Reflection
Mother Mary, John and Mary Magdalene are going to the place where Jesus’ body had been laid. In the tomb of Joseph’s garden which had been newly excavated, had been lately cleaned by the servants of Nicodemus, so that the interior was neat and pleasing to the eye. Joseph shows tenderness by preparing Jesus’ body with aloe, myrrh, and linens and he shows respect in laying Jesus to rest quickly, as was the Jewish custom. After respectfully placing the body in the tomb, Mother Mary gave expression of her love again to the son and left the tomb.
Dear Mother Mary, what was going in your mind? How can you step out from this garden? How can you celebrate the festival? What are you going to do?
Mother Mary Speaks
My Son / My Daughter, Remember I walked with him closely. I really experienced the changes of the people. They didn’t show it, but I saw that in their faces. Many doubts have been cleared. Remember at the very last moment one thief accepted my son. I was delighted.
Most of all he has entrusted one duty to me. Remember he said “Mother Behold Your Son”, “Son Behold Your Mother”. When I embraced John I embraced humanity. I understood that labour pains have again arrived and this time it will be much greater, because he needs souls. Jesus was thirsty for souls, for all the souls for whom He was pouring His Blood to the last drop. From high on the Cross, He saw your sins and He cried out to humanity and said "I THIRST". Now I have a responsibility for all humanity for my son.
Remember what he told you at the 12th station
I know what is in your heart – I know your loneliness in all your hurts – the rejections, the judgments, the humiliations, I carried it all before you.
Yes my son carried all your situations to the cross and nailed them. Whatever situation you are in right now he had it before you. All I request from you is not to be in this situation and think about it. Offer it to my son. He will handle it for you. Then you have a space for his love. When I was troubled that is what I did.
By mediating these stations you have a better understanding where you are now.
Now you know where you want to be, with my son, experiencing his love.
Take step by step unloading your excess baggage. Then my son will fill his love. I will help you. When you feel his love for you, others will come to know. Let them know the secret.
Quench the Thirst of my Son.
