April 1881. - If more advanced quickly in perfection, it is because your will is not enough combined with the Search for God too yourself. At times you're afraid of yourself. Jesus bear patiently all these delays! ... Who loses in this? You! Yet, if you knew what you reserve through, as He desires to join you, would you give this your rebellious will, today and tomorrow wants no more to him who asks you with so much kindness and above all with much love!
Jesus will not leave you in peace until you've reached perfection, they want to see you. Do whatever you want, as long as your will not form one with yours, until you return in yourself and all your actions will not be carried out under His divine eyes, to please Him, you have no peace nor inner calm!
September 1882. - Jesus has done much for you and even more will in the future, but I must meet his thanks and you are very generous. The souls come to the perfection that Jesus requires of them, are the master of his heart: He does not deny them anything. When you arrived there, Jesus and you will be one. Will be the same feelings, same thoughts, the same desires. Be so good, hurry up and become a great saint to bring much glory to your only friend, waiting for that moment pour in torrents His graces upon you.
you do not make enough efforts to ensure that your interior and to keep the divine presence of your Try Jesus, strive and be helped. Jesus is waiting just a little bit 'of good will and He will do the rest. Tell yourself every day ever since Jesus gives me so many special graces, what have become? What should I be? I would be if I had always paid well? These reflections meditate for a few minutes will do good for your soul. Think seriously, because now I have told you is the good will of God that He also wants to work seriously at your perfection, since it depends on your many others.
Jesus has a great love for you who wants to fill his graces of the election, special favors, which routinely grants only to his close friends. Hasten with your prayers and your sacrifices, the happy moment which will see the divine union that Jesus wants to make with your soul.
acknowledge before this Divine Friend extension of your poverty, the abyss of your misery and let him do. The enrichment is just the most miserable of his love. His goodness shines more then. Oh! Do you love Jesus very closely adhered to him than you might imagine. Aderitevi with all the strength of your heart, so as to live only for His holy love!
For the love of Jesus, love all the people around you and those with whom you have relationships. Do not be afraid of spending it in kindness, prayers, self-sacrifice, care about them. The more a soul loves Jesus, the more it loves his fellow man.
October 30, 1881. - We always complain, because you say you want to be like all the other sisters, but have not yet finished with me! You will be obliged to listen to me until like the good Lord Do whatever you want, I still have many things to tell you and you shall know. Maybe you will become more reasonable in that regard?
December 25, 1881. - Do not give yourself pain, if not already in Heaven. It is true that I said: "There will come if not the day when you come to the perfection that God requires of you." However, do not think that you will come to high perfection which Jesus is calling you instantly. There are many degrees in perfection, and it is not the first that is expected of you. You know that Jesus loves you, although you are far from the state in which you want to see your soul. He knows, this dear friend, it would take a miracle to achieve that perfect state that He demands certain souls, and that miracle will not do it.
must get on that path slowly, sometimes so harsh nature. To achieve the goal that Jesus wants you to reach, it must be completely dead to you itself, which is not more nor desire nor self-esteem. Yet there you are there. So when you are wrongly accused, when you do not have intentions that are attributed to (you know what I allude to), well, do not these things disturb you. The good God allow all this to give you the opportunity to renounce yourself and to adhere only to Him that He wants to get to the point where nothing disturbs you in the calm inner pains, joys, setbacks, all steps indifferent . He alone, do you mean well, wants to dominate all the powers of your soul, satisfy all his desires and gratify your heart fully to you and be all in all, and this is not, you may be sure, the work a day.
No, you're not too good! In some cases it is better to give that prevail. I suggest a course of action that Jesus wants you adopt. Before giving a warning, before taking a deserved rebuke to a pupil or any other person, Gather a second, then, put in place of the one you are about to consult and act as you want about him that you did with you in a 'similar occasion. Then Jesus will be happy.
1883. - Another year past to eternity! So they all, one after the other. The days follow up to what ends the short life on earth and begins the long life of eternity! Used all your good time. Each of them can make you deserve heaven and avoid Purgatory. Your every action, carried out under the gaze of Jesus, will give a degree of glory in heaven for most, and at the same time, a greater degree of love for Jesus, each of these acts of life forms a perfect chain 'love that binds the soul ever more to him that she loves. When the last ring is formed, then Jesus breaks the weak bonds that hold the soul in the body still full of merit which was connected to the earth. So free, He unites to himself even more closely and forever blessed in eternity. Understand (thus) what a life, where each moment is for Jesus, has a pleasant, despite the passing of bitterness which can be disseminated? If
few minutes of conversation with a holy soul of Jesus can send her into a trance and make them forget all the sorrows past, what the union will be eternal? Oh! If you did, if you could understand it, as we will work tirelessly to your perfection, you, that Jesus provides all possible means to get there! Oh! If we had only five minutes of time that you lose yourself in return for investigating whether what you say is true or false, what we would do for one who desires so ardently! It is the devil that sometimes makes you blind and do not pay attention to what I say. He provides well what would be the consequences. Averted his intrigues, put in the work of, sanctify, and this year is the beginning of the perfect life that Jesus expects of you, for so long!
Earlier this year, take as a practice not to utter any word useless. Never express your opinion, except that there be forced, even with regard to useful things, speak little ... Do not ever raise your eyes out of curiosity. Every morning, Jesus has your first look, the first thought, the first word, and this is a word of gratitude and love!
the foot of the tabernacle, puts in your heart to Jesus throughout the day and converse with him until the evening. In the evening, deplore your shortcomings to his feet again, thank you for your favor ... You know what I have said in this regard.
