THE APOGEE OF THE CHARITY

And Jesus said: '' Father, forgive to them, because they don't know what they make. '' St Luc XXIII,34

1st

Speech THE APOGEE OF THE CHARITY

During the interview that preceded the Last Supper, Jesus told his apostles: '' You call Me Mr. and Lord, and you say hoe, I am it actually (1) is not this while hearing It to pray for his/her/its enemies, that to the example of the Apostles, we felt carried to greet It as our Mr. and our Lord!

Yes, Jesus, in this circumstance, appears our indeed Mr.. Like yourselves enemies, make the good to those that you haïssent,(2) had he/it says. And, joining the teaching of the example to the one of the speech. He/it had tried to defend the authority of the pharisiens that was angry at his/her/its life. He/it had multiplied, to illuminate them, the proofs of his/her/its mission and his/her/its charity had inspired him to resort to the most energetic means: reprimands, anathemas, to pull them to their blindness.
But, as their hate grew, Jesus' charity was revealed of as much more merciful, and, when they had appeased against rages them to Him and their cruelty while nailing It to the cross, to this moment, Jesus who dreaded for them the vengeance of the Sky, let fall of his/her/its lips die this sublime prayer: ' Father, forgive to them, because they don't know what they make. '' - OH my Jesus, that You deserve your title well of Mr.; You have the right to tell us: listen to me by what You can say: imitate me.

Jesus in this circumstance appears our Lord as indeed. While the other men, and especially the holiest, approaching the death tremble to the memory of their mistakes, and that they don't stop purifying itself/themselves by acts to repent to get ready to appear before the God's court three times saint, Jesus, at this supreme hour, didn't let appear the least rear thought that he/it needed forgiveness for Himself. He/it implores the forgiveness of the other, but He/it doesn't express the lightest regret of no of his/her/its thoughts, of no of his/her/its actions. And however, if he/it had really had need of it, he/it would have unsuccessful to make it, Him that had always shown the quickest horror of the sin, that had spent his/her/its life preaching the penitence! He/it would have refused to humiliate itself/themselves at the moment decisive The one that proclaimed itself soft and humble of heart! No: but Jesus, until in the excess of his/her/its lowerings and in the anguish of his/her/its tortures, was fully conscious of his/her/its dignity, He/it had your conviction of the purity to perfect his/her/its soul, and it is for it that, even to the approaches of the death, He/it enjoyed a serenity internally that no remorse, that no crying didn't come to alter.

Oh Jesus, my Lord,; I adore You; You are God's true Son that no one could ever convince sin. With the feelings of the deepest faith, I retell to your praise these words of the Co Church: You Sanctus solus, you Dominus solus, you Altissimus solus. (3) you are the only Saint, the only Lord, the only one Very High.

The precept that, by his/her/its elevation and his/her/its extent, distinguish the Christian law and the Jewish law, the one that, for this reason, Christ calls his clean precept, it is the one to like our neighbor as ourselves. However the most heroic act of this divine law is definitely the love of the enemies. Is not yet this each day that we have the opportunity to exercise it! The men are made thus that we rarely spend one day without we have to endure a few mean words or a few bad process; at least our touchiness or our imagination believes it to find some reasons to crumple us and to feel the resentment, our Lord knew it well. As he/it doesn't only have wanted that his/her/its first speech of crucified was an expression of forgiveness. He/it always put under our eyes the example present of his/her/its charity in the Sacraments of Penitence and Eucharist. Without it we would not have failed to look for the apologies to avoid a duty so repugnant in the nature. Just or sinners we could have said: '' Lord, it is so far your Passion: we would like to see You practicing the charity towards the enemies ''. But now we are not a right more to pity us; our vœux is filled, there is only to admire and to thank.

'' Why remained Notre-Seigneur him day and night on so many altars or no one comes to take the graces that he/it offers to full hands! He/it likes, he/it hopes, He/it waits! If he/it didn't come on our altars that to some days, he/it would fear that a sinner, propelled back by a good desire and the looking for, not finding it and waited: he/it likes to wait better for Himself the sinner during years, that to make wait for it one instant, what would discourage it maybe when he/it would like to come out of the slavery of the sin. '' And, when touched by this patience and this understanding welcome, when, already purified maybe by an act of perfect contrition that this goodness will have provoked, the sinner comes to solicit the official forgiveness of his/her/its mistakes in the Sacrament of Penitence, that she is delicate and considerate Jesus' goodness! He/it gave order to his/her/its ministers to absolve without delay all those that show their sins with a true repentance, and the priest, without committing himself a mistake dawdles, could not frustrate them of the kindness of the absolution.

