Our Lady of Sorrows
This morning my reawakening from my habitual short sleep, around dawn, was marked by these words, spoken by a soft, slight voice, barely a breath:
“I am the Charity of God. The channel of love between the Father and the Son, the channel of charity between God and men. Free and fruitful, I go and circulate, distribute and gather, expand and concentrate. Through Me the Eternal is in you. Through Me you are in the Eternal. I am the first Power. I shall be the last Power. I am the eternal Power.
“Everything will end. I shall not. My living and reigning are eternal because I am the Perfection of God’s perfections and the perfection of man’s perfections. When nothing is necessary for man any longer because there is no more time or poor life, flesh, and exile, but only eternity and spirit, when nothing has to be done any more by God continuously on behalf of creation, for of all creation only Heaven will remain with its now complete, eternal inhabitants, I will still be. I will be. I will be.
“And then the ‘living’ who already comprehend Me will comprehend Me completely, and their superhuman joy will come from this comprehending Me completely. For to comprehend Me completely means to comprehend God and his triune mystery. To know God perfectly, then, and be eternally absorbed into the ecstasy of this knowledge.”
The voice, of a softness even greater than Mary’s, then remained silent, leaving me blissful and elated with a joy that is not human.
