✞ If the soul suffers distractions at Communion, it is a sign that she has not given herself completely to God.
My children, so dear to me, I am in your midst and know I am asking something strange of you, but today I want you to be joyful. Upon your faces there are always signs of worry but this does not take away from your being able to smile.
Let us offer to Jesus our joys. Throughout the day, seek to find time for my Son and if you do it, with great satisfaction on your part, you will feel joy in your heart, that same joy that will sweeten the undertones of your faces.
My children, I understand that your times have little to do with joy but, for precisely this reason, you must demonstrate to your brethren that, for all who love Jesus, a smile upon the lips is born spontaneously.
Everything good and beautiful depends upon how you live your days. If you carry Jesus within your hearts, a smile will burst forth automatically upon your face.
Be aware that the ancient serpent can do nothing against you if it is Jesus who dwells in your hearts. Live in the joy of life, true life, that eternal life that will be only joy, grace, beauty, love, consolation, and great and complete satisfaction.
You cannot realize how beautiful heavenly life is. Love will be the treasury that will enrich your living. Do not fix your eyes and your doing only upon earthly things, otherwise your faces will become all the more sullen.
You are my children; I love you infinitely and desire for you only joy and serenity. If your hearts are enriched with purity and, above all, that rare sentiment called forgiveness, I assure you that you will never have to regret it and joy will take the place of sullen thoughts and of sufferings.
Be happy, then, children. Think about that you have a Mother and her Son who wait for you to give you love, only love.
Mary, Mother of Love
