The pain of our blessed virgin mother

The following days me and my family witnessed to fresh blood on this statue, as it wept again and again. I reflected a lot on this phenomena, and it made me reflect on the pain of our lady and her son Jesus. Jesus being the new Adam came to restore what the old Adam [humanity] had destroyed through sin. He shed his blood, Died so that we may have life in us, and life in abundance, cf (John 10:10b) "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full."
I asked myself, are we accepting this gift of life? are we accepting Jesus and his mother in our lives. This is the pain of our lady and Jesus, that we keep on resisting and rejecting them by sinning.....so my first thought was the need of conversions in families, starting with my family first.......

To Christ Through Mary

Exactly after this intervention, I started feeling a great presence of our Lady,I was shocked and filled in great awe, Through this presence I know her son was there....I knew that from then on If I wanted to go to Christ I had to do it through our lady. I began to understand more what i've read and studied before...that when God gives you something you must give witness, you must share God's awe and wonder..

CF "My soul magnifies the Lord",...(Luke 1: 41-45).

The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes the Magnificat as"the song both of the Mother of God and of the Church" [CCC 2619],

so let us all pray this beautiful hymn every day

'Behold your mother'" (Jn 19:26-27).

One day I came to know that a woman bought a statue of our lady of Immaculate conception and after a week it wept blood.
One day this lady came to visit me and she said to me "I was told how much you've suffered and I promise you that when I recieve the statue [as it was taken to the church authorities for investigation] you'll be the first to see it.
So the day came when I was invited to go, I couldn't go up the stairs...when I finally managed to go near the statue I was moved, and I wanted to kneel down but with no success as the pain was terrible, so my friend Cathrine [the onwner of the statue] decided to put it on my knees instead[ as by this time I was sitting down] and then I said this prayer, "dear Holy Mary, you know how much I've suffered please take this pain away" And when I got up all the pain was gone, there and then.......................

"Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother." (John 19:25).

The chemotherapy has it's side effects on me, it affected my legs. I was in so much pain that I could not walk properly, in fact I had to do extra effort to walk. I could not bear my cross any longer....it is here where our blessed virgin mother intervened.........to be continued

To meet the risen Christ you have to go through his cross first

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE LOOK OF THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST THAT I SAW IN EVERY PATIENT.

CF ISAIAH 53

Going Down the hill [part two]

Every injection that I took during my treatment of chemotherapy helped me to reflect more on tha nails that went through our Lord's hands during his passion, In every fear,in every burden I meditated on the cross that Christ had carried for me, so all the suffering helped me to really meet Christ thus helped me to grow spiritually. So I've learned that when we feel that we're in the desert,naked....it is then when our master start to clothe us with the holy spirit,with his word...only in silence we are able to listen to God......cf Hosea 2:17-18.

Going Down the Hill

I was so happy on my graduation day! after three years studying so hard, finally i had accomplished what I was longing for. But just eight months after this special day I've found out that I had two tumors that where malignant! Me and my Family were shocked.....Thank God I've had them removed and the doctors said that they did not touch or spread anywhere, so they caught them at an early stage. Alas I still had to go through six months chemotherapy. Every month I had to stay for three days in hospital.

So physically i was going down the hill and therfore also my carrer. But without being aware of it, spiritually I was going up the hill............C f Psalm 12:6
