The more we love, the more we need sacrifice and the more we ardently desire it.

I wish...I could help you find consolation near the Cross. In its shadow, every kind of bitterness fades. No one has suffered like Jesus has and, from His cross, He teaches us to bear with every pain in silence and in resignation. From the cross and with open arms He invites us saying; "Come to me all you who are burdened under the weight of suffering and I will give you rest."

Today I felt annihilated, but I held my crucifix tightly and I only told Him: "I love You."

Our Lord thirsts for our love. He suffered from Bethlehem to Calvary and forged chains by which to live in the tabernacle together with us. Don't we have a little love for this Divine Beggar?

Let us live on the Cross. The Cross is the denial of our will. Heaven is on the Cross because Jesus is there.

Our Lord kept nothing for Himself when He loved me from the wood of the Cross. And will I give myself to Him by halves?

What is the sacrifice? What is the Cross but heaven when Jesus Christ is on it? Give Him your will in such a way that you can no longer say "I want this," but I desire what He desires.

Strive to get to know Jesus who is the intimate Friend of our souls. In Him is found the tenderness of a mother to an infinite degree: comfort to those who are suffering, strength to fulfill our obligations. Gaze at Jesus annihilated in the manger, on the Cross, in the tabernacle. There He tells us how much He loves us.
