The Earth Trembled, the rocks were split and the tombs were opened. (Mt 27:51-52)

This passage at the moment of the crucifixion of Jesus at the instant of having given his spirit to the Father speaks to us of which God through nature manifests his pain from the death of his beloved son, it is the moment in which the High Priest Jesus Christ gives himself as an offering for all of us.

The earth trembled. We can assume that this trembling happens across the world as a signal that salvation will cover all humanity. It is the moment in which Jesus Christ becomes the base to edify the life of all of humanity and the enemy of humanity is cast out.

The rocks split and the tombs opened, there is no heart harder than that which will not open itself to the love of God, a promise for all times; the weight of the burden that we bring is lightened, it is broken and shared with Jesus, He helps us to bring it; the Earth is incapable of keeping us, for through the merits of Jesus Christ, it is Heaven that attacts us, lets us remove the tomb from the situation of death in which we may be.

Let us pray:

God Our Father, send Your Holy Spirit through the merits of your greatly beloved son Jesus Christ in my life and manifest yourself, Lord, in the situation in which I am living.

Amen.
