B.D.-No. 1582

Power of the spirit....

Increase your knowledge by utilizing the power of the spirit. Consider that you can receive unlimitedly and make use of this grace, for one day you will be blissfully happy if you have knowledge, and your earthly existence has truly brought you success since your state at the time of death is not one without light. For light is knowledge.... Consequently, you can determine the degree of light yourselves in order to receive light, i.e. knowledge, through your will. If you are therefore exceptionally blessed by God to be able to receive knowledge, directly or by listening to the directly imparted word, you should well recognize this grace and do everything to become worthy of it. For God visibly expresses His love and chooses those who offer themselves to Him to want to receive and distribute this grace. And this is the first condition that the human being declares himself ready for divine activity on the one hand and for his resulting task on the other. For the power that flows from God to man must not dry up, but must be passed on. That which is received from God must enliven everything that is touched by it. God Himself must therefore be felt and recognized as the giver of this strength and His gift must be gratefully received. The human being's spiritual state will now become increasingly lighter and clearer, for through the strength of the divine spirit all the dross around the human soul will dissipate, it will be able to hear the divine voice within itself ever more easily, which distributes light and strength, and it can now enter into direct contact with the giver of truth. The power of the spirit must be recognized in order to reach the giver of truth. The human being must open himself, i.e. his heart, and allow this power to enter, only then can it work on and in him and bring about successes which can never be achieved otherwise.... To shape the ignorant person into the knowledgeable.... willingness to pass this knowledge on will now also enable the human being to do so, for it is the divine creator's will to guide everything that has emerged from Him into a state of light, thus it is also His will that the light which comes to the individual should shine far and wide and that all those still walking in darkness should thereby have their path brightly and clearly illuminated.... It is His will that the lightless state should be remedied by light bearers on earth who time and again send their light into the darkness and want to provide everyone with the benefit of light radiation. For only those who follow this radiance of light will take the right path on earth, they will already have knowledge on earth and thus be able to enter regions of light when they pass away, where the divine spirit's strength can now work unhindered and the being can constantly receive the emanation of divine love....

Amen
