T. 26. I. 6 – 8. Jesus: “You can lose sight of oneness, but you cannot make a sacrifice of its reality. Nor can you lose what you would try to sacrifice, nor keep the Holy Spirit from His task of showing you that it has not been lost!
Hear, then, the song your brother sings to you, and let the world recede from you. Take the rest his witness offers on behalf of peace, and judge him not. For if you do, you will hear no song of liberation for yourself, nor see what it is given him to witness to that you may see it, and rejoice with him.
Make no sacrifice of your brother’s holiness to your belief in sin! For if you do, you but sacrifice your innocence along with his, and die each time you see in him a sin deserving death. Yet in every instant can you be reborn, and given life again.
To see your brother’s holiness gives life back to you. You cannot die, because your brother’s sinlessness and yours is known to God; and can no more be sacrificed by you than can the light in you be blotted out because your brother sees it not.
You, one who would make a sacrifice of what life truly is, making your eyes and ears bear witness to the death of God and of His holy Son, think not you have power to make of Them what God did not will They be. In Heaven, God’s Son is not imprisoned in a body, nor is he sacrificed in solitude to sin. And as he is in Heaven, so must he be eternally and everywhere!
The Son is the same forever. Born again each instant and untouched by time, he is far beyond the reach of any sacrifice of life or death. For neither did he make, and only one was given him, given by One Who knows His gifts can never suffer sacrifice nor loss.
God’s Justice rests in gentleness upon His Son, and keeps him safe from all injustice the world would lay upon him. Could it be that you could make his sins reality, and sacrifice what is his Father’s Will for him?
Condemn your brother not by seeing him within the rotting prison where he sees himself! It is your special function to ensure the door be opened that he may come forth to shine on you, and give you back the gift of freedom by receiving it of you.
What is the Holy Spirit’s special function but to release the holy Son of God from the imprisonment he made to keep himself from justice? Could your function be a task apart and separate from His Own?”
