Quote of the day, 19 January: St. Mary of Jesus Crucified

You who fly… little birds, good news!
At the foot of the altar I saw myself wholly naked.

At the feet of Mary, cast off everything!
O mountain so vast, hide us from the roaring lions…
Show me the path of the narrow way…
Wash me in the blood of the Innocent…

I see the Lamb, and the flock that follows the Beloved
and sings to the Most High.

Rise up, rise up!
You who sleep here below, awaken!
Time is passing—awaken!

The Lamb advances and knocks at the door—open to Him.
Prepare the incense of your heart to bring it to Him,
to be offered before the Lamb.

Awaken, you who sleep!

I delight in Jesus; I am about to delight in Him.
He has promised me four days of rest.

The bread destined for me—
it is the adorable Mother who has blessed it.

Praise, my soul, your Creator made a little Lamb—
it is out of love!

Cover yourself with your own dung.
Ah! the King offers Himself for you always, always.

Annihilate yourselves.
Your salvation is forever offered to His Father
for love of you.

Do you know from where this happiness comes?
The hardest Rock has become like wax.
At Your presence everything softens,
everything melts like wax consumed by fire.

O Power—who can understand You?
O hidden mystery my soul cannot grasp—

Come down to bless Your Creator.
Go, rest within Yourself the purest wheat.

The Most High will make His dwelling.
He comes to live everything with us,
O purest wheat.

The Lord does not love wheat mixed with impurities.
Choose it Yourself, O Most High.
Wash away the dust that covers it,
that dims its whiteness.

O Most High, enlighten it with Your light;
purify it with love.

The Most High is coming.

My soul—at every moment the Most High continually descends.
He has come to my soul; He has chosen it.
My soul delights and trembles
when the Lord makes His dwelling.

Your salvation has come to you.

Farewell, land of exile.
My soul can endure it no longer—
for a little while, I have rest.

Fly, my soul…

Saint Mary of Jesus Crucified (Mariam Baouardy)

Cahiers Réservés, 6

Note: Mariam’s reference to her nakedness echoes the spiritual doctrine of Saint John of the Cross. In The Dark Night, II.9, he writes: “the spirit must be simple, pure, and naked as to all natural affections, actual and habitual, in order to be able to communicate freely in fullness of spirit with the divine wisdom in which, on account of the soul’s purity, the delights of all things are tasted to a certain eminent degree.”

Pleasure, which is fundamentally the intensified awareness of reality, springs from a passionate openness to the world and love of it.
