I have heard some very interesting insights on uniting the sorrowful mysteries of our own lives to the sorrowful mysteries of Christ.
This morning while driving into work, I had a really eye opening moment. As I was starting the first decade of the rosary, and contemplating the agony in the garden; I guess I finally realized that Jesus opened up for us so many ways to draw near to him.
Especially how Jesus went off to pray, Father if there be any way to let this cup pass from me, but let your will not mine be done.”
We have a great opportunity to draw near, in all ways and at all times, to Our Lord Jesus Christ. Anytime we are led, or just following Christ and it is difficult or challenging, we can unite our difficulty to Christ’s.
I feel like I keep going back to this, but we get out, what we put into our relationship with God. Grace has to have a place to fill, and we should be making our containers larger (our souls). We are made for relationship with God, specifically to participate in God’s love.
Let’s pray for each other, and cry out to Christ to help us through our sorrow.
Please show grace
