The Burial of Jesus

The Sorrows of Mary: The Burial of Jesus

Excerpts from the Divine Will writings of Luisa Piccarreta

I love and praise You, O Sorrowful Mother, in drawing strength to leave Jesus in the tomb by             leaving your whole being buried in Him and taking for Yourself His Life, His pains.

I love and thank You for kissing his Sacred Head and taking for Yourself his thorns, his afflicted and offended thoughts.

I love and thank You for kissing his extinguished eyes and taking for Yourself his tears and the bitterness of his gaze seeing the offenses of creatures.

I love and thank You for kissing his most Holy Face and taking for Yourself the blows, the spittle, the scorn and all He suffered in his Holy Countenance.

I love and thank You for kissing his embittered mouth and taking for Yourself the bitterness of the gall, his burning thirst, his reparations and prayers.

I love and thank You for kissing the wounds of his hands and feet and taking for Yourself all He suffered in them for evil works and for those who foolishly walk the way to perdition.

I love and thank You for kissing his pierced Heart and taking for Yourself his rejected love, his unrealized desires and all the transfixions and sorrows of that most Sacred Heart.

John 19: 38-42

38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[a] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

Message from Our Blessed Mother of Medjugorje

(Medjugorje – May 2, 2015)

Dear children,

open your hearts

and try to feel how much I love you

and how much I desire for you to love my Son.

I desire for you to come to know Him all the better,

because it is impossible to know Him and not to love Him-

because He is love.

I , my children, know you.

I know your pain and suffering because I lived through them.

I laugh with you in your joy

and I cry with you in your pain.

I will never leave you.

I will always speak to you with motherly tenderness.

And I, as a mother, need your open hearts

to spread the love of my Son

with wisdom and simplicity.

I need you to be united with my Son,

because I desire for you to be happy

and to help me to bring happiness to all of my children.

My apostles,

I need you to show everyone the truth of God,

so that my heart, which suffered and today suffers so much

pain, can win in love.

Pray for the holiness of your shepherds,

so that in the name of my Son they can work miracles,

because holiness works miracles.

Our Blessed Mother, The Lady of Medjugorje
