1133 Support for the soul.... without such heavy wrestling....

October 11, 1939: Book 20

The soul struggles for its liberation and the battle is not easy. That is why the lord grants you every support, and if the soul is willing, it also feels the help and derives the greatest benefit from it. But the soul that resists has to fight the battle against the hostile power itself and is therefore in great distress. In order to defeat its resistance, in order to make the will of such souls submissive, the lord imposes all kinds of suffering and tribulation on it with the intention that this will have a favourable effect and make the resistance weaken. And therefore especially people who live in permanent defence against the grace accessible to them often have a difficult earthly fate which expresses itself in different ways. It happens not infrequently that all efforts of the spiritual beings in the beyond to help these souls are flatly rejected and that the human being therefore believes that he can master life without any spiritual help.... that he obviously rejects all indications which could offer him help and that he does not gratefully rejoice at the divine word because, in his opinion, everything divine is too high and thus too distant to be able to visibly unite with people on earth. And so they exclude all direct help and the concept of grace is incomprehensible to them should they apply it to their daily life. Only a direct spiritual experience liberates them from this erroneous opinion, and again, precisely such people will be far too sober-minded to want to acknowledge supernatural activity, and thus they would rather dismiss everything without further ado than examine it. And thus the situation will be dire for such a soul which does not want to accept help from any side and yet has too little faith itself to make contact with spiritual strength. They wrestle and wrestle on earth and try to present their opinion as the only correct one, and this is so immensely burdensome for the soul, after all, their difficult struggle on earth is without any success and hardly liberates them from their agonizing situation. And it is extremely difficult to help such a soul, for it regocnizes nothing but what it can see and feel, thus not even the obvious gift of divine grace.... And thus, understandably, it does not enjoy such gifts of grace either and continues to remain in the same darkness of spirit until the human being has become soft and compliant and willingly accepts the grace offered from the father's hand in order to solely help the soul out of hardship and distress....

Amen
