A True Letter of Our Saviour Jesus
Christ
Consecrating the Drops of Blood which Our Lord Jesus lost on
His way to Cavalry.
Copy of a letter of the Oration found in the Holy Sepulchre of
Our Lord Jesus Christ in Jerusalem preserved in a silver box by
His Holiness and by the Emperors and Empresses of the Christian
Faith.
St. Elizabeth, Queen of Hungary, with St. Matilda and St. Bridget,
wishing to know something of the Passion of Jesus Christ, offered
fervent and special prayers, upon which there appeared to them
Our Lord Jesus Christ who spoke to them in the following manner:
I descended from Heaven to the Earth in order to convert you.
In olden times people were religious and their harvests were
abundant; at present, on the contrary, they are scanty.
If you want to reap an abundant harvest you must not work on
Sunday, for on Sunday you must go to Church and pray to God to
forgive your sins. He gave you six days in which to work and one
for rest and devotion and to tender your help to the poor and
assist the Church.
Those people who brawl against my religion and cast slurs on
this Sacred Letter, shall be forsaken by me.
On the contrary, those people who shall carry a copy of this
letter with them shall be free from death by drowning and from
sudden death. They shall be free from all contagious diseases
and lightning; they shall not die without confession, and shall
be free from their enemies and from the hand of wrongful authority,
and from all their slanderers and false witnesses.
Women in peril at chilld-birth will, by keeping this Oration
about them, immediately overcome the difficulty. In the houses
where this Oration is kept no evil thing will ever happen: and
forty days before the death of a person who has this Oration about
him or her, the Blessed Virgin will appear to him or her. So said
St. Gregorius.
To all those faithful who shall recite for 3 years, each day
2 Paters, Glorias and Aves, in honor of the drops of blood I lost,
I will concede the following 5 graces:
1st. The plenary indulgence and remittance of your sins.
2nd. You will be free from the pains of Purgatory.
3rd. If you should die before completing the said 3 years, for
you it will be the same as if you had completed them.
4th. It will be upon your death the same as if you had shed all
your blood for the Holy Faith.
5th. I will descend from Heaven to take your soul and that of
you relatives, until the fourth generation.
Be it known that the number of armed soldiers were 150; those
who trailed me while I was bound were 23. The executioners of
justice were 83; the blows received on my head were150; those
on my stomach, 108; kicks on my shoulders, 80. I was led, bound
with cords by the hair, 24 times; spits in the face were 180;
I was beaten on the body 6666 times; beaten on the head, 110 times.
I was roughly pushed, and at 12 o’clock was lifted up by
the hair; pricked with thorns and pulled by the beard 23 times;
received 20 wounds on the head; thorns of marine junks, 72; pricks
of thorns in the head, 110; mortal thorns in the forehead, 3.
I was afterwards flogged and dressed as a mocked king; wounds
in the body, 1000. The soldiers who led me to Cavalry were 608;
those who watched me were 3, and those who mocked me were 1008;
the drops of blood which I lost were 28,430.
Benedetta DA S.S., Pope Leo XIII, In Roma 5 Aprile 1890
