 - An intimate and tender dialogue continues in silence it is impossible to exchange this exchange of love for writting down.

+You don't have to.

 You see I'm with you.  I surround you and immerse yourself in Me.

 My Love envelops and fills you...

 Satisfy yourself to suffice for hard days.

 - There are less and less ordinary days.  They are either difficult and painful, or beautiful, saturated with Your Love.

 A lot has changed recently.

+ I am transforming you and there will be no bland situations.  Learn to love and suffer.

 And enjoy love and suffering in equal measure.  They are from me and they are a gift that unites us.

+You want great things and I want to give them to you.  But the way to them leads through hardship and suffering.

 Do you still want it?

 - Yes, Father, You know I want to.  I would like to cope with it.

+ You can do it.  You will get within your means.  This is My concern.  You desire and trust.  And be cheerful.  I fulfill your requests.  And I console you to give you strength.

 I comfort you now.  Rejoice in me...

 - So suddenly came Your love and your peace...

+I want to strengthen you and convince you that I am watching and I know when My help is needed.

 Trust, My child, after all I am in your heart and I know its every movement.

 - What to save from this conversation, from these feelings?

+Nothing, why belittle them with words.

- I would like to talk to You, Father, but I don't know how, I don't know anything...

+Remain in this ignorance and in this helplessness.  And with all your infirmity, abide in Me.  Immerse yourself in My love and in My mercy.  You know how huge it is, and that it can absorb and transform everything - all the sin and helplessness of the whole world.

 Persevere and submit all this to My purifying action.

 I love you and I want to help you.  Free you from what is stuck to your soul and what is bad and unnecessary.  Give Me all this so that I can take you and set you free.

-But after all, complete purification is impossible anyway.

+But you have to get close to it.  You have to do this all your life, because you were given life for this purpose.

 Suffering for this and offering it to Me - every day - purifies and sanctifies through My Mercy dwelling in you.

 John 2:5

 Then his mother said to the servants, "Do whatever He tells you".

 - You have allowed me, Father, to understand what Your mercy is, through which You accept what is bad and ugly in me.  You identify Yourself to destroy in Your death on the cross, and to make all things new in me in Your Resurrection.

 Should I therefore come to terms with who I am, and maybe even love it about myself?  Because you love it and take it to transform and sanctify it?

+I am not in you to accept what seems to you an advantage, but what causes you pain, because it humiliates you in your own perception and perhaps in the eyes of other people.

 Because of your misery, because of your weaknesses, because of your flaws, I have come.  I am with you to extract you constantly from the mud and filth of human life and to purify you constantly with My own hands and My own blood.

 That's why I'm with you.

 Blessed is the misery and ugliness that I place with Me on the sacrificial altars of the whole world.

 Thank  for them and for this opportunity to be purified in My Sacrifice.  Co-sacrifice yourself and be happy that you are with Me.

 Love the human misery and ugliness in yourself and your fellow men.  In it you are all brothers and in purification through My Sacrifice.  In it you are all equal: worthy of the same forgiveness, compassion and love.

 I have come to you, I am in you, and I do not despise you, but I love you as you are.

 Why can't you accept who you are and give it to Me with the joy and trust of a child?

-Sorrowful, Father, is the stain of original sin and all that is its effect in me.

+Painful.  But blessed is the pain, because it is immersed in My Mercy and is the cause of the joy of being with Me.

 Love this pain and keep replacing it with the joy of My love.  Take My love from it.
