The Way of Love for the Lord
Chapter 29. Numerous rays of light poured down upon me.
While I was listening to a priest’s sermon in one charismatic retreat, I saw a woman beside me falling into a doze. I held her hands and said to her, “Hello, it is boring, isn’t it? But let us try to receive his good words into our hearts, not into our brains, no matter how boring they might sound. Then the Lord who is the truth will open our hardened hearts wide and lead us with His love.” I prayed for her and for all the attendees at the retreat as well. “Lord, we have been gathered here to offer ourselves up to You. Please be with us and guide us through the Holy Spirit. Let us not be like a broken jar that cannot hold water. Help us to take off all the worn-out clothes and to become clean souls by wearing new clothes. Let us breathe, move, and live only in Your love.” I listened to the sermon in concentration, accepting the good words out of it as the words that Jesus personally spoke to us. Then I saw a vision; numerous rays of light radiating from the cross poured down upon me, piercing my eyes, mouth, ears and heart. I felt extreme pain as if being pierced by tens of thousands of needles. I fell backward due to the pain. Then I managed to come to my senses and got up. “Lord, thank You. Now I realize that whenever sinners do wrong, You suffer pain like this. Lord, let as many sinners repent as the number of the rays of light that pierced my body. May Your Heart which has been wounded by sinners be comforted and be glorified. And let us all offer up gratitude that never dries up.” “Yes, My little soul! This world has already been covered with darkness due to numerous sins and even the children of the Church have been infected with errors. As many people in the world are spiritually blind and deaf, they cannot see or understand even if I repeat the same words all over, thereby causing Me much pain in My Heart. However, you are offering up praise and glory to Me through the communion of love with many souls every day and at every moment. This is like your feeding them the fruits of love on the banquet table of My love. Therefore, My immense thirst is quenched.”
