6476. As often as I have recited the Lord's Prayer I have had the plain feeling of being raised towards the Lord, as though I was being hauled up. At these times my ideas were open and communication with some communities in heaven was consequently established. I have also noticed that the Lord flowed into each detail of the Prayer and so into every specific idea in my thought gained from the meaning of the things stated in the Prayer. This influx has been indescribably varying, that is to say, it has not been the same on one occasion as on another. This also proved how boundless were the things contained in each detail of the Prayer, and that the Lord was present in each of those details.
