Everyone came running towards them in great excitement, to the Portico of Solomon, as it is called, where the man was still clinging to Peter and John.

Today is the seventh day of the month and I would like to keep my promise to dedicate the seventh day of each month in a special way to our Heavenly Father’s message to Madre Eugenia Ravasio[i]. Why?

Suffering and death of our Lord
Judas has completed his betrayal and Jesus is taken captive. This happens after the Lord in Gethsemane has received the suffering from the Father’s hand and has said His yes to all that now lay before Him.
