Dear Jesus, Spouse of Mine

A memory I want to write down 

to always have it in memory.

Great were the graces that God gave me

on the 31st day of January 1869

while I was in the church 

to hear Holy Mass.

You gave me a great inspiration

to mortify my will in all things

and please the Lord

more and more.

And I felt the will to do it

but all my strengths not to be great enough.

´Oh great God !

You see my will which is to love You

and always try to stay away from offending You.

But my misery is so great, that I always do offend you.

Lord, open Your heart

and pour out a quantity of flames of Love

and with these flames, You ignite me

make me burn with Love.´

-

´Ah, my dear good daughter !

You can't believe

how great is the love that I bring you

how extraordinary the good I want for you

the hope I have to see you holy and extraordinary.

Therefore, courage in fighting !

Take courage !

That everything will be fine

and when you have things that disturb you

take courage to tell me !

And I, with the help of the Lord,

will try to quiet you

love God.

Do not forget about Me, 

poor sinner !´

-

I am your servant
