"No, for I, by whom thou learnest, can heal thee of them, and what I say to

I must add my wounds to His, and join myself to Him; and He will save me in
saving Himself. But this must not be postponed to the future.

His sufferings.

At the Last Supper He gave Himself in communion as about to die; to the
disciples at Emmaus as risen from the dead; to the whole Church as ascended
into heaven.