But if Notre-Seigneur waits thus for the sinners, it is e park that it knows that they will come: He/it deserved them Himself the grace of the repentance! To Every instant of the day and the night, He/it sacrifices for them, in some place of the globe, but the Saint Sacrifice, retelling to God the supplication of Mount Calvary then,: Father, forgive to them, he/it doesn't know what they make. Finally to punish an indubitable manner the reconciliation, Jesus invites the sinners to the kiss of the Communion. Without it a lot of converts would fall in the sadness, because more their return to God is sincere and more they are pained of Him to have offended so much. At the time of the Communion Jesus dissipates all these laborious memories, He/it spills joy and the peace in their soul, and not seeing anymore whereas the infinite, sentient mercy so to speak that they are forgiven, the sinners exclaim delight; '' Yes, I am Jesus' friend, since he/it gave himself/itself all to me ''


Oh Jesus, thank you for the examples so touching of charity and mercy that You give us. To imitate them will be my action of graces for the forgiveness that so much time You granted to me.

It is the moment to ask us or we are some as for the practice of the command that Notre-Seigneur us to fact to forgive to our enemies.

III

To forgive, one says, I am impossible; the care of my honor and my dignity order me the reserve! The reserve, either; but it would not be necessary to take advantage of this word to excuse the scornful words, the haughty manners, the hurtful processes. Your dignity, your honor! Than in summers you as jealous when it is about committing the sin that damages your soul while delivering it more or less completely to the demon! And, precisely because you is sinner, didn't you deserve all contempts?

With two ounces of Christian sense, you would judge your offenses, even more free, are only the just punishment of those than you did yourselves inflict unjustly to God, are you besides bigger than Jesus - Christ? And Him, didn't he/it forget his/her/its dignity and his/her/its rights to go to the front of his/her/its enemies while offering them the forgiveness and while asking for it for them his/her/its Father?

I forgive, one says again, but I don't forget; I forgive, but I avoid their presence; I forgive, but it is good for once. Miserable restrictions of self-esteem that don't want to renounce itself completely. Is this as well as does Christ forgive?
He/it doesn't dig in re Him and his/her/its enemies the abyss of forgets it; He/it likes them and He/it prays for them. And when we would fall again one thousand and a thousand times in the same sin, our past mistakes are forgotten, unobtrusive as if they had never been committed, Veiled our model! Let's not use cunning with the forgiveness that we grant, because God, that one doesn't deceive, will measure his/her/its mercy of on ours.

So much illusions the devout souls forge themselves in this matter! To save the appearances, they will make good face to those that have them offenses, but internally they will envy their prosperity! ; will be delighted with their failures and will savor the critiques that they will hear, as having it nested not to approve them.

Examine your conduct attentively to see if, according to the recommendation of Saint Paul, all is there in conformity with the feelings of the Christ Jésus. Repair the crime of the enemies of our religion that travesties then and ridicule this virtue so sublime of the love of the enemies; repair by acts of love the crime of those that lives in their neighbor's hate; comfort Notre-Seigneur of the humiliation that he/it receives the Christian that resist the strength of his/her/its examples, to the calls of his/her/its grace, to the action of his/her/its love Sacrament and that persist in their antipathies, in their resentments, in their spites. Recite, with a sincere desire of amendment and progress, the act of charity. It is the moment to ask us or we are some as for the practice of the command that Notre-Seigneur us to fact to forgive to our enemies.

Recite, with a sincere desire of amendment and progress, the act of charity.

Oh God, that, liking the peace and the charity, you also constitute the guard of it, give to all our enemies these grants so precious; also grant them the forgiveness of all their mistakes and by your sovereign power deliver us of the pain that they would like to make us. By Christ Notre-Seigneur (5)

IV

That she/it is beautiful and instructive this prayer of the Saint Church! To forgive doesn't mean to approve or to let make, We can and we must hate in our offenders the intentions, the intentions, the vouloirs, the perverse acts of which we are victims,; the charity doesn't defend us to think and to judge that their conduct to our consideration is miserable, nor to ask and to pursue the repair of the wrongs that they caused us. But in all it we must act without sourness, without desire of vengeance, by pure love of the Justice, by horror of the scandal, while saving, as much as he is possible, the person of the guilty parties. It is for this reason that the church, when she/it teaches us to pray for our enemies, at the same time as she/it makes us ask God to deliver us of the pain, that they want to make us, also invite us to get them the grace of the peace in this world and in the other, while asking God to grant them the mind of charity and the remission of their sins.

