So Judas took the morsel and left at once. And it was night. When he had left, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once.” (Today’s Gospel)
Just as Jesus was betrayed, then suffered, died and rose again in glory, so too, the Church will follow her Lord in like manner.
Lord Jesus, you foretold that we would share in the persecutions that brought you to a violent death. The Church formed at the cost of your precious blood is even now conformed to your Passion; may it be transformed, now and eternally, by the power of your resurrection. —Psalm-prayer, Liturgy of the Hours, Vol III, p. 1213
Yes, there will be a betrayal in the Church; she is corporately entering her own “night” too. But then, there is also a resurrection for the Church coming when “God will be glorified in him,” that is, in Jesus’ mystical Body, which is the Church. Thus, we will share in both the suffering and glory of the Head. And what is this glory, this resurrection that the Church will share?
…he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him… (Phil 2:8-9)
By His obedience, Jesus redeemed our fallen human will by perfectly uniting His human will with His Divine Will and nailing it to the Tree. Thus, by His resurrection, the glory that Christ has merited for the Church is the lost dignity and rights that Adam once had to co-operate in the perfection of creation: what is called the “gift of living in the Divine Will” (as opposed to just “doing” God’s will).
Living in the Divine Will… bequeaths to the soul on earth the same interior union with God’s Will as enjoyed by the saints in Heaven. —Rev. Joseph Iannuzzi, “Manual for Clergy and Laity” in The Divine Will Prayer Book, p. 699
For the mysteries of Jesus are not yet completely perfected and fulfilled. They are complete, indeed, in the person of Jesus, but not in us, who are his members, nor in the Church, which is his mystical body. —St. John Eudes, treatise “On the Kingdom of Jesus”, Liturgy of the Hours, Vol IV, p 559
This is why “creation is groaning in labor pains even until now,” said St. Paul, as it “awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God.” [1]Rom 8:22, 19 That is, creation is awaiting those who will take up again the work of Adam that has been restored through Jesus Christ, and bring it to completion “through Him, with Him, and in Him.”[2]Eucharistic Prayer
…in the work of salvation, Christ sets creation free from sin and death to consecrate it anew and make it return to the Father, for his glory. —Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 2637
As the Passion of the Church nears its “night,” let us keep our eyes fixed, not on the betrayals of Judas or the denials of Peter that are nigh, but upon the glory that is coming and put on the mind of Christ…
…while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith. For the sake of the joy that lay before him he endured the cross, despising its shame, and has taken his seat at the right of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2)
To understand more about the difference between “doing” the will of God and “living in the Divine Will,” read The Single Will and True Sonship. To understand more about the coming glory of the Church, read The Resurrection of the Church and The Coming New and Divine Holiness by Mark Mallett at “The Now Word”.

Through what became The Spiritual Diary, Jesus and Mary taught Elizabeth, and they continue to instruct the faithful in the divine art of suffering for the salvation of souls. Tasks are assigned for each day of the week, which involve prayer, fasting, and night vigils, with beautiful promises attached to them, laced with special graces for priests and the souls in purgatory. In their messages, Jesus and Mary say that The Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is the greatest grace given to mankind since the Incarnation. And in the not-so-distant future, her flame will engulf the entire world.

Thirdly, the messages have frequently been accompanied by visible phenomena, photographic evidence found in In Cammino con Maria, which cannot be the fruit of subjective imagination, notably the presence of the stigmata on Giselle’s body and and the appearance of crosses or religious texts in blood on Gisella’s arms.

of the saints. It wasn’t until she became a “Daughter of Mary” that the nightmares finally ceased at the age of eleven. In the following year, Jesus began to speak interiorly to her especially after receiving Holy Communion. When she was thirteen, He appeared to her in a vision that she witnessed from the balcony of her home. There, in the street below, she saw a crowd and armed soldiers leading three prisoners; she recognized Jesus as one of them. When He arrived beneath her balcony, He raised his head and cried out: “Soul, help Me!” Deeply moved, Luisa offered herself from that day on as a victim soul in expiation for the sins of mankind.
immobile, rigid-like state that appeared almost as if she were dead. It was only when a priest made the sign of the Cross over her body that Luisa regained her faculties. This remarkable mystical state persisted until her death in 1947—followed by a funeral that was no little affair. During that period in her life, she suffered no physical illness (until she succumbed to pneumonia at the end) and she never experienced bedsores, despite being confined to her little bed for sixty-four years.
