 - Another day has passed, full of Your blessings, when a series of events speak of Your caring love.

 Tomorrow I'm going to M.  for a Renewal in the Holy Spirit retreat.  What do you want me to do?

 + Silence and love.  Avoid outdoor activities.  Direct all your effort towards communing with Me.  There I will teach you this and it will be a period of My great glory in your heart.

 Don't ask for details - you'll find out everything in due time.

 - I give You, Lord this time of retreat.  Use me and do whatever you want.  I want to be useful and fulfill Your will.

 +You will fulfill it and it will be for My glory.

 - Should I continue to write down Your Words?

+Would you like to disrespect Me by not doing this?

 And break My will when I want to use you for others?

 - I don't want it, but I'm asking because I'm afraid of responsibility.

+So, fulfill My will out of concern for your responsibility to Me.

 Don't be influenced by what people say.  They say different things and not always good and true.

 - I would like to share Your tenderness and closeness...

+The heartache you feel, is a sign that I am granting your request.

 You received suffering instead of joy.

 - I give you this child of yours and ask it to find friendship and understanding in this new place.  Surround this house, Lord, with Your love.

 For this intention, accept the hardship and suffering experienced during this retreat.

+ I want you to desire to meet Me more, to leave everything like Mary, looking and listening...

 - You have already aroused in me this desire to immerse myself in Your love.

 The impossibility of satisfying this thirst gives a foretaste of hell.

 There can be no greater suffering than fully knowing Your Love with the awareness of complete separation from it forever.

 The very thought causes pain and fear.

+I gently made you feel what hell is, because your sensitivity could not bear any more.

 - I want Your love not only for myself.  Just as much for others and I can't do anything.

 +This desire is not worth less than the actions.  It makes you ready for all sacrificial acts.  Everything is born from the desire of the heart.

 I arouse in you a great desire and this has a purpose in your development and in your path.

 Desire will expand your heart and increase your happiness in Me.

 Song 4:1-13 Song 

How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride...

 You are a closed garden, my sister, my bride, a closed garden, a sealed fountain.

 +You could have rewritten the whole thing because that's what I wanted to tell you.  Also that your love is closed until I take you to Me.

 - You touched my heart and it trembles with the feeling of Your love.

 Something happened - you know what - my Spouse.

 Will the rest of my life be waiting on the threshold of Your love?

 +This will be and this will be your reality, and the other reality will become a passing dream.

 Your reality is me.  The world is but a passing shadow.

 Your life is My Love pulsing within you.

 - I would like to share all this with someone...

+ You share.  Your thought and your desire make it happen.

 Sat, 15 Aug 87, 10:25pm |  (After returning from my spiritual father)

 - So much of Your Love as a gift to a person, so much subtlety and kindness.  In them I meet You, and when You showed me what Your love is, You did it with their gesture.

 Why so?

 +You see, I like to come to a person in another person.  And I show it to you literally.  I want you to know, to know Me more and more deeply.

 I can do this through this son of Mine, because I know that My Love is in you and I want it to grow and become more beautiful constantly.  And I know that you do not diminish it with your humanity, because you are pure and free in Me.

 I want to connect people with My love.  I want them to become one in Me.  What unites, is Love, what divides is the lack of Love.

 - There's so much more I would like to say, but I can't...

+You have your own human limitations and some inhibitions too.  Don't pay attention to them, just follow your heart, if it is devoted to Me, it will tell you everything and do everything.

+Perseverance is the declaration of love I desire.

+What produces the heart brings greater fruit than what the hands and lips produce.

+Let this be your retreat resolution: Find silence in your heart, and in this silence Me, despite external situations and despite what others do.

 Those who teach you here take a different path.  You need to understand this, keep in your heart what is for you and stay on the path I have chosen for you.

 Your path is different, hitherto little known and not often accepted.

 The time will come when it will be universal.  It will be when evil in the world will die to such an extent that everyone will coexist with Me, like a child with the Father.

 It will be a time of pure love and universal holiness.  I will then unite My Church and My people in a new dimension of coexistence with Me.

 There will be no need to argue about dogmas or theology, because I will provide a new dimension of understanding and new principles of coexistence between man and his Creator.

 Don't let what others say discourage you or limit you.  Be silent, holy, persevering in sacrifice.

 Everywhere, wherever you are, recognize people for whom you must pray and who must be especially recommended to Me and helped.

 Don't back out of commitments based on changing feelings.

 I move your heart.  The first impulse of the heart is My voice in it.  Listen to it, not later doubts.

 1 P 5,2-4

 ...shepherd the flock of God that is with you, guarding it... willingly, as God wills... with devotion... as a living example to the flock.  And when the supreme Shepherd is revealed, you will receive an unfading crown of glory.

+Everyone needs support: both those at the beginning of the road and those on the way.

 Everyone has difficulties depending on where they are and who they are, and they will bless you for your help.

 A hidden offering is much more valuable.

 1 P 4:10 

As good stewards of God's manifold grace, serve one another with the gift that each of you has received.

 - I miss long, lonely meetings with You so much...

+My Child, I am here and I embrace you with Myself, and My Love calls you.  I am also in your longing and in your calling to Me.

 My love touches you and it is the wound and solace of your heart.  Spousal love burns within you.  It is the fire that burns you and is the heat of your soul.

+I always expect your love and your calls to support  yourself and others.  I want to help and be close, but I expect your desire and opening of your heart.  I want to give so much.  Come and take for My children who cannot do it themselves.

 Sirach 46,13.15.20 

Samuel, the prophet of the Lord, beloved by his Lord... By his homely character he was truly a prophet, and the truth of the vision was recognized by his words.

 ...He announced the fate to the king and raised his voice from the depths of the earth in prophecy to remove the iniquity of the people.
