The Passion Of Jesus Christ – Holy Week Recap
Extracts #21 Through #25
***************
Jesus Is Nailed to the Cross
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.
Look, beloved children, at how much shame and confusion I suffer seeing Myself this way before that immense mob…. What
pain for My soul!
The executioners tear off My tunic and toss lots for it; this tunic with which My Mother covered Me with so much care
during My childhood, and had grown in size as I had. What would be My Mother’s sorrow as she contemplates this scene?
How she would have desired to keep that tunic, now stained and soaked with My Blood.
***************
Jesus Pronounces His Last Words
Extract #22
My daughter, you have heard and seen My sufferings, accompany Me till the end and share My pain.
My Cross is now raised. Here is the hour of the Redemption of the world!
I am the spectacle of jeers for the mob… but I am also admired and loved by the souls. This Cross, up to now an
instrument of torture where criminals expired, is going to be, from now on, the light and peace of the world.
Sinners will find forgiveness and life in My Holy Scriptures. My Blood will wash and erase the stains of their sins. The
pure souls will come to My Sacred Wounds to refresh themselves and to burn in My Love. In them they will take refuge and
will make their dwelling forever.
***************
The Resurrection of Jesus
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.
Separate the young goats from the lambs, so that they can find ready and well prepared fertile pastures where they can
appease their taste and drink from the clean fountains of water of Salvation… It is My redeeming Blood that waters the
arid lands that have become the deserts of the world of souls. And this Blood will always run over the earth as long as
there is one man to save.
Beloved spouse, I desire what you do not want, but I can do what you could not obtain. Your mission is to have Me loved
by souls, and to teach them to live with Me. I have not died on the Cross, and gone through a thousand tortures to
populate Hell with souls, but rather, to populate Heaven with chosen ones.
***************
God The Father
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.
Poor Son of Mine, Love has taken You to this and now you are frightened by it. Who should Glorify You in Heaven when,
radiantly, you come back to it? Can any creature give You praise worthy of You, love worthy of You? And what is the
praise and love of man, of millions of men, in comparison with the Love in which You have accepted the most tremendous
of tests that could ever exist on earth? No, My beloved Son, nobody but Your Father could equal You in Love, nobody but
I, who in My Spirit of Love, can praise and Love You for Your sacrifice that night.
***************
The Blessed Mother
The Sorrows of the Virgin Mary
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.
My children, your Mother has rewarded and will reward the efforts and love that you have had for me. But as Jesus did, I
want to talk to you more extensively about my sorrows. Then, you will talk to your brethren about them, and at last
everyone will imitate Me. Because of what I suffered, I am continuously praising Jesus and seek nothing but only that He
be glorified in me.
See, little children, it is sad to talk about these things to my own children, because every mother keeps her sorrows to
herself. And this I dutifully did in the course of my mortal life; therefore, my wish as a mother has been respected by
God. Now that I am here, where the smile is eternal, and having, as all mothers, already concealed the sorrows that I
experienced, I should talk about them so that as my children you may know something about my life.
