Palm Sunday in the Lord's Passion: Jesus meets the women and the Blessed Mother


«And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself.» Next to the cross were your Mother, Mary Magdalene and the other disciples. They were standing because love bears all things, sustains all things and preserves all things. Love is like the tall, slender grass born in the heat of the earth. The rain comes, the most atrocious wind blows and it falls over in pain. However, the root remains attached to its origin and from the origin it receives the strength to remain, even though the body cannot rise. Then the sun comes and dries the earth, and it rises, strong and beautiful, to continue its mission. Yes, love sustains and endures everything, whether it passes through the absence of light or dwells in the harshest contradiction of the cross.

The Blessed Mother was standing, clinging to the source. Her heart was united with yours in a single desire: for everything to be consummated, for the fire to be lit in our hearts and never stop burning. You looked at her and at me. Here is your son. Behold your Mother. There was also Magdalene, standing there, overcome with sadness. The labor pains were beginning. You looked at her as if to remember: I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will be able to take away your joy. al he was son and brother.

Everything comes to an end, but love will never pass away. Happy are those invited to life to the full, behold the Paschal Lamb who ardently desired to eat this Passover with us.
