Did the Infallible Ones Receive Special Divine Help?

Certainly, at the beginning of existence, every being in the world received the divine effusion of blessings with justice. Through the exercise of their will, their choices, and their actions, they came to occupy different stations—like seeds that receive equal measures of water and sunlight, yet whose inner nature, by virtue of their own choice, determines how much they absorb and how they draw upon the abundant blessings of the universe. Thus each came to its own station. Without doubt, the larger and stronger a tree grows, the greater its need for the blessings of the Generous Lord. But a seed that, through its own shortcomings, remains no more than a small sapling will gain no more from the sea’s waters, even if they are poured into its very being, than its capacity allows.
