BOH Volume 4, Feb. 8, 1902
“My daughter, the first meaning of the Passion contains glory, praise, honor, thanksgiving, reparation for the Divinity.
The second is the salvation of souls and all the graces which are needed to obtain this purpose.
So, if one participates in the pains of my Passion, her life contains these very meanings within itself.
Not only this, but she takes the same form as my Humanity; and since my Humanity is united with the Divinity, the soul who participates in my pains is also in contact with the Divinity and can obtain whatever she wants. Even more, her pains are like keys to open the divine treasures.
This, for as long as she lives down here; and then a distinct glory is also reserved for her above the Heavens, which is given to her by my Humanity and Divinity, in such a way as to resemble my very light and glory; as well as a more special glory for the whole celestial Court, which will be given to It through this soul by means of that which I have communicated to her.
In fact, the more the souls have become like Me in the pains, the more light and glory will come out from within the Divinity; and here is how the whole Celestial Court participates in this glory.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My pretty little baby Jesus, pour Yourself out with me. Isn’t love the balm and the alleviation for all of your sorrows?
Isn’t love that which makes one forget everything, that sweetens everything and pacifies any dispute? If You cry, there must be something discordant between your love and that of the creatures, therefore let us love each other, give me your love, and I will love You with your own love.”