Be very faithful to these practices. Jesus wants you to be a great purity of intention, a boundless love. Do not forgive anything. The more a soul is sacrificed, the more happy. Love is paid with love, it's true, but you also pay with gratitude the resignation and self-giving. Sacrifice, therefore, totally and gifts. The pain always precedes the love ... There is a degree of love that only those who have suffered much and suffered much to reach. I am alluding especially to the suffering of the heart. The most great suffering soul who can prove that you really love Jesus does not love her what she wants. Oh! As Jesus loves you despite your weakness and coldness! Consider how, through his grace, entice you with kindness, through the suffering, trials, cut you off (by all) and, through love, want to unite with Him so intimately that you, as it were, another Jesus
Mother O. .. lies in the depths of Purgatory. The religious souls, the priests and the people were filled with people to be served a terrible Purgatory, having abused the resources that God had placed at their disposal.
Maggio1883. - Collect. - Good God many means to achieve his goals when he wants something special to a soul. How good God is well-kept houses. He makes it clear when he pleases. Especially good for you Jesus, from all eternity, had the intention to prepare and sanctify the person you speak. We sanctify the one using the other.
The good Lord loves you, you love him. It is necessary that your marriage will become closer in this retreat, that your love will continue to grow, your will is one with that of Jesus, His interests are yours!
Why so much distressed about your Father! Everything that God does is good. But I do not He has prepared and is not he who gives it to you? Why I will ritoglierebbe? The designs of God are inscrutable. When he wants a soul to himself, what is not to unite it to himself? How many among us has not known in His power. Therefore be in your trusting Jesus not to distrust His goodness. The more you try to be his good and accepts all the more He will be generous with you.
This withdrawal must be the beginning of the great perfection to which Jesus is calling you for so long. Jesus expects much from you in this retreat: He has given you a very valuable new grace ... What you need more? Give yourselves entirely to him in return: He is the Lord of your soul. Keep watch with great care on your inner life. Always hold back heart to heart with Jesus
Not a word, not a thought, not a desire to go out to you that does not conform to His will adorable. If you knew that Jesus wants to enter into union with your soul, not hinder your plans, it opporreste resistance as you so often! I understand a good time? This great perfection makes you fear, you fear the illusion. But with Jesus, what have you to fear? He is your Father, your friend, your spouse, your More ... Did he not entitled to claim a soul what he wants without saying why? He is the great Master, Lord of all, because you want to investigate his conduct with your narrow-minded? I love his drawings and obey blindly. Here is what he requires of you, make yourself, then, with all my heart to work seriously to your sanctification. Grow in love, in tenderness for Jesus ConsolateLo, risarciteLo of all the insults it receives from the world. Love for those who do not like, fix for those who offend, ask forgiveness for those who do not think. This Jesus expects from you ... Deny him?
May 20, 1883. - Jesus shows that he loves you and in return he wants evidence of your love. Is well known to all that requires you to be so long time, we must not hesitate any longer. Give it totally. Lose yourself in Him, not to return ever done him the gift of yourself. On land everyone does in his own way, but in the world the good Lord will have us as he pleases!
There are few real friends on earth! Often we love on a whim, for interest. A slight contrast, a word, a lack of respect sometimes divides friends who seemed inseparable. This, because God did not have enough good their hearts, because only the hearts that superabundance of Jesus, may give the fullness of their friends. Every friendship, based not so in God is false, is not durable. But when Jesus has
a heart, this heart can love and do good to friends, because it is the source of friendship, pure and without admixture. This is a small reflection of the friendship of Heaven. Everything else is natural love and nothing else.
Always have the highest views of the earth. Do not ever sought or the estimate nor the friendship of anyone. Jesus is your only and he wants you to be His forever. It would be too if you gave all my heart. Love ... but for him only ...
June 1883. - Well, are you happy? Do you believe me now? I forgive you everything that you thought of me the past few days. In such circumstances could not be otherwise, in which you have no sin. Admire After leaving the goodness of Jesus do the devil that made you suffer so much ... finally landed and His holy will is accomplished, he expected this. Oh! When God has special designs on certain souls, they do not implement if not with much suffering, you have experienced once again, is not it? But you are not alone. ML
not ever be discouraged! You may have moments of boredom, of weariness, but he has the tabernacle, there opens up his soul before Jesus and ask with great confidence to be enlightened in order that he himself is the light of the souls entrusted to him. Jesus loves him and give him proof. In return, he will never do too much for a God so loving!
June 1883. - It is true that still lingers your joy to finally have found a Father? Been careful in everything you say you will do something very pleasing to God This is another good grace, take this opportunity with gratitude. It is fortunate for a soul so great to meet another and understand that this rarely happens on earth! ... Jesus meets so few generous souls in this world, there are so few who love Him ... even among its priests! He, the good Master, expect much from your Father! Oh! How big is the priest! What is its sublime mission! ... But alas! At present the few there are who understand!
August 28, 1883. - Feast of St. Augustine. - So far you have never prayed like Jesus wanted! You do not pay enough attention to all your inspiration! All too often lose sight of the still His holy presence, is why we do not advance in perfection, as He expects of you. Be watchful so hard on your inner life. For so long I'll ask from you!
