Crosses are baptismal founts.


This morning, on coming, blessed Jesus told me:  “My daughter, crosses, mortifications, are as many baptismal founts, and any kind of cross which is dipped in the thought of my Passion loses half of its bitterness and its weight decreases by half.”  And He disappeared like a flash.  I remained there, doing certain adorations and reparations in my interior, and He came back again, adding:  “What is not my consolation in seeing, redone in you, what my Humanity did many centuries ago.  In fact, everything which I established for each soul to do, was done in my Humanity before, and if the soul corresponds to Me, what I did for her she does again within herself; but if she does not, it remains done only in Me, and I feel an inexpressible bitterness.”