Enter in these arrangements of the Church, your mother. Ask God that your charity takes the measurements of the one of Jesus; it is necessary so that you are a very commensurate member of his/her/its mystical body. Ask for this grace, by the intercession of Marie and saints that is signalled themselves in particular in the practice of this virtue St. Étienne, the first of the Martyrs.

2nd Speech: The royal answer

The other thief told Jesus: '' Lord, remember me when you will have arrived in your kingdom. '' And Jesus tells to him: '' In truth, I assure it to you, you will be today with me in the paradise. '' St Luc XIII,42-43The other thief told Jesus: '' Lord, remember me when you will have arrived in your kingdom. '' And Jesus tells to him: '' In truth, I assure it to you, you will be today with me in the paradise. '' St Luc XIII,42-43

2ième The Royal Answer

He/it was about the sixth hour (noon) when on the summit of Mount Calvary, covered in part already by darkness, rose Jesus' voice praying for his/her/its executioners. Struck by these words as for a forehand, the in of the thieves, crucified to the Savior's sides, turns toward It, and, upset by the grace, it gets bolder to utter this prayer: '' Lord, remember me, when you will arrive in your kingdom. '' And Jesus answers, with a radiance of goodness and ineffable joy. '' Today, I assure it to you, you will be with me in paradise. '' What stage and what interview! Why is it necessary that the men, so greedy emotions, so passionate for the reading of the novels, remain so different to the big drama of Mount Calvary, all full of moving and marvelous episodes?

Today, oh Jesus, I come to study this ineffable answer that you condescended to address to the penitent thief. Give me well the necessary light for the to understand and that she/it scorches my heart of a new love for You.

Will you be today with Me in paradise, What is therefore the one that makes one so extraordinary promise? Is not this the one that said: '' do the foxes have their lairs and the birds their nests, but the man's Son doesn't have where to rest the head? '' (6) this is not the one that, few instants ago, did the Jews provoke a bantering tone: '' If you is God's Son, do come down from the cross? Yes, it is well this same Jesus: but, if he/it lived poor, it is by love for us; if he/it is reduced to the impotence, it is by what he/it wants it well. Actually, He/it is a king, rex ego sum., the King of the kings, Rex regum,; Infinitely rich, He/it carries of it Him the treasures of the Divinity; infinitely powerful, He/it would be able to, of an act of will, to annihilate his/her/its enemies. Will come one day or all his/her/its size will appear; He/it will appear then as the sovereign Mr., the Judge, supreme of the earth and heaven,; the elected will share its happiness, the damned will feel the effects of his/her/its anger eternally, But this hour didn't yet come. Jesus doesn't make less, in this circumstance, to explode his/her/its divinity in a very striking manner, of them. Would he/it be able to, if him God was not, to promise these sinners convert hardly that he immediately entered in paradise after his/her/its death? It is therefore that he/it read to the bottom of this man's conscience, that he/it judged the sincerity of his/her/its arrangements, q'IL forgave him his/her/its sins and put back the pains that were had to them. And of the prerogatives, evidently divine, Jesus attributes them in essence, adding to his/her/its words the strength of an oath,: In truth, it is I that tell it to you, today you will be with Me in paradise.

Oh Jesus, I believe firmly in your divinity, in spite of the destitution, the shame, the impotence that enveloped You on the Cross,; your speech tells to me sufficiently that You are God's true Son and I offer You my humble worships. But how much more I like recognizing You in the silence and the extinction of the host! '' On the Cross hid the Divinity only, but here even disappears the humanity; at two I believe however, and confessing their reality I renew the demand of the penitent thief. '' (7)

II

Where the sin had crammed, the grace overabounded (8) This speech by which the apostle S. Paul characterizes the Redemption, also apply to every detail of this big work; she/it is especially true of the conversion of the good thief. What prodigy indeed that this return to instantaneous and complete God! Such the flame that would scorch all to-stroke an even green wood, like the grace in the soul of this sinner again filled of the vices that one drives to the gibbet. St. Augustin, comparing one to the other the resurrection of a dead and a sinner's conversion, doesn't know where explodes the divine power more, but he doesn't hesitate anymore when he considers them to the point of mercy view; in the conversions this one triumphs and reaches his/her/its apogee. Yes, my Jesus, I rent your merciful love that made you live on the earth in a liable flesh to save the sinners. I bless You in particular to have saved the thief crucified to your sides and I unite to the transportation of recognition that sprang and will spring forever of his/her/its heart. My soul tressaille of joy also while thinking about the innumerable souls that the despair watched and that, to the evocation of the speech addressed by You to a malefactor, one felt their confidence to be born again in your forgiveness.

