P. 63
One day, while we were in this contrast, and the pain was so
great that I could not stop crying, my Good Jesus told me: “I want
to content you in everything. I feel so drawn toward you that I
cannot do without doing what you want. If up until now I have
removed from you the external life and I have manifested Myself
to you, now I want to draw your soul to Me, so that, wherever I

receiving a sight so beautiful. Ah! yes, at just seeing the
serenity of His adorable forehead, the infusion of Peace that
one receives in the interior is so great, that I believe that there
is no disaster, or war most fierce, which does not appease itself
before Jesus. O! my all and beautiful Jesus, if for the few
moments You manifest Yourself in this life You communicate
so much Peace, in such a way that one can suffer the most
painful martyrdoms, the most humiliating pains with the
most perfect Tranquility it seems to me a mixture of Peace
and of Sorrow what will it be like in Paradise? O! how
