2 TIMOTHY 1:7

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

July 11. “Disturbances, fears, little mistrusts, are the night of the soul and make her see all things as opposite to what they are.”

The light in order to comprehend Luisa.

My sweet Jesus continues to make Himself seen only very few times, and almost always in silence. I felt my mind all confused and full of fear that I might lose my sole and only good, and about many other things, which it is not necessary to say here. Oh, God, what pain!

While I was in this state, He made Himself seen for just a little; He seemed to carry a light, and from that light many other little globes of light were coming out. Jesus told me:

“Remove every fear from your heart. See, I have brought you this globe of light to place it between you and Me, and among those who approach you.

For those who approach you with an upright heart and to do good to you, these little globes of light that come out, will penetrate into their minds, will descend into their hearts, will fill them with joy and with celestial graces, and they will comprehend with clarity that which I operate in you.

Those, then, who will come with other intentions, will experience the opposite, and will be dazzled and confused by these little globes of light.”

So I remained more tranquil. May everything be for the glory of God.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:

“My Jesus, I unite my sufferings to Yours, my prayers to Yours, so that they may be more acceptable before the Majesty of God, and may appear not as my things, but as Your own works.”
