have the strength to detach Myself from those who loved Me so much,

and whom I saw feeling their hearts break in separating from Me.

Now, my child, listen to Me: I enclosed Myself in the Temple; and the
Lord wanted it so, that I might extend the Kingdom of the Divine Will in

my acts which I was to do in it, so as to let Me prepare the ground with

my human acts, and the Heaven of the Divine Will which was to be
formed over this ground, for all souls consecrated to the Lord. I was

most attentive to all the duties which were usually done in that holy

place. I was peaceful with everyone, nor did I ever cause any bitterness

without my child; it was precisely for my children that I prepared the

Kingdom of the Divine Will. Ah! if all the souls consecrated to the Lord
in holy places would make everything disappear in the Divine Will, how

happy they would be, converting the communities into many celestial

families, and populating the earth with many holy souls. But, alas, with
