As I sat with the readings from today in prayer last night I was drawn to the four walls and the three gates at each one. Three facing north, three east, three west and three south and how north, east, west, and south are "news" and there was no need for any light because the Lamb was there. I began to ponder these four walls each with three gates and the Lord begin to draw me into the four walls representing prayer, penance, silence and solitude and the three gates being the Holy Trinity in each one. When we allow the Trinity into each of the four walls of prayer we truly do not need physical light because we have the true light of the Lamb within. This city is in our heart where the Lamb dwells.
The heart then is a beautiful place because the Lamb is in it. The heart has been transformed because of the Lamb.
Our physical heart controls so much. It is the life force that keeps all our other parts functioning. It keeps the blood and oxygen flowing in its correct order and pumps life to the rest of the body. Christ does the same if we let him.
What is in our hearts that still needs transformed so that the full light of Christ can shine in, with, and through us so we can pump life to the rest of the body, so we can spread the good "news" of Christ?
