Mary’s Deepest Sorrow

Mary

The gospel accounts of Jesus’ passion and death reveal his greatest sorrow. He could not hold back the words, “One of your will betray me. Better if that man had never been born”. Today, I reveal my deepest sorrow. As you enter into the recesses of my heart, you will see empty places. Yes, at the very center of my being, an emptiness exists.

Throughout human history, I have chosen some to enter my heart’s center. These were my chosen ones, my very elect. I gave them my choicest graces, surrounded them with every blessing. How I looked forward to receiving their love and blessing them forever.

But they walked away and rejected my gift. They rejected my stirrings and abandoned my call. They are my deepest sorrow.

O reader, I have revealed my heart to you. I have many gifts to distribute. They were meant for others, but they did not want them. They are yours if but ask.

Comment: Mary speaks of a great mystery. God’s graces, rejected by some, are offered to others.
