Cenacle - Upper Room, encounters

In Saturday in Easter Octave, the Gospel of Mark 16: 9-15 the reference to the the ELEVEN disciples is unique - appearance to the apostles..
Later in Sunday, another reference to 'the ELEVEN' occurred in a context very different, - 'My eleven children in the Upper Room knew that,  and they were so deeply touched during their thanksgiving that some were in tears.' Link to the Cenacle, Pascal Meal, Mark 14:12-25.

Holy Thursday -  Alone in the church near the Blessed Sacrament.
"Tell Me that you are beginning to be more certain of the power of My love,
although you know you are unworthy.
Tell Me this to comfort Me for the ones who do not believe.
You will give Me heart’s ease.
Let us make an alliance between your poverty and My riches.
Never fail to lean on Me.
Have no confidence in yourself, not even for a moment.
Where would it lead you?
Does one call upon nothingness to help nothingness?
Who better than a father can understand his child?
My eleven children in the Upper Room knew that,
and they were so deeply touched during their thanksgiving that some were in tears.
And what about My own emotion! Adore it. It comes from my tenderness.
The next day at the same hour will I not already have died for them? For you...
Aren't the last moments of a man sentenced to death lived more intensely?"
