-- E – 1. As the Holy Bible reveals to us: There is only “one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.” (Eph 4:6) Therefore, one may say the Process of Salvation is an increasing emerging process of God the eternal Uncreated Omnipresent Existence Itself (known as Ipsum Esse Subsistent according to St. Thomas Aquinas, 1225-1274) from the depths of all creation as the deepest everlasting omnipresent layer per se of all created esse/existence, to purify all creation of its un-divine nature, so as to share Its divine nature with all creatures until its perfection in Heaven. Unfortunately, there are quite a few living creatures who have consciously rejected God to partake in this process of divinization, ending up only in the everlasting Hell. 2. The Process of Salvation is a process of Easterization celebrating the transcosmic Resurrection of “the Alpha and the Omega --- who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty” (Rev 1:8) of all creation, until its perfection in Heaven (cf. Rev 21-22). 3. The whole Process of Salvation may be summed up in three major stages, i.e., (I) the uncreated presence of the Uncreated Ecclesia or Assembly of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit; (II) the created presence of the created ecclesia or assembly of all creatures; (III) the unending union between the Uncreated Ecclesia and the created ecclesia. Thus, the whole Salvation Process may be depicted as the process of Ecclesification, i.e. the becoming of the eschatological Ecclesia in Heaven in which the two ecclesial assemblies or communities become forever and ever united as one. 4. The Process of Salvation, individually and collectively, is a process of making our ungodly, selfish, self-centered ego smaller and smaller, until it completely disappears in one’s most loving and self-emptying union with God in Heaven. 5. Our Lord Jesus Christ solemnly proclaimed: “I will be with you always to the close of the age.” (Mt 28:20b) Thus, the Process of Salvation, individually and collectively, is the process of encountering, experiencing and partaking of the very presence and nature of Jesus Christ the Emmanuel (i.e., God with us) until its perfection in Heaven. 6. Jesus said, “Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 18:3).The Process of Salvation for all individuals, therefore, is a process of learning to acquire the complete God-pleasing trust and faith of little children in God on the one hand, and to depend completely on God in our constant diligent cooperation with God’s divine power or grace in such a constant divine empowerment (cf. 2Pet 1:3) on the other hand, , until its perfection in the kingdom of Heaven. 7. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s personal encounter and become a part of good and evil until its perfection in Heaven or Hell. 8. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s personal encountering and overcoming the destructive power of sins and sinful habits which can effectively block off God’s most loving and gentle omnipresence, until its perfection in Heaven. 9. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s personal encounter of God’s omnipresence in both the natural and supernatural realms until its perfection in Heaven. 10. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s encounter in his/her personal relationship with the most loving God until its perfection in Heaven. 11. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s encounter in his/her personal relationship with God the Father until its perfection in Heaven. 12. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s encounter in his/her personal relationship with Jesus, until its perfection in Heaven. 13. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s encounter in his/her personal relationship with God the Holy Spirit until its perfection in Heaven. 14. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s personal encounter or relationship with God the Most Holy Trinity until its perfection in Heaven. 15. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s encounter of his/her personal spiritual growth as a partaker of God’s divine nature, grace or energy (cf. 2Pet 1:4) until its perfection in Heaven. 16. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s encounter in his/her personal relationship with the Mother of God who is also Our Dearest Heavenly Mother, until its perfection in Heaven. 17. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s encounter in his/her personal relationship with God’s Saints in Heaven who are also our very dear friends here on earth, until its perfection in Heaven. 18. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s personal encounter or relationship with God’s Holy Angels, including our personal God-given Guardian Angel, who are also our very dear friends here on earth, until its perfection in Heaven. 19. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is the process of one’s personal encounter and partaking of God’s omnipresent divine nature or divine energies (cf. 2Pet 1:4) until its perfection in Heaven. 20. The Process of Salvation is a process of Divine Energization until all created things are amazingly divinized and forever filled with God’s Divine Energy in Heaven, except Hell and those living beings there. 21. Apparently, the greatest spiritual problem for all Christians today is that we do not pray enough daily. Thus, the Process of Salvation for all Christians is a process of learning to pray enough daily, until its perfection in Heaven. According to Our Heavenly Mother in Medjugorje, each Christian should pray three hours daily with the heart (cf. https://www.medjugorje.org/livingmessages.htm). 22. The Process of Salvation is a process of Esse-esse-union until its perfect fulfillment in Heaven. Here Esse (Latin for existence) represents God’s everlasting Uncreated Omnipresent Existence, and esse represents the existence of all creation. Indeed, only creatures who are filled with the same divine nature of the Creator can be united with Him forever in Heaven. 23. The Process of Salvation is the process of the Uncreated Esse (in the Holy Trinity ad intra), the created esse (in the Holy Trinity ad extra), and their eschatological union, until its perfection (in the Fulfillment of the Most Holy Trinity ad extra) in Heaven. Indeed, only those creatures having departed from God’s divine nature forever will not be in eternal union with God in Heaven. 