O Jesus and Mary, let my entire consolation in this world be to love you and to suffer for sinners.

Why must we suffer? Because here below pure Love cannot exist without suffering. O Jesus, Jesus, I no longer feel my cross when I think of yours.

It is so good, so sweet and above all, so beneficial to suffer.

It is loving the Cross that one finds one heart, for Divine Love cannot live without suffering.

Love overcomes, love delights, those who love the Sacred Heart rejoice.

My Jesus, fill my heart with so much love that one day it will break just to be with you. My Jesus, you know I have placed you as a seal on my heart. Remain there always.

The Eucharist bathes the tormented soul in light and love. Then the soul appreciates these words, 'Come all you who are sick, I will restore your health.'
