The Book of Heaven
—Unofficial Version—

August 17, 1905

All the glory of a soul is to be told that, of everything she has, nothing is hers, but all is of God.

Continuing in my usual state, I saw the Queen Mama who was saying to Our Lord:  “Come - come into her garden to delight”, and it seemed that She was pointing to me.  On hearing this, I felt full of blushes, and I said to myself:  ‘I have nothing good at all – how can He delight?’  As I was thinking of this, blessed Jesus told me:  “My daughter, why do you blush?  All the glory of a soul is to be told that, of everything she has, nothing is hers, but all is of God; and I, in exchange, say to her that everything that is mine is hers.”  And while He was saying this, it seemed that my little garden, which He Himself had made, would unite with His, most extensive, which He kept in His Heart, and they would become one, and we would delight together.  Then I found myself inside myself.
