PROMISES OF JESUS TO THOSE WHO PRAY THE HOURS OF THE PASSION
To those who pray the Hours of the Passion, Jesus grants the same merits as if he himself were suffering his Passion.
Vol. 11, April 10, 1913
And I: "Tell me, my love, what will you give as a reward to those who pray the Hours of the Passion as you have taught me?"
And he: "My daughter, I will not see these Hours as your own, but as things done by me, and I will give them my own merits, as if I were actually suffering my Passion, and thus I will make them obtain the same effects, according to the disposition of their souls; this on earth, and for which I could not give them greater good. Then, in heaven, I will place these souls before me, shooting them with arrows of love and happiness, for as many times as they have prayed the Hours of my Passion, and they will also shoot me." What a sweet enchantment this will be for all the blessed!
If one who meditates on the Hours of the Passion does so together with Jesus and with His same Will, Jesus will give a soul for each word repeated, for the greater or lesser efficacy of these Hours of the Passion lies in the greater or lesser union we have with Jesus.

"My daughter, as a reward for having written them, for each word you have written, I will give you a soul, a kiss."
And I: "My Love, this is for me; and to those who do them, what will you give them?"
And Jesus: "If they do them together with me and with my same Will, for each word they repeat, I will give them a soul, because the greater or lesser efficacy of these Hours of my Passion lies in the greater or lesser union they have with me." And by doing them with my Will, the creature hides in my Will, and by working my Will I can do all the good I want, even by means of a single word. And this, every time you do them.
