"Look at My Heart: It cannot contain the ardor with which It longs to impart Itself, and deliver Itself over, and remain always with sinners. How I long for them to open their hearts to Me, to enclose Me in them, and that the fire that consumes Mine should fortify and enkindle theirs....
"With enthusiasm, with vehemence It is sacrificed, It is immolated, It is given for those It loves.... The Holy Eucharist is love to the extreme of folly."
(as told to visionary Sr. Josefa Menendez)
After he died, his mother and friends took him down from the cross for burial. |
