Flower of Devotion

According to the apparitions of the Venerable Mary of Jesus:
Finally, the Divine Saviour arrived, covered with wounds and deathly tired, on Mount Calvary.
Here the executioners stripped His most holy garment from His most holy body. But they did not succeed in removing the loincloth which He had around His loins, because at the request of the Blessed Mother the power of the Most High did not allow it. Then they had the Savior stretch out on the Cross to mark the place for the holes of the nails. The Lord obeyed without refusal, but the wicked marked the openings, not according to the size of the holy body, but much farther away, in order to cause the Lord a new unspeakable affliction. When holes had been drilled in the Cross, they commanded Our Lord to lie down on the Cross a second time to nail Him to Him. The Savior obeyed, lay down on the Cross, and stretched out His hands on that happy tree, just as His executioners had demanded.
Then one of the executioners seized Jesus’ hand and pressed it against the hole drilled in the Cross, while another fastened it, driving a thick prismatic nail through the Lord’s hand with hammer blows. That nail tore the veins, the nerves and broke the bones of that most holy hand that created Heaven and all that is. But the other hand did not reach the hole for the nail, because the nerves had contracted, and the incisors, as mentioned earlier, had drilled the hole at the wrong distance. And so, in order to settle the matter, they took a chain, and fastened it at one end, where there was a kind of hand-fetter, over the shoulder of the Lord. Then they pulled with unheard-of cruelty at the other end until they placed their hand straight over the opening, and then nailed it with a second nail, which was even larger than the first. They also nailed both of Jesus’ feet to the Cross at the same time.

Thus the Incarnate Word, the Divinity united to the Body, was nailed to the Holy Cross. And this masterpiece of deified and Holy Ghost-created members was so tattered and torn apart that the bones could be counted; for they all departed from their natural position and diverged. The bones of the breast, arms, and shoulder blades were protruding and violently pulled out of their proper places. Then they took the Cross with the Saviour crucified to the pit in which it was to be placed. Some used their hands, others javelins and spears, lifting the Savior into the air. Then they lowered the lower end of the Cross into a pit which they had previously dug for this purpose.
