From the Calendar--March 7, 1922 Volume 14

I was thinking about what is written, and I said to myself:  “Is it really Jesus that speaks to me, or is it a trick of the enemy and of my fantasy?”  And Jesus, on coming, told me:  “My daughter, my words are full of truth and of light, and they carry with them the substance and the virtue of transmuting the soul into the same truth, into the same light, and into the very good which they contain, in such a way that the soul not only knows the truth, but feels within herself the substance of operating according to the truth that she has known.  Moreover, My truths are full of beauty and of attraction, in such a way that the soul, taken by their beauty, lets herself be enraptured by them.  

“In Me everything is order, harmony and beauty.  See, I created the heavens; they alone could be enough—but no, I wanted to adorn them with stars, almost studding them with beauty, so that the human eye might enjoy more from the works of its Creator.  I created the earth, and I adorned it with many plants and flowers.  I created nothing which did not have its ornament.  And if this is in the order of created things, much more so in My truths, which reside in My Divinity, such that, while it seems that they reach the soul, they are like solar rays which, while they hit and warm the earth, yet never depart from the center of the sun.  And the soul remains so enamored with My truths, that she finds it almost impossible not to put into practice the truths that she has known, even at the cost of her life.

“On the other hand, when it is the enemy or the speculation of fantasy that want to speak about truths, they bring neither light, nor substance, nor beauty, nor attraction—they are empty truths, without life, and the soul does not feel the grace to sacrifice herself in order to put them into practice.  So, the truths that your Jesus tells you are full of life and of everything that My truths contain.  Why do you doubt?”
