You were wrong in being so disturbed. 

Don’t you know that I AM Spirit of Peace, and the first thing I recommend is that you do not perturb the Peace of the heart?

When in prayer, you are not able to recollect yourself, I do not want you to think of this or that—of how it is and how it is not—because by doing so, you yourself call the distraction.

Instead, when you find yourself in that state, the first thing is to humble yourself, confessing yourself as deserving of those pains, placing yourself in the arms of the executioner, like a humble little lamb that, while he kills it, licks his hand. 

So you—while seeing yourself beaten, disheartened, alone, you will resign yourself to My Holy Dispositions, you will thank Me wholeheartedly, you will kiss that hand of Mine that strikes you, recognizing yourself unworthy of those pains. 

Then, you will offer to Me those bitternesses, anguishes, tediums, praying Me to accept them as a sacrifice of Praise, of Satisfaction for your sins, of Reparation for the offenses that they give Me. 

By doing so, your prayer will ascend before My Throne as most fragrant incense. It will wound My Heart, and you will draw new Graces and new Charisms upon yourself. 

In seeing you humble and resigned [opgegeven], all sunken into your nothingness, the devil will not have the strength to get close. And here is how, where you thought you were losing, you will make great gains.
