**The Mother of God said to the bride: "Consider, new bride of my Son, the suffering of my Son, which surpassed in bitterness the suffering of all the saints. Just as a mother would feel the most bitter sorrow and anguish if she saw her son being cut to pieces alive, so, too, was I grieving at the torments of my Son when I saw His bitter sufferings."**
** The her divine Son answered: "Blessed be you, My beloved Mother, above all the angels. Just as I, in a threefold way, was most sweet for you, as you were saying now, so I am bitter, bitterer, and most bitter for the wicked. I am bitter for those who say I have created many things without a reason and who scornfully say I have created mankind for death and not for life. What a miserable and foolish thought! Did I, Who AM the most righteous and virtuous, create the angels without**
a reason? Would I have enriched mankind with so many good things if I had created him for damnation? By no means! I created all things well and gave every good to mankind out of My love. But he, however, turned all good things into evil for himself. It is not because I created anything evil, but mankind moves his will in another way than he should, and not according to God’s law, and this is evil.
** But I am bitterer for those who say that I have given them a free will to sin and not to do good, who say I am unjust since I condemn some and justify others, and who blame Me for their own wickedness because I withhold My grace from them. I am most bitter for those who say that My law and commandments are exceedingly harsh and difficult and that no one is able to keep them, who say My suffering is worth nothing for them, and who therefore count it for nothing.**
** Therefore, I swear by My life, as once I swore through the prophets, that I shall justify Myself before the angels and all My saints. Those for whom I am bitter shall understand that I created all things reasonably and well for the use and education of mankind, and that not the smallest worm exists without a reason. Those for whom I am bitterer shall understand that I wisely gave men a free will for their own good. They will also know that I am just, giving the eternal kingdom to good men, but everlasting torment to the wicked. For it would not be proper for the devil, who was created good by Me but who fell through his own malice, to have fellowship with the good.**
