He was spurned and avoided by men, a man of suffering, knowing pain, like one from whom you turn your face, spurned and we held him in no esteem. Yet it was our pain that he bore, our sufferings he endured. (Isaiah 53:3-4)
Then our good Lord put a question to me: "Are you well satisfied that I suffered for you?" I said: "Yes, good Lord, blessed may you be." The Jesus, our good Lord said: "If you are satisfied, I am satisfied. It is a joy, a bliss, and endless delight to me that I suffered my Passion for you; and if I could suffer more, I would suffer more."
He would count it all as nothing for love, for everything seems only little to him in comparison with his love. For although the sweet humanity of Christ could suffer only once, his goodness can never cease offering it. Every day he is ready to do the same.
