All life and all events should teach a person wisdom so that they do not waste the grace of time and the grace of Sacrifice. So that they may grow in Love and in doing good. My Way of the Cross is a summary and a sign of your life, which differs from it in that it is extended in time.
Thu, 28 III 91
Why do you care what others do? The important thing is that you never cease of doing good for them.
Fri, 1 I 91
Holiness is accepted suffering out of love for God and one's brothers and sisters.
Fri, 11 I 91
Old age teaches humility and devotion to God. One's own sinfulness also teaches humility. Humility is what determines your heaven. What kind of heaven it will be.
Mon, 7 I 91
People reactions to difficult situations contain an element of evil and pain in three ways:
– they respond with rebellion and anger,
– they run away
– they accept it in a spirit of expiation in union with Me and offer their suffering for their neighbors, especially for those who are the cause of their suffering.
This third way leads to the salvation of all participants in suffering: those who inflict it and those who accept it. And it is a way devoid of selfishness and the desire for revenge. It is a way of pure love – My Way. Whoever desires to be My disciple and My apostle must accept this third way of fighting evil. It is a way of fighting evil, first of all within oneself – and through this, also against evil coming from without as a test.
Evil coming from outside is allowed to reveal your inner evil, which you do not want to see. You are sent everywhere and always to save human souls and save this world from destruction through prayer and suffering offered for them.
To be a wise person, one must live in asceticism. Wisdom is above goodness, because a wise person will always choose goodness and that which leads to the highest Good – Love.

Do not desire or seek anything for yourself – allow Me to find and satisfy yourself with everything. Desire only Me and My will. And the salvation of souls.
Sat, 20 X 90
– During prayer, I understood that every person, in addition to their Guardian Angel, also has their own tempter, whom they must resist throughout their lives. The more often and consciously a person asks the Lord, Mary, and the spirits and guardian souls for help, the more victories they are granted. If they rely on themselves, they lose, because it is impossible to resist such a great power of evil.
All of life is a struggle, and its tension never ceases, because everyone is within the reach of Satan, whose power is proportionate to the graces and talents given to them by God. Constant vigilance and imploring for God's mercy are necessary. The strongest attacks of evil come after graces have been received and wreak the greatest havoc, because then a person is usually least vigilant, believing they are no longer in danger, that they are strong and privileged – they forget their weakness and the need to constantly plead for help.
Sun, 30 IX 90
Your main spiritual problem is forgetting your own human weakness and losing your vigilance. A fall begins within your soul with even the slightest succumbing to discouragement or dissatisfaction, which is the beginning of a loss of inner balance. And whoever loses balance, falls. You must cling to Me with all your strength when your balance, your peace, and your love in your heart waver, because then weakness already dominates you, and you are powerless against it, even though you see it.
I told you about guarding your thoughts so that this lack of vigilance does not become the cause of a fall. You must constantly remember two things: your weakness and My omnipotence, and the constant desire for My help. Being weak is not evil. The evil lies in forgetting this and carelessly using your heart and mind. And you carelessly leave them open and empty in the face of the situations and influences within your sphere.
Even if nothing were happening outside, you are immersed in the spiritual world, which is always active and reaches you through your senses or directly within. If you do not consciously strive for Good, filling your heart and mind with it, your soul is open to the assault of Evil.
I said: Whoever is not with Me is against Me, Whoever does not gather scatters, as well as the parables: the one about the swept room, the one about the virgins, and others. I said all this to awaken vigilance and protect against fall. I created man weak, so that he might draw strength from me.
I aroused a hunger for love in the human heart, so that it might be nourished by My Love. I made people poor, so that they might overflow with My riches. I created you as nothing, so that you might be all in Me. You harm yourself and others if you consciously or carelessly disregard the fact of your weakness and the gift of My Love and My Power. The gift of Myself, who I am for you. This is your only problem, and that of each of you, which produces the fruits of evil, which you confess without seeing their source and without recognizing the guilt where it lies.
