Is God a Real King? If so, in which sense? II

Today's Psalm says: “The LORD is King; let the earth rejoice” (Ps 97,1).

How can the Lord be King on earth? We already addressed that topic few days ago (1st of June 2012. See here). Here it comes again. Let us explore it more.

Last Sunday we had this Parable: Jesus Said "To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? 
It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. 
But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade." (Mc 4:26-34)

I have a suggestion: the “birds” can be understood as the “angels”. I see it this way: “the birds of the sky” are the Guardian Angels of our brothers who are in need, the ones that God wants us to help. We do not go to heaven alone. God increases His Love in us, and therefore He enables us to carry our brothers and sisters, so we can pray for them, guide them, lead them to heaven. We access them, and help them through their Guardian Angels, that dwell in the shade of the Charity of God in us.

Our growth is symbolised this way: we start by being as small as a "mustard seed". But the 'new being' in us becomes 'the largest of plants and puts forth large branches'. This is the sign of the growth of love in us, the capacity to receive (spiritual hospitality) in our heart our brothers and sister that God entrust us.

This means, that when we reach a certain growth (the union with Jesus), we kind of have a direct contact (through their angels) with other persons, and all what we do has a direct impact on them, and when we pray, it is with them that we go to God. This is how saint Thérèse puts it:

“the Holy Spirit, before Jesus' birth, dictated this prophetic prayer: Draw one, we shall run [Canticle 1.3]. What is it then to ask to be ''Drawn" if not to be united in an intimate way to the object which captivates our heart? If fire and iron had the use of reason, and if the latter said to the other: "Draw me. would it not prove that it desires to he identified with the fire in such a way that the fire penetrate and drink it up with its burning substance and seem to become one with it'? Dear Mother, this is my prayer: I ask Jesus to draw me into the flames of His love, to unite me so closely to Him that He live and act in me [Ga 2.20]. I feel that the more the fire of love bums within my heart, the more I shall say: Draw me, the more also the souls who will approach me (poor little piece of iron useless if l withdraw from the divine furnace), the more these souls: will run swiftly in the odour of the ointments [Sg 1.3] of their Beloved, for a soul that is burning with love cannot remain inactive.” (Manuscript C, toward the end)

So again: God can reign through us. When the Tree of Jesus is huge in us, we can “carry” our brothers and sisters (in fact God united them to us), and God communicates to them through us His Graces. Of course He can do it all by Himself, but this is not His choice. He wants us to participate to the new life of our brothers, to their “salvation” as we say, he wants us to reach that maturity that would allow us to really help them.

He doesn't want to have only saved virgins (the virginity of the new Faith) he wants his virgins to be mothers, in Him and through Him, of new brothers and sisters. This is the will of God and this is His plan for us. The dignity of 'just a saved person' is already very high (a Son or a Daughter of God), but the real total dignity that Jesus-God wants for us is 'to participate to the salvation of our brothers and sisters', 'to take part of the Work of Salvation'. Remember saint Paul who says (see Col 1:24): "I complete in my flesh what is lacking to the Passion of Christ [not that anything lacks to it] for his Body, the Church [which means: taking part into the work of applying the Salvation already obtained by Jesus on the Cross to the world]".

When you see the big Tree in one of us, yes you can and have to say: “The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice” (Ps 97,1)

This is the Real victory and Reign of God on Earth. This is how He becomes King on earth: Through you. This is His will.

"Thy Kingdom Come...", make me, o Lord, a Big tree, with large branches, fill me with your Charity, make me the House of thousands and millions that are seeking a house. Spiritual hospitality.
