There is No denying you!
When we embrace Mary as our Mother
And Jesus as our Brother, the Brother
who came to the Holy Family from the outside in (From His Divinity into our Humanity)
We become part of the Holy Family from the inside out (purity of soul and a growing presence of the Eucharist in us)
We become more and more like the image of Christ in the manner in which we were truly created
Others will see more and more the family resemblance by our Divinized acts and by the light of His Holy Countenance in us!
It is said that Jesus resembled closely Joseph in appearance to hide His Divine presence till it was to be truly revealed to the World!
We will ultimately spiritually resemble Christ more and more as we with selflessness and detachment from ourselves and our worldly passions and strongholds!
It must be perfect charity!
All our gifts and charisms flourish in a Christ like manner as we freely give it back to God in thanksgiving and freely give it to others in perfect charity!
They will know us by our love!
They will experience the light of Christ revealed by His Eucharistic presence in us!
Make acts of worldly detachments of your creature comforts and “perceived” needs and unite them in perfect charity to Our Lord! God responds when we unite with him by these small sacrifices of love and charity!
Make a practice to physically and spiritually unite with Christ by daily Mass and Eucharistic participation and offering for others the graces that come from the greatest prayer offering the mass yields!
Unite in Adoration “Face to Face” with Jesus in silence shutting out the world and the noise in intimate union and playful and prayerful harmony with the creator and King and our brother in the Holy Family and as children of God the Father!
Speak as you would your dearest friend and closest sibling with your deepest desires and greatest sorrows!
Empty yourself and be filled with grace so you can love God more and your fellow man better!
Strive to resemble Jesus in every thought word and deed by the gifts fruits and grace of the Holy Spirit, so much so that when you look in the mirror you see only Christ!
Let no one deny you as member of Christ Holy Family!
Strive to become the full Twin image of God (we were created in His image and likeness) through the power of the Holy Spirit, and a systematic shedding of the world, the flesh, and the devil, through self sacrifice, detachment, and perfect charity!
Let Christ manifest fully in you as you receive the food of God, the envy of the angels in the Eucharist!
Christ came from the outside in so that we become Christlike from the inside out!
Be the visible signs of Christ’s presence in a world that does not know him, or acknowledge him!
John 1:19-12
“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in His Name.”
Genesis 1:26-31, (DR)
“And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth. And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth. And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat: And to all beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done. And God saw all the things that he had made, and they were very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth day.”
