True Life in God
Notebook 88
My Guardian and my Delight,
You give me more joy to my heart
than others ever knew,
for all the treasures
and kingdoms of the world
Joy of my heart,
show us all the light of Your Holy Face!
daughter, I give you My blessings and
My peace;
I will do marvellous things, for I will
draw water from the springs of My
Heart; and your feverish faces will be
refreshed; I will be your shade from the
heat of this tempest you are in; I will
come, daughter, in My Lordly style and
in My magnificence to overthrow the
proud of heart; and because I have set
My throne in you, daughter, you shall
not be mangled in this tempest; your
Loved One will carry you on His Wings
to ride the skies while pouring on you,
like rain, words of Wisdom from My
Heart;
1
and now your Guardian and your
delight asks you to lean on His Heart ....
ah, My beloved, what makes you run
away from My invitation? I am your
Maker and I have the right to invite
2
you
to rest in Me after your labours? your
mouth ceaselessly proclaimed the Truth
in all My assemblies, and from your lips
came praise and honour for Me, your
God; your eyes never turned away from
My Presence, but observed My ways,
may you be blessed for making your
Maker so happy!

I saw our Lord and King, while we were riding the
skies, sitting side by side with me, that He leaned
towards me and covered my head with the most
beautiful veil of white lace, which in its whiteness
was shimmering as though it had diamonds on it. He
closed the veil on me so that only my face was seen. I
understood that the veil symbolised His Words of
Wisdom, that He was pouring on me, covering me
entirely.

Jesus was referring to His invitation of having a
retreat or a pilgrimage in His Body (message of
January 26, 1997). I had not really responded to that
invitation.
then at the sound of My Name, your
ear was opened and every word coming
from My Mouth was heard like a melody
in you, like a thousand cantors chanting
their hymns, so was My Word heard in
your heart when you opened your ear to
receive My sweetest psalms; by lending
Me your ear just a little, you received
Wisdom’s sayings so that I, the Lord,
may be remembered in My Mercy by all
of you; no one could say: “He has left us
in the fangs of the Enemy...”
ah... then I asked you to be generous
and offer Me your heart as a token of
your love; quick to be generous, My
loved one, you gave it to Me placing it
quickly into My Divine Hands, so that I,
in My turn, fill it with love, steadfastness
and constancy; since then, I swore to
keep your heart for Myself alone, and
guard it like the pupil of My Eye;
and while My Eyes were gazing at this
frail heart, I said: “from this frailty My
Word will be heard saying to all nations:
‘God is near you, He will free all those
who call Him; and for all those who
thirst, He will give water; He will have
pity on the poor and feeble and He will
save the lives of many before His great
Day comes;’”
because of your generous offering I
promised to make out of your heart an
exultant sacrifice; “I, her Maker and
Spouse,
3
will sing to it My closeness so
that this heart would seek only My Holy
Face, and by drawing it into My Sacred
Heart, it will repulse all that is not Me,
but will thirst and desire all that is Me;”
your heart will be eager then to wait
on Me, your God, centering all your
affections you have had elsewhere, on
My Royal Heart alone; yes, all your
dispositions, your indispositions, your
delights, your sorrows, your joys, your
anguishes, your pastimes, your tears,
everything, yes everything would be
