November 10, 1900 – Volume 4

Luisa writes,

As He continued not to come, I felt immersed in the greatest bitterness; my soul was tortured in a thousand ways. Then I felt as though a shadow near me, and I heard the voice of my adorable Jesus, though I could not see Him, saying to me: “The most perfect love is in the true trust that one must have in the loved object, and even if it should appear that the object one loves is lost - then more than ever is the time to prove this living trust. This is the easiest means to take possession of that which one ardently loves.” Having said this, both shadow and voice disappeared. Who can say the pain I feel for not having seen my beloved Good?

November 9, 1906 – Volume 7

Luisa writes,

Finding myself in my usual state, I was thinking about the Passion of Our Lord; and while I was doing this, He came and told me: “My daughter, one who meditates continuously on my Passion and feels sorrow for it and compassion for Me, pleases Me so much that I feel as though comforted for all that I suffered in the course of my Passion; and by always meditating on it, the soul arrives at preparing a continuous food. In this food there are many different spices and flavors, which form different effects. So, if in the course of my Passion they gave Me ropes and chains to tie Me, the soul releases Me and gives Me freedom. They despised Me, spat on Me, and dishonored Me; she appreciates Me, cleans Me of that spittle, and honors Me. They stripped Me and scourged Me; she heals Me and clothes Me. They crowned Me with thorns, mocking Me as king, embittered my mouth with bile, and crucified Me; while the soul, meditating on all my pains, crowns Me with glory and honors Me as her king, fills my mouth with sweetness, giving Me the most delicious food, which is the memory of my own works; and unnailing Me from the Cross, she makes Me rise again in her heart. And every time she does so, I give her a new life of grace as recompense. She is my food, and I become her continuous food. So, the thing that pleases Me the most is meditating continuously on my Passion.”

November 8, 1903 – Volume 6

Luisa writes,
As I was in my usual state, I was praying for certain needs of others, and blessed Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “For what purpose are you praying for these people?” And I: ‘Lord, and You, for what purpose did You love us?’ And He: “I love you because you are my own thing, and when an object is one’s own, one feels compelled to love it – it is like a necessity.” And I: ‘Lord, I am praying for these people because they are your own thing, otherwise I would not have interested myself.’ And He, placing His hand on my forehead, almost pressing it, added: “Ah, it is because they are my own thing! This is how the love of neighbor is all right.”
