In this talk, we come to understand the importance of preparing ourselves to embrace, and even come to desire, the tribulations of our lives as opportunities to grow in deeper union with the love of the Most Holy Trinity. As Christ desolations on the Cross brought forth the great fruit of salvation; we too in our desolations, like a woman in labor pains, can bring forth the joy of new life. The union of sorrows draws us into the union of love! LABOR OF LOVE 1st Nail of Crucifixion Purifying our Desires –Desiring Desolations Lourdes Pinto, Cenacle 5/28/20 “Very truly, I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will have pain, but your pain will turn into joy. 21 When a woman is in labor, she has pain because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.” (John 16:20-21) Our human desires and expectations are: ·      To live our life on earth without desolations, pains, sorrows, sufferings. ·      To expect to live in consolations ·      This is a LIE – a deception of Satan God’s desire is to draw each of us to union with Him through our union of sorrows with Christ. How to Respond to Christ’s Desire for Unity —#87. Diary of a MOC. I desire to draw you into true unity, the unity of the love of the Most Holy Trinity. The union of sorrows will bring you into the union of Love… Jesus compares the life of His followers to a woman in labor pains. The labor contractions are a wave of highs and lows.  The contractions peak =–pain. But then they come down = rest. Our life on earth is meant to be lived in desolations and consolations. During labor, it is the painful contractions (desolations) that bring forth the child's birth. It is the mother’s love in her willingness to endure the pain that brings forth new life. This also applies to life; it is mainly in the times of desolations that we are purified, grow in virtue, come to know the goodness of God and to know ourselves, and grow in dependence and trust in God. It is in times of desolation that we are able to prove our love for God. The desolations lived in union with Christ, with trust and hope, bring forth a new creation in us, but also, it is the means to bring new life to others.  Desolation United to Me —#69. Diary of a MOC. p.210 In times of desolation, your life has the greatest power and is most fecund. In My desolation on the Cross, My life shone most brilliantly the love of God the Father. My desolation made My faith in My Father radiate its perfection.  -Through My desolation, I gave birth to My Church and all her sacraments.  -Through My desolation, I gave birth to all My sons, My priests.  -Through My desolation, the Holy Spirit expanded the maternal Heart of My Mother to embrace all of humanity. -It is in your times of desolation that the Holy Spirit and My Mother wish to unite you more intimately to Me.  -It is in your times of desolation that you are given the opportunity and grace to suffer with Me.  -It is through your desolation that you can come to know the pain, suffering, and love of My Heart.  -It is through your desolation united to Mine that your life will also be most fecund. My desolation was so important for the salvation of the world that the Father willed for My Mother to continue suffering My desolation on earth. Her suffering of solitude was her continuation of My desolation, and it produced and continues to produce a shower of graces for the world.  I desire for the souls who love Me to live their times of desolation united to Me and completely abandoned to the Holy Spirit. In this way, My hidden force will acquire the power of God to overcome the darkness in the world. My Cross is not My
