The Book of Heaven
—Unofficial Version—

July 2, 1906

With her sufferings, she forms a ring for Jesus.

As I was in my usual state and my sufferings kept increasing a little, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: "My daughter, truly I want to take you, because I want to disengage Myself from the world."

It seemed He wanted to tempt me, but I did not say anything about His taking me, because obedience was opposed, and also because I am sorry for the world. In the meantime, He showed me His hand; He had a most beautiful ring with a white gem on His finger, and many little gold rings were hanging from this gem, which were intertwined and formed a beautiful ornament for the hand of Our Lord. He kept showing it, so much did He like it, and then He added: "You have done this for Me in these past days by means of your sufferings, and I am preparing a more beautiful one for you."
