1075 Dwelling of divinity in the heart.... tools....

August 29, 1939: Book 20

It will be a solemn moment for a God-serving earthly child when divinity approaches him in an undeniable way, when he now regocnizes most clearly that he is granted a grace which is so exceedingly blissful that a second person would not be able to imagine what bliss escapes him. The deepest peace enters the heart, which now serves the lord and saviour as an abode, and it is so blissful that earthly events, no matter how sorrowful they may be, no longer exert any influence and therefore the state of the earthly child can no longer be called earthly but is already a dwelling in higher regions. And therefore this favour is not very often granted to a person on earth, as it easily makes him incapable of any earthly activity, and the lord only favours those who, through constant looking and listening inwards, have already come considerably close to the state of maturity, so that they no longer have to fear death on earth and therefore cannot suffer any harm if they no longer comply with earthly activity. The human being should struggle and strive for light, and he should patiently endure all hardships that life brings him and look up to the father with grateful love.... And from now on the father will look after this child with His care and, as a crowning glory, allow him a small glimpse of heavenly joys already on earth. And it only requires the most heartfelt devotion, for the more intimately it unites itself with the divine saviour, the more tangible it will become to the human being that the saviour also unites Himself to him and indeed indissolubly.... For once a person has entered into a bond with the divine spirit, he is inseparably united with Him and need fear neither relapse nor weakening of spiritual endeavour. In special cases it is divine will that the earthly child should gain insight into the extraordinary working of the eternal deity in order to be able to truly proclaim the closeness of the father and to be able to bear witness to the truthfulness of His words, and thus God's instruments will be considered in a quite marvellous way and be exceedingly happy to be praised. And their hearts will glow with love and devote themselves solely to the father in heaven. And their power will be great, for they will constantly draw it from the extraordinary grace of being intimately united with the lord and saviour....

Amen
