- There are so many unwritten words of Your love watching over me.

 You have again fulfilled my desire, which I have not even expressed before You.

+ If your desires are in accordance with My will, how could I not fulfill them?

 I pour into your heart these desires and this timidity in claiming them.  You are surrendered and devoted to Me and therefore your desires are My desires.  We walk together and we have everything in common on the path of your vocation - you are already in the novitiate of My Crucified Love.

 Ba 1:14 

Accept this book that we are sending you, that it may be read on the day of the feast and on the days of assembly.

 - Does this indication apply to our conversations, Lord?

+Yes.  You should share to make others rich.  They are an example of My nurturing of the soul.  Protect, because everything you wrote is needed by others.

 That is why I have told you to write - both in your heart and through your spiritual director - and therefore you must not succumb to any contrary temptation.

- So sure are some of their discernment...

+Forgive.  Everyone usually goes through this stage.  It takes great maturity to see your own helplessness and show it to others.  At the beginning of the road, there is self-confidence in "my" graces that I have given.

 Time will pass when I will show helplessness in the face of the simplest decisions.

 - Does the path of childhood consist in resigning from any effort and putting everything on You?  I have encountered such an attitude.

 +Just the opposite!  It requires a great effort to give everything to Me.

 Constant vigil in love and desire.  And above all, in accepting My will and doing it.

 It is not a path of slumber and comfort, but of heroic trust and obedience.

 If someone is deaf to My teachings and lazy, he feeds others with his human imperfection.

 - Teach me, Lord, to love people more openly.

+You love them.  It does not always have to be accompanied by external exuberance.

 And it is also not necessary to show too much interest in those who want to be favored in your heart and appropriate your love.

 Whether someone is able to love,  is recognized by whether they are capable of sacrificing for those who need help.  The weak and the sick must be shown the greatest tenderness, and you do.  Confident and possessive, however, you need to show it less.

 It's not about mutual adoration, but about the genuine readiness to help and the awareness of the other person that he will receive such help, even if he never had a chance for paying back in the strict sense of the word.

 In great love, tenderness is unnecessary.  The greater the sensitivity and love, the more sparing words and gestures are.

 So don't judge others and yourself by the outside.

 In addition, love is a readiness to help another person, and not a claim to receive what gives pleasure.  The more subtle and purer love is, the greater is this readiness, less intrusive and not wanting anything in return.

 Love must be reasonable so that it enriches and does not develop selfishness, possessiveness and pride.

 Through love, one must educate to sacrifice, not to satisfy one's own selfish desires at someone else's expense.

 Self-restraint is better than excessive exuberance.  An overgrowth of external symptoms can impoverish what is most valuable inside.

Love is watching over the well-being of the loved one - a silent and watchful watch with readiness to serve.

 2 Corinthians 5:13-14,16 |  Apostolic action 

For if we are out of our minds, it is for God's sake... For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

 So we no longer know anyone according to the flesh...

+Take care of your heart so that it will always be with Me.  To keep it clean.

- I have never been able to find full joy in the present moment, although they were beautiful.

 There was only transience and the feeling of losing what had already gone, though not yet fully existed.  Why so...?

+You see, My child, you have a longing for My love and a thirst that will never be satisfied here on earth.

 And although there are moments when I touch you - they go away before they are fulfilled. And you will not experience the fullness of My love, even though you stood on its threshold, because what your heart and your longing tell you becomes hidden.

+In order to pray for someone's healing, one must have a pure heart.

 There can be no unkindness towards anyone, resentment, envy.

 My love in you must be stronger than anything, and you must share it, give it away, and desire nothing else.

 Let your joy be how others grow.
