From the height of the Cross, Jesus let resonate for His own and
for the entire world His “I thirst,” which did not express His need for water
but His passion for souls. For souls He suffered along the way of Calvary,
bearing afterwards the agonizing torment of the crucifixion. For souls He would
give His life; to them He addresses a heartfelt plea to not forget His gift of
love, His immense, infinite Self-giving love without measure. Christ, who could
have redeemed us with only a drop of His adorable blood, gives all, even unto
the shame of death on a Cross, because He longs for us to love Him in return.
It is the fire of love that burns in His soul and that He wants burning in our
hearts. (Racemi)
