What is life compared to that day that will have no evening for the elect, that evening will not have day to the wicked? He loves everything about the land, people attach themselves to everything but to Him who alone ought to have our love and to whom we refuse it. The Tabernacle of Jesus waits for souls to love Him and finds none. Just one in a thousand loves him as you should love! Love him you; risarciteLo so guilty of this indifference that exists in the world!
What is Purgatory?
read what the Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us:
III. The Final Purification, or Purgatory
1030 Those who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, although they are assured of their eternal salvation, but are subjected, after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.
1031 The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned. The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence [Cf Denz. -Schönm., 1304] and Trent [Cf. , 1820, 1580]. The Tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture [cf for example, 1 Cor 3:15; 1031 1 Pet 1.7] speaks of a fire purifier.
As for certain lesser faults, we must believe that, before the Final Judgement, a purifying fire, He who is truth says that if someone utters blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, he will not be forgiven, either in this century, nor in the future (Matt. 12:31). From this statement we understand that certain offenses can be forgiven in this world, but certain others in the coming century [St. Gregory the Great, Dialogues, 4, 39].
1032 This teaching is also based on the practice of prayer for the dead, already speaks in Sacred Scripture: "Therefore [Judas Maccabeus] made atonement for the dead, because they were delivered from their sin "(2Mac 12.45). From the earliest times, the Church has honored the memory of the dead and offered for their votes, especially in the Eucharistic sacrifice, [Cf Council of Lyons II: Denz. Schönm-., 856] that, once purified, may attain the beatific vision of God The Church also commends almsgiving, indulgences and works of penance undertaken on behalf of the deceased.
will give them help and commemorate them. If Job's sons were purified by sacrifice of their father, [CF 1.5 Gb] why should we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Do not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer them our prayers for [St. John Chrysostom Homiliae in primam to Philippenses, 41, 5: PG 61, 594-595].
* * * * * * *
During the 20 centuries of Church history, God has allowed a number of times that the souls in purgatory appeared on earth to ask for prayers for holy people and help them make faster the purification. What follows is the story of one of these apparitions. The original text is in French ("Le Manuscrit du Purgatoire") with the imprimatur of Joseph Rev.mo Palica, Archiep. Philippens., Vic.

A Manuscript on Purgatory
SISTER MARY OF THE CROSS
Introduction
To respond to the desire that was expressed, the direction of the Bulletin "Notre Dame de la Bonne Mort" (Tinchebray - Orne - France) publishes, with all the reserves controlled by our Holy Mother the Church according to the decree of Urban VIII, the manuscript as a mere historical document. The manuscript text is an example informed by a zealous priest, very zealous and devoted missionary, on the conversations of a nun with a soul in Purgatory.
First, no one can deny a priori the possibility and the occurrence of the apparitions of the souls in Purgatory to living people. These kinds of appearances are not uncommon and the stories the report there, abound in the lives of saints. We will cite only one example borrowed from the life of St. Margaret Marie Alacoque [1] .
"When I was in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament on the feast of Corpus Domini, a person wrapped in a fire suddenly appeared before me. The sorry state when I saw that she was in purgatory to pay me copious tears. He said he was the soul of Monaco Benedictine who had once received my confession and who had advised me to take the Holy Communion (often?). That is why God had permitted him to come to me for relief in his penis. He asked me to offer for him all the hardships and sufferings of three months. After obtaining permission from the Mother Superior, I did what I asked. He told me that the root cause of his suffering was to have preferred his own interests to the glory of God el'aver given too much importance to its good reputation, and the second was the lack of charity towards his brothers and the third over- attachment to the creatures. "
" It would be hard for me to express what I had to suffer during those three months. He never leaves me, and I felt like it was wrapped in fire with pain so vivid that I could not help but groan and weep almost incessantly. My superior, moved with compassion, told me to do hard penance, in particular the rules. Finally, after three months, I saw the whole soul filled with joy and glory. He was going to enjoy eternal happiness, and in thanking me said that he would pray for me before God "
The testimony of theologians, documented historically verifiable facts are neither fewer nor less valid: there is enough to mention, among many others, the canon of the Divine Mystic M. Ribet, (vol. II, ch. VIII), and, more generally, rightly appreciated the works of the leading teachers of mystical theology.
