6. The world tells us that we should look <strong>for</strong> pleasure. They tell us to<br />
put down our crosses. The world says we should not suffer, that we<br />
should get rid <strong>of</strong> our suffering. Jesus came <strong>and</strong> He walked the walk<br />
on the way to Calvary. It is in the sufferings that we receive greater<br />
life in Him.<br />
7. Let us carry the crosses that we are given this day <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong>fer them up to<br />
the Father. Many souls will be lost <strong>and</strong> condemned <strong>for</strong>ever to hell. Jesus<br />
<strong>and</strong> Mary want us to pray very hard <strong>for</strong> all <strong>of</strong> our brothers that are suffering<br />
<strong>and</strong> in sin.<br />
8. Jesus walked the way to Calvary. The women wept over Him. He said<br />
to them, “…Daughters <strong>of</strong> Jerusalem, do not weep <strong>for</strong> me; weep rather <strong>for</strong> yourselves<br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> your children.” (Lk. 23:28) Today we should weep <strong>for</strong> the children<br />
<strong>of</strong> this world, <strong>for</strong> they are suffering so much. They are not being<br />
told about how much God really loves them.<br />
9. Our prayers as youth are so powerful. Our prayers in this movement<br />
are so powerful. Jesus will give us graces when we pray. Jesus loves the<br />
children. Jesus <strong>and</strong> Mary want children to pray. Mary told us at Fatima<br />
we must pray the rosary.<br />
10. Let us thank Jesus <strong>for</strong> the great gift that He gives to us. He has given us a<br />
sharing in His life. He gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist. We must<br />
treasure each moment that we spend with Him after Communion at<br />
Mass.<br />
Jesus Is Crucified <strong>and</strong> Dies on the Cross<br />
1. The Hearts <strong>of</strong> Jesus <strong>and</strong> Mary are the Two Hearts <strong>of</strong> greatest love.<br />
Mary’s heart was invisibly pierced with a sword as she watched them<br />
nail her Son’s h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> feet to the cross.<br />
2. Think <strong>of</strong> how it would be to have your whole body covered with<br />
wounds, <strong>and</strong> your head crowned with thorns, <strong>and</strong> then to have nails<br />
pounded all the way through your h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> your feet.<br />
3. Jesus held nothing back. He spread His arms. He gave His all that we<br />
would know how much He loves us.<br />
4. As He gave Himself on the cross, He gave His all. He gives Himself to us<br />
this day in the Eucharist. The Son <strong>of</strong> God comes to us <strong>and</strong> enters our<br />
bodies. He is as present as He was the day Mary carried Him in her<br />
womb.<br />
5. Do we realize how much God loves us, that He gives Himself to us in<br />
the Holy Eucharist?
