be disappointed.

AMEN
