Excerpt from the book: A few weeks after that, another strange incident occurred. Kokoro was kneeling with her eyes closed in a seat right in front of the altar. After some time, she felt that things were getting brighter around her, and she opened her eyes. There, right in front of her, stood the Baby Jesus, carrying a cross on his back It was the Jesus painted in the painting of The Annunciation, which was hung on the right side of the church. Jesus spoke to Kokoro, who stared at him, her eyes opened wide. "Kokoro, take this cross off my back. It is too heavy." "O.K. I'll take it off for you." She helped the Infant Jesus take the cross off his back without hesitation. It didn't come off easily, but as she repeatedly pulled it many times, she soon was able to take it off. "Jesus had to carry the cross since he was small." As she said so, she felt pity for Jesus, thinking that it must have been hard to carry a cross on his back ever since he was a small child. "Thank you, Kokoro I feel very light " The Infant Jesus seemed happy to have his cross taken off his back and to be free. He thanked Kokoro. Kokoro, who held the cross she had taken off Jesus' back in her hand, thought it was heavier than she had ever imagined, and she simply could not rejoice. Jesus asked Kokoro to put down the cross on the floor and play with him, and they played hide-and-seek and other games together. "This was a lot of fun " she told him when they finished playing. "Me too But, Kokoro, this is a secret just between you and me." "All right. But can we play together again?" "Maybe we will see each other again someday." "When will that be?" Jesus did not answer. He just smiled. Again, when she once again became aware, she found herself lying alone, sleeping on the red rug in front of the altar. She looked for Jesus as soon as she woke up, but the Infant Jesus was back in the original painting with the cross and no longer spoke. For a long period of time she would go to the chapel every day, always hoping that Jesus would appear and play with her again. http: //peterchavier.com/en/
