I was saying to my beloved Jesus: “Jesus, I love You, but my love is small; so I love You in your Love, to make it big. I want to adore You with Your adorations, pray in Your prayer, thank You in Uour thanksgivings.” Now, while I was saying this, my lovable Jesus told me: "My daughter, as you placed your love in Mine in order to love Me, your love remained fixed in Mine, and it became longer and larger within Mine — and I felt I was being loved the way I would want the creature to love Me. And as you adored in my adorations, and prayed, and thanked, these remained fixed in Me — and I felt I was being adored, prayed and thanked with My adorations, prayers and thanksgivings. Ah, My daughter, great abandonment in Me is needed! As the soul abandons herself in Me, I abandon Myself in her; and filling her with Myself, I Myself do all that she must do for Me. But if she does not abandon herself, all that she does remains fixed in her, not in Me, and I feel the work of the creature as full of imperfections and miseries — which cannot please Me."
