The Word of Jesus is Sun

From the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

December 14, 1911 The word of Jesus is sun; it nourishes the mind, and satiates the heart with love.

I continue my most bitter days, though resigned to the Will of God. My always lovable Jesus, if He makes Himself seen, is always afflicted and taciturn; it seems He no longer wants to pay attention to me in anything. This morning, making Himself seen, He put two earrings on my ears – so shining as to look like two suns. Then He told me: “My beloved daughter, for one who is all intent on listening to Me, my word is sun, which not only delights the hearing, but nourishes the mind and satiates the heart with Me and with my Love. Ah! they don’t want to understand that all my intent is to have all of you intent within Me, without paying attention to anything else. Look at her (pointing at someone), with her way of scrutinizing everything – she pays attention to everything, she is affected by everything, up to the excesses – and even in holy things. This is nothing but a living outside of Me, and one who lives outside of Me, by necessity feels herself very much. She thinks she does honor to Me, but it is the opposite.”

Scripture Meditation 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

Reflection– O Lord we praise You, we adore You and we worship You because Your Word is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, discerning all of our thoughts and intentions. You tell Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta that indeed Your Word is Sun that nourishes the mind and satiates the heart! How You long for us to turn our attention to You and not to ourselves or all the noise that saturates us. Luisa was given two earrings to hear Your Word, let us put them on and take out those ear pods! O Lord even when we think we are listening to You we can become distracted and just caught up in ourselves, help us always to keep our eyes and our ears fixed on You! (Hebrews 12:2).
