Please read the following.  It is a message that was given to Fr. Gobbi, founder of the Marian Movement of Priests via the Virgin Mary:

“Today, beloved, I am bringing you with me to Calvary; with me beneath the Cross of my Son, where I became your Mother.

Here I want to teach you to love.

There is no greater love than to give one’s life for those whom one loves.  Look at my Son Jesus who is dying on the Cross for you.  He is dying because He is giving His life.  He is giving His life out of love.

My mother’s heart feels Him dying and it is pierced by all His horrible agony.  My mother’s love unites with His in loving you.

My Son Jesus has become nothing other than the Man of Sorrows.  He no longer bears resemblance to a man; He is crushed under the weight of suffering, cruelly beaten, outraged, humiliated.  He suffers without complaint; as gentle as a little lamb, He is nailed to the Cross.

Behold the path along which I am calling you today:  that of Calvary which you must tread with docility and meekness.  Do not seek to escape this trial; do not beg for human consolation. You will always find the heart of your Mother who will help you to say ‘yes’ to the will of the Father.

Here I want to teach you to be silent.

The word of my Son is silent in these final moments.  Now He speaks with His life.  This is the supreme witness to the will of God.  Thus the last word of His life comes forth:  a word of pardon for all and of complete abandonment to the Father.

Learn today especially to be silent.  Create a silence within yourself in order to hear only His divine word.  Create silence about yourself.  Do not reply to the criticisms and the calumnies of him who does not accept you.  Give no answer to the sneers and the offenses of him who persecutes you.  Judge no one.  In the moments that await you, you will be called upon more and more to keep silent.  You will speak by your life…”  From the book To the Priests Our Lady’s beloved Sons

I have been meditating on the Passion of Christ daily for many years now.  These times I have shared with Jesus contemplating His Passion have been the most tender and moving moments of my life.  It is in these times that I discovered the meaning of my life.  In deep silence I walk to Calvary where Our Holy Lord is crucified.  I do this everyday at 3pm the time Jesus died for our salvation.  By entering into His pain I discovered not only how great is God’s love for us but also how deeply I love my Holy Lord Jesus.  The intimacy that grew out of my daily intimate encounters with my crucified Lord changed my life.

You know the old saying “you can bring a man to water, but you cannot force him to drink.” I can urge you to meditate on the Passion of Our Lord Jesus, but I cannot force you to do this.  But I predict that if you ask for God’s grace to help you to do this, He will give it to you and your daily meditation on the Passion of Christ will change your life.

Jesus said to St. Faustina, “I desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate on My Passion.” (Words of Jesus, Diary of St. Faustina 186)

Holy Lord, please help us to keep Your Passion ever before our eyes so that we will never fall into temptation and can live for one purpose only, to give You glory.  I love You Jesus!
