During Holy Week we will meditations about Passion of Jesus Christ, about mysteries of our Redemption, about sorrows of Our Lady, our Co-Redemptrix.
We offer to read book “The foot of the Cross” by Fr. Frederick William Faber.
In preface the author of book, Fr. Faber wrote: “The beauty of Jesus is inexhaustible. Like the Vision of God in heaven it is ever diversified, yet always the same, always cherished as an old and familiar joy, yet ever surprising and refreshing the spirit as being, in truth, perpetually new. He is beautiful always, beautiful everywhere, in the disfigurement of the Passion as well as in the splendour of the Resurrection, amid the horrors of the Scourging as well as amid the indescribable attractions of Bethlehem. But above all things our Blessed Lord is beautiful in His Mother.
If we love Him we must love her. We must know her in order to know Him. As there is no true devotion to His Sacred Humanity, which is not mindful of His Divinity, so there is no adequate love of the Son, which disjoins Him from His Mother, and lays her aside as a mere instrument, whom God chose as He might choose an inanimate thing, without regard to its sanctity or moral fitness. Now it is our daily task to love Jesus more and more.”
