ITINERARY
OF THE PILGRIM
(SOURCE:
SHRINE OF FATIMA)
1.
Beginning
of my itinerary in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
.Amen.
“IN THE
GOSPEL , WE HEAR JESUS SAY TO HIS DISCIPLE :”HERE IS YOUR MOTHER”. WE HAVE A
MOTHER!”
Papa
Francis’s homily in Mass with canonization rite of Francisco and Jacinta Marto,
on 13th May 2017.
HIGH CROSS
In this
Shrine, the Cross is the signal that raises higher, as the mark of the
Crucified who attracts everyone to Him. From here on I am invited to look at this
place as the beloved son /daughter whom is given a Mother and a house that is
the arriving point of the weariness of the journey as well as always renewed
starting point.
As Lucia,
in the Tuy apparition in 1929, I pray before Jesus Crucified:
Most Holy
Trinity , Father, Son and Holy Spirit , I adore you profoundly.
In some
moments of silence, I gaze at the Cross of Jesus and bring my history to my
thoughts and prayer, I recall my inner wounds and willingly prepare my heart to
listen, like John:
……( I say
my name ), here is your Mother (Jo 19,27)
Jesus
entrust me to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as a haven where I find peace. While
walking to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, I walk by the image of St
John Paul II, the Pope whose motto was based on that delivery to Mary- Totus
Tuus- which encourages me to feel the same trust. Further, ahead, the piece of
the Berlin Wall reminds me that, through Mary, God bring down all walls: those
of indifference, of contention, of sin, of death, all of them can be brought
down.
