Mourning for the Lord
Redeemed by love!
Good Friday
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!
A yes that went through fear and pain of death!
A yes, after he had asked his father that this cup should pass him by!
A yes of total surrender to the Father!
A yes out of love for us humans! Read More
The devoted service of Christ!
Maundy Thursday
Preliminary remark: I created these meditations 2018, so they are repetitions. At that time the present painful situation was not yet foreseeable. That is why there are formulations which refer to the normal course of the Holy Masses. Read More
Thirty pieces of silver
Holy Wednesday
(Daily Reading: Mt 26,14-25)
The betrayal of God, at the price of unjust mammon! How often does that happen?
How often do people sell themselves for mammon, for their honor, their disorderly lust, their power…
Thirty pieces of silver they gave to Judas and knew that blood was on this money! But it was not only the blood of a man, which would be bad enough! No, it was the blood of the Son of God; that blood which saves them! It was the blood of the Lamb, which was given away for the world! They paid the traitor! Read More
One of you shall deliver me
Holy Tuesday
Jn 13,21-38
Having said this, Jesus was deeply disturbed and declared, ‘In all truth I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.’ The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he meant. Read More
The love to Jesus
Holy Monday
Jn 12,1-11
Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for him there; Martha waited on them and Lazarus was among those at table. Mary brought in a pound of very costly ointment, pure nard, and with it anointed the feet of Jesus, wiping them with her hair; the house was filled with the scent of the ointment. Read More
The day Jesus was honored
Palm Sunday
In the Holy Week we change a little the previous rhythm. Scripture interpretations will be more meditative and somewhat shorter.
“Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna on high!” (from the Gospel before the Palm Procession: Mt 21,1-11) Read More
Trust and the introduction of a feast

Today we come to the end with the father’s message of the first part of the booklet. It has accompanied us during this Lent until Palm Sunday, and also during the difficult time of crisis which humanity is now experiencing due to the pandemic, the extent of which cannot yet be estimated. Read More
The Father’s Delight and Our Paradise
The father speaks to his children, Part 20
Father’s words:
“As for the souls who live in justice and sanctifying grace, I show My happiness by living in them. I give them Myself. I transmit to them the use of My power and through My love they find a foretaste of heaven in Me, their Father and their Saviour!” Read More
Significance of the Father’s Message
The father speaks to his children, Part 19
As I had communicated yesterday, I will continue until Saturday with the meditations on the “Message of the Father”. This is divided into two parts. In the previous reflections, I had followed the order of the booklet almost completely. Read More
