EXTRACT #21
Look with what cruelty these hardened men surround Me. Some pull the Cross and lay it on the ground; others tear off My
clothes that adhere to the wounds that open again and blood oozes out.
EXTRACT #22
My daughter, you have heard and seen My sufferings, accompany Me till the end and share My pain.
EXTRACT #23
Holy Friday was followed by the glorious dawn of the Sunday of the Resurrection. If I have decided not to destroy the
world, it means that I want to renew it and rejuvenate it. The old trees need to lose their leaves and be pruned so that
they can give new sprouts. And the old branches, the dry leaves, are to be burned.
EXTRACT #24
I see My Son, trembling in the shadows of Gethsemane, coming down from Heaven and taking the shape and substance of My
creature, who thought and still thinks he can rebel against his Creator. The man, that lonely and confused man, is the
designated victim, and as such, with His own Blood, has had to cleanse all of humanity which He represents. He trembles
and is horrified at feeling Himself covered, even seeing Himself dominated, by the inconceivable mass of sins that had
to be taken from the darkened consciences of millions and millions of dirty creatures.
EXTRACT #25
Many prophets spoke about me: they prophesied that it was necessary for me to suffer to become worthy of being the
Mother of God. On earth they anticipated knowledge of me but it had to be in a very guarded way. Later the Evangelists
talked about me, especially Luke, my beloved physician - more of souls than of bodies. Afterwards some devotions were
started that had as a basis the sorrows and pains I suffered. And thus it is commonly believed and thought that I
experienced seven main sorrows.
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.
