Maria Valtorta (Itália, ano 1897-1961) - Obra: "Lições sobre a Carta de São Paulo aos Romanos" (1948-1950)The Sweet Guest
[The Holy Spirit] says,
[...] Saints are heroes. In one way or another, in the manner which is proposed to them by God, their life is heroic. They know what it is they do and they know where they will be guided to by doing that which they do. They are not frightened however.
They also know that what they do serves to continue the Passion of Christ and increase the treasures of the Communion of Saints, to save the world from the punishments of God, and snatch many lukewarm souls and sinners from Hell, who without their immolation, would not be saved from damnation. Because even lukewarmness, gradually cooling the love which every man must have in order to live in God, slowly leads to the death of the soul as per a spiritual starvation.
If predestination were separate from the heroic will of the being, it would not be a just thing. And God cannot will unjust things. I am speaking here of the predestination to sanctity, proclaimed by the justice of the life and extraordinary facts that, like stars, mark the life and way of the faithful predestined one to his predestination to glory, and who continue to be proclaimed by miracles beyond the death of the predestined one.
