Reflection on Sacred Wounds: Chest

Image
Source: St. John Gospel "32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced." Jesus Christ died on the cross, Tremors spread over earth, Tremors crossed over the hills, The sky stunned gloomy, The wind howled in despair, The clouds darkened in mourning, The creation stood still, In seeing savior dead, The veil in tabernacle, The veil between God and man tore, They pierced his side, There gushed forth out ...

Reflection on Sacred wounds of Jesus : Face & Shoulder

Sacred wounds of Face &; Knees They turned the cross To secure the nails, Savior body slide between the earth and heavy cross, Excruciating pain infliction Crucifixion on its utmost torturous When the heavy cross pressed the head and face to the ground, Stroke of hammer jolted the head against the ground, Inflict head arteries to break lose, Exasperation revealed in solders acts Ex-sanguinations began under the cross, Dis-figuration of sacred face ensue, They hammered the crucifix arms, They hammered the crucifix behind the feet, The repeated hammer banked the knees pressing against the earth, The dried bleeding of Knee wounds from falling unstrapped, Inflicted the extension of injury to the knee wounds, The arteries broke lose around the knees, Extensive pains engulfed, As the heavy cross pressed savior body against, Uneven land, Exasperation revealed in solders acts Exsanguinations continued under the cross, Arteries of head broke in infliction of thor...

Father, Father, My father, In to thy hands, in to thy hands, I command, I command, My Spirit! Thirteenth station

Father, Father, My father, In to thy hands, in to thy hands, I command, I command, My Spirit! Source: St. John Gospel 1 On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; 2 Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. 3 When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." 4 And Jesus said to her, "O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come."5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." The mother of God, Holding savior body tight to her chest, Cried aloud in weeping tears, Pondering and wondering on cannon wedding feast, Approaching Son, Saying they have no wine, knowing the time has come, Knowing the saving grace of Son, Knowing the atonement of Son, knowing the son as Son of God, who kept all the things in her heart, saying Son they have no wine, Then she hear him saying, My hour has not yet come, The mother of God...

When Jesus had received the wine, he said, "It is finished";

When Jesus had received the wine, he said, "It is finished"; and he bowed his head and handed over the spirit. Gospel of John 19:30 Crucifixion of Jesus I hear Jesus cry My God, My God, why have you forsaken me. They pushed him, They tossed him, They rolled him in mud, They dragged him to the cross, The skin gave it’s way, The muscles torn away, The nerves twitched on intolerable pains, The blood gushed all over, The thorny crown crushing in head, Rushing blood bleed the beard, Gushing tears mingled blood, Diminish vision even more, Ex cruciate pains take over, Thrashing violent actions, Dashing head against the cross, Rushing new blood in every move, Pain, Pain, Pain, Oh! Sacred pain, Did you see my Lord shiver in thy hands? Did you see him cry in your demands? Did you see him victim of thy clutches? Did you see his limbs fell feeble in thy hands? Blood, blood, blood, Oh! sacred blood, That gushed out to save the world, Wound, wound, wound Oh!...

Jesus words on the Cross: "I thirst" Gospel of John 19:28

"I thirst" Gospel of John 19:28 Scotching sun above the cross Bulging blood out of the body Progressing shocking pains Suffering of tortuous wounds Human body seen it's limits Dried skin, drained blood, Dried tongue, dried lips, Jesus panted for breath sighing I am Thirsty In that moment In that thirsty moment In that human moment Jesus speaks to the human souls - saying I am thirsty Where are you my souls? I am Thirsty for you As I am waiting for your love I am Thirsty Oceans of mercy flow under the cross, Oceans of grace flow under the cross, Oceans of salvation flow under the cross, Bestowed on humanity, Through the holy cross, while await to avail, till the end of the world, Still,much souls fall of the glory, much souls fall of the glory, Ignoring such love of salvation, Rejecting saviors' mercy and grace, Through the willful sins, reach hell even today, Have mercy on us lord! Souls perish without claiming the free flowing g...

Jesus words on the Cross:"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34

"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 The above verse came from Jesus in the midst of suffering as a cry to the Heavenly Father, who is Fully human and fully God in nature, the Son of God and Son of man, the new creation and the creator at the same time, cries to the Father saying,"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This verse reveals the human side of the suffering and the prayer for assistance of divine intervention during suffering. Many people argue, why Father abandoned Jesus at the cross? St. John the Apostle wrote in his Gospel about the extend of God's love for humanity was demonstrated in rejection of His own begotten Son at the Cross. I believe, at the cross, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit all three in union were involved in new creation of salvation. Holy Trinity participated in Crucifixion as one person with Jesus Christ. " Who am I Lord? To be loved to this extreme? The c...

Jesus words on the Cross: Father forgive them.......

In fallen nature of human, forgiveness is beyond the limits of human love. Forgiveness requires divine strength and guidance. Forgiveness is a process which begins with the knowledge the knowledge of God. During turmoils, during sufferings, during confusions, it is easy and human nature to be focused on the situation and become the repetitive victim to the problem. It is easy to set the eyes on the problem than focusing on god during trials. It is human nature to try to solve the problems in human will and ways. In this process, human soul vanishes all the juice remain with human will and remain empty and clueless in the absence of God's strength. So knowledge of God in the midst of problems begins the healing process. However, crucial the problem demands solution, how ever the nature of urgency of the demand, however crucial it may appear, however gruesome it may inflict, the solution with out God's presence will lead to the betrayal of God and the willful abandonment of God...

There is no magic fix for the hurts that demand forgiveness and the sufferings which come from it not instantly  removable, sometimes it linger like a chronic disease. Hurts and sufferings may present themselves in many ways, many shapes, many dimensions, and multifaceted. Some of the hurts and sufferings in this life are invited and inflicted upon oneself by one's own decisions and actions and some are uninvited which come from the environment of one's life, others may come from spiritual warfare, and others may come from divine plan as well. Some are internal and some are external. Some are forgettable with no effort and some are not. Most of the times it involves the human relationships and majority of the times the hurts which affect us the most are afflicted by those who we love and care, which require greater forgiveness in day today basis. Where there is love there is hurt. For some reason love and hurt are inseparable  The more the love the g...
