5488 Admonition to accept the divine Word....

September 16, 1952: Book 60

Do not close yourselves to the divine words of love which should touch you with incomprehensible force and which you reject because you do not want to believe that God reveals Himself. In a time of complete darkness on earth, He Himself appears extraordinarily in order to draw people's attention to the great spiritual adversity. He speaks to people Himself by making use of a human being who, as a mediator between God and people, is willing to receive His Word and pass it on. You humans should not reject this Word of His, you should listen to it, consider it and comment on it, you should accept the possibility that God Himself wants to speak to you and only then reject it when you recognise it as bad with utter conviction, which, however, is never possible with the Word conveyed to you from above which beneficially affects every person of good will. A gentle light emanates from His Word, it is full of love and wisdom, and the listener feels quietly drawn to the original source of love, to God, Who speaks to him through His Word so that the human being should recognise Him. And anyone of good will will not be able to escape this impression because God Himself is the Word and thus also radiates something divine to the human being. Only good will is required of you humans, then the divine Word will also have an effect on you and you will recognise His revelations therein. He wants to reveal Himself to you humans so that there will be light in you, for light emanates from Himself and if you walk in the light nothing can happen to you anymore. But you are still walking in darkness and do not recognise the danger you are in.... You are still completely ignorant and therefore also take wrong paths which lead away from God to your own destruction. You are in great spiritual distress and you will perish in it if you do not accept God's help, Who wants to enlighten you through His Word so that you will choose the path which leads to beatitude, to eternal life, whereas you previously travelled the path of death. Do not close yourselves to the divine Word, listen to it with good will and accept it as an unusual gift of grace from God which is intended to save you from eternal ruin....
