The Face of a MYSTIC

JMJ

In the dimension of man there is a capacity to live in accordance with God’s Divine will.  In this union a relationship is deepened through the acceptance and willingness of the heart to surrender to the Providence of His Divine Hand.  In this surrender, a maturity of the soul begins to develop and the heart begins to soften according to the Hand of God’s loving formation of the soul.  When one begins to truly love, prayer is automatic; for one can not help but spend time with the Beloved.  In this dialogue, a sharing in the passion of Christ begins to embrace the soul and the intimacy between Man and God becomes a reality.  In this reality, love is the ultimate end.  Love is the driving factor that draws the soul towards His Creator and Eternal Father.  The intimacy is so great that love is encountered in its deepest essence and love is the motivation that fills the soul to continue to serve according to the Plan of God.  Love is only conveyed and witnessed in every action.  Love is the only answer to the dilemma! Love can only be the face that will heal, the hand that will give and receive, the eyes that will see that in every heart the face of God is hidden and longing to be enveloped in a soul that is destined to be with Him forever.  We must not undermine the power of love conveyed in the power of prayer.  The love between God and a soul can do wonders in the dimension of mankind and the salvation of souls.  We are indebted to Our Eternal Father for sending us His Only Begotten Son to reveal to the whole of humanity the meaning of love.  And we can only encounter this in prayer; a dialogue between the soul and his Beloved.  The closer we draw near to our Beloved, the closer we come to the depths of His Abounding love for all mankind. 

Eternal Word of the Father, I am in love with You and long to be with You in Eternity forever.  May my prayer be as deep as the love that is hidden in the very depths and recesses of my very being.  May the intimacy I hold in Your Divine Plan be forever a moment of grace and witness to the intimacy You desire for every soul created in Your Image and Likeness.  We have been broken and hurt by the deceits of this world and culture.  We have been diminished and our dignity has need of restoration and we can only do this with Your Most Precious Blood washed over us.  O Divine Saviour, how great is Your love for Man that You came down to become one of us.  In Your Incarnation, You have revealed to man the capacity and value that we have been called and destined to fulfill.  Make white what has been distained.  Make pure what has been blemished.  Make love the driving factor of every human heart so that all of mankind may continue to encounter Your Abounding Love through the souls You have chosen to continue Your Saving Work and Power.  O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in Your Mercy hear and answer us.  Amen.
