Father Mark Mary: 我认为，耶稣并非被迫背负十字架，而是出于对天父旨意的顺从和爱，自由地接受并献出自己。当他看似无力、失控时，实际上他完全清楚自己在做什么以及为什么这样做。这体现在他对伯多禄说的话中，表明他自愿地献出自己。我深信，玛利亚也以同样的方式回应了耶稣的奉献。虽然我无法完全理解她的痛苦，但我相信她内心深处与耶稣一同说“父啊，愿你的旨意成全”。在拉斐尔的画作中，玛利亚的姿势既像是呼唤儿子，又像是将他奉献出去。她不仅仅是被动地接受，而是在精神上分担耶稣的痛苦，并以母亲的身份献出自己的儿子。这种奉献并非源于人类的力量，而是恩典的体现，是恩典使她有信心相信这是必经之路，并怀着希望保持沉默的赞同。是恩典促使她超越被动接受，在精神上分担耶稣的痛苦。耶稣和玛利亚都自由且完全地同意了这一奉献，这个“是”从未被收回，也从未动摇。当我们看到耶稣的身体为我们而献出，鲜血为我们而倾注时，不要忘记玛利亚，她的手伸向她的儿子，说，看，我身体的果实是为你而献出的，从我的血中流出的血是为你而倾注的。

Shownotes Transcript

Inspired by Raphael’s painting depicting the Carrying of the Cross, Fr. Mark-Mary focuses on the profound spiritual offering made by both Jesus and Mary. He emphasizes how Jesus willingly embraced his suffering out of love and obedience to the Father, and how Mary also offered her son with grace and faith. Their shared sacrifice is presented as an act of profound love and salvation. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Carrying of the Cross and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.

All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy).
