Easter being quite early this year, it is the first time in a very long while that the chaos which is my office every end-of-March/month-of-April will not be affecting me during the Easter season. I’d like to really take advantage of this gift of time for prayer/reflection this year.
So I will be signing off here until sometime after Divine Mercy Sunday. I wish you all a blessed Holy Week and a very joyous Easter.
I will keep you in my prayers.

[Excerpt from: The Passion from Within, by Adrienne von Speyr. From the Chapter: "Going Forth into the Passion"]
“Taking leave of prayer. The uninterrupted communion with the Father begins to break off. Everything recedes now into the light of estrangement. Humanly it is inexplicable how this estrangement could be ordained by the Father, how the Father holds the spirit of the Son of Man in his hands even before he has received it back expressly at the moment of death…
Until now it seemed that each of his human words was immediately taken up by the Father and even received an answer before a petition was uttered. Now he knows that it will be different: he has to ask as never 
before, inescapably, even if no answer is given. The word comes back sounding hollow. Or at least filled with the full sound of sin that the Son increasingly hears, stirring up anguish in him. All this is waiting outside the door, and the door will open. There are many doors, but whichever he chooses, it leads into the Passion.”

From Totustuusproduction, as we continue Consecration Preparation as well as our Lenten journey, drawing ever closer to His Passion and Mary’s. Dear Lord, please help us to break each and every one of Satan’s chains, once and for all.
