After a while <strong>my</strong> spirit was strengthened with great power. Tell him that I had let<br />

him see your weakness dur<strong>in</strong>g your confession to show him what you are of<br />

yourself.<br />

499 Each battle valiantly fought br<strong>in</strong>gs me joy, peace, light, experience and courage for<br />

the future; honor and glory to god; and <strong>in</strong> the end, for me, a reward.<br />

Today is the Feast of Christ the K<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

[October 27, 1935]<br />

500 Dur<strong>in</strong>g Holy Mass I prayed fervently that Jesus might become K<strong>in</strong>g of all hearts and<br />

that <strong>div<strong>in</strong>e</strong> grace might sh<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong> every <strong>soul</strong>. Then I saw Jesus as He is depicted <strong>in</strong><br />

the image, and He said to me, My daughter, you give Me the greatest glory by<br />

faithfully fulfill<strong>in</strong>g My desires.<br />

501 Oh, how great is Your beauty, Jesus <strong>my</strong> Spouse! Liv<strong>in</strong>g Flower enclos<strong>in</strong>g life-giv<strong>in</strong>g<br />

dew for a thirst<strong>in</strong>g <strong>soul</strong>! My <strong>soul</strong> is drowned <strong>in</strong> You. You alone are the object of<br />

<strong>my</strong> desires and striv<strong>in</strong>gs. United me as closely as possible to Yourself, to the<br />

Father, and to the Holy Spirit. Let me live and die <strong>in</strong> You.<br />

502 Only love has mean<strong>in</strong>g; it raises up our smallest actions <strong>in</strong>to <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ity.<br />

503 My Jesus, truly I would not know how to live without You – <strong>my</strong> spirit is welded to<br />

Yours. No one can really understand this; one must first live <strong>in</strong> You <strong>in</strong> order to<br />

recognize You <strong>in</strong> others.<br />

Retreat Resolutions.<br />

504 Not to do anyth<strong>in</strong>g without the permission of <strong>my</strong> confessor and the consent of <strong>my</strong><br />

superiors <strong>in</strong> all th<strong>in</strong>gs, but especially regard<strong>in</strong>g these <strong>in</strong>spirations and demands of<br />

the Lord.<br />

All <strong>my</strong> free time I will spend with the Div<strong>in</strong>e Guest with<strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>; I will safeguard<br />

<strong>my</strong> <strong>in</strong>terior and exterior silence so that Jesus can rest <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> heart.<br />

My sweetest repose will be <strong>in</strong> serv<strong>in</strong>g and oblig<strong>in</strong>g the sisters, <strong>in</strong> forgett<strong>in</strong>g about<br />

<strong>my</strong>self and th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g of how to please the sisters.<br />

I will not offer explanations on <strong>my</strong> own behalf or seek to v<strong>in</strong>dicate <strong>my</strong>self when<br />

criticized; I will let others judge me as they will.<br />

I have only one trusted Friend <strong>in</strong> whom I confide everyth<strong>in</strong>g, and that is Jesus – the<br />

Eucharist, and His representative – <strong>my</strong> confessor.<br />

In the midst of all suffer<strong>in</strong>gs, both physical and spiritual, as well as <strong>in</strong> darkness and<br />

desolation, I will rema<strong>in</strong> silent, like a dove, and not compla<strong>in</strong>.<br />
