Dear James,
After today's events, and Palm Sunday Mass, there was very little left for the day except a meal together. Thus, it came about - in two separate restaurants.
What they do, James, is kill love wherever they find it. The mystery of evil is the killing of love. You recognize now the means of your survival from it. That is, you love and you want to be loved. That is the means of your survival from evil. What they do, James, is they seek love in the hearts of others in order to kill it. They have killed it in their own hearts and they go in search for those who have love in their hearts and proceed to find the way to kill it. Thus, the pain of not knowing why it hurts. And it hurts so much. It is because those who love and want to be loved participate in the Crucifixion of Our Lord. And those who kill love in their own hearts and then seek to kill love in the hearts of others, are participating in the killing of Our Lord.
It is part of the division, James, between love and hate. If you have chosen love with finality you will be given love. If you have chosen love with finality, you will be loved by Him now, and for all eternity. If you have chosen love with finality you will know that you have done so and "you will live in my love if you keep my commandments, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and live in his love." (John 15:10)
What He gives to his human creatures that is called free will, He never violates. Thus, if you have chosen love with finality you have exercised that free will in you and you will receive and give that which you have chosen with finality. When you have chosen love, others see that about you and if those others have chosen hate they then proceed to find a way to kill that love in your heart.
That is free will, James. To choose love or to choose hate. If you have chosen love with finality you become removed from the world and you only seek to be in the presence of Him who is Love.
