Continual Union with Jesus, Continual Union with Neighbours

Van with his little sister and spiritual director

I say to myself: “For souls that love Jesus and that are intimately united in him, it is not necessary to make an effort at all moments to remember one another. It is enough to pray one for another by thought.” That’s to say: If we are brought together in friendship in Jesus, even our littlest actions offered to Jesus, are considered as so many prayers that Jesus will communicate to the one we love, in such a way that, even if we do not have that conscious intention, it is still the manner in which Jesus practises this exchange in his love, because it is because of his love that we are united in friendship.
