“It is true. And the learned - who, though they are even excessively convinced they are learned, rummage among the numberless gems which God has given you, to adorn themselves with them - will note down these words once more, collate them, and break them down into little pieces, like doctors delving into the secrets of nature and the life and death of men. But you do not. You do not remember and catalogue. For you, it is always new. And beautiful. You are the simple child full of faith and love. And I speak for you. For you alone. What better, more peaceful company - in order for you to prepare for the Kingdom of Life and cross its threshold - than my lessons, drawn from the epistles of the one who preached Christ even after his death, with the threefold gushing forth of the Three Fountains, in the place where a spring has now been miraculously opened through the mercy of Mary,361 the Key to opening up every form of Divine Mercy?”362
361 An allusion to St. Paul, who was decapitated in Rome in 67 A.D. and whose head, bouncing three times, caused three fountains of water to issue forth.
