2138 Request of the suffering souls for prayer....
November 2, 1941: Book 31
Remember the souls who dwell in darkness and help them through silent prayer. You all have souls in the beyond who need your help and ask for it as soon as they come to your mind.... You are all able to help them through your intercession. These souls are in a situation where they cannot help themselves because they lack strength, and therefore they turn to you for help, that you may take care of them and reduce their hardship through heartfelt prayer. You are entitled to this strength, you can give it to these unfortunate beings and they implore you to do so. God's love and grace always leaves a possibility open where help can be offered to the suffering souls in the beyond, since the souls themselves are unable to free themselves from their agonizing situation.... He only makes this liberation dependent on the love of man. The more intimately the thoughts follow a deceased person into the beyond, the easier it will be for him to liberate the soul from its inactive state in the beyond, for every loving thought means an allocation of strength for the soul which it uses for diligent activity. And therefore the soul predominantly stays where it knows people who were fond of it, for it hopes to receive help from them, since only love can offer them this help. As soon as a soul remembers a person on earth, this is a silent request for their intercession. But how many people heed their request?.... How quickly people turn their thoughts away again, towards earthly life, and leave the struggling souls in their great need. And yet people should contribute to the redemption of all spiritual beings, they should try to imagine the suffering of those unredeemed souls full of mercy and never let a soul pray in vain, for it can no longer be helped other than through intercession. Countless souls are close to earth and predominantly close to people from whom they expect help. For their part they seek the opportunity to force themselves into people's minds and only fear that they will ignore them and leave them helplessly in the same situation. For every soul languishing in spiritual darkness in the beyond is helpless, thus it can only be offered help if light is imparted to it, if the divine gospel is proclaimed to it, for the knowledge of it signifies light, the knowledge of it brings relief to the soul since it will immediately pass this knowledge on and thus likewise serve with love. Yet in order to be able to serve the compassionate souls with love it has to possess spiritual knowledge itself which it wants to impart. But their state of darkness is completely unsuitable for passing on spiritual knowledge, and therefore the soul asks for light, they ask for knowledge, and you humans on earth can impart this to them and rescue them from their great adversity by sincerely appealing to God for grace and strength for these suffering souls.... And if the heart's love sends such a prayer of supplication upwards, God will answer the prayer and likewise give the souls in the beyond the opportunity to lovingly occupy themselves, and then the soul's spiritual ascent will begin, for it will receive strength through the earthly person's love and use this strength in accordance with divine will....
Amen
