Peace to you from the garden of Gethsemane, the place loved by the Lord!
Among the many gifts that the Lord has given us in this month I have received a particular light from the Lord by giving the spiritual exercises to an Italian priest. The latter, living a particular moment of the ministry entrusted to him, made a sort of verification of his service to the Lord, and in walking in the Garden where the Lord walked he shared this thought: "Here the Lord did not 'suffer' the will of the Father, but he chose it, he made it his... The Son of Man became one with the will of the Father" (Lk 22:42). Even to me, who have lived and walked in this Garden for years, this aspect has been even deeper, because it illuminates the divine will but at the same time it is the most eloquent example for each of us in making our own the will of the Father... To love what He loves and to make of our life an occasion of love. I am sure that each of us, if he inclines the ear of the heart, Saint Francis would say, can perceive the many opportunities that the Lord gives us to be able to grow in faith in the gift of life, in the concreteness of our daily lives. We always implore, through the intercession of Mary Most Holy, mercy and Peace. Let us remain in prayer beside the Lord asking him to make us sharers in his plan of Salvation.
We point out our new site "Hora Sancta" updated, with news and the opportunity to participate in small-large prayer appointments, in communion with this holy place, which always tells the current presence of the Lord and his infinite love for us, little. For those who want you can follow us on Instagram.
Be blessed.
From Gethsemane.
