Mary is a wonder of the power of God. The Virgin is intrinsically “Our Lady of the Incarnation,” because God created Her for the Incarnation, making Her a prodigy of the grace in radiant manifestation of the Omnipotent.
There is no fear that the Church make a mistake! God speaks through Her… There is no fear that the Church sink! God sustains Her over the waters of the universal deluge… There is no fear, because God is the strength and the stronghold where She rests…!
What a Saturday of such glorious triumph! in which the soul of God’s Only Begotten Son, who at the same time is the Son of Man, opens by the fruit of His Redemption the sumptuous Gates of Eternity, closed since the earthly Paradise by the sin in rebellion of our First Parents; and the old floodgates are raised before the impetuous passing of irresistible power of the soul of God’s immolated Only Begotten Son, in triumph of glory.
The Alone... A loneliness that we will never be able to penetrate in Your infinite-like capacity.... O, Jesus! The reflection of this terrible loneliness were the bleeding moments of Your sorrowful passion, in which Your whole humanity expressed how forsaken was Your soul, not only in Your sorrowful inner tragedy, but also in Your solitary Via Crucis of human abandonment.
What a struggle –without struggle–, that which took place between the offended Holiness of the Father, who could not accept sin, and the same Holiness that, in His Only Begotten Son, turned towards the Father, implored His, in a supreme agony of infinite and bloody immolation: “Embrace Me with all of mankind, or reject Me with all of it.”
On the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the Pontifical Approval of The Work of the Church, the Apostolic Penitentiary has granted the gift of PLENARY INDULGENCE to all the faithful who, in a true spirit of penance and moved by charity, may visit in a form of Pilgrimage any sacred place entrusted to The Work of the Church, and there may devoutly participate in the Jubilee rites, or may remain there for a significant period of time in pious prayer.
The soul that is not understood cannot be consoled. Your soul, O my Christ, a mystery and a wonder of divine love, because it is the soul of the Word, has an incomprehensible capacity for us as regards love and pain, which on earth has never been embraced nor will it ever be. And since the soul is consoled insofar as it is understood, that part of the soul of Christ that remains not understood receives no comfort either; and, since His capacity exceeds almost infinitely ours, that mysterious, profound and transcendent part, to which we will never be able to reach out, remains comfortless, and that is why: “I looked for comforters, but I found none.”
Such was the excellence of God, so immense the greatness of His infinite Being in the plenitude of His strength, so infinitely different and distant from all that He was not, that everything that He was not, before my spiritual gaze, practically became non-being… There was nothing but God! because God was Himself all that was in the excellent plenitude of the might, of His infinite consubstantial and coeternal divine Being.
Mystery of Christmas…! Secret of infinite tenderness…!: In the silence of night and of incomprehension, under the vibrant notes of the Holy Spirit, and in the tearing of the motherhood of Mary, in a manger the Love was revealed to us…!! Silence, dear soul…! Respect and veneration! Adore…! With the Angels of God, respond with love…! Because God, become Child, any minute now is going to burst into tears for the first time on earth torn apart by solitude and incomprehension…
Oh human nature of Jesus...! The Word of Life has been so intimately and closely united to you, and you to Him, in an adaptation as though infinite, that his most imperceptible vibrations reverberate in you; as it is your life and not being able to be other than that of the very most high God himself, since you have united yourself hypostatically with God in the Person of the Word.
