From that time on, I did not think about it so much; I
did as much as I could in order to content Him, and I prayed

that He Himself would teach me what I should do in order to
repair for the time past. And He said to me: “I AM ready to
do what you want. See, the first thing that I told you I wanted
from you was the imitation of My Life; so, let us see what

you lack.”
“Lord,” I said to Him, “I lack everything I have nothing.”

“Well then,” He said to me, “do not fear, little by little we
will do everything. I Myself know how weak you are, but it
is from Me that you must draw Strength.” (I don’t remember

people mortify you, insult you, contradict you, you keep
your gaze fixed in Me, thinking that from My own Lips I

AM saying to you: ‘Daughter, I Myself AM the one who
wants you to suffer this not the creatures. Remove your
gaze from them; but you and I, always all others you must

destroy. See, I want to render you beautiful by means of these
sufferings; I want to enrich you with merits, work your soul,
render you similar to Me. You will give it to Me as a gift,