August 29, 1883. - Collect. - For many years that God is behind it ... With one pretext or the other you make a deaf ear, but now it's time to pay attention to everything I said. Take advantage of these holy days of retreat and put into practice what you wrote. Consider to what extent you are (union) with Jesus, who is so good and so patient with you. Do you think that one day he might get tired of you, seeing you do so little case of spiritual graces He has given you and what you store for the future. Prove, then, to your Jesus who love Him and give Him your will as a whole. No more hesitation. Tell him that you do everything you want, but let it be said from the bottom of my heart. Holiness is less difficult than you think. Suffer more in resisting, in the fight every day against the good God that attracts, that does not suffer if you had given to him without reserve, and forever. Seven
in the evening. - Get used to talk to our Lord as the most affectionate and sincere friend. Do not Do not say anything without consulting him. For many years you have been told this. I too have told you several times today I say it again. The good Lord wants you to pay attention and especially putting it into practice. This gaze always fixed on Jesus, the soul, to grasp your smaller wishes, this divine language with which He wants to use you will not disturb or occupations v'impedirà to wait outside. Conversely, if the interior is quiet, it is impossible that it is the exterior. The internal passions will always reflect on the outside and the soul, which is watching great effort on her interior, is master of its exterior. Here is what Jesus requires of you: a life of faith and constant union with God, a humble, hidden, known to him alone ... That Jesus is everything for you! Consider everything that happens to you as so many means of which he uses to join Him more, to implement the designs it has on you. Barriers do not stand in the way, be generous. To you lacks neither energy nor the heart, begin, then, that life of renunciation, sacrifice and above all absolutely love that Jesus wants from you. Only in it you will find calm and peace that He gives you so many years!
The holy will of God is the basis of everything you have to do or suffer. Jesus expects much from you, much suffering and too much physical and spiritual love. You can not love without suffering that nature, as you well know, you have experienced in the past. Prepare for the future. The good Lord gave you everything you need to feel the pain more than anyone else. This is a mercy and a grace more. Where there are great sacrifices to make, you buy more credit.
I beg you not to put more resistance to the good designs that Jesus has for you, do not ask for more testing, I've had enough. Also feel good inside of you that Jesus wants you to be his own. Consider these things carefully at the foot of the tabernacle, see you have to do and do not hesitate any more. How many graces await you, if you want, first of all thanks to you and also for other souls. Of all this I will answer one day. Be
all of your Jesus Do not pay more attention to what can be said of you, the devil will cause him to stop along the way and allow it to detach Jesus from all that surrounds you. Strive always to your order: To fulfill all the duties, take any action in order to please Jesus is everything to us, the rest is secondary.
Be very generous, put your ego aside and Jesus ever before. Often thought of this: if you want your actions pleasing to Jesus, we must that in each of them there is always a small sacrifice, something that cost, and without this there is no merit. It is not difficult, especially for you, give Jesus such satisfaction. Therefore, we no longer believe that when something costs you a lot, there is no merit in it, quite the contrary: as long as you know it's only you and Jesus ask me every night if God is pleased with you, and I will tell. Have you suffered a lot, you will suffer even more, but in return, what was good for you Jesus and how much it will in the future!
May 1886. - It is true that no one deserves the grace of God, these are favors, but when He bestows it, you should receive with appreciation and profit. The soul of religion is necessary to the inner spirit, the life of sacrifice, purity of intention here is the synthesis of life.
Learn to respect the rule, and priests. Those who blame with the ministers of Jesus Christ, the wound in the pupil of the eye. Woe! Three times those in trouble and those who act so! What a Religious
can do more pleasing to God for the souls of their departed relatives, it is not certain prayers, as all his deeds with great purity of intention and in union with Our Lord.
crucifying Jesus on earth more than the soul which He loves, but the cross God has always sent by the sweetness combined with its bitterness. It is not the same for the crosses that come to us because of us: they shall contain only bitterness.
November 1886. - All these tests! ... The good Lord has allowed everything to get all the evidence, to infuse strength of mind and also for the triumph of His glory, His righteousness and His love. He wants the life of union with Him, repair and prayer. If you are serious interests at heart to Jesus, He will take in your heart.
Christmas 1886. - If you want to ... will soon be raised to you and me the trouble given back the freedom ...
February 1887. - When the good Lord has drawings of details of a person, when you do not want common men, gives her a great spirit, a generous heart, correct judgments, good character, a balanced text. If not found these qualities in a person, (know that) God does not want it to be anything special.
Jesus does not show all of a sudden a soul what he wants from her, she will remain scared. But reveals his secrets and shares his cross slowly and gradually that his grace makes it stronger. The good Lord loves you so special. You are His beloved daughter. What has happened to you was for your own good! Everyone must love God in a particular way, but for you there is an obligation Special: reciprocity.
June 24, 1887. - Be very close to Jesus before any action or thing that you do or say, ask advice, talk to him heart to heart as a friend who has always near you. Jesus wants your whole soul, with all his faculties and all his powers, and your heart, with all its tenderness and all her love. Does Jesus want to do with you one thing, and everything you need to thanksgiving and dedication for the next one from its Divine Heart, in this divine source that never runs out. Here's how it should act the bride of Christ, giving himself totally to Him, and above all he loves you more.
Jesus desires that make you return. Oh! If I could make notes all the graces that God holds in store, if not walk contrary to His action towards you, with powerful that you will join inseparably to Him, because of choice, with special thanks intimate. He has quite a few things to confide to yourself and for the common good.
When you can, go to the Church, make a visit to your Jesus, and here you open your heart before Him. ManifestateGli your sorrows, your joys, your sufferings, everything in fact. Talk as we talk to a bosom friend, a father, a husband. Tell him all your tenderness for him, and when you can not go to church, talk to your heart. From time to time during the day let penetrate for a few moments from His holy presence, Gather before His Majesty. Recognize your misery, but also His goodness, and thank him with great love. All day you can speak to your heart to Jesus' heart, this is what He wants and expects from you for so long.
