- You are doing great things here, Lord, and Your power is visible.
And fervent prayers flow and my constant intercessory prayer.
You gave the Word, as in the beginning - as three months ago:

J 19,1-7 |  Behold the  man

- Does it have to be like this?
+My child, I am in him and he in Me.  And yet you know what happened and what is happening to Me.
You know that the resurrection and coming with power must be preceded by a real crucifixion, although in a different setting.
Would you prefer that I leave him far from Me in the sleep and comfort of life?
- But I am asking You to give me enough strength and for the transformation to be great.
+ I give strength, My blessing hand supports and comforts, but the cross is a cross and it must remain a cross nonetheless.

Pray, My child, and offer and bring relief and refreshment in the heat of suffering.
Sacrifices and burnt offerings are needed and he agreed, although he did not know that it would be like this.  He agreed - because he loves Me and will persevere, and will emerge reborn and sanctified by My saving suffering.
You can't replace him in this.  He must do it himself, just as I myself had to do it for My people.
But you can support, comfort, bring relief.  Do this, my child, for we are one.

- Today, Lord, I was considering the fact that You came to the Apostles on the water and that Peter drowned because he doubted.
+He did not so much despair, but turned his eyes away from Me, and his hearing was not attentive to Me, when the sound of the storm reached him.
You see, My child, he was not focused and listening enough to Me, because he did not love Me enough.  Love causes you to focus all your attention and cling with all your heart, so that nothing from the outside reaches you, so that you don't see or hear anything except your beloved.
The loving trembling of the heart closes the entire external world and opens the entire spiritual world, where the soul meets its Spouse and is immersed in Him.
In such a state, Satan is completely powerless, because his efforts to distract, scare and himself are simply unnoticed.
This state of soul ensures complete freedom - nothing that is not Me has access to your joy of union with Me.
- What should I do to be able to love like that?
+Fulfill My will and stay with Me.
Fulfill your will in the smallest things, stubbornly stick to Me, even in the face of external adversities, and desire My Love.
All this is contained in the virtues: faith, hope and love.
Give your heart with confidence and I will fill it with pure love.
And be patient and always ready to receive your Spouse.
I like to come unexpectedly.  Watch with hope of meeting.

- I can't help resisting to point out to people when they don't follow the discipline.
+You can, but only if there is no reluctance or condemnation in you.
You have to do it out of love for them, to help them, not because they bother you.
You should have a pure heart, full of forgiving love, regardless of their behavior or reactions.

+My Child, I chose you when I gave you life.  I have anointed you to be My witness and My bride.  May you walk with Me through the world, supporting and saving: with your testimony, sacrifice and your prayer.
I lead you - I am your Lord and Spouse.  I feed you, support you, soothe you and fill you with Myself.  You are in Me, like an embryo in its mother's womb: evil has no access to you.
And when, due to inattention or internal laziness, you lean out of the bosom of My love, I instruct you and call you.
My love embraces you and trains you so that you can accept My graces and fulfill your vocation.  I love you and I want your devotion and trust.
It will always be like this, all your days on earth, so that you will live in eternity in My heart, so that you can enjoy the happiness that I have prepared for you for all eternity.
I am your shepherd, your everything here on earth and forever in heaven.
I watch your every step.  I smile when I meet your trusting gaze.  And I feel sad when your eyes wander away from Me.
I want your heart and your eyes, because the heart gives birth to love and the eyes speak about it.
You saw My look: I told you so much then.
Remember that.  Carry in your heart this look of Mine - this is my confession of love.
Remember all My touches on your heart.  Feed on them, this is your true life-giving food.  Making you come alive, because love is life.  Love gave you life - Live with love.
Feed others, revive their hearts, open them to the food of love flowing from My Heart.

- You show me, Lord, my shortcomings and weaknesses.  How much I neglect Your graces and gifts.
+You came here to teach to notice it and want to change it.
Desire and ask, I want to help you.  All this is included in the resolutions from the previous retreats.
Write them down as a guide to your conduct and examination of conscience - every day and before confession:
- 1. Be faithful in small things:
+time, attitude towards people, accuracy and dutifulness in various activities.
- 2. Abide in the Lord regardless of conditions:
+constantly be aware of My presence, ask about everything, give everything, talk to Me constantly.
+During this retreat you will learn this so that what I have given you will not be wasted.
Yesterday I made you understand how much you have neglected, even though you still receive so much.

Ez 34:3

 
You were fed... but you did not feed the sheep.

+Today you will carefully analyze your attitude towards Me by answering the questions I will ask you through Psalm 23.

1 John 1:8

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

+Your faithfulness is being tested in many ways.  Temper your perseverance.  Love people regardless of how they are towards you.
+Whoever asks earnestly about My will in his behavior receives the answer.
Don't ask about others.  Ask what you should be like towards them to help them when they struggle with the weaknesses of their nature or the temptations of evil.
If someone needs support, they must not be abandoned.
You must do what I recommend and ignore people's reactions.
Only count on My opinion.
