JOHN 19: 26 – 27

“When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, here is your son.’ Then he said to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.”

The Queen of Heaven goes around through all the nations in order to bring her children to safety.

So after this, I continued to think about the Divine Will, and I prayed that It would hurry, and that with Its Omnipotence that can do everything, It would conquer all the obstacles and would make His Kingdom come and that His Will would Reign on earth as It does in Heaven.

But while I thought this, before my mind, my sweet Jesus made seen so many mournful and horrifying things, before which the hardest hearts were shaken, and the most obstinate knocked down. Everything was terror and fright. I remained so afflicted as to feel myself dying, and I prayed that He would spare so many scourges.

And my beloved Jesus as if he had pity on my affliction said to me: “My daughter courage, everything will serve to the triumph of my Will, if I strike it is because I want to heal. My love is so much, that when I cannot conquer by way of love and graces, I seek to conquer by way of terror and fright. The human weakness is so much that many times, she doesn’t care about my graces, she is deaf to my voices, laughs at my love.

But it is enough to touch her skin, to remove the things necessary to natural life, that she abases her arrogance. She feels so humiliated that she makes herself a rag, and I do that which I want with her. Especially if they don’t have a perfidious and obstinate will, one chastisement is enough, to see herself at the brink of the grave, that he returns to Me into my arms.

You should know that I always love my children, my beloved creatures. I would eviscerate Myself in order to not see them stricken, so much so that in the deadly times to come, I have placed them all into the hands of my Celestial Mama. I have entrusted them to Her, so that She keeps them secure for Me under her mantle. I will give to Her all those that She will want, death itself won’t have power over those who will be in the custody of my Mama.”

Now while he said this, my dear Jesus made me see with deeds that the Sovereign Queen descended from Heaven with an indescribable Majesty, and a tenderness all Maternal, and she went around in the midst of creatures, in all the nations, and She marked her dear children, and those who must not be touched by the scourges. Each one my Celestial Mama touched, the scourges have no power to touch those creatures. Sweet Jesus gave the right to His Mama to put in safety whomever She pleased.

How moving it was to see the Celestial Empress going around through all the parts of the world, that she took them in Her Maternal hands, she entrusted them to her bosom, she hid them under her mantle, so that no evil could harm those whom Her Maternal Goodness kept in Her custody, guarded and defended.

Oh! If everyone could see with how much love and tenderness the Celestial Queen did this office, they would cry from consolation and they would love She who loves them so much.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:

My Celestial Mama, you possessed in your Maternal Heart the hidden love with which my Creator loved me, it fills me with joy, and to think that l was looked at by God, from inside You, my dear Celestial Mother, through your Sanctity and with your enrapturing beauty.

Oh! How happy I feel with all trust that I didn’t have to be loved and looked at alone, but loved and looked at together with you, my Mama.

Oh! You, in order to make me loved more by my Jesus, will cover me with your virtues, will dress me with your beauty and will hide my miseries and my weaknesses.”
