✞ The love from the earth renders Jesus more content, because the love of Heaven is His own, while He wants to gain that of the earth.
Volume 10 — Entry 38
This morning, while seeing my sweet Jesus, I felt a fear in me that it might not be Him, but the devil, to deceive me. And Jesus, answering my fear, told me: "When I am the one that goes to the soul, all of her interior powers are annihilated and recognize their nothingness; and I, seeing the soul humiliated, make my love over abound like many streams, in such a way as to inundate her and strengthen her in good. All the opposite happens when it is the devil."
