Jesus jokes with Luisa.

Continuing in my usual state, I was saying to myself: ‘Lord, manifest your Will to me - whether I must be in this state or not. What would You lose? It is a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ that You need to say.’ While I was saying this, blessed Jesus made Himself felt in my interior, and told me: "My daughter, I say that I want you to go out of this state of victim, but if you do it – woe!"

And I: ‘If You Yourself tell me that You would want me to go out of it, should I not do it?’ And He: "I must say it to you, push you, make violence on you, and you must not do it, because a daughter who is always with her father must know the temperament of the father, the time, and the cause. She must ponder everything well, and if needed, she must dissuade her father from giving her this command." And I: ‘I have not done it because obedience does not want it.’

And He, without giving me time: "And if they allow you to, woe to the one who does it!" On hearing this, I said: ‘Lord, it seems that this time You want to tempt me and create many embarrassments for me; I myself don’t know what to do.’ And He: "I wanted to joke a little bit with you. Do spouses not joke with each other sometimes? And could I not do likewise?"
