The Book of Heaven
—Unofficial Version—

July 28, 1904

The soul who is detached from everything finds God in all things.

This morning, as I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for a little while and told me:  “My daughter, when the soul is detached from everything, in all things she finds God; she finds Him within herself, she finds Him outside of herself, she finds Him in creatures.  So, it can be said that for the soul who is completely detached, all things convert into God.  Even more, she not only finds Him, but contemplates Him, feels Him, embraces Him; and since she finds Him in everything, all things administer to her the occasion to adore Him, to pray Him, to thank Him, to draw close to Him more intimately.  And besides, your laments about my privation are not completely reasonable; if you feel Me in your interior it is a sign that I am not only outside of you, but also inside, as though in my own center.” 

I forgot to say at the beginning that the Queen Mama brought Him to me, and since I was praying Him to content me and not to leave me without Himself, blessed Jesus answered in the way written above.
