    With our minds and spirits lifted up to God, with our internal  regard upwards, in prayer, trust and humility, hope for the eternal grows. Yes, Jesus ascended up to Heaven; for as He came down  from Heaven when He was born, He returned the same way; He ascended back up to  Heaven.   His apostles were present, they saw Him ascending into Heaven and:   "they were looking intently into the sky as He was going when  suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.  “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into  the sky ..read more

The empty grave      From His Conception to His Death, Jesus caused consternation, upset, shock, admiration, amazement, love; He deeply impacted  the lives around Him. He performed many miracles, and His  speech were words of authority.   But in the end He was brought like a lamb to the slaughter,  in the utmost disgrace and humiliation, He was put to death on a cross between two criminals. He died, and He was buried in a grave.   When the women came back to the tomb, in order to anoint  His body, the heavy stone which had been put in front of the ..read more

    The public spectacle of the crucifixion; it was an event that  drew out the masses, so they could participate in the  condemnation; they joined the crowd, the mob, like people  still do today.   People are terrified of standing out from the crowd,  most people align themselves with whatever the political  correct narrative says at any given time, without reflecting,  they just take it onboard, and then afterwards they believe that  it comes from themselves, not realizing that their beliefs was  simply downloaded from outside them ..read more

        Jesus had to carry Himself the instrument upon which He was  going to be put to death.   Crucifixion was the sentence  imposed on the worst criminals; apart from the indescribable physical pain, it was also chosen  for reasons of wanting to strip the dignity of the condemned;  for the public shame and humiliation. Jesus; God Himself, was spat on, they threw stones at Him,  as He dragged the heavy cross and they laughed when they  saw how He struggled.       When He came into the world as a new born baby ther ..read more

      Before they nailed Him to the Cross, Jesus's enemies manifested their contempt by crowning Him with a crown of thorns, while mocking and  taunting Him.  Full of hate they dug it into His skull. "All kings should have a crown", they said,  "Hail, King of the Jews", they jeered.   Jesus; God Himself, took it all without saying a word.   All our different sins are obstacles to living in the presence of God,  but the sin of pride is so deeply ingrained in us, that we often do not  even recognize it as sin.  It is part of culture ..read more

  Jesus was found guilty of blasphemy by His own people and by  the authority of His own religion; the elders, the high priests and  scribes.   He had performed many miracles and raised people from the dead, during all the time that He preached to the people, the mistrust,  the suspicion and not least: the jealousy, that this aroused by those  in power, provoked them to persecute Him.  They tried many times to trap Him, but as Jesus was always aware of what was going on in other people, He escaped, until the moment already pre-determined, when He let Himse ..read more

  The Sorrowful Mysteries describes how Jesus Christ;  true God and true Man, suffered for us, for our salvation, and also He thus gave an absolute perfect example for us to follow, in  our own life situations of agony and anguish;  He surrendered everything to God The Father,  even His life. First He suffered persecution, and in the Garden of Gethsemane  He went through psychological, moral and emotional anguish; He sweated blood.  He was fully aware of what lay ahead, He knew He was going  to be betrayed and handed over to be killed, and being ..read more