God allows these apparitions and these events for the relief of souls who come to beg for our sympathy, and also for our instruction in order to reveal the effects and penalties of divine justice for the crimes that we read. A collection of several appearances, published by Bishop Palafox y Mendoza Bishop of Osma, Spain, this leads one suggestive title "Light for the experience of the living dead." One could not better express and justify the reason of providential events with which the suffering souls in Purgatory are turning to live, imploring their mercy and ask for their intercession. [2]
It should however note that the facts and stories for each of these events have only a human authority. The Church has not taken a decision. They are exposed only as historical documents.
Manuscript
Its authenticity
The manuscript that we have hands contains very interesting information on the afterlife, particularly in Purgatory. This information is interspersed with numerous tips for spiritual direction.
Its authenticity is unquestionable. Custodian of the same is Sister Mary of the Cross, born Elisa Sofia Clementine Hebert, born in Néhou-St-Georges (diocese of Coutances) i1 1 December 1840.
He lost his father at the age of 6 years. At 11 he received his First Communion and Confirmation in the Augustinian convent of Valognes, where he was one of his religious maternal aunt, Angela Quettier Sr., who was later to become Superior of the convent and be example to the death of building.
the age of 18 years Elisa returned to the Convent of Valognes, as a novice. On May 15, 1861 made his religious profession. In 1884 nearly all 'was unanimously elected assistant and the following year became the Mother Prefect.
In 1904, due to the expulsion of religious orders from France, driven from her convent, she found refuge with some cousins \u200b\u200bin the small village of Vauvicard, common Quettehou. He was 63 years. A few years later had to reach Cherbourg, where he lived together with another cousin. Here S. Pius X, on its own motion, granted her the privilege of a private oratory, with the possibility of retaining the Blessed Sacrament.
died in Cherbourg in May 1917. He is buried in the family tomb in Quettehou.
raged in 1871 about the Community of Valognes a very serious epidemic that kills several victims including a young 36 year old nun Sister Maria Gabriella. "The cure me - told us of an older sister named Gertrude Valognes - Sister Maria Gabriella in a few hours of life was taken. This act of selflessness - the same nun said - maybe he deserved, as she says later, eternal salvation ".
The young nun, in fact, was not so supernaturally perfect, that was true of Sister Mary of the Cross reproaches enough Frequently, to which her back, "Well, if I go to purgatory, I will draw you out." He did not think that really would be.
November 1873. Sister Mary of the Cross is in jail. Suddenly she hears moans long ... "Oh, exclaims a prey to fear, who are you ... You m'incutete afraid! ... Especially not appear, but tell me who you are." No answer ... Impressed more than ever, speaks to the Superior (his aunt) which do not show point surprise and says simply: "It is a soul in Purgatory, pray for it."
This was done, but to no avail. The wailing continued, becoming ever closer. Sr. Mary of the Cross he was appalled. He was afraid of being the devil's lure: she did not like the extraordinary ways, wanted to follow the ordinary way. In Manuscript
find references to these concerns, in his will. Again in 1880 expressed these doubts.
On February 15, 1874 it suffered the first interview. And so it was that until November of 1890 between the soul of Sister Maria Gabriella, and Sister Mary of the Cross there were the mysterious reports that it gave to the precious manuscript, of which we undertake the publication.

Reliability of Manuscript
It results:
1 - From the very person of Sister Mary Cross.
