The Eucharist and the Mothers of the Cross Fr. Jordi Rivero Just as the Lord made His Mother Mary our mother at the Cross, Mothers of the Cross become mothers of priests by their victimhood of love united to Christ the Victim at Calvary. Our Simple Path to Union with God is at the same time the path of their vocation to be spiritual mothers for priests. No woman should dare embrace spiritual motherhood for priests unless in the context of a life united with Mary at the Cross. ​ The Cross can only be a reality for us today if we are adorers of the living Eucharistic Christ. All Mothers of the Cross do their best to adore the Eucharist daily. For some it is not possible to do so being physically present. The Lord, seeing their desire to do so will be spiritually present to them. ​ St. Peter Julian Eymard captures well the vocation of Mary at the Cross and the Eucharist. Think of how it applies to the Mothers of the Cross: ​ "Ever since Calvary, all men were her children. She loved them with a Mother’s tenderness and longed for their supreme good as for her own; therefore, she was consumed with the desire to make Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament known to all, to inflame all hearts with His love, to see them enchained to His loving service. To obtain this favor, Mary passed her time at the foot of the Most Adorable Sacrament, in prayer and penance. There she treated the world’s salvation. In her boundless zeal, she embraced the needs of the faithful everywhere, for all time to come, who would inherit the Holy Eucharist and be Its adorers... Her prayers converted countless souls, and as every conversion is the fruit of prayer, and since Mary’s prayer could meet no refusal, the Apostles had in this Mother of Mercy their most powerful helper. 'Blessed is he for whom Mary prays!'" ​ "Eucharistic adorers share Mary’s life and mission of prayer at the foot of the Most Blessed Sacrament. It is the most beautiful of all missions, and it holds no perils. It is the most holy, for in it all the virtues are practiced. It is, moreover, the most necessary to the Church, which has even more need of prayerful souls than of powerful preachers; of men of penance rather than men of eloquence. Today more than ever have we need of men who, by their self-immolation, disarm the anger of God inflamed by the ever increasing crimes of nations. We must have souls who by their importunity re- open the treasures of grace which the indifference of the multitude has closed. We must have true adorers; that is to say, men of fervor and of sacrifice. When there are many such souls around their Divine Chief, God will be glorified, Jesus will be loved, and society will once more become Christian, conquered for Jesus Christ by the apostolate of Eucharistic prayer."

Our Lady takes us to the Eucharist Part IV Entering the Basilica's upper chapel to celebrate our Community Mass. Dec 10. The bus could not take us to the convent due to the crowds, and none of us knew how to get there. This made us late for our scheduled Mass at the basilica, it appeared that we would miss the opportunity to celebrate it. We were able to apply what the Lord has taught, living in His hands. Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, from the high chapel where we celebrated Mass. Some Marian dates of LC 2006: Our Blessed Mother invited Lourdes at Medjugorje to be a victim soul. 2008: Love Crucified was founded. 2009: Our Lady of Laus at the Sanctuary (France) deepens our identity to be ONE with her in Jesus Crucified, Mothers of the Cross and Missionaries of the Cross. 2011 : At Tepeyac, Our Lady of Guadalupe gave Lourdes further clarity about the identity and mission of Love Crucified. 2016: 25 members of Love Crucified go as pilgrims to Tepeyac to give thanks, re-consecrate, and continue to listen and ponder in our hearts with Our Lady of Guadalupe. Left to right: Maria Hickein, Fr. Ron Sciera, Daniel Blanchette. Tabernacle On the night of Dec. 11th, we went early to the basilica, hoping at least to be able to participate in the midnight Mass of the solemnity of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Dec 12, 12 AM) at a distance... But our Lady had better plans. Lourdes wrote: ​ We had no assigned seats inside the Basilica, so we thought we would probably have to stand outside for the Mass. To our surprise, through a connection Edgar made with a priest of the Basilica, we ended up sitting almost in front of the altar. This was another gift from our Blessed Mother to our LC community! ​ See video In Video, see: 28:33 – center, front row, from far, Michelle and Patti. 44:22 – Father Jordi with the other priests. 53:13 – Jacky, Eucharist. 53:49 – Fr. Jordi, Eucharist. 1:03:11– Fr. Jordi. ​ Our Lady gave us the first seats of her basilica for the Mass of her feast. We were her little guests of honor, but those seats were not an honor in the way of the world. Our Lady placed us close to the altar of sacrifice, where Jesus gives Himself as a Victim of love so that we, too, live fully as victims with the Victim. Our Lady, in this way, received our community and prepared us to live being ONE with her at the foot of the Cross. Our Blessed Mother gave us this message before the midnight Mass: "I have brought you before me to receive the fullness of the blessing God desires to give you and my family of LC. Receive my tears of joy; joy for your fiat united to mine; joy for your faithfulness to live united as One Body to the Holy Sacrifice of my Son. Receive the crown of glory reserved for the martyrs of Christ’s love. Do not be afraid during the time of the great trial that must come upon the world, for I am with you. You have followed me to the altar of sacrifice. It is here, in the perfect sacrifice of the Mass, that I am forming you as God’s holy warriors of love to fight the final battle. Remain with me in the perfect Sacrifice of my Son, and you will receive the crown of glory..." Continue to Part V

