I shall later write the chronicle of these last five days. For the time being I shall write what I receive for Father Pennoni.822
Jesus says:
“In my name, say the following to him: Gamaliel, Nicodemus, and Saul were ‘difficult doctors’ and sought to explain the supernatural to themselves - which they knew and accepted only theoretically - by way of what is natural. But when my Grace took them, for...even in their error there was a base which rendered error not malignant - something which I do not forgive, for it is malice which causes Me repugnance - when my Grace wanted them, they became the one who defended the first martyr, the one who took Me down from the cross, and the one who preached Me among the Gentiles with the power of a hurricane of grace.823
“Tell him this. And let him trust in Me. I can do all when I want to. I want all when I see humility, will, and rectitude. You love Me. The more you love Me, the more you will understand the miracles of Christ. Tell him this. And let this be your farewell as a sister and my viaticum.
“And also say to him, ‘There is a Beggar who is asking you for a piece of bread and some water for so many who are hungry and thirsty. Not for Himself. He is asking for your present pain. It is Jesus....’
“Let him go and remain in my peace. “I bless you.”
