Mystics

(The distinctive and intimate experience of union with Christ and the understanding of this reality, granted freely by God)

 Seraphic mysticism: a heart that loves, a heart that has inner strength and does not give up easily, a heart that is gentle, compassionate and forgiving (cf. Isa 6:2).

  1. Mystic of the Passion: a heart willing to sacrifice in order to be a true bearer of the cross for the love of the crucified Jesus so that one may receive the palm of eternal life (cf. Light into the Darkness, pp. 68-69).
  2. The Mystic of Poverty: a heart that remains firm and steadfast in Divine Providence, a heart that remains grateful and modest in spite of the need to sacrifice everything to the crucified One (Const. No. 1,9, Lk 2:35, Eph 6:10-20).
