To “mirror” Jesus

Sayings of Chiara Lubich on the Word

The words of Jesus! They must have been his greatest art. The Word that speaks in human words: what content, what intensity, what an accent, what a voice! We will hear it once again in Paradise. He will speak to us. The Word of God is unlike any other. It has the power to accomplish what it says. It generates Jesus in our soul and the souls of others. The Word must become action and guide our lives. In this way it appears attractive. You only need to know a few letters and a few rules of grammar in order to read and write, but if you do not know them you remain illiterate all your life. In the same way, whoever does not assimilate one by one the words of the Gospel, does not know how to write Christ with his or her life. To form Jesus in us, only a few sentences are necessary. We have no other book besides the Gospel, we have no other science, or art. There is Life! Whoever finds it does not die. Chiara Lubich
