INTRODUCTION: These Meditative Lessons on the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary which encompass the Passion and Death of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ were imparted via both interior visions and interior locutions to Cyndi Cain, the Hidden Flower of the Immaculate Heart from the Blessed Mother of God during Lent in 1993. Cyndi relates that, "while I saw many details in these interior visions, only certain details were to be written down. Therefore, these lessons are not meant to be a detailed geographical or historical account, nor are they meant to pinpoint all the intricate details one might wish to have knowledge of regarding the Passion of Our Lord...for the importance of each lesson lies not in the descriptive passage or dialogue, but in Our Lady's own meditations which follow each interior vision. These meditations are meant to strengthen us in our faith during this our exile - particularly in these end times when the Holy Catholic Church will be ripped apart by apostasy and schism...for Our Blessed Mother wants our faith to be as strong as an anchor. For our faith to be such, we must have the faith of a simple, little child." During Lent we bring these to you and ask the Holy Spirit to give all the enlightenment and discernment to learn and grow from these meditative lessons that all may persevere in the time of the Great Darkness which looms ever closer.

      Judas, after his betrayal of my Divine Son, was permitted by God to see the hideousness of his deed. Satan laughed and mocked as Judas saw himself as God saw him. But also, at that same time, the Father, preventing Lucifer from absolute control, allowed Judas’ soul and mind to hear the prayers, the pleas of Jesus and of me, His Holy Mother.

      Because of this Judas, by a single act of will, could yet have broken satan’s bonds and run instead to the condemned Lamb and received forgiveness. But his pride was so entrenched, so totally under Lucifer’s control that the prayers of my Divine Son became for him a burning, torturing fire that shut out God’s Light and enclosed him in the eternal darkness of Lucifer.

      He truly was driven mad by the demon. He had willed to let satan enter him, use him, and when he rejected the last chance of divine forgiveness, he was easy prey for satan to drive to despair, to suicide.

      Little children of my Immaculate Heart, all men sin. All men are in need of forgiveness which strengthens by making the soul contrite, the heart repentant and the human will surrender to God. When you reject God’s Sacrament of Penance, when you listen to the evil one’s lies that hell doesn’t exist and, therefore, sin does not exist, you are headed in the same direction as Judas.

      That is why, in these end times, I implore you to pray from the heart because from the heart satan cannot speak to you h is lies. I ask you to meditate upon Judas, upon his own will, which, so filled with pride, led him to deicide, to despair, and suicide. Meditate upon the continual prayers raised to Heaven for Judas by my tortured Son, and realize that had the Father permitted, my Divine Son would have suffered over and over if Judas would have converted his heart.

      Judas’ heart was rotten flesh, maggot-eaten and filled with filth. This Judas wanted and allowed.

      Do not, my Little Ones, ever consider yourselves strong, fully-prepared. Rather be humble and meek, seeking only God and His holy will. Then in these end times, my Dear Children, you shall not be driven into the abyss, but be with me at the foot of my Son’s Cross where His Sacred Heart was pierced, opened for all the world.

      Pray that in these end times you shall not be counted among the Judases, but be gathered beneath my Immaculate Mantle, secure in the refuge of my Son’s Heart.

      You must pray! You must do penance. You must root out all pride, for pride is the sure path to hell!