But it is not only the sinners' that Jesus' promise must inspire confidence. If he/it was so good and so liberal towards a villain who, until his/her/its last moments, made the pain only, that must not hope those that use all their life in the exercise of the virtues? If he/it gives his/its kingdom for so little thing to one his/her/its enemies, will he/it refuse it to his/her/its friends, to those whose constant worry is to honor it and to like it? Also the Church made us her to sing: While absolving Mayor-Madeleine, while granting the thief, You gave us, Lord, the hope of the forgiveness. (9)

This insurance, He/it will especially give it to us when we will receive it in our heart for the last time, The Communion in money is, so to speak, a recourse in grace carrying Jesus' personal signature, it is our Judge giving us, before we presented ourselves at his/her/its court, a title to his/her/its mercy, a right to the discharge, a guaranty that is merely Himself.

As waiting for us can enjoy hard the of this true paradise that is the perpetual presence of Notre-Seigneur in the Saint Eucharist. Is not - this not each morning, to our first meeting with Him, that Jesus seems to retell us,: will you be today with Me in the Sky? If we knew how to appreciate It, as we would be happy to the Saint Eucharist, as we would be greedy to contemplate It, faithful to revive in us his/her/its memory! But our attachment to the things of the earth prevents of it to us. The Saints, them, understood It, like the Bx. Father Eymard who exclaimed in a transportation of love: the Eucharist is, that want yourselves besides! Let's unite ourselves to these souls privileged in order to thank Notre-Seigneur of the marvelous efforts of his/her/its love better to make we happy on the earth and to associate us to his/her/its happiness in the eternity.

III
To the demand of the good thief: Lord, Remember me when you will arrive in your kingdom, Jesus answered: In truth, I tell it to you, today you will be with Me in paradise. So achieved itself, with a striking analogy of expression, the prediction that Notre-Seigneur had made to the Pharisees,: In truth, I tell it to you, The publicains and the women of bad life will precede you in God's kingdom (10).

The Pharisees heard Jesus' formal declarations touch his/her/its divinity, they saw his/her/its miracles: nothing has piu to illuminate them; to the foot the da Cross, they sneer. While au thief the attitude resigned of Jesus forgiving to his/her/its executioners is sufficient for in to be touched and to recognize in Him the true Messiah that the Jews blasphemed. What lesson of humility and charity the Savior gives us from then on by his/her/its answer!

Lesson of humility. Saint Paul had understood it, him that, after having favored t-square of extraordinary and elevated graces to the supreme honor of the apostolate, after having practiced the heroic virtues and acquirements of immense merits, wrote to the first supporters: .. I believe not to have anything to reproach me, but it is not a reason to presume my salute. '' (11) no, nothing guarantees against the saddest failings. Whereas poor persons sinners will convert after a mission, or even a good reading, the men whose œuvres appears laudable fell as low as one can fall, and I saw (so to speak the author of The imitation) those that ate the Bread of the Angels to make their delights of the pasture of the swines (12)

Lesson of charity. He/it often arrives that the good Christian, passing the limits of the real goodwill, don't see in the infidels or in those that lead a ribald life that of the enemies on which it is necessary to ask the Sky to throw his/her/its thunderbolt. Jesus could tell to them as to the Jacques apostles and Jean: you don't know what mind you must be enlivened; it is the mind of charity, of mercy with which He/it answered, full of readiness, to the thief's advances. Let's not forget it: so much as a soul lives in a living body, his/her/its salute, if compromised either it, is not definitely impossible. All our conduct will amount therefore to this rule; nothing to say, nothing made that one likely to move away Christ's souls all to say, all to make to bring closer Christ's souls. It won't prevent us not at all of hates the pain, to stigmatize vices, but we must already forbid ourselves all speech, all gait that could have for result to make more difficult to the souls the path, so rough by himself, of the return to God.

Let's make carry on Jesus' double lesson our soul searching. Instead of locking us in the proud attitude of the Pharisees in, so scornful for the publicains and cleared them, let's remind ourselves that all grace is God's free grant; and, well far from throwing the stone to those that live in the sin, let's have compassions of their unhappy state, let's ask for them for mercy and forgiveness.

IV

Today you will be with Me in paradise! The thief had only asked for a simple to remember, and Jesus, because he is a king, because he is God, answers with magnificence this prayer. Such is, says St. Amboise, the line of conduct that God drew himself/itself. He/it always grants more or better than one asks him. The same thought is expressed by the church in the collection of the 11st Sunday after the Pentecost: God all powerful and eternal that, by the excess of your goodness, surpass the merits and want them of those that implore You, spill on us your mercy; make us discount of that that our conscience made us fear and grant us the graces that we don't dare to wait for our prayers. Therefore, confidence!

