6371 Power of the word on souls in the afterlife....

October 5, 1955: Book 68

You humans cannot imagine the hardship the souls are in in the spiritual kingdom if they have not attained the light of realization on earth.... It is a state of feeling which causes them unspeakable agony and which takes effect according to their nature.... that the souls rebel in indignation against their fate and the one Who has imposed it on them, and therefore they sink ever deeper and fall into ever greater adversity.... or that they let themselves drift silently and in despair, that they stray and hope to find a way out and then can also find it if they allow themselves to be guided, if a being offers them guidance.... It is the darkness which unspeakably torments all souls because they know what light means, because they have not yet lost the memory of light in earthly life. But the further a soul sinks, the more hateful it now is towards the light it is denied.... until finally even rays of light torment it when they are touched by it and it now flees the light, which, however, betrays such a deep fall that not enough intercession can be made for those souls in order to redeem them. Light is everything in the spiritual kingdom, light is bliss, cessation of all torment, light is proof of approach to God, and where light is, there the opposing power has lost. And if you humans now consider that this word, which flows to you as God's emanation of love, signifies light which you can turn to these souls in distress.... if you consider that through the divine word you have the opportunity to take the tormenting darkness from the souls, to kindle a light for them, and thus you can release them from torment.... if you consider that you possess light in abundance and can let this light shine out into dark areas.... where every spark of light is glimpsed, just as the souls eagerly rush towards every ray of light.... no matter how weak it may be.... you should not neglect to help those souls in darkness, and you should also remember in loving intercession those who are hardened and dwell in abysmal spheres and call them by your prayer and your loving will to help, if you distribute the divine word, if you give God Himself the opportunity through your love to address the souls through your mouth.... His word has an immeasurable effect of strength, His word can melt the hardest ice, His word can make the most hardened heart soft and pliable, but it cannot be conveyed to the souls against their will.... Mediators must be found who, out of love, willingly want to help the souls, who, as bearers of light, can kindle a light everywhere and thus also show the wandering souls a way to emerge from darkness into light.... The hardship in the spiritual kingdom is far greater than on earth, because on earth people adhere to blind lights and therefore do not feel the darkness in this way, even though the soul is already enveloped in deepest spiritual darkness and now enters the beyond in this state, where everything earthly falls away, where there is nothing more than what the soul has acquired for itself in earthly life in terms of spiritual goods.... Then the soul can no longer help itself, then it is dependent on the help of others, on your intercession and help through beings in the beyond, but which it will only accept once it has experienced the strength of intercession. Have mercy on these souls and convey the divine word to them, which alone can give them light and remedy their adversity if it is conveyed to them out of love....

Amen
