The right path.... the right guide....

Enter all the path that leads to the heights.... It is narrow and impassable but the obstacles can be overcome if you entrust yourselves to a good guide Who knows the path, Who will lead you past all obstacles and cliffs with a sure hand and Who also chooses the shortest path to the aim. Do not let yourselves be frightened by the efforts and strains that lie ahead of you, for your guide will also give you strength for this, and you will overcome everything effortlessly and also no longer feel the path to be as steep and impassable as you initially believed. And if you look back, it will seem like child's play to you and you will also call out to your fellow human beings to choose that path which brought you to the aim. But the aim is the gate into the kingdom of light which is open for you who have walked this narrow path upwards. And thus you must regard all difficulties in your earthly life, all strokes of fate, adversity, illness and failures as obstacles which again and again obstruct your path to ascent and which you must bravely overcome, but not flee from them and stray onto side paths which seem easier to you.... For these lead far away from the right aim. Therefore, accept everything that earthly life offers you in terms of difficulties.... Ask for strength, turn to the right guide and be certain that you will overcome them, because the guide will help you and His help is always a guarantee to reach the aim. A level path does not require any effort, but you will also constantly remain on the same level.... But you shall reach the height. Your bliss is at the top, for you are still at the bottom, where the kingdom of the wretched is, from which you should ascend in order to be able to be blissful.... Hence you also have to use strength and therefore entrust yourselves to a powerful guide, and once He has taken over the leadership you will, as it were, be carried upwards, for your will to reach the top is already the strength which will accomplish your ascent. For this reason a laborious, arduous earthly life should always be proof to you that you are on the path to ascent.... Whereas you run the risk of having deviated if life does not demand any effort from you. You must not only think of physical exertion but rather of that strength which requires you to overcome suffering and hardship of all kinds, for you must become still in all the trials you face, and this 'becoming still', this 'bearing in submission' also requires strength which you may draw from your faith and love.... To bear suffering patiently is also to overcome the obstacles on the path upwards by humbly taking upon yourselves what is good for the salvation of your soul, which now becomes increasingly lighter when it can cast off its dross and now the ascent also becomes increasingly easier for it. There is only one thing for you: to entrust yourselves to the divine leader Jesus Christ with complete faith that He will take over the guidance and that you will now follow Him without hesitation, no matter how and where He leads you.... And if it is over suffering and adversity, then He also knows that this path will bring you success, that it is the right and shortest path for you, and then you must be willing to take it without contradiction and you will not regret having entrusted yourselves to His guidance. Only ask for strength to be able to cope with all resistance, but don't ask for averting this.... For your guide is always at your side, and He sustains you and gives you assistance wherever obstacles stand in your way.... And every overcoming of such obstacles signifies the safe distance from the abyss, and the ascent will become ever easier for you the more firmly you trust in Jesus Christ's help that He will open the gate for you which leads into the kingdom of light....

Amen

PRAVI PUT.... PRAVI VODIČ....

Svi idite putem koji vodi (prema) gore.... Uzak je i neprohodan, ali se prepreke mogu preći, ako se prepustite dobrom vodiču, Koji poznaje taj put, i Koji će vas sigurnom rukom (s)provesti pored svih prepreka i grebena te Koji bira i najkraći put do cilja. Ne bojte se poteškoća i nedaća koje su pred vama, jer i za to će vam vaš vodič dati snage pa ćete sve prevladati bez napora te ni put više nećete doživljavati tako strmim i neprohodnim kao što ste to u početku vjerovali. A ako se osvrnete unatrag, činit će vam se kao dječja igra, tako da i vaše bližnje pozivate na to da odaberu taj put koji vas dovodi do cilja.

A (taj) cilj su vrata u kraljevstvo svjetlosti, koja su otvorena za vas koji ste išli ovom uskom stazom prema gore. Tako da u vašem zemaljskom životu sve teško, sve udarce sudbine, nevolje, bolest i promašaje morate promatrati kao takve prepreke, koje vam uvijek iznova priječe put ka gore i koje vi hrabro morate prevladati, a ne smijete ih izbjegavati i gubiti se sporednim putevima koji vam se naizgled čine lakšim.... Jer tī odvode daleko od pravog cilja.

Stoga uzmite na sebe sve poteškoće koje vam zemaljski život pruža.... Molite za snagu, obratite se pravom vodiču, i budite sigurni da ćete ih prevladati pošto vam taj Vodič pomaže a Njegova pomoć uvijek je jamstvo za postizanje cilja. Ravan put (bez uspona) ne zahtijeva nikakvu primjenu snage, no tako uvijek ostajete na istom stupnju.... A trebate doseći visine (vrh). Gore je vaša blaženost, jer još se nalazite dolje, gdje je područje nesreće, iz kojega se trebate izdići da biste mogli postati blaženi.

Dakle morate primijeniti silu i stoga se povjeriti snažnom vodiču, a kad je On jednom preuzeo vodstvo, onda ćete takoreći biti nošeni prema gore, jer sama vaša volja za postizanjem visine, snaga je koja ostvaruje vaš uspon. Zato vam je mukotrpan zemaljski život uvijek dokaz toga da se nalazite na putu uspona.... S druge strane u opasnosti ste kad život od vas ne zahtjeva nikakvu upotrebu sile.

Pritom nemojte misliti na tjelesne napore, nego više na onu silu koja zahtjeva prevladavanje patnji i nevolja svih vrsta, jer vi se morate umiriti u svim ispitima koji su vam namjenjeni, a i to “umirenje”, to “predano nošenje” zahtjeva snagu, koju možete crpsti iz vaše vjere i vaše ljubavi.... Strpljivo nošenje patnje isto je prevladavanje prepreka na putu prema gore, tako što predano na sebe uzimate ono što vam spašava dušu, koja tako postaje sve lakša kad se može lišavati svojih troski pa joj uspon pada sve lakše.

Za vas postoji samo jedno: Božanskom vodiču Isusu Kristu prepustiti se s punim povjerenjem, da On preuzme vodstvo i da Ga vi onda bez oklijevanja slijedite, kako god i kamo god vas On vodio.... A ako je to preko patnje i nevolje, onda On i zna da vam taj put donosi uspjeh, da je on ispravan i najkraći put za vas, a onda ga morate biti spremni ići bez protivljenja, i nećete zažaliti što ste se prepustili Njegovom vodstvu.

Molite samo za snagu da budete dorasli svim preprekama, ali ne molite za njihovo otklanjanje.... Jer vaš vodič uvijek se nalazi uz vas te vas podupire i pruža vam pomoć tamo gdje vam prepreke stoje na putu.... I svako prevladavanje takvih prepreka znači sigurno udaljavanje od dubine, a uspon će vam biti sve lakši što se čvršće pouzdate u pomoć Isusa Krista da vam On otvori vrata koja vode u kraljevstvo svjetla....

AMEN
