All things down here...

both in the supernatural order and in the natural order, are all veiled. Only in Heaven are they unveiled, because in the Celestial Fatherland there are no veils, but things can be seen as they are in themselves. 

So up there, the intellect does not need to work in order to comprehend them, because of their own they show themselves for what they are. 

And if there is any work to do in the Blessed Dwelling—if it can be called work at all—it is that of enjoying and delighting in the things that, unveiled, one sees.

On the other hand, down here it is not so. 

Since the human nature is spirit and body, the veil of the body prevents the soul from seeing My Truths. The Sacraments and all other things are veiled. I Myself, Word of the Father, had the veil of My Humanity, all My words, My Gospel, in the form of examples and of similes. 

And only those who drew near Me to listen to Me with faith in their hearts, with humility, and with the will to know the truths that I manifested to them in order to put them into practice, could comprehend Me. By doing this, they tore the veils that hid My Truths, and foúnd the good that was in them.

Through faith... 

through humility... 

and by wánting to know My Truths... 

it was a WORK that they were doing. 

And with this wórk they would tear the veil, 

and find My Truths as they are in themselves. 

And therefore they remained bound to Me 

and to the good that My Truths contained. 

[2.8.1930]
