Thus, all the spiritual prophecies concerning the coming of Christ were
fulfilled, but the Jews shut their eyes that they should not see, and
their ears that they should not hear, and the Divine Reality of Christ
passed through their midst unheard, unloved and unrecognized.
It is easy to read the Holy Scriptures, but it is only with a clean heart
and a pure mind that one may understand their true meaning. Let us ask
God's help to enable us to understand the Holy Books. Let us pray for eyes
to see and ears to hear, and for hearts that long for peace.
God's eternal Mercy is immeasurable. He has always chosen certain souls
upon whom He has shed the Divine Bounty of His heart, whose minds He has
illumined with celestial light, to whom He has revealed the sacred
mysteries, and kept clear before their sight the Mirror of Truth. These
are the disciples of God, and His goodness has no bounds. You who are
servants of the Most High may be disciples also. The treasuries of God are
limitless.
The Spirit breathing through the Holy Scriptures is food for all who
hunger. God Who has given the revelation to His Prophets will surely give
of His abundance daily bread to all those who ask Him faithfully.

contact with the Source of all life.
An intermediary is needed to bring two extremes into relation with each
other. Riches and poverty, plenty and need: without an intermediary power
there could be no relation between these pairs of opposites.
So we can say there must be a Mediator between God and Man, and this is
none other than the Holy Spirit, which brings the created earth into
relation with the 'Unthinkable One', the Divine Reality.
The Divine Reality may be likened to the sun and the Holy Spirit to the
rays of the sun. As the rays of the sun bring the light and warmth of the
sun to the earth, giving life to all created beings, so do t
