The Lord seems to be teaching me more about “la Soledad” as I contemplate Him in the Eucharist. I understand Jesus’ life in the Eucharist as a continuation, a continuous now, of His sacrifice of love on the Cross. He has remained fully present in the Eucharist so that His sacrifice of love is always present in each moment. Jesus was obedient to the Cross. He chose TO REMAIN, in silence, in “la Soledad,” in total pain and anguish, nailed to the Cross. He is God, All-Powerful, All-Mighty. He could have come off the Cross if He had willed it. He didn’t because He chose to love us with all His passion—to lay down His life for us VOLUNTARILY so that we could become a new creation in the image and likeness of God and live for eternity in the embrace of the perfect love of the Most Holy Trinity.

Mary is ONE HEART with Jesus. Through Jesus’ sacrifice of love and Mary’s perfect union to His sacrifice of love, the Two Hearts become ONE—Suffer all with Me no longer two but one in My sacrifice of love. Therefore, Mary enters “la Soledad” after Jesus’ Ascension. She is a “living Host”—One with The Living Host; thus, Mary also lives “la Soledad” in perfect union with her Son/Spouse’s Soledad in the Eucharist. This is why Blessed Conchita explains “la Soledad” as a fruit of the mystical incarnation.

“La Soledad” is a state of a soul who chooses TO REMAIN united to Jesus’ agony for souls, as His companion of love, solely for Love.

Mary, with the Holy Spirit, wishes to bring each of us into this perfect union with Jesus; that is why she presented us with two roses: the red (martyrdom) and the white (purity). As we grow in pure suffering, we grow in pure love. Through pure suffering as one with Christ, we are transformed into Christ—into Love. That is why Mary brought the two roses together and made them ONE. They also represent Jesus’ red martyrdom and Mary’s white martyrdom as ONE.
