“Tell me, my Good, what will You give as a reward to those who will do the Hours of the Passion the way You taught them to me?” And He: "My daughter, I will not look at these Hours as your things, but as things done by Me. I will give you the same Merits, as if I were in the act of suffering My Passion. In this way, I will let you obtain the same Effects, according to the dispositions of the souls. This, while on earth - and I could not give you a greater thing from My own. Then, in Heaven, I will place these souls in front of Me, flashing them with Lightnings of Love and Contentment for as many times as they did the Hours of My Passion - while they will flash to Me as well. What a Sweet Enchantment this will be for all the Blessed!"

As the voluminous manuscripts which Our Lord has dictated to Luisa are gradually published, from the tenderness with which Jesus treats her, from the sweet words with which He calls her, from His celestial embraces and her loving correspondence, admirable things will be revealed about the singular virtues of this soul, who - who knows - one day, coming out triumphantly from the infallible judgments of the Church, will be placed on the altar as protection of many.
+from the Preface by Saint Annibale Maria di Francia
