Incorporation Of Souls

I sat silently and with closed eyes, I imagined the Blessed Sacrament like a torch, giving light to my wandering mind. I was a bit disturbed and so I tried to settle down and reflected what my soul is going through in the past days. Suddenly, in seconds, flashed in my mind the idea of ‘incorporation of souls’, which many mystics must have experienced. I am far from being a mystic, and I am not worthy to be one. But I felt that deep inside me, I was communicating, something I don’t know, and something I could not explain. All I know is that my soul was communicating in deep silence.

I thought of it another day
And I realized that when I offer God the people I have met during the day,
When I think of them dearly
And place them into His care
That means ‘incorporation of souls.’

That when I move around the villages
Be one with the people and living in their poverty
And when I carry them all with enthusiasm and joy
That is ‘incorporation of souls.’

Incorporation means ‘merging’,
It is ‘absorption’; it is ‘integration’,
It is ‘oneness’- there is a crazy thought as ‘amalgamation’- to join up.
When I place people into the Hands of the Lord, that means I integrate my soul with them.

Above all, I understood
That when I give my own soul into His care,
My soul does not belong to me anymore, but me in Him,
Because both our souls are incorporated into one.
Therefore, I took it as my personal challenge,
That when I pray, it should make my soul free and empty,
So that we could be incorporated,
Me to be filled up by Him and Him to absorb my soul.

I looked back from a distance and I felt shame because I am far from spiritual incorporation.
My soul is too vain.
But I realized too that if Jesus allowed to be one with my soul,
Even with the stain of sinfulness,
He could still make my soul bright and polished.
