Twelfth Hour from 4 to 5 AM: Jesus at the mercy of the soldiers (Italian version text below)
"My Most Sweet Life, Jesus, while sleeping, clinging to Your Heart, I often feel the pricks of the thorns which prick Your Most Holy Heart. And wanting to wake up together with You, that You may have at least one who notices all of Your pains and feels compassion for You, I cling more tightly to Your Heart; and feeling Your prickings more vividly, I wake up. But, what do I see? What do I hear? I would like to hide You in my heart to expose myself in Your place, and receive upon myself pains so intense, insults and humiliations so incredible. But only Your Love could bear so many outrages. My Most Patient Jesus, what could You expect from people so inhuman?
I now see that they are making fun of You. They cover Your Face with thick spit; the light of Your beautiful eyes is covered by the spit; and You, pouring rivers of tears for our salvation, push that spit away from Your eyes, and Your enemies, with hearts incapable of seeing the Light of Your eyes, cover them with spit again. Others, becoming braver in evil, open Your most sweet mouth and fill it with disgusting spit, to the point that they themselves feel nausea. And since some of that spit flows away, revealing, in part, the Majesty of Your Face and Your superhuman Sweetness, they shudder and feel ashamed of themselves. And in order to feel more free, they blindfold You with a miserable rag, to be able to hurl themselves, unrestrained, at Your Adorable Person. And so they beat You up without pity; they drag You; they trample You under their feet and they repeat the blows and the slaps to Your Face and over Your Head, scratching You, and tearing Your hair, and pushing You from one point to another.
Jesus, my Love, my heart cannot bear seeing You in the midst of so many pains. You want me to notice everything, but I feel I would rather cover my eyes so as not to see scenes so painful, which tear the heart from any chest. But my love for You forces me to look at what happens to You.
And I see that You utter not a breath, that You say not a word to defend Yourself; that You are in the hands of these soldiers like a rag, and they can do with You whatever they want. And in seeing them jumping on You, I fear You may die under their feet.
My Good and my All, the sorrow I feel for Your pains is so great, that I would like to shout so loudly as to be heard up there in Heaven, and call the Father, the Holy Spirit and all the Angels; and here on earth, from one point to another, to call Sweet Mama first, and all the souls who love You, so that, forming a circle around You, we may prevent these insolent soldiers from drawing near You to insult You and torment You more. Together with You, we repair for all the night sins, especially those committed at night by sectarians, over Your Sacramental Person, and for all the offenses of the souls who do not remain faithful in the night of trial.
But I see, my insulted Good, that the soldiers, tired and drunk, would like to rest, and my poor heart, oppressed and lacerated by Your so many pains, does not want to remain alone with You—it feels the need of another company. O please, my Sweet Mama, be my inseparable company; let us embrace Jesus together, in order to console Him! O Jesus, together with Mama, I kiss You and I bless You; and with Her, I will have the sleep of Love upon Your Adorable Heart.
Vita mia dolcissima, Gesù, mentre dormivo stretta al tuo cuore, spesso spesso mi sentivo pungere dalle spine che pungono il tuo santissimo cuore. E volendo svegliarmi perché tu abbia una almeno che noti tutte le tue pene e ti compatisca, mi stringo più forte al tuo cuore, e, sentendo più al vivo le tue punture, mi sveglio. Ma che vedo? Che sento? Vorrei nasconderti nel mio cuore per espormi in vece tua e ricevere su di me pene così dolorose, insulti ed umiliazioni così indicibili. Ma solo il tuo amore poteva sostenere tanti oltraggi. Mio pazientissimo Gesù, che cosa potevi sperare da gente così inumana?
Già vedo che si prendono gioco di te. Ti coprono il volto di densi sputi, la luce dei tuoi begli occhi resta coperta di sputi; e tu, mandando fiumi di lacrime per la nostra salvezza, spingi dai tuoi occhi quegli sputi. E i tuoi nemici, non essendo il loro cuore capace di vedere la luce dei tuoi occhi, tornano di nuovo a coprirli di sputi.
