2055 Humble prayer a prerequisite for the transmission of knowledge....

September 2, 1941: Book 30

Wise is he who thinks himself small and powerless and asks for God's help.... For grace will be granted to him, and he will increase in light and knowledge. For the source of light is God, and when God is called upon for His grace, the human being desires to draw from the source of knowledge, he desires the light, and thus God can distribute according to desire. Man has the privilege of being allowed to ask God for His grace at any hour, he may always come to the father like a child and entrust himself to Him, and he will never ask in vain as soon as he desires spiritual possessions. For God wants to impart the truth to people and the only condition is the desire for it and prayer to Him. And He sets no limits, but the truth and the knowledge of it is given to man without limit as long as he desires it. Yet humble prayer is always the prerequisite that divine grace flows to the human being, which manifests itself in the transmission of the divine word which introduces the human being to the truth. Man must feel small and weak, only then does he come humbly to God and is then honoured with divine grace. But anyone who remains arrogant is still very far from light and wisdom. And he will hardly become a bearer of light as long as he does not humble himself and transform himself into a humble being. For only the humble will receive grace....

Amen
