Divine Appeal Reflection - 116
Today, consider in Divine Appeal 116: "I make Myself visible in order to bring back lost souls."
The significance of having the image of the Adorable Jesus in our homes is a profound expression of His divine presence, love, and mercy. With its enduring reminder of Jesus' protection, direction, and call to holiness, especially in the midst of difficulties and spiritual obstacles, this holy image welcomes Jesus into our everyday life. Respecting the image of Jesus becomes a focal point that draws family members and guests nearer to Christ. As the domestic Church, the family gains much from the grace that comes from this act, which promotes togetherness, prayer, and reverence.
However, the importance of making Jesus visible in our lives is equally emphasized. Beyond displaying His image, we are called to reflect His love, mercy, and compassion through our words, actions, and the way we live our faith. By embodying Christ's virtues, we become instruments of His love, drawing others to Him through our witness. Jesus' deep desire to bring back lost souls is fulfilled not just through the image of the Adorable Jesus, but also through our lives as living testimonies to His mercy and grace.
In a world filled with distractions and temptations, the image of Jesus acts as a spiritual safeguard, a visible sign of His victory over sin and death. Yet, this protection is magnified when we make Jesus visible in every aspect of our lives, reflecting His glory and dispelling darkness. As we honor His image in our homes, let us strive to become living images of His presence, participating in His mission to bring lost souls back to the faith, and inspiring others through our devotion and example.
Prayer
Our Adorable Jesus, as we gaze at Your sacred image, we humbly place our hearts before You. Fill us with Your love and mercy. Make us living images of Your presence, reflecting Your compassion and grace to all we meet. Strengthen our faith and guide us to draw others closer to You.
Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist, intercede for us.
