Here is a reflection on the mystery of the annunciation of the angel Gabriel to Mary, and her conception of Christ by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. May she fashion in our hearts the same childlike trust, docility, and receptivity, the same spousal intimacy, the same fruitful love. The Church and the world so deeply need this mystery to live powerfully within us, this mystery that is the heart of authentic holiness, and a reflection of the Heart of God.

Joshua
I know that your heart yearns, little one, to create something beautiful, a testament of love, a reflection, in the dimness of this world, of the radiant beauty of my own eternal light. I know the longing within to give birth without, the desire to create, sharing in eternal creativity. I want you to know, beloved, and to feel that the greatest masterpiece which I desire for you is the unspeakable beauty which is you yourself. You, the one whom I infinitely love, are the icon, transparent to my shining glory, enfolded in my grace, a blaze of fiery light bursting through the eyes, a figure whose countenance, whose heart, whose life is a reflection of the life, the heart, the face which is my own.