But so that the prayer touches Jesus' Cœur, it must resembles to the one of the good thief,.. Lord, remember me '', it is a true scream of the heart, eloquent in his/her/its simplicity, complete in his/her/its briefness. To tell someone that one likes and of which one is liked: do you remember me, this is not all to ask him and all to tell to him? Let's keep ourselves well to want to go to God with this prayers logues and complicated. The love doesn't have need that of an I, Lord, remember of me! It is sufficient to all my needs. Remember my sins to erase them, of my weakness to stretch me the hand, of my sufferings to alleviate them, of my sadness to sympathize there, of my temptations to help me to defeat them.

3rd Speech: The in love donation

Having seen his/her/its mother and by her the disciple that he/it liked, Jesus tells his/her/its mother:
'' Woman, there is your son '; then he/it tells the disciple: '' has your mother. '' St. Jean, XIX, 26-27,

Frightened by the mysterious darkness that fell on the Limestone, the crowd left from it. TO this moment, Jesus calls his Mother. ‘' Woman, he/it says mildly… ' ' Marie tressaille, with Jean and the holy women she/it approaches of the Cross,… ' ' This one will be henceforth your son, ‘' and the look, Jesus designates Jean. Then, turning toward the disciple that he/it liked his/its painful eyes: ‘, there is your Mother. ' ' Fut him ever supreme disposition more touching and more important than the one contained in Jesus' words! It is first of all the expression of his/her/its love for Marie: until the tip, He/it wants to remain for her a my Son. He/it took care of his/her/its mother during his/her/its public life, and now that he/it is going to leave it, He/it doesn't want that she/it stays isolated and without support; He/it will designate him one of his/her/its friends on that she/it can count. But on whom is going to carry Jesus' choice? Ah! So Pierre was there! Marie she/it didn't come back him of right to llui, the chief of l ' Church, the Christ's priest?
Jesus yet preferred him Jean. Not only because Jean was there and to reward his/her/its fidelity, but because Jean was the virgin apostle, and, according to the thought of Jérôme saint, the virgin Christ could not confide the Queen of the virgins that to the one whose virginity had already made the privileged of sound Mr..

There is however in the Savior's speech more that a testimony of love for his/her/its Mother, more that a liberty for Jean. The Tradition is unanimous to affirm that the beloved apostle was to this moment the representative of the whole humanity to receive in our name the bequest of love that Jesus, made us. To the men that he/it had called his/her/its but, his/her/its brothers, Jesus had already given his/her/its speech, his/her/its miracles, his/her/its promises, his/her/its entire person under the sacramental species, his/her/its blood of which he would not remain soon more a drop in his/her/its exhausted flesh, in the dried veins, in his/her/its transfixed heart, He doesn't have anything anymore, more nothing that his/her/its Mother! Hey well, He/it gives It to them. ‘Woman, here is your son ‘'. It is as if he/it said: in the name of my divine authority and in the name of the love that I carry them, I want, oh Mother, that you reported on the homes the s feelings that you have for Me; ‘, I transport on them the rights that I have to your maternal love: everything that you will make for them, will be made for Me; ‘' I hand you between the hands the fruits of my Redemption, the salute of the souls, the care of my Church, the cult of my Eucharist. ' (13)

Oh Jesus, I adore your infinite power that achieves with a simplicity really divine biggest chiefs-d'œuvre. Some words were sufficient You to change the substance of bread in your Flesh sacred, and some words are sufficient You to operate in Marie's heart these marvels of grace that the role of Mother of the human kind supposed. I also bless your love that didn't fear to face the worse humiliations in order to live among us in the Eucharist, nor d ‘to impose to your Mother cruellest sufferings to spread his/her/its motherhood to all men.

II

The gospel didn't return tired answer of Marie to Jesus' will, but that could question his/her/its compliance while considering that that it made and what it continues to make every day for the least of his/her/its children! This is not to the inspiration of the a lot of Virgin Saint that the foundation of the innumerable communities is of religious and of nuns that are to the service of the needy and suffering humanity? Yes, the whole glory of the exploits accomplished by the big army of the charity comes back to Marie, because when one goes back to the origins of these religious institutions, everywhere one recovers it inspiring the founders, illuminate them, the supportive blessing their newborn œuvres, working to their development and their stability. And, non happy to send his/her/its servants and his/her/its maids thus to provide to his/her/its family's needs, that of time Marie she/it is not intervened in person to affirm by prodigies his/her/its vigilance and his/her/its maternal goodness! One saw it rocking his/her/its virginal hands of the abandoned children, giving bread to the poor, delivering the captives, healing the patients, consoling the dying persons! There are not all countries of the famous pilgrimages to attest the assiduity with which Marie is suitable to the vœux of his/her/its children?

