Divine Will for every day of the year - April 9, 1900 Volume 3

This morning, having received Communion, I was in a sea of bitternesses for I did not see my highest Good, Jesus.  I felt all of my interior alarmed when, in one instant, He made Himself seen and told me, almost reproaching me:  “Don’t you know that not abandoning oneself in Me is wanting to usurp the rights of My Divinity, giving Me a great affront?  Therefore, abandon yourself, calm all your interior in Me, and you will find Peace; and in finding Peace, you will find Me.”  Having said this, He disappeared like a flash, without letting Himself be seen any more.  Ah! Lord, keep me, Yourself, all abandoned and well clasped in Your arms, so that I may never escape; otherwise I will always make my little escapes!
