Anita Kennedy shares her spiritual epiphany in this book, describing her profound spiritual and mystical awakening that transformed her identity after facing life's struggles. The intense events in her life, such as significant losses involving physical and emotional pain, led to the breakdown of her old self and the reshaping of her mindset to see God's presence and work in her life.

 

Her testimony to God’s grace in receiving messages reaffirms her belief in God’s infinite and steadfast love. Go within yourself. There you will meet me. I am waiting for you. This inward journey reveals new insights into the deeper meaning of daily events and God’s plan behind them. Afterwards, life priorities gain a new perspective.

 

What stands out in these messages is Anita’s honest sharing of emotional, spiritual, and experiential intimacy with God, her open expression of feelings and thoughts, and her recognition of God's presence and action in every situation. The spiritual and mystical experience shows that the more Anita connects with God, the more she becomes her true self.

 

From meditating on these revelations, it becomes clear to me that it is not the surroundings but surrender to God that leads us to the experience of knowing God and being known by God, loving God and being loved by God.

The Merciful One always finds ways to communicate His message of love to people. The problem does not lie with Him; on the contrary, it lies with us. We are not willing to pause and listen to His voice, to see the face of God in our fellow human beings. Despite the fast pace of the modern world, the Eternal One always finds ways to stay in contact with His creatures, with us. He not only speaks, He also communicates, in His Son Jesus, the eternal Word, and in the Holy Spirit. When God communicates, all the heavenly powers (His Mother, angels, and saints) are at His service to ensure that this message of salvation and mercy is well received.

 

This book is the attempt of a daughter of God, convinced, imbued, and carried by the love of the Father, to put God's loving affection into words. Although many no longer believe in it, no longer want to hear about it, her conviction of this love of God is palpable. Her conviction of the truth of the first book of the Bible is so strong and tangible that nothing can suppress this truth. At the end of the act of creation, God declared that everything He had created was good (Genesis 1:31). And because everything is good, God does not want to abandon the world to destruction. He runs after the world. He runs after us to keep us from corruption. The entire history of salvation is a single testimony, proof of how God is committed to saving the world. He does it again and again. He never tires of doing so.

 

This book does not seek to develop a new church doctrine. It seeks to offer hope in simple, everyday words to all who are depressed and feel abandoned. Others should draw strength and confidence from a personal experience of love with God. The writer's personal life, her experiences of faith, represent the vulnerability and fragility of Christians, encouraging everyone not to doubt (any longer) the love and mercy of the Almighty. In a world that threatens or is threatened with anonymity, she assures everyone of God's care and affection. These qualities of God never allow Him to forget His children. His love is evident in His connection to each individual. He knows each and every one of us by name. Each and every one of us is a personal entity for and before God. Therefore, God desires the conversion and salvation of each and every one of us.

 

The profound spirituality of this book will hopefully inspire many to listen to God more and to trust in Him. Doubts in faith, loss in life, inexplicable despondency, and unfounded failure may be dark moments in our relationship with God. But the message of this book is this: loneliness and abandonment are not categories before God, for He is always with us. He did not abandon His Son, not even in death. And He does not abandon us. He searches for us relentlessly and speaks lovingly to us so that we may find our way back to Him, so that our hearts may return to His heart, so that heart may speak to heart again or continue to speak (cor ad cor loquitur).

 

May the experiences described in this book not remain those of one individual (Anita Kennedy); may they become the joyful experiences of every believer. Then, and only then, will this book have achieved its goal!

Mrs. Anita has developed a close relationship with God over the years through her dedication, devotion, prayers and the desire to pray for the people of God for their salvation, which has become part and parcel of her day-to-day life. God gifted her with divine inspiration and she seems to enter into dialogue with God, Jesus, Mother Mary and the Saints with ease in her visits to different holy places and churches.

 

God is directing her through different religious activities to promote devotion and to bring back the lost sheep of Switzerland. Her dialogues with God, Mary and the saints are contextual, down-to-earth, simple, thought-provoking, inspiring and touch the hearts of the people who read the book, having the religious context of Europe in mind, especially Switzerland.

The book, “Infinite Love of God”, is a great gift from God for all those who recognize God's intervention in the present time. Just as God, in His plan to save the world, chose individuals to convey His message to the world beginning with Abraham and Moses, so He does today. Private revelations do not bind believers, but greatly help strengthen faith if one recognizes them as messages God speaks to His children.

 

Reading the book, I recognized the voice of God and Mary and the voices of many saints in the messages. For me personally, the messages helped strengthen my faith. In today's world, where everything is so hectic and we have no time for one another or for God, these messages come as a balm to the soul. The gentle voice of God, the voice of Mary, and the saints are exactly what we need in this day and age. The revelations in this book return us to the sources of faith, but in a simple way. The entire book is a call to conversion, and it comes through a simple soul.

 

Although the revelations in this book are private, they nevertheless have a universal call for every person to accept God's infinite love. Some will understand the meaning of this book; others may not. But let's give ourselves a chance by reading this book. I am convinced that everyone will find something in this book for themselves that will help them deepen their faith or rediscover it.

 

The powerful message in this book is about God's infinite love, which, through the hearts of Jesus and Mary, wants to touch every person, lift them up, and enable them to participate in God's plan of salvation. It is intended for all people of goodwill who are ready to say “Yes” to God. Not just once, but every day, one must begin anew with reinvigorated zeal and love so that we may all one day enjoy inexhaustible joy in the company of the saints before God's throne in heaven.

I received this book with faith and deep grat­itude, hoping that I would find nourishment for my ministry and my soul.

 

In this book, Jesus reveals himself above all through his infinite love—a path on which we can already taste a little corner of paradise today. This love for all his children as they are, in all situations of life, for all people without exception, this unconditional and unfathomable love, unfortunately mis-understood or rejected, of which Christ's death on the cross remains a great sign. We can see that it is always this love that drives the Lord to choose missionaries who, as is always asked of his servants, are humble, trusting, willing, self-effacing, and faithful. They should be true instruments for the realization of the plan of salvation.

 

In this reading, we easily find ourselves in the pages of the Gospel, in the traditional teaching and commitments of Mother Church, to help people discover and open themselves to this love, which is freely given to all people. Does not the frequent practice of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Reconciliation, which are the most concrete signs of the Father's infinite love, correspond to the ordinary teaching of the Church?

 

It should be noted that the presence of the Mother of the Lord, the saints and the angels emphasizes the “communion of saints” that we fruitfully experience in the Church. This vision reminds us how Mary manifests herself through her many apparitions, so many souls who are unfortunately on the path to eternal damnation may be saved through conversion. It is true Church doctrine that true devotion to Mary, the saints, and the angels remains a powerful and precious aid to our salvation.

 

May “Infinite Love of God” emphasize these realities, which remain a support for the orthodox faith that we profess. Reading this can only enlighten, enrich and strengthen us in our faith.
