NIGHT REFLECTION
'The Way of the Cross,' is Message #71 to fr. Gobbi.
On a Good Friday, Our Lady is reminding the priests who belong to Her Marian Movement of Priests and who are consecrated to Her Immaculate Heart that She wishes to lead them along the path of the Cross. She says She wants them all on the Cross with Jesus Her Son, praying and suffering! Why? Because this is the road Our Savior took to carry out the work of redemption and salvation of mankind.
Our Lady also traveled that 'way of the Cross' along with Jesus, and so She expects Her little children to do the same. As a matter of fact, She says that it is the only way to journey; but do not fear because Our Lady will hold our hands; She will comfort and help us, She will be at our side! How else can we become similar to Jesus in all ways? Mary's duty is to form us in imitation of Our Lord!
And so we must climb Calvary too! We must call out from the garden of our hearts, united with Our Blessed Lady's Heart: "Yes, Father, Your Will be done!" (cf Matt. 26:39) Then we can glorify the Father in this hour of darkness; then we can bear witness to the merciful love of God. How? By our prayer, our sufferings, and our immolation of ourselves!
Our Lady says 'Forget every other occupation and second this plan of Her Immaculate Heart!' Each day I say this little prayer: "Eternal Father, I love You and I offer myself to You for Your greater glory and the reign of Your Kingdom on earth; the Kingdom of the Divine Will! May my will be totally annihilated, and given over to the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose will was always one with Yours! Amen."