Romans 2:17–21
Thu, 27 IX 90
My child, you must not only guard your tongue, but also your thoughts. It is necessary to direct your thoughts toward goodness, toward the kindness that flows from My Love. If you learn this and pray for it, there will be no problem in guarding your tongue so that it does not hurt others, because thoughts filled with My love will not allow this.
Give Me your thoughts during morning prayer and ask that they all be born in Me, to fill your mind and your heart throughout the day.
When temptations and difficult situations arise, immerse your mind and your heart in Me and ask for peace in your thoughts and love in your heart, so that there may be no emptiness and evil within you. Think of Me: of My goodness, wisdom, omnipotence. Immerse your mind in Me, so that it may be permeated by My wisdom and love.
Do not try to understand and know everything completely. Instead, try to accept everything with peace, love, and gratitude, because everything serves the good: yours and others. It is a gift for the enrichment of your soul.
Acts 14:15 We preach to you that you should turn from these vanities to the living God.

Your Carmel and your hermitage for intimate communion with Me are in your soul. There is the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, where I am alive and thirsty for your adoration.
Pietro Novelli, Our Lady od Mount Carmel and the saints, 1641Come to Me there at any moment when you are free from external activities. Come wherever you are and immerse yourself in the Love that always desires you and is always committed to you. And bring into your heart all those you desire to make them happy and for whom you care. Bring many, including those I show to your eyes and your heart.
Your respite from hardships and external activity requires no time but Me. Not time for you, but time for Me, and such time is always given. You will always find rest in My Heart when you immerse yourself in it. Then I will give you rest, strength, and joy to your body and your soul.
Lk 9:29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his clothes became dazzling white.
Fri, 31 VIII 90
The hermit's life is a state of soul, not external conditions. Yes, external conditions help, but they do not determine it. A hermit's soul is one immersed in Me in constant prayer and intimate communion, for which external conditions are no significant obstacle.
The fervor of love and devotion conquers the interior, which is a hermitage accessible only to Me. A hermitage filled only with silence and Love independent of the external world, for everything external is drowned in this silence and Love.
First, strive for this state consciously, and everything that reaches you through your senses, immerse it in the hermitage of your soul, calm it, and surrender it to My loving gaze. Then My grace will dominate your consciousness, and this state will remain within you uninterrupted. And the light of peace and merciful love will flow outward from you. And no one will be able to hurt or disturb you anymore. Be My hermit, dwelling within the temple of your soul, and there continually adore the love of your Spouse.
There is need of souls so devoted to Me that I may live among people in them and bless them. The first such soul was Mary. Then there were the saints in whom the world has recognized Me. Now I desire you and others in whom My Love, ignited by the Holy Spirit, burns to save many. Do not be afraid of your weakness. Only your desire and acceptance of the path I am leading you are important.
2 Corinthians 13:11 ...Rejoice, strive for perfection, be of one mind, live in peace, and may the God of love and peace be with you.
Thu, 22 III 90
Don't let the priest who offers My Sacrifice concern you. Don't observe him, don't judge him. Don't choose the Sacrifice offered by your favorite priest. Don't go there for him. Come only for Me—to make the gift of yourself on the altar and receive My gift in Communion. With your heart and soul, perceive Me: My holiness, My Love, and My pain.
Tue, 20 III 90
Don't look within yourself, but at Me—that will heal you. I illuminate your wounded nature so that you may cling to the Wound of My Heart, from where the Blood of your purification and sanctification flows. Hide there, so that your sinfulness may become white as snow. The time you live in the body is given for your purification—for the recovery of your original holiness. Healing begins with bringing it into the light. Then there is only the healing of the wounds. And gaining strength to accept the next discovery of evil and further wounds.
It will be like this all the time, until you reach the threshold of Heaven. If your self-denial is not enough to accept everything here, I will heal the rest in Purgatory, so that you can enter Heaven with a pure heart, for otherwise it is impossible.
