Now, Lord, you have shown my soul your design of love. You still want to detach me, purify me, shape me. You want to transform me! Here I am, here I am, my Love! I am yours, your victim. I am in your hands, in your Heart! Prepare me for Heaven, for that homeland which I have madly desired and still desire, for the eternal wedding feast, for that immaculate union, beautiful, rich… as your Love has destined me to be! And, with me, an infinity of souls saved by me! Jesus, Jesus, Mary!

In joys and successes, turn to God with fear and sincerity. You will escape all snares and be free of everything false.

My God, I believe You are really present in my heart and see all that passes and will pass within me and in all creatures. What can I fear when I am with You? Do with me as You please, for I wish nothing but Yourself and to be all Yours.

Helping Christ carry his cross fills one with a strong and pure joy, and those who may and can do so, the builders of God’s kingdom, are the most authentic children of God.

Today while beseeching our Lord to speak for me because I wasn’t able to think of anything to say nor did I know how to begin to carry out this obedience, there came to my mind what I shall now speak about, that which will provide us with a basis to begin with. It is that we consider our soul to be like a castle made entirely out of a diamond or of very clear crystal, in which there are many rooms, just as in heaven there are many dwelling places.

It’s a great grace to receive the sacraments, but when God doesn’t allow it, it’s good just the same; everything is a GRACE.

…many remain at the foot of the mount who could ascend to the top. I repeat and ask that you always have courageous thoughts. As a result of them the Lord will give you grace for courageous deeds.

I desire to suffer always and not to die. I should add: this is not my will, it is my inclination. It is sweet to think of Jesus; but it is sweeter to do His will.

The most delightful Mystery of Love! He allows Himself to be found by the heart that searches for Him, by the soul that knows how to do without many things for love of Him.

I see God in the work of his hands and the marks of his love in every visible thing, and it sometimes happens that I am seized by a supreme joy which is above all other joys.

My God, I offer you all that I do today for the intentions and the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I want to sanctify every beat of my heart, my thoughts, and my simplest works by uniting them to his infinite merits. I want to repair for my faults by casting them into the furnace of his merciful love.

Justice itself, even more than any other divine perfection, seems to me to be clothed in love.
