“Behold, I have become human. If you should not want to join me in becoming God, you would do me wrong.” This statement occurs in the movie “Into Great Silence” (at 25:10 minutes in the second part).
I have also read it as ‘Christ says: “I have been man for you, and if you do not become God for me, you wrong me.”’ in the writings of Meister Eckhart (“Meister Eckhart” by Philip L.Griggs, in “The Spiritual Athlete”, Ed. Ray Berry, Joshua Press, Olema, California, page 262).
The statement is not in the Bible. I would like to know the exact source of the statement.

I have never watched nor heard of the film, but according to a simple Google search it was Meister Eckhart. This is according to two sources.

I hope that helps, and God bless you,

Thank you,

Hello,

Are you referring to Into Great Silence, as in the documentary of the Carthusian monks of Chartreuse? Could you please provide a link?

Thanks.
 
Entirely consistent with the writings of the early Christians, and I think the Orthodox and the Eastern Rite Catholics have done a better job promoting the message of divinization (theosis). Hat tip to them.
