Notebook 88 True Life in God 911
offered to My Heart as someone offers to
the loved one, a bouquet of roses; this is
what I yearn for, from each one of you,
from the very core of My Heart;
having then directed your heart in
Mine, I knew that in this closeness I
would find My comfort and My delight;
to rejoice your soul, I would hide none of
My secrets from you; My Hands in which
you placed your heart are sensitive and
compassionate, My beloved, so do not
fear ...1 stretch out your hands towards
the Sanctuary ....2
I have given you a pair of hands which
I kissed and anointed with a blessing so
that they pluck out the thorns encircling
My Heart; I have blessed them so that
they do not weary of writing and remain
bound to Mine for all eternity; I have
anointed them so that in the end of the
ceremony,3 those hands will set a crown
of glory on My Head; have you not read:
“work from skilled hands will earn its
praise;”4 what can I give in return to you,
My chosen one, for all the miles you
have made for Me, and for all the hours
your feet stood, for My sake, in My
assemblies?
For my hunger You gave me
bread5 from Heaven,
for my thirst You offered me
living water spurting from Your Breast;
You have been gracious and loving to me,
abounding in goodness,
and You have never forsaken me.
I grew in Your Courts
where You courted my soul
and all that I have obtained
1 Then looking at my hands and taking them both in
His Hands, He said what followed.
2 By saying Sanctuary, I knew He was referring to
Himself; He took both my hands and while holding
them said what follows.
3 By using the word ‘ceremony’, Jesus means
‘mission’.
4 Si. 9:17.
5 Meaning ‘spiritual manna’.
came from You;
You spoke heart to heart with me
and allowed me to possess You,
and as a lamp shining above my head
You lighted my way
to show me by which way I should go;
Blessed be You, my Lord and my God
from everlasting to everlasting;
You have provided me;
why should I then have the honour
to be given something
in return of Your own deeds?
true, I have provided you with
everything, but the fruits of your labours
have touched My Heart; you have served
Me voluntarily and with these precious
offerings I can only be touched; so let Me
offer you a retreat and a pilgrimage in
My Body ....
Is this what Your Sacred Heart desires?
yes! yes .... come, you will have your rest
in My Body; forget yourself in Me so that
you take your resources from My Feet
upwards; just I and you, approach Me
you who desire Me and replenish
yourself from Me; I will offer you this
retreat and this pilgrimage in the
gardens of My Body; I will accompany
you everywhere and all the way to My
nuptial chamber of My Sacred Heart
where I always lead My chosen ones to
exhale on them My charms like a scent
of choice myrrh; while they repose their
head on My Sacred Heart I refresh them
from the living water from My Breast;
and like concord between brothers and
sisters, like a husband and wife who live
happily together, we will enjoy each
other’s presence;6
6 I started to understand that Jesus wanted me to be
all alone with Him for a while and this is why He did
not let me book any meetings for several weeks.
Jesus wants everyone to retreat in Him now and
then.
