2442 Passing on the spiritual food.... charity....

August 8, 1942: Book 33

Spiritual nourishment gives the human being the necessary strength to resist evil and to work on his soul. And therefore he need not fear that he might ever lack strength if he needs it, that is, if he has the will for spiritual ascent. The will will always also earn him the strength which can be supplied to the human being through the reception of the divine word. His spiritual hunger will be satisfied at all times and he will no longer want to miss the nourishment of the soul once he has been fed with it. For it is a divine gift, it is the expression of His love, it is the supply of strength and vigour which, once he has received it, the human being will be deprived of. Yet God does not arbitrarily withdraw this divine gift from him, and thus the soul's nourishment remains constant as long as the human being himself does not disregard the gift of grace. Now, however, love dictates that he should also offer his fellow human being spiritual nourishment, to feed him likewise, so to speak, so that he can cover the earthly path in accordance with God's will. Only then will the human being prove himself worthy of God's love. love should impel the human being to give to his fellow human being what has become indispensable to him; he should pass on the strength and grace in the realization that without spiritual nourishment his fellow human being will have to starve and that God allows the gift of grace to reach earth for all people.... For people must constantly wrestle with evil forces and need strengthening in order to be able to fight through their battle. The spiritual food has been offered to man by God out of love, and it should be passed on to fellow human beings with the same love, only then will the recipient of God's divine gift of grace make himself worthy and fulfil the first commandment to love his neighbour as himself....

Amen
