    CALLED TO REMAIN BESIDE THE LORD

    Normally when here in Gethsemane I am in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament I focus my attention on the invitation that Jesus makes to his disciples... to his way of praying and acting, gentle and insistent in the struggle. I feel amazed and excited… This month I would like to share with you an invitation that I perceive as a gift that requires a “step” on our part, of our will: let's not leave the Lord alone in Gethsemane… let us remain with Him, as we are and as we can, stay close to the Lord in that place that we perceive as "Gethsemane".
    How many Gethsemane there are in the world! This is the call He makes to each one of us!
    To a mystic of the twentieth century the Lord says: “The Sacrament condenses Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of your Jesus. Therefore, when praying with a spirit of reparation to My Eucharist, you pray not only to my Body but also to my Blood as well as to my Soul and Divinity (…). I ask that my Blood be used for the infinite needs of souls. Do not let this ocean of power be fruitless”.

    Hora Sancta

    We are the sons of St. Francis, and we are THE custodians, according to the will of God, of one of the places that Jesus loved the most: the garden called GETHSEMANE. This is a unique place in the world. It is the place where the Lord manifested his Yes forever by being ready to enter where nobody else had ever entered, where he plunged into darkness, in the final battle against death, in which humanity has always ended up being a loser.
