[5-6pm]

O Celestial Mama... 

the hour of the separation is approaching... 

and I come to You. 

O Mother, give me your love and your reparations. 

Give me your sorrow, because together with You I want to follow, step by step, adored Jesus.

-

And now Jesus comes to You. 

And You, with heart overflowing with love, run toward Him.

And in seeing Him so pale and sad, your Heart aches with pain.

Your strengths leave You, and You are about to fall at His feet.

-

O my sweet Mama... 

do You know why adorable Jesus has come to You? 

Ah! - He has come to say the last good-bye. 

To tell You the last word, to receive the last embrace!

-

O Mother... 

I cling to You with all the tenderness of which my poor heart is capable. 

So that clinging and bound to You, I too may receive the embraces of adored Jesus. 

Will You perhaps disdain [minachten] me? 

Isn’t it rather a comfort for your Heart to have a soul near You... 

who would share its pains, affections and reparations?

-

O Jesus... 

in such a harrowing [schrijnend] hour for your most tender Heart... 

what a lesson of filial and loving obedience to your Mama You give us! 

What a sweet harmony passes between You and Mary! 

What a sweet enchantment of love rises up to the throne of the Eternal One... 

and extends for the salvation of all creatures of the earth!

-

O my Celestial Mama... 

do You know what adored Jesus wants from You? 

Nothing but your last blessing. 

It is true that from every particle of your being, nothing but blessings and praises come out for your Creator. But Jesus, in taking leave of You, wants to hear the sweet word: "I bless You, O Son". 

And that "I bless You" removes all the blasphemies from His hearing. And descends, sweet and gentle, into His Heart. Jesus wants your "I bless You", almost to place it as a shelter, from all the offenses of the creatures.

-

I too unite myself to You, O sweet Mama. 

Upon the wings of the winds, I want to go around the heavens... 

to ask the Father, the Holy Spirit and all the Angels, for an "I bless You" for Jesus... 

so that, as I go to Him, I may bring Him their blessings. 

And here on earth, I want to go to all creatures... 

and ask, from every lip, from every heartbeat, from every step... 

from every breath, from every gaze, from every thought...

blessings and praises for Jesus. 

And if no one wants to give them to me... 

I intend to give them for them.
