(123) The third light concerns our rules. I have not sufficiently avoided the occasions that
lead to breaking the rules, especially that of silence. I will act as if the rule were written
just for me; it should not affect me at all how anyone else might act, as long as I myself
act as God wishes.
Resolution. Whatever Jesus demands of me regarding external things, I will immediately
go and tell my superiors. I shall strive for childlike openness and frankness in my
relations with the superior.
275 Jesus loves hidden souls. A hidden flower is the most fragrant. I must strive to make
the interior of my soul a resting place for the Heart of Jesus. In difficult and painful
moments, O my Creator, I sing You a hymn of trust, for bottomless is the abyss of my
trust in You and in Your mercy!
276 From the moment I came to love suffering, it ceased to be a suffering for me. Suffering
is the daily food of my soul.
277 I will not speak with a certain person, because I know that Jesus does not like it and that
she does not profit by it.
278 At the feet of the Lord. Hidden Jesus, Eternal Love, our Source of Life, divine Madman,
in that You forget yourself and see only us. Before creating heaven and earth, You
carried us in the depths of Your Heart. O Love, O depth of Your Abasement, O mystery
of happiness, why do so few people know You? Why is Your love not returned? O
Divine Love, why do You hide Your beauty? O infinite One beyond all understanding,
the more I know You the less I comprehend You; but because I cannot comprehend
You, I better comprehend Your greatness. I do not envy the Seraphim their fire, for I
have a greater gift deposited in my heart. (124) They admire you in rapture, but Your
Blood mingles with mine. Love is heaven given us already here on earth. Oh, why do
You hide in faith? Love tears away the veil. There is no veil before the eye of my soul,
for You Yourself have drawn me into the bosom of secret love forever. Praise and glory
be to You, O indivisible Trinity, One God, unto ages of ages!
279 God made known to me what true love consists in and gave light to me about how, in
practice, to give proof of it to Him. True love of God consists in carrying out God‟s will.
To show God our love in what we do, all our actions, even the least, must spring from
our love of God. And the Lord said to me, My child, you please me most by
suffering. In your physical as well as your mental sufferings, my daughter, do not
seek sympathy from creatures. I want the fragrance of your suffering to be pure
and unadulterated. I want you to detach yourself, not only from creatures, but
also from yourself. My daughter, I want to delight in the love of your heart, a pure
love, virginal, unblemished, untarnished. The more you will come to love
suffering, My daughter, the purer your love for Me will be.
280 Jesus commanded me to celebrate the Feast of God‟s Mercy on the first Sunday after
Easter. [This I did] through interior recollection and exterior mortification, wearing the
belt for three hours and praying continuously for sinners and for mercy on the whole
world. And Jesus said to me, My eyes rest with pleasure upon this house today.
