ZAUZIMANJE OD STRANE BLIŽNJIH....

Kako je ne-mudro zaobilaziti direktnu vezu s Bogom i želiti se po-služiti čovjekom čija molitva bi nam trebala koristiti. Bog cijeni jedino molitvu koja Mu biva upućena u najdubljoj Ljubavi prema bližnjemu, i tad snaga Ljubavi služi onome koji je potrebit. Ali svaka druga molitva je uzaludna. U Njegovoj samilosnoj Ljubavi Bog na čovjeka šalje patnju i muku kako bi ga pokrenuo da mu se povjeri bez granice, kako bi ga pokrenuo da uspostavi istinski odnos djeteta prema Ocu, jer tek onda snaga božanske Ljubavi može dotaći srce čovjeka i njegovoj duši biva pomognuto putem tog dotoka snage, kako bi duhovno napredovao.

Ako se zaobiđe ta (direktna) iskrena veza, dotok snage samo je neznatan i zajamčen je jedino kad zauzimanje za bližnjega dolazi iz srca koje ljubi.... inače čovjek ostaje potpuno bez snage i duša mu mora oskudijevati. Nikada čovjek namjesto svoga bližnjega ne može postići preobrazbu bića, već čovjek sam mora biti aktivan, on sam mora svoju volju usmjeriti Bogu i s Njim uspostaviti vezu kako bi mogao primiti snagu. Ljubavno zauzimanje je za njega korisno samo da bi mu se dostavila snaga koja uzdiže njegovu oslabljenu volju.... kako bi on dakle putem zauzimanja primio snagu da se sam okrene Bogu.

Ovaj dotok snage rezultat je Ljubavi bližnjega; ali bez Ljubavi svaka molitva je uzaludna, jer jedino će duboka Ljubav postići da se molitva u duhu i u Istini uzdigne Bogu, te tada i ima uspjeha. Bog zahtijeva vezu s Njime, koju svaki čovjek može uspostaviti, ako to želi. Tko se oslanja na molitvu drugoga, njegova volja Bogu još ne važi, tako da će i ta molitva biti bez učinka. Čovjek jednim iskrenim uzdahom može postići daleko više nego što može postići duga molitva kojoj nedostaje ta iskrenost, kao što mu i iskrena pomisao na Boga donosi više snage nego molitva zauzimanja drugih ljudi. No, Bog vrednuje stupanj Ljubavi onoga koji se moli za svog bližnjega, jer je uvijek Ljubav to što daje snagu tako da ni zauzimanje u Ljubavi ne ostaje bez učinka.

I radi toga uvijek iznova čovjeka zadesi velika muka i gorka nevolja, pošto ne treba zaboraviti Onoga Koji mu jedino može pomoći, jer treba uspostaviti ispravan odnos koji mu jedini jamči dostavu snage od Boga, i jer on sam se mora aktivirati kako bi mogao postići uspjeh za svoju dušu. A to ljudi ne trebaju zaboraviti; njihov bližnji za njih ne može preuzeti odgovornost, svatko je osobno za sebe odgovoran i stoga sam na sebi mora raditi.... a ljudi tu djelatnost mogu izvesti jedino uz pomoć Boga, Kojega u iskrenoj molitvi moraju zamoliti za snagu i Ljubavi punu skrb, kako bi postigli svoj cilj, kako bi im duše sazrijele na Zemlji.

Amen

Intercession by fellow human beings....

How unwise it is to bypass the direct connection with God and to want to make use of a fellow human being whose prayer is supposed to benefit him. God only respects prayer which is sent up to Him in deepest love for the neighbour, and the power of love is then used for the benefit of the needy. But every other prayer is useless. In His merciful love God sends suffering and adversity upon the human being in order to motivate him to entrust himself to Him without limits, in order to motivate him to establish the right relationship between a child and its father, because only then can the strength of divine love touch the human being's heart and through this influx of strength help his soul to develop spiritually. If this intimate connection is disregarded, then the influx of strength is only slight and also only guaranteed if the intercession for the fellow human being comes from a loving heart.... otherwise the human being will remain entirely without strength and his soul will have to starve. A person can never achieve the transformation of his fellow human being's nature but he has to be active himself, he has to turn his will towards God himself and make contact with Him in order to receive strength. Loving intercession is only useful for him insofar as strength is supplied to him which lifts his weakened will.... that he thus receives the strength through intercession to turn himself towards God. This supply of strength is the effect of the fellow human being's love; but without love every prayer is useless, for only profound love will cause a prayer to be sent to God in spirit and in truth, and then it will also be successful. God requires the connection with Him, which every human being can establish if he wants to. Anyone who relies on the prayer of a fellow human being is not yet doing God's will, and thus that prayer will also remain ineffective. The human being can achieve far more with a heartfelt sigh than a long prayer which lacks this heartfeltness, just as the heartfelt thought of God gives him more strength than a prayer of intercession by a fellow human being. But God evaluates the degree of love of the one who prays for his fellow human being, because love always gives strength and thus a loving intercession does not remain ineffective. And that is why again and again great suffering and bitter hardship befalls the individual person, because he should not forget Him Who alone can help him, because he should establish the right relationship which alone secures him the supply of strength from God, and because he has to become active himself in order to achieve success for his soul. And people should not forget that their fellow human beings can never take the responsibility away from them, that everyone has to take responsibility for himself and therefore also has to become active himself.... and that they can only carry out this activity with God's help, Whom they have to call upon in heartfelt prayer for strength and loving care so that they will reach their aim, so that their souls will mature on earth....

Amen
