"By the side of the road my eyes were caught by a lonely cross ! In the darkness, silently our Lord Jesus Christ seemed incredibly lonely, at the mercy of others !! Up until now I never thought about that infinite loneliness that Christ lived through dying on the cross: Eli, Eli, lamma , sabaktani “ My God, my God why have You forsaken me ? “ Matthew 27

I was standing at the foot of the cross and I felt that  the most that I can do show my compassion!  I am there and silently, humbly I become part of that infinitely lonely moment ! I lived through with incredible intensity that loneliness, solitude in front of the naked body of the crucified Christ ! 

As I was standing under the cross and quietly I looked around , I realized that I am not the only one looking up at Christ’s cross but Mary, Saint John and the many , many Saints, Martyrs of our world’s history ..In reality all that Mary could do is that She was there, and took part in something that would have happened that would have taken part with or without them!! Mary was there and prayed and I believe that even today She stands by the lonely dying people and prays ! It was good to beseech our heavenly Mother in front of Christ’s cross trustingly to pray for the precious sick people:" Holy Mary , Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

With trust ,
