Lent,
a time of sharing with the Son of God
(Draft: Automatic Translation)
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Lent is a time when children share intensely with the Son of God (John 14,1), He who made faith in the Father His all (Mark 11,22; John 4,34).
This is the purity of true faith that, cleansed and purified of all that is worldly and sinful, becomes once again the centre of the journey of every child, in this time of grace that leads children to unite themselves to the saving Sacrifice of the Cross of the Son of God (Mt 10,38; Eph 5,2).
The Cross is the heart of the Christian mystery (1Pt 2,24). The Cross: not a sign of the defeat of the Son of God but an Instrument of Salvation and Redemption (1Cor 1,18); not a sign of destruction but a Sign and Symbol of Construction (Gal 6,14), so that each child can build the true temple in his own heart, where the spirit dwells.
Only by lovingly embracing the Mystery of the Cross will Christians be united with the Mystery of the Redemption of Christ and Mary, the Universal Co-redemptrix (Pontifical Decree, ‘ In Mary, with Mary and for Mary’, 22/12/2019), to be co-redeemers with the Son of God, to overcome every trial and every ravine; and thus pass from the drift of a world and a house in ruins to land on the only Shore of Love, on the White Island where the purity of faith in the Only Begotten Lord will be preserved.
The Cross of Light that illuminates the world (The New Jerusalem, Land of Love, ‘Prayer to the Most Holy Cross’, 08/04/1990) will be the Sign come down from Heaven for many who grope in the dark. Purified and restored by the water that flows from the Heart of He who is Life (John 7,38), many creatures will become ‘sons’ (John 1,12) and many sons will be able to rebuild their own temple (1Cor 6,19), where the Son of God, who is Spirit and is Holy, can dwell and rest.
Leave behind what is old and putrid. Come out of the house that is falling into ruin (Rev 18:4), so as not to be overwhelmed by columns destined to collapse, because they are no longer able to bear the weight of sin and scandal, of iniquity and apostasy (2 Thess 2:3).
In this time of grace, purify your body and mind, to live in living communion of heart, soul and spirit with the Son of God. Create a desert and silence around you to be led by the Spirit to the Place where God came down from Heaven (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, ‘The Return of Jesus’, 30/10/1994) to dwell with His children and impress His Law of Love in their hearts (Jer 31,33).
Following the example of Mary, the Maiden of God, every heart that entrusts itself to her now and in the future will become a ‘living cradle’ to welcome and shelter the Son of God (Luke 1,35a), and be nourished by His Love that is Person (John 1,14).
Grafted and consecrated to Mary, the Lord will make His children strong and holy, in heart and will, in body and spirit, to overcome every temptation, fighting the good fight of faith every day (1 Tim 6:12), fasting from all that is sin.
Here is this Holy Mountain (Jn 4,21), where God welcomes His children, to embrace and purify them (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, ‘The Holy Spirit’, 13/09/1984), to lead them and be perfect (Mt 5,48), as perfect as our Father who is in Heaven, who in the New Jerusalem has given us His Kingdom (Mt 6,10), in the metaphysical union of Heaven and Earth (Ap 21,2), where the militant Church, united with the triumphant Church (Act of Magisterium, ‘One is the Message, One is the Mandate, One is the Mission on Which the militant and triumphant Church of Christ rests’, 27/02/2025), will manifest the eternal victory of the children of God, in Christ and in Mary (Revelation of God the Almighty Father to Maria G. Norcia, “The Immaculate One lives in Us”, 28/06/1983). In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
