Gift of grace.... aids.... will.... prayer....

A gift which allows divine love to flow to earth cannot be effective in people who close themselves off from God's love through an unloving way of life. They are indeed also offered the gift of grace, which is evident from the fact that everyone can hear the word of God even if he has neither desire nor understanding for it. However, whether it penetrates the heart, i.e. whether it is accepted with the heart at the same time as the intellect, again depends on how the person's will adjusts to it. Therefore, the will also determines the fullness of the gift of grace, it also determines whether the word of God only resounds in the ear or speaks to the person's heart.... For only the word speaking to the heart awakens to life, i.e. it stimulates activity in oneself, in one's soul. Consequently, the divine word is a means by which man can mould his soul in such a way as is necessary to be able to unite with God. Every aid to higher development is therefore a grace.... But whether grace is utilized is up to the human being, and as long as the word of God does not bring about this transformation of the soul, the human being's will remains inactive and he will also lack divine grace, even though it is fully at his disposal. There is also no other means for a person to receive the supply of grace than by fervently praying to God for grace.... This prayer is answered, for now the human being already testifies to his will to allow grace to take effect in himself. And God is always willing to grant the human being grace because He wants His living creations to return to Him again and without His help, His grace, the return to God cannot be accomplished. But God does not force the will, He leaves it completely up to the human being to make use of His grace. Yet only few make use of God's gift of grace, only few people allow the word of God to speak to them, and only few people realize that this divine word contains the abundance of divine grace within itself.... that God, in His infinite love, only imparts the word to people because He wants to help them to easily cover the path of ascent. And that is why only a few make use of the gift of grace which is given to them unmeasured and allow His divine word to speak to their heart....

Amen

DAR MILOSTI.... POMOĆNO SREDSTVO.... VOLJA.... MOLITVA....

Dar, koji Božanska Ljubav čini da dotječe na Zemlju, ne može biti djelotvoran na ljudima koji se pred Božjom Ljubavlju zatvaraju uslijed ne-Ljubav-nog načina života. Doduše i njima je ponuđen dar Milosti, što je vidljivo iz toga što Riječ Božju svatko može čuti, čak i ako za Nju nema ni želje ni razumijevanja. No da li će Ona prodrijeti do srca, znači pored razuma biti primljena i srcem, to opet ovisi o tome kako se volja čovjeka postavlja u odnosu na Nju. Dakle volja određuje i puninu Milosti, ona nadalje određuje i to da li Riječ Božja samo prolazi pored uha, ili pak govori srcu čovjeka.... Jer tek Ona Riječ koja govori srcu, budi u život, tj. potiče [[(na)]] rad na samom sebi, na njegovoj duši.

Iz toga slijedi da je Božanska Riječ pomoćno sredstvo, uz koje čovjek svoju dušu može oblikovati kako je nužno da bi se mogla sjediniti s Bogom. Svako sredstvo pomoći za razvoj uvis je dakle Milost.... No da li se ta Milost koristi, čovjeku je na slobodan izbor, a dok Riječ Božja ne postigne tu preobrazbu duše i volja čovjeka je neaktivna, te njemu nedostaje Božanska Milost, iako mu ona stoji potpuno na raspolaganju.

Isto tako, nema drugih sredstava koja čovjeku donose dostavu Milosti doli intimne molitve Bogu za Milost.... Ta molitva se uslišava jer čovjek tada potvrđuje svoju volju za to da Milost na njemu bude djelotvorna. I Bog je uvijek spreman čovjeku dati Milost, pošto On želi da se Njegova stvorenja opet vrate k Njemu, a bez Njegove pomoći, Njegove Milosti, ne može ni doći do povratka k Bogu. No Bog ne prisiljava volju, On čovjeku ostavlja potpuno slobodno to da se posluži Njegovom Milošću.

Ipak samo rijetki koriste dar Milosti Božje, samo rijetki ljudi daju da im Riječ Božja govori, i samo rijetki ljudi shvaćaju to da Riječ Božja u sebi nosi puninu Božje Milosti.... da Bog u Svojoj beskrajnoj Ljubavi ljudima prenosi tu Riječ samo jer im želi pomoći, kako bi put uspona lako mogli savladati. I zato samo rijetki koriste dar Milosti koji im neograničeno pritječe omogućavajući da njihovom srcu govori Njegova Božanska Riječ....

AMEN
