Likutei Moharan 55:2/ליקוטי מוהר"ן נ״ה:ב׳

12. But drawing the aspect of the holiness of the Land of Israel now, in exile, while she is under the control of the Other Side, so that her holiness is incapable of being revealed—it is nonetheless possible to reveal and draw her holiness even in this bitter exile, in the aspect of “Thus even this too in their enemies’ land” (Leviticus 26:44). That is, even in the bitter exile it is possible to reveal the aspect of “this too.”

2By what means is it possible to draw the holiness of the Land of Israel?—by means of the illumination of patriarchal merit. As in the teaching of the Zohar (III, 174a): Wherever the patriarchs are present, the Divine Presence is present, in the aspect of “I will remember My covenant with Yaakov… and I will remember the Land” (Leviticus 26:42). When the light of patriarchal merit shines, the holiness of the Land of Israel is revealed. Then not only is a person saved from someone wicked, but he also sees happen to the wicked person what the wicked person wanted to have happen to him.
