The Son

Jesus came. The world heard. Jesus went. The world saw. Jesus smiles. The
world becomes.<br>
<br>
Jesus wanted. The world gave not. The world wanted. Jesus gave. In addition,
He became.<br>
<br>
Jesus had the chance to tell the world the matchless virtue of Forgiveness.
Jesus did not have the chance to tell the world the unavoidable necessity
of the Sword.<br>
<br>
Jesus’ human birth was the Question. His Divine Death was not only an Answer,
but The Answer.<br>
<br>
God was more than successful in sending down His Son to the earth. Humanity
suffered worse than Defeat in not receiving the Son.<br>
<br>
Jesus had. The world needed. The world had. Jesus accepted.<br>
<br>
Jesus did. He unveiled Himself. The world did. It veiled Itself.<br>
<br>
God smiled through Jesus’ eyes. Humanity cried through Jesus’ eyes.<br>
<br>
Jesus was Mary’s earthly creation. Mary was His spiritual creation. She protected
the Plant. The tree sheltered her. And she within herself shelters His Father’s
entire creation.<br>
<br>
Sensuality cannot live in Purity. But Purity can live in sensuality. Mary’s
Purity touches not only the ceaseless flow of human impurity, but also its
fount: Ignorance.<br>
<br>
Human impurity knows only how to cry out. Mary’s divine Purity certainly
listens to its cry. But her dynamic wand must wait for the Hour of God. Furthermore,
the receptivity of every individual is of paramount importance.<br>
<br>
Jesus’ body showed the earth how to use. Jesus’ soul showed the Heavens how
to descend.<br>
<br>
Earth’s blunders are great. God’s Compassion is greater. Jesus knew it. He
prayed for this blessing: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they
do.”<br>
<br>
God is both Reason and Faith. Protestantism wants to see God through His
immaculate Reason. Catholicism wants to see God through His implicit Faith.<br>
<br>
Catholicism feels that Christ eternally Was. Protestantism feels that Christ
gradually Became.<br>
<br>
Who is our peerless friend? One who consciously or unconsciously helps us
to fulfil God’s Will within and without. Jesus knew it. “Friend,” He addressed
Judas. The significance of Judas’ kiss Heaven knew, but the earth has yet
to know.<br>
