0778 Evidence of grace of an obvious kind.... bread of heaven....

February 16, 1939: Book 16

It is a fervent endeavour for the souls who stray from the heavenly father. It is an unrivalled struggle to free these souls from the adversary's hands, and time and again it remains a battle with the forces of darkness. It is therefore of infinite value if the forces in the beyond find support on earth through willing co-operation, for in this time of unbelief all available forces must offer themselves to the lord of heaven and earth in order to put a stop to the great distress of people's souls. At the present time, endeavours aimed at the salvation of souls are doubly beneficial, for only love for one another can redeem people and bring them closer to their true destiny. Without the lord's grace all struggles on earth would be unsuccessful and therefore He considers you humans in an extraordinary way. He wants to make your path easier, He wants to strengthen your faith and bring Himself so tangibly close to you that you recognize Him and joyfully devote yourselves to the work on your soul. If you let your heart speak with the sole intention of surrendering yourselves to the divine will, you will soon recognize how it begins to dawn within you, you will take the yoke upon yourselves without grumbling and complaining because it is the path to purification for you.... nor will you ever rebel against what the father imposes on you, for His grace helps you to bear it and to recognize the blessing of everything the father sends. And if you are now offered an obvious proof of grace, then just gratefully lift your eyes up to Him, Who leans towards His children full of infinite fatherly love, and remain conscious of this love.... In order not to let you become weak, He gives you the bread of heaven and thereby wants to make the heaviness of earth easier for you to bear.... He wants you to refresh yourselves and draw strength from His word.... and if you accept this from His hand you belong to the chosen ones, for you will now surely find the path to Him. You will not be able to go astray if the father Himself guides you, and you will be relieved of all worries about your soul's salvation if you only follow His word. The power of the word is unnameable, receive it hungrily and thirstily into your hearts, for what the father sends to His children in love must make you infinitely happy....

Amen
