The Passion of Christ is the greatest and most stupendous work of Divine Love. The greatest and most overwhelming work of God's love. The passion of Jesus is a sea of sorrows, but it is also an ocean of love. Ask the Lord to teach you to fish in this ocean. Dive into its depths. No matter how deep you go, you will never reach the bottom - St. Paul of the Cross
My brothers and sisters, let us always participate prayerfully and actively in the celebration of the Eucharist because true and authentic participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, identifies us with Jesus’s Heart, sustains our strength along the pilgrimage of this life, makes us long for eternal life, and unites us even now to the Church in heaven, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints.
So my dear friends in Christ, let us resolve today to be good samaritans to our brothers and sisters who are down and experiencing difficult situations in life by truly living out the corporal works of mercy and the spiritual works of mercy, because what you did to your neighbor or one of God’s little ones, you did to God and He will not forget it when your hour of judgment comes.
My dear brothers and sisters, today’s Solemnity is a wake up call for us to acknowledge the kingship of Christ, show our loyalty to Him, establish His kingdom in our world, actively participate in it, proclaim it, promote it and expand it through our lives and our apostolate. So let us renew our relationship with Him by loving Him, the King of Kings, through our love for our neighbors in our practice of the corporal works of mercy.
