The works without interior spirit and upright intention bloat the soul.


As I was in my usual state, I saw only a shadow of blessed Jesus, and He told me only: "My daughter, if a food could be separated from its substance and someone ate it, it would be of no use, or rather, it would serve to bloat his stomach. Such are the works without interior spirit and without upright intention: being emptied of divine substance, they are of no use, and serve only to bloat the person; therefore he receives more harm than good."
