✞ Jesus hides to see what the soul does.
Volume 7 — Entry 71
Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: “My daughter, fear takes life away from love. Not only this, but also the very virtues which do not originate from love decrease the life of love in the soul. On the contrary, in all things love deserves preference, because love makes everything easy, while the very virtues which do not originate from love are like many victims that end up in a slaughter – that is, the destruction of the virtues themselves.”
