Via Dolorosa - The route, the way, the passage!

Via Dolorosa is a street in old Jerusalem where Jesus walked trough His way to His crucification. The meaning in Portuguese is the same as Latin, VIA is the route, the way, the passage, DOLOROSA is the suffering, the painful path where GOD is showing how loves us.
Jesus followers at first had great difficulty to understand Jesus Passion and today thousands continue to do not understand. The power, all the human sentiments that can glorify a person only for his glorification means nothing to GOD's eyes and it is a brief personification only to human eyes and to our societies. Jesus,  the most valuable person that lived in our world died at human hands, the fear and ignorance from the responsible for Jesus's crucification are the same that across centuries and today don't follow and understand Jesus messages and His love.

Today I invite you to close your eyes only for a miserable 14 minutes and do in your mind and heart the stations of the cross, be humble, today more than ever and today is the right timing for you to forgive all the people that are hurting you, persecuting you, offending you and don't lose your trust in God and Jesus no matter what they are doing to you.

I will close this post with this message "Don't judge others by their appearance" you can see giants with  golden heart, don't be afraid of them and beware the wolves in sheep's clothing.

Anna Katharina Emmerich and her Visions / Ana Catarina Emmerich e suas Visões

The story of  Anna Emmerich it is very simple like their life was. Born 7th September 1774, very soon showed her calling to go to a convent, but even to fulfill her dream, it was not easy. But this post it is more to talk about her Visions about Jesus and Mary.

Her Visions are remarkable Jesus images and all what was around Him in very important timings and Anna vision are strong enough for us to understand better all suffering of Jesus and Mary.

Controversial of Course, all Catholics must guide their readings according Vatican approvals and the Bible it is the first to read but I do not see in the writings that others did following Anna sentences to do not recommend that all Christians should read it.

THE DOLOROUS (SORROWFUL) PASSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

A História de Anna Emmerich é simples assim como foi a sua vida. Nasce a 7 de Setembro de 1774 e muito cedo tem o chamamento para seguir a via religiosa e ir para um convento, mas até para que se cumprisse o seu sonho e chamamento, não foi tarefa nada fácil. Mas este Post é mais para falar das suas Visões de Jesus e Maria.

As suas Visões são imagens marcantes de Jesus e de tudo o que se passava à volta Dele em importantes passagens e com as visões de Anna conseguimos perceber melhor todo o sofrimento de Jesus e Maria.

Sendo escritos controversos, todos os Católicos devem ler somente leituras de acordo com a aprovação do Vaticano e a Bíblia é a primeira leitura de todas, mas eu não vejo nos escritos que outros escreveram de acordo com as palavras de Anna para não deixar de recomendar a todos os Cristãos a sua leitura.
