"The Divine Image of Obedience"

November 8, 1900 – Volume 4 Luisa writes:     Continuing with His usual delays in coming, I was feeling all the weight of His privation, when, all of a sudden, He came and, I don’t know why, He posed me this interrogative: “Would you be able to tell Me why obedience is so glorified, and receives such honor as to imprint the divine Image in the soul?” All confused, I did not know what to answer, but through an intellectual light which He sent to me, blessed Jesus answered Himself...     He said: “Obedience is so glorified because she has the virtue of unveiling the human passions from their very roots. She destroys in the soul everything which is earthly and material, and to her great honor she gives back to the soul her original state — that is, the way she was created by God in her original justice, before being cast out of the terrestrial Eden. In this sublime state, the soul feels strongly drawn to everything that is good; she feels all that is holy and perfect as inborn within herself, and greatest horror at even the shadow of evil...obedience has the virtue of divinizing human nature and making it acquire the divine qualities. The more the soul lets herself be handled by this most experienced hand, the more of the divine she acquires, destroying her own being. This is why she is so glorified and honored; so much so, that I Myself submitted to her and was honored and glorified by this; and through her I gave back honor and glory to all My children, which they had lost because of disobedience.”                                                                                      - Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta Buddy Comfort - vocals and guitar from the album, "Brother Sun, Sister Moon", http://www.buddycomfort.com, words and music by Donovan Leitch.Support the show