If you are faithful to what I say, if you give yourself to do, if you seek to please your Jesus in everything, if you have him for all the delicacies of a loving heart that keeps an eye open for the soul try to know what he can to please her divine Spouse, then Jesus, in turn, confers the most intimate communications, His divine caress, his love of the Father and Spouse lover, then also you will get everything you ask. Jesus will not deny anything. You give yourself whole and He will give yourself wholly. The good Lord wants this pick puts you in that state for so long he wants to see you.
The good Lord comes to His purpose by means that are often completely unknown to us. Well, get to work with courage! Jesus, for its part, is to give you new graces; correspond to them with great generosity and especially for you for the good of the community. Good Jesus are easy to bend and shape to your liking! Listen carefully to His voice in the background of your heart and do not miss any of His graces. Your will with His will will form a lovely one! Your heart is lost in his! Soon he will turn on you your drawings, if not to put obstacles. Do not lose sight of your divine presence ... The good Lord wants you to be holy in a special way and only his. If you would like to give you to do! ... Jesus wants especially to see the good in your heart pure love, unselfish, generous, that is not afraid to suffer or seek their own comfort, and all this to please Him alone.
God does not forbid his body to heal, but there are people that He wants to heal and heal itself when he pleases. The remedies are not to great profit. For them a little mortification worth more than all the rest. Believe what I say and see. The common pathway, [1] is what Jesus wants for you that he loves in a special way.
That faith practiced minds all your actions! Trust in Jesus and His love makes you take all that he generously calls from you! Every morning when you wake up you say to your beloved: "O my Jesus, here I am to do your will, do you want me to do to please you today?". Do all the exercises of piety under the gaze of Jesus with great love. It does good to the souls only in proportion to their union with God
The good souls that God seeks reparations for the insults he receives, to love Him and we do love. He wants you to be one of them.
At some point God thwarts the plots and plans of aborting those who do not seek only His glory. Jesus, before giving a soul to an intimate union with Him, purifies it through the test, and the bigger are your designs on the soul, the greater the test. The devil knows that God has designs on you, which is why it makes you annoying and molesting from his ... Do not be discouraged. The good Lord helps you and help you. Fight bravely. Despite the efforts of hell, God will achieve His purpose.
Good God uses to give me courage, because you do not have. Should this well and agree that the nature of these little ones need encouragement. On occasion we think, because you have to drive and of souls. The good Lord gives the example of the Agony in the Garden.
Have confidence in Jesus He will never fail. Fix your usual residence in the Heart of Jesus' Love is the chain that unites your heart to His adorable Heart! This will cleanse your heart so wretched, detaches itself (by all) in contact with that heart so pure. Draw also the Divine Heart of Jesus the graces you need for others, for your office. He will not deny anything that ask with faith and love. The pain and suffering of the heart are more painful than the body. But for a soul that loves Jesus, the greatest pain is to cause every day with his own sins and ingratitude!
Ask the Heart of Jesus fortitude necessary because he implement his designs on you.
If the good Lord calls for such a great purity of soul who admits to His heaven is because He is the eternal purity, the eternal Beauty, the eternal justice, the eternal goodness and eternal perfection!
The good God allow suffering both in body and spirit, so that, dead to yourself, he can take on you His great designs, and that your own experience to know the art of perfecting others.
To set your spirit in the presence of God, take each day one of the fourteen Stations of Our Lord in His Passion, which most think. A dear Jesus is that recall to mind all the suffering He endured for us. I take holidays, to reflect, one of the glorious mysteries: the Resurrection, the Ascension. Often also think the Eucharist, the hidden life of Jesus in the tabernacle. There you will see His love above all. Remain so alone, without some who worship in most churches in the world! Wait in vain for someone to come and say to him: "I love you."
Every Sunday make your small stores for the week, in a word, try to please Jesus He will make the return.
Through Holy Communion, Jesus will connect you to him very closely and will cling to you more than it has not yet done so to anyone else. In this divine food you will find an extraordinary capacity to raise you to the perfection that Jesus requires of you.
Everything passes and passes quickly! Affanniamoci not much after things that will one day end. We aim at what will never end ... By our actions and made holy in union with Jesus, beautify our throne of Heaven. Let's do up some more steps close to Him that we contemplate and love for all eternity. Here's what should be our only job on earth. For a soul that He loves, Jesus does things that, at first glance seem impossible. Here as He will act towards you! Jesus draws you to him very gently, very gently, but at the same time, strongly. Do not resist his divine attractions.
Before long, Jesus himself will tell you what he wants from you. In the meantime, I have been asked by Him to bring His divine desires. Listen carefully to His voice speaking to you intimately into the bottom of my heart, do not deny anything and you'll get everything, because if you are generous, he will be a lot more. Have you already had the tests.
The good Lord wants His service generous souls who have no thought of their own, putting all his attention, all the good intentions in doing so love and serve to the detriment of their interests. The favors are gifts of God that He does not have to do with it. Grants to those he likes, no one should find fault. Who has the right to dictate to the divine Lord? Receive, therefore, humbly thank you that Jesus bestows special, but at the same time, with humble gratitude, without trying to investigate why.
Jesus wants you rise above all that is created, no link, not even a thread there takes twisted on the ground. We must have you to live the life of the Elect, whose only job is to enjoy, to love and be lost in God!
November 2, 1890. - Reminder: last blessing of the month of the Rosary.
I'll try to make you understand, as far as he can on the ground, what is heaven. There are always new festivals that take place without interruption, always a happy new that still has not - so it seems - never proven. It is a torrent of joy that overflows endlessly on all the Elect ... Heaven is God above all, loved God, tasted, enjoyed, and is, in short, the fullness of God, without being filled! And what
more the soul loves God on earth and reached the peak of perfection, the more God loves and understands him to Heaven!
