Gathering spiritual goods .... building .... foundation walls ....

B.D. No. 1061 August 18th 1939

You should always be certain that the father in heaven will hear your plea if it concerns the salvation of your soul. However, you must always endeavour to avoid sin and do God's will, and then you will also be assured of divine help, for the lord promises His blessing to those who seek Him. The more intimately your heart turns to the divine saviour, the more abundantly the lord will provide for you, and if you live your earthly life in constant contact with Him, divine grace will flow to you unmeasured, for the father in heaven will give you everything your heart desires .... How much more, if your longing is for Him alone .... The father's love embraces you all and is always ready to give. Yet anyone who does not pay attention to Him will not partake of this love and his life on earth will be of little benefit to his soul. But it is a notable success if the human being, conscious of his strength from God, can entrust himself to the father at any time, question Him and receive an answer .... In this way he gathers good after good for his soul, he gathers what will last for all eternity, he lets a building arise, incomparably valuable and happy, he builds his spiritual home as it were and puts together stone after stone, for the divine master builder Himself instructs him and ensures that the foundation walls are firm and indestructible and that the human being does not run the risk of sinking into groundless soil .... And so strive above all for the most inner bond with God, so that you become worthy of His fatherly care and never remain without help .... For the father loves His children and stands by them in every adversity ....

Amen
