FROM JESUS CHRIST FOR YOUR SOUL
This spiritual dialogue is a literary and devotional gem that offers a path to serenity and confidence in the midst of life's tribulations. It is a constant invitation to open the heart to Christ, who promises to transform human miseries into temples of his glory.
In this context, the words are presented, which express the voice of Christ addressing the soul with personal and unconditional love:
“My beloved, your restless heart will not find peace until it rests in me. I am the rest of the weary, the comfort of the afflicted, the refuge of those who seek the truth. Open your soul to me, and I will fill it with my love.”
“Look, do not fear the darkness within you, for in the midst of your miseries my light shines. Know yourself, so that you may understand how much I have loved you: you are clay, but I am your potter; You are dust, but in you I have breathed my divine breath.”
“Do not look outside for what you can only find inside. I am in your heart, waiting for you to let me in. Tell me, what can the world offer you that equals my love? A treasure? I am the hidden pearl. A friend? I am the one who gave his life for you.”
“Do not be afraid. I carry your burdens with you. Every tear you shed I collect and turn into a jewel that adorns your soul. Learn to see me in your cross: I walked that path first, and I am with you always.”
“Give me all your heart, even the corners where you keep your fears and doubts. I do not seek your perfection, but your love. Trust in me, and I will make you a holy dwelling, a temple for my glory.”
“My peace I give you, not as the world gives it. It is a peace that springs from abandonment in my hands, from love that asks nothing in return. Live in me, and your soul will be like a river that flows serenely towards eternity.”
The text "Alloquia Jesu Christi ad animam fidelem" by John Justus of Landsberg (or Lanspergio) is a deeply spiritual work, framed in the devotional tradition of the Christian mystics of the 16th century. This writing, whose title is translated as "Dialogue of Jesus Christ with a faithful soul", reflects an intimate conversation between the Lord and the believing soul, with the purpose of consoling, guiding and strengthening the inner life of whoever meditates on it.
Landsberg, a Carthusian monk and pious writer, composes these words with a warm and spiritual style, aimed at awakening in the reader the desire for a deeper relationship with Christ. The text invites the soul to fully trust in God, to recognize its own limitations and weaknesses, and to rest in the infinite love of Christ.
Each paragraph is a reminder of Jesus Christ's personal love for the human soul, highlighting themes such as inner peace, acceptance of the cross, trusting abandonment, and seeking God within oneself. The language, imbued with divine tenderness, seeks to heal the reader's wounds and guide him toward a more intimate union with our God.
