GRM 134

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Healing for Marianne, a dying mother who has given life to six children. She has a breast disease (perhaps cancer?). Jesus comes to heal her, because her mother-in-law has gone to find Jesus at Belle-Eau, at the end of EMV 131. At the end, Christ asks Judas to buy them food for the next few days, as they are very poor. Judas then asks him to give some of his own money, because he is becoming good and wants to get rid of his fascination with money.

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

In Bethany, we celebrate the Feast of the Encenias - also known as the Feast of Light or the Feast of Dedication. It's Jesus' first birthday without his Mother. Christ wanders through the garden, listening to a nightingale. Then, after blessing the Father for this song, he spends some time with Simon, telling him about Heaven and the places there for the various saints and blessed. Then Martha arrives, grieving because Mary Magdalene has recently left, and she wanted to leave this "tomb" to return to her joys. They go to table and are joined by the shepherds from Bethlehem, which consoles Jesus for his Mother's absence. After the Lord has thanked Lazarus and Martha, being delicate enough to evoke Mary Magdalene and console Martha, they come to speak of the Infancy Gospel: from the Immaculate Conception, to his Presentation in the Temple, his betrothal to Joseph, the Nativity, the Flight into Egypt, the return to Galilee, the recovery in the Temple. Finally, Peter wants to remember all this, but is afraid he won't be able to: Matthew assures him he has a good memory and will tell him. Finally, Peter wishes to die while uttering the name of Jesus, and Jesus confirms that this will happen.
