St. Gertrude lived in the Middle Ages, yet our Lord spoke to her words that transcend time...
"Every time one kisses the Crucifix, or looks at it with devotion, the eye of God's mercy is fixed upon his soul. He should then listen within himself to these words of tenderness from Me: Behold how I, for love of thee, hang on the Cross--naked, despised, My whole Body wounded, all My limbs distended. And still my Heart is enkindled with such glowing love for thee, that if it were beneficial for thy salvation and thou couldst not be saved in any other way, I would for thee alone endure all that I suffered for the whole world."
--St. Gertrude the Great, Herald of Love
