Why is it when u truly need help from people in this world no one is willing to give an inch of help?
In this state you truly reflect Christ.
When He was suffering the greatest depression, when His soul was “
sorrowful even unto death”, when He walked into the Garden at night, surrounded by darkness, knowing that He was about to enter His sorrowful Passion, and He experienced such an extreme suffering that caused the rare condition of
hematidrosis…that was the one time in which He truly needed help from people in this world…yet even His closest disciples left Him alone, having fallen asleep…
So great was His suffering that He also told the Father: “
please take this cup of suffering away from me”.
Let us then realize that if we truly love Christ, we ought to love Him even unto the Passion, even unto complete abandonment and death…and let us tell the beloved God:
not what I want, but what you want!
In the dark night, the Father was with the Son, and He sent an angel to strengthen Him…now I, a poor sinner, tell you this: the eyes of the Lord are upon you, and His angel is already by your side.
I pray that soon enough you will be ready to say: “
God alone suffices!”
