Finding myself in my usual state, I was lamenting to my sweet Jesus because of His privations, and I said to Him: ‘What a bitter separation! Separated from You - everything is over. I have remained as the most unhappy creature that can exist.’ And Jesus, interrupting me, told me: "My daughter, what separation are you talking about? Only then is the soul separated from Me, when she lets enter into herself something that does not belong to Me. Therefore, I enter into the soul, and if I find her will, her desires, her affections, her thoughts, her heart – everything as my own, I absorb her in Me, and I keep melting her will with Mine, with the fire of my Love, making them one. I melt her desires with Mine, her affections and thoughts with Mine; and once I have formed one single liquid, I pour it over my whole Humanity like a celestial dew, which is made of as many drops of dew for as many offenses as I receive – and they kiss Me, love Me, repair Me, and balm my embittered wounds. And since I am in the act of doing good to all, this dew descends for the good of all creatures.
But if I find something extraneous in the soul, which does not belong to Me, I cannot melt what is hers into mine, because Love alone has the virtue of melting and becoming one. Only similar things can mix together and have the same value. Therefore, if there is iron, thorns or stones in the soul - how can they melt? And then there are separations, unhappinesses.
So, if nothing has entered into your heart, how can I separate from you?"