All those who knew her agree that it has never ceased to practice, and to the heroic, all the Christian virtues and religious. Director of
Educandato enjoyed the students of such influence that all the survivors (and still are many) agree in saying that his words and his actions had a profound influence on them. They qualify as the "Santa".
All the witnesses unanimously say that Sister Mary of the Cross was ready with intelligent, well-educated, perfect balance and absolute common sense. Precious
his reluctance to fly a route that was not that common and stubbornness in thinking that it was a trap the devil. However, despite this reluctance, she profited greatly for his spiritual progress of the requests they receive: they are authentic his sisters and notes taken during the Spiritual Exercises.
2 - The authority of RSVPs.
His spiritual director Preveli the RP, the Fathers of Pontigny, then Superior General of her congregation, in a letter dated November 4, 1912 from Hitchin (England), she sent us confirmation that he was accurately informed of the community of nuns Mary of the Cross with his old companion: "Tell me, he says, your loved one afflicted, who long to be engulfed in the glory of His Beloved! ... There has then abandoned? ... That there is still comfort in the killing?
"You have continued to write his communications? My part, I have carefully preserved the old ones and I re-read quite a few times."
It is therefore clear that the estimated range communications received and is likely to not judge those without good evidence. And here are other valuable evidence: The
can. Dubosq, former superior of the Major Seminary of Bayeux and promoter of the faith in the canonical process of beatification and canonization of St. Teresa of the Infant Jesus
can. Gontier, the official censor of the books in the diocese of Bayeux and author of works greatly appreciated. An eminent
Master of Theology Mysticism great extent, that we must respect the anonymity for reasons unrelated to the subject we are dealing with, but which we can say that his good books have earned the following praise of S. Pius X: "The educated men make a proper tribute to your knowledge and your experience" (Letter of December 13, 1908).
After mature consideration of the manuscript called Reverend did not hesitate to say that it did not contain anything contrary agl'insegnamenti of faith, nothing that was not in perfect harmony with the principles of spiritual life and edification of souls.
with satisfaction noted that Sr. Mary of the Cross, with the better judgments, and the largest common sense, was thereby protected from the deflection of a vivid imagination and too dangerous.
also found, confirming their view that Sr. Mary of the Cross had done everything possible to avoid the nuisance for her visits, she had protested, wondering if this is not a punizio-imposed on them from heaven, she was the events so extraordinary as not knowing what to think and, lastly, that he had made many objections to the appearance that they can not in any way be attributed to her intention of having invented or imagined the events of which he was the object.
Finally cited theologians were strongly affected:
a) by the great lesson of Christian charity which clearly came from all over the unfolding of the article: one part fact, Sister Maria Gabriella, in the Convent of Valognes, by its conduct had very little religious suffer Sr. Mary of the Cross, which was responsible to recall to duty, and on the other, just to Sr. Mary of the Cross, by the will of God, she had to call after the death to be freed from purgatory;
b) the fact that the lights given to Sister Mary Cross became much more vivid and more accurate, as Sister Maria Gabriella was purified;
c) the progress made by Sister Mary of the Cross in the work of your sanctification; considerable progress, they did say you can. Dubosq: "By publishing the manuscript of Sister Mary of the Cross - and I want you to do it - v'avviate to a cause of beatification."
In short, the eminent theologians consulted unanimously concluded that the manuscript of Sr. Mary of the Cross embodies the perfect proof of authenticity, so that was full of substance and value to the trust.
CONCLUSION
The Manuscript of Sister Mary of the Cross, "Manuscript on Purgatory" for certification of qualified candidates is presented to us - from one side and human history - with all the guarantees of credibility that you may need .
The Management of the "Bulletin de Notre-Dame de la Bonne Mort" is pleased to publish the edifying and impressive content and voice beyond the grave that you will hear, revealing to the justice and mercy in purgatory, giving us advice piety and holiness, of which the manuscript is full, it will be for us a bright light on the orientation of our life towards the path of eternity. And do not doubt that
This "light to the living experience of the dead" for many of our associates a school eloquent of the good life and, thereby, a healthy and effective preparation for the good death.

