Living Monstrance

My mother has a giant Divine Mercy image in her room right now.  She is so happy that it’s there, and since it first arrived, she has been very excited about it.

On one of the first days that it was there, she said to me, “You know, that picture is life-size.  If you walk up really close, you can actually see all the hairs on Him.”

How do you count hairs on a person’s head?  How do you even see the individual hairs on a person’s head?

You have to be very, very close to that person to do it.

When Jesus sent out His disciples on a mission, He said, “Fear no one.” (Mt 10:26)  He said, “Even all the hairs of your head are counted.” (Mt 10:30)  What was He telling them?  That God was very, very close to them.

Never be afraid of anyone who opposes your life mission with God.  Remember, your Father has your hairs counted.  He is very, very close to you.
