How the Sacred Week 2019 was lived in Aurora

From April 14 to 21, 2019, a very special event took place at the Community of Figueira, which was followed from Aurora: the deepening in the acts of the Passion of Our Lord, allowing to internalize what Christ lived and suffered out of love for humanity.

During that week, there was an active participation of pilgrims and devotees, around one hundred people, between monastery and community, gathered and prayed, sang and cried out to the Lord during the daily liturgies. Each morning everyone were invited to do the Spiritual Trilogy of Prayer and the contemplation to the image of the Merciful Christ, as a preparation for the coming of the Master, Who each afternoon transmitted His Words to the visionary Friar Elías del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús in His Apparitions at the Marian Center of Figueira, which were transmitted through Mercy Mary TV.

All of the sacred spots of the Marian Center were filled by the prayer and devotion of the pilgrims that, with reverence, allowed themselves to be permeated by the silence and peace that Aurora radiated. Day after day, we were submerged more into the sacred Steps of Christ, loving and revering His Passion and, in an almost spontaneous and natural way, solemnity permeated all of the beautiful Aurora. The feeling of gratitude was what each being experienced in common during the Sacred Week.

A young collaborator of the Marian Center, who participated in the activities, tells us her experience:

The sanctity was felt during these days. The Christic Light transcended every physical distance and was felt with all of Its potential in Aurora´s ground. There were days of reverence, depth and gratitude. A state of inner retreat and fraternity was perceived as well as the joy of being, once more, so close to God, always wishing for more souls to feel the same.

Every year, at this time, Our Lord, invites us to enter into this divine mystery that was His Sacred Passion, taking us, through prayer and reflection, to experience the unity, brotherhood, peace and love that Our Lord teaches us from each act He lived.

A before and after was marked in each heart that experienced this proposal at the Marian Center of Aurora, hearts that will take the Presence of Jesus with them in order to give it to whom needs it the most.
