Jesus desires that each person console Mary. And of course he would! Do we not share his divine life? Do we not have his Heart as our own? We, too, should long to console Mary, who is the Beloved of each soul alive with Jesus' life...
"On December 10th, 1925, the most holy Virgin appeared to her, and by her side, elevated on a luminous cloud, was a child. The most holy Virgin rested her hand on her shoulder, and as she did so, she showed her a heart encircled by thorns, which she was holding in her other hand. At the same time, the Child said:
'Have compassion on the Heart of your most Holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them.'”
