The Medical Account Of Christ's Last Days and The Cross

RC, I broke out in tears at the movie, The Passion of the Christ when I saw our Lord and God(depicted by the inspired Actor James Caviezal)reacted when he saw the face of the first Christian Disciple, his very own Beautiful Mother, the BVM, and in spite of the blood, dirt and sweat a loving smile transformed that battered face when he said "You see Mother, I make all things New!......" The Blessed Virgin Mary did not shake her fist at Providence nor did she get angry with God. She Loved her Son, like no other human being as only a Mother can yet remained Faithful despite the enormous Sacrifice God asked of her! One wonders how much she understood at that moment God asked so much of her. Her Son was being brutalized and suffering the very same Condemnation of death that she faced when found to be pregnant and unmarried 30 some years earlier. She was a Christian par excellence! Indeed she is the New EVE, the First true Christian!
When the Apostles wanted to run away and locked themselves in the upper room for protection and prayer, Mary was there. Her calming faithfulness has always been a presence and a force in the birth and growth of the Christian Church. That more Christians followed her incredible example is my prayer. Her influence on me and all Christians is to point to her Son, her Savior and ours. Like at Cana she tells us to "Do as he(her Son) says!" Mary is the perfect example of how to be a true Disciple of Christ. If people can not understand this simple truth then they suffer from "Invincible Ignorance" and only the Holy Spirit can change their Minds and Heart. We Christians who Honor the Lord's Mother do so because we Love the Lord and Mary helps us to love him more dearly and see him more clearly as the song says. If this honor I have for our Lord's wonderful Mother is a used as a weapon to judge me as a lesser Christian then so be it. I Adore Christ and I thank his Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary for her influence on my Love for her Son.

I am confident God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost will not hold this against me.

Beautiful sentiments by the Doctor above on Our Lord's Passion. Another one I like is "A Doctor at Calvary: The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ As Described by a Surgeon" by Pierre Barbet.
