Jesus Is the Support for the Heart of All Mothers

Dom João Inácio Müller celebra Missa da Festa da Porciúncula – Perdão de Assis – no Santuário do Pai das Misericórdias

The heart of Jesus is the most sublime support of the heart of all mothers

“Woman, great is your faith! Be it done as thou wilt! “And from that time on his daughter was healed”(Matthew 15:28).

 

When I listen to this Gospel, it moves my heart too much, for I imagine the scene of these events, but I admire too much this woman of faith and trust who represents our mothers, many of our women suffering, hurt, tormented, because they gave their all to care for their children. When this mother is helpless, because she can not do anything for her son, a desperate air takes over, but it is not because she is desperate, it is because no mother, when she is powerless to take care of her child, knows What to do.

When the mother has in God her trust and her grace, she resorts to him with all the strength of her soul and heart.

The heart of Jesus is the most sublime support of the heart of all mothers, it is the refuge of all of them in affliction, the pain that takes care of their heart when it must save any of their children.

This woman is for us a portrait, a symbol of all mothers who live constant afflictions in their lives because of their children.

There are mothers who no longer have a life of their own, because they no longer live for themselves, they live because of their children who are passing through illnesses, illnesses, momentary sufferings or not, children dying in the world of drugs, alcohol and Life.

A mother sought help and support in all she could, but she found only the help of Jesus. This mother went into the arms of Jesus and, with the faith she has, she begged and begged. Jesus seems to be questioning, “Look, I came first to these.” She replies, “No, my Lord! I am begging the crumbs of Your heart for My crumbs suffice for me, for my pain, for my affliction and for what I am going through. Like the puppies that eat the crumbs that fall off the table, I have the right to them, I need them. “

What faith, what confidence, how moving the faith of our mothers! And to the mothers I say from the bottom of my soul and my heart: that your faith continues being great. If she is small, increase her, do not lose your trust in the Lord. Beg for the crumbs that fall from His table, but be sure to seek in the Lord the refuge to save your children, to save those who are a part of your life, your heart and your whole being. Mother, your refuge is the heart of Jesus.

God bless you!
