BIG PROMISES
What did Jesus promise to those who contemplate His Passion?
„For those who contemplate my Passion, I will give a soul for every word they read, if they do so together with Me and in My Will.”
„If the one who contemplates these Hours is a sinner, he will receive the grace of conversion. If he is imperfect, he will attain perfection. If he is tempted, he will be victorious.”
„If his soul is weak and miserable, he will find a spiritual mirror in which he will constantly look at himself in order to become like Jesus, our model.”
„Oh, how happy I would be if just one person read these Hours of My Passion in every town! I would feel present in every town, and My Justice, so despised in these times, would be partially appeased.”
„When I hear «The Hours of My Passion,» I hear My own voice and My own prayers. I see My Will in this soul, whose desire is the good of all, and I feel drawn to dwell in it.”
