I’m not sure if this can be done, but I am interested in sharing this.
I have always had this “devotion” if you will, of praying to Jesus in the desert, in the garden, during all of the times of His personal pain. I guess the idea is trying to reciprocate His love and care for us by showing our love to Him at these times. This may seem odd, but here is my reason for this. I love God more than anyone I have ever known. I know I mess up on a regular basis, but I still try to turn myself around and always be for Him. I don’t do this for the sake of anything I might suffer because that would be simply be justice for my sins. I don’t offer this up for anything I might gain, because that just seems too quid pro quo. I do it for the same reason I do anything for one of my friends or loved ones, out of love. Now I think the Way of the Cross is a good way to do this, and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament feels like I’m there with/for Him, but I just feel like we as His faithful could reach beyond ourselves and do something more. Maybe it is beyond our grasp. But with the Father’s help, it would be wonderful for Jesus to “feel” our prayers reaching out to Him from across time. Not only in our worse times, but when things are working out too. Just as a side note, I have often felt the desire to wish I could comfort Mary in her sorrow through the Lord’s Passion. (This is especially when I attend or pray the Way of the Cross) Let me be clear about something, I’m not trying to raise myself up with this, I;m not suggesting that God needs me in any way. On the contrary, I am trying to just be more faithful to Him in perhaps a way others may have not though of yet. Perhaps this is a crazy notion.
Anyway, any thoughts on this?
