3790 The majestic grace of direct communication of the divine Word....

June 4, 1946: Book 48

Know the majestic grace which is granted to you through the direct transmission of the divine Word at a time when humanity least desires gifts of grace. God takes pity on people and grants them extraordinary grace against their will which, however, can only become effective once they give up their resistance. But He constantly gives them the opportunity to make use of His gift of grace, and thus He Himself repeatedly confronts people so that they learn to recognise Him. It is an act of grace which is only comprehensible to you humans if you visualise the immense holiness of the One Who comes to you, who languish in deepest sin. Only that which assimilates itself to Him can approach Him.... But God Himself comes to people who are distant from Him, He comes in the disguise of His Word and tries to move them through it to give up their resistance against Him, and to change their nature so that He becomes recognisable to them in all fullness of strength and grace, and that they consciously strive towards Him. The divine Word is only recognised as such by those who seek Him; the others certainly hear it but it remains without effect as long as they themselves do not want it to take effect in them. Consequently, a treasure of grace is available to people in the Word, which they can raise through their own will, and this grace is the evidence of immense love for people, who are on the brink of the abyss and approaching eternal downfall. And in order to stimulate the will to accept His gift of grace He once again approaches them recognisably through nature.... He expresses Himself with utmost strength and might, He speaks to them through the elements of nature Himself so that they will then accept His Word, which is offered to people from the heavens, without resistance.... Then it will not remain without effect, for then the human being's will itself will have become active and he will receive the blessing of the divine gift of grace, and his soul will be saved. Yet, blessed is he who does not need this violent admonition, who recognises His voice in the Word which is imparted to him through His servants on earth.... blessed are those who already strive to live according to His Word beforehand and approach Him in order to one day find complete union with the One Who Himself is the Word from Eternity....

Amen
