The Fourteenth Station:
Let us meditate on the burial of Jesus' Sacred Body.
The Lord saved the whole world through the Cross.
◘ Jesus Christ, we adore You and praise You.
Lord, Who are the Love Itself, You could have come
down from the Cross, but died on the Cross and were buried in the tomb in
order to complete everything, because there could not be resurrection
without death!
○ The Lord, Who is the beginning and the end and has
the keys to the death, hell, and Heaven, has offered up His whole Body for
our sake despite our unworthiness. How can we, sinners, measure all His
high, deep, wide, and infinite Love?
Beloved Mother, the greatest treasure in the Church
and the extremely holy Queen of the Universe! How painful those hours
were to you when you lost your Son and were left alone! Your sufferings
began at the moment of conceiving your Son, but you expressed human
sorrows for the first time and prayed all night for the conversion of
sinners, even being unaware of the passage of time.
We are unworthy and so sinful, but guide us so that
we may always remember the Mother's extreme pains, turn every moment of
our lives into a prayer, carry well the large and small crosses, and live
a completely consecrated life. (Meditate for a while.)
○ "I suffered all kinds of pains, was nailed to
the Cross and died on it. My dying on the Cross was not the end. Even at
this moment, I come to you shedding Blood in order to be with you, hoping
that all — even those who crucified Me and even the most wicked sinners as
well as the innocent ones — will repent, be saved and become one in the
Holy Trinity. . . I wish that you realize My having offered everything
together with My Mother for your sake and that all of you repent"
(July 1, 1996).
◘ Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary,
and Glory be.
◘ Mother, we ask you to engrave the Lord's Wounds
deeply into our hearts.
