February 1 – 1945. Holy hour.
"Don't be astonished
at My suggestion that you never cease asking for compassion, humility and gentleness.
Aren't these the hallmarks of your Bridegroom's heart and shouldn't you try to resemble
Him? Wouldn't you be happier if you had these qualities? And isn't it always your
happiness that I'm seeking? .. Ask My mother to give them to you and offer sacrifices
in exchange. Plant the seed of desire for them. And as always, ask Me to help you.
How happy a father
is when his child who cannot yet walk holds out his arms to him. And if the child
is tired, how he holds him to his heart! Who is happier, the father or the child?
If you only knew
what compassion really is - the compassion you must strive to imitate! Overlooking
everything to stoop to a heart's needs, paying no attention to any disappointments
or ingratitude, being even kinder to those who have hurt you. Just be your Christ
for them. If you make this your intention I'll be seen in you. You are so little
that you wonder how this could be. You know how grace gives unction to the voice,
the look, a gesture? You noticed that yesterday when your relative who had not seen
you for three years exclaimed, 'Oh, how I love you!' She was addressing Me in your
voice."
"Lord, I hope
people will always find flashes of You in me."

"Then disappear
more and more, My little girl. I am your infinite Ocean; flow over into Me. It is
so simple for you to lose yourself there. Since I'm waiting for you. One will only
- Mine. A single goal - the Father's glory. A single declaration - 'I love You with
all the strength of this heart that You gave me: That's all. And the Father takes
us together as a single offering.
One only: I - you."
