Devotion to Mary: the comforting hour to the desolate

Da Paolo Tessione - February 14, 2020

Devotion to the desolate mother
DEVOTION TO THE DESULATED MOTHER The most serious and least considered pain of Mary is perhaps the one she felt at separating from the Son's tomb and in the time when she was without him. During the Passion she certainly suffered atrociously, but at least she had the consolation of suffering with Jesus. Her sight increased her pain, but it was also of some relief. But when Calvary descended without his Jesus, how lonely she must have felt, how empty her house must have seemed to her! Let us console this sorrow so forgotten by Mary, keeping her company in her solitude, sharing her pains and reminding her of the next Resurrection that will repay her for all her troubles! Holy Hour with the Desolate - Plan to spend all the time in which Jesus remained in the sepulcher in a holy sadness, consecrating as much as you can to keep company with the Desolate. Find at least an hour to consecrate totally to console the one who is called the Desolate par excellence and who deserves your mourning more than any other. Better if the time is made in common, or if a shift can be established between various people. Think of being close to Mary, of reading in her Heart and hearing her complaints. Consider and console the pain you felt: 1) When you saw the Tomb close. 1) When it had to be torn almost by force. 1) When returning he passed near Calvary where the cross still stood. 2) When he went back to the Via del Calvario looked perhaps with contempt by the people as the mother of the condemned. 3) When he returned to the empty house and falling into the arms of St. John, I felt the loss more. 4) During the long hours spent from Friday evening to Sunday with always in front of her eyes the horrible scenes of which she had been a spectator. 5) Finally, Mary's sorrow consoled in thinking that so many of her pains and of her divine Son would have been useless for so many millions not only of pagans, but of Christians. FIRST HOUR COMFORT TO THE DESOLATA
Introduction To facilitate a more active participation in the COMFORTING HOUR, it was decided to assign the various parts to five Readers. This especially meets the interest of the children who are the most sensitive to the pain of the Madonna: not for nothing did she turn to Fatima for them. Whoever directs the Hour can increase its number in the recitation of the individual Mysteries of the Rosary and Chaplets.

1. He directs the Ora, intones the songs and makes the readings; 2. The Heart of Mary; 3. The soul; 4. Recite the Rosary; 5. Recite the Chaplets INVITATION TO LOVE THE PAINFUL MOTHER Jesus wants it: «The Heart of my Mother has the right to the title of Sorrowful and I want it placed before that of the Immaculate, because the first bought it herself. The Church has recognized in my Mother what I have worked on her: her Immaculate Conception. it is time, now, and I want it, that my Mother's right to a title of justice is understood and recognized, a title she deserved with her identification with all my pains, with her sufferings, her sacrifices and with his immolation on Calvary, accepted with full correspondence to my Grace, and endured for the salvation of humanity. it is in this co-redemption that my Mother was above all great; and this is why I ask that the ejaculatory, as I have dictated it, be approved and propagated throughout the Church, in the same way as that of my Heart, and that it be recited by all my priests after the sacrifice of the Mass. It has already obtained many graces; and he will obtain even more, waiting for the Church to be lifted up and the world renewed with the Consecration to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of my Mother. This devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary will revive faith and trust in broken hearts and destroyed families; it will help repair the ruins and ease many pains. It will be a new source of strength for my Church, bringing souls, not only to trust in my Heart, but also to abandonment in my Mother's Sorrowful heart ».

