But Rahner gives it a this-worldly interpretation. He calls it the fulfillment of our divinization. Divinization is a term from Greek Patrology. It traditionally refers to the fullness of the Christian experience, the fullness of being alive, not in myself, but Christ living in me. For Rahner, divinization is the experience of grace par excellence.
Grace divinizes the human being for the sake of the final goal of the beatific vision.
It raises the person to the possibility of transcendence. There are two ways or modes by which God communicates the divine self. One is the offer and call of God to human freedom. It is God's invitation to transcendence. The other is our human response.
