souls. After these words, I was once again alone, but throughout the whole day I lived
in an act of reparation.
1817 8. + Today, I feel an abyss of misery in my soul. I want to approach Holy Communion
as a fountain of mercy and to drown myself completely in this ocean of love.
When I received Jesus, I threw myself into Him as into an abyss of unfathomable
mercy. And the more I felt I was misery itself, the stronger grew my trust in Him.
In this abasement, I passed the whole day.
1818 (8) 9. + Today, my soul has the disposition of a child. I united myself to God as a child
to its father. I feel completely like a child of God.
1819 When I had received Holy Communion, I had a deeper knowledge of the heavenly
Father and of His Fatherhood in relation to souls.
Today I live, glorifying the Holy Trinity. I thank God that He has deigned to adopt us as
His children through grace.
1820 10.+ Today, I want to be transformed, whole and entire, into the love of Jesus and to
offer myself, together with Him, to the Heavenly Father.
During Holy Mass, I saw the Infant Jesus in the chalice, and He said to me, I am
dwelling in your heart as you see Me in this chalice.
1821 After Holy Communion, I felt the beating of the Heart of Jesus in my own heart.
Although I have been aware, for a long time, that Holy Communion continues in me until
the next Communion, today – and throughout the whole day – I am adoring Jesus in my
heart and asking Him, by His grace, to protect little children from the evil that threatens
them. A vivid and even physically felt presence of God continues throughout the day
and does not in the least interfere with my duties.
1822 (9) 11. + Today, my soul desires to show, in a special way, its love to Jesus. When the
Lord entered my heart, I threw myself down at His feet like a rosebud. I want the
fragrance of my love to rise continually to the foot of Your throne. You see, Jesus, in
this rosebud, all my heart [offered] to You, not only now when my heart is burning like a
live coal, but also during the day, when I will give You proofs of my love by faithfulness
to divine grace.
Today, all the difficulties and sufferings that I will encounter, I will quickly seize, like
rosebuds, to throw at the feet of Jesus. Little matter that the hand, or rather the heart,
bleeds……
1823 12. + Today, my soul is preparing for the coming of my Savior, who is goodness and
love itself. Temptations and distractions torment me and do not let me prepare for the
coming of the Lord. Therefore I desire even more ardently to receive You, Lord,
because I know that when You come, You will rescue me from these torments. And if it
is Your will that I should suffer, well then, fortify me for the struggle.
