Watch and Pray…that you may not enter into temptation…
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009Ave Maria Meditations
Could you not watch one hour with Me? (Mt. 14:34) The need for prayer in order to follow the Lord closely: Jesus looks at us with a gaze of expressive simplicity on that night. He looks into souls and hearts in the revealing light of Divine Wisdom. The spectacle of all men’s sins, of the sins of his brothers, files past before his eyes.

He feels great loneliness and moral pain because of this defiance and lack of response to such an outpouring of Divine love. Three times he looks for those three disciples of his to accompany him in prayer: “Watch with me, be at my side, do not leave me alone”, he has asked them.

This is My Beloved Son
Saturday, January 10th, 2009Ave Maria Meditations
And behold a voice from heaven saying: This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Mt.3:17)
The prophecies of the Old Testament are fulfilled in the New Testament: (Is.42:1) Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delights. God the Father: (Mt. 17:5) from the cloud there came a voice which said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.” The Mother of Jesus: (Jn.2:5) His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you’. |
