"Jesus
meets his mother"
I pleaded with My
Father and then as I looked up I saw My Mother and My heart began to
rejoice for in an instant I was reminded, through seeing My Mother, how
this suffering must be endured.
"My
mother weeps for her Son. "
My people your mother, My
mother, weeps for you too because you have rejected the will of your
Father.
My people, you have ignored your Mother. You have ignored her
Son

PASSION
OF CHRIST
Strengthen
me to accept
my
cross and carry
it
generously to the end.
"I suffered
and died on the cross
 and each time
you pick up your cross
you are
uniting yourself to Me "
"I could hear one of the soldiers summon a man from the crowd yet he
did not seek to assist Me with an open heart. He could see that I
was trembling yet because of the crowds did not want to make it known
that he assisted the Son of God."
As they went out,
they came upon a man of Cyrene, Simon by name;
this
man they compelled to carry his cross.
And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means the place of
a skull), ~ Mathew 27: 32-33 ~
My people, what have I done to you?
or in what way have I offend
you? answer me. (reproach of Good Friday)
|
|
|
"Live the
opportunity that has been given to you.
Live the mission you were sent
to do,
not the sinfulness the world wants you to,
for that is a false
mission full of false promises with eternal consequences."
What more should I have
done, and did not do?
(reproach of Good
Friday)
When did we see you a
stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
I say to
you, as long as you did it for the one of these, the least of my
brethren, you did it for me.
~ Mathew 25: 38-40 ~
The blood and sweat
began to cover My face and I could not see for My eyes began to swell
from the beatings which I endured. A woman came over to Me and
offered
to wipe My face from the blood and the sweat.
Yet what she did not know
was that her kindness brought profound consolation for it was not her
willingness to wipe My face, but her faith in knowing that My
crucifixion was her means of salvation. A simple cloth in one’s hand
became an imprint of My mercy and true presence for all of
humanity.
The cross again is unbearable for even the one who has been chosen to
assist Me grows tired and realizes that it is an unprecedented
suffering.
|
My eyes swollen yet I could see
within the chalice all the offenses that mankind would pierce Me with.
My arms were tied tightly with rope so that I did not move as the nails
were being driven through My hands and feet. I could see the
prideful
hearts of many of the soldiers. Their mission was one of
execution.
The more they executed, the greater the mission they believed they were
fulfilling for mankind. They believed they were bringing the world
justice by putting Me to death yet in turn My death was giving the
world mercy. As one soldier would come on the right side of Me,
another would come to the left side and one at My feet. They began
simultaneously to drive the nails in My hands and feet.
|
"For if they do this when the
wood is green,
what will happen when it is dry?"
~ Luke 23:31 ~
"Each time you sin is like the
nails being driven right back through Me.
A
company of evil-doers have enclosed me;
They pierced my hands and my
feet.
~ Psalm 22:16 ~
I led
you out of the land of Egypt, and you prepared a cross for me.
(reproach of Good
Friday)
they divide my garments
among them,
and for my raiment they cast lots.
~ Psalm 22:19 ~
"My love was shown to you
when they placed each nail in My hands and feet for each wound
represents the depth of mans sins."
"Each time they pounded the nails I could see the number of times the
lukewarm souls would fail to recognize My true presence in the
tabernacle. The number of times My people would fail to come to Mass,
would fail to cleanse their soul and be open to My mercy. I then
felt tremendous pain as the soldiers began to lift the cross and place
it in a hole that had been dug. "
|
|
|
My God, my God,
why have you forsaken
me?"
~ Matthew 27:46 ~
I gave you a royal scepter, and
you gave me a crown of thorns.
(reproach of Good
Friday)
"My people, it is
those of you who choose to continue to reject Me that I am warning.
It
is those of you who continually deny that My passion and death is just
a mere event in time that I am warning.
I did not come
as a figure in
history; I came as your Merciful Savior who died for your sins.
|
|
And
Jesus
said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
"As
the crowds below Me continued to shout blasphemies against Me, I spoke
to My Father and said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they
do.” And as I said these words I could see before Me the three offenses
within the chalice that would greatly pierce Me.
I could see My people venerating the cross without the presence of My
body for the cross is not the means of mercy for mankind, rather the
one who gave His life for I am Jesus. I could then see before Me
many
of My chosen sons who would fail to recognize the feast day of My
Divine Mercy and its many promises. I could see before Me My little
ones who would face their crucifixion in the womb. "
With great pow er I lifted you up,
and have hung me on a cross. (reproach of Good
Friday)
Mother, who didst stand by Him whilst
He hung upon the cross, Pray
for us.
"My
beloved children, each day of your life should reflect My Passion for
it will be in eternal life that you will be with Me your risen Savior
Jesus."

