"While praying one day and while contemplating the Crucifix, it seemed that I heard these words: 'Look, my son, at my divine Blood.  Through sufferings, I poured it out, and through sufferings will its adoration be promoted.' Humankind shudders at the word suffering, but it is nevertheless necessary for one to learn to carry the cross.  This is the great ladder to heaven!" (# 3785)
