2492 God's word, the source of eternal life....

October 3, 1942: Book 33

God's source of grace is inexhaustible and also accessible to every human being, and the earth could be without suffering if this source of grace were more respected. People urgently need God's grace, His help, on their path through the valley of the earth, and no traveller on earth would have to cover this path without grace if only he wanted to receive it. Yet people disregard God's grace, they quench their hunger and thirst at worldly fountains and pass by the source of divine love, and thus they continue on their path without strength, which therefore cannot lead to the right goal either. And this is why God allows adversity and suffering to come upon people so that they often threaten to sink down by the wayside, so that they need comfort and strength and then find themselves seeking help at the fountain of life where God offers them help in all love. His gift of grace is extremely valuable, but its value is not recognized....

Amen
