As I was doing the Stations of the Cross, it occurred to me that none of Jesus' friends nor any of the people whom he helped at their time of needs ever said a word in his defense. Not even one! Here's a God who keeps pouring grace upon grace in so many uncountable ways on these people and not even one speaks for him when he was falsely accused.
I see myself in all of these people. I see myself doing this to Jesus all the time. He has answered my prayers and saved me from my woes countless times, but I still desert him till the next woe. I defy his instructions, which are meant for my good, and go against him and my true nature. What does he do? He waits for me 'to come to my senses' like the prodigal that I am.
Lord, I just want to say, "Thank You!!!" Thank you that you are not like us. Thank you for Your Sacred Merciful Heart!
