5464 Redemption of souls from the depths.... Ray of light.... Jesus Christ....
August 18, 1952: Book 60
It is indescribably blissful to have opened the gates into the kingdom of light for a soul which had previously been held back by dark forces and was unhappy. It was not God's Grace that opened the way for her, but her will turned towards the light and His Grace helped her to escape the darkness. Darkness must release every soul that desires light. It is a perpetual endeavour on the part of the World of Light to awaken the desire for light in those beings. That is why rays of light flash everywhere, also in the deep, which however do not touch all beings beneficially but only those whose resistance against God has diminished a little, and for these souls the rays of light also shine now and then because God knows when the time has come when the souls are accessible to the light. Yet, the light never compels, it merely stimulates the souls' will to follow the ray of light. The beings of light then approach these souls, unrecognised indeed, yet offering them their help, and it is then up to the souls again as to whether they accept the help.... Often they still remain in resistance and then it is dark around them again, and they now experience this darkness even more agonisingly and their desire for light becomes ever stronger. Yet as soon as the darkness torments a soul, the time is not far away when it starts to become luminous.... And the already mature souls around it eagerly endeavour to provide it with light. For souls who enjoy the bliss of light themselves repeatedly turn to those souls in the depths with compassion. Love grows with the abundance of light they themselves receive and therefore a redemption of the souls from the abyss will certainly take place. Yet since every being's free will has to become active itself, it often takes a long time.... But the helpers are indescribably happy once they have succeeded in drawing a soul into their circle and their need has now come to an end.... For now there is one more helper to take part in the work of redemption. To have helped a single soul means to have again prepared the way for its followers, which leads upwards. For every rescued soul wants to help its own again in its love, which has now been kindled, and it remembers the need of those in the depths. And its will to help will never remain unsuccessful because it analyses its own experience and starts where it has suffered itself.... that it preaches faith in Jesus Christ to all those it wants to help.... If the distress of a soul who has been taught about it becomes unbearable, it will nevertheless turn to Him in its distress, Who has been presented to it as Saviour.... it calls out in its great distress and is heard. For Jesus Christ only waits for the call that expresses the soul's will in order to help it. His Name holds the greatest power and the greatest secret.... faith in Him can also still be found in the spiritual kingdom, and every soul of light endeavours to awaken this faith, its love gives it strength and it will not let up until the kingdom of light opens its gates again for those longing to ascend from the abyss, for Jesus Christ's mercy and love is infinite, and His Work of Salvation shall be continued in the spiritual kingdom, for He it is His will that all His created beings become blissfully happy....
Amen