OUR LADY OF SILENCE

Testimony: Power of the Hidden Life Juan Carlos Duque & Lilian Giraldo – November, 2019 Translated by Father Jordi Rivero ​ Husband and wife, members of the Love Crucified Community, share their testimony of how God used two experiences to confirm their identity as victim souls and to reveal the power of the hidden life and of the cross as one with Him.

Sword of the Sufferer Part III - The Cross of Pure Love Lourdes Pinto – November 22, 2011 Weeping over Jerusalem Cenacle 11/22/11 Luke 19:41-44 As he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If this day you only knew what makes for peace, but now it is hidden from your eyes. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides. They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation" ​ "it is hidden from your eyes". If we don't recognize Jesus as Lord we cannot see what makes for peace. We must COME TO THE FOOT OF THE CROSS to remove the plank from your eyes that keeps us from contemplating the glory of God in Christ Crucified. ​ 11/16/10 Eyes have not seen nor ears heard what your God has prepared for you in heaven. I invite you to come and see. I will remove the veil that covers the eyes of your soul so that you can see what few are able to see. You will see the new Jerusalem in all her glory. She, more precious than gold or diamonds, will be yours to possess. Allow Me to remove the plank from your eyes that keeps you from contemplating the glory of God before you. Come My daughter and bring many to the foot of the Cross. Prostrate yourselves before the foot of My Cross and kiss holy ground. Rise and embrace My precious feet, and kiss My wounded feet. It is here through this gesture of humility and love that the plank of pride and self-love is removed from blinding your sight. Touch My feet, bless My feet with your kisses and cleanse them with your tears. The Holy Spirit drew Mary Magdalene to this act of love in preparation for My crucifixion, and it is My Mother who completed this act of love and reparation at My crucifixion. It is here at My precious feet that you receive the gold of precious repentance. I desire for you to bring My sons to the foot of My Cross. ​ What Makes for Peace? (Homily of Pope Benedict XVI, Sword of the Sufferer) ​ ...the most precious contribution we can make to the cause of peace is that of prayer. Jesus Christ is a meek and humble King. King of the anawim, of those whose hearts are free of the lust for power and material riches, free of the will and the search for dominion over others. ​ It is not the sword of the conqueror that builds peace, but the sword of the sufferer, of he who knows how to give his very life. ​ THE CROSS : "Jesus is the poor king among the poor, meek among those who desire to be meek. In this way, He is the king of peace, thanks to the power of God, which is the power of good, the power of love. He is a king who causes the chariots and charioteers of battle to disappear, who will shatter the bows of war; He is a king who will bring peace to fulfillment on the Cross by joining heaven and earth, and by throwing a bridge of brotherhood between all peoples. The Cross is the new bow of peace, the sign and instrument of reconciliation, of forgiveness, of understanding, a sign of the love that is stronger than all violence and oppression, stronger than death: Evil is conquered with good, with love." ​ "In his own flesh he abolished the law with its commands and precepts, to create in himself one new man from us who had been two and to make peace, reconciling both of us to God in one body through the cross, which put that enmity to death." (Ephesians 2: 15-16) ​ Pure Love Pure love is of far greater apostolic fecundity than the most outstanding works accomplished with less than love. It is at the eve of life, in silence and isolation, in prayer and in sacrifice, that God's Mother attains her maximum of love and her fullness of apostolic fecundity in the service of the Church of Christ, just as Christ Himself did not save the world in the luster of His Word and of His miracles, but on the Cross. (Conchita: A Mother's Spiritual Diary p. 181) ​ The purest love on earth must be united to suffering. "My daughter, the purest love on earth must be united to suffering. I came from Heaven to Earth to suffer in expiation for the sins of the world. This is love. Pure love gives itself solely because of love. The love of the Trinity is pure love, therefore, the Father gives His life by giving to the world His only begotten Son. The Holy Spirit flows from this most pure love, thus