✞ Jesus hides to see what the soul does.
Volume 7 — Entry 71
Continuing in my usual state, after I struggled very much, He came. As soon as I saw Him, I said: ‘The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.’ And blessed Jesus added: “The Verbum took flesh, but did not remain flesh - He remained as He was; and just as ‘verbum’ means ‘word’ and there is nothing that has more influence than the word, ‘The Word’ means manifestation, communication, divine union with the human. So, if the Word had not taken flesh, there would have been no other means to be able to unite God and man.” Having said this, He disappeared.
