… And Jesus, to give me strength, made Himself seen for a little while and told me: “My daughter, in creating man, Our Divinity issued from Ourselves Sanctity, Love, Goodness, Beauty, and so forth, which were to serve man to make himself holy, good, beautiful, and to give Us love for love. Now, Our divine goods have not been taken completely by him, and so they are waiting for one who would take them. Therefore, come into Our goods, come to take the crumbs of Sanctity, of Love, of Goodness, the crumbs of Beauty, of Strength. I say crumbs in comparison with those which you will leave out, because Our goods are immense, and what the creature can take can be called crumbs compared to what she leaves out; but, for her, they fill her so much as to overflow outside. Only then is Our Love content—when It sees the creature loved in Our goods, filled to the brim. Now, these crumbs form many different foods, one more beautiful than the other, which she takes from Our celestial table, and she nourishes herself abundantly from these divine foods; and since one gives of that food which one takes, so, in giving Us her acts—of one who has nourished herself of these divine crumbs which give of sanctity, of beauty, of strength, of love, and has filled herself with such beauty, We immediately recognize that it is food of Our crumbs that she gives Us in her acts, and—oh! how content We remain, that the creature gives Us her acts that give of what is divine; We feel Our fragrances, We touch Our Sanctity and Goodness, and feel requited for the crumbs We gave her.”
