FIND REFUGE IN JESUS’ MOST LOVING HEART…
From noon onward, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Mt 27:45-46
“There is a false asceticism which presents the Lord on the Cross as furious and rebellious. A contorted body apparently threatening mankind: ‘You have broken me, but I will hurl down on you my nails, my cross and my thorns. ‘
Such people do not know the spirit of Christ. He suffered all that he could -and, being God, how much he could suffer! But he was loving even more than he was suffering… And, after dying, he consented to let the lance open another wound, so that you and I might find refuge next to his most loving Heart.”
