How one can participate in the sorrows of the Queen Mama<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta the Little Daughter of the Divine Will:<\/em><\/p>\n

Having been in much suffering because of the privation of my most sweet Jesus, this morning, the <\/strong><\/span>day of the Sorrows of Mary Most Holy<\/strong><\/span>, after I struggled in some way, He came and told me:\u00a0 \u201cMy daughter, what do you want, that you so much yearn for Me?\u201d<\/p>\n

And I:\u00a0 “Lord, what You have for Yourself \u2013 that is what I yearn for myself.”<\/p>\n

And He:\u00a0 \u201cMy daughter, for Myself I have thorns, nails and cross.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I:\u00a0 “Well then, that is what I want for myself.”\u00a0 So He gave me His crown of\u00a0thorns and shared with me the pains of the cross.<\/p>\n

Then He added:\u00a0 \u201cEveryone can share in the merits and in the <\/strong><\/span>goods produced by the sorrows of My Mother<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The one who, in advance, places herself in the hands of Providence, offering\u00a0herself to suffer any kind of pains, miseries, illnesses, calumnies, and\u00a0everything which the Lord will dispose upon her, comes to participate in the\u00a0first sorrow<\/span><\/strong><\/span> of the prophecy of Simeon.<\/p>\n

The one who actually finds herself amid sufferings, and is resigned, clings\u00a0more tightly to Me and does not offend Me, it is as if she were saving Me from\u00a0the hands of Herod, keeping Me safe and sound within the Egypt of her heart –\u00a0and she participates in the second sorrow<\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The one who feels downhearted, dry and deprived of my presence, and remains\u00a0yet firm and faithful to her usual practices – even more, she takes the\u00a0opportunity to love Me and to search for Me more, without tiring – comes to\u00a0participate in the merits and goods which my Mother acquired when I was\u00a0lost (third sorrow<\/span>).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The one who, in any circumstance she encounters, especially in seeing Me gravely offended, despised, trampled upon, tries to repair Me, to compassionate Me, and to pray for the very ones who offend Me \u2013 it is as if I encountered in that soul My own Mother who, if She could have done it, would have freed Me from My enemies; and she participates in the fourth sorrow<\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The one who crucifies her senses for love of My crucifixion, and tries to copy the virtues of My crucifixion within herself, participates in the fifth one<\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The one who is in a continuous attitude of adoring, of kissing My wounds, of repairing, of thanking etc., in the name of all mankind, it is as if she were holding Me in her arms, just as my Mother held Me when I was deposed from the Cross – and she participates in the sixth <\/span>sorrow<\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The one who remains in My grace and corresponds to it, giving a place to no one else but Me within her heart, it is as if she buried Me in the center of her heart – and she participates in the seventh one<\/span>.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
