The Cross allows one to distinguish the reprobates from the predestined

V1 – 9.14.99 – “My beloved, the Cross allows one to distinguish the reprobates from the predestined.  Just as, on the Day of Judgment, the Good shall rejoice upon seeing the Cross, so even now it can be seen whether one shall be saved or lost.  If, as the Cross presents Itself to the soul, she Embraces It, Carries It with Resignation, with Patience, and she Kisses and Thanks that Hand that is sending It – here is the sign that she is saved.  If, on the contrary, as the Cross is presented to her, she gets irritated, despises it, and even reaches the point of offending Me – you can say that that’s a sign that the soul is heading on the way to hell.  So will the reprobates do on the Day of Judgment:  upon seeing the Cross, they shall grieve and curse.  The Cross tells everything; the Cross is a Book that, without deception and in clear notes, tells you and allows you to distinguish the Saint from the sinner, the Perfect from the imperfect, the Fervent from the lukewarm.  The Cross Communicates Such Light to the soul that, even now, It allows one to distinguish not only the Good from the evil, but also those who are to be more or less Glorious in Heaven – those who are to occupy a Higher or a lower place.  All other Virtues remain humble and reverent before the Virtue of the Cross, and Grafting themselves to It, they receive Greater Glory and Splendor.”
