If
Christ Dwells in Man
If
Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can
endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us.
He is a true friend. And I clearly see that is we expect to please him and
receive an abundance of his graces, God desires that these graces must come to
us from the hands of Christ, through his most sacred humanity, in which God
takes delight. All blessings come to us through our Lord. He will teach us, for
in beholding his life we find that he is the best example. What more do we
desire from such a good friend at our side? Unlike our friends in the world, he
will never abandon us when we are troubled or distressed. Blessed is the one
who truly loves him and always keeps him near. Whenever we think of Christ we
should recall the love that led him to bestow on us so many graces and favors,
and also the great love God showed in giving us in Christ a pledge of his love;
for love calls for love in return. Let us strive to keep this always before our
eyes and to rouse ourselves to love him. For is at some time the Lord should
grant us the grace of impressing his love on our hearts, all will become easy
for us and we shall accomplish great things quickly and without effort.
