"You come to a wrongful death and no one shares your pain. Pierre did not go with you, he who said: "Never, I do not deny you, even if I die" (Mt 26,35). He left you this Thomas, who exclaimed: "Let us die all with him" (Jn 11:16). And the others, close friends, those who must judge the twelve tribes (Matthew 19:28), where are they now? Still one more, but you, yourself, my child, you die for all. It is your salary for having saved all mankind and have served, my son and my God. "
Turning to Mary, who was released from her cried:" Why are you crying, mother? ... I do not suffer? not to die? How, then I save him Adam? Do not live in the tomb? How do I bring him back to life those who dwell in hell? Why are you crying? Cree rather: 'That he suffers voluntarily, my son and my God. 'Virgin wise, do not go crazy with similar' (Mt 25.1 s); you're in the wedding, do not like if you were standing outside ... Do not cry any more, but rather say: 'Take pity on Adam, Eve, have mercy, you are my son and my God.
"Do not worry, mother, first you see me out of the tomb. I'll come show you what I bought misfortunes Adam sweats what I paid for it. To my friends, I will reveal the brands that I show in my hands. Eve then you will see live as before, and you cry in your joy, 'He saved my parents, my son and my God! " "
