Spiritual communion....

There is no more significant process than the spiritual union of the human being with God, and the human being will derive the greatest benefit for his soul from this union; thus this process is, as it were, necessary for the soul's shaping according to divine will. The human being consciously unites with God, i.e. he strives for God's presence and fulfils the conditions which are a prerequisite for God to approach the human being.... Then the union with God must take place and thus the spiritual communion takes place. The eternal deity Himself takes up residence in the heart of the person who longs for this communion.... But what does it mean to fulfil the preconditions that are a prerequisite for intimate union with God?.... Only one thing can bring about union with God.... love in the heart of man. For love is the original substance of the eternal deity, and when a person's heart is filled with love, the same is in him that is the essence of the eternal deity. People who are far from love are also far from God, because love and God are the same thing. But in order for people to become love, i.e., in order for a being distant from God to experience the divine feeling of love, the human being's thoughts must be directed towards an object.... to an object.... that is lovable and thus kindles the feeling of love in him. The eternal deity Itself has to make the human being aware of Itself, It has to initiate him into the mystery of love, It has to make the human being aware of Its strength and power and of Its relationship with creation and the creatures. And this prompts God to reveal Himself to people in the word.... But now it is up to the human being to accept this word, i.e. to heed and obey it or to reject it. But the word is the outwardly recognizable divine activity, it is God's strength which has become form, it is outwardly audible and yet inwardly effective, it is the outwardly perceptible.... the flesh.... the inwardly effective, the blood.... which signifies true life....

God now constantly brings His word close to people and wants to awaken love in people through the word. He wants man to accept the word and endeavour to live accordingly.... But living according to it means: giving love to all creatures that are around him. He wants people to eat His flesh with a hungry heart.... that they eagerly receive the divine word.... and have an ardent desire to fulfil the divine will.... that they drink the blood, the power that flows to them, as they hunger for the word. He wants to give them true life through His flesh and His blood.... For if they obey His word they are active in love, and as soon as they give love they also receive love, for now eternal love Itself draws near to them and fills their hearts with Its presence.... And then the union takes place, the communion.... "He who abides in love abides in Me and I in him...." And he who opens his heart when I desire entrance will be able to shelter Me in all fullness.... My spirit, My strength flows through him and he is intimately united with Me, so intimately that he can speak of My presence, that he has received Me completely within himself because he has fulfilled the prerequisites which earn him My presence.... Thus says the lord and wants to enlighten people truthfully....

how He wants His word "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood...." to be understood. He wants to point people to spiritual communion, which alone signifies union with God and which can never be replaced by an outward act. Giving oneself to God in deepest love and proving this love for God to Him through active neighbourly love will inevitably result in God Himself turning towards man full of love, that a blissful union takes place and divine power flows through man. For love seeks to unite.... the love of God and the love of man press together. However, this process does not require any external actions, for these only give rise to misconceptions insofar as the human being makes the personal presence of the supreme being, the eternal deity, dependent on immensely misleading external actions, which, however, can be completely devoid of the inner spirit of love and then completely exclude the presence of the lord. God only sees the degree of love of the human heart, but not humanly added forms, which only have the consequence that the form is respected more, and are often even carried out completely without love, and the union with God, the communion, can then never take place. Being united with the lord is the most precious thing a person can achieve on earth, and this is truly only striven for very little.... However, people often think they are united with Him and are still very far away from Him because they still lack the love that alone brings about union with God. Yet anyone who offers his heart to God with the most heartfelt love, who is constantly active in love, will inevitably draw the eternal deity to himself and is most intimately united with Him through love, even if he ignores the external form of a spiritual connection.... For God looks at people's hearts and pays no attention to form....

Amen

DUHOVNA PRIČEST (ZAJEDNIŠTVO)....

