Other times, He would say to me: 

“I also want that, if people mortify [vernederen] you, insult you, contradict you, you keep your gaze fixed in Me, thinking that from My own Lips I AM saying to you: ‘Daughter, I Myself AM the one who wants you to suffer this - not the creatures. Remove your gaze from them. But you and I, always. All others you must destroy. 

See, I want to render you beautiful by means of these sufferings. I want to enrich you with merits, work your soul, render you similar to Me. You will give it to Me as a gift, you will thank Me affectio-nately, and will be grateful to those people who give you the occasion to suffer, repaying them with some benefit. 

By doing this, you will walk as upright before Me. 

Nothing will ever again give you restlessness, 

and you will always enjoy peace.”
