Explanatory Note

At the same time, people are reminded of God’s grace and the care He takes of His creation and the favours He bestows on them. Yet He is in no need of them while they need His care and blessings: “It is He who bestows His blessings upon you, with His angels, so that He might take you out of the depths of darkness into the light. He is truly merciful to the believers.”

All glory to God who bestows great favours and doubles them over and over again. Yet He also remembers His weak servants who have no real power of their own and whose life is only transitory. He remembers them, taking care of them and blessing them together with His angels.

“It is He who bestows His blessings upon you, with His angels, so that He might take you out of the depths of darkness into the light.” God’s light is one, comprehensive, continuous. What does not belong to it is darkness, which differs and has several depths. If people stray from God’s light, they have only darkness to live in. Nothing can save them or bring them out of this darkness except God’s light that enlightens hearts and minds, filling souls and guiding them to what suits their nature. The grace God bestows on them and the angels’ blessings and prayers for them are what takes them out of the darkness into the light. This is what happens to them when their hearts open up to faith: “He is truly merciful to the believers.”
