Audio (MP3)March 28 – St. Pio Daily – The Measure of Christ
Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Ave Maria!– March’s Theme: Imperfections and Sins “Jesus did not measure His Blood for the salvation of man. Would He perhaps measure my sins so as to then lose me? Certainly not! He will quickly and holily avenge Himself with His holy love towards the most ungrateful of His creatures.” |
10th, 11th, and 12th Stations of the Cross: Cardinal Ratzinger’s Meditations

TENTH STATION
Jesus is stripped of his garments
V/. Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi. R/. Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum. From the Gospel according to Matthew. 27:33-36 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull), they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots; then they sat down and kept watch over him there. MEDITATION: Jesus is stripped of his garments. Clothing gives a man his social position; it gives him his place in society, it makes him someone. His public stripping means that Jesus is no longer anything at all, he is simply an outcast, despised by all alike. The moment of the stripping reminds us of the expulsion from Paradise: God’s splendor has fallen away from man, who now stands naked and exposed, unclad and ashamed. And so Jesus once more takes on the condition of fallen man. Stripped of his garments, he reminds us that we have all lost the “first garment” that is God’s splendor. (more…) |

March 26 – St. Pio Daily – A Priest’s Offenses
Thursday, March 26th, 2009
Ave Maria!– March’s Theme: Imperfections and Sins “If the offense that is given to Jesus by every faithful highly displeases Him, much more displeasing is the offense done to Him by a Priest. I tell Jesus that I do not want to commit any more sins; but if He does not sustain my weakness, on the first occasion I will show myself to be that which I have always been. I told Him that I love Him always; but […] I am always inclined towards evil.” |

Ave Maria Meditations
Answer Quickly, O Virgin!
Mary’s Consent
When Our Lady stood up, a queenly child, and uttered her fiat to the Angel of God, her words began to make Christ’s voice. Those first words of consent had already spoken Christ’s last words of consent; her “1 commit myself to you, do whatever you like with me” were already spoken by Christ in her; they were one and the same with his: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit”.
