Aura of purity

[Yehuda_Dion]

I have three aunts from my father’s side. Two of them are his biological sisters and one is his sister-in-law. The two biological sisters are both devout Protestants, while his sister-in-law is a devout Catholic (she was a member of the Legion of Mary in her youth). Whenever I’m around the two I feel joy, but this joy is mixed with awe and a certain increased love when I’m around the Catholic sister-in-law. I don’t know how to explain it, but her inner being just shines with what can be described as an “aura of purity”. I imagine that Saint John the Apostle who was famous for his purity exuded a similar aura. My question is, what makes some people have this and others do not? I personally think it’s her love for the Blessed Mother. What do you think?

What are you talking about? Love towards the Blessed Mother does increase devotion and sanctity, although it is not the cause for your spiritual awareness (aura) of other persons sanctity.

It is their personal growth in virtue and holiness which increases Sanctifying Grace and more frequent unions with God which at times are prolonged in time and duration, depending on persons detachment from venial sins and imperfections. These people also avoid proximate occasion to venial sins. This union reflects on the outside, that is the body, and we perceive a fragment of divinity on their entire person just like we see and perceive a demonic presence in those who are sinful…see my thread on Demon eyes; False Prophet; NEW World Order to see and understand what I am talking about!?

I think is because the catholic ones are in total and perfect communion with God

 

[BillyB]

It happens. It’s beautiful to behold. I try to let it inspire me to greater sanctity or at least do better in being a vessel for God’s grace, however He may want that to come across to others.
