Spiritual communion ....

BD 2085 September 24th 1941

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
