"Jesus, remember me, when You come into Your Kingdom." Luke 23:42
"He was spurned and avoided by men, a man of suffering, accustomed to infirmity, One of those from whom men hide their faces, spurned, and we held him in no esteem. Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, our sufferings that he endured, While we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins, Upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed." Isaiah 53:3-5
Last Monday, the first day of Holy Week, the world watched in horror as fire engulfed the Cathedral of Notre Dame in France and the spire toppled. When the fire was extinguished, in the midst of the rubble, the image of the Cross remained above the statue of the Pieta, Our Lady holding the Body of Jesus. Jesus poured out His Love for us on the Cross. No matter when we go through in this life, Jesus and Mary are always with us. His Love endures forever.
