which is too painful have patience, let us suffer together.”


            And while saying this, He would pour from His mouth into
            mine. But who can say what He poured? It seemed to be a
            bitter poison, a fetid rot, mixed with a food so hard, disgusting
            and nauseating, that sometimes it would not go down. Who can

            tell, then, the sufferings that this pouring of Jesus produced? If
            He Himself had not sustained me, I certainly would have died;

            yet, He would pour in me but the least part what must it be
            for Jesus, who contained tons upon tons of it? O! how awful
            sin is! Ah! Lord, let everyone know it, so that all may flee from
            this monster so horrible. But while I would see these scenes so

            sorrowful, other times, He would also make me see scenes so
            consoling and beautiful as to be enrapturing; and this was to see
            Good and Holy priests celebrating the Sacrosanct Mysteries.

            O God! how High, Great, Sublime is their Ministry. How
            beautiful it was to see the priest celebrating Mass, and Jesus
            transformed into him. It seemed that it was not the priest,
            but Jesus Himself that celebrated the Divine Sacrifice, and

            sometimes He would make the priest disappear completely, and
            Jesus alone would celebrate the Mass and I would listen to
            Him. O! how touching it was to see Jesus recite those prayers,

            do all those ceremonies and movements that the priest does.
            Who can say how consoling it was for me to see these Masses
            together with Jesus? How many Graces I received, how much
            Light, how many things I comprehended! But since these are

            past things, I don’t remember them too clearly, so I keep silent.


            But as I am saying this, Jesus has moved in my interior
            and has called me He doesn’t want me to do so. Ah! Lord,
            how much patience it takes with You. Well then, I will
            content You. O! sweet Love, I will say a few little things, but

            give me Your Grace to be able to manifest them, because, by
            myself, I would not dare to utter one word about Mysteries so
            Profound and Sublime.


            Now, while seeing Jesus or the priest celebrating the
            Divine Sacrifice, Jesus would make me understand that in


                                                              68
