Effects of disturbance. Continuous encounter of Jesus with the soul.

As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little, and since I had said to a soul who was disturbed:  ‘Think of not wanting to be disturbed, not only for your own good, but more so out of love for Our Lord, because a soul who is disturbed is not only disturbed herself, but makes Jesus Christ disturbed’, later I said to myself:  ‘What nonsense I spoke – Jesus can never be disturbed.’  Then, on coming, He told me:  “My daughter, instead of nonsense you spoke a truth.  In fact, in each soul I form a divine life, and if the soul is disturbed, this divine life that I keep forming also remains disturbed.  Not only this, but it never comes to being completed perfectly.”  And He disappeared like a flash.

Then I continued my usual interior work on the Passion, and as I reached the point of the encounter of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross, He made Himself seen again and told me:  “My daughter, the soul also I encounter continuously, and if in the encounter I make with the soul I find her in the act of exercising virtues, and united with Me, she repays Me for the sorrow I suffered when I encountered my Mother, so sorrowful because of Me.”
