Easter Song 2:8-12
Quiet! my beloved! That's him! Here it comes! He runs over the mountains, jumps over the hills. My beloved is like a gazelle, like a young deer.
Here he is standing behind our wall, looking through the window, peering through the bars. My beloved speaks and says to me:
« Arise, my friend, my beautiful one, and come! For behold, winter is past, and the rain has ceased and gone. Flowers are already seen on the earth, the time for pruning the vineyards has come, and the voice of the turtledove is already heard in our land.

- Yesterday, when I woke up in the morning, there were words with me:
+You promised to fast.
- Yes, I did promise a strict fast on Wednesday, but it turned out differently. I was planning on Friday. And yesterday, although I did not mention it during confession, as a penance I was recommended to fast for three days from Thursday to Saturday.
The second day I fast on bread and water. Today I took nothing at all. It's noon and I don't feel hungry at all. There is a sublime state where the desire for God and the feeling of connection with Him predominate. There is no need for other sensations. It's good and clean.

- The problem arose of how far to leave everything; how far to terminate contact with the outside world in order to be immersed in the Lord.
+You will find out during confession.

- I apologized to the Lord for my sinfulness and for the futility of my efforts to be better.
+You will always be sinful, but I will always be with you to lift you up.
Mal | Introduction
The Council of Trent, for its part, emphasized the importance of the text of Mal 1:11 about the chaste sacrifice as a prophecy about the Holy Mass.
- Pure sacrifice... has been a word in my thoughts and prayers for some time. I feel that this is what the Lord is asking of me.
From the moment I wanted to go with Him to Golgotha and the Cross, I feel somehow inseparable from Him and I belong to Him in a special way. There is some tenderness, some understanding. There is no need for many words in prayer. There is an agreement to everything and a desire to be with Him.
