Jesus wants us holy at all costs.

Nov. 12
In order to reach our ultimate goal must follow the divine Head, who does not usually lead to soul chosen by different way he walked, for the one, I say, self-denial and the cross: "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. "Are not you lucky to call you and see you treated by Jesus? Fool who can not penetrate the secret of the cross.
To reach the port of salvation, the Holy Spirit tells us, the souls of the elect must pass and purified in the fire of painful humiliations, such as gold and silver in the pot, and thus saves the atonement of the afterlife: "in suffering stand firm, and setbacks of your humiliation be patient. Because the fire purifies gold and silver, and men acceptable to God, in the way of humiliation. "
Jesus wants us holy at all costs, but most of all wants to sanctify you. He'll continually being manifested, seems to have no other concern at hand to sanctify your soul.Oh, how good is Jesus! The crosses continued to submit you, giving you the strength not only necessary but abundantly, to support them with merit, are very certain and particularísimos signs of his deep love for you. The strength that he gives you, believe me, is not barren of you, I assure you from God and you must listen humbly aside any feelings you otherwise.
