O Jesus, sweet Lover of men, what love is this that hath so swallowed up Thy Heart, that Thou hastenest to death as to a marriage feast, that Thou goest forth to meet Thine enemies, as if they were Thy friends! from John Tauler: Meditations on the Life and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Antonius Wierix (ca. 1552–1604) from his series Cor Jesu amanti sacum
I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine. Canticles 6:3

JESUS COMMUNICATES TO THE SOUL
THE MERITS OF HIS SUFFERING
By His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5
BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD.

That this cross may be sweet to Him,
These torments to Him would be delicious
if all gathered in the fruit.