Jesus is the true joy of the earth and the eternal joy of heaven!
Jesus will not leave you in peace until you've reached perfection, they want to see you. Do whatever you want, as long as your will not form one with yours, until you return in yourself and all your actions will not be carried out under His divine eyes, to please Him, you have no peace nor inner calm!
September 1882. - Jesus has done much for you and even more will in the future, but I must meet his thanks and you are very generous. The souls come to the perfection that Jesus requires of them, are the master of his heart: He does not deny them anything. When you arrived there, Jesus and you will be one. Will be the same feelings, same thoughts, the same desires. Be so good, hurry up and become a great saint to bring much glory to your only friend, waiting for that moment pour in torrents His graces upon you.
you do not make enough efforts to ensure that your interior and to keep the divine presence of your Try Jesus, strive and be helped. Jesus is waiting just a little bit 'of good will and He will do the rest. Tell yourself every day ever since Jesus gives me so many special graces, what have become? What should I be? I would be if I had always paid well? These reflections meditate for a few minutes will do good for your soul. Think seriously, because now I have told you is the good will of God that He also wants to work seriously at your perfection, since it depends on your many others.
Jesus has a great love for you who wants to fill his graces of the election, special favors, which routinely grants only to his close friends. Hasten with your prayers and your sacrifices, the happy moment which will see the divine union that Jesus wants to make with your soul.
acknowledge before this Divine Friend extension of your poverty, the abyss of your misery and let him do. The enrichment is just the most miserable of his love. His goodness shines more then. Oh! Do you love Jesus very closely adhered to him than you might imagine. Aderitevi with all the strength of your heart, so as to live only for His holy love!
For the love of Jesus, love all the people around you and those with whom you have relationships. Do not be afraid of spending it in kindness, prayers, self-sacrifice, care about them. The more a soul loves Jesus, the more it loves his fellow man.
October 30, 1881. - We always complain, because you say you want to be like all the other sisters, but have not yet finished with me! You will be obliged to listen to me until like the good Lord Do whatever you want, I still have many things to tell you and you shall know. Maybe you will become more reasonable in that regard?
December 25, 1881. - Do not give yourself pain, if not already in Heaven. It is true that I said: "There will come if not the day when you come to the perfection that God requires of you." However, do not think that you will come to high perfection which Jesus is calling you instantly. There are many degrees in perfection, and it is not the first that is expected of you. You know that Jesus loves you, although you are far from the state in which you want to see your soul. He knows, this dear friend, it would take a miracle to achieve that perfect state that He demands certain souls, and that miracle will not do it.
must get on that path slowly, sometimes so harsh nature. To achieve the goal that Jesus wants you to reach, it must be completely dead to you itself, which is not more nor desire nor self-esteem. Yet there you are there. So when you are wrongly accused, when you do not have intentions that are attributed to (you know what I allude to), well, do not these things disturb you. The good God allow all this to give you the opportunity to renounce yourself and to adhere only to Him that He wants to get to the point where nothing disturbs you in the calm inner pains, joys, setbacks, all steps indifferent . He alone, do you mean well, wants to dominate all the powers of your soul, satisfy all his desires and gratify your heart fully to you and be all in all, and this is not, you may be sure, the work a day.
No, you're not too good! In some cases it is better to give that prevail. I suggest a course of action that Jesus wants you adopt. Before giving a warning, before taking a deserved rebuke to a pupil or any other person, Gather a second, then, put in place of the one you are about to consult and act as you want about him that you did with you in a 'similar occasion. Then Jesus will be happy.
1883. - Another year past to eternity! So they all, one after the other. The days follow up to what ends the short life on earth and begins the long life of eternity! Used all your good time. Each of them can make you deserve heaven and avoid Purgatory. Your every action, carried out under the gaze of Jesus, will give a degree of glory in heaven for most, and at the same time, a greater degree of love for Jesus, each of these acts of life forms a perfect chain 'love that binds the soul ever more to him that she loves. When the last ring is formed, then Jesus breaks the weak bonds that hold the soul in the body still full of merit which was connected to the earth. So free, He unites to himself even more closely and forever blessed in eternity. Understand (thus) what a life, where each moment is for Jesus, has a pleasant, despite the passing of bitterness which can be disseminated? If
few minutes of conversation with a holy soul of Jesus can send her into a trance and make them forget all the sorrows past, what the union will be eternal? Oh! If you did, if you could understand it, as we will work tirelessly to your perfection, you, that Jesus provides all possible means to get there! Oh! If we had only five minutes of time that you lose yourself in return for investigating whether what you say is true or false, what we would do for one who desires so ardently! It is the devil that sometimes makes you blind and do not pay attention to what I say. He provides well what would be the consequences. Averted his intrigues, put in the work of, sanctify, and this year is the beginning of the perfect life that Jesus expects of you, for so long!
Earlier this year, take as a practice not to utter any word useless. Never express your opinion, except that there be forced, even with regard to useful things, speak little ... Do not ever raise your eyes out of curiosity. Every morning, Jesus has your first look, the first thought, the first word, and this is a word of gratitude and love!
the foot of the tabernacle, puts in your heart to Jesus throughout the day and converse with him until the evening. In the evening, deplore your shortcomings to his feet again, thank you for your favor ... You know what I have said in this regard.