Ne postoji nijedan važniji proces od duhovnog sjedinjenja čovjeka s Bogom, i čovjek će iz ovog sjedinjenja izvući najveću korist za svoju dušu; tako je ovaj postupak također nužan za oblikovanje duše prema Božanskoj volji. Čovjek se svjesno povezuje s Bogom, odnosno on teži Božjem prisustvu i ispunjava uvjete koji su pretpostavka da Bog Sebe približi čovjeku.... Onda mora uslijediti sjedinjenje s Bogom i tako se dogoditi duhovna Pričest (zajedništvo). Vječno Božanstvo Osobno uzima prebivalište u srcu čovjeka koji žudi ovu Pričest (zajedništvo)... Ali, što znači ispuniti preduvjete koji su pretpostavka za duboku i iskrenu vezu s Bogom?... Samo jedno može rezultirati sjedinjenjem s Bogom.... Ljubav u srcu čovjeka. Jer, upravo je Ljubav prvobitna supstanca vječnog Božanstva, i kada je srce čovjeka ispunjeno Ljubavlju, u njemu je isto što je Biće vječnog Božanstva. Ljudi koji su daleko od Ljubavi, također su daleko od Boga, budući je Ljubav i Bog isto. No, da bi ljudi mogli postati Ljubav, odnosno, da bi kao od-Boga-udaljena bića mogli ćutjeti Božanski osjećaj Ljubavi, mišljenje čovjeka mora biti usmjereno na jednu stvar.... na jedan objekt.... koji je vrijedan Ljubavi i stoga u njemu rasplamsava osjećaj Ljubavi. Vječno Božanstvo Osobno se mora dovesti u svijest čovjeka, Ono ga mora uvesti u tajnu Ljubavi, Ono mora čovjeku približiti znanje o Njegovoj snazi i moći, i o odnosu Njega sa Stvaranjem i stvorenjima. A to čini Bog, otkrivajući Sebe ljudima u Riječi... Ali, sada je čovjek slobodan prihvatiti ovu Riječ, stoga ju poštivati i vršiti, ili ju također odbiti. Riječ je međutim izvana prepoznatljivo Božansko djelovanje, ona je Božja snaga koja je postala oblik, ona je zamjetna izvana, a ipak djelatna iznutra, ona je izvana vidljivo.... Tijelo.... iznutra učinkovito, Krv.... koja znači istinski život.... Bog sada neprekidno donosi Svoju Riječ blizu čovjeku, i želi kroz Riječ probuditi na aktivnost Ljubav u čovjeku. On želi da čovjek prihvati Riječ i potrudi se živjeti prema njoj.... Prema njoj živjeti međutim znači: dati Ljubav svim stvorenjima koja su oko njega. On želi da ljudi sa gladnim srcem jedu Njegovo Tijelo....da žudno primaju Božansku Riječ.... i da imaju žarku želju ispuniti Božansku volju.... da oni piju Krv, snagu, koja im pritječe, čim su oni gladni Riječi. On im želi dati istinski život kroz Njegovo Tijelo i Njegovu Krv.... Jer, kada oni vrše Njegovu Riječ, oni su aktivni u Ljubavi, a čim daju Ljubav, oni također i primaju Ljubav, budući se sada njima približava vječna Ljubav Osobno, i ispunjava njihova srca Svojim prisustvom... I onda se događa sjedinjenje, Pričest (zajedništvo).... „Tko ostaje u Ljubavi, ostaje u Meni i Ja u njemu....“ A tko otvori svoje srce kada Ja tražim pristup, moći će Me skloniti u svoj punini.... Moj Duh, Moja snaga protječe kroz njega, i on je prisno (duboko, iskreno) sjedinjen sa Mnom, tako prisno, da on može govoriti o Mojemu prisustvu, da Me je on potpuno prihvatio u sebi, budući je ispunio preduvjete koji mu donose Moje prisustvo.... Tako govori Gospod i želi ljudima dati razjašnjenje u skladu sa Istinom.... Kako On želi da se shvati Njegova Riječ: „Tko jede Moje Tijelo i pije Moju Krv....“. On želi ljudima ukazati na duhovnu Pričest (zajedništvo), koja jedino znači združivanje s Bogom, a koja baš nikada ne može biti nadomještena izvanjskim činom. Predati se Bogu u najdubljoj Ljubavi, i ovu Ljubav za Boga Njemu pokazati kroz djelotvornu Ljubav za bližnjega, neizbježno će imati za posljedicu, da se Bog Osobno pun Ljubavi prigne čovjeku, da se dogodi blaženo sjedinjenje, i Božanska snaga prostruji kroz čovjeka. Jer Ljubav traži sjedinjenje.... Božja Ljubav i Ljubav čovjeka stiskaju se zajedno. No, taj proces ne zahtijeva nikakve vanjske postupke, budući su oni jedini uzrok krivim predodžbama, utoliko što čovjek osobno prisustvo najuzvišenijeg Bića, vječnog Božanstva, čini ovisnimo neobičnim izvanjskim postupcima koji vode u zabludu, koji međutim mogu biti potpuno lišeni unutarnjeg duha Ljubavi, i onda potpuno isključiti prisustvo Gospoda. Bog vidi jedino stupanj Ljubavi ljudskog srca, ali ne ljudski pridodane forme (prikaz, obličje, vanjštinu), koje za posljedicu imaju jedino da se više pažnje obraća na formu, i koje će uz to često biti izvedene sasvim bez Ljubavi, i onda se više nikada ne može dogoditi sjedinjenje s Bogom, Pričest (zajedništvo). Biti povezan s Gospodom je najdragocjenije što čovjek može postići na Zemlji, a tome se uistinu tek vrlo malo teži... Ali, ljudi često umišljaju da su povezani s Njim, a još su Mu vrlo daleko, budući im još nedostaje Ljubav, koja jedina postiže združivanje s Bogom. No, tko u najdubljoj Ljubavi Bogu prinese svoje srce, tko je stalno Ljubavno aktivan, on neizbježno privlači k sebi vječno Božanstvo, i najdublje je s Njime povezan kroz Ljubav, i ako on zanemaruje izvanjsku formu duhovne veze... Jer, Bog gleda u srca ljudi, a ne obraća pažnju na formu.

AMEN
