Christ's heart was pierced with the
soldier's lance after He had accomplished his mission on earth by dying on the
Cross. He let His Heart be pierced and be opened wide so that the fountain of
grace and mercy, the fullness of what He is about would flow freely from His
Heart to the world so that the world would bear fruit and that fruit is love. Love that made
Him come down from above and became one of us, man except sin; love that kept him silent amidst all the afflictions He endured from his own people and even from
his trusted friends who left Him alone. Betrayal did not prevent Him from loving. He
did not open his mouth when He was mocked; reviled; questioned for all the good
things He did to others. He knows what He is all about. There is no need for Him
to defend Himself. Humility is to do good and then disappear, keep silent. There is no need to depend anything when one is doing good things out of love. Love is to depend those who are oppressed and mistreated, those that come your way and ask for help, but not ones self. “Learn from
Me for I am meek and humble of Heart.” He says. He knows that what was going to happen to Him by emptying himself and becoming man
was part of the big plan of his Father who loves Him and who loves us very much
to the point of sacrificing Him, the only Son. Yes, everything was part of the plan of
Love. He knows, that is why, "He loves his friends to the
end..." He knows everything is bound to happen -- He, the Son of the most
High God became man so that in our humanity, he can
transform us and be with Him in the fullness of life in his divinity. That is
all it is all about. He spared nothing to give us the Way back to
the Father.... because He loves us.
