We want to be converted to The Lord.till now we we have lived "outside"; from now on we want to live like Mary, "within".
Living "within", being involved without neighbour and all kinds of activities - even out of love for God - must be replaced by a proper spiritual balance; we need to draw the soul continually down to its depths or we end up in distraction, useless chatter and casting "holy things to the dogs."
Living "within" growing in our inner lives, detached from everything, so as not to be suspended between heaven and earth but "rooted" in heaven, established in the heart of Christ, so that we travel through the heart of Mary on a trinitarian journey, a prelude of the life to come.
Living "within" means sharing with our neighbour the lifeblood from heaven that flows within us. This is a genuine service. We must not scandalise others by our lack of sanctity.
Living "within" means living like Mary, our exalted Mother, Queen and Guide, who conquers Satan by being anchored in God and not by adopting outward poses, which are as remote from her as earth is from heaven.
Living " within", raised up on the cross by our own hands, so that Christ may continue through us the work of creating unity in this world, confused in all its antics, that suffers, that hopes, that wants to forget, that fears, that gives pain to our hearts today, as the crowds did, in the past, to Jesus.
Living "within" means drawing the world , which lives only "outside" deep into the mysteries of the spirit, where we are elevated and find rest, where we are comforted and strengthened, and we find vigour again to return to the earth and continue the Christian battle til death.