"Behold they Mother"
When Jesus saw his mother,
and the
disciple whom he  loved standing near,
he said to his mother,
"Woman, behold, your son!"
Then he said to the disciple,
"Behold, your mother!"
And from
that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
"My mother weeps for her Son.
My
people your mother,
My
mother, weeps for you too"
I looked at John and said, “My son, behold your Mother” for she was
leaving one mission and moving to another as Mother to all.
After this Jesus, knowing that all
was now finished, said
(to fulfill
the scripture),
"I thirst." ~ John 19 26-28 ~
"I
Thirst"
|
|
Darkness
was moving in as I knew that My body was about to expire. I spoke My
final words and My spirit went on to claim the lost souls who had gone
before Me.
For I had conquered sin and death and went to be with My
Father in Paradise for today Divine Mercy was given to the world. And,
My child, it will soon come to expire for I am Jesus and all will be
done according to My will.
Then
the veil of the temple
 was
torn down the middle.
Jesus
cried out in a loud voice,
"Father,
into your hands
I
commend my spirit";
and
when he had said this
he
breathed his last.
~
Luke 23:45-46 ~
I opened the Red Sea before
you,
and you opened my side with a lance.
(reproach of Good
Friday)
"I
gave up My life out of love for
you so you could one day be with Me in Paradise."
"come to know My love for you, by
meditating on My passion.
For there is no greater love
than laying down
ones life,
and it is I,
My people, who laid down My life for you. " |
|
|
Mother, who didst receive Him into
thine arm s
when He was dead, Pray for
us.
PASSION OF CHRIST
Strengthen me in moments
of suffering,
in times of loneliness,
in periods of depression.
"My people your mother, My
mother,
weeps for you too because
you have rejected the will of your
Father."
"My
people,
you have ignored your Mother.
You have ignored her
Son and now you will feel the wrath of My Father awaken this earth."
I suffered
and died on the cross
and each time you pick up your cross
you are
uniting yourself to Me.
|
|
"My people, My
beloved children, each day of your life should reflect My Passion
for
it will be in eternal life that you will be with Me your risen Savior
Jesus.
Each day you are to pick up  your cross and follow Me for there
is not one day where you do not share in some moment of My Passion."
"Do not rush your words,
rush your prayers,
for Mass is a time of meditation on My Passion,
Death
and Resurrection."
"this picture that you are seeing
that portrays the moments of my passion is another sign of the urgency
of repentance."
"Meditate on My passion,
so you are
more aware of My sacrifice for you,
so you can live the way
your
Creator intended you to."
|

"come to know My love for you, by
meditating on My passion.
For there is no greater love than laying down
ones life, and it is I,
My people, who laid down My life for you. "
"My love was shown to you when I
suffered in the garden for all the sins of the world."
My love was shown
to you when My flesh was shed at the pillar.
My love was shown to you
when they placed each nail in My hands and feet for each wound
represents the depth of mans sins."
Mother, who didst see Him buried in
the tomb, Pray for us.
"I come with words because I am the
same Merciful Savior who carried the weight of the Cross to Calvary.
I did not come as a figure in
history; I came as your Merciful Savior who died for your sins."
"You are called to
accept more suffering,
for the more you accept your sufferings
the more
you come to understand the depth of My love for you.
