"Yes, I love the cross, the cross alone"

February 15Jesus tells me, in love, it is he who delights me me at pains, however, who would delight me to it. Therefore, health wish would be to fetch joy for me and not seek relief for Jesus. Yes, I love the cross, the cross alone, because I love her forever in Jesus' shoulders. But Jesus looks great that all my life and my heart are entirely devoted to him and his suffering.Oh, Father, forgive me if I use this language, only Jesus can understand how great is my grief when the scene unfolding before me painful Calvary. Equally incomprehensible relief given to Jesus, not only to share their pain, but when he finds a soul, for your love, do not ask consolations, but rather take part in their own suffering.When Jesus wants me to know that he loves me, I do like it, of His sorrowful Passion, the wounds, the thorns, the anguish ... When you want to cheer, fills my heart with that spirit which is all fire, I spoke of his delight , but when is he who wants to be loved, I talk about their pain, invites me, pleading voice and mandate at a time, to give my body to lighten their suffering.Who will resist? I realize that I've made you suffer too much with my miseries that I have made too mourn with my ingratitude that I offended you too. I do not want another but only Jesus, not desire anything else (which is the same desire of Jesus) that their sufferings.(February 1, 1913, to Father Agustin de San Marcos in Lamis - Letters. I, p. 334)
