Sighs of Love and Tears of Devotion
With heartfelt grief, I sigh while considering Your Holy Passion, O Lord, and I beg You to wound my heart with the arrow of Your love.

“Whenever anyone sighs towards Me with love in meditating on My Passion, it is as though he gently touched My wounds with a fresh-budding rose, and I wound his heart in return with the arrow of My Love. Moreover, if he sheds tears of devotion over My Passion, I will accept them as though he had suffered for Me.”

- Our Lord to St. Mechtilde

“Ask My Father for as many souls as I shed drops of Blood during My Passion.”

- Our Lord to Sr. Mary of St. Peter
