Mon, 12 I 87, 9pm 

- This morning, when I opened the magazine, my eyes fell on the words "Empty tomb".  What does it mean?

+It is a place of resurrection, the beginning of a new life, not death.

 Everything that was dead, tormented, abused by the evil of the world, was transformed and received a new, more perfect form of life.

 The place was left empty - because the life that was reborn in it, came out among people to heal them and call them to life in Me.

 Your apartment is such a place.  Many have risen here to go out and bring the Truth of Love to people.

 - And me, what am I doing in this empty tomb now?

+You are with your longing and loneliness.  And you want to meet Me like Magdalena then at dawn .

 I come to you as I came to her, to comfort her, to tell her what to do.

 Don't be afraid of these words.  The grave is the place of the death of the old man and the resurrection of the new in Me.

Mon, 12 January 87, 9:30am |  After Eucharistic meetings with Fr.  IN.

 - Where is my heart?  Is it still in me?

+Yes.  But it is also in others for whom you feel and know.  It is not duality, or alienation, or loss of identity.  It is unity in the Spirit.

It penetrates and unites.  You are one in Me.  Complete and enrich each other in Me.

 1J 5:20b 

We are in the true God, in His Son, Jesus Christ.  He is true God and eternal life.

- Do You need this prayer in tongues?

+Not I, but you.

-Why did You tell me not to be afraid? I fear nothing, least of all sickness and suffering.

+You are afraid of Me - My power, the immensity of which you sense.  It is huge and powerful.  But at the same time it is delicate as mist and is a tender and caring Love, enveloping and penetrating.

 Do not be afraid of Me, do not tremble when I approach.  Let your heart not be dark, for My light is within it.

 - I do not know what happened.  After these visits to the hospital, the joy and carefreeness ended.

+I put on you the sufferings of that...

 You carry them in your heart.  Turn it into joy.  For the joy of communion with Me.  Your joy should be double, because you release it and enrich yourself.

 You have helped many, albeit in such invisible ways.  So it has to be.  I know your heart and I know.  Be hidden in My arms.  Let them not see you.  Let them reap the fruits of your sacrifice and your prayers.

+If you take the suffering of others on yourself, by praying for them, then their sadness is in you, because you take it.

 If you want to free someone, you have to be ready for their suffering.

 This is normal and be prepared for it.  Enjoy when you get nothing in return - because then the sacrifice is pure and perfect.

 - I close a lot in myself - in my alienation, loneliness and homelessness - not so much at home as in the world.  Is it wrong?

+It is the rightness of your way - but within the bounds of creation.  Beyond these boundaries is destruction.  They cannot be exceeded.

 Be attentive and vigilant, with your heart open to Me.

 Know, however, that the openness of the heart should be greater and greater - in proportion to how the heart grows.

 Is 48:17b 

"I am the Lord your God, teaching you what is good, guiding you in the way you should go."

Wed, 7 I 87, 10:30pm

+Do not be afraid of other people's suffering.  It really is a boon.

 My Love allows suffering to avoid much greater suffering there after death.

 For suffering to have redemptive value, it must be sacrificed.  You can do it for someone.

 - Why am I not experiencing physical pain?

+Because you have given Me everything and are ready to accept any pain.

341

Wed, 7 I 87, 9:45am

+Be subject to My will and let Me draw from you without limits.

 Let everything and at any moment be at My exclusive disposal.

 It is you who vowed to Me, who vowed love.

 - Why do you remind me?  I remember and I know.

+To make your memory and responsibility even greater.  Let that be the justification for everything that happens to you.  This is the only argument for you, and it is sufficient.

 - What is the line between familiarity and distance?

+ It depends on specific situations and people, as well as those who see and react.

 You have to take into account your own reactions, the reactions of participants and viewers, and those to whom they will tell.  Reason is needed.

 Greater distance is better than too much familiarity.  Distance can do less damage than familiarity.

 l P 5.8

 Stay sober!  keep watch!  Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

 Tue, 6 I 87, 11:10pm

 - What am I to do with the pain of longing?

+Bring to Me.

 - It still hurts...

+Maybe it should.

- I guess so.  It's so hard to cry with dry eyes.

+ I know.  But you need.  You're doing it for Me.  And I enjoy this gift of Yours.

 Give Me everything - that's what I want from you.

 Sat,  3 I 87, 6am 

+Everyone needs support to endure, accept and submit to the transformation I am making in them.

 Pray for many.  Your prayer is powerful when it is fervent.  Ask the Holy Mother to protect and the Angels, so that their inspirations can be heard in hearts and minds;  to turn into action.

 Pray both for those who live in the light and for those who are lost in the darkness.

 Prayer is like oxygen on which life depends.

 2 Tim 4:5

 But you, watch over everything, endure hardships, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Fri,  2 I 87, 11pm

 

- How to respond to people's excessive curiosity?

+ Silence or a change of subject.  Under no circumstances should you tell lies.

 Truthfulness is not about telling everything, but about telling the truth as much and where it needs to be.  So it should be combined with prudence.

Do not indulge nosy.  Look at My Mother: She knows a lot and has lived a lot, but she pondered it and kept it in her heart.

 Be like Her.

 Words and speech should be used sparingly and judiciously.

 Restraint and moderation are great advantages.

Wed,  December 31, 86, 7am 

+Be faithful to the vocation I have given you.  It is great, though so imperceptible in the eyes of the world.  Carry them in your heart - it is My fire that purifies many and burns you.

 Be like a candle that burns to give light to others.

 Burn on the altar of My Love for many.  May our wedding be fulfilled to the glory of the Father!

 Ezekiel 16:8b 

I have sworn an oath to you and made a covenant with you, says the Lord God, and you have become Mine.