To these generous kindness, these miraculous favors join the graces of which she/it fills each Christian in the circumstances plain of life. To just she/it gives light and strength to persevere and to progress in the virtue: she/it protects them against the ambushes of the demon and the fascinations of the world. To the sinners she/it inspires the shame of their mistakes, the need to pull itself/themselves to their unhappy state and she/it steals them to God's anger. To a special title she/it is also an incomparably good Mother for the worshippers of the Eucharist. '' Oh! n' don't doubt some, if you entered to the Coterie, if you have happiness to know, to like and to serve the Very Saint Sacrament, it is Marie's that you owe it; it is her that asked for you the celestial Father for the care of love of the God of The Eucharist; it is her that kept you pure in the middle of the world, her that drove you like by the hand to the foot of the throne eucharistique, her that will communicate you all secrets of his/her/its Son's love and will make of you a perfect copy of his/her/its virtues. '(14)

Thank Marie therefore for all graces of your life and especially for the biggest of all, the one to like and to serve the King of the kings in his/her/its Sacrament of love. Thank it with the saints and the elected that are all indebted of their happiness and their glory to him.

III
Woman, here is your son. When Marie heard Jesus' mouth this speech so consoling for us, she must have died of pain. It was therefore there his/her/its Son's last adieu! And Marie that, illuminated of in-top seized the whole range of this speech, glimpsed, in the painful contrast that those that surrounded it, contrast that those that surrounded it offered, the history of the world until the end of the times offered, d,une leaves Jean and the holy women, of the other the executioners. His/her/its heart felt pierced then in depth by the prophetic sword, but as it had seen her/its Son spreading his/her/its hands and his/her/its feet to the nails, it offered her/its heart to the immolation.

Sympathize to the immense pain that Jesus felt when, of the top of the Cross, kissing his/her/its divine look all generations, He lives a big part of the humanity to refuse to like Marie and to persist in pulling him all his/her/its titles of glory. Also offer your compassion to the a lot of Virgin Saint, and retell, with all the affection of which you are capable, this act of repair,:

Oh Immaculate Cœur of Marie, chief-d'œuvre of God, delights of the a lot of Saint Trinidad, to bless you and to glorify you should be our happiness, you liked us so much! After God, it is yours that we owe all, You gave us Jesus and ' for us, and for our salute, ' you subscribed to his/her/its immolation; you shared his/her/its sufferings; ' your pain was big as the sea! ''.

Yet, instead of liking you, alas, there are poor wretches inspired by the hell, that dares to throw against you, against your most glorious privileges, of loathsome blasphemies! And every day, by their sins, of the thousand of Christian renews the Passion of Jesus and yours!

And myself that of time, by my mistakes, I united to the executioners of Mount Calvary!

Oh Mother of mercy, Shelter of the sinners, forgiveness!

Forgiveness for me. That henceforth I am for you, as Jean saint, a son full of tenderness!.

Forgiveness for your blasphemers and for all sinners of the universe. For them, Jesus poured all his/her/its blood. For them, He/it confided you all graces, fruits of his/her/its death. Oh Mother, so powerful and so good, have mercy of your children, '' prodigal sons ''. Illuminate them, touch them, convert them, and that one day, they go to the Sky to celebrate your goodness kindergarten forever. (15)

Monstra you Matrem esse, sumat per you preces, that pro nobis natus, tulit esse tuus. Show that you are our Mother: that he/it accepts by you our prayers, The one that vowing to be born for our salute condescended to make itself/themselves your Son. This beautiful stanza of the Ave husbands stella indicates us what manner the a lot of Virgin Saint fills his/her/its Mother's role with regard to his/her/its è children it offers to God our prayers as there joining his. By his/her/its divine motherhood Marie ascertained indeed, the privilege to be the first associated of his/her/its Son in his/her/its universal meditation between the men and God, all treasures formed by the sufferings and Jesus' sacrifice are at the disposal of Mayor, because it is her that gave Him his/her/its body, instrument of the Redemption, she also has that accepted freely and prepared his/her/its immolation on the Cross. Probably she/it is only a simple creature and it is why she/it cannot have in absolute mistress the Savior's treasures; when she/it wants to draw that of which his/her/its children of the earth have need there, she/it must ask for it. But this prayer being the one of a mother his/her/its son's, Marie is certain to be granted always. Also the Catholic Tradition him to her named the omnipotence on the knees: omnipotentia supplex

Let's resort therefore to Marie with a whole confidence. Let's ask him for many; let's give him the opportunity to appear our Mother while acting to his/her/its consideration with a child's abandonment.