Altri, facendosi più bravi nel male, ti aprono la dolcissima bocca e te la riempiono di sputi fetenti, tanto che loro stessi ne sentono la nausea. E siccome quegli sputi scendono e mostrano in parte la maestà del tuo volto e la tua sovrumana dolcezza, si sentono rabbrividire e si vergognano di se stessi; e per essere più liberi ti bendano gli occhi con uno straccio vilissimo, in modo da potersi del tutto sfrenare sulla tua adorabile persona. Sicché ti battono senza pietà, ti trascinano, ti pestano sotto i piedi e ripetono i pugni, gli schiaffi sul tuo volto e sulla testa, graffiandoti e tirandoti per i capelli, e ti sbalzano da un punto all’altro.
Gesù, Amor mio, il cuore non regge vedendoti in tante pene. Tu vuoi che noti tutto, ma io mi sento che vorrei coprirmi gli occhi per non vedere scene così dolorose che fanno strappare il cuore da ogni petto, ma l’amore per te mi costringe a guardare che ne è di te. E vedo che non fiati, che non dici una parola per difenderti, che stai in mano a questi soldati come uno straccio e possono fare di te quello che vogliono, e, vedendoli saltare sopra di te, temo che tu muoia sotto i loro piedi.
Mio Bene e mio Tutto, è tanto il dolore che sento per le tue pene, che vorrei dare grida così forti da farmi sentire su nel cielo, e chiamare il Padre, lo Spirito Santo e gli angeli tutti, e qui in terra, da un punto all’altro, chiamare per prima la dolce Mamma e tutte le anime che ti amano, in modo che, formando cerchio attorno a te, impediamo a questi insolenti soldati di avvicinarsi a te per insultarti e tormentarti ancora. Ed insieme con te ripariamo tutte le specie di peccati notturni, soprattutto quelli commessi dai settari sulla tua sacramentale persona durante la notte, e tutte le offese delle anime che non si mantengono fedeli nella notte della prova.
Ma vedo, insultato mio Bene, che i soldati, stanchi e ubriachi, vorrebbero riposarsi; ed il povero mio cuore, oppresso e lacerato da tante tue pene, non vuol restare solo insieme con te, sente il bisogno di un’altra compagnia.
Deh! Dolce Mamma mia, sii tu la mia inseparabile compagnia, abbracciamo insieme Gesù per consolarlo. O Gesù, insieme con la Mamma ti bacio e benedico, e con lei prenderò il sonno dell’amore sul tuo adorabile cuore.
Riflessioni e Pratiche
Gesù in quest’ora è in mezzo ai soldati con animo imperturbabile, con costanza ferrea. Da quel Dio che è, soffre tutti gli strapazzi che i soldati gli fanno, e li guarda con tanto amore, da sembrare che li inviti a dargli più pene.
E noi, nelle ripetute sofferenze, siamo costanti, oppure ci lamentiamo, c’infastidiamo, perdiamo la pace, quella pace del cuore necessaria per fare che Gesù possa trovare in noi una felice dimora?
La fermezza è quella virtù che fa conoscere se Dio regna veramente in noi. Se è vera virtù la nostra, saremo fermi nella prova con una fermezza, non a periodi, ma sempre eguale a se stessa, ed è questa sola fermezza che ci dà la pace. Come più ci rendiamo fermi nel bene, nel patire e nell’operare, così veniamo ad allargare il campo intorno a noi, dove Gesù allargherà le sue grazie. Sicché, se noi saremo incostanti, piccolo sarà il nostro campo, e Gesù poco o nulla potrà spaziarsi. Se invece noi saremo fermi e costanti, trovando Gesù il campo molto esteso, troverà in noi il suo appoggio e sostegno, e dove distendere le sue grazie.
Se vogliamo che il nostro amato Gesù riposi in noi, circondiamolo della stessa fermezza con cui operava per la salvezza delle anime nostre. Egli così difeso starà nel nostro cuore in dolce riposo.
Gesù guardava con amore quelli che lo maltrattavano. E noi, guardiamo con lo stesso amore quelli che ci offendono? E l’amore che mostriamo loro è tanto, da far che sia voce così potente per i loro cuori da convertirli a Gesù?
Mio Gesù, Amore senza confine, dammi questo amore e fa che ogni pena chiami anime a te.

