Passiontide is upon us and and we enter the two holiest weeks of the year. At this time, Christ calls His Church, each and every member, to be focussed on His Passion. His Passion is the font of all grace and mercy, of all life and salvation; the means whereby He conquered death and opened the gates of Heaven. The statues are now veiled, calling us to mourn and meditate constantly on His Passion. The saints teach there is no exercise more profitable for the salvation of the soul and to advance in virtue and grace. We have many ways by which to meditate upon the Passion, yet the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the most perfect place and means. It bears the greatest fruit, for there His Passion and Death are actually made present. To really participate at the Mass means to believe what is truly taking place and then uniting oneself to that. This takes great faith, effort, silence and contemplation - to move beyond the visible to the great invisible mysteries that God makes present. This Mystery is inexhaustible, for the Passion of Christ is the greatest work of God's love.
