Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children, I am calling you to accept my words which I am speaking to you as a mother, with a simplicity of heart, so that you may set out on the way of complete light and purity, of the singular love of my Son, man and God. A joy-a light indescribable in human words-will penetrate your soul and the peace and love of my Son will take hold of you. I desire this for all of my children..." (June 2, 2018)
Our Lady speaks to us from heaven about something we have not seen, have not heard, cannot explain, something that is experienced in heaven and is being offered to us. This is her Son, the Light of the world. This is her Son, Light inexpressible.
St. John encountered Jesus, when He was on the Ile of Patmos, in a vision and describes the light that is Jesus this way:
I, John, your brother, who share with you in Jesus the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying, "Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Per'gamum and to Thyati'ra and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to La-odice'a."
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden girdle round his breast; his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters; in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one; I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. Now write what you see, what is and what is to take place hereafter. (Rev. 1:9-19)
Jesus is described as being "light" by St. John. His face was like the sun shining in full strength! It was so powerful that John fell as if dead!! He collapsed at the presence of Jesus' light. This light is not like the light we know on earth. It is life-giving, sustaining, communicating, comforting, powerful, pure and completely loving. It is love on a scale we cannot imagine! Jesus is light and love, which sounds generic, but I believe that when we see Him as He is, we will be wowed by that light and love as we have never been wowed!! We will contemplate that light, drink in that love, ponder and praise that light and love without ceasing for eternity. We will know Him as He is!
"Beloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." (1 John 3:2)
But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him," (1Cor 2:9)
May we all receive this grace: "A joy-a light indescribable in human words-will penetrate your soul and the peace and love of my Son will take hold of you."Please Lord Jesus, take hold of us, fill us with yourself. May we receive and become Your Love!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
