continue to sing My Hymn of Love to
every nation;” I will continue to pour out
in your heart My delights and
consolations, like someone pouring
water from a jug into a glass, so will I fill
your heart with My Love;

A shadow passed my thoughts, and I was
thinking again of those who, my Lord,
calumniate Your message, with frenzy;
especially Your language of love.
pray for those, and bless your
persecutors to be able to obtain Mercy in
the day of Judgement; flesh and blood
will always brood evil and take pleasure
in doing evil; these same souls do not
talk about My sweetness nor of My
Divinity because their minds do not
know how to separate My Divine
sweetness from their own flesh and
blood's desires; no, they do not see that
there is a difference; when I speak, My
dove, with My Lips that are moist with
grace, holiness and sweetness, they do
not understand My sayings and cannot
fathom My purity in My Magnificence;
their hearts are so hard that it becomes
impossible for them to fathom the
brightness and the Divinity of My Heart;
this is why these hearts are eclipsed from
My Light, and in their perishable body
and thought they accuse Me that My
Words are excessive and sentimental;
these are of whom I say: “they are
strangers to Me and they do not know
Me ...”
ah, My delicate soul, you have tasted
My sweetness in My Divinity and I have
procured for your soul the taste of My
Magnificence and now look at you, look
at the immensity of your thirst for Me; I
have, My bride, as a Bridegroom newly
married, shown you how to be intimate
and at ease with Me, for nothing is dark

in My company; and so many have
learnt from you and I have obtained
great triumphs from the grace I have
given you; when your heart is bound to
Mine, there is no darkness, but delight
and joy all the days of your life;
Yahweh,
You who stepped out of Heaven,
like a bridegroom
coming out of his pavilion,
have shown me Your Face,
to enjoy Your sweetness;

Let the gossip of the wicked
hear and learn from David’s psalms
that their hostility against the sweetness
of Your Language is groundless;
Let them learn by reading Your psalms
that You are the Psalm of Your psalms,
and that Your Words, Lover of mankind,
are sweeter than honey,
even than honey that drips from the comb;
3
For this, by the mere memory
of the vision given to me
in Your immense graciousness,
my soul melts and is swept away,
once more, to the ground;
What shall I add to this?
What can one add
to such a sublime vision?
But Your generosity
deigned to reveal Yourself
to someone as unworthy as myself;
this was a free gift of Your great love;
You did not need
to take permission from anyone;
You wanted to show Yourself,
Your blessedness,
Your charm, Your radiance,
Your perfect beauty
and Your sweetness;