igniting the hearts of souls to suffer with Me so that they can enter in Love. The Cross without My Sacred Heart is useless suffering brought about by sin. But suffering united to My Cross is new life; it is participation in the work of redemption which is participation in the life of the Trinity. These mysteries can only be grasped by a humble heart, therefore, you must call My sons first to repentance at the foot of My Cross to receive the gold of precious repentance. Be still My daughter, for it is the pure suffering of the Mothers of the Cross that I will use to pierce the harshness of My sons' hearts. Suffer all with perfect faith in My crucified love." (1/13/11) ​ You (LC) are Our true contemplatives of the Cross and the oasis of Our suffering Hearts. I cry tears of blood because My Heart profusely bleeds with so many thorns. It is your hands, as you suffer all with Jesus, that removes so many thorns that cause Us to suffer. It is you (LC) that the Father is most pleased with. The hands of the priests are the hands of My Son who come to me to remove these thorns that cause me so much suffering. The hands of purity remove these thorns but purity in every act, purity in every thought, purity in every desire It is not busyness with so much to do that consoles our Hearts but pure love in every act, thought and desire. The Missionaries of the Cross, above all, must be PURE and the hands of Jesus removing the thorns that pierce my Heart. Teach this SIMPLE PATH OF HOLINESS Jesus and I are leading you in to all. Remain steadfast in your mission and share the treasures you are receiving with all. (5/16/11) ​ It is through the "treasured pearl of suffering" that our Lord called us to "receive" that we are able to PARTICIPATE in our Spouse's redemptive suffering. It is in this participation of SUFFERING WITH HIM that we come to KNOW LOVE and LIVE IN LOVE! We enter the fire of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which is PURE LOVE, the love of the Most Holy Trinity, through the passage of suffering all with Him. This is the life of true *victim souls; the life of pure love, and this is the "PURE LOVE" our Lord says will conquer the darkness that is consuming the world. ​ Why do I desire and need for you to suffer with Me? It is through My suffering that you come to know Love. Love is purified in suffering, but My suffering is pure love, therefore, when you suffer with Me your love is purified in Me. This suffering with Me and loving with Me brings new life, a new creation. Allow all suffering to draw you into My sufferings and sorrows and in this way you will come to know Love. My Sacred Heart is pure love. You were created for Love, but how few, My little one, come to know Love and enter the joy of living in Love. Satan and the principalities of darkness have been conquered by My crucified love. The triumph of My Cross, which is the triumph of Love, will come to fullness through My martyrs of love. This is your mission: to raise up many martyrs of love for the decisive battle at hand. (8/27/11) ​ The mission of Love Crucified is to raise up many martyrs of love for the decisive battle at hand. The MC must call with great courage and zeal their brother priests to lay down their lives as My victims of love. They must call them to love, the love that I revealed to the world. The pure love of poverty, chastity, sacrifice and mortification. The extreme love of God found only in the Cross. (9/13/11) Back

Our Lady reminded us at Fatima of the importance of praying it daily to be united with her, to save many from hell and to bring about peace in our homes and in the world. Every family should pray the rosary daily united as one. The Holy Rosary is not a pious practice banished to the past, like prayers of other times thought of with nostalgia. Instead, the Rosary is experiencing a new springtime. —Pope Benedict XVI, May 3, 2008, first Saturday. ​ 🔗 Mysteries of the Rosary With Messages from the Simple Path 🔗 Rosary in reparation and Intercession for priests and religious Prayers to St. Joseph 🔗 St. Joseph Novena & prayer 🔗 Consecration (Fr.

T he E ntire World Will Experience the Purge of Fire The message of our Sorrowful Mother – Dec 8, 2022 Back

Long Suffering Perfects Us in Love Lourdes Pinto - June 22 , 2023 TOP T hrough the grace of long-suffering, you are perfected in love if you allow the Spirit to bring into the light of your conscience the darkness that lives in each of your hearts. This teaching explains, through the lives of Tobit and Sarah, how God uses long-suffering to perfect us in love.

