Jesus Is Taken to Prison
Extract 12
Jesus
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.
Consider, My children, the repulsion that I felt in the presence of the most repulsive of men, whose words, questions,
and affected gestures covered Me with confusion. Pure and virginal souls, come to surround and defend your Spouse.
Herod expects Me to answer his sarcastic questions but I do not utter a word; I keep the most absolute silence before
him. Not answering was the greatest proof of My dignity that I could give him. His obscene words were not worthy to
cross with My pure ones. In the meantime, My Heart was infinitely united to My Heavenly Father. I was consumed with
desire to give up even the last drop of My Blood for souls. The thought of every man, who later would follow Me,
conquered by My example and generosity, ignited Me in love and, not only did I enjoy that terrible interrogation but I
wanted to run to the torture of the Cross.
