Mirror of Jesus

From The Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Date: February 3, 1912

Description: Book of Heaven. Vol. 10, February 3, 1912. If in the soul there is no purity, upright working and love, she cannot be the mirror of Jesus.

Luisa:

Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus came, and placing His holy hand under my chin, He told me:

Jesus:

“My daughter, you are the reflection of my glory. ”

Luisa:

Then He added:

Jesus:

“In the world I need mirrors to which to go and look at Myself. Only then can a fount serve as mirror in which people can reflect themselves, when the fount is pure; but it is of no use for the fount to be pure if the waters are cloudy. It is useless for that fount to boast about the preciousness of the stones on which it is founded, if the waters are cloudy; nor can the sun make its rays perpendicular so as to render those waters silvery and communicate to them the variety of colors; nor can people reflect themselves in it. My daughter, virgin souls are the similes of the purity of the fount: the crystal clear and pure waters are the upright working, the sun that make its rays perpendicular is Me, the variety of colors is love. Therefore, if I do not find purity, upright working and love in a soul, she cannot be my mirror. These are my mirrors in which I make my glory be reflected; with all the others, even if they are virgins, not only can I not reflect Myself, but if I wanted to do so, I would not recognize Myself in them. And the sign of all this is peace; from this you will be able to know how very scarce are the mirrors I have in the world. In fact, very few are the peaceful souls. ” (Book of Heaven) (Divinewillapp.com).

Scripture Meditations- Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:8).

Reflection- O Lord we love You, we bless You and we adore You because You want to see in us Your Purity, without which we will not see God (Hebrews 12:4). You want us to be Your mirrors, pure in intention and peaceful always. So let us always keep our minds on what is above- on You who are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, gracious and all excellence and always worthy of our praise! Fiat!
