My dearest Mother, as you gazed intently at your Son, you heard Him announce that He had accomplished His mission. It was finished. He was faithful to the end. And though your heart was filled with sorrow as He died before your eyes, your spirit once again rejoiced as you witnessed the gift of salvation being accomplished for all humanity.
My loving Mother, pray for me that I may listen attentively to your Son as He speaks these sacred words. May I hear Him say to me, βIt is finished! I have destroyed the effect of your sin. Death is no more.β
My saving Lord, from the Cross You announced the fulfillment of Your divine mission. You proclaimed that You had destroyed death itself by the free offering of Your life. Help me to listen to You speak these words to my heart and to be open to the unfathomable gift of new life accomplished by Your willing Sacrifice.
Mother Mary, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