24. Indeed, according to St. Thomas Aquinas, “eternity is nothing else but God Himself.” (Summa Theologica, PT 1, Q. 10, Art. 2) In addition, “God communicates His eternity.” (Ibid.) Accordingly, St. Thomas enthusiastically accepted and promoted the definition of eternity given by Boëthius, i.e., “Eternity is the simultaneously-whole and perfect possession of interminable life.” (Summa Theologica, PT 1, Q. 10, Art. 1) Therefore, the Process of Salvation is a process in which all creatures are to partake of the eternity of God in and through Christ until its perfection in Heaven, except for those who have consciously refused again and again such a divine invitation. 25. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is a process of encountering and partaking of God’s very eternity and eternal life personally, until its perfection in Heaven. 26. The Process of Salvation for all individuals is a process of experiencing or re-experiencing until its perfection in Heaven that there is only one body, one Church, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one Eucharist, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, who is above all, through all and in all (cf. Eph 4:4-6). 27. During the Last Supper, Jesus said: “I tell you I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” (Lk 22:16) The Process of Salvation for all individuals, therefore, is a process of the eternal fulfillment of the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist for all the faithful people of God, until its perfection in Heaven. 28. The process of salvation is the process of the Most Holy Trinity reaching out to unite Itself most intimately with all human beings in and through Jesus Christ, in particular in and through the Sacrament of the Most Holy Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ Himself, until its perfection in Heaven. 29. To be sure, the divine passion and death of Jesus, as well as the real presence of Christ Himself in the Eucharistic host are two most compelling proofs that Jesus Christ “the Alpha and Omega --- who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty”(Rev 1:8) and “the King of kings and Lord of lords” (Rev 19:16) of all creation does love us all with all His Heart, all His Mind, all His Soul, and all His Strength (amid all kinds of disbelief, abuses, and sacrileges). Hence, the Process of Salvation is a process of discovering or re-discovering such an astonishing divine love, moving us therefore to love Jesus in return with all our heart, all our mind, all our soul, and all our strength, until its perfection in Heaven. 30. The Salvation Process is a process of Holy Eucharistification of all creation, i.e., for all creation to resemble the infinitely holy Holy Eucharist and be filled with God’s divine nature, divine light or divine energy, until its perfection in Heaven. 31. Jesus said solemnly: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.” (Mt 28:18-20) Thus, the Process of Salvation for a believing Christian is a process of becoming a God-pleasing witness or evangelist in Christ, through Christ and for Christ, until its perfection in Heaven. 32. The Process of Salvation for the whole humanity is a process of the eternal fulfillment of the process of evangelization (cf. Mt 28:18-20) in Jesus, through Jesus and for Jesus, until its perfection in Heaven. 33. “For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Eph 6:12) The Process of Salvation, thus, is the process for all creation to be increasingly set free from all the evil spirits and their evil darkness until its perfection in Heaven. 34. The Process of Salvation is a process of God’s revelation and defeat of all evils which have been festering in unspeakable darkness, until its perfection in Heaven. 35. The Process of Salvation, individually, collectively, and cosmically, is a holy evolution or process of all beings in Christ, through Christ, with Christ and for Christ until its perfection in Heaven. Here Fr. Teilhard de Chardin, S.J. (1881-1955) is talking about the growth of the Christus Totus (i.e., the Total Christ --- Christ and His Mystical Body): “Since Christ was born, since he has ceased to grow, since he is dead, everything has continued to be moved, because Christ has not finished forming Himself. He has not gathered to himself the final fold of his Robe of flesh and love, by which his faithful form him. The mystical Christ has not attained his full growth, nor hence has the cosmic Christ. At the same time they both are and are becoming, the one and the other; and in the prolongation of this begetting is placed the ultimate mainspring of all created activity. Christ is the goal of the Evolution of beings, even the natural evolution of beings; evolution is holy.” Teilhard, “La vie cosmique” (24 March 1916), Hymne de l’Univers, p. 144 (See Petro Bilaniuk, Studies in Eastern Christianity, Vol. I, p. 82) 36. The Process of Salvation for all normal individuals is the process of encountering excarnation or death (i.e., the separation of the soul from the body) until its perfection when the soul and the body are forever re-united in Heaven or in Hell. 37. Through His redemptive passion and death on the Holy Cross, the Process of Salvation is a process of Christ’s exchanging His infinitely holy, majestic, perfect, and glorious divinity with our sins, faults, weaknesses, sicknesses, sufferings, bad habits, imperfections, etc., until its perfection in Heaven. However, it is God’s divine justice for each of us to partake to some small extent also of Christ’s redemptive afflictions or sufferings for us in this divine exchange. St. Paul says: “Now I rejoice in what I am suffering … and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church.” (Col 1:24) 38. The Process of Salvation, individually and collectively, is a process of partaking in Christ’s exorcising of all evil spirits and evil energies from the present universe into everlasting Hell, until its perfection in Heaven (cf. Rev 20-22). Therefore, each human being, just as each Holy Angel, is called by God to be such a faithful and dedicated follower of Christ, through Christ, with Christ and for Christ. 39. The Process of Salvation, individually and collectively, is a process of experiencing God more and more personally from the ascetical stage to the mystical stage, until its perfection in Heaven. 40. The Process of Salvation, individually and collectively, is a process of the increasing fulfillment of the transfigured and glorified extra-divine reality (i.e., created reality which is not part of the divine God) until its perfection in Heaven. “Thus the transfigured and resurrected Lord is the archetype of the transfigured and glorified extra-divine reality at the end of time.” (Petro Bilaniuk, Studies in Eastern Christianity, Vol. I, p. 25)
