How the Communion of the Divine Will is not subject to being

consumed; its veils are intangible. She longs for Heaven, and
therefore she is melancholic, and puts all Creation in melancholy.

Having received Communion, I remained afflicted and distressed,
because the fits of coughing were such and so many that I felt I was
suffocating, and I could neither think, nor be with Jesus according to my

heat to fecundate you and to make you grow; as food to nourish you. It

everything; It is always in the act of giving Itself to you, if you just want
