Beauty of Life
Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 12
Reflection
“For whoever does the will of My Father
who is in heaven, he is My brother, sister, and mother.”
(Matthew 12:50)
In a life well-lived and thoughtful, Love is beauty.
In a life pure and kind, Wisdom is beauty.
In a life bright and virtuous, Truth is beauty.
Sustain the beauty of Love,
Preserve the purity of Wisdom,
Keep the brilliance of Truth—
and you will always be joyful and blessed,
for God abides in them.
Love, through its beauty, fills the entire Divine world.
Wisdom, through its purity, penetrates all of Being.
Truth, through its light, upholds the freedom of all beings in the Divine world.
Cherish Love. Seek Wisdom. Embrace Truth.
Let them be lanterns for your soul,
for through them, God reveals Himself
to those who seek Him.
Call to God through Love.
Reach for Him through Wisdom.
Draw near Him through Truth.
Only then will you hear the gentle voice of His Spirit—
speaking to your spirit,
speaking to your soul,
speaking to your mind,
and speaking to your heart.
The kindness of God always abides
in His Love, in His Wisdom, in His Truth.
Through them, His infinite kindness is revealed.
Serve the Lord with Love,
serve Him with Wisdom,
serve Him with Truth—
and you shall have life, light, and freedom.
May the beauty of Love,
the purity of Wisdom,
and the light of Truth abide in you!
Abide in them,
so they may also abide in you.
They are the new life that God is sending into the world.
The Spirit of God desires mercy, not sacrifice.
