September 5 - First
Saturday
— The suffering of the beloved souls and the victims of Jesus are
His glory, His triumph. How sublime, how beautiful is the path of
the elected ones of the Lord! The crucified one of Jesus suffers
with the souls that surround her, but the day will soon come when
all the pain will be transformed into joy.
Jesus is happy, Jesus has found consolation in those who suffer.
Pain is the greatest proof of the love of Jesus towards the soul and
of the soul towards Jesus. Pain is the salvation of sinners.
— Jesus, has my martyrdom saved many souls?
— Thousands, thousands; soon you will see, little impetuous one of
Jesus.
— Jesus, that Father Joseph about whom You complained some time ago,
and for whom I was suffering, is he saved?
— He
is, yes, my little one. He is saved, but he is deep in Purgatory. He
needs prayers, many prayers. He offended Jesus very much, but his
contrition, his pain, were great. What immense fortune for a
crucified spouse of Jesus to give Him souls that have hurt and
injured Him so much!
— Blessed be all the pain that You give me, blessed be the curing of
souls!
— Listen, beloved daughter. In the name of Jesus tell your dear
Father, assure him, that he is greatly loved by Jesus and Mary. The
love of Jesus surpasses all abandonment by men.
Men
are blind, but the time will come that they will cry over their
blindness. Jesus reigns, Jesus triumphs, Jesus did not will that His
favorite son should give up his position. He will always be, in time
and in eternity, the spiritual father, the guide and light of the
Jesus’s little love-crazed girl.
Jesus requests that the doctor of His crucified one asks the
Archbishop to take up His triumphant cause of the consecration of
the world to the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin-Mother.
May
they listen to the voice of Jesus, may they be intent on saving
the world, on saving Portugal.
Jesus loves Dr. Azevedo and showers upon him all His love and divine
graces. May the investigations come
if that’s what they want, but without much delay, because Heaven is
approaching.
— Jesus, thank You for your caresses and for those of our Heavenly
Mother who has me in Her arms; She kisses me and caresses me
sweetly.
September 20
Triumph in me, my Jesus.
I
feel that the way I have so bitterly followed is coming to an end
and that I have been treading it only for your love, and for souls.
I
can almost enter Heaven; the storm is abating at the expense of much
pain. How torrential the rain! What fury, what fury that has wounded
my poor heart so much!
Blessed be You, my Love, blessed be your most holy hand that is
clearing from my way everything that hinders me from following You.
I
feel that the Heaven is almost fully open to receive me. Can I go in
now, my Jesus?
I do
not know what the present state of my soul is. It seems me that I am
between Purgatory and Heaven; most of the time I feel neither great
pain nor great joy. However, sometimes – have pity on me, Jesus – I
see myself on the edge of the abyss with nothing to support me, and
I am about to fall into it. And then You come to free me from the
horror, You support me, steer me away from it. And then I see myself
once more entrusted to the love of your blessed Heart, living in
hope.
I do
not fall, Jesus safeguards me, Jesus sustains me. And, little crazy
one for You that I am, I fling myself into Your divine arms and I
feel that, with abundant love, You enclose and cherish me.
With
Jesus, all bitterness is sweet, all pain becomes smooth. Ah, if only
souls knew the love of Jesus!...
September 30, after
Holy Communion
I
felt that Jesus united His divine lips with my lips, and also united
His divine Heart to my heart, opening up to receive me entirely, and
said to me:
— My
daughter, lips to lips, heart to heart, love to love to burn in a
single divine fire.
My
daughter, I have asked reparation from you for all things, finally I
am asking reparation for gluttony; I will not ask any more.
I am
so offended! People steal, trample underfoot the food of the poor.
The longing you feel for food is the longing that sinners have for
satisfying their appetites, their passions. The hunger that you feel
for food is the hunger I have to possess souls. Everything ends, but
not like my “soons”.
How
great is your glory! The world does not understand you, cheer up;
they didn’t understand Me either, and many don’t still understand
Me.
