December 15, 1905 – Jesus wanted to be crucified and
lifted up on the cross, so that, if they want Him, souls may
find Him.
Continuing in my usual state, I was thinking about
the Passion of blessed Jesus; and He, making himself seen
crucified, shared with me a little bit of His pains, telling
me: “My daughter, I wanted to be crucified and lifted up on
the Cross, so that, if they want Me, souls may find Me. So,
someone wants Me as Teacher for he feels the necessity to be
instructed, and I lower Myself to teach him both the small
things and the highest and most sublime, such as to make of
him the most learned. Another moans in abandonment, in
oblivion; he would like to find a father, he comes to the foot of
my Cross, and I make Myself Father, giving him a home in my
wounds, my Blood as drink, my Flesh as food, and my very
Kingdom as inheritance.
Another one is infirm, and he finds
Me as Doctor who, not only heals him, but gives him the sure
remedies in order not to fall again into infirmities. Another
one is oppressed by calumnies, by scorns, and at the foot of
my Cross he finds his Defender, to the point of rendering
calumnies and scorns back to him as divine honors; and so
with all the rest. So, whoever wants Me as Judge finds Me as
Judge; whoever wants Me as Friend, as Spouse, as Advocate,
as Priest… such do they find Me. This is why I wanted to
be nailed, hands and feet: to oppose nothing of what they
want – to make Myself as they want Me. But woe to those
who, seeing that I am unable to move even one finger, dare
to offend Me.”
While He was saying this, I said:
‘Lord, who are those that offend You the most?’
And He added: “Thosewho make Me suffer the most are the religious who, living in my Humanity, torment and lacerate my flesh within my very Humanity; while one who lives outside of my Humanity lacerates Me from afar.
