✞ By living her nothingness, the soul is filled with God.
Volume 8 — Entry 17
Having received Communion, I found myself within a great light – it was Jesus Himself, and He said to me: "My daughter, everything which is light is all Mine – not of the creature. It happens as to a person who is invested by the rays of the Sun: if he wanted to attribute the light which he enjoys to himself, he would be foolish and brainless. However, there is this: that that person, instead of enjoying the light of the Sun, could say, ‘I want to walk in the shade’, and withdraw from the light; while the soul, in withdrawing from my light, becomes darkness, and darkness can produce nothing but evil."
