Katya Rivas' Passion : The Passion ( Begins )
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.
Thus, day-by-day we shall be uniting ourselves in our secret of love. A tiny spark and then a great flame… Only the real Love is not loved today! Make Love be loved! But before that, pray little daughter, pray a lot for the consecrated souls who have lost their enthusiasm and happiness in the service. Pray also for those priests who accomplish that miracle of miracles on the altar and whose faith is weak.
Lose yourself in Me like a drop of water in the
ocean… When I created you, I kissed your forehead signing
you with the sign of My predilection. Look for souls,
because there are few who love Me; look for souls and
imprint in their minds the vision of the pain in which I
consumed Myself. Men, without knowing it, are about to
receive great gifts.
When you do what I ask, I am near
you; it is as if you quench that flaming thirst which on the
Cross dried even My lips.
I will make Myself present each time that you invoke My Passion with love. I will permit you to live united to Me in the pain that I experienced in Gethsemane when I knew the sins of all men.
Be conscious of that, because I call few creatures to this type of Passion, but none of them understand the predilection I have placed on them by associating them to Me in the most painful hour of My earthly life.

Katya Rivas' Passion : The Last Supper
Extract 2
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.
I embrace all the souls that come to Me
because I came to Earth to expand the Love in which I
embrace them. And since love does not grow without sorrows;
little by little I take away the sweetness, to leave the
souls in dryness. Thus, they fast from their own joy to make
them understand that their focus should be on another
desire: Mine.
Why do you talk about dryness as if it were
a sign of a diminishing of My Love? Have you forgotten that
if I do not give happiness, you must taste your dryness and
other sorrows?
Come to Me, souls, but know that it is
only I who wills everything and who incites you to look for
Me. If you only knew how much I appreciate unselfish love
and how it will be acknowledged in Heaven! O, how the soul
who possesses it shall rejoice!
Learn from Me, dear
souls, to love only to please the One who loves you… You
shall have sweetness, and much more than what you leave; you
shall enjoy so much of whatever I have made you capable. It
is I who prepared the Banquet. I am the nourishment! How
then, can I let you sit at My table and let you fast? I
promised you that whoever feeds on Me shall not go hungry
again… I serve Myself as these things to reveal My Love to
you. Listen to what My priests say, for they use this
Paschal feast to lead you to Me, but do not stop at that
which is human, otherwise, you shall nullify the other
purpose of this feast.
Nobody can say that My Supper has
become their nourishment when they only experience
sweetness… For Me, love grows in as much as they deny
themselves.
Many priests are so because I wanted to make
them My ministers, not because they truly follow Me… Pray
for them! They should offer My Father the sorrow that I felt
when in the Temple I knocked down the benches of the
merchants and I reproached the ministers of that time for
having turned the house of God into an assembly of
moneymakers.
When they asked Me under what authority had
I done that, I felt an even greater sorrow in proving that
the worst denial of My Mission came precisely from My
ministers.
For that reason, pray for the priests that
treat My Body with a sense of habit and, therefore, with
very little love.
You will soon know that I had to tell
you this because I love you and because I promise the
remission of all temporal punishment owed those who pray for
My priests. There shall be no Purgatory for those who grieve
for the lukewarm priests, but rather they will go to
Paradise immediately after their last breath.
And now,
let Me embrace you again in order for you to receive the
life that I, with infinite joy, made you part of.
That
night with infinite Love, I washed the feet of My Apostles
because it was the culminating moment in which to present My
Church to the world.
I wanted My souls to know that even
when they may be weighted down with the greatest sins, they
are not excluded from graces. They are with My most faithful
souls; they are in My Heart receiving the graces that they
need.
I felt such sorrow at that moment knowing that,
represented in Judas, My Apostle, there were so many souls
gathered at My feet and cleansed so many times with My
Blood, yet they were to be lost! At that moment, I wanted to
teach sinners that just because they have sinned, they
should not distance themselves from Me thinking that there
is no recourse and that they will never be loved as much as
before they sinned. Poor souls! These are not the feelings
of a God who has poured out all His Blood for you. Come to
Me all of you and do not be afraid, because I love you. I
shall cleanse you with My Blood and you shall be as white as
snow. I shall drown your sins in the water of My Mercy and
nothing will be able to snatch from My Heart the Love that I
have for you.
My beloved, I have not chosen you in vain,
respond to My election with generosity. Be faithful and firm
in the faith. Be meek and humble so that others may know the
greatness of My humility.

Katya Rivas' Passion : Jesus Prepares Himself
Extract 3
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.
Nevertheless, I had to do My
duty, the Divine Mission. I had to first leave My seed and
die later. How sad this is, looking at it from the human
point of view!
I was also a man and felt sadness and
anguish. I found Myself very alone! I mortified My Body by
fasting and My Spirit by prayer. I prayed for all humanity
that would deny Me, that would sacrifice Me so many
times…
I was tempted as any other mortal, and Satan was
never more curious to know who the man was that remained in
such loneliness and abandonment.
Think about everything
that I had to go through to save man, to be able to reign in
his heart, to make possible his entrance into My Father’s
Kingdom.
