Ch. 10: Loving Complaints
From His monstrance, from His tabernacle, from the depths of our hearts, He speaks to us. "For such a long time I have been with you, living by your side, coming to you daily in Holy Communion, never leaving you, being even closer than I was to My disciples. Still you do not know Me? Have you not contemplated My virtues? Have you not entered into My Sacred Heart? Have you not shared My very Life? I love you so much, so very much, beloved soul who is listening to Me."
That emotions of Jesus as He delicately renders His most tender complaints. That emotion--that causes our being to come to life even after so many centuries--came from the depths of the Infinite, the Sublime and the Divine. Jesus was deeply moved and He was speaking to all the cold and indifferent souls of all the ages with the emphasis of the heart.
Again Jesus, Whom we so frequently forget about, complains with a sadness that tears the heart about that which hurts Him most: our ingratitude! This dagger thrust is terrible for a noble Heart, Who has only known how to pour forth blessings. For what must the most sensitive, the most pure and loving Heart, have felt when being forgotten by His children? What a painful sword being forgotten is for the Soul Who only knew how to love and to sacrifice Himself in every form of martyrdom to bring happiness to those He loves!
We really do not comprehend the profound Love that the Heart of Jesus has for us. The more Jesus deigns to reveal to us those secrets of His loving Heart, the more we realize that we do not understand Him.
