[Jesus speaking]
“… And when, wanting to scrutinize Me also, Pilate asked Me: 'Are You king? And where is your kingdom?’ I wanted to give another sublime lesson by saying: ‘I am King.’ And I wanted to say: 'But do you know what My Kingdom is? My Kingdom is My Pains, My Blood, My Virtues. This is the True Kingdom which I possess, not outside of Me, but within Me. What one possesses on the outside is not a true kingdom, nor a safe dominion, because that which is not inside of man can be taken away, usurped, and he will be forced to leave it. But that which he has inside, no one will be able to take away from him - its dominion will be Eternal within him. The characteristics of My Kingdom are My Wounds, the Thorns, the Cross. I do not act like the other kings who make their peoples live outside of them, unsafe, and eventually, even starving. Not Me - I call My peoples to dwell inside the rooms of My Wounds, fortified and sheltered by My Pains, their thirst quenched by My Blood, their hunger satisfied by My Flesh. This alone is true reigning; all other reigns are reigns of slavery, of dangers and of death, while in My Reign there is True Life.
“How many Sublime Teachings, how many profound Mysteries in My Words. Each soul should say to herself, in pains and in sufferings, in humiliations and in abandonments by all, and in practicing true virtues: ‘This is my kingdom, which is not subject to perishing. No one can take it away from me or touch it. On the contrary, my kingdom is eternal and divine, similar to that of my sweet Jesus. My sufferings and pains certify it for me and render my kingdom more fortified and fierce, in such a way that, in the face of my great strength, no one will be able to wage battle against me.’ This is the Kingdom of Peace, to which all My children should aspire.”
