Mother J. has not received anything for the Masses that have been celebrated for her. The nuns do not have the right to dispose of their goods; It is against poverty. God never refuses the graces that are requested in a well done prayer. The Purgatory of the religious is longer and more painful than that of the laity, because they have abused more of the graces. Yes, God loves the Mother Superior very much, that you see that she has given him a good cross; she is the best proof of the love she has for him. You cannot imagine the pains that are suffered in Purgatory. Nobody in the world thinks about it; even the religious communities also forget it. That is why God wants us to pray here especially for the poor souls and to encourage this devotion in souls, so that they, in turn, can communicate it to the world. Do not fear fatigue when it comes to God, sacrifice everything for Him. Obey promptly your Superior; that she returns to you from all sides as she wants. Be very humble, always humble yourselves to the center of the Earth if possible. N. is in Purgatory because his cunning words have often paralyzed the good that the Superiors could have done.
Take as practice the presence
of God and the purity of intention. God seeks self-sacrificing souls who love
him for himself. How few souls there are like this! He wants you to be one of
his true friends.
Many people love God; they
think so, but in reality they love him for themselves. We do not see God in
Purgatory. That would be Heaven!
When a soul really seeks with
good will for love of God in his heart, He does not allow it to be deceived.
Devote yourselves, sacrifice yourselves, love yourselves for God's sake. You
can never do too much for Him.
Consider that only what
overflows with pity in one can spill over into the others. Have no respect, not
even with the old sisters. Always say something when it comes to supporting
your Superior. No, I don't see Our Lord when he is exposed; I feel his
presence, I see him like you with the eyes of faith, but our faith is much more
alive than yours; we know what God is. Always keep God present with you, tell
him everything as to a friend and keep a close eye on your interior. To prepare
well for Holy Communion, love is necessary before, love during thanksgiving,
love always.
God wants you to live only in
Him, that you only dream of Him. Mortify yourselves in your spirit, your eyes
and your tongue; this will be more pleasing to God than bodily mortifications,
which often come from our own will. You have to behave with God as with a
tender father, a faithful friend, a very dear husband. It is necessary that you
pour out the tenderness of your heart on Jesus, entirely on Him.
Yes, all eternity you will
sing his infinite mercies over you. It is necessary to love Jesus so much that
he can find a pleasant stay in your heart, where he can rest from the offenses
that he receives everywhere. It is necessary that you love him for the
indifferent, for the lazy souls and for you the first, must you love him so
much, in a word, that you be an example that drags?

If you love the good Jesus
very much, He will not deny you anything. When a person truly loves another,
you already know how he goes around her to get a yes from her, or what he asks
or wants and always gets it. God will do the same with you; he will grant you
everything you ask for; God wants you to be concerned only with Him alone, with
His love and with fulfilling His Most Holy Will. Taking care of God, one must
also take care of souls! There would be no great merit in saving herself alone.
February 1875
Watch closely over your
interior Your life must be a continuation of interior acts of love, of
mortification, without doing anything extraordinary; very hidden life, very
united to Jesus. God wants you to love him only. If you do not put obstacles to
his graces, He has many extraordinary graces in store for you, which he has not
granted to anyone yet. He loves you in a special way. Haven't you noticed it?
It is up to us to adore his designs without trying to scrutinize them. He owns
to do for souls what. you like it Always remain very humble, very hidden. Do
not take care of anyone, but only what touches you of your own sanctification.
Love the good God very much. ¡Oh! how happy are the souls that possess this
treasure. Your great penance during your life will be, not the absence of your
Jesus,
may 14
Make an intention in your
exercises not to lose any of the graces that God grants you and always follow
his appeal to always have a spirit of faith and also much recollection. I have
been insisting on this for a long time. You must always be in your actions,
especially as collected within yourself as you are in your thanksgiving after
Holy Communion. Never do anything without gathering for a moment to ask your
Jesus, who is in your heart, for advice. ¿Do you understand me?... Oh, ¡yes!,
he loves the good Lord very much, but as a soul purifies itself, that is, it
approaches Heaven, his love grows more. Think often about the love that God has
for you; be very faithful
to all the inspirations of
grace. Start anew every day, as if you hadn't done anything yet, without ever
getting discouraged.
