The Passion
Extract 1
Jesus
My little daughter, let yourself be embraced by My most ardent desire that all souls come and purify themselves in the
water of penance, and that the feeling of confidence, and not fear, may penetrate them, because I am a God of Mercy and
I am always ready to receive them in My Heart.

The Passion: Jesus Prepares Himself
Extract 2
Jesus
There are souls who consider My Passion, but very few who think about My preparation for My public life: My loneliness!
The forty days which I spent by the side of the hill were the most distressing hours of My life because I spent them
completely alone, preparing My Spirit for that which would come. I suffered hunger, thirst, discouragement, and
bitterness. I knew that for those people My sacrifice would be useless, for they would deny Me. In that solitude I
understood that neither My new doctrine nor My sacrifices and miracles could save the Jewish people who would become
God-slayers.
***********
The Passion: The Last Supper
Extract 3
Jesus
Now let us go to the story of My Passion… The story that shall give glory to the Father and holiness to other chosen
souls…
The night before I was betrayed was a night full of joy because of the Paschal Supper, the inauguration of the Eternal
Banquet at which human beings must sit to feed themselves of Me.
If I were to ask Christians, “What do you think of this Supper,” surely many would say that it is the place of their
delight but few would say that it is My delight… There are souls who take Communion, not for the joy that they
experience but for the joy that I feel; they are few because the rest only come to Me to ask for gifts and favors.
***********
The Passion: Jesus Prays in the Garden
Extract 4
Jesus
Nobody really believes that I perspired blood that night at Gethsemane, and few believe that I suffered much more in
those hours than in the Crucifixion. It was more painful because it was clearly revealed to Me that the sins of everyone
were made Mine and that I should answer for each one. Thus I, being innocent and pure, answered to the Father as if I
were really guilty of dishonesty and of all the impurities committed by you, My brothers. You dishonor God who created
you to be instruments of the greatness of Creation and not to stray from the nature given you with the purpose of
gradually taking that nature to lead you to behold the pure vision of Me, your Creator.
***********
The Passion: Jesus Institutes the Holy Eucharist
Extract 5
Jesus
The desire that all souls be clean when they receive Me in the Sacrament of Love, led Me to wash the feet of My
Apostles. I also did it to represent the Sacrament of Penance, in which the souls that have had the misfortune of
falling into sin, can wash themselves and regain their lost purity.
By washing their feet, I wanted to teach the souls that have apostolic tasks to humble themselves and treat with
tenderness the sinners and all the souls who have been entrusted to them.
I wrapped Myself in a cloth to teach them that, in order to be successful with souls, one has to girdle oneself with
mortification and self-denial.
