The Passion of the Father was Experienced by Mary (II)

There was also the invisible presence of Saint Joseph, who shared everything with Mary. Mary said with Jesus, in a low voice: "I am thirsty." She was thirsty with Him, and not only that atrocious, physical thirst in his bruised body, drained of blood and burning with fever. Mary certainly tried to relieve that thirst. But how strongly she must have felt with Jesus that spiritual thirst that thirst for all of us who He wanted to save by His death. What Jesus went through, Mary went through with him. In her motherhood that knew its most intense fullness, she brought her children together in herself -- absolutely all of God's children, the children of all time from the beginning until the end of the world. No one was left out, both the good and the bad. With her beloved Jesus, she also said: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing." These words were not only for those who made Jesus suffer on Calvary. They were for the sinners of all time. With Him, her heart tirelessly said: "Father forgive, forgive Father, Father forgive!" She also presented her Son to all those who loved Him, awaited Him, all those who love Him now, we were there, present, as well as all those who will love Him until the end of time. We are all gathered in the same unity in the Virgin's heart with the Father's burning heart. Our love was the supreme comfort of Jesus as He died.
