What does Professor Henry Jones Sr mean of "illumination"?

In Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, Professor Henry Jones Sr is working on his grail diary for the Holy Grail, and he says, "May he who illuminated this... illuminate me." What does that mean?

Also, at the end, he tells his son Indiana, "Elsa never really believed in the grail. She thought she had found a prize." Indy says, "What'd you find, Dad?" He replies, "Me? Illumination." What does that mean and what was the illumination he found?
knowledge i think in this case.. truth.
@SamHarris he needed money. trucks and protection to get to where he wanted to be.. he exploited the nazis..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout So we know in illumination, he meant that the Grail was never meant to be found; yet it still got kept out of the hands of Donovan and the Nazis.

But what what he said in the beginning? "May he who illuminated this... illuminated me." What's that one mean?
