This reflection seeks to be a little glimpse into the prayer of the incarnate Son to his heavenly Father, a prayer of his gratitude for the Father’s love and for being able to express his love through the incarnation. It is a reflection on his joy at living the mystery of the Trinity’s life “transposed” into human flesh and human relationships.

XI. Incarnation

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.
