The Book of Heaven
—Unofficial Version—

November 2, 1905

The soul must conform to the Divine Will, and if she does so, Jesus makes her live of Himself and in Himself.

As I was in my usual state, I was very afflicted because of the privation of my adorable Jesus; and I was saying:  ‘Ah, Lord, I want nothing but You, I find no other contentment but in You alone – and You have left me so cruelly?’  While I was saying this, He came out from within my interior and told me:  “Ah, it is so?  I alone am your contentment?  And I find all my contentment in you.  So, even if I had nothing else, you would render Me happy.  My daughter, a little bit of patience until the wars begin, for then we will place ourselves in order as before.”  And I, without knowing myself what I was saying, said:  ‘Lord, let them begin.’  But immediately I added:  “Lord, I was wrong.’  And He:  “Your will must be mine; nothing must you want, be it even a holy thing, which is not conformed to my Will.  In the circle of my Will do I want you to go around always, without going out of it for one instant, so that I may render you the master of my very Self.  Do I want the war? You too.  And with the soul who comports herself in this way, I make of my Being a circle around her, in such a way as to make her live of Me and in Me.”  And He disappeared.
