(Revealed to the pious, God loving sister Mary Magdalene of the Sancta Clara order, Franciscan, who lived, died and was beatified in Rome).
Jesus fulfilled the wish of this sister who desired ardently to know something about the secret sufferings which He endured the night before his death. (This devotion is approved and recommended by His Holiness Cement II 1730 - 1740.)
"The Jews considered Me as the most wretched an living on earth so that is why: (1) They fastened my feet with a rope and dragged me over the stepping stones of the staircase, down into a filthy, nauseating cellar. (2) They took off my clothing and stung my body with iron joints. (3) They attached a rope around my body and pulled me along on the ground, from end to end. (4) They hanged me on a wooden piece with a slipknot until I slipped out and fell down. Overwhelmed by this torture, I wept bloody tears. (5) They tied my to a post and pierced my body with various arms. (6) They struck me with stones and burnt me with blazing embers and torches. (7) They pierced me with awls: sharp spears tore my skin, flesh and arteries out of my body. (8) They tied me to a post and made me stand barefoot, on an incandescent metal sheet. (9) They crowned me with an iron crown and wrapped my eyes with the dirtiest possible rags. (10) They made me sit on a chair covered with sharp pointed nails, causing deep wounds in my body. (11) They poured on my wounds, liquid lead and resin and, after this torture they pressed me on the nailed chair, so that the nails went deeper and deeper into my flesh. (12) For shame and affliction, they drove needled into the holes of my uprooted beard. Then they tied my hands behind my back and led me walking out of prison with strikes and blows. (13) They threw me up on a cross and attached me so tightly that I could hardly breathe anymore. (14) They threw at my head as I lay on the earth, and they stepped on me, hurting my breast. Then, taking a thorn from my crown, they drove it into my tongue. (15) They poured into my mouth the most immodest excretions, as they uttered the most infamous expressions about me".
Then Jesus added:
"My daughter, I desire that you let everyone know these 15 SECRET TORTURES, in order that every one of them be honoured."
"Anyone who daily offers me, with love, one of these sufferings and says with fervour the following prayer, will be rewarded with Eternal Glory on the day of Judgement."
The Prayer
"My Lord and my God, it is my unchangeable will to honour You in these 15 SECRET TORMENTS, when you shed your precious blood: As many times as there are grains of sand around the seas, as grains of wheat in the fields, as blades of grass in the meadows, as fruit in the orchids, as leaves on the trees, as flowers in the gardens, as stars n the sky, as Angels in Heaven, as creatures on earth. So many thousands of times may you be Glorified, Praised and Honoured, Oh most loveworthy Lord Jesus Christ, your Holiest Heart, your Precious Blood, your Divine sacrifice of mankind, the Holiest Sacrament of the Altar, the Most Holy Virgin Mary, the Nine Glorious Choirs of Angel and the Blessed Phalanx of the Saints, from Myself and everyone, now and forever, and in the Eternal Ages."
"In like manner, I desire, my dear Jesus, to give you Thanksgiving, to serve You, to repair and atone for all ignominies and to offer You my soul and body as your possessions forever." "Likewise, I regret on my sins and beg Your pardon, Oh my Lord and my God. And I offer You all my merits of Jesus Christ to repair everything, to obtain a Happy dying hour and the deliverance of the souls from Purgatory." "This Prayer I desire to renew at each hour until my death, Oh lovable Jesus. Sweet Saviour, fortify my resolution and permit not that neither wretched men, not satan destroy it. AMEN"
