Your pains are Mine... 

and I suffer together with you. 

Therefore Courage, abandon yourself in Me and you will find the Strength for your sufferings. The soul who abandons herself in Me grows like a baby who is kept under the care of his mommy, who swaddles him to let his members be strengthened, feeds him with her milk, holds him in her arms, kisses him, caresses him. 

And if he cries, she mixes her tears with those of her baby. So, the mother is the life of her baby. O! if the little one didn't have his mother, how badly he would grow without the one who feeds him with her milk, without clothing—without her warmth. He would grow sickly, weak and lonely, only a miracle can make him survive. 

Such is the soul who Lives abandoned in My arms. She has her Jesus, who is more than a mother for her. I feed her with the milk of My Graces, I swaddle her with the Light of My Will, so that she may be Strengthened and Confirmed in Good, I keep her cuddled to My chest, so that she may feel only My Love and the ardent beats of My Heart, I rock her in My arms. If she cries I cry with her, so that I feel My Life as being more hers, while she grows together with Me, and I do with her what I want. 

On the other hand, one who doesn't live abandoned in Me... 

lives as though isolated, without milk... 

with nobody to take care of her existence.

The soul who Lives abandoned in Me... 

finds the refuge from her sufferings. 

The hiding place in which to hide so that nobody can touch her. If anybody wants to touch her, I will know how to defend her. Because touching the one who loves Me is even more than touching Myself. I hide her in Me, and I confound those who want to strike the one who loves Me. 

I Love the one who lives abandoned in Me so much that I make of her the Greatest Portent, so as to astonish the whole of Heaven and to leave all confused those who believed they could strike her and leave her covered by shame and humiliation. 

Let's not add this to the many Pains We already suffer, since it would be the most Painful one: you, not living all abandoned in Me, and I in you. 

My daughter, let them say and do, as long as they don't touch Our Union. Nobody can enter into Our Secrets, in the abysses of My Love; nor can they stop Me from doing what I want with My creatures. Let us Live, one Will, and all things will be fine between you and Me.
