What
is a victim Soul
CHOSEN
SOUL who freely sacrifices oneself, one’s health, material goods,
happiness, etc. as an offering to Divine justice for the sins of the
world, for sinners, or for the benefit of the Church. Or as Our Lady has
often said, these generous souls, after the example of the crucified
Christ, are needed to “balance the scales.” In fact, this is the most
sinful and wicked age ever (Our Lady, April 6, 1974).
This
whole concept of victim is nothing new, but has been in practice since
ancient times. The Jewish priests would make burnt offerings or prepare
victims (animals) for sacrifice to God for expiation of sin (Lev. 16.27).
However, this was a mere prefigurement of the ultimate Victim, Jesus
Christ, Who of course, is the King of victim souls, the perfect and
unblemished offering Who redeemed and restored fallen humanity to its
original state of justice in which it was created.
Nevertheless,
in the mysterious design of the Eternal Father, a certain reparation must
still be made for sin so that our sufferings and trials may “fill up
those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ” (Col. 1.24).
