Good Friday

​On Golgotha ​​Jesus made the supreme act of faith towards the Father. On Golgotha ​​it shines the faith of Mary who, when Jesus hands over his spirit, remains the only one to illuminate the earth for all Friday and Holy Saturday. Calvary is the place of faith. But also for us, our small Calvary, the one that is enclosed within the perimeter of four walls, must be the place of faith, of trust, of our abandonment in God.
There is a very beautiful prayer by Charles de Foucault, which translates this abandonment. «My Father, I abandon myself to You. Do with me what you like. Whatever you do, I'm grateful! I am ready for anything, as long as Your will is done in me and in all your creatures. I desire nothing else, my God! I put my soul in Your hands, I give it to You, my God, with all the love of my heart, because I love You. And for me it is a necessity of love to give myself and put myself in Your hands, without holding back anything, with infinite trust, because You are my Father."
It is a prayer filled of joy, of light, of peace, of comfort. Let's not give up. Let's hand ourselves over, if ever. The Good Friday is the day of trust: "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit". And it is also the day in which we want to make a large stock of faith in order to distribute it to all those who need it. And when people come to us and tell us, like the foolish virgins: «we don't have any more oil», we can answer: «don't worry, come to our oil mill, we have plenty of it for you and for everyone."