Hello, O Queen… Standing SEQUENCE We recite alternating choirs divided into two groups of Sorrows, in tears the Mother stands at the Cross from which the Son hangs. Immersed in mortal anguish, she moans in the depths of her heart pierced by a sword. How great is the pain of the blessed among women, Mother of the Only Begotten! The pitiful Mother weeps contemplating the wounds of her divine Son. Who can refrain from crying before the Mother of Christ in so much torment? Who can not feel pain before the Mother who brings the death of the Son? For the sins of her people she sees Jesus in the torments of hard torture. For us she sees her sweet Son die alone in the last hour. O Mother, source of love, make me live your martyrdom, make me cry your tears. Make my heart burn in loving Christ, to be pleasing to him. Please, Holy Mother: may the wounds of your Son be engraved in my heart. Join me in your pain for your divine Son who wanted to suffer for me. With you let me cry the crucified Christ until I have life. Always stay close to you crying under the cross: this is what I want. O holy Virgin among the virgins, do not reject my prayer, and welcome my child's cry. Let me bring the death of Christ, participate in his sufferings, adore his holy wounds. Wound my heart with his wounds, hold me close to his cross, inebriate me with his blood. In his glorious return, O Mother, stay by my side, save me from eternal abandonment. O Christ, in the hour of my passage let me, by the hand of your Mother, reach the glorious goal. When death dissolves my body open me, Lord, the gates of heaven, welcome me into your kingdom of glory. Amen. Seated REFLECTION THIS IS YOUR MOTHER! 1. Before dying on the cross, Jesus wanted to make us his last, great gift: he gave us his Mother! The Evangelist St. John, the beloved apostle of Jesus, present on Calvary, described this moving scene to us: «They were at the cross of Jesus his Mother, his Mother's sister, Mary of Cleopa and Mary of Magdala. Then Jesus, seeing the Mother and the disciple whom he loved next to her, said to the Mother: «Woman, here is your son!». Then he said to the disciple, "Here is your Mother!" And from that moment the disciple took her into his home "(Jn 19, 2527). Mary is our divine Mother, because she generates us children of God and her children by making Jesus live in us: she gave birth to us in our souls at Baptism and is present in us to protect him, nourish him, make him grow to perfection. After the death of Jesus, the apostle John, the first child of his Maternity of Grace, took Mary with him into his home, and loved her as a mother, with all his most tender and great love. Let us imitate him. The Mother of Jesus is always with us! Day and night: it never leaves us alone. His presence must be a constant reason for joy, gratitude and trust. We never do anything that displeases her. Let us invoke her with faith, imitate her with love, let us advise and guide her, offer her life generously. In this way she will be able to happily carry out her maternal work in us and make us live Jesus.We will thus be able to say of ourselves what St. Paul said of himself: "It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me" (Ga 2:20). The more we become like Jesus, the more Mary will make us feel her love as a Mother. Brief prayer in silence Standing FINAL SONG "Immaculate Virgin Mary" mourning, O good Mother, we want to weave filial crown of beautiful roses to your love, remove the thorns from your Heart. Sorrowful, we are your children, let us love you as you wish. On your beautiful face weep the tears and on the earth the song resounds: with you the Lord we magnify and always in God we exult with you. Sorrowful, we are your children, let us love you as you wish. MAGNIFICAT Lk. 1, 4G 55 My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God, my savior, because he looked at the humility of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed. The Almighty has done great things for me and Holy is his name: from generation to generation his mercy extends to those who fear him. He explained the power of his arm, scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts, overthrew the powerful from the thrones, raised the humble; he has filled the hungry with good things, has sent the rich away empty-handed. He rescued his servant Israel, remembering his mercy, as he had promised our fathers, Abraham and his descendants forever. Glory to the Father. As it was in the beginning. Kneeling 2. The Heart of Mary: Dear soul, with so much filial piety you have been close to me in my pain; and I will be close to you in your pains. I have suffered so much in my life ... Your compassion is of real comfort to me. So call me, in the hour of bitterness! You will feel how much your Mother's Heart loves you! Don't be discouraged, if I don't always free you from your pains. I will give you the grace to suffer well. Pain is a great treasure: Heaven deserves. Oh, how much you will bless your sufferings! If I could go back to earth, I would still come to suffer: nothing is richer in love than pain accepted well. I shared all his pains with Jesus and I maternally share all yours. Take heart!
3. The soul: My Sorrowful Mother, my NOW is over. I go, but I don't leave you alone on Calvary: my heart remains close to you. Thank you for calling me to keep you company. I promise you that I will return faithfully to this meeting with your Heart, suffering for my love; I also promise you that I will bring your other children to you, so that everyone will understand how much you loved us and how much you want our company.

