Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for December 14 2006 Date: December 12, 2006 07:39 pm Today's excerpt is from St. John of the Cross: "When individuals love and do good to others, they love and do good to them in the measure of their own nature and properties. Thus your Bridegroom, dwelling within you, grants you favors according to His nature. Since He is omnipotent, He omnipotently loves and does good to you; since He is wise, you feel that He loves and does good to you with wisdom; since He is infinitely good, you feel that He loves you with goodness; since He is holy, you feel that with holiness He loves and favors you; since He is just, you feel that in justice He loves and favors you...Since He is truth, you feel that He loves you in truthfulness; since He is liberal, you feel that He liberally loves and favors you, without any personal profit, only in order to do good to you; since He is the virtue of supreme humility, He loves you with supreme humility and esteem and makes you His equal, gladly revealing Himself to you in these ways of knowledge, in this His countenance filled with graces, and telling you in this His union, not without great rejoicing: "I am yours and for you and delighted to be what I am so as to be yours and give myself to you." Who, then, will be able to express your experience, O happy soul, since you know that you are so loved and with such esteem exalted?" ("The Living Flame of Love, Stanza 3) God Bless. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!
