“My dear friend, peace be with you; my peace I give you, that you may shine as light in the world, carrying out all my commandments, as my disciple. Remember, I am with you, always, to help you and to guide you.
- You must put Love first, in all that you seek to do – all that you strive to achieve, as one who has been entrusted with the affairs of others.

- Be obedient to the commandments of Love, who has put you in the position, in which, you now find yourself and which accords you authority over others, who are your fellow human beings.
- Be humble, ,always, in discharging your duties, as a good servant of Love ought to be; never arrogating powers to yourself, for your own selfish interests, or seeking to take glory for what Love has helped you to achieve. For you are only representing Love in the capacity, in which, you have been called to serve; and as, without Love, you are nothing, at all.
- Be patient, in dealing with all those who work with you and under you, and strive to inspire them, without intimidation and bearing grudges, to attain greater heights of service to Love and to mankind, by imbibing good virtues – shunning all vices and all tricks of the devil.
- You must lead, always, by showing good example to others, so that, they, for their part, can follow your footsteps with confidence and trusting, too, in joyful hope, to see the mercy of Love shine in their lives. Otherwise, you will be held accountable, if they fall by the wayside, or go astray.
- Pray to Love to guide you, always, as He guides every step that you take; and to protect you and all those, whom you lead, from the snares of the enemy and his forces of darkness, seeking those to destroy.
- As you serve Love, in spirit and in truth, serve all those, who have been entrusted to you, with unselfish love and without fear or favour, and as, you must remain eager to do good for the benefit of all mankind.
- Work for peace in the world, in your community and, also, for it to reign in all hearts; and let compassion and justice, that are engrained in the truth of Love, inspire all your words and deeds.
- With true wisdom that comes from Love to guide you in making decisions of whatever kind, listen to what others have to say, concerning the conduct of the affairs that you deal with as a leader, whether, they come as criticisms or mere suggestions, and regardless of the fact, also, whether, they are made by friends or foes.
- Focus, always, on what you are called to do, as a leader, and not being easily distracted and carried away by other things; and strive to do your duties ever-more to the best of your ability, honestly and with integrity and sense of purpose; and do not allow your detractors to lure you into their own ways of doing things.
- Let your trust in Love Almighty, who leads you and helps you in all that you do, as you worship Him and obey His commandments, shine forth as a blazing fire to bring salvation to all those around you.

GOOD COUNSEL FOR WIVES
STORY WISE, CHRIST EMPOWERED
Do you want to be a good wife; one, who is fulfilled and joyous in the pursuit of what you have been called to do? You can learn a great deal from our Story, through the power, inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit of Love Divine, what the world cannot give.
Here, now, thus, is our Story Divine, Jesus of the Easter splendour, reaching into your heart, blessed wife, to enlighten you, from the abundance of his good counsel.
“My dear child, peace be with you; my peace I give you, that you may shine as light in the world, carrying out all my commandments, as my disciple. Remember, I am with you, always, to help you and to guide you.
- You must strive to know Love and put Him above all things. For He, the Lord Love, who created you and the whole universe, and all things visible and invisible, is a jealous Love.
- In your heart and in your soul, you must nurture and cultivate the fear and the love of Love Divine, to guide you into His holy presence.
- Worship Love with your whole heart and with your whole soul, and as, that is what pleases Love – and He will bless you and your family, with all that you need: For it is from Love alone, that all good things come.
- Pray to Love in good and bad times, without ceasing, and always with a thankful heart – thanking Him, who is your Love, for all what He has been doing for you and your husband; and, as well as, for all those who are dear to both of you: thanking Him for everything; for His blessings and favours; and for His mercy and love, even when things seem to be so very difficult and painful and hard to comprehend, for all things, as Scripture says, work together for good.
- Be obedient and submissive to your husband, as that is what pleases Love in your life, as a wife. Love Divine, wants to see true love, flowing from your heart to reach into his heart; and as. It flows, also, from his heart to reach into your heart. For both of you are one, and you are to love one another, without creating barriers – sharing happy moments, always, and being helpful, too, to one another.
- Learn to be patient and to persevere with everything that concerns your marriage. For you must do everything in your power, to preserve your marriage. Continue to pray to Love concerning the odds that you face in your marriage – the difficulties, that confront you, midday and midnight, dusk and dawn. Love, who knows everything, is aware of your situation. He loves you, and he wants you to follow His way of righteousness: For in that same situation that you find yourself, Love’s purpose is for you to work out your salvation. As nothing is as important as for you to gain eternal life – and in life, you are called to make sacrifices. Still, in your suffering and difficulties, cry out to God, and ask Him, to help you, and to heal you and your husband. For everything is possible to Love.
- Take care of your home, and keep it clean and tidy, as a family dwelling place should be – breathing comfort, peace and happiness; and invite God, in words and deeds, ,to come and dwell, there, with you and your family.
- According to what is available to you at your disposal, always, strive to cook decent meals, to be eaten by the members of your family; and, also, be contented with, whatever, you and family have. Also, as you serve and eat each meal, as what Love has blessed your family with – for it is Love, who provides – thank Love for His mercy and love, that surround you. Thank Him, also, even when you have nothing to eat, at all, and it seems that He has abandoned you; and pray that He grants you and your family, the means of putting food on the table.
- Do not neglect to take care of yourself, as you look after your family. However, be modest and reasonable, as a wife, in the things that you do. Maintain cleanliness and keep yourself positively occupied and happy – and never engage in waywardness and deceit.
- Avoid keeping back company, or any relationship of any kind, that is capable of destroying your marriage.
- Do not encourage unnecessary interference in your marriage, from individuals or family members. Try to solve your family problems, when they do arise, through dialogue with your husband; and always allow free communication with him, that will help to deepen your understanding of one another and remove feelings of distrust.
- Trust in Love, and call on His holy name, in spirit and in truth. He will answer you, and comfort you, in your trials, and He will help you.
