From the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta
Luisa:
This morning, my adorable Jesus made Himself seen crucified, and after He communicated His pains to me, He told me:
Jesus:
“Many are the wounds that made Me suffer during my Passion, but one was the Cross. This means that many are the roads by which I draw souls to perfection, but one is the Heaven in which these souls must unite. So, if one misses that Heaven, there is no other that can render them blessed forever. ”
Luisa:
Then He added:
Jesus:
“Take a look: one is the Cross, but this Cross was formed with various pieces of wood. This means that one is Heaven, but this Heaven contains various places, more or less glorious; and these places will be distributed according to the sufferings suffered down here, more or less heavy. Oh! if all knew the preciousness of suffering, they would compete with one another to suffer more. But this science is not recognized by the world, and so they abhor everything that can render them richer for eternity. ” (Divinewillapp.com from Book of Heaven).
Scripture-18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18).
Reflection- O Lord we bless You, we adore You, and we love You because You tell us and show us this Holy Week that there are many roads to Heaven but all come through the Cross. The world does not understand this, we do everything we can to avoid suffering as if we are going to live forever and by doing so we throw away the riches that will live with us forever in Eternity. O Lord we all have suffering- physically, emotionally, and spiritually. May we be able to say with St. Paul that these sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed to us! O Lord in the name of all may we all know the preciousness of the portion of the cross You have allotted for each one of us! Fiat!
