5492 Communion.... Bread and wine....

September 21, 1952: Book 60

Come the table of the Lord in faithful devotion, gather in My name and receive My bread and My wine.... listen to My Word which I convey to you from above through My servants, the Word which I Myself speak to you who want to hear Me. And your soul will experience strengthening, it will refresh itself at the source of life, I Myself will offer it bread and wine, the nourishment it needs in order to reach perfection.... It is the manna offered to you from heaven, the right food for you, and nothing on earth can replace this heavenly food, and the soul, which was previously sick and weak, will recover and become strong.... I Myself as physician and Saviour of all sick and weak truly give you the best remedy, for I know what the soul is lacking, I also know what alone can help it.... My Word, which is the direct emanation of Myself, My Word, which is light and strength, and which you humans urgently need if you want to fulfil your task in life on earth, to become what you once were in the beginning. You have lost everything which showed your divine origin, which was your own fault; you have lost everything which is an attribute of a divine being, you have become weak and wretched, of darkened spirit and powerless, you have no realisation and therefore can no longer be active in the way which was your former destiny. But neither can you pass away, you cannot dissolve into nothing but you remain as spiritual beings, only in a degree of imperfection which renders you completely incapable of becoming active according to My will. But I don't want you to remain in this degree of imperfection, I want to help you to become again what you once were, and therefore I want to provide you with what can shape you into completely different beings in an already achieved degree of maturity.... I want to impart strength and light to you, I want to provide you with spiritual nourishment which, like bread and wine, can awaken the life of your soul, which lies in a deep slumber and shall awaken again to My and its own joy. Without nourishment, without a supply of strength it will never be able to rise, yet it may constantly refresh itself with the bread of heaven, and a truly refreshing wine will be served to it which will take away its weakness, it will recover from illness and weakness, it will be strengthened to new life as soon as you humans only ever come to My table, which I constantly set with gifts of My love.... My servants will give you bread and wine from heaven, and thus you will take communion with Me and I with you if only you let Me enter when I knock, as soon as you open your ears and heart to accept My gifts of love, for I want, that you heal in your souls, I want all weakness to fall away from you, that there will be a bright light in you, which can only happen if you let yourselves be fed and watered by Me Myself, if you listen to My Word which is offered to you from above, and if you also obey this Word of Mine.... if you let the power of bread and wine have an effect on you.... if you live a life of love for Me and your neighbour according to My Word.... Then you are in truth My guests with whom I take communion, then you receive bread and wine and you will no longer be dead in spirit, you will live for eternity....

Amen