In all that follows, the claims made are presumably those of Sister Maria Gabriella (the suffering soul from Purgatory). Sometimes she is approached by Sister Mary of the Cross. For simplicity, the quotes are omitted. Applications of Sister Mary of the Cross will be given.
The text of the manuscript (Statements Sister Maria Gabriella)
The Mother Superior is in heaven from the day of his death, because she has suffered much and was very charitable.
If you were as perfect as God wills, He would have to bestow many thanks! The good Lord wants you to be holier than many others.
Reverend DL is in Purgatory, because he loved too much to preach retreats and anywhere! ... Yes, it was a good thing, but neglected his parish.
The good Lord will like what you do for all the souls in Purgatory as if you did for one, he applying your intention.
Currently I am the one who suffers most because I was not faithful to my vocation.
The Way of the Cross is the best prayer after Mass. [3] I suffer more than Sister .... because she was faithful to his calling, the illness had exacerbated his character and then was ill-advised. I can not give any outward sign. The good Lord will not allow it, I was too guilty. Because I have displeased God and it is you want to pray for me! You can also say to Sister ... to which I also visited the Mother Superior and sorrow that I have done so much suffering ... If she could to celebrate Masses in my vote. Say a few rosaries for me! You do well your meditations, because I was not at all. Say your good office, because I was very distracted during mine. Modesty is strictly observed everywhere, because I was always uplifted my eyes to see what I saw there was no need !.... Acts of love! And a great obedience to the Mother Superior, I hurt so much! Rosario
few for me! Your meditations well done, because I did not at all! The office played well, because I do not act well! A great modesty for all, because I always kept my eyes did not have to get up to see what I saw! ... Some spiritual elevation, and a great submission to the Mother Superior that I suffer so much! Poor Mother Superior! ... (Ten or fifteen times repeated).
Alas! if you knew how I suffer! Pray for me, please, suffer intensely everywhere. Alas! My God, you are merciful! Nobody can imagine what Purgatory. You have to be good and have mercy on the souls! Some good advice? The Way of the Cross. On the ground, always suffer in body and spirit and often with both!
Quanta happiness in Heaven! There is a distance so great between Purgatory and Heaven! Sometimes we can taste like an echo of the joy that the blessed in heaven, but it is almost a punishment, because it awakens in us a great desire to see God! In Heaven, pure light, in Purgatory, profound darkness!
The good Lord loves you more than many others ... He was not there as evidence?
Mother E. is in Heaven. It was hidden and very inner soul!
But no! I'm not the devil! Sister MG I'll have to request that I will be in heaven. After, I will pray for you myself.
Yes, I can pray for you right now and I'll do it every day. You will see that the souls in Purgatory are not ungrateful! The major culprits do not see the Blessed Virgin. When you free a soul from Purgatory, is a great joy for God himself. What you read in this respect is true.
On Easter Sunday, I have some 'relief (in the penis). If you watch with
care about you, thanks to the good God grant that has not ever done to anyone. You can say your breviary for many at the same time as if recitaste for each of them, making sure, before reciting it, to express your intention, and you all will share as if you said to each of them.
There is a particular punishment in Purgatory for the religious who have displeased their superiors: Purgatory is terrible for them. They too will see that it happened to me!
March 24, 1874 (2nd Sunday after Easter). - Tomorrow go as often as you can before the Blessed Sacrament. Since I will go with us, I will have the happiness of being close to Yes, good God, this is my relief.
March 25, 1874 (Annunciation) - This is the second in Purgatory. From the day I die I was in the first, if you suffer from pain very large. In the second we suffer a lot, but much less in the first. Always be a support for your Superior. Do not talk often, wait until you ask himself to answer.
