Divine grace....

Without divine grace, man is incapable of accomplishing even the slightest thing for the salvation of his soul. Man is weak, i.e. he lacks all strength as long as he walks without God. He can certainly lead his earthly life and do so with earthly successes, but his soul is empty until it asks God for His grace. For the grace of God is power.... It is the power that is needed to carry out what God's will is. God therefore makes His will known to people and at the same time gives them the means to be able to fulfil His will. And man can reach his goal, the maturity of the soul, without great effort if he wants to.... But this is completely up to him.... The will to request the strength will not be forced, but the strength cannot come to the human being without being requested either. Man can achieve everything with God if he prays fervently. Therefore, he will also receive unlimited grace, since it is God's will that people should make use of His grace in order to attain spiritual maturity. If the human being spurns the most precious thing, divine grace, then his will is in the power of the adversary who wants to stop the human being from making contact with God. And if he pleads for God's grace, he establishes the connection with God, and that means lost territory for the adversary, for then he can no longer rule over the human being. For the person himself, however, it means salvation from eternal ruin. For from the very beginning God Himself stands by his side, since the human being has entrusted himself to His strength and power through prayer for grace and God will never disappoint such trust. If the human being only ever implores divine grace, he will no longer need to fear for his soul, for God shares His grace unmeasured with those who desire it and pray to Him in spirit and in truth. However, He will withhold it from those who deem themselves too exalted to approach the divine creator for an easing of their earthly task. Their reward is the world's recognition, and thus they also believe they can master everything by their own efforts. They will lack any strength to do anything that brings spiritual success. On the other hand, the inclination towards matter will be increased, for if they believe that they do not need God's grace they are children of satan, who puts all these thoughts into the human being's heart in order to increase the distance from God. And it will be easy for him to achieve this. Living in the grace of God ensures the highest spiritual success, because now the human being no longer does anything on his own but does everything in accordance with the divine will. Divine grace is God's help, divine grace is strength, and divine grace is, as it were, the outflow of God's infinite love, and where this comes into action spiritual success must be recorded. And therefore always and constantly ask for divine grace so that it can come to you as soon as you need it....

Amen

BOŽANSKA MILOST....

Bez Božanske Milosti čovjek je nesposoban izvesti i najmanju stvar za spas (dobrobit, zdravlje) svoje duše. Čovjek je slab, tj. sva mu snaga nedostaje, dokle god on živi bez Boga. On doduše može voditi svoj zemaljski život i to sa zemaljskim uspjesima, no njegova duša ostaje kratkih rukava dok on Boga ne zamoli za Milost. Jer Božja Milost je snaga.... Ona je snaga koja je potrebna da bi se izvodilo ono što je Božja volja. Bog dakle čovjeku objavljuje Svoju volju i istovremeno mu daje sredstvo da bi mogao ispuniti Njegovu volju. I čovjek može bez velikog naprezanja postići svoj cilj, zrelost duše, samo ako to hoće.... No to mu je potpuno slobodno....

Volja, za potraživanje snage, neće biti prisiljavana, no snaga čovjeku isto tako ne može prići nezatražena. Čovjek kod Boga postiže sve, ako usrdno moli. Stoga će mu i Milost beskrajno pristizati, pošto je Božja volja da se ljudi koriste Njegovom Milošću, kako bi mogli postizati duševnu zrelost. No ako čovjek ono što je najdragocjenije, Božansku Milost, odbije (prezre), onda je njegova volja u vlasti protivnika, koji čovjeka želi spriječiti u tome da se poveže s Bogom.

Ali ako on moli za Božju Milost, on uspostavlja vezu s Bogom, i to onda za protivnika predstavlja izgubljeni teren, jer tad on nad čovjekom više ne može vladati. A za samog čovjeka to znači spas od vječne propasti. Jer od tog trenutka Sam Bog je uz njega, pošto se čovjek putem molitve za Milost povjerio Njegovoj snazi i moći a Bog takvo povjerenje nikada neće razočarati.

Samo ako čovjek uvijek moli (za) Božansku Milost, on se više neće morati plašiti za svoju dušu, jer Bog Svoju Milost neizmjerno daje onima koji ju žude te se u duhu i u Istini Njemu mole. No on će ju uskratiti onima koji se smatraju pre-uzvišenima da bi se Božanskom Stvoritelju obratili za olakšanje njihovog zemaljskog zadatka. Njihova plaća je priznanje svijeta, tako da oni i vjeruju da mogu sve izvesti iz vlastite snage.

Njima će nedostajati svaka snaga za činiti nešto što donosi duhovni uspjeh. S druge strane će rasti sklonost k materiji, jer budući da vjeruju da ne trebaju Milost Božju, oni su djeca Sotone, koji sve te misli sije u srce čovjeka kako bi uvećao udaljenost od Boga. I bit će mu lako to i postići. Živjeti u Milosti Božjoj osigurava najveći duševni uspjeh, jer onda čovjek ništa više ne čini sam, već sve u skladu s Božanskom voljom. Božanska Milost je uslužna djelatnost Boga, Božanska Milost je snaga, i Božanska Milost je istovremeno zračenje beskrajne Ljubavi Božje, a gdje ona stupa u akciju, tamo mora biti primjetan duhovni uspjeh. Te si stoga uvijek i neprestano molite Božansku Milost, kako biste ju mogli primiti, ukoliko vam je potrebna....

AMEN
