MEDITATION ...

from the 'Autobiography' of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, virgin

(ibid., Lisieux 1957.227-229)
In the heart of the Church I will be love

As my aspirations were immense for me a martyr, I I addressed the letters of St. Paul, to finally find an answer. My eyes fell by chance on chapters 12 and 13 of First Corinthians, and read the first one that everyone can not be both apostles, prophets and teachers and that the Church is composed of various members and that the eye can not be both hands. A clear answer some, but not enough to satisfy my desires and give me peace.

I kept reading and I lost my heart. So I found a phrase that gave me relief, "Aspire to the higher gifts. And I'll show you a more excellent way "(1 Cor 12:31). The Apostle declares that even the best gifts are nothing without charity, and that this same love is the most perfect security that leads to God I had found peace at last.

Considering the mystical body of the Church, I found myself in one of the members which St. Paul had described, or rather, I wanted to see me at all. Charity gave me the key to my vocation. I realized that the Church has a body composed of various members, but in this body State can not miss the most noble and necessary. I realized that the Church has a heart, a heart burning with love. I realized that only love leads to action and that the Church's members off this love, the apostles would no longer preached the gospel, the martyrs would no longer shed their blood. Understood and knew that love in itself embraces all vocations, that love is all that extends to all times and all places, in a word, that love is eternal.

Then with great joy and ecstasy of the soul cried out: O Jesus, my love, I finally found my calling. My vocation is love. Yes, I found my place in the Church this place and you gave me, O my God

In the heart of the Church, my mother, I will love and so will all my desire and will result in realtà.2Fspan>
