I tried eagerly not to offend Him but my bad inclination to evil was so strong that without a special grace from God I would have fallen into hell. Not knowing how to love Jesus caused me much concern but He in His infinite good-ness was never ashamed to humiliate me in order that He might become my Master.One evening when I was at prayer He came to bring peace to my soul. I felt myself entirely recollected and I found myself for a second time before Jesus Crucified. He said to me Look Daughter and learn how to love and He showed me His five open wounds. Do you see this cross these thorns these nails these bruises these tears these wounds this blood? They are all works of love; of infinite love. Do you see how much I have loved you? Do you really want to love Me? Then first learn how to suffer. It is by suffering that one learns how to love.Publisher: Catholic Way Publishing
