Jesus says:
“Do you know what my bound Hands signify? Do you know who binds them? Do you know why there is so much pain in my gaze, so much weariness on my Face? Do you know what I ask for from those able to look at me?
“My Hands are bound by Satan by means of sinners. You have not misunderstood. I repeat: they are bound by Satan by means of sinners.
“You will ask, ‘But, O Lord, how can that be if You are God?’ I am the God of Mercy and Forgiveness; I am the God of power, the Father of graces. But sin paralyzes my Power for graces, my Mercy, my Forgiveness. For, if I am Mercy, Grace, and Forgiveness, I am also Justice. I thus give to each what that person deserves. And if you consider, in justice, you must say that I always give more graces than you deserve.
“If upon an earthly authority, even a simple municipal courier, you inflicted the offenses inflicted upon Me, you would be punished with imprisonment. Furthermore, if it were a higher authority, you would even be punished with the loss of your lives. And the authorities are poor men like yourselves who remain authorities as long as I allow them to, for your merit, as a test for them, and almost always for their punishment. Your merit: to obey and be patient. A test for them: not to abuse power, not to grow proud on this account, believing themselves to be demigods, or gods, because they see people ready to come at a nod and cry out, “Hosanna!” One alone is god: God. For their punishment: for it is even harder for an authority to remain honest, in the thousand forms of honesty, than for a rich man to be saved. Therefore, their human glory is the only glory they have. Very few authorities reach that glory which is eternal.
“The continuous, increasingly wicked offenses which men commit, at the instigation of my Enemy and yours, bind my Mercy, my Grace, and my Forgiveness. This is what my bound Hands are, and these are the ones binding them with the rope of Evil: Satan and his children. And my hands would instead like to be free to forgive, heal, console, and bless.
“O you that love me, untie my Hands with your love! Make reparation, make reparation, O my beloved ones, dearest friends and children, for the outrage committed against the Hands of your God, Father, and Redeemer. Love is a flame consuming chains and burning withes, restoring freedom to my bound Hands. You that love me, have mercy on my pain and have mercy on your leprous brothers and sisters, who alone can heal my Hands.
“My gaze is full of pain over all the outrages which are committed against Me in the Sacrament and in my Law. A Law trampled upon, a Sacrament profaned. Have you read? Have you heard? Have you observed? The altar of the Sacrament is always stricken. Don’t you see the sign of Satan in this? And consider this, for your joy. Where, amidst the ruins, the Ciborium containing Me can be found intact and gathered in with fitting honors, it is because a heart, or many hearts, far from the place stricken, but adoring Me in the Eucharist, have diverted the blow aimed by Satan. Those Hosts you save, humble and loving souls who pray for my Sacrament, infuse into you the same fruits as a Communion of love.
“Weariness is on my Face because I increasingly observe the extent to which I have died in vain for so much of mankind, because I increasingly observe that nothing - no words, no miracles, no punishments, no graces - is of use to make people consider that I am God and that only in God is there Goodness and Peace. When someone is weary and afflicted, those who love him give him affection to console him, repose to comfort him. I ask you and those who love me for this.
“I am excluded from churches and hearts. When he was a pilgrim on the earth, the Son of Man did not have a stone of his own to rest his head on. But now that the hearts of men are made of stone, do I perhaps have a place to rest my head? No. Just some rare, extremely rare faithful heart. The others are hostile to their Friend and Redeemer.
“So open your hearts to me, you that love me. Give shelter to your God, who weeps with pain over blameworthy humanity; refresh Him who gives Himself in eternal sacrifice and is not understood. I, Jesus, will come with all my graces and make the faithful heart a little Paradise.”
Jesus further states:
“Among the ‘riches’ to be given away in order to follow Me which I have listed for you,72 there is still one more. The one most closely linked to the spirit, which, on being torn away, causes more pain than the flesh when being torn off. It is the affections, this wealth which is so vital. And yet out of love for Me one must be able to give away those, too.
“I do not condemn affections. Rather, I have blessed and sanctified them with the Law and the Sacraments. But you are on earth to conquer Heaven. That is the true dwelling. What I have created for you here below should be seen through the lens of heaven. What I have given you should be accepted with gratitude, but given back promptly at my request.
“I do not destroy your wealth in affection. I remove it from the earth to transplant it into Heaven. There, experiences of holy family life, pure friendships, and all those forms of honest, blessed affection which I, the Son of God made man, have wanted for Myself as well - and I know how dear they are - will be reconstructed in eternity. But if they are dear, very dear, they are not dearer than God and eternal life.
“But those who, in the face of an affection which is severed, are unable to pronounce the most beautiful word of sons and daughters in God, but rebel do not demonstrate true faith in the affectionate Father who is in heaven. And they do not reflect that if I give that pain, it is certainly to spare greater pains and obtain greater merit!
“You, even you, have been unable to say, ‘May it be done as You will!’ Years had to pass before you said to Me, ‘Thank You, Father, for that pain.’ But do you believe your Jesus would have given it to you if it had not been a good to give it to you? Now you reflect and understand. But how long you have taken to do so! I called you. I tried to make you understand the reason. But you did not hear your God. It was the hour of darkness for the mind and the soul.
“Don’t ask me, ‘Why did You permit it?’ If I permitted it, it was not without a motive. I am speaking to you about it tonight, when you are suffering most. I am with you precisely because you are suffering. I am keeping you company. But remember that I had no one in the hour of temptation. I had to overcome it by Myself. You, on the other hand, have always had Me near, even when you did not see Me because the Spirit of Evil disturbed you to the point of keeping you from seeing and hearing your Jesus.
“Now, if I told you that a son’s acceptance of a father’s death shortens Purgatory for the father, that a son’s forgiveness of the more or less real failings of a father is relief for that soul, you would believe it. But then you did not resign yourself and wasted the good you were doing.
“To renounce the wealth of an affection, in order to follow my Will without human remorse, is the perfection of renunciation given as counsel to the young man in the Gospel.
“Remember this for the rest of your life. A father of the kind I am never gives anything harmful to his children. Even if the appearance is that of a stone for someone requesting a kiss, that stone is pure, eternal gold. It is up to the soul to recognize it and keep it such, while pronouncing the word which drew Me down from the Heavens into Mary’s womb and placed Me on the Cross to redeem the world: Fiat.”