Mamma mia, bless me: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. SECOND COMFORT HOUR AT THE DESOLATA Foreword To facilitate a more active participation in the COMFORT HOUR, it was decided to assign the various parts to five Readers.

DEAR REPAIRING CHILDREN We must seriously convince ourselves of this fundamental Christian truth: it is not possible to resemble Jesus Christ if we do not participate with the Sorrowful Mother in the sufferings of his Passion. This is why Our Lady wishes to feel us close to her on Calvary. We are faithful to the encounter with the suffering Mother. We will better understand her Maternity of Grace; we will be dearer to you and we will experience in our pains the powerful help of fraternal prayer. it is so comfortable to think: at the moment, there are many who love me and pray with me and for me! We live our faith in charity and help each other in a Christian way to enhance our suffering. COMFORT THE MOTHER IN HER PAIN Kneeling INTRODUCTION THE PLANT OF THE PAINED 1. Let's stop to contemplate Mary's Sorrows, to thank her for what she has done for us her children and ask her the grace to be us too, like her, generous with the Lord, ready to collaborate with him for the salvation of the world, offering us as bearers of Croce, rest assured that his load is light and his yoke is gentle. With us there is Maria to instill hope and strength to win even in the biggest tests. So it was with Jesus, so it was with Mary, so with all the saints: it will also be so for us because "for the love of God, pain is never the last thing" (MB). Then comes joy, resurrection, endless life. With this certainty we retrace the most painful stages experienced by our Mother, so that she may feel close to us, can find comfort from our love and can make abundant fruits of grace and good growth in our hearts.
2. The soul: Mother grieved, dead Jesus has been removed from your arms for burial. The great stone has closed its Sepulcher ... The last sword has also been planted in your maternal Heart. And you are left alone with your desolation.

Oh, how much to suffer! One by one, the SEVEN SWORDS sank into your Heart, always patient ... What a painful deck! I want, o Mama, to extract them all to give you relief. Let me do this filial piety duty! Seated 2. First pain Mary together with Joseph presents Jesus in the temple. Simeon announces that Jesus will have to suffer greatly for our sins and that even a sword will pierce her soul (cf. Lk 2, 3435). 3. Reflection We thank you, O Mary, our Mother, because you let this sword pierce your soul. Obtain the grace of the Lord to be generous like you, to know how to say Yes even when we cannot understand his plans in our life. Teach us not to ask too many questions, but to always trust him. You stay close to us and God the Father who loves us will not give us any weight that we cannot carry and that will not turn into good for us and for everyone. You hold us by the hand and teach us to trust God and believe in the treasure of graces that He hides inside every cross received with love. Make us humble, Mary, because it is only humility that opens our hearts to God's plans and makes us love his way of realizing them. Thanks again for your example of docility and serenity in the test. You too have been troubled, you too have trembled, but for a short time ... Then you looked up, you smiled and you started again confidently to walk with your God. Make you look like you, Maria! We ask you for all the graces with which the Lord has filled you and for all the love you want, you who are true Mother for each of us.

Reflection Mary, sweetest Mother, who you knew how to believe in the voice of angels and meekly set out on your journey trusting God in everything; make us become like you, ready to always believe that the Will of God is only a source of grace and salvation for us. Make us docile, like you, to the Word of God and ready to follow it with confidence. You who have felt in the heart the pain of being a guest in a nontuo country, which perhaps welcomed you, but made you weigh your poverty and your diversity, make us sensitive to the pain of so many exiles from their homeland, poor, among us , in need of help. Let us feel your pain because we can console you by alleviating that of those around us. But above all, let us never forget how much it cost you to be a Mother.

