Feast of the Triumph of the Cross

Message from Jesus Christ given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

"I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. I come to you today to help you understand the value of the cross. If I had not surrendered to My Cross, there would be no redemption. But because I accepted death on the Cross as the Father's Will, mankind has been redeemed."

"So it is with each cross in each soul's life. The Father permits the cross, either for the soul's own good, or as redemptive suffering for another. If the soul does not surrender the cross to Me, it becomes as a raindrop falling from the sky. One moment it is upon you - the next moment it evaporates. But when the soul surrenders to each cross - that is, accepts the cross in imitation of Me and does not struggle against it - the cross changes. It becomes an eternal treasure, which I store up for the soul away from all that is temporary in the world. I am able to draw upon that sacrifice - that surrender - over and over for the salvation of many."

"The cross you accept for Me is like a deep wellspring where I am able to go and draw grace over and over. Or it is like a jewel that you lay at My feet. The light from My Heart shines upon it giving it eternal brilliance - eternal merit."

"Crosses that are not accepted weigh the soul down. But as you accept the cross for Me, it becomes lighter and lighter."

"You will please make this known."
