MARY TOOK CARE WITH LOVE THAT NOT EVEN A DROP OF JESUS' BLOOD WAS LOST, WHEREAS NOW PRIESTS GIVE COMMUNION IN THE HAND AND CONSECRATED PARTICLES FALL TO THE GROUND


THE VIRGIN MARY DURING THE SCOURGING OF HER SON JESUS CHRIST, ACCORDING TO THE VISIONS AND REVELATIONS OF BLESSED ANNE CATHERINE EMMERICH:

"I saw the Blessed Virgin, during the scourging of our Redeemer, in a state of uninterrupted ecstasy. Mary saw her lacerated Son driven past her by the executioners. With His garment He wiped the blood from His eyes in order to see His Mother. She raised her hands in agony toward Him and gazed upon His bloodstained footprints. Then, as the mob moved over to another side, I saw the Blessed Vir¬gin and Magdalen approaching the place of the scourg¬ing. Surrounded and hidden by the other holy women and some well-disposed people standing by, they cast themselves on their knees and soaked up the sacred Blood of Jesus with the linens until not a trace of it could be found."

This scene was represented by Mel Gibson in his film THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST.
