On this day, we commemorate the departure of the Chosen People from the
long slavery spent in Egypt. It is the passage of the Angel of the Lord,
who strikes the first-born of the Egyptians and spares the houses of the
Hebrews, marked with the blood of the lamb.
The true Lamb of God has now been immolated on the Cross. His blood has
descended upon the houses of all and has redeemed the entire human race.
The Lamb immolated for you now lies in his new sepulchre.
The Mother keeps watch in sorrow and in tears, in faith and in prayer, in
love and in hope. This day has been dedicated by the Church to a special
veneration of your heavenly Mother, because on it the tomb is transformed
into a crib, in which humanity is placed, redeemed and now born to a new
divine life.
My Immaculate Heart is opened to receive here each of my new children. The
tears unfold into a smile, the sorrow into joy, the hope into the greatest
certitude.
Within a few hours my Son Jesus will come forth triumphant from the
sepulchre, Victor over sin and death.
This is the Sabbath which prepares the radiant day of the resurrection.
This is the sorrow which leads to joy.
This is the death which opens upon life.
This is the Sabbath which is about to end.
Humanity, corrupted by sin, slave to Satan, wounded by evil, oppressed
under the yoke of a great slavery, still lies in its sepulchre. The hour is
drawing close when Jesus, who has risen and ascended to the right hand of
the Father, will return to you on the clouds of heaven, in the splendor of
his divine glory, thus bringing to perfect fulfillment the work of his
Redemption."
