LOVE OF GOD

You must speak to ...

You must speak to Jesus also with the heart, besides with the lips; indeed, in certain cases you must speak to Him only with the heart.

My daughter, may Jesus ...

My daughter, may Jesus always be the only center of our aspirations, sustain us with His grace, enlighten our mind and warm our heart always with new love for Him. Behold, this is the synthesis of all my desire which I place assiduously before Jesus for you and for me. May Jesus in his infinite goodness listen to them and grant them.

Do not worry over ...

Do not worry over things that generate preoccupation, and anxiety. One thing only is necessary: to lift up your spirit and love God.

A pure soul is ...

A pure soul is synonymous with a heart full of love of God.

The Heart of our ...

The Heart of our Divine Master has no more amiable law than that of sweetness, humility, charity. Often place your confidence in Divine Providence and be assured that sooner heaven and earth shall pass away than that the Lord neglect to protect you.

Thank and sweetly kiss ...

Thank and sweetly kiss the hand of God that strikes you, because it is always the hand of a Father who strikes you because He loves you.

My past, O Lord, ...

My past, O Lord, to your mercy; my present, to your love; my future, to your providence!

You must always have ...

You must always have prudence and love. Prudence has the eyes; love has the legs. Love which has the legs would like to run to God, but its impulse to rush towards Him is blind and at times might stumble, if it were not guided by prudence which has the eyes. When prudence sees that love could become unbridled it loans its eyes to love. In this way love restrains itself and, guided by prudence, acts as it should and not as it would like.

God loves man with ...

God loves man with an infinite love and when He punishes He does so with reverence, almost fearing to hurt.

Always live under the ...

Always live under the eyes of the Good Shepherd and you will walk unharmed through evil pastures.

God can reject everything ...

God can reject everything in a creature conceived in sin and which bears the indelible impression inherited from Adam. But He absolutely cannot reject the sincere desire to love Him.

Are we sufficient of ...

Are we sufficient of ourselves to form one holy desire without grace? Certainly not! Faith teaches us this. If in a soul there is nothing else but the longing to love its God, everything else is there already, because God is not present where there is no desire of his love. Say to God: Do you want greater love from me? I have no more. Give me more, therefore, and I will offer it to you. Don't doubt: God will accept this offer.

Have you not for ...

Have you not for sometime loved the Lord? Do you not love Him now? Do you not long to love Him forever? Therefore: Do not fear! Even conceded that you had committed all the sins of this world, Jesus repeats to you: Many sins are forgiven you because you have loved much!

You are trying to ...

You are trying to find the highest good: but, in all truth, it is within you and holds you stretched out on the naked cross, instilling strength to sustain the insupportable martyrdom, and also to love bitterly. Say to Our Sweetest Lord, and say it always: "I want to live by dying, because from death comes life which does not dies and assists life to raise the dead".

Let us follow the ...

Let us follow the advice of David: "Raise your hands in the holy places during the night and bless the Lord". Yes, children, let us bless Him always and let us pray that He will always be our guide, ship, and our port.

If Jesus reveals Himself, ...

If Jesus reveals Himself, thank Him; if He hides Himself thank Him also. All is a peasantry of His love. May the merciful and compassionate Virgin continue to obtain for you from the ineffable goodness of the Lord the strength to endure to the end so many proofs of charity which He bestow on you. My wish for you is that you will come to expire on the Cross with Jesus and be able sweetly to exclaim in Him: "Consummatun est!"

Often kiss Jesus with ...

Often kiss Jesus with affection and you will recompense Him for the sacrilegious kiss of the unfaithful Apostle, Judas.
