“Ill-treated and afflicted, He never opened His mouth, like a lamb led to the slaughter house, like a sheep dumb before its shearers He never opened His mouth.” Isaiah 53:7
If we carefully study the sufferings of Jesus, we will find that Jesus did not utter a single word of the slightest complaint. In silence, Jesus faced the accusations levelled against Him and the tremendous hatred He experienced. Even today, in the Eucharist, our Lord is a silent sufferer of our ingratitude and coldness towards Him - but still His love for us remains the same.
