All that Jesus reveals to Luisa about the process of fusion with His Humanity, and thus His Divinity are consistent with what is known in the Catholic Church as “Divinization” or “theosis” – the transforming effect of divine grace to make man more like God. Fused with Jesus, human acts become “divinized”.
CCC 460 The Word became flesh to make us “partakers of the divine nature“:78 “For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God.”79 “For the Son of God became man so that we might become god.”80 “The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods.”
Many church fathers and theologians proclaim the same:
- “God was made man, that man might be made God” (St. Augustine).
- “Let us seek to be like Christ, because Christ also became like us: to become gods through him since he himself, through us, became a man” (St. Gregory Nazianzus).
- “The only begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods” (St. Thomas Aquinas).