May 1874. - I'm in the second Purgatory since the day of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin. That day I also saw for the first time the Holy Virgin [4] , because in the former do not see it. The vision of you c'infonde courage also speaks to us this good Mother of Heaven. During the time that we see our suffering we feel decreased.
Ah! How I wish to go to heaven! Oh! Who suffer martyrdom after knowing the good Lord!
What I think? The good Lord makes it possible for your sake and for my relief! ... Listen carefully what you say, "The good Lord has to bestow great graces. He wants you to save a great number of souls by your advice and your good example. If you conduct with your metteste obstacle, one day you answer to all these souls that you could save! It is true that you are not worthy, but because the good Lord allows everything ... He is the Master and distributes his grace to whom He will.
do well to pray and pray to St. Michele. hour Death was happy to have had some confidence in the Saints, so that they are our protectors from the good God in that terrible moment.
Do not be afraid to remind your young girls all the great truths of salvation. The cores often need to be shaken, this more than ever!
The good Lord wants you doniate fully to him. He loves you more than many others. Consequently will give you even more thanks. (He is well-Master!). To you, it will be easier 1'amarLo even more intensely. Do not neglect any of the graces which God bestows. You live only for the good Lord Promoting the glory everywhere. How well can you do souls! Do not do anything except to please the good God before every action, Gather yourself a time to see if what you are going to do He will accept. Everything about Jesus! Oh, love him very much!
Yes, I suffer but my greatest torment is not seeing the good God, this is a continuous martyrdom that makes me suffer more than the fire of purgatory. If from now on you will love God as He wants, you will experience a little 'What has happened languor that makes you want to join the object of his love, good Jesus!
Yes, we sometimes see St. Joseph, but not as often as the Holy Virgin.
I must become indifferent everything except the good Lord's in how you reach the peak of perfection to which Jesus is calling you. Mother
I. had no benefit from celebrating Mass in his suffrage made. The religious have no right to dispose of their property, it goes against poverty. If you do well
prayer the souls entrusted to you will feel the benefit. The good Lord never denies the grace that is asked in a prayer well done.
The Purgatory of the Religious lasts longer and is more severe than that of people in the world because they have abused many more thanks. The good Lord has allowed the deceased and the Mother Superior got it, as there are in Purgatory many religious abandoned (their own fault, of course!) And they no longer believed. The late Mother Superior told me that if you could, in the community, to celebrate a Mass from time to time in their intention, the reason God would be well satisfied. You say this to the Mother Superior. Yes, God loves the Mother Superior. You know who gave her a heavy cross to bear, here is the best proof of his love for her.
We can not imagine the pain you suffer in Purgatory! In the world no one thinks about it. Even religious communities forget it. For this reason God wants there to pray especially for the poor souls in Purgatory, which s'inculchi this devotion to students, so that they in turn talk about it in the world.
Fear not the slightest effort. When it comes to the good God, sacrificed everything for him!
Obey promptly to your superior, moved as she likes. Be very humble. Humble always, to the center of the earth if it could.
M. is in Purgatory because often, with his cunning words, the good that has hindered the more they could do. Take
practice as the presence of God and the right intention. The dedicated souls looking for God to love Him for Himself. There are very few! He wants you to be the number of its true friends. Many people love the good God, so believe, but I love it for themselves! That's all!
No! In Purgatory we look good, then God would be heaven! Once a person tries really, sincerely, for love, God in his heart, he will not allow it to remain disappointed.
is true, but since the good God makes His graces abound where there often abounded malice ... because you refuse you? Give all, Sacrifice, sacrificed for the good God! You can never do enough for him! Think about that only more of his mercy is poured out on others. Have no respect for human, even in respect of the elderly sisters. You always talk when it comes to defending your Superior. Good God does not make use of his good friends to try and make others suffer. Thank him for not being in the number of others. It is better to be anvil hammer! We must never tire of suffering in body and in spirit, as soon as you have met in the past. Your crown has just begun.