The importance of living our consecration to Mary Lourdes Pinto, adapted from her letter to families. During these times of great spiritual battle we must understand the importance of LIVING OUR CONSECRATION. During the past few months I have read two books by Fr. Kosicki, The Spirit And The Bride Say, “Come!” and Spiritual Warfare: Attack Against The Woman. These two books have given me a deeper understanding of the importance of consecrating ourselves and families to Mary, and living out our consecration. God is calling us to holiness and I firmly believe that God has a special plan for our families. But it will require each of us to RESPOND FULLY. Fr. Kosicki writes, We believe that consecration to Mary is an essential step toward the sovereign act needed to bring about the new Pentecost. This step of consecration is a needed preparation for Calvary where in a corporate way we will experience the crucifixion as did Jesus, our Head. The Cross is the source of the power both of resurrection and Pentecost. From Calvary we will move to the Cenacle where, as the Bride in union with the Spirit, ‘together with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and guided by blessed Peter’ we will pray, ‘Come Lord Jesus!’ — TSBSC p.xiv I believe that we are each being formed and purified by our Blessed Mother to participate in the triumph of her Immaculate Heart and in helping save many souls. Fr. Kosicki explains, What Mary is experiencing now as ‘redemptrix- with’ the Lord Jesus is a foretaste of what the whole Church is to experience. The Church is to be the effective sign (sacrament) of salvation to the whole world. What Mary is experiencing now as mother and model is the fulfillment and reality of what is in store for all of us! This ‘saving role’ now exercised by Mary is to be the role of the Church in the world. The Church, like Jesus, the Head, is to ascend Calvary and shed its blood in union with him for the salvation of the world. Mary’s role as mother is to prepare us for this ‘yes’ on Calvary. — TSBSC p. 45. And further, we fulfill the command of the Lord to us on the Cross, ‘There is your mother’ as we take her as our own (Jn. 19:27). This is the scriptural foundation for consecration to Mary, and we allow Mary to fulfill the command Jesus gave to her, that is, to form us as sons (Jn. 19:26). By entrusting our lives to her we unite our ‘yes’ with her ‘yes’ of Nazareth and of Calvary. By entrusting our lives to her we draw down the Spirit and make possible the new Pentecost. — TSBSC p. 70 Fr. Kosicki in his book, Spiritual Warfare, explains in detail the devil’s all-out-warfare against this age and gives us the armour needed to withstand the evil pushing in on us. God has chosen Mary to defeat Satan. Through our consecration, Mary wants to make us immaculate like her. St. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians 5:27 writes, “…that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.” Mary wants to equip us with the weapons of humility and purity to defeat Satan. God reveals Himself to the pure and simple of heart; how important are these virtues for our growth in holiness. Fr. Kosicki elaborates this point for us by saying, She will teach us and bring us to her sinlessness, her holiness and will prepare us for the victorious battle of the Cross- even as she prepared Jesus! She will bring us to His docility to the will of the Father, to His humility, to His obedience, to His forgiveness and to His love which transformed suffering into salvation. We need to enroll ourselves in her school of holiness by entrusting our lives to her by consecration. By consecration, we allow Mary to fulfill the Lord’s plans both for her and for us. —SW p.17. Our families and our community must be marked by LOVE, but not just any kind of love, but the love revealed to us by Jesus and Mary on the Cross. A concern is often raised concerning the amount of activities that we have. We can NEVER become just a community of great activities, but rather, a community anchored in love of God and love of neighbor! We must live our consecration by helping each other carry our crosses and by allowing our Mother to lead us through the passage of Calvary as she did her Son. This is the ONLY passage that leads to Heaven and to sainthood. We must be a community of SAINTS FORMING SAINTS!! I would like to end my letter with Jesus’ words to Conchita on the kind of love He desires: Give Me a love like this, give Me souls who love Me in suffering, who find their joy on the Cross. My Heart thirsts for such a love, an unselfish love, an expiatory, crucified love, a sound love such as it may be said no longer exists on earth. Yet it is the only true love, the love which saves, purifies, and the love I require through My commandments. All other apparent loves do not satisfy Me; all other love is vain, artificial, often culpable, save the love which I have just shown you. — Diary p. 154. ​ My love is crucified, Lourdes Back

