St Anthony of Padua

2 Cor 3:15-4:1, 3-6, Ps 85, Matthew 5: 20-2?

Turned into the image we reflect

This statement takes my breath away … “turned into the image we reflect”

When I accept that I am loved unconditionally, unreservedly, God will be known. My face, my demeanour, my attitude, my words, my actions, will radiate divine love.

But it is no easy ride. We must find a way to become aware of what Jesus has achieved for us. Silence, scripture, contemplation, create space for Jesus’ voice to be heard.

Only then can we be turned into the image we reflect.