And so Marie prays for us, also pray for Marie, for the extension of his/her/its cult, for his/her/its glorification by the Church. For a long time he/it is question to dedicate by a definitive and obligatory sentence the Assumption of the T.S.Vierge. To the last days of 1914 several bishops, in union with the representatives of the secular and regular clergy one addressed to the Pope Benoît XV, a supplication expressing the vœux that he/it is also pleasing in the Divine Providence to make erect in Catholic dogma the traditional and general belief of the Christian people to the universal mediation of intercessions of Marie by God. He/it depends on us, for a part, to precipitate by our prayers this blessed hour that will be the pledge of a new effusion of blessings on the church.

4th Speech: The bottom of the abyss

And toward the ninth hour, Jesus shouted a strong voice: '' My God, my God,
why did you abandon me? '' St. Mathieu, XXVII,46.

Jesus is himself you after having spoken to his/her/its Mother and Jean. This silence lasts since soon three hours, when sudden a scream of anguish escapes of the chest of the divine Agonizing: My God, my God, why did you abandon Me? What means this speaks mysterious? It is certain that Christ, being the incarnate Verb, could not be abandoned by the other Person of the Saint Trinidad è his/her/its nature humane was not able non to be abandoned by the person of the Verb: the union hypostatique even asked that Christ was not only one instant in enmity with God by the absence of the grace in his/her/its soul, nor private of the beatific vision although he lived on the earth. Then how to explain the Savior's pain; pain so violent that she/it pulls Him this lament? Until this moment he/it suffered without uttering a speech, real Lamb that one drives to the death,; now not only He/it complains, but, to the testimony of St. Paul, He/it shouts in a full voice: Cum clamore valido, He/it shouts in side of abundant tears: and uttered lacrymis… (16)


Hey what, oh my divine Jesus, don't you take into consideration those that surround your Cross? What test for the faith of those that likes you, what triumph for those that condemned you like false prophet! To my asset to ask You why and how did God abandon You?

I believe to understand that this moment was the one of the terrifying deadline where God had to, in all rigor, to treat You as the chief of the sinners. And since the sinner's crime is of himself
to divert God, since the punishment deserved by this crime that is that on his/her/its Turn tour diverts itself of the sinner, it was necessary than You, oh my Jesus, whom you were made the guaranty of the sinners, You expiated this crime, that You felt this punishment, not actually, but while undergoing the awful torment that is in the sinner the consequence of his/her/its real separation of with God, Yes, it the faillait. This dangerous necessity was reason of your mysterious despair. You could have avoided it, You were free to substitute you for the guilty man, but you wanted it: impossible now to escape your Father's justice. He/it must rage and HE/IT abandons You. Accustomed to the fullness of the Divinity that lived in her, your humanity feels then as let to herself; the Divinity sustains You again, but without you Humanity feels it. This is enough so that this incomplete and momentary abandonment throws your soul in an inexpressible trouble.

Oh very soft Jesus, innocent Victim of our sins, I sympathize to your mysterious desertion, and in spite of the obvious failing by which You wanted to show it, I believe firmly in your divinity. It is precisely because You are seen abandoned of the men and felt abandoned of your Father AH! How much I am delighted with to know You henceforth safe from all suffering! I adore your holy Soul, once sorry to Mount Calvary, now enjoying an infinite happiness. My most ardent desire is to increase his/her/its joy by my worships and my love.

In itself nothing obliged Notre-Seigneur to undergo this awful desertion: the least of his/her/its actions being of an infinite value had been sufficient to purchase us. Again a stroke, to what good then this torture so disconcerting for our reason? It is, that after so many sufferings endured, he/it remains one that Jesus doesn't yet know, the most moving of all human pains, the one of the despair caused by the sadness of a complete abandonment, of it. And advanced by his/her/its love, He/it wanted in to savor the bitterness, so that as having made the experience, Him his/her/its didn't find impotent to sympathize there and our inspired full confidence, when we would go to Him to find the consolation, But there, as everywhere else, He/it didn't carry on Himself the strokes to half; He/it carried as far as possible the horror of the desertion, Ila started with throwing itself/themselves fervently in the abandonment of the creatures; the end of his/her/its life was a real disaster. He/it passed, without transition, of the triumph to the contempt with a frightening speed, forty-eight hours ago, He/it would not have appeared in the streets of Jerusalem without being cheered; today all returned against Him or oneself abandoned. To this moment, like all man that the human emergency absence reduces waters barks, Jesus raises his eyes skywards to look there for a supreme support. This support misses to Him. His of his/her/its Father that opened up again yesterday to his/her/its least desires, is closed itself mercilessly to The one that, for us, condescended to make itself/themselves '' sin '' And Jesus recognizes that God's conduct is just, It confesses that, seen the state where It cut down voluntarily, It is as unworthy to receive the divine help that it deserves to undergo all human abandonments, No, no one will never feel a desertion as painful will be in a situation as despairing! So, at the darkest hours of the life, there are always for us a light that shines the side of the Sky, if he/it is not a sinner, so criminal he is, that, crying: '' My God '', hears a see to answer to him '' my child '', if the death of the good Christian is customarily very soft, it is because You, oh Jesus, You delivered Yourselves entire to the torment of an universal abandonment.

