I spoke with the Savior. I told Him that I know His cross is now falling upon the Jewish nation, that most of the nation does not understand it, but those who have understood must be willing to take the cross upon themselves and bear it for everyone. I said that I would like to do it, but I do not know how. Let Him show me – how. Before the devotion ended, I was internally convinced that I had been heard. But I still did not know in what my bearing of the cross would consist.
(Teresa Benedicta of the Cross /1891–1942/, memory of a service in the Passion Week of 1933)
