To hear the living word is an extraordinary grace that must be constantly asked for, as it cannot be imparted without being asked. Just as the desire of the earthly child rises from the depths of its heart to the heavenly father, it will be considered according to that very desire. But the path to Him must have been travelled first, prayer must establish the bridge from the human being to God, the open vessel must have been provided so that the divine gift of grace can flow into it. And thus God offers Himself to people in the word, for God is the word from eternity. He unites Himself with every person who seeks Him and longs for Him, yet not always so obviously, for He distributes His gift in such a way that it corresponds to its purpose. People must be offered extraordinary proofs of His love at times in order to strengthen faith in those who doubt or to convert complete unbelievers to faith. Everything that belongs to the daily phenomena of life loses its effect.... Even in this form, the word of God offered to people would soon become commonplace and thus make no impression on most people. Hence this process is only outwardly recognizable if it is divine will, i.e. if it is necessary to provide erring humanity with evidence of God's visible activity, but then the earthly child will be allowed to hear the divine word at any hour, in any place and in any situation in life if only its will establishes the connection with the heavenly father and it attentively listens to what the father reveals to it. Hearing his voice should be a heartfelt desire, nothing else should be longed for and every available time should be used to serve the lord and at the same time receive the highest grace....

Amen
