Thursday of week 32 in Ordinary Time
Saint Margaret of Scotland
Saint Gertrude, Virgin
First reading – Wisdom 7:22-8:1
“She is a reflection of the eternal light, untarnished mirror of God’s active power, image of his goodness”. The passage is a deep meditation in the action of God in the world and in our lives. After the revelation of the Holy Trinity we understand more this in the action of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Church and in our lives. One of the beautiful images by which the action of the Holy Spirit is explained in this passage is comparing it to a mirror. A mirror which reflects the eternal light of God. A mirror which perfectly reflects the power of God. When we let God act in our life, we become like a mirror which reflects the power of God which is love. The more we are untarnished the more will be correspond our love to the love of God. Let’s reflect: How much untarnished is my capacity to reflect the love of God which I receive?
