Jesus in the Mysteries of the Rosary

Sorrowful Mysteries
- Death on the Cross
We have reached the "culmination" of Jesus' life. That "dramatic ending" on the Skull Hill (the name of the place says it all!) was not improvised: although it may seem unbelievable, God had already "foreseen" it before the creation of the world (another mystery!).
St. Paul - who was putting in writing the tradition he was being instructed in - is totally explicit: "God, in Him [Jesus Christ], chose us before the creation of the world (...), through his blood" (Eph 1:3-4,7) (we have shortened the quote, probably diminishing its impact). This is how the Father in Heaven has blessed us: through the Blood of his Son!
When Jesus is "taken down" and "laid" in the lap of his (our) Mother, he no longer has any Blood: he has shed ALL of it for our eternal happiness (Read more: "When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, ‘It is finished.’ And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit").
