Conscience Is the Guide
DE_BW - August 6, 2026 – Anna Maria Hosta
BTL VIII _ 233 : 8. Conscience Is the Guide
8. You who listen to Me ask Me: “Master, how can I know what is good and what is bad?” To this I answer you: I am Divine Justice, and as Justice I manifest Myself in each of you through conscience, which is the light of My Divine Spirit.
This is the “voice” of God within man, and since man possesses faculties that enable him to understand that “voice,” its “calls,” and its judgments, no one can justify himself by claiming that he does not know the path of goodness, which is the law of love and justice. What are those abilities or qualities that enable a person to hear the voice of his own guide and judge? Intuition, reason, and emotions.
BTL I_9:42-43 Free Will and Conscience. The Spiritual Struggle
42. Listen, disciples: Human beings possess free will and conscience as spiritual gifts; all are born endowed with virtues and can make use of them. Within their spirit is the light of conscience; but as the body develops, so too do the passions and evil inclinations, and these are in conflict with the virtues. God allows this to happen, for without struggle there is no merit, and this is therefore necessary for you to ascend along the spiritual path. What merit would the children of God have if they did not struggle? What would you do if you lived a life filled with happiness, as you long for in the world? Surrounded by comforts and riches, can you expect spiritual progress? — You would come to a standstill; for where there is no struggle, there is no merit.
43. But do not misunderstand; for when I speak of struggle, I mean the one you engage in to overcome your weaknesses and passions. These struggles are the only ones I permit people to undergo so that they may master their selfishness and material desires, so that the soul, enlightened by the Spirit, may take its rightful place.
BTL I. – 14 : 64-65 The Helpful Voice of God in the Conscience
64. Some of you come to Me seeking comfort, or in search of a solution to a problem or an answer to a question, after having consulted the scholars or divined the stars—because you lacked faith and did not possess the strength or the certainty of one who truly believes; yet truly I tell you, My divine will stands above all knowledge of the future. Whoever loves, whoever believes, is united with Me, for I am love, reason, and justice.
65. Do not forget that you are My children; and if you know how to live in harmony with Me, you will have no need to ask your fellow human beings, nor to consult books or the stars, for I speak to your soul through the Spirit, and when you hear it, you will govern yourselves with wisdom and know how to live in fulfillment of My Will.
BTL I. – 20:40–43 Free Will and Conscience
40. You tell Me that because of your free will, you have fallen into mistakes and errors. To this I reply that through this gift, you can rise infinitely beyond the point from which you began your development.
41. In addition to free will, I placed My light within the spirit of every soul so that no one would go astray; but those who did not wish to hear My voice or, in their longing for spiritual light, did not wish to turn inward, were soon seduced by the countless beauties of human life, lost the support of My Law for their souls, and were bound to stumble and fall.
42. A single transgression brought about many painful consequences, precisely because imperfection is not in harmony with divine love.
43. Those who, submissive and repentant, immediately returned to the Father and humbly asked Him to purify them and absolve them of the transgressions they had just committed, were received by the Lord with infinite love and mercy; He comforted their souls, sent them forth to make amends for their mistakes, and strengthened them in their mission.
