✞ Signs to know whether the soul is in Grace.
As I was in my usual state, my sweet Jesus made Himself seen stripped, shivering with cold, telling me: "My daughter, cover Me and warm Me, for I am cold. See, with sin the creature had stripped herself of all goods, and I wanted to form for her a more beautiful garment, weaving it with my works, beading it with my Blood, and adorning it with my wounds. But what is not my sorrow in seeing this garment, so beautiful, being rejected, as creatures content themselves with remaining naked? And I Myself feel stripped in them, and I feel their cold. Therefore clothe Me, for I need it."
And I: ‘How can I clothe You? I have nothing.’ And He: "Indeed you can clothe Me - you have my whole Will in your power. Absorb It within you and then release It, and you will make Me the most beautiful garment - a garment of Heaven and divine. Oh, how warmed I will be! And I will clothe you with the garment of my Will, so that we may be clothed with one single uniform. This is why I want it from you: so that I may give it to you with justice. If you clothe Me, it is fair that I clothe you, to repay you for what you have done for Me. All the evil in man is that he has lost the seed of my Will; therefore he does nothing but cover himself with the greatest crimes, which degrade him and make him act like a madman. Oh, how many follies they are about to commit! Fair penalty - since they want to have their own self as God."