June 1874. - When you lift a storm caused to suffer a soul, you notice that all of this soon disappears! The devil has followers everywhere ... even in the convent! No, I do not see God when he is exposed, I feel her presence. I see it as you are with the eyes of faith, but our faith is more alive than yours. We know what the good Lord! Always have the God present in you. Tell him all as a friend and be very vigilant within.
To prepare well for Holy Communion should be the first love, love in thanksgiving, love always. The good Lord wants you to live only for Him, who think only of Him, that do not want Him Put to death, your spirit, eyes, tongue, this will be more pleasing to God of corporal mortification, which often come from our their will. We must act with God as we act with a father, a very affectionate friend, with a very dear husband. Should we put in the tenderness of your heart on Jesus alone, all of it, whole on him! Yes, throughout eternity, will sing the mercies infinite (God) about you. You have to love Jesus so much good in your heart that He can find a nice home where you rest, so to speak, from the offense that gets everywhere. I must love Him for indifferent, for souls and for you weak in the first place, in a word: you must love him so much, that Valognes, yours is a striking example ... It is true that Mother Teresa and Saint Eustace, have loved much, but you, you gave him the sorrows, you have to love him more compared to those innocent souls.
December 12. - If I love a lot, God will not deny anything. When one really loves a its like, you know that goes round and round on all sides around him to snatch a "yes" on what it wants and always gets ... The same thing will happen with God concerning you. He will grant you all that we ask for.
The good Lord wants you deal with him alone, his love, and to do his holy will. Although covering the good Lord .. must also take care of souls. There is great merit to save only themselves. The good Lord requires of you a great perfection that does not require so many others!
February 1875. - Be very vigilant within, your small penis been reserved only for Jesus. He may well replace all that you took off. Your life must be one of constant interior acts of love, of mortification, but God only knows, do not do anything extraordinary life very hidden, very hidden, very union with Jesus your God wants who love Him in a unique way. If no obstacles stand in the way to her charms, he has to indulge in extraordinary, which still has not granted to anyone. He loves you in a special manner. You will not you ever noticed? To us adore his designs, without trying to penetrate. He hath done to souls what he likes best. Be always very humble, very hidden. Do not take charge of anyone, but only to what concerns you, your own sanctification.
No! You should not have too many relations with ... She is too expansive and too talkative. It does not require that the good Lord to you.
's not well so be wary of your The Jesus You have given everything and are sure about this ... everything that has happened, it has allowed him .. Love
very good God! Oh, how happy are the souls who possess this treasure! Your great personal worth, during life, is not the absence of Jesus, but a great sorrow for all the troubles in the past recatiGli, sorrow arising from the superabundance of graces that He has filled and that you ricolmerà, and 'inability to reciprocate all the love that you would like!
can also get up at four bedtime and the other sisters at the same time, unless you're seriously ill. I assure you that they do not feel disadvantaged, because more or less half an hour is not much, but a source of edification.
Do not go for the slightest thing to complain to anyone, even with the Superior. Sh'd Codest little sufferings to yourself and to your Jesus, whom you have to say everything. Do not take charge of your health too. The good Lord will give you enough to be able to serve.
May 14, 1875. - In making the withdrawal you have the intention not to miss any of the graces that God bestows, and always follow the impulse of these graces, to have a spirit of faith and also very large a large gathering. For a long time I insist on this. You must always stay, especially during your actions, so collection in yourself as you are during the thanksgiving after Holy Communion. Thank the good Lord for all the graces He has given you and what gives you every day. You think every morning at the end of meditation. Pray to Him for what I said yesterday ... Never do anything, without collecting a moment, and without seeking advice from Jesus who is in your heart ... You understand me ... Oh! certainly, I really love the good God, but as a soul is purified, that it gradually approaches the heaven, even if his love is gradually increasing. Often think that all the love God has for you. Be very faithful to all the inspirations of grace. Every day, start again as if you had not done anything yet, never get discouraged.