Be very faithful to these practices. Jesus wants you to be a great purity of intention, a boundless love. Do not forgive anything. The more a soul is sacrificed, the more happy. Love is paid with love, it's true, but you also pay with gratitude the resignation and self-giving. Sacrifice, therefore, totally and gifts. The pain always precedes the love ... There is a degree of love that only those who have suffered much and suffered much to reach. I am alluding especially to the suffering of the heart. The most great suffering soul who can prove that you really love Jesus does not love her what she wants. Oh! As Jesus loves you despite your weakness and coldness! Consider how, through his grace, entice you with kindness, through the suffering, trials, cut you off (by all) and, through love, want to unite with Him so intimately that you, as it were, another Jesus
Mother O. .. lies in the depths of Purgatory. The religious souls, the priests and the people were filled with people to be served a terrible Purgatory, having abused the resources that God had placed at their disposal.
Maggio1883. - Collect. - Good God many means to achieve his goals when he wants something special to a soul. How good God is well-kept houses. He makes it clear when he pleases. Especially good for you Jesus, from all eternity, had the intention to prepare and sanctify the person you speak. We sanctify the one using the other.
The good Lord loves you, you love him. It is necessary that your marriage will become closer in this retreat, that your love will continue to grow, your will is one with that of Jesus, His interests are yours!
Why so much distressed about your Father! Everything that God does is good. But I do not He has prepared and is not he who gives it to you? Why I will ritoglierebbe? The designs of God are inscrutable. When he wants a soul to himself, what is not to unite it to himself? How many among us has not known in His power. Therefore be in your trusting Jesus not to distrust His goodness. The more you try to be his good and accepts all the more He will be generous with you.
This withdrawal must be the beginning of the great perfection to which Jesus is calling you for so long. Jesus expects much from you in this retreat: He has given you a very valuable new grace ... What you need more? Give yourselves entirely to him in return: He is the Lord of your soul. Keep watch with great care on your inner life. Always hold back heart to heart with Jesus
Not a word, not a thought, not a desire to go out to you that does not conform to His will adorable. If you knew that Jesus wants to enter into union with your soul, not hinder your plans, it opporreste resistance as you so often! I understand a good time? This great perfection makes you fear, you fear the illusion. But with Jesus, what have you to fear? He is your Father, your friend, your spouse, your More ... Did he not entitled to claim a soul what he wants without saying why? He is the great Master, Lord of all, because you want to investigate his conduct with your narrow-minded? I love his drawings and obey blindly. Here is what he requires of you, make yourself, then, with all my heart to work seriously to your sanctification. Grow in love, in tenderness for Jesus ConsolateLo, risarciteLo of all the insults it receives from the world. Love for those who do not like, fix for those who offend, ask forgiveness for those who do not think. This Jesus expects from you ... Deny him?
May 20, 1883. - Jesus shows that he loves you and in return he wants evidence of your love. Is well known to all that requires you to be so long time, we must not hesitate any longer. Give it totally. Lose yourself in Him, not to return ever done him the gift of yourself. On land everyone does in his own way, but in the world the good Lord will have us as he pleases! There are few real friends on earth! Often we love on a whim, for interest. A slight contrast, a word, a lack of respect sometimes divides friends who seemed inseparable. This, because God did not have enough good their hearts, because only the hearts that superabundance of Jesus, may give the fullness of their friends. Every friendship, based not so in God is false, is not durable. But when Jesus has
a heart, this heart can love and do good to friends, because it is the source of friendship, pure and without admixture. This is a small reflection of the friendship of Heaven. Everything else is natural love and nothing else.
Always have the highest views of the earth. Do not ever sought or the estimate nor the friendship of anyone. Jesus is your only and he wants you to be His forever. It would be too if you gave all my heart. Love ... but for him only ...
June 1883. - Well, are you happy? Do you believe me now? I forgive you everything that you thought of me the past few days. In such circumstances could not be otherwise, in which you have no sin. Admire After leaving the goodness of Jesus do the devil that made you suffer so much ... finally landed and His holy will is accomplished, he expected this. Oh! When God has special designs on certain souls, they do not implement if not with much suffering, you have experienced once again, is not it? But you are not alone. ML
not ever be discouraged! You may have moments of boredom, of weariness, but he has the tabernacle, there opens up his soul before Jesus and ask with great confidence to be enlightened in order that he himself is the light of the souls entrusted to him. Jesus loves him and give him proof. In return, he will never do too much for a God so loving!
June 1883. - It is true that still lingers your joy to finally have found a Father? Been careful in everything you say you will do something very pleasing to God This is another good grace, take this opportunity with gratitude. It is fortunate for a soul so great to meet another and understand that this rarely happens on earth! ... Jesus meets so few generous souls in this world, there are so few who love Him ... even among its priests! He, the good Master, expect much from your Father! Oh! How big is the priest! What is its sublime mission! ... But alas! At present the few there are who understand!
August 28, 1883. - Feast of St. Augustine. - So far you have never prayed like Jesus wanted! You do not pay enough attention to all your inspiration! All too often lose sight of the still His holy presence, is why we do not advance in perfection, as He expects of you. Be watchful so hard on your inner life. For so long I'll ask from you!
