UISG Bulletin 188: Living the Mystery of the Incarnation
In this Jubilee Year of Hope, among the thousands of pilgrims who crossed the threshold of the Holy Door, consecrated women and men also celebrated their jubilee in October.
It was a great feast! Pilgrims among pilgrims, witnesses of the mystery of God-with-us who lives and works in the world, consecrated women and men became messengers of a word of life and hope for the wounded humanity of our time.
As human beings, we all need to learn to love and to allow ourselves to be loved, and God’s love waits only to be welcomed into our hearts. No one is excluded from this merciful love. Following in the footsteps of Jesus, contemplating His Face and His Word—which transform hearts and desires—consecrated women and men commit themselves to bear witness to this love and to become a sacrament of listening, care, and fraternity towards all, especially the weakest, the least, the poor.
Closeness to the poor helps us, in fact, to discover the humanity of God, to remain in harmony with His Kingdom, to keep our gaze fixed on Jesus, who out of love “emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in human likeness” (Phil 2:7), and on the brothers and sisters we meet along the way. It is a gaze which, as Simone Weil said, is “first of all attentive. The soul empties itself of all its own contents in order to receive into itself the being it is looking at, just as he is, in all his truth” (Simone Weil, Waiting for God, Harper & Row, New York, 1951, p. 115)
