«The excellence of God» | The Work of the Church. Year of Faith




The light of the Holy Spirit breaks forth with force in the proximity of Pentecost. His light prepares our souls, makes us feel detached from all created things and instils into them an unquenchable need for the Eternal One.

Once that the light of Truth makes us penetrate God´s mystery and perceive the infinite distance that exists between Him and the creature, it’s then that Mother Trinidad cries out: “how can the creature be compared to the Creator?” And at the same time she can understand why only Jesus, in His humanity, can adore God as He infinitely expects from men.

«I want the Being…!» | The Work of the Church. Year of Faith



Our tiredness of life, the sorrows of our existence; the lack of satisfaction for not finding what we need… all this makes the soul cry out: I want the Being…! And this cry doesn’t mean our will to be detached from people, but our will to find God.

Life without possessing God is a continuous anguish and torture, and this grief cannot be easily soothed by anything except God. This is why when we do not possess God it seems that we live immersed in a lethargic life. [...]

«The Church, mystery of unity (II)» | The Work of the Church. Year of Faith



The present writing deals again with the same theme of the previous week. We can see in its exposition -above all in the unabridged version, which you can download at the end of the post- with the charity of the Holy Spirit, which the wrong behaviours and the necessary reforms to be done are in order to bring back to the face of the Church Her brilliance and beauty.

She also explains, abiding in the divine thought, the reason for the need of the charismas and of the Church´s Institutions. One can thus understand what “The Work of the Church” is inside the Church: It is the work that God has willed to make Himself, personally, to manifest the mystery of the Church; this is the reason for so many gifts and so complete communications.

«The Church, mystery of unity (I)» | The Work of the Church. Year of Faith



Already since 1959, in the perspective of the Council and for all ages to come, the Lord had prepared Mother Trinidad with a special capacity in view of a singular and most personal mission that He were to give her in relation to the Vicar of Christ and to Bishops. This mission being to love them, support them, comfort them, offer herself up for them and help them with all the communications God made to her soul in order to present the true face of the Church.

Besides the fact that God had made known to her the luminous depths of the divine plans, He has also given her an abundant light with regard to how to carry out His will for the Church. In the first part of this writing she explains to us how the Lord made her see what His thinking was regarding the Second Vatican Council, the mission of each person in the Church, the need for reformation and the manner to accomplish it.

«The attribute of Mercy in God» | The Work of the Church. Year of Faith



All attributes in God are intrinsically a subsistent glorification for Him. He is glorified by being those attributes for Himself in an act of being which is totally fulfilled in His consubstantial joy of Divinity. Yet, God is not mercy for Himself. Mercy is the great attribute of compassionate love that is given to us through the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

The whole life of Christians is nourished by God´s mercy. God is infinitely good, Christ is the infinite mercy incarnate, Mary is the mother of the divine mercies and the Holy Church is a mystery of divine mercy. [...]
