Meditation 8: First Wednesday of Lent
Jesus's Sufferings Compared to Ours
Adoramus Te, Christe, et benedicimus Tibi - We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You!
Quia per Sanctam Crucem Tuam redemisti mundum - because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world!
Kyrie eléison - Lord have mercy!
➕➕➕Jesus Crucified appeared to Sister Magdalene Orsini, to animate her to suffer for sufferings in peace. She answered Him, “But Lord, You only hung on the Cross for 3 hours, whereas I have gone on suffering this pain for several years.” He replied, “From the first moment that I was in My Mother's womb, I suffered in my Heart all that I afterwards endured on the Cross.”
St. Bernard: “In order to redeem the slave, the Father did not spare His own Son, nor did the Son spare Himself.”
