PRAYER OF REPARATION
Dear friends of Gethsemane, the Lord will give you his Peace!
I foundan interesting story that comes from a last century mystic female, which tells that Jesus, oncerisen, brings the disciples here, where He sweated blood, and reached the point of the kiss ofbetrayal, the Lord asks Peter to kiss him! Peter, who had denied him three times, collapsed on thefloor, bursting into tears and, sobbing and afflicted, implores him not to insist. Jesus begs andaffirms: "If by a kiss full of falsehood and hatred, the Son of Man was betrayed, by a kiss full oflove and mercy it may be Beloved", that yours be the kiss that washes and erases that pain .
When I see that the Lord is not loved, that is insulted, blasphemed or not accepted, I believe that Ican repair that, in my little way, loving him, praising him, welcoming him in silence through thepeople I know or through small situations that hide his image.
So this invitation comes back to my heart: "But you, give me your heart... your kiss of love!" . We can call this a prayer of reparation.
