Mother of Joy

"Share with me in the joy of all the universe, beloved children. Jesus is risen! The dark hour of Gethsemane and Calvary has passed. In three days, the greatest mystery of history has been completed: the betrayal; the judgment; the condemnation; Calvary; the agony; the death and the new sepulchre. All has passed. Jesus is risen! Jesus is alive in our midst. Let your joy be great, together with me who am the Mother of Joy. From the moment when Jesus appeared to me in the splendor of his glorified body, my heart was filled with such a great fullness of joy that it has never again abandoned it. Let nothing now disturb the deep joy of your human existence: not the sin, which has been cancelled out; not the sorrow, which has been ransomed; not death, which has been conquered for ever.
Your earthly journey is passing through the stages of the very journey of Christ. You are still in the moments of the purification and the suffering, of Gethsemane and of Calvary.
But today, open the doors of your heart only to the joy, with me who am the Mother of your joy. Christ, risen and living in our midst, arranges all events for the accomplishment of his divine plan, and predisposes everything so that his reign of glory may quickly come upon you."
