What Saint Teresa said about devotion to the Sacred Cape

Teresa says: “Our Lord and his Holy Mother consider this devotion as a powerful means of repairing the outrage that was made to the Most Wise and Most Holy God when he was crowned with thorns, derided, scorned and dressed like a madman. It would seem now that these thorns are about to bloom, I mean that He would currently wish to be crowned and recognized as the Wisdom of the Father, true King of kings. And as in the past the Star led the Magi to Jesus and Mary, in recent times the Sun of Justice must lead us to the Throne of the Divine Trinity. The Sun of Justice is about to rise and we will see it in the Light of His Face and if we let ourselves be guided by this Light, He will open the eyes of our soul, instruct our intelligence, give recollection to our memory, nourish our imagination of a real and beneficial substance, it will guide and bend our will, it will fill our intellect with good things and our heart with everything it could desire. "

“Our Lord made me feel that this devotion will be like the mustard seed. Although little known in the present, it will become in the future the great devotion of the Church because it honors all Sacred Humanity, the Holy Soul and the Intellectual Faculties that until now have not been particularly revered and are nevertheless the noblest parts of the human being: the Sacred Head, the Sacred Heart and in fact the whole Sacred Body.

I mean that the limbs of the Adorable Body, like its Five Senses, were directed and governed by the Intellectual and Spiritual Powers and we venerate every act that these have inspired and that the Body has performed.

He incited to ask for the true Light of Faith and Wisdom for all. "

June 1882: “This devotion is absolutely not intended to replace that of the Sacred Heart, it must only complete it and make it progress. And again Our Lord has impressed on me that he will spread all the promises graced to those who will honor his Sacred Heart on those who practice devotion to the Temple of Divine Wisdom.

If we do not have faith we can neither love nor serve God. Even now infidelity, intellectual pride, open rebellion against God and his revealed Law, obstinacy, presumption fill the spirits of men, take them away from the so sweet yoke of Jesus and they tie them with the cold and heavy chains of selfishness, of their own judgment, of the refusal to let themselves be led in order to govern themselves, from which derives disobedience to God and to the Holy Church.

Then Jesus himself, Incarnate verb, Wisdom of the Father, who made himself obedient until the death of the Cross, gives us an antidote, an element that can repair, repair and repair in all ways and that will repay the debt contracted a hundredfold the Infinite Justice of God. Oh! What expiation could be offered to repair such an offense? Who could pay a ransom enough to save us from the abyss?

Look, here is a victim whom nature despises: the head of Jesus crowned with thorns! "
