“…it will save the world because He will be hidden within it, as if to make room for those who, in imitation of Him, wish to be crucified, and so that the Holy Spirit, which all the Crosses of the Apostolate will carry upon them as if protecting them, may be honored in the forefront.” Ap. C. 42.2
- … “It will save the corrupt world and make the light shine on the spiritual path, so sadly lax and twisted. The Cross will inspire fervor in lukewarm souls and awaken sinners who sleep in the fatal slumber of their errors and missteps…”
