Anneliese wrote down everything Jesus said to her. These notes
are not dated but numbered. On February 15, 1976 she handed four
pages of these notes to Father Renz who carefully preserved them.
They are, as it were, Anneliese’s “spiritual testament.”
1. Everything good that you do, and have done, comes from Me.
Every good thought, every good deed: nothing is yours. That is
why (at Holy Mass) I let you write them down, to show you that
you can do nothing on your own, and to teach you humility. You
should not suppose that you have achieved anything by yourself.
All these are gifts of my great love to you. You should have nothing
that belongs to you. You must understand that everything comes
from Me and so accept them with gratitude; and do not be proud
as though they were from you, for these are my gifts.
2. Expect everything, but everything, from Me. I can make possible
what is impossible. Place great trust in Me. This brings Me glory.
It draws Me to you.
3. Be sorry for your sins and then believe in My great love for
you. Do not doubt it, for this saddens Me greatly. My ways are
mysterious ways. You must let Me chose the way for you. Have I 
not already given you ample proof of My love?
4. Be silent! Do not talk so much. Restrain your tongue, since
for every needlessly uttered word you will have to hold account.
Love solitude. Meet with others only when necessary, e.g. for
reasons of friendship, and not for pleasure’s sake. Give
up permitted pleasures as well.
5. Do not worry about the future. Try at all times to listen
to My voice and carry out My wishes (My will). I love you tenderly.
Do likewise while carrying out My most silent wish — always
listening to My voice. (The sheep know their Shepherd’s
voice. I am the Good Shepherd and I love My sheep).
6. Believe that I answer every prayer so long as it does not
stand in the way of the soul’s salvation. Often I wait before
answering even the just prayers of My children that they may be
persistent and their prayers be of benefit to others.
7. Do not lose heart if something does not happen (right away)
as you would wish. Try at least to hide your indignation. You
do not know what good such adversities serve or why they are necessary.
8. Never cease asking and begging on behalf of your neighbors
that they may attain the eternal homeland as well.
9. Am I not a loving Father to you, always caring for you?
10. Do not forget to give thanks for all the gifts that I have
bestowed upon you. My crosses are the greatest gifts of grace.
Also do not forget that you may read the writings of Barbara Weigand.
Pray that the riches of these writings may become available to
all.
11. Pray and make great sacrifice for my priests. It is not for
nothing that I have revealed to you the greatness and dignity
of every priest (in San Damiano) — to the point that you tremble
with fear. Consider that even the unworthy priest is another Christ.
Judge no one, so as not to be judged. Leave that to me.
12. I am allowing your temptations [word underlined in the original].
Struggle with them. Do not give let them overcome you. I will
not allow them to exceed your strength. Do not be concerned how
far [name crossed out] may go with temptations of this kind, or
to what extent I shall permit them. That is my affair. From struggle
comes growth — provided you struggle along with Me.
