The Soul Must Live Up High. One Who Lives Up High Cannot Be Harmed

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,
    they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
    they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)

Volume 6, March 4 1904

As I was very afflicted and in suffering because of the loss of my good Jesus, I saw Him for just a little, and He told me: “My daughter, your soul must try to maintain the flight of an eagle – that is, to dwell up high, above all the low things of this earth; and so high that no enemy may harm it. In fact, one who lives up high can harm the enemies, but cannot be harmed. And she must not only live up high, but must try to have purity and sharpness of eyes, similar to those of an eagle. Though living up high, through the sharpness of her sight, she penetrates the divine things – not in passing, but by chewing them to the point of making of them her favorite food, despising any other thing. And she also penetrates the necessities of her neighbor, nor is she afraid to descend into their midst and do good to them; and if needed, she lays down her life. Through the purity of her sight, the love of God and the love of neighbor, from two she makes them one, rectifying everything for God. So must the soul be if she wants to please Me.

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, we long to to live up high as You tell Luisa but so many obstacles can have us crashing to the ground! And yet You tell us to wait for You to renew our strength so that we can indeed mount up with wings like eagles! Lord, purify our sight so that we would live for love of You and love of neighbor loving them with Your Love! Let us lay down our lives and our will which is that obstacle that prevents our flight to You!
