You came to ornament Your creation
with a prodigious Love
that scandalised a multitude,
when You accepted the Cross,
leaving so many mouths open
like gaping graves;
inebriated with Your Love for us,
You accepted to die
and irrigate Your flower-beds

with Your Blood,
in order to open Heaven
and free us from the bondage of sin;
Delight-of-the-Father,
Streams of faithful Love
flowed from Your Heart
and in the folly of Your Love,
Lover of mankind,
You accepted the scandal of the Cross,
and all its sufferings;
O Spring of the universe,
perfuming the universe,
most lovable Bridegroom,
You are visiting once more the earth,
perfuming nation after nation,
but until when will those
who roam on this earth
not notice Your Perfume?
I am the Gateway through which the
virtuous enter; not until they repent and
make reparations will their nostrils open
to inhale My sweet fragrance and revive;
as for you, I want you as a lily, distilling
purity, distilling myrrh on My Church to
fragrance the House which I bought with
My Own Blood through My Sacrifice on
My Cross; remain near Me to spread
your perfume all around; bear My Cross
with tenderness and always remain
enamoured of It;
have My Peace; ic;

Scripture tells us not to have fear
in approaching the throne of grace
to receive mercy and to find grace
when we are in need of help;
3
Now, from Heaven, You are showing,
and I would say, parading,
Your mercy on us,
to transform our actual state
into a better state that will lead us
into the way of salvation;
the throne of grace decided,
the throne of grace, disturbed
by accumulated sins,
stepped out and pronounced an order,
“We have said,
‘blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God’,
today, this generation,
who feigns not to understand Us,
will never ever see Us and in their state,
will never reach their resting place;
how, in their actual state of sin,
will We ever make Our abode in them
and they in Us?
O devastated generation!
“From Us alone will come salvation,
Our Infinite Mercy compels Us
to pour on this generation
increased and unmerited graces;
Our Mercy will save many of Our children
who unceasingly resist Our Love;
“From the throne of grace
they shall receive mercy
to attain the perfection
that is required to enter Heaven;
“Through Our mercy We will raise souls,
but woe to those hearts that are so evil
that they should want to diminish
or disbelieve or calumniate Our mercy;
it is with Justice that they will be punished
for blaspheming on Our mercy!”
