1721 (87) After Holy Communion, when I had welcomed Jesus <strong>in</strong>to <strong>my</strong> heart, I said to Him, “My<br />

Love, reign <strong>in</strong> the most secret recesses of <strong>my</strong> heart, there where <strong>my</strong> most secret thoughts<br />

are conceived, where You alone have free access, <strong>in</strong> this deepest sanctuary where human<br />

thought cannot penetrate. May You alone dwell there, and may everyth<strong>in</strong>g I do exteriorly<br />

take its orig<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> You. I ardently desire, and I am striv<strong>in</strong>g with all the strength of <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>, to<br />

make You, Lord, feel at home <strong>in</strong> this sanctuary.”<br />

1722 I heard these words: If you did not tie My hands, I would send down many punishments<br />

upon the earth. My daughter, your look disarms My anger. Although your lips are<br />

silent, you call out to Me so mightily that all heaven is moved. I cannot escape from<br />

your requests, because you pursue Me, not from afar but with<strong>in</strong> your own heart.<br />

1723 (88) When the <strong>soul</strong> of a certa<strong>in</strong> young lady came to me one night, she made me aware of<br />

her presence, and made known to me that she needed <strong>my</strong> prayer. I prayed for a while, but<br />

her spirit did not leave me. Then I thought to <strong>my</strong>self, “If you are a good spirit, leave me <strong>in</strong><br />

peace, and the <strong>in</strong>dulgences I will ga<strong>in</strong> tomorrow will be for you.” At that moment, the spirit<br />

left <strong>my</strong> room, and I recognized that she was <strong>in</strong> purgatory.<br />

1724 Today I felt the Lord‟s Passion <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> body more than at any other time. I felt this was for the<br />

sake of a dy<strong>in</strong>g <strong>soul</strong>.<br />

1725 Today, the Lord has been teach<strong>in</strong>g me, once aga<strong>in</strong>, how I am to approach the Sacrament of<br />

Penance: My daughter, just as you prepare <strong>in</strong> My presence, so also you make your<br />

confession before Me. The person of the priest is, for Me, only a screen. Never<br />

analyze what sort of a (89) priest it is that I am mak<strong>in</strong>g use of; open your <strong>soul</strong> <strong>in</strong><br />

confession as you would to Me, and I will fill it with My light.<br />

1726 Christ and Lord, You are lead<strong>in</strong>g me over such precipices that, when I look at them, I am<br />

filled with fright, but at the same time I am at peace as I nestle close to Your Heart. Close to<br />

Your Heart, I fear noth<strong>in</strong>g. In these dangerous moments, I act like a little child, carried <strong>in</strong> its<br />

mother‟s arms; when it sees someth<strong>in</strong>g which menaces it, it clasps its mother‟s neck more<br />

firmly and feels secure.<br />

1727 + I often see snares laid for me by <strong>soul</strong>s who should not do so. I do not defend <strong>my</strong>self, but<br />

entrust <strong>my</strong>self all the more to God, who sees with<strong>in</strong> me. And I see how these <strong>soul</strong>s become<br />

entangled <strong>in</strong> their own snares. O God, how just and good You are!<br />

1728 (90) Write: I am Thrice Holy, and detest the smallest s<strong>in</strong>. I cannot love a <strong>soul</strong> which is<br />

sta<strong>in</strong>ed with s<strong>in</strong>; but when it repents, there is no limit to My generosity toward it. My<br />

<strong>mercy</strong> embraces and justifies it. With My <strong>mercy</strong>, I pursue s<strong>in</strong>ners along all their paths,<br />

and My Heart rejoices when they return to Me. I forget the bitterness with which they<br />

fed My Heart and rejoice at their return.<br />

Tell s<strong>in</strong>ners that no one shall escape My Hand; if they run away from My merciful<br />

Heart, they will fall <strong>in</strong>to My Just Hands. Tell s<strong>in</strong>ners that I am always wait<strong>in</strong>g for them,<br />

that I listen <strong>in</strong>tently to the beat<strong>in</strong>g of their heart…. When will it beat for Me? Write, that<br />

I am speak<strong>in</strong>g to them through their remorse of conscience, through their failures and<br />

suffer<strong>in</strong>gs, through thunderstorms, through the voice of the Church. And if they br<strong>in</strong>g<br />

all My graces to naught, I beg<strong>in</strong> to be angry (91) with them, leav<strong>in</strong>g them alone and<br />

giv<strong>in</strong>g them what they want.<br />
