Love Has Been Found: Christ’s Suffering

Love Has Been Found: Christ’s Suffering

“The Lord repeatedly communicated to me things about His Most Holy Passion. He said that regarding the sufferings He had, we do not know one third of them! But the greatest were those He suffered interiorly. It seems to me that again He had me understand that whoever asked for graces through the merits of His Passion would never be denied anything. In the same way, whoever also asked for any grace through the merits of His Most Holy Wounds would be granted the grace that was asked of Him.”

Love Has Been Found: Christ Suffering

Love Has Been Found: Christ Suffering

“The Lord appeared to me completely wounded and crowned with thorns. Oh, God! What sorrow I felt at such a great sight! I was pained for the suffering the Lord felt, and at the same time I had intimate sorrow for my sins due to the offenses I had done to Him. I was between these two points: His infinite love and my ingratitude.”

Love Has Been Found: Communion

Love Has Been Found: Communion

“Every time I went to Communion, I felt so happy, and sometimes I think there were also recollections and raptures. I felt that the Lord kindled within me more and more by giving me certain desires to resolve once and for all to truly love Him. Very often, He gave me certain touches in my heart that stirred me and made me understand the things of this life. From this, I learned that there is no other good than God.”

Love has been found – First Communion

Love has been found – First Communion

“In my First Communion, it seems to me that the Lord had me understand that I was to be His bride. I experienced something I cannot describe. It was as if I were outside myself. In receiving that Most Holy Host, it seemed to me that a fire entered my heart! I felt myself burning. I couldn’t stay still. Meanwhile, I didn’t want to attract attention. I saw that all those who had received Communion with me were there completely composed, and I was amazed that they could remain so still while I felt a fire that made me rejoice. I said to myself, “They are still; I will remain that way, too.” And meanwhile, I felt that I couldn’t take it anymore.”

The Real Presence

The Real Presence

The Church has recognized the truth in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ–Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity–in the Holy Eucharist from the beginning. Early Evidence: “I desire the Bread of God, which is the Flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David, and for drink I desire His Blood, which is love incorruptible.” Ignatius of Antioch, AD 110.
