On one occasion St. Mechtilde asked the Lord Jesus: “What is the use of a book containing her revelations?” The Savior said to her,
All who seek me with faithful hearts will find joy in it, those who love me will be more kindled in my love, and those who are sad will find comfort in it.”

Prayer in praise of the Lord Jesus who suffered the Passion


The words of the Mosr Holy Virgin Love. From the apparitions of Mary of Jesus:
O love and good of my soul, my Lord and God! You are worthy that all creatures should worship, adore and glorify You; that they all owe you. For you are the likeness of the eternal Father, the reflection of His Being, infinite in Your being and in Your perfections, the beginning and ultimate goal of all holiness. If, on the other hand, creatures ought to serve Thee by submission to Thy will, why, O Lord and eternal Good, do they despise Thee, rebuke Thee, insult Thee, and torment Thee, to whom the highest homage is due? Whence comes it that man’s anger has risen so greatly? Why has the pride of men been puffed up to such an extent that it even rises up with blasphemies against You? Why has jealousy become so powerful? You are the only and brightly shining sun of righteousness that gives light and dispels the darkness of sin (John 1:29). You are the source of grace, open to all who seek it. You are the One who, out of bountiful love, bestows upon all those who have such a being and movement in their lives (Acts 17:28). You are the One who sustains all creatures. Everything depends on you and needs you. You, on the other hand, don’t need anyone or anything.
What, then, has been seen in Your works, and what has been found in Your Person, that You are subjected to such abuses and insults? O cursed wickedness of sin, which hast succeeded in so much disfiguring this heavenly beauty and obscuring the shining sun of His worship of the most worthy Face! O bloodthirsty wild beasts, who treat Him so unworthily with Him who has saved you from the greatest misfortune!
But I know, O my Lord, that You are the Creator of true love and the source of human salvation, the Master and Lord of virtue! (Psalm 23:10). And that Thou dost practise Thy doctrine in deeds in Thyself, thus teaching the humble disciples of Thy school. By your example you humiliate pride, shame presumption and exemplify all men in their pursuit of eternal salvation. And if You require everyone to imitate Your ineffable love and patience, then it is the Body that I am most obliged to imitate, who gave You a Body in which You now bear so many Wounds, so many insults and torments. Oh, if I could bear all these sufferings myself, and You, my most innocent Son, that You could be released from them! But since
this is impossible, I desire at least to suffer with you until death.
And you, spirits of heaven, who admire the patience of My Beloved, who acknowledge His immutable Divinity, and the innocence, the dignity of His true Humanity, oh, make reparation to the insults and blasphemies inflicted upon Him by men! Render unto Him the glory, the glory, the wisdom, the honor, the power, and the strength (Revelation 5:12). Call upon Heaven, the planets, the stars, and the elements, that they may all acknowledge Him and confess Him, and see if there is another sorrow that is equal to My sorrow.
