A huge crowd of people followed along with women weeping and carrying on. At one point Jesus turned to the women and said "Daughters of Jerusalem, don't cry for me. Cry for yourselves and for your children. The time is coming when they'll say, 'Lucky the women who never conceived! Lucky the wombs that never gave birth! Lucky the breasts that never gave milk!' Then they 'll start calling to the mountains, 'Fall down on us!' calling to the hills, 'Cover us up!' Ifpeople do these things to a live, green tree, can you imagine what they'll do with deadwood?"

Luke 13:27-31

Adore the Lord God with a clean heart and a pure mind; that is what he wants above all else.
Let us always make a home and dwelling place there for him who is the Lord God Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who says: Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.

The tears of the suffering Christ inebriated her, and her memory often called to her him who love had impressed so deeply on her heart. She taught the sisters to lament Christ crucified, and what she thus taught by words she showed forth in her life. For often when she was leading them to pray in secret for these things she would give way to tears before she began to speak.
