Litany of Saint Joseph
V6 – 9.26.1904 “My daughter, not only was the Crowning with Thorns Triple, but almost All the Pains I Suffered in My Passion were Triple. Triple were the three Hours of Agony in the Garden; Triple was the Scourging, as they scourged Me with three different types of lashes; three times did they strip Me, and as many as three times was I condemned to death: at nighttime, early in the morning, and in broad daylight. Triple were My Falls under the Cross; Triple the nails; three times did My Heart pour out Blood: in the Garden by Itself; in the Act of the Crucifixion from Its very Center, when I was stretched well on the Cross—So Much So that My Body was all dislocated and My Heart was smashed inside and poured out Blood; and after My Death, when My Side was opened with a lance. Triple were the three hours of Agony on the Cross. If one Wanted to ruminate on everything—oh, how many ‘Triples’ he would find! And this was not by chance, but everything was so because of Divine Disposition, to Render the Glory Due to the Father Complete, as well as the Reparation owed to Him by creatures and the Good to be Earned for creatures themselves. In fact, the Greatest Good that the creature has Received from God was being Created in His Image and Likeness, and Endowed with three Powers—intellect, memory and will—and there is no sin that the creature commits in which these three Powers do not concur. So, she stains and disfigures the Beautiful Divine Image that she contains within herself, using the Gift to Offend the Giver. And I, in order to Restore this Divine Image in the creature and to Give God All the Glory that the creature owed Him, Concurred with All My Intellect, All My Memory and All My Will, in a Special Way with these ‘Triples’ Suffered by Me, in order to Render both the Glory Due to the Father and the Good which was Necessary for creatures Complete.” Book of Heaven - Luisa Piccarreta