August 14
God does not want you to
torment yourselves. Trust in Him. Have I not already told you many times? Can't
He give you, despite your weakness, the necessary graces to serve Him?
August 15
Yes, we have seen the Blessed
Virgin, who has returned to Heaven with many souls, but I have stayed. are you
hot? ¡Oh! If you only knew what the heat of Purgatory is compared to yours! ¡A
short prayer does us so much good! It refreshes us like a glass of cold water
given to a person who is very thirsty. Make your prayers under the gaze of God,
I have already told you! Consult him, before everything, what you have to do or
decide. ¡Oh! ¡then, how many graces would descend on you! May your life be all
of faith and love, and if you act like this you already know what I have told
you about this... Take care of the only object that should be the motive of
your entire life. Jesus, yes, Jesus. From morning to night and overnight. Do all
your actions under the gaze of God, simply, without trying to please more than
Him alone in the world, until you arrive at that stripping of all things, to
pay attention only to Him alone. He won't leave you alone.
September 8th
God allows some souls to be
extremely tender-hearted, while others are less sensitive. All that enters into
his designs. Those who have the most affectionate heart, He has given it to Him
mainly, so that they pour out all his love in his adorable Heart. He is well
master of giving each one what pleases him.
I suffer more at night when
you rest. It is true that I always carry my purgatory with me, but during the
day, since I have permission to accompany you everywhere, I suffer a little
less. All of this is a provision of the good Lord.
December 8
Love God very much. Do not be
afraid of your pain, trust Him and in no way yourself, do not breathe or live
more than for Jesus Christ.
December 12th
The good Lord wishes that
before perpetual adoration, you do it first in your heart, you understand me.
It is also necessary to get used to making spiritual communions frequently. You
will get the most abundant and healthy fruits from it, if you prepare well.
Year 1875
You must prepare a dwelling
place for Jesus, otherwise how can you invite him? Because you must not only
prepare a beautiful room for him, but invite him to enter it. Therefore, invite
Jesus often for your desires and above all for your love.
It is true that in Heaven God
receives infinite adorations, but since it is on Earth where he is outraged, he
wants it to be also on Earth where he is repaired, and it is up to you who
wants to receive it, what you will do loving him and indemnifying him for your
tenderness for the abandonment he finds everywhere. You already know what I
have told you about this.
Annunciation
When God wants a soul all for
Him, He begins by pressing it as apples are pressed to express its juice or its
passions in search of itself; in a word, in all her defects; then, when she has
been crushed or pressed, the shape to her liking, and if she is faithful, she
will soon be all transformed; then it is only when Jesus fills her with the
graces of her devotion and floods her with her love.
July 16
The Eucharist must be a
magnet for you, attracting you, always more and more. The Eucharist, in a word,
must be for you the motive of your entire life.
August 28
Have no desire except to love
God more and more and unite yourself with Him more and more. You must try to be
more interior and more united to your Jesus every day through the sufferings of
body and spirit and above all through love. God has made your heart for Himself
alone. Abandon yourselves to Our Lord without ever looking forward or to the
past. Throw yourself into his arms; on the Heart of him and then fear nothing
there. Make a brief prayer to Our Lord every morning to adore him in all the
Churches where he is abandoned. Transfer to them in spirit and then tell him how
much you love him and would like to compensate him for the abandonment in which
he left him. Renew this intention several times a day: you will please Jesus
with it. The good God wants you to always think of Him, that you do everything
under His Divine gaze; your prayers, your works,
But all this calmly and
without affectation. Have no other desire than to love the good God more and
more.
At the end of your exercises,
make the resolution to think often about what I am going to tell you. God
alone. My God and my everything. Everything happens and happens soon. The
Tabernacle is my rest. The Eucharist my life. The Cross my inheritance. Mary is
my Mother. Heaven is my hope.
TO BE CONTINUE...