August 29, 1883. - Collect. - For many years that God is behind it ... With one pretext or the other you make a deaf ear, but now it's time to pay attention to everything I said. Take advantage of these holy days of retreat and put into practice what you wrote. Consider to what extent you are (union) with Jesus, who is so good and so patient with you. Do you think that one day he might get tired of you, seeing you do so little case of spiritual graces He has given you and what you store for the future. Prove, then, to your Jesus who love Him and give Him your will as a whole. No more hesitation. Tell him that you do everything you want, but let it be said from the bottom of my heart. Holiness is less difficult than you think. Suffer more in resisting, in the fight every day against the good God that attracts, that does not suffer if you had given to him without reserve, and forever. Seven
in the evening. - Get used to talk to our Lord as the most affectionate and sincere friend. Do not Do not say anything without consulting him. For many years you have been told this. I too have told you several times today I say it again. The good Lord wants you to pay attention and especially putting it into practice. This gaze always fixed on Jesus, the soul, to grasp your smaller wishes, this divine language with which He wants to use you will not disturb or occupations v'impedirà to wait outside. Conversely, if the interior is quiet, it is impossible that it is the exterior. The internal passions will always reflect on the outside and the soul, which is watching great effort on her interior, is master of its exterior. Here is what Jesus requires of you: a life of faith and constant union with God, a humble, hidden, known to him alone ... That Jesus is everything for you! Consider everything that happens to you as so many means of which he uses to join Him more, to implement the designs it has on you. Barriers do not stand in the way, be generous. To you lacks neither energy nor the heart, begin, then, that life of renunciation, sacrifice and above all absolutely love that Jesus wants from you. Only in it you will find calm and peace that He gives you so many years!
The holy will of God is the basis of everything you have to do or suffer. Jesus expects much from you, much suffering and too much physical and spiritual love. You can not love without suffering that nature, as you well know, you have experienced in the past. Prepare for the future. The good Lord gave you everything you need to feel the pain more than anyone else. This is a mercy and a grace more. Where there are great sacrifices to make, you buy more credit.
I beg you not to put more resistance to the good designs that Jesus has for you, do not ask for more testing, I've had enough. Also feel good inside of you that Jesus wants you to be his own. Consider these things carefully at the foot of the tabernacle, see you have to do and do not hesitate any more. How many graces await you, if you want, first of all thanks to you and also for other souls. Of all this I will answer one day. Be
all of your Jesus Do not pay more attention to what can be said of you, the devil will cause him to stop along the way and allow it to detach Jesus from all that surrounds you. Strive always to your order: To fulfill all the duties, take any action in order to please Jesus is everything to us, the rest is secondary.
Be very generous, put your ego aside and Jesus ever before. Often thought of this: if you want your actions pleasing to Jesus, we must that in each of them there is always a small sacrifice, something that cost, and without this there is no merit. It is not difficult, especially for you, give Jesus such satisfaction. Therefore, we no longer believe that when something costs you a lot, there is no merit in it, quite the contrary: as long as you know it's only you and Jesus ask me every night if God is pleased with you, and I will tell. Have you suffered a lot, you will suffer even more, but in return, what was good for you Jesus and how much it will in the future!
May 1886. - It is true that no one deserves the grace of God, these are favors, but when He bestows it, you should receive with appreciation and profit. The soul of religion is necessary to the inner spirit, the life of sacrifice, purity of intention here is the synthesis of life.
Learn to respect the rule, and priests. Those who blame with the ministers of Jesus Christ, the wound in the pupil of the eye. Woe! Three times those in trouble and those who act so! What a Religious
can do more pleasing to God for the souls of their departed relatives, it is not certain prayers, as all his deeds with great purity of intention and in union with Our Lord.
crucifying Jesus on earth more than the soul which He loves, but the cross God has always sent by the sweetness combined with its bitterness. It is not the same for the crosses that come to us because of us: they shall contain only bitterness.
November 1886. - All these tests! ... The good Lord has allowed everything to get all the evidence, to infuse strength of mind and also for the triumph of His glory, His righteousness and His love. He wants the life of union with Him, repair and prayer. If you are serious interests at heart to Jesus, He will take in your heart.
Christmas 1886. - If you want to ... will soon be raised to you and me the trouble given back the freedom ...
February 1887. - When the good Lord has drawings of details of a person, when you do not want common men, gives her a great spirit, a generous heart, correct judgments, good character, a balanced text. If not found these qualities in a person, (know that) God does not want it to be anything special.
Jesus does not show all of a sudden a soul what he wants from her, she will remain scared. But reveals his secrets and shares his cross slowly and gradually that his grace makes it stronger. The good Lord loves you so special. You are His beloved daughter. What has happened to you was for your own good! Everyone must love God in a particular way, but for you there is an obligation Special: reciprocity.
June 24, 1887. - Be very close to Jesus before any action or thing that you do or say, ask advice, talk to him heart to heart as a friend who has always near you. Jesus wants your whole soul, with all his faculties and all his powers, and your heart, with all its tenderness and all her love. Does Jesus want to do with you one thing, and everything you need to thanksgiving and dedication for the next one from its Divine Heart, in this divine source that never runs out. Here's how it should act the bride of Christ, giving himself totally to Him, and above all he loves you more. Jesus desires that make you return. Oh! If I could make notes all the graces that God holds in store, if not walk contrary to His action towards you, with powerful that you will join inseparably to Him, because of choice, with special thanks intimate. He has quite a few things to confide to yourself and for the common good.
When you can, go to the Church, make a visit to your Jesus, and here you open your heart before Him. ManifestateGli your sorrows, your joys, your sufferings, everything in fact. Talk as we talk to a bosom friend, a father, a husband. Tell him all your tenderness for him, and when you can not go to church, talk to your heart. From time to time during the day let penetrate for a few moments from His holy presence, Gather before His Majesty. Recognize your misery, but also His goodness, and thank him with great love. All day you can speak to your heart to Jesus' heart, this is what He wants and expects from you for so long.
If you are faithful to what I say, if you give yourself to do, if you seek to please your Jesus in everything, if you have him for all the delicacies of a loving heart that keeps an eye open for the soul try to know what he can to please her divine Spouse, then Jesus, in turn, confers the most intimate communications, His divine caress, his love of the Father and Spouse lover, then also you will get everything you ask. Jesus will not deny anything. You give yourself whole and He will give yourself wholly. The good Lord wants this pick puts you in that state for so long he wants to see you.
