And then the next time we met, she told me again of her great joy in being under his
direction.
1424 I joined in her joy, but when she had (48) left I was severely rebuked. Jesus told me to
tell her what He had given me to know during prayer, which I did at the first opportunity,
although it cost me a great deal.
1425 Today, for a short while, I experienced the pain of the crown of thorns. I was praying for
a certain soul before the Blessed Sacrament at the time. In an instant, I felt such a

Which burns for You with the pure fire of the Seraphim.
I go through life in Your footsteps, invincible,

1428 (50) For a month now, I have been feeling worse. Every time I cough, I feel my lungs
disintegrating. It sometimes happens that I feel the complete decay of my own corpse.
