The Spirit of God will speak, and they will understand what even the wise themselves will not be able to comprehend. Indeed, the scholars will study the word, the phrase, the manner, the place, the how, the instrument, through which the Word speaks, while those I have chosen will not get lost in these useless studies, but will listen, lost in love, and will understand since it will be Love speaking to them.[2]
In "The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me"
Foreknowledge, Omniscience, Revelations
- Man is created in the image and likeness of God. One of the likenesses lies in the ability for the spirit to remember, see, and foresee.[3]
- Foreknowledge of Mary about the Passion of the Savior.[4]
- The smallest is the greatest when, with humility, he communicates with his Lord, for the Good of the brothers.[5]
- I, I know all. The thought of men, as a good thought, is only a reflection of one of my thoughts.[6]
- I do not ignore, as God, and I do not ignore, as man. I know the events to come because I have been with the Father since before time and I see beyond time. As man, free from the Imperfections and limits inherent to the Sin and faults, I have the gift of introspection of Hearts. This gift is not limited to the Christ. But it belongs to varying degrees to all those who, having reached holiness, are so united with God that they can say they do not operate by themselves, but with the Perfection that is in them.[7]
- Judas: "I know it. (Jesus) He is the Son of God. But He is also Man. As such, He can be subject to not knowing secondary things such as that of a conversion and a return... Master, do you really always, always know everything? I often wonder..."[8]
Understanding, exegesis, comprehension
- Man is obliged to know God through gratitude and out of respect for his own reason.[9]
- The Spirit of God will speak, and they will understand what the wise themselves will not be able to comprehend. Indeed, the scholars will study the word, the phrase, the manner, the place, the how, the instrument, through which the Word speaks, while those I have chosen will not get lost in these useless studies, but will listen, lost in love, and will understand since it will be Love speaking to them.[10]
Knowledge, thought
- To cultivate oneself through knowledge.[11]
- Man is the work of patient progress, the current man, and he will always progress more in knowledge and power, which may be holy or not, according to the will of men. But man did not become wise in one day.[12]
- Only the pure see correctly because there is no sin in them to disturb thought. But man not understanding should not frighten you, Maria. God understands and that is enough for Heaven.[13]
- Knowledge is not corruption when it is Religion.[14]

The Notebooks of 1943
- Catechesis of May 13 : And now that I have shared with you the reasons why I do not like to speak about it, I will tell you those that make me feel that I am not a naive person who takes the fantasies of delirium for supernatural truths and demonic words for divine words.[15]
