THE CORONATION 145
INSTRUCTION WHICH THE QUEEN OF THE ANGELS, MOST
HOLY MARY, GAVE ME.
132. My daughter, thou hast so far been well in
formed of my life and activity, considering that thou art
a mere creature. Besides me, there is no other created
being, which thou canst Better use as thy model and
original for thy greater holiness and perfection. But
now thou hast entered upon the description of the su
preme state of virtue reached by me in mortal life. This
favor should oblige thee to renew thy desires and direct
all the attention of thy faculties toward the perfect
imitation of all that I teach thee. It is time, my dearest,
and there is reason, that thou deliver thyself entirely over
to my will in what I seek of thee. In order that thou
mayest animate thyself to the attainment of this blessing,
I wish thee to take notice, that, though the species of the
Sacrament are consumed, my divine Son, whenever souls
receive Him with reverence and fervor and prepare for
Him a pure and ardent heart, remains with them with
special graces, by which He assists them, enriches and
directs them in return for their hospitality. Few are the
souls, who partake of this blessing, because many know
ing of it, approach the holy Sacrament without the
proper disposition, as if by haphazard or habit, and with
out being solicitous for the reverence and holy fear due
to it.
But as thou art now informed of this secret, I de
sire that, since by the orders of thy superiors thou receivest
it
every day, thou prepare thyself worthily each
time and thus partake of this great blessing.
133. For this end thou must avail thyself of the re
membrance of what I did, and by it regulate thy aspira
tions, thy fervor, thy love, and all that is
necessary to
prepare thy heart as a temple and habitation of thy
Private Use Only
