“Baba, there are so many things I wish to do for you,” Ivy declared, “but these broken feet won’t let me!”
Baba said, “Can’t you take this much? Look what they did to me when I was Jesus – put all those thorns on my head, which drew blood, made me carry the cross. They beat me, nailed me on the cross and pierced my side. I had to withstand so much! Can’t you withstand this much pain?”
Ivy Duce later recalled: “If you could have seen how realistically Baba said all this, one would never ever doubt that he did suffer on the cross, and you would never feel like complaining again about anything.”