May 18, 1875. - Oh! how small is the number of true religious who really have the spirit of their state! There is pretty much one in fifty. We must at all costs that you are inside Of this! How great is the responsibility of a superior, for a novice master, of a teacher! What account to render to God!
As we will be liberated, m'intenderete more clearly, and when I am completely, it will become for you a second guardian angel! But you'll see an angel!
Mother
N. ... is still in Purgatory. She acknowledged many people in the Community without a vocation that introduces you to relaxation. It is a great science to discern the spirits. If you did pay more attention to subjects that you receive, you do not have many problems in communities.
June 20, 1875. - God does not demand more than we can. He wants his only full hearts. To get his due, both for you and for the Community, it has to Renounce yourself from morning to night, in anything you seek of the same, everything is well hidden from the eyes of the creatures, and God knows everything and See your little daily sacrifices, He Only, you know!
disgust of many things you try, the good Lord allows it, so that through this, you buy credit. Pay close attention to this and do not leave anything to lose. Yes, it is true, but there will be greater glory, in a sense, for the good Jesus, to seek glory by a person who has not always been her friend, and as for you, a lot more confusion to see that good God, even your spiritual infirmities, we chose to serve his designs. Similarly, in return you will need to sacrifice and v'immoliate.
know why the good Lord does not grant you this the thanks that you ask? The fact that you do not have enough trust in him is also true that too easily forget the great graces that Jesus gives you. He will follow closely all day, and you subtract more than you can with him. We must not behave like that with a God so good and so good especially with you. Consider yourself at any time, examine your heart to see if you please the good God Given also if you do something that can cause pain. This is what will attract more and more on the looks of you who are blessed by good you have to love Jesus so much that the good God, here recently, he found a pleasant stay in your heart, where they can, so to speak, to rest. I must tell you this good Jesus himself the his penis, those that every day the world makes him suffer, and, on your part, it is required that shows him so much love that He will remain consulate.
August 14, 1875. - The good Lord does not want to listen yourself. Have full confidence in him, no I told so many times? Perhaps he can give you, despite your weakness, the forces required to serve? Why so beware of his power and goodness?
August 15, 1875. - Yes, we have seen the Holy Virgin. She went up to Heaven with many souls, but I will remain. Feel hot? Ah! if you knew what heat there is in Purgatory comparison of your own! A short prayer makes us so good! There refreshes like a glass of cold water given to a person who has very thirsty.
Love everyone, but not fully trust in anyone, in anyone, because Jesus wants him to be just your great confidant. Everything for Him and for Him alone. Fulfill all your actions under the gaze of the Good God I've already told consult it before every thing you do or say. Oh! then, so many thanks to rain down on you! Your life is a life of faith and love, and if you do so ... you know what I told you about it. Do not do anything to make you see outside. (Not to offend charity) avoid the company of those of your sisters, who are too expansive, there is a lack of charity! As to you, take charge only of what concerns you. Forget yourself. Never say your opinion, but you're forced to do so. Attend the only person who should be the motive of your whole life. Jesus! ... Yes, Jesus from morning to evening and from evening to morning!
August 20. - Collect. - Alas! I complain because I suffer more than usual ... the fact that once I have abused these days of grace and salvation, and they are punished to the present. Fulfill all your actions in the eyes of God, with simplicity, trying to please Him alone in the world. Until you come to this detachment from everything not to heed to him alone, he will not leave you in peace. You must be a rule for living throughout the Community. I must, to see you, it can be said of you: "Here's the rule." Even more, you must be, as it were, another Jesus, that reproduces in all your conduct, as far as possible to a creature, Jesus himself.
September 7, 1875. - Good God, though very great, is not it?, Not ashamed to be familiar with the soul that loves Him and go with her down to the smallest detail in its case. What goodness! But yes, it is true that in our soul there is something intimate that only God understands and that can not be said that to him alone?
