+You are critical of yourself because you are close to Me and by contrast you see the immensity of your smallness.  It's human weakness.  The smallness of the creature in relation to the Creator.  Well, if you see in the right proportions.

 But behold My gifts and My graces with which I endow you.  And they are numerous.  Notice them and use them to enrich your life and enrich the people you come into contact with.

 - This enrichment of people, Father, is dangerous because of the temptation of pride and domination.  This temptation is still there and poisons the purity of intention.

+ I know.  Ask for purity of heart and give Me every effect and result of enriching others.

 You only mediate, I act and the merit is not yours.  Be concerned only with being a good mediator and an obedient child.

 - What was wrong today?

+Gluttony.

 - What was good?

+Helping someone.  Tenderness towards Me.  I thank you for that.

 - How can You thank.  After all, I owe You enormous gratitude, and I can only afford such a small, incompetent...

+Yes, but you can also deny Me this little one.  So this is your gift.

 -Your kindness and graciousness

 is amazing.  The more I get to know it, the scarier it is to see myself.

 What a great grace it is that You hide Your perfection from man, because You also hide his misery, which he would probably not endure seeing in all truth.

+There will be a moment when you will know it at the end of your human journey.  Those who get to know Me during their lifetime, and who also get to know themselves, cross the threshold of knowing the Truth more easily.

 It is a tragic moment of knowledge for those who have lived in the darkness of sin and distance from Me.

 The splendor of the Truth causes them great pain: regret for wasted time and missed opportunities.  Shame and guilt beyond human imagination.

 Getting to know Me should take place gradually - this is what human life is for.  This is the goal that determines how this life should be.

 Being able to give Me everything is the most important grace.  Whoever knows Me desires only this and suffers from the fact that his gift is so small.

Desire to know Me.  I will make it easy for you and you will be happy, by giving everything to Me and suffering for love of Me.

 - How to get to know You?

+With heart and mind. With everything, every moment of life, because I am everywhere.

 You are always surrounded by Me.
