Divine grace must be asked for .... not indiscriminately .... (predestination)

BD 1807 February 12th 1941

Whoever feels drawn to Me, whoever flees to Me in every adversity and tribulation, I will hear his pleas. For he recognizes Me as his father and his plea is childlike and trusting. And the father is always willing to reduce the hardship of His children, and thus I also want to save you and give you peace. It is only necessary for the sake of your souls that you come into distress so that you seek Me and your hearts cry out to Me. For only suffering brings you closer to Me. However, you will never be forsaken if only you do not pray to Me, if only you do not turn away from Me. And therefore always trust in My love and wait until help comes to you.

It is never man's own merit if he reaches the heights, but it is God's grace that brings this about. However, it must not prevent man from working on himself, he must never think that he does not need to do anything, but can only rely on the grace of God. He will only be appreciated by God's grace if he proves through his deeds, his behaviour, his thoughts and actions that he wants to ascend. This will, which now lets him ask for God's help in prayer, now earns him the grace which again brings about the perfection of the soul. Divine grace is therefore by no means a gift from God that is given to people indiscriminately, with which one person is given while another person has to go without .... No, divine grace is available to every person without measure. No human being will ask for God's grace in vain. But it can never be imparted to a person without it being requested, and therefore the only merit of a person will be that he turns to the heavenly father again and again in prayer and humbly asks for His grace. Everything else will then be accomplished by God's love itself in a person who thus surrenders his will to God and consciously avails himself of God's supply of strength. And it is therefore wrong to assume that God bestows His grace on people at will .... This would be an act of the greatest injustice, for then only those people could ever be saved who were chosen by divine grace. Consciously striving for perfection would then lose all meaning, because the question could understandably be raised: Do I belong to those whom God has chosen for the eternal kingdom? .... Such a view would have to lead to the human being neglecting the work of the soul and only ever wanting to raise the objection that only divine grace can make him free, but that this cannot be attained, but that the human being must wait in peace and patience until God's grace flows to him and, if this is not the case, he must perish eternally .... Anyone who holds this view is in a terrible spiritual condition. He must doubt God's love, His goodness and mercy, he must also regard his earthly life as useless if God's grace is not bestowed upon him .... And yet it is up to the human being himself to make unlimited use of divine grace. Every person is free to come to God as often as he wants, i.e. to request in prayer everything that is simply called grace. The more sincerely he asks for it, the more abundantly God provides for the earthly child and only then can he walk on earth in a way that is pleasing to God .... His way of life is therefore no longer his own merit, but the fact that he can lead it as he now does is now the work of divine grace, .... Every person can ask, so he will also receive according to his prayer. He will be granted God's grace and will now successfully cover the path to the heights ....

Amen
