VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS
† We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You because by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world.
There are many souls who are moved by a desire of salvation. It is the inspiration of love for the vision of what I have suffered for them that they decide to follow Me on the path to Calvary. They embrace the perfect life and give themselves to My service. They help Me to carry not just a part of the Cross but all of it. Their only desire is to console Me and give Me rest. They surrender themselves to My Will, searching for anything that can please Me. They do not think about the merits or the reward that awaits them, nor do they consider the tiredness or the suffering that will follow. They only consider the love they can show Me, and the comfort they can give Me…
They accept with total submission the cross that presents itself as an illness. They also accept a cross that is hidden under a job contrary to their inclinations and of little agreement with their abilities. They also accept a cross of loneliness – a cross of the absence of people to surround them.
O! These are the souls that truly carry My Cross; they adore it. They take advantage of My Cross to glorify Me. They do this without any interest or payment other than My Love. They are the ones who are considerate of Me and glorify Me.
† Jesus, most obedient, meek and humble of heart, have mercy on us. |