But I can forget that this grace of an unshakable confidence in God, that who is the Eucharist transmits it to me while giving him all his/her/its strength and all his/her/its size? Is not this in front of the Eucharist that it is good to repeat this speech of the David prophet: Lord, I shouted toward you and I said: Are you all my hope? (17) who didn't make the consoling of it comforting experience is? No, the despair is not possible to that knows to understand God's grant that is the Eucharist. It is the insurance of the forgiveness of my mistakes, the source of all graces of which I have need to save me, the pledge of the eternal happiness. And I would like, in the impetus of recognition that this thought inspires to me, to provide to retell to all men,; taste how much the Lord is good; blissful the one that puts in Him his/her/its confidence (18)!

Jesus had used the language Aramaean to make hear his/her/its agonizing scream. Éli, Éli, lamâh sabacthani? The executioners, struck by the sound of these words, took the change on Jesus' thought and started sneering: ', Hold, here is that he/it calls Élie. We are going to see if the prophet will come delivers It. ''

It is the essence of the profanity to ridicule all religious feelings thus. The chief of the French Protestantism, Clavin, went farther. He/it didn't fear to affirm that Christ had died indeed in desperate one. Awful calumny, against which our faith and our love will never rise enough heart. No, Jesus didn't die in desperate one. His/her/its scream of supreme anguish is not anything less that an act of heroic love, It has there that the love that can, without offending it, to make to God of such reproaches and to risk to these sorts of adjurations. My God, why have me you abandoned, when You know that I cannot live separated of You, that your only presence is capable to comfort me; when do You have that I like You?

Jesus repaired thus by advance the crime of those that, visited by the test, turn against God and look for in the blasphemy a relief to their pain. He/it especially repaired the outrage makes to God by the sinners himself distrustful of his/her/its infinite mercy and répètant with despair Cain's speech; my crime is too big so that it I am forgiven. He/it repaired the weaknesses of the Christian souls that disgust themselves of the prayer again as soon as they don't find sensitive consolation, preferring God's grants to God Himself, there more.

Unite yourselves par excellence to the Repairer's feelings. Offer to God this scream of love resigned the divine Agonizing to oppose it to the screams of revolt that the wounded pride and the upset sensuality makes so many lips go up. Promise to Notre-Seigneur to take advantage of his/her/its example, and, walled by the grace that his/her/its ineffable desertion deserved you, to resort always to It with confidence in your interior desolations and in your sufferings. So you will answer the pressing invitation of his/her/its love; Come to Me you all that are in the pain and I will redo you. (19)

To be quit of God, it is for the biggest man of the misfortunes. As thinking at the hell us is impressed more by the torment of fire; actually, the supreme torment of the reprobate, it is the pain of the prejudice, it is God's deprivation, because they are as torn internally forever by the opposition irreducible between their nature that, of all his/her/its weight, drag them toward God and their will corrupted that repudiates It absolutely, here low God doesn't ever abandon completely the man; his/her/its grace pursues it until the last moment, but the man has the sad to be able to move away of God, to oblige God to abandon it and it for the eternity. can be preserved ourselves of such a misfortune! ' Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, while obeying the Father's will and by the coopéraiton of the Holy spirit, You gave life in the world by your death; deliver me, by the virtue of your Body and your Blood, all my mistakes and all pains,; make that I become attached inviolably to your law and don't permit that I ever part with You '' ' (20)

Also think about the multitude of unfortunate persons that, of heart gaîté, risk to undergo this terrible separation. The some, defeated by their passions that they don't have courage to tame, hope, before dying, to have the time to repent,; others, indifferent, let go the things without worrying about what can happen to them; of others finally, blinded by the hate, want to brave the justice and God's power. By the merits of the sufferings that Christ endured during his desertion on the Cross, implore the divine Mercy to have mercy of these souls '' please let touch you by this offering of the merits of your divine Son and, in your goodness, bend to your law wills even rebel… (21)
