my created love was joined to the ardor of His eternal love. This one grace
surpasses all others in its immensity. His Trinitarian Being enveloped me entirely,
and I am totally immersed in Him. My littleness is, as it were, wrestling with this
Immortal Might One. I am immersed in incomprehensible love and
incomprehensible torture because of His Passion. All that concerns His Being is
imparted to me also (Diary, # 1056)…
My heart is in ceaseless ecstasy, as it were, although outwardly nothing disturbs
my contacts with my neighbor or my attending to various matters. Nothing is
capable of interrupting my ecstasy, nor can anyone suspect it, because I have
asked God to protect me from detection by people. And together with this grace,
there entered my soul a whole ocean of light, enabling me to understand God and
myself. Amazement overwhelms me entirely and leads me as if into a new ecstasy
[aroused by the fact] that God has deigned to descend to me, who am so little
(Diary, # 1057).
And the Lord Jesus confirmed the exalted state of her soul in this life and in the next. She
wrote in her Diary:
(February 15, 1937) My daughter, My delight is to unite myself with you. It is
when you submit yourself to My will that you give Me the greatest glory and draw
upon yourself a sea of blessings. I would not take such special delight in you if
you were not living by my will. O my sweet Guest, I am prepared for all sacrifices
for Your sake, but You know that I am weakness itself. Nevertheless, with You, I
can do all things. O my Jesus, I beseech You, be with me at each instant (Diary, #
954)...
February 15, 1937. Today, I heard these words in my soul: Host pleasing to My
Father, know, My daughter, that the entire Holy Trinity finds Its special delight in
you, because you live exclusively by the will of God. No sacrifice can compare
with this (Diary, # 955)…
(February, 1937). You are already tasting now what other souls will obtain in
eternity (Diary, # 969)…
(January, 1938). Know, too, that the darkness about which you complain I first
endured in the Garden of Olives when My Soul was crushed in mortal anguish. I
am giving you a share in those sufferings because of My special love for you and
in view of the high degree of holiness, I am intending for you in Heaven. A
suffering soul is closest to My Heart (Diary, # 1487).
(May, 1938). I am and will be for you such as you praise Me for being. You shall
experience My goodness, already in this life and then, to the full, in the life to
come (Diary, # 1707).
