3613 God’s word.... bread of heaven.... flesh and blood....

November 25, 1945: Book 46

You will constantly be granted the grace to be able to receive the word of God which God, in His love for you, conveys to earth in order to help you in every danger of body and soul. And since you therefore constantly receive the evidence of His love, your striving shall only be directed towards showing yourselves worthy of this love; you shall live a righteous way of life, you shall excel in works of unselfish neighbourly love, you shall be humble, gentle and patient, merciful towards every fellow human being in need, you shall live peaceably next to each other and constantly give God the glory, choose Him as your leader.... you should consciously work on your soul so that you, too, will become love in order to be able to unite with eternal love. God gives you His word, He does not let you go hungry but continues to feed you with the bread of heaven which gives you the strength to walk according to God's will. And you should always recognize this grace and be grateful, for His word is also proof of His presence, because He Himself is the word and thus descends to you in the word. Therefore do not let Him knock in vain at your heart if He desires entrance, if He wants to bring His word to you and only requires open ears and hearts so that His word can become effective.... You, who receive His word directly, try to influence your fellow human beings, inform them of His overwhelming love and His desire to enter your hearts; try to persuade them to open the door of the heart wide so that He can enter unhindered and also make them happy with His word which, when received directly, signifies immeasurable blessings and a treasure of grace for the recipient. Listen to what He says to you and move it in your hearts, and therefore let the great gift of grace become effective in you.... Let yourselves be filled with the bread of heaven which fatherly love offers you and enter into intimate contact with the one Who is the word Himself, Who offers you His flesh and His blood.... His word and with it the power.... It is nourishment from heaven which is given to you and which is therefore the most delicious food you can receive, which removes all weakness from you and enables you to overcome everything difficult on earth, which cannot be compared to earthly food, for it not only strengthens and refreshes the body but also the soul and gives it strength to develop itself, to unite with the spirit within itself and thereby to find union with the father-spirit of eternity, from Whom it once came forth and to Whom it shall return again.... God Himself calls the soul through His word, He gives it strength through His word, and He unites with it through His word, because He Himself is the word from eternity and thus comes to people in the word who hunger and suffer and need and desire strength and strengthening.... For His love is infinite, it applies to His creatures for all eternity....

Amen
