162nd Meditation
“I am the true source of the Law, and you should reflect it. Since I come to confirm to you once again that it is a Law of love, you should be apostles who, inflamed by love, seek delicate and gentle souls, so that My Kingdom of love may expand among all” (Message of the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
The Father wants us to be a reflection of His love. God’s love is to be made visible in each of us in many ways. Just as we never tire of contemplating the beauty of what the Father has created, so – and even more so – our Father delights in us when he sees His glory reflected in our being, when rivers of living water flow from within us into the desert of this world, and we become bearers of the water of His love:
“He showed me the river of life, rising from the throne of God and of the Lamb and flowing crystal-clear. Down the middle of the city street, on either bank of the river were the trees of life, which bear twelve crops of fruit in a year, one in each month, and the leaves of which are the cure for the nations” (Rev 22:1-2).
Not only are we to be recipients of God’s grace, but the Heavenly Father actively engages us in the expansion of His Kingdom, as children inflamed by His love. Through us, He wants to find “delicate and gentle souls” and draw them to His Heart; souls who are receptive to receive God’s immeasurable love for us, and who then become themselves messengers of this paternal love.
If we become a reflection of the Father’s love, those souls who are thirsty and yearning for it will let themselves be found. The Law of love will envelop them, so that they will find their home in it. Once they have found it and drunk from the fountain of love, it will be this same love that will impel them to point other people to the tree of life.
This is how the Kingdom of God spreads among people.
