✞ The human will serves as brush for Jesus in order to portray His image in the heart.
As I was in my usual state, after I struggled very much, blessed Jesus came out from within my interior, and as I wanted to speak, He placed a finger on my mouth, telling me: “Be quiet, be quiet.” I was left so very mortified and no longer dared to open my mouth; and blessed Jesus, seeing me so mortified, added: “Dearest daughter of Mine, the necessity of the times brings silence, because if you speak to Me, your word binds my hands and I never come to the deeds, chastising as appropriate, and so we are always at the beginning. Therefore, it is necessary that there be silence between you and Me for some time.” And while He was saying this, a sign came out with written on it: “It is decreed: scourges, pains and wars.” And He disappeared.