"I was recently on vacation and flying home from Los Angeles back to Georgia. The day before the plane flight I had been to Mexico and had bought a couple of rosaries for my daughter and my sister-in-law. I am not Catholic, but many of my relatives are. The plane had some issues, and we had to wait about 4 1/2 hours. The plane takes off and about 40 minutes into the flight, the captain informed us that we had lost an engine. I must say that due to knowing that and due to the fact the flight attendants were preparing us for an emergency landing, I really, really didn't know if maybe that was the end for me. The end of this life. I found myself looking at my husband. I was noticing a woman across from me who was crying. I was feeling like my heart was about to jump out of my chest out of fear. I took out one of the rosaries and began a very lame attempt at saying a Hail Mary that I had heard my daughter say on many occasions. Somehow, having that rosary and having that prayer to say, it really calmed me and I really, truly felt a sense of peace. I thought, this is weird, I'm Protestant---I'm praying to God as well, and thinking, please dear God, I need to see my granddaughter grow up. I need to be here. Anyway, I finally get about the whole Mary thing. I think doing that prayer and thinking about the mother of Jesus, a lot of my concerns were around the fact that as a mother and as a grandmother I just didn't quite feel like I wanted to leave quite yet...I get it about Mary."

Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal (Notre-Dame Basilica), at 110 Rue Notre Dame Ouest, facing Place d'Armes square, was designed in 1824 by James O'Donnell. At the time of its completion, the Neo-Gothic structure was the largest church in North America. Notre-Dame was raised to the status of a minor basilica by Pope John Paul II during a visit to the city on April 21, 1982.
In 1657, the Roman Catholic Sulpician Order arrived in Ville-Marie, now known as Montreal; six years later the seigneury of the island was vested in them and they ruled until 1840. The parish they founded was dedicated to the Holy Name of Mary, and the parish church of Notre-Dame was built on the site in 1672. By 1824 the congregation had completely outgrown the church, and O'Donnell, an Irish-American Protestant from New York, was commissioned to design the new building. O'Donnell was a proponent of the Gothic Revival architectural movement, and designed the church as such. It is said that the experience affected him so profoundly that he converted to Catholicism prior to his 1930 death. He is the only person to be buried in the church's crypt.
Work on the church's interior continued under the guidance of Victor Bourgeau until 1879. Notre Dame's ceiling is coloured deep blue and decorated with golden stars. It is filled with hundreds of intricate wooden carvings and several religious statues. The main altar is made from a hand-carved linden tree. The stained glass windows depict scenes from the religious history of Montreal, instead of more traditional biblical scenes. It also has a Canadian-built Casavant Frères pipe organ, which comprises four keyboards, 97 stops, almost 7000 individual pipes and a pedal board. A 10-bell carillon resides in the east tower, while the west tower contains a single massive bell. Nicknamed "Le Gros Bourdon," it weighs more than 12 tons and has a low, resonant rumble that vibrates right up through your feet. It is tolled only on special occasions.
Chapelle du Sacré-Coeur (Chapel of the Sacred Heart), a more inimate chapel, was built behind the altar in 1888. A major arson fire destroyed the Sacré-Coeur on December 7, 1978. It was rebuilt and rededicated in 1982. The chapel's new altar feature 32 bronze panels by Montréal artist Charles Daudelin, representing birth, life, and death.
Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal was the site of the 2000 state funeral of Pierre Trudeau, Canada's 15th prime minister, and the 2000 provincial state funeral for former Montreal Canadiens superstar, Maurice "Rocket" " Richard. It was also the site for Celine Dion's 1994 wedding to René Angélil.
Sir Peter Paul Rubens (June 28, 1577 – May 30, 1640) was a prolific seventeenth-century Flemish Baroque painter, and a proponent of an extravagant Baroque style that emphasized movement, color, and sensuality. He is well-known for his Counter-Reformation altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects.

"Jesus summoned his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to cast them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness.
These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, the one who was to betray him. These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them as follows:
‘Do not turn your steps to pagan territory, and do not enter any Samaritan town; go rather to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.’"
– Matthew 10:1-7, which is today's Gospel for the 14th Wed. of Ordinary Time.
