Tenderness of Jesus at the moment of death. How one who lives
in the Divine Will has primacy over everything.

I was feeling all afflicted because of the sudden death of one of my
sisters. The fear that my lovable Jesus might not have her with Himself
tormented my soul; and as my highest Good, Jesus, came, I told Him of

my pain, and He, all goodness, said to me: “My daughter, do not fear, is
there perhaps not My Will that makes up for everything, for the very
Sacraments and for all the helps that can be given to a poor dying one?

receive the Sacraments and all the helps of the Church that, like

because the dying enter into the sole and Prime Act with their Creator,
and to no one is it given to enter this Prime Act. And then, for one who
is not perverted, a sudden death serves in order to prevent the
diabolical action from entering the field his temptations, and the fears

that, with so much art, he strikes into the dying, because he feels them
being snatched from him, without being able to tempt them or follow
them. Therefore, what by men is believed to be disgrace, many times is

more than grace.”

After this, I abandoned all of myself in the Supreme Volition, and my
sweet Jesus, resuming His speaking, told me: “My daughter, one who

lives in My Will has primacy over everything and over all the acts of
