Holy Communion I returned to my room. Then I saw the Lord, who said to me, Know,
My daughter, that the ardor of your heart is pleasing to Me. And just as you
desire ardently to become united with Me in Holy Communion, so too do I desire
to give Myself wholly to you; and as a (214) reward for your zeal, rest on My
Heart. At that moment, my spirit was immersed in His Being, like a drop in a
bottomless ocean. I drowned myself in Him as in my sole treasure. Thus I came to
recognize that the Lord allows certain difficulties for His greater glory.
827 December 18, [1936]. Today I felt bad that a week had gone by and no one had come
to visit me. 152 When I complained to the Lord, He answered, Isn‟t it enough for you
that I visit you every day? I apologized to the Lord and the hurt vanished. O God,
my strength, You are sufficient for me.
828 This evening, I learned that a certain soul was in need of my prayer. I prayed
fervently, but felt that this was still not enough, so I continued to pray for a longer time.
On the following day, I learned that the agony of a certain soul had started at just that
time and had continued until morning. I recognized what struggles it had gone
through. (215) In a strange way, the Lord Jesus makes known to me that a dying
soul has need of my prayer. I feel vividly and clearly that spirit who is asking me for
prayer. I was not aware that souls are so closely united, and often it is my Guardian
Angel who tells. me.
829 During Holy Mass, the little Infant Jesus brings joy to my soul. Often, distance does
not exist – I see a certain priest who brings Him down. I am awaiting Christmas with
great yearning; I am living in expectation together with the Most Holy Mother.
830 O Light Eternal who come to this earth, enlighten my mind and strengthen my will that
I may not give up in times of great affliction. May Your light dissipate all the shadows
of doubts. May Your omnipotence act through me. I trust in You, O uncreated Light!
You, O Infant Jesus, are a model for me in accomplishing Your Father‟s will, You, who
said, “Behold, I come to do Your will.” Grant that I also (216) may do God‟s will
faithfully in all things. O Divine Infant, grant me this grace!
831 O my Jesus, my soul was yearning for the days of trial, but do not leave me alone in
the darkness of my soul. Rather, do You hold me firmly, close to Yourself. Set a
guard over my lips, so that the fragrance of my sufferings may be known and pleasing
to You alone.
832 O merciful Jesus, how longingly You hurried to the Upper Room to consecrate the
Host that I am to receive in my life. Jesus, You desired to dwell in my heart. Your
living Blood unites with mine. Who can understand this close union? My heart
encloses within itself the Almighty, the Infinite One. O Jesus, continue to grant me
Your divine life. Let Your pure and noble Blood throb with all its might in my hart. I
give You my whole (217) being. Transform me into Yourself and make me capable of
doing Your holy will in all things and of returning Your love. O my sweet Spouse, You
know that my heart knows no one but You. You have opened up in my heart an
insatiable depth of love for You. From the very first moment it knew You, my heart
has loved You and has lost itself in You as its one and only object. May Your pure
