SPIRITUALITY: HOW TO EXPLAIN IT!
CONSECRATION TO JESUS THROUGH MARY

4. HOW TO ANSWER GOD’S CALL TO LOVE AND HOLINESS:
IMITATE JESUS - THE SUFFERING SERVANT

Despised, and the most abject of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with infirmity: and his look was as it were hidden and despised, whereupon we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows: and we have thought him as it were a leper, and as one struck by God and afflicted. But he was wounded for our iniquities, he was bruised for our sins: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his bruises we are healed. (Isaiah 53:3-5).

JESUS:  Be the Suffering Servant  like Me. Be another Christ for Me – silent under trial and tribulation as life’s events toss you about (p159HL).

JESUS:  Relive My Passion. In that way you will honour each one of My wounds. You will comfort My suffering Mother as well as Me (p159HL).

JESUS: Meditate on My sorrowful Passion. Study Me in the Bible. Find out what type of person I was, how I acted with love and authority invested in Me by My Father (cf Mt 28:18). Begin to act like Me, like you are My disciple, and I will shower you with the gifts of the Holy One, the great Spirit of Truth and Love (cf1Cor12:1-31). Be Mine and you will never regret it (p282HLAW).

JESUS: Be accepting of all life’s events, whatever they may be. Mary was true to Me. She was close to God, because she allowed Him to work through her without reservation. I love her (p159HL).

JESUS:  Attend even one Mass in honour of My sufferings and those of My Mother, because this is a token of your love, a measure of your own love for Me (p502HLAW).

JESUS: Welcome the spirit of self-immolation and self-denial within your life, because it is only then, when I see you coming to Me in serenity and love that I take you into the abode of My Sacred Heart (p504HLAW).
