“Who knows,” I would say, “if this is not a joke that He has played
on me?” Every now and then, I would say to Him: “My Jesus,

darling, hurry up.”

And He would say to me: “Wait a little longer let us go
down to the earth again. See, out there, there is a sinner who

is about to be lost. Let us go who knows, he might convert.
Let us pray together to the Eternal Father, that He may use

Mercy on him. Don’t you want him to be saved? Are you not
ready to suffer any pain for the salvation of one soul alone?”
And I: “Yes, anything You want me to suffer, I am ready,
as long as you save him.”

So we would go to that sinner; we would try to convince
him, we would place before his mind the most powerful reasons

to make him surrender but in vain. Then, all afflicted, Jesus
would say to me: “My spouse, go back into your body once
again, take upon yourself the pains destined to him; in this
way, appeased, Divine Justice will be able to use Mercy on

him. You have seen it words have not stirred him, and not
even reasons; there is nothing left but pains, which are the
most Powerful means in order to satisfy Justice and to make

the sinner surrender.” So He would bring me once again to
my body. Who can say the sufferings that would come to me?

Only the Lord knows, who has been the witness of it. After

a few days, then, He would make me see that soul, converted
and saved. O, how happy was Jesus and I as well.

Who can say how many times Jesus played these jokes?
When We would reach the point of entering, and sometimes
even after having entered He would now say that He had not
let me have the obedience from the confessor, and therefore I

should go back to the earth. I would say to Him: “As long as
I was with the confessor, I was obliged to obey him, but now
that I am with You, I am supposed to obey You, because You

are the first of all.”

2 Into Heaven.