Reflection We thank you, Mary, because in your whole life you have not shied away from pain, but you have accepted it also to teach us how to overcome it. You suffered the greatest pains and for three days you felt the anguish of having lost Jesus, as if God had prepared you ever since for a much greater separation. Have you experienced the pain of losing it in advance! But you ran to the Temple, you found your comfort in God. And Jesus is back with you. Thank you for agreeing not to immediately understand his words, for hearing the detachment, for offering again to God that Son who was also yours, without fully understanding that mystery that surrounded you. We ask you to teach us to meditate in the heart, with docility and love, all that the Lord offers us to live, even when we cannot understand and anguish wants to overwhelm us. Give us the grace to be near you so that you can communicate your strength and your faith. Short prayer in silence. On your knees. From pungent sword pierced in the heart, love pours on our souls.

But your courage does not fail because you want to continue following Jesus, to share everything with him ... We ask you to teach us the courage to suffer, to say yes to pain, when this becomes part of our life and God he sends it as a means of salvation and purification. Let us be generous and docile, capable of looking Jesus in the eyes and finding in this gaze the strength to continue living for him, for his plan of love in the world, even if this should cost us, as it cost you.

How can we console your tormented heart and fill the void created by this cruel death? Please, take us as we are, cold, sometimes insensitive and used to looking at Jesus on the cross; take us because we are now your children too. Do not leave us in moments of pain, when everything seems to fade and faith seems to die out: then remind us how we stand at the foot of the cross and support our fragile hearts.

Let us not abandon him in the moment of trial, when God appears to us far away and seems not to respond to our cry for help. Make us strong in the faith that knows how to wait for the hour of God and does not allow itself to be overcome by suffering. We, like your children, want to look like you who have always believed without getting tired and you have been able to accept the pain also believing in the eternal joy that would follow it. Never leave us, our Mother, and in the journey of life, despite a thousand trials, remind us that love triumphs over all pain and that even death will be defeated by the Life that will never end.

Seated 2. FINAL PRAYER We thank you, Lord, for giving us your Mother as a true Mother who takes care of us in everything, because we can reflect your image in a world that risks forgetting you. The so much pain that she suffered together with you is for us a source of strength and a pledge of protection. Thank you, Lord, for this time that you have given us to live meditating on Mary's pains. We often forget them, we are used to these salvation events which, although they come back to our mind, do not deeply move our heart. We recognize that we are too busy with our things, capable of crying only over our suffering. And we don't accept it often; in a thousand ways we try to overcome it by counting on the various aids, but without immediately asking for yours, without believing that only you have the real solution to all our problems and only you can joyfully change our pain. Forgive us, Lord and give us a new heart. We entrust ourselves to Mary who knows how to transform us into something you like and give you glory. We want to be united with her to follow you more closely and in her we want to love you, adore you, offer you our reparation, because even our life speaks of Resurrection and the world finds you, discovering in you the only source of Life.

MAGNIFICAT Lc. 1, 46 55 My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God, my savior, because he looked at the humility of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed. The Almighty has done great things for me and Holy is his name: from generation to generation his mercy extends to those who fear him. He explained the power of his arm, he dispersed the proud in the thoughts of their heart; he overthrew the mighty from the thrones, he raised the humble; he has filled the hungry with good things, has sent the rich away empty-handed.

Don't be discouraged, if I don't always free you from your pains. I will give you the grace to suffer well. Pain is a great treasure: Heaven deserves. Oh, how much you will bless your sufferings! If I could go back to earth, I would still come to suffer: nothing is richer in love than pain accepted well. I shared all his pains with Jesus and I maternally share all yours. Take heart!

Glory to the Father and the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, and now and always over the centuries. Amen. Heart of Jesus that you burn with love for your divine Mother. Inflame our heart with your love. Let us pray to our Lord, Jesus Christ, that with ineffable love you left us your divine Mother from the Cross: grant us, we beg you, to piously receive your gift and to live as true children and apostles. Amen. Jesus and Mary bless us. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Maternal crying «O all of you who pass by on the way, stop and see if there is pain similar to mine! She weeps bitterly ... Her tears run down her cheeks and nobody gives her comfort ... "(Lam 1, 12.2.).
