| I went before the Blessed Sacrament; and when I
immersed myself in prayer of thanksgiving, I heard these words in my
soul: My child you are My delight, you are the
comfort of My Heart. I grant you as many graces as you can hold. As
often as you want to make Me happy, speak to the world about My great
and unfathomable mercy. (164) |
|
| A few weeks before I was told about the
probation, I entered the chapel for a moment and Jesus said to me, At
this very moment the superiors are deciding which sisters are going to
take perpetual vows. Not all of them will be granted this grace, but
this is their own fault. He who does not take advantage of small
graces will not receive great ones. But to you, my child, this grace
is being given. (165) |
|
| Act like a beggar who does not
back away when he gets more alms [than he asked for], but offers
thanks the more fervently. You too should not back away and say that
you are not worthy of receiving greater graces when I give them to
you. I know you are unworthy, but rejoice all the more and take as
many treasures from My Heart as you can carry, for then you will
please Me more. And I will tell you one more thing: Take these graces
not only for yourself, but also for others; that is, encourage the
souls with whom you come in contact to trust in My infinite mercy. Of,
how I love those souls who have complete confidence in Me. I will do
everything for them. (294) |
|
| The Lord God grants His graces in two ways; by
inspiration and by enlightenment. if we ask God for a grace, He will
give it to us; but let us be willing to accept it. And in order to
accept it, self-denial is needed. Love does not consist in words or
feelings, but in deeds. It is an act of the will; it is a gift; that
is to say, a giving. The reason, the will, the heart - these three
faculties must be exercised during prayer. (392) |

| 1938. As I was praying to the
living Heart of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament for the
intention of a certain priest, Jesus suddenly gave me
knowledge of His goodness and said to me, I will give him nothing that is
beyond his strength. (1607) |

| Write for
the benefit of religious souls that it delights Me to
come to their hearts in Holy Communion. But if there is
anyone else in such a heart, I cannot bear it and quickly
leave that heart, taking with Me all the gifts and graces
I have prepared for the soul. And the soul does not even
notice My going. After some time, inner emptiness and
dissatisfaction will come to her attention. Oh, if only
she would turn to Me then, I would help her to cleanse her
heart, and I would fulfil everything in her soul; but
without her knowledge and consent, I cannot be the Master
of her heart. (1683) |
