“I want,” He said to me...

“that all your things, even the necessary ones, be done in a spirit of sacrifice.

See, your works cannot be recognized by Me as Mine, if they do not have the imprint of mortification. Just as a coin is not recognized by the peoples if it does not carry on itself the image of their king - even more, it is despised and neglected - the same with your works. If they do not have the graft with My Cross, they cannot have any value. 

See, now it is not about destroying the creatures, but yourself - making you die in order to live only in Me, and of My own Life. It is true that it will cost you more than what you have done. But pluck up courage, do not fear: it is not you who will do it, but I Myself will operate in you.”

So I received more lights about the annihilation of myself. 

He said to me: “You are nothing but a shadow. As you try to grab it, it escapes you. You are nothing.” I felt so annihilated, that I would have wanted to hide in the deepest abysses, but I saw myself incapable of doing it. I felt such blushing that I remained mute. 

While I was in this undoing of my nothingness, He said to me: “Draw near Me, cling to My Arm, I will sustain you with My Hands, and you will receive Strength. You are blind, but My Light will serve you as guide. See, I will place Myself in front of you, and you will do nothing but look at Me, in order to imitate Me.”
