The Passion + JMJA!

Imagine our Saviour's sufferings, His Agony, His Scourging, the Coronation with THORNS, the carrying of His Cross (loaded with our sins, our iniquities) and his ultimate crucifixion, His PASSION. Contemplate His love, His infinite love, His infinite majesty, His infinite Divinity.

Contemplate the moment in time, after the Kiss of Judas, when He said,

EGO SUM

(It is I)

and exactly at that moment, everyone fell down onto the ground.

Look at this detail.

(you can watch the excellent movie, the Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson)

Why did everyone fall down?

Jesus was trying to say, Listen! Listen! it's because I want to accept it that's why you fall!

Jesus could have said I don't want to do it. But He didn't!

He wanted to do it.

Now, notice this point, from the Most Holy Mass.

Now is the hour of darkness!

This IS THE MASS.

The priest (and only the priest) consecrates and raises the host.

Father, take these people to heaven, I will take the punishment.

HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEAM.

Immediately, the host becomes the MOST HOLY BODY OF CHRIST.

IT really IS HIM, His SOUL, His DIVINITY.

Then, immediately, after the 1st consecration, comes the 2nd consecration of Blood.

There's blood after the acceptance.

-->Peter then cuts the ear of Malchus, the Chief Priest's servant. etc. etc.
