 |  8th day of the retreat

- I sighed with regret that I am not where the souls I invite to pray with me...
•Don't envy us.  You don't know how precious every moment of your life is when you can serve the Lord.  Many of us would like to be able to return for a moment to adore His hidden love and show  our gratitude to Him before knowing the whole Truth.
Now we suffer from the wasted graces of His, and we sympathize with you who waste these graces so recklessly.
- What to do?
• Put yourself completely at the Lord's disposal with boundless love and gratitude.  Want only His glory.
You will be clothed with His Love.  And it will protect you - like clothing - from the blows of evil - like a shield.
Give Him everything, remain naked and defenseless, and He will clothe you and protect you with His power.
He desires it and wants to take you in His arms and carry you along His ways so that you participate in His Work of Salvation.  He wants to give you the grace to participate in His Sacrifice.
Do not be afraid.  In His arms you are - next to His heart.

- What is the topic of today's retreat, Lord?
+Following Me on My Way of the Cross.

Tit 2:11

 
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.

- The whole day today was filled with people who came to me for strength.  So You have given me the grace to carry out Your commands.  Thank You for Your hard work this day.
What is the line between kindness and stupidity?  What's the difference between helping and serving someone's selfishness?
+You set this boundary with your attitude and your words.
Don't be stingy in serving by yourself.  If you feel the injustice that befalls you for your kindness, it means that you have not yet matured to be the perfect victim.
Do not take care of yourself, for you make it difficult for Me to take care of your affairs.
- I offered You this effort and You gave me peace.  But first You made me understand the value of suffering - its enriching good.
The feeling of injustice is caused by giving myself to You and drowning in Your Love.  So great is the sweetness of your embrace and so generous is your consolation.
+You have learned what suffering is in its essence.  Blessed are those who accept them.

He who loves his brother abides in the light and cannot stumble.

|  Day 5 of the retreat

- What am I supposed to do on this prayer today?
+ Be with me.  And then we will walk the Way of the Cross together .
- What is the topic of today's retreat?
+ Give Me everything and ask for the gift of purification.
I will continue to strip you until there is nothing.  Then only I and My peace will remain.  Then you will share in My wealth.

Ephesians 5:15-17.20

Therefore, be careful how you walk... Seize the opportunity, because the days are evil... Seek to understand what the will of the Lord is...

- You left me, Lord, today during the prayer meeting and hid Yourself.  I was left with my distractions and my weaknesses - alone.
Everything became boring, tiring and pointless.  What's next?
+You will remain in emptiness and solitude until I come and surround you with My light.  Don't ask when and don't ask how.  What do you care what I do with you?  After all, you are Mine and I shape every moment of your life according to My will.
Don't plan or wish for anything.  Enjoy this emptiness, for it is holy.
Do not seek help - stay with Me with your heart, even though you do not see Me, although you do not see or feel anything.
"I feel like my heart has been taken out and I don't even know where it is."  Only the empty space after it hurts.
Let this abandonment of mine be a sacrifice for the strengthening of others, for their joy in You, Lord.

|  4th day of retreat

- To be sure to break with every sin.
What is my sin?
+Negligence that does not result in good, and sometimes even evil.
Allowing unkind thoughts and feelings that Satan suggests, and instead of giving them to Me immediately and asking for help, you keep them in your heart and succumb to them.
Your heart should be like a glass through which everything can be seen and nothing is hidden.
What comes to you from the world, you should pass on to Me, and what you receive from Me, pass on to the world - to people for their healing.

Any omission destroys transparency.  Therefore, take care and care constantly for the purity of your heart.  Ask for help so that I can turn the glass of your heart into a crystal that will reflect the light of My love and transmit its rays to everyone.

Gal 1:3-4 

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father.

|  3rd day of retreat

- To get rid of pride for humility.
+Be willing to move away from your likes and dislikes and self-assessed values.
Ask earnestly to know the truth about yourself.  Only the humble can see their own weaknesses and understand that they really are nothing.  Yours is only sin and weakness - all that is good in you is My gift.
If you see values ​​in yourself, thank Me because I have placed them in you.  And humbly serve by them, for that is why you have them at your disposal.
Your malaise today is to help you recognize your fragility, impotence and helplessness, even in the face of your own body, and to understand your complete dependence on Me.

Cling to Me, do not be afraid of the intrusiveness of bad thoughts, give them back to Me when they come.  Take refuge in My arms and trust in My Love.
I want to strengthen you and purify you.  I expose your weaknesses so that you may renounce them and that I may free you from them.
The most dangerous weakness of everyone is pride and self-love, which is why it hurts so much when I touch them and take them out of your soul.
I will heal your pain.  Open your soul to Me with love and be willing to give all that is in it.
My touches will then become peace and joy, and your pure soul will unite with Me.

Lk 10,41-42

And the Lord answered her: "Martha, Martha, you care and worry about many things, but only one thing is needed.  Maria has chosen the best part, which she will not be deprived of".
