Continuous Paschal Mystery Doctrine

The doctrine that each act performed in the Divine Will contains within itself the entire three-stage paschal mystery — “As the soul enters my Will, I am conceived in her act; as she performs her act, I develop my Life; as she completes it, I rise again, and the soul remains conceived in Me, develops her life in Mine, and rises again in my own acts” — the Incarnation/conception, the development-of-Life, and the Resurrection being not a once-past historical sequence but the recurring form of each DW act, so that the paschal mystery is perpetually reenacted in the unit of a single act and the DW soul lives in a continuous Easter. The scriptural ground is Galatians 4:19 (until Christ is formed in you — the formation verb governing the entry-into-DW as Incarnation-parallel), Luke 1:35 (the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you — the Annunciation overshadowing as the type for the soul’s entry into the DW), John 12:24 (unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it bears much fruit — the death-and-resurrection structure enacted in each completed act), 2 Corinthians 4:10–11 (always carrying in the body the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested — the Pauline form of the continuous dying-and-rising in each creaturely act), and Romans 8:11 (if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies — the resurrection-power active within the DW soul in each act).
