The Holy Family in Prayer

We must forgive to be true children of God

A man of rather good appearance went to the hospital to offer himself as a companion to Saint John of God. John, who was full of tact, had no difficulty in recognizing that the subject was not suitable for him. He told him so with kindness, but he could not prevent the man from becoming angry and making a racket that attracted a lot of people. He eventually moved away, but picking up a stone, he threw it with all his might in the face of the Saint, and disappeared. John, in a daze, held back those who wanted to pursue him, and said to them among other things, “Is it not right that I should forgive him this one offense, when I have so many before God that need to be forgiven?”

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