The good Lord comes to His purpose by means that are often completely unknown to us. Well, get to work with courage! Jesus, for its part, is to give you new graces; correspond to them with great generosity and especially for you for the good of the community. Good Jesus are easy to bend and shape to your liking! Listen carefully to His voice in the background of your heart and do not miss any of His graces. Your will with His will will form a lovely one! Your heart is lost in his! Soon he will turn on you your drawings, if not to put obstacles. Do not lose sight of your divine presence ... The good Lord wants you to be holy in a special way and only his. If you would like to give you to do! ... Jesus wants especially to see the good in your heart pure love, unselfish, generous, that is not afraid to suffer or seek their own comfort, and all this to please Him alone.
God does not forbid his body to heal, but there are people that He wants to heal and heal itself when he pleases. The remedies are not to great profit. For them a little mortification worth more than all the rest. Believe what I say and see. The common pathway, [1] is what Jesus wants for you that he loves in a special way.
That faith practiced minds all your actions! Trust in Jesus and His love makes you take all that he generously calls from you! Every morning when you wake up you say to your beloved: "O my Jesus, here I am to do your will, do you want me to do to please you today?". Do all the exercises of piety under the gaze of Jesus with great love. It does good to the souls only in proportion to their union with God
The good souls that God seeks reparations for the insults he receives, to love Him and we do love. He wants you to be one of them.
At some point God thwarts the plots and plans of aborting those who do not seek only His glory. Jesus, before giving a soul to an intimate union with Him, purifies it through the test, and the bigger are your designs on the soul, the greater the test. The devil knows that God has designs on you, which is why it makes you annoying and molesting from his ... Do not be discouraged. The good Lord helps you and help you. Fight bravely. Despite the efforts of hell, God will achieve His purpose.
Good God uses to give me courage, because you do not have. Should this well and agree that the nature of these little ones need encouragement. On occasion we think, because you have to drive and of souls. The good Lord gives the example of the Agony in the Garden.
Have confidence in Jesus He will never fail. Fix your usual residence in the Heart of Jesus' Love is the chain that unites your heart to His adorable Heart! This will cleanse your heart so wretched, detaches itself (by all) in contact with that heart so pure. Draw also the Divine Heart of Jesus the graces you need for others, for your office. He will not deny anything that ask with faith and love. The pain and suffering of the heart are more painful than the body. But for a soul that loves Jesus, the greatest pain is to cause every day with his own sins and ingratitude!
Ask the Heart of Jesus fortitude necessary because he implement his designs on you.
If the good Lord calls for such a great purity of soul who admits to His heaven is because He is the eternal purity, the eternal Beauty, the eternal justice, the eternal goodness and eternal perfection!
The good God allow suffering both in body and spirit, so that, dead to yourself, he can take on you His great designs, and that your own experience to know the art of perfecting others.
To set your spirit in the presence of God, take each day one of the fourteen Stations of Our Lord in His Passion, which most think. A dear Jesus is that recall to mind all the suffering He endured for us. I take holidays, to reflect, one of the glorious mysteries: the Resurrection, the Ascension. Often also think the Eucharist, the hidden life of Jesus in the tabernacle. There you will see His love above all. Remain so alone, without some who worship in most churches in the world! Wait in vain for someone to come and say to him: "I love you."
Every Sunday make your small stores for the week, in a word, try to please Jesus He will make the return.
Through Holy Communion, Jesus will connect you to him very closely and will cling to you more than it has not yet done so to anyone else. In this divine food you will find an extraordinary capacity to raise you to the perfection that Jesus requires of you.
Everything passes and passes quickly! Affanniamoci not much after things that will one day end. We aim at what will never end ... By our actions and made holy in union with Jesus, beautify our throne of Heaven. Let's do up some more steps close to Him that we contemplate and love for all eternity. Here's what should be our only job on earth. For a soul that He loves, Jesus does things that, at first glance seem impossible. Here as He will act towards you! Jesus draws you to him very gently, very gently, but at the same time, strongly. Do not resist his divine attractions.
Before long, Jesus himself will tell you what he wants from you. In the meantime, I have been asked by Him to bring His divine desires. Listen carefully to His voice speaking to you intimately into the bottom of my heart, do not deny anything and you'll get everything, because if you are generous, he will be a lot more. Have you already had the tests.
The good Lord wants His service generous souls who have no thought of their own, putting all his attention, all the good intentions in doing so love and serve to the detriment of their interests. The favors are gifts of God that He does not have to do with it. Grants to those he likes, no one should find fault. Who has the right to dictate to the divine Lord? Receive, therefore, humbly thank you that Jesus bestows special, but at the same time, with humble gratitude, without trying to investigate why.
Jesus wants you rise above all that is created, no link, not even a thread there takes twisted on the ground. We must have you to live the life of the Elect, whose only job is to enjoy, to love and be lost in God!
November 2, 1890. - Reminder: last blessing of the month of the Rosary.
I'll try to make you understand, as far as he can on the ground, what is heaven. There are always new festivals that take place without interruption, always a happy new that still has not - so it seems - never proven. It is a torrent of joy that overflows endlessly on all the Elect ... Heaven is God above all, loved God, tasted, enjoyed, and is, in short, the fullness of God, without being filled! And what
more the soul loves God on earth and reached the peak of perfection, the more God loves and understands him to Heaven!
Jesus is the true joy of the earth and the eternal joy of heaven!
