How much value do we put into a promise?   A promise is a truth.   It is a part of our heart.    We find a hurt deeper than ever felt when ‘betrayed’.   Yet truth is not of value to some.   Indeed betrayal and the ‘broken promise’ has no merit to them.    With no morality in their hearts, there can be no moral fiber. Therefore a broken heart left behind is of no concern.   Their only concern is to their benefit.

A broken heart, because of a broken promise is a wound unrecognized, unappreciated!

Have you ever had a broken heart?   Was it because of betrayal?   Was it someone you  love, and still love?   It hurts like knife in the heart and bleeds unseen.

When we think about the “person JESUS” we do not reflect a great deal on the ‘broken promises’ HE endured.   Yet being ‘human’ in HIS divinity, HE felt ‘all’ we feel, and sees all we see, and more.

A broken heart, a pain unrecognized Is recognized by HIM!    This pain is HIS as well.  He was betrayed by HIS best friend!

John: chapter 13 verses 37-38

37)   “LORD,”  Peter said to him,   “Why can I not follow you now?   I will lay down my life for you!”   38)   “You  will lay down your life for me, will you?”   Jesus answered. “I tell you truly, the cock will not crow before you have three times disowned me!

Despite this piercing heart wrenching pain, JESUS forgave Peter.    He loved Peter so  much, HE  made Him the first “POPE” to His bride…His church…the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Was JESUS betrayed again?   Did he suffer another betrayal?   Who knows how many HE suffered.   We do not know how many we have endured.    If so, we pray that hurt will pass us by again.   Maybe so much so that HE went to hang on a cross to prove HIS love, even though so many did not and do not want to keep a promise.   A piercing knife cutting heartfelt pain unseen.

JESUS, though many do not know suffered 3 mortal wounds in his forehead.   HE was flogged and dressed as a mocked king; the wounds in the body were 1000.     Those who mocked HIM were 1008; and the drops of blood were 2840 and the blows to HIS body 5480.   Remembering He was human, HE suffered humanly.    Being divine HE understood the will of God the Father, namely, that He was to be one of us.    The ‘Holy Family’ here was to be His.   That brought about by the Heavenly Father.    So that we may believe.    Enabling and allowing us to recognize that God is  so in love with us He willed to suffer, live and die, as us.

The Divinity Our Lord has, did not deter Him from recognizing, pleasing His Father was more important than anything.

Promises are.   We encounter them.   We trust.   Our Most sorrowful Mother Mary trusted.   Trusting Gods promise.    Humility, sorrow, joy, anguish, and love.     God did not forget HIS promises.    Our Most Sorrowful Mother, crowned queen of heaven and earth.    Pleasing God is everything!    JESUS, and Our Most Blessed Sorrowful Mother.   In loving God first, all is through JESUS CHRIST!   HE shows us the way.

John: Chapter 14 verses 6- 7

6) JESUS told Him,   “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.

7) If you really knew me, you would know my Father also.   From this point on you know him; you have seen him.”
