909 + We know each other mutually, O lord, in the dwelling of my heart. Yes, now it is I who
am receiving You as a Guest in the little home of my heart, but the time is coming when
You will call me to Your dwelling place, which You have prepared for me from the
beginning of the world. Oh, what am I compared to You, O Lord?
910 (268) The Lord is leading me into a world unknown to me. He makes known to me His
great grace, but I am afraid of it and will not submit to its influence in so far as it may be in
my power, until I am assured by my spiritual director as to what thin grace is.
911 On one occasion, God‟s presence pervaded my whole being, and my mind was
mysteriously enlightened in respect to His Essence. He allowed me to understand His
interior life. In spirit, I saw the Three Divine Persons, but Their Essence was One. He is
One, and One only, but in Three Persons; none of Them is either greater or smaller; there
is no difference in either beauty or sanctity, for They are One. They are absolutely One.
His Love transported me into this knowledge and united me with Himself. When I was
united to One, I was equally united to the Second and to the Third in such a way that
when we are united with One, by that very fact, we are equally united to the two Persons
in the same way as with the One. Their will is One, one God, though in Three Persons.
When One of the Three Persons communicates with a soul, (269) by the power of that
one will, it finds itself united with the Three Persons and is inundated in the happiness
flowing from the Most Holy Trinity, the same happiness that nourishes the saints. This
same happiness that streams from the Most Holy Trinity makes all creation happy; from it
springs that life which vivifies and bestows all life which takes its beginning from Him. In
these moments, my soul experienced such great divine delights that I find this difficult to
express.
912 Then I heard the following words spoken thus: I want you to be My spouse. Fear
pierced my soul, but I calmly continued to reflect on what sort of an espousal this could
be. However, each time fear would invade my soul, a power from on high would give it
peace.
After all, I have taken perpetual vows, and I have taken them of my own completely free
will. And so I continued to reflect on what this could mean. I sensed, and came to
realize, that this was some special kind of grace. Whenever I think about it, I feel faint for
God, but in this swooning, my mind is clear and penetrated with light. When I am united
(270) to Him, I faint from an abundance of happiness, but my mind is bright and clear and
free from all shadows. You abase Your majesty to dwell with a poor creature. Thank
you, O Lord, for this great grace that makes it possible for me to commune with You.
Jesus, Your Name is my delight, I have a presentiment of my Beloved from afar, and my
languishing soul rests in His embrace; I don‟t know how to live without Him. I would
rather be with Him in afflictions and suffering than without Him in the greatest heavenly
delights.
913 February 2, 1937. Today, from early morning, divine absorption penetrates my soul.
During Mass, I thought I would see the little Jesus, as I often do; however, today during
Holy Mass I saw the Crucified Jesus. Jesus was nailed to the cross and was in great
agony. His suffering pierced me, soul and body, in a manner which was invisible, but
nevertheless most painful.
