Page 59 - Virgin

Now, you must know that Saint Joseph and I looked at each other with

modesty, and we felt our hearts swollen, because each one wanted to
let the other know that we were bound to God with a vow of perennial

virginity. Finally, silence was broken, and we both manifested our vow.

Oh! how happy we felt; and thanking the Lord, we protested to live
together as brother and sister. I was most attentive in serving him; we

looked at each other with veneration, and the dawn of peace reigned in

humanity rising; and Heaven and earth embraced, reconciled, to
exchange the kiss of peace and of love. The earth disposed itself to

produce the seed in order to form the Just One, the Holy One; and

Heaven opened to let the Word descend into this seed.

enflamed; and while I burn, I feel a powerful strength within Me that
wants to conquer You. With the chains of my love I want to bind You in

order to disarm You, that You may delay no more; but upon the wings
