St Therese Of Jesus

SAINT THERESE OF JESUS-LETTER 103: A HERMINIA VALDÉS OSSA.

We live only for Jesus. And as the angels in heaven sing your praises constantly, the Carmelite's secondary here on earth, either near the tabernacle where God is captive, Love, and in the depths of his soul in heaven, where faith tells God dwells. Our vocation is the love object, which is the greatest thing that has the heart of man. That love lies in his soul since the day they put Jesus in it the seed of vocation. It is a bonfire where the soul is consumed and merges with God. That fire will not leave anything in their path. All it disappear, even the creatures, to go to join the infinite fire of love which is God. So seeking solitude that nothing prevents him from union with the One through whom all the stops. A soul-even when you really love is that in human affections-not want to be but with the beloved, look always express what is going on in the hearts and narrower and narrower. That is why we, loving Jesus with all our soul, we just want to contemplate and speak to him alone to change their ideas and feelings for our miserable divine.

What else is richer for the soul who loves life pass before the tabernacle. He, imprisoned for his love, and she. Nothing separates them. No worries. Only must love and miss the creature in its infinite Good. He opens his heart, and makes living there forgotten everything in the world, because it reveals its infinite charm, in the light of which all else is vanity. The close and attached to it. And the soul, lost and crazy with all the tenderness of a God, despises the creatures, and just want to live alone with Love Oh dear sister, blessed us who have been selected to be the favorite wife of Jesus, without which the can not happen, because in them a true love, because the brown makes the most complete gift of all. She devoted her intelligence neglecting the humanities, his memory, forgetting everything in the world, your family, etc. Deposes her will completely, because she has no authority over anyone, and even to take a pin has to ask permission. His heart was so devoted entirely desposeyéndose all complete by poverty and refusing the slightest comfort. Finally, his body is offered in sacrifice, subject to the severest penances. What is it? Nothing, nothing and still buried in the silence inside the adorable Heart of your God. There, as the Madeleine, heard of Jesus who has chosen the better part of loving all that is needed. Nobody out there. She understands that at the touch of Jesus is deified, for this is to become immersed in Him, and, as it engulfed in Jesus, we discover in the infinite treasures of love and goodness, is slowly recognizing the Word incarnate. That's when more than ever understand the redemptive work of Salvador, the value of that divine blood, and, consumed by love, feel thirsty. Yes, thirst for the blood of their God, shed for sinful souls. Go after them to save can not. You are blind if it departs from the focus of the Light which is the Word. Then, as with Jesus is not but one person and one will, says he is thirsty for his blood and He can not but feel the same and, throwing his blood poured over souls, saves them.

A soul united and identified with Jesus can do anything. And I think that only through prayer can achieve this. While others say that the prayer ministry and souls are saved, I think it's much more difficult because it requires a great union with the Redeemer: for saving souls is nothing to give to Jesus, and what not has can not give anything. Usually souls into working life harder to come join all [God], because external things and the constant intercourse with the world and are distracted away from Jesus. I also think self-esteem can be mixed when palpated triumphs, Carmelita danger that has not, since it ignores the number of souls saved by prayer and sacrifice. And perhaps from his cell conquest, the pair that the missionaries, millions of infidels who are in the confines of the world.

How beautiful is our vocation, dear sister! We are redeeming of souls in union with our Savior. We are the hosts where Jesus dwells. They live, pray and suffer for the sinful world. Was not this the life of the most perfect of creatures, the Blessed. Virgin? She carried the Word in silence. She always prayed and suffered. Was not this life of prayer and sacrifice that Jesus owned for 30 years? Only three years spent in preaching. Is not this the life of Jesus in the tabernacle? Ah, dear sister, is no doubt that we have chosen the best part, because the brown is only with God. Ask Him to bring you soon. Come then to lose his arms divine. Come to Jesus then find a host rather than submit to His Father for souls. Let nothing make you hesitate. Look to Him awaits full of infinite love and will make you his wife. Want to make you the most intimate union. The will make you divine imbued with you. You will live in the infinite sweetness in Jesus, purity, holiness, in goodness, love of God.

Oh, if you knew the tenderness contained in his adorable heart! It is God, and swim on their criminals, those creatures who only knew a while ago to offend, and still only got unpleasantly.How could I not love him deliriously, why not despise all at the sight of her charms and endless beauty? The has all the beauty of creatures, both physical and intellectual beauty of the heart elevated to an infinite degree. What can you find that is not in Jesus?
