Let us go on with this painful story, which you will manage to take to as many people as you can. I will enlighten you
in the way in which it should be done.
EXTRACT #12
Pilate ordered that they take Me to the presence of Herod... He was a poor corrupt man who only searched for pleasure,
allowing him to be driven to disorderly passions. He was glad to see Me come before his tribunal because he hoped to
amuse himself with My words and miracles.
EXTRACT #13
I allowed them to treat Me as a mad man and they covered Me with a white tunic as a sign of their ridicule and their
making fun of Me. Later, in the middle of furious mocking shouts, they took Me again before Pilate.
EXTRACT #14
Look at Me, My dear ones. Letting Myself be led with the meekness of a lamb to the terrible torture of the scourging. On
My Body, already covered with blows and overwhelmed with fatigue, the executioners cruelly discharge terrible lashes
with braided rope, with rods. I am punished with so much violence that that there was no part of Me which was not prey
to the most terrible pain. The blows and the kicks caused immeasurable wounds... The rods tore away pieces of My skin
and flesh. Blood oozed from all My members. Time after time I fell because of the pain caused by the blows to My
manliness. My Body was in such a state that I resembled a monster more than a man. The features of My face had lost
their shape; it was all swollen.
EXTRACT #15
I allowed them to treat Me as a mad man and they covered Me with a white tunic as a sign of their ridicule and their
making fun of Me. Later, in the middle of furious mocking shouts, they took Me again before Pilate.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Starting Monday, 05 March 2001, in the first week of Lent 2001, Scoop began publication of a series of daily
reflections on spiritual matters from Bolivian author Katya Rivas. Rivas, has received an official imprimatur from the
Catholic Church for several books she says she was instructed to write by Jesus Christ, Mary and various Angels. Scoop’s
extract, above, comes from Rivas’s book “The Passion”. In 1999 Katya Rivas was the subject of a top-rating documentary
show hosted by Mike Willessee (see Scoop TV review - Jesus Christ Tells FOXNews He Wants To Hug World and Scoop Images ). More recently Rivas says she was instructed by Jesus to have her books translated and published on the internet with
the intention of having the books distributed to as wide an audience as possible. Several of the books can now be read
online at http://www.greatcrusade.org/, and more are coming soon.
