LATE NIGHT REFLECTION
Message 96 is titled, 'Look at My Crucified Son!'
This "Holy Thursday" Message to Our Lady's priest-sons starts off with the exclamation: "Beloved sons, look at my crucified Son." In one of our Lady's apparitions a few years ago She gave a Message which ended: "Think about the Passion of Jesus!" In another apparition elsewhere Our Lady is quoted saying, "Look at the Crucifix when you pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary."
What are we looking at when we stare at the crucifix? We are reminded of Jesus' face covered with blood, His head crowned with thorns, His hands and feet pierced by huge nails, His body which has been made an open wound by the scourging, His Heart pierced by a lance! Instead of just reading about the Passion of Christ, we are experiencing it with our eyes and our hearts.
Instead of trying to understand the sacred Passion with our own intelligence causing many to fall into serious error, in interior humility and docility, we need to listen to the Magisterium of the Church which has been entrusted with its authentic interpretation. If we remain united, humble and attentive, to what the Church points out to us, we will be faithful to the Word of Jesus.
Our Lady says that error is being spread within the Church, especially by many theologians, and propagated by Her poor priest-sons. How can we be preserved from these errors? By looking at the crucified Son of God, Mary's Son, and we will remain faithful! Jesus, the God-man, was obedient unto death on the Cross! Our Lady is calling each of us to be obedient to the Church: to the Pope and to the bishops who are united with him.
But there is suffering ahead if we do. I've been there, so I know this is true. The more we witness to this complete obedience to the Church, the more we will be criticized, ridiculed, persecuted, rejected and even abandoned by those who are supposed to be our spiritual guides. But all this is necessary, says Our Lady; this painful and crucifying witness is in order to help many of Mother Mary's poor children to remain in truth and fidelity.
