My daughter – said Jesus, on January 3 of 1935 – suffering and the cross are the key to Heaven. I suffered so much to open it to humanity, and for many it was of no use! They say: ‘there is no hell!’ I died for them, and they declare that they did not ask this of Me; and against Me they utter heresies and proffer blasphemies.
I choose souls to save them: I place the cross on their shoulders and subject myself to assisting them. And happy the soul that understands the value of suffering! My Cross is sweet when carried for love of Me.
And Our Lord said to me – she continues – that if, for His love, I would bear with joy and resignation all the sufferings that He sent me, that He would open Heaven to thousands and thousands of sinners.
He also told me to send word to Your Reverence that at this time more souls are lost than are saved; that He wanted open war against the sin of impurity, which was the most accountable for the great numbers in hell.
