from Purgatory and took flight toward Heaven, and quite a
few sinners were converted, because my Divine Spouse let

everyone participate in the good of my sufferings. Who can
tell, then, the intense pains I felt in being stretched very well
over the Cross, and my hands and feet being pierced through

His Sorrowful Passion now the crown of thorns, now the

scourging, now the carrying of the Cross to Calvary, now the
Crucifixion; sometimes one mystery per day, and sometimes
everything in one day, according to His liking. And this was
