How did Blessed Alphonse Marie meditate on the crown of thorns?
She says, “The best way on how to prepare for meditation is to stand in God’s presence and talk as a child: ´My Jesus, I am impelled to meditate on this mystery, but, how can I handle it without your extraordinary grace, help, and support? Look, how poor and weak I am! Say to my heart just one word. Show me Your will. If only I could engrave deep into my heart my resolutions. I am not able to do it; you must do it instead of me, my Jesus. Have mercy on me!´”