The Simple Path to Union with God Free book – USA only International orders View / Download Audio-Book – free E-Pub free Kindle The books are free, but any donation to Love Crucified to help spread this work & defray the cost of publishing & shipping is greatly appreciated. DONATIONS The Simple Path to Union with God is a practical, how-to-manual inspired by God to lead all people—priest, consecrated and lay faithful—to a true transformation of heart and into a more intimate union with Christ crucified. His desire is for us to be no longer two, but one in His sacrifice of love. ​ The Simple Path is the fruit of a journey that began when a simple, ordinary wife and mother responded with a “yes” to Christ’s invitation to be His victim soul. Her parish priest discerned the same call, which led to the foundation of Love Crucified Community. The Spirit led them to a new understanding of what a victim of love is and how to live it. This book encourages all souls to give their “yes” as one with Christ and Mary to this invitation. The remnant that responds becomes God’s “hidden force” that WILL pierce the darkness of Satan, raise up a holy transformed priesthood and usher in the New Pentecost with the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the Church and world! The Simple Path forms the saints of the end times to enter prepared the decisive battle. ​ St. Paul exclaims: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). ​ Jesus told us: "The greatest work of the Simple Path is leading souls into the deep of their own hearts to encounter Me. A soul’s obstacles to Me lie within the heart" The Simple Path to Union with God shows us how to live, in our ordinary lives, the joy St. Paul found in being “ONE” with the Victim, “Christ Crucified.” It is a path of transformation into the intimate love of God. ​ Souls who read this Simple Path with humble and docile hearts receive: The “wisdom of the Cross” which is “foolishness” to the world, but to all that receive this wisdom, the “power of God.” (1 Cor 1:17-18) The knowledge of how to “suffer with Christ” (Rom.8:17) the sufferings of their everyday, ordinary lives as the means to grow in an intimate relationship with Him. The understanding that suffering is a “treasured pearl” and the means to enter the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The GIFT of self-knowledge that leads to true repentance of the heart. The grace to enter their wounds and unite them to the wounds of Christ in order to be healed. They discover, in this process, that their wounds are a great treasure rather than a handicap! An understanding of how being a victim of love is the path to true freedom and happiness, as they become participants in the work of redemption. The understanding of how spiritual motherhood is part of God’s plan to restore the priesthood. Faith and hope, as the darkness of our times is explained through the approved apparitions of our Blessed Mother and the writings of the popes. God’s perfect plan of salvation is revealed. ​ — 453 pages ​

This cross represents our community: ​ ​ The Lord gave it to us in 2009 (year for priests), after we asked Him for it in prayer. The Cross represents Christ’s act of love by which He died to deliver us from sin and give us His life. Our vocation is to live by this love. ​ In the center is the chalice of the Precious Blood which purifies and gives life. All the baptized share in the royal priesthood. We unite our blood with the Blood of Christ at every Eucharist to be with Him victims of love, a living sacrifice offered to the Father for priests, families and for many. ​ The Precious Blood springs from the chalice as the blood and water that sprung from the pierced heart of Jesus. As we become one with Him, His promised is fulfilled: “If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said: 'Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.'” (John 7:37-38) ​ The chalice and the Blood together form an “M” that represents the Blessed Virgin Mary whose blood is one with Jesus’ and is the channel of all graces. The “M” also represents the Mothers of the Cross and the Missionaries of the Cross (women and men of the community) who with Mary embrace Jesus crucified. ​ The stole represents the priesthood of the baptized and the ministerial priesthood, which is nourished by the Precious Blood and the sacrificial offering of all the victims of love. ​ The Holy Spirit gives life and unity to all. “The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will cover you with His shadow” (Lk 1:35) With Mary and united in Community, we seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit and give glory to God with our lives. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ "As you wear the cross of the mission on your chest, you will receive immense graces." My Lord, do You desire the corpus on the cross? "No, because as you place the cross on, it is your body that is on the cross. As the Father gazes at each of you wearing this cross, He will see your body crucified on the cross." —5/4/10. Cross in St. Peter's–2010, year of priests Cross in Fatima–2017, centenary of apparitions The "M" for Mary on our cross is inspired by the "M" at entrance of the Chapel of the Most Precious Blood, Notre Dame du Laus, France. It was here in 2009 that Love Crucified received a special grace to become living chalices and consolidate the community in the Precious Blood with Mary. See history 🔗
