Do not let go of her hand. Jesus gave her to us on the Cross and she is our Mother.
“John 19:25-29
New King James Version
Behold Your Mother
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.
It Is Finished
28 After this, Jesus, [a]knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.”
When I was traversing through the gauntlet of my Mother dying, all things pointed to X marks the spot and St. Monica. I flew into and through the Divine Mercy Saturdays of the Catholic Church and the one Saint that would not let go of me was St. Maria Goretti. She is quite the saint and led me through countless adventures with the Holy Spirit.
These all led to protecting humans. Every aspect. My entire life was orchestrated for this very thing.
I was led to Cincinnati, Ohio to help bring justice to rape victims and mercy to murderers. This began with Psalm 23, St. Joseph and my own family.
I followed the clues and it led me to The Miracle of the Sun, Our Lady of Fatima, the Beatles, “Here Comes the Sun”, Notre Dame, Center for Homeless of South Bend, very specific churches, a playground of tasks for Christ and a roar within me that could not be silenced.
Although everyone has tried, God within me is what remains.
Glory be to the seeking and receiving of Divine Mercy through the rosary, the eucharist, litanies and alike. I was specifically led to the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Litany of Blessed Virgin Mary, Litany of St. Joseph and the Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus.
During the Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus one name came through and sharp. Jack. This name followed me through a string of events with my paintings, music and faith. Only God knows but it is definitely full circle today.
With God within me and Heaven all around me, Light guides me and strengthens me as I finish this Quest of Life for Social Justice.
Belts were once used back in the day. Many adults can testify to this. As children this was a normal act of punishment from parents. My Grandma would make my Uncle kneel on a vent for punishment too. These are two examples of how our parents were reprimanded growing up.
How can abused parents raise wholesome children? Well, that is a fight of its own. Only by the Saving Grace and Mercy of Christ can we break the chains of hereditary abuse. Abuse was normalized back in the day. Those parents that never had the chance to heal just passed down their pain. When God says, “Not This One” that child will grow up with a Light that can not be extinguished and is given Spiritual Gifts to break the cycle.
“1 Corinthians 12:8-10 New International Version
8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b]”
For me, the gifts are many. I use them all now on a daily basis to free those that only Christ can free through faith, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
