Consummation of all our being in Love.

This morning, finding myself in my usual state, I was thinking about how we can consume ourselves in Love. My blessed Jesus came and told me: "My daughter, if the will wants only Me, if the intelligence is interested in knowing only Me, if the memory remembers nothing other than Me; here they are - the three powers of the soul being consumed in Love. The same for the senses: if one speaks only about Me, if he hears only all that regards Me, if he enjoys only my things, if he works and walks only for Me, if his heart loves only Me, if his desires desire only Me; here it is - the consummation of Love formed by the senses.

My daughter, love has a sweet enchantment, and it renders the soul happy and blind to all that is not love, making her all eyes for all that is love. Therefore, for the one who loves, whatever her will may encounter, if it is love she becomes all eyes; if not, she becomes blind, stupid and does not understand anything. The same for her tongue; if she has to speak about love, she feels many eyes of light flowing through her word and becomes eloquent; if not, she begins to stammer and ends up dumb. So for all the rest."
