5562 "Receive and eat, this is My flesh...."

December 22, 1952: Book 61

I have prepared the bread of heaven for all who will receive it from My Hand.... For I said to My disciples: "Take and eat, this is My flesh; take and drink, this is My blood.... do this in remembrance of Me...." So I distributed and commanded them to distribute likewise in My Name.... How simple are these words to understand, and how are they interpreted. I broke the bread.... as a sign that I wanted to give them a nourishment, a nourishment that should not preserve and strengthen the body but the soul. The bread of heaven must be supplied to you humans, the manna which is to satisfy your hunger, which is to supply you with a strength you need to reach beatitude. I gave the bread to My disciples and they should do the same.... distribute what they had received through My love and grace: My word, which is in truth My flesh and My blood, for I Myself am the word from eternity.... And if I now convey My word to earth, if one chosen by Me receives this word of Mine directly from Me, then I hand him the bread of heaven at the same time with the order to distribute it to his fellow human beings, to those who are hungry and thirsty and are fully satisfied and watered with My word.... Do this in remembrance of Me.... A testimony shall be given of Me with the proclamation of My word.... For I must be recognized and acknowledged by people as redeemer, and people must remember Me in full faith that they have only been redeemed through Me, otherwise My act of salvation will not have the redeeming power for them through their own guilt. I demand faith in Me as redeemer of the world, and therefore My word can only be proclaimed correctly when I Myself am proclaimed to people, when people testify of Me through My word. The meaning of My words can only be grasped if My spirit can work in you humans,

(22.12.1952) which is the strength flowing to you from Me if you accept My bread from heaven.... I, in turn, can only give you this bread if you make contact with Me, and you establish this contact through love.... You can certainly receive My word with your ears but only when you are willing to obey it will the spirit of love awaken in you, and if you then come to Me, to the lord's table, with this spirit of love within you in order to take supper with Me, then My word, which is now offered to you, is a right food and a right table, then you will receive My bread and My wine in truth, you will eat My flesh and drink My blood, you will receive Me Myself within you, Who enters everyone who joyfully opens the door for Me when I knock, for the spirit of love is already working in him. But then you will also understand every word I spoke to people when I lived on earth, for then I will enlighten your spirit, I will give you an understanding for all correlations, I will make the spiritual meaning accessible to you, whereas otherwise you would only grasp the literal sense which will truly not bring you much blessing, for then you will only possess dead knowledge which is the same as worldly knowledge even though it touches spiritual things. Then you will certainly stubbornly hold on to Jesus Christ's words and believe to testify to Him through them. But I demand more from you, I am not satisfied with a form which is an apparent fulfilment of My words and yet does not come close to the profound meaning of what I said to My disciples: Receive and eat, receive and drink.... this is My flesh, this is My blood.... do this in remembrance of Me....

Amen
