Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Today is Friday and with the Church I am mindful of the Passion of Christ and Reparation to His Sacred Heart. This morning, I remembered something Pope Benedict had written concerning the prophecy of Simeon in Luke's Gospel:
Quote:
...The contradiction against the Son is also directed against the mother and it cuts her to the heart...From Mary we can learn what true com-passion is: Quite unsentimentally assuming the sufferings of others as one's own...(p.62 in the Nook version of Vol. 3, Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives)
