1016 Faith and love are the condition for realization and knowledge....

July 22, 1939: Book 19

Whoever lives in faith and love will soon recognize the divine greatness, wisdom and omnipotence. And whoever prays to the father of all in spirit and in truth, his insight and comprehension will increase and he will now see and understand all things more than ever. By believing and loving, he will fulfil the divine commandments and request divine strength through prayer, and it will be granted to him immediately. The living source of knowledge opens up to him, and now divine wisdom flows into his heart and revitalizes his soul and spirit. On the other hand, it is a lost endeavour to try to acquire knowledge if man eliminates love and faith from his life and is unable to entrust himself in prayer to the creator of heaven and earth in his distress. His spirit is, from an earthly point of view, far more advanced, but only according to human judgement, where knowledge is, as it were, made dependent on intellectual thinking.... Yet this person knows nothing, and his ability and supposed knowledge only extends to things which appear important to people in earthly life but which are of no value for life in eternity. And this person certainly lives in abundance on earth and attributes this to his intelligence and strength.... But he thereby only prepares himself a life of comfort on this earth and cannot take over anything of his possessions when his earthly life is over.... And his earthly wealth will be replaced by spiritual poverty. Therefore hear again the call from above: Be believing and united in love.... do not deprive yourselves of the knowledge imparted to you by the lord Himself but accept His divine word with profound faith.... And you will go through earthly life strengthened, depart easily and one day stand in spiritual wealth in eternity. And seek to penetrate into the secrets of creation, and that on the way of the heart through love.... Everything is ready for you, you may enrich your knowledge still and still, but you have to put faith in God before all thinking and acting, you have to seek Him through love and ask for His grace and love through heartfelt prayer.... and you will stand in the midst of knowledge....

Amen
