Our Dear Mother at the Cross of Her Son
A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 19, 25 – 30:
Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.” There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.
I was at the Good Friday service at our church and a big crowd was present. It went very well with our parish priest and the choir sang well too. When they walked up the middle isle with the cross, tears started to flow from my eyes and went I went up to venerate the cross, tears flowed even more and went I came to my seat, I was still crying. Before the service at the church, I spent one hour with Jesus contemplating Him on the cross. I felt united with Him as He suffered horribly nailed to the cross. It is there on the cross that He offered His great sacrifice to atone for all our sins. I thank the Lord for taking away all my sins and the sins of all the people of the world who believe in Him.
Below you will find the message of Our Mother Mary given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“I bless you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who have great love for Jesus, My Son, and for Me. You know that I was present at the foot of My Son’s cross when He hung there and died. I suffered greatly in My heart at seeing My precious Son nailed to the cross and bleeding from His hands and feet. I united Myself to Him in this great passion for the salvation of the world. However, before He died, He addressed Me saying, “Woman, behold, your son.” He then said to John, the Apostles, “Behold, your Mother.” These words were the last that He addressed to a person before He died. I wish to tell you that John represented all of you, My sons and daughters. What He said to John, He also said it to each one of you. So, indeed, I am your Mother and you are My children. I have great love for each and everyone of you. I want you all close to My Son Jesus and close to Me. Come and take His hand and mine too. I bless you all and I am praying for each on you all the time.”
