My heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners. If only they could understand thaqt I am the best of fathers to them and that it is for them that the blood and water flowed from my heart as from a fount overflowing with mercy. for them I dwell in the tabenacle as King of Mercy. I desire to bestow my graces upon souls, but they do not want to accept them. You , at least, come to me as often as possible and take these graces they do not want to accept. In this way you will console my heart. Oh, how indifferent are souls to so much goodness, to so many proofs of my love! My heart drinks only of the ingratitude and forgetfulness of souls living in the world. They have time for everything, but they have no time to come to me for graces.
So I turn to you-chosen souls, will you also fail to understand the love of my heart? Here, too, my heart finds dissapointment; I do not find complete surrender to my love. So many reservations, so much distrust, so much caution. To comfort you, let me tell you that there are souls living in the world who love me dearly. I dwell in their hearts with delight. But they are few. In convents too, there are saouls that fill my heart with joy. They bear my features; therefore the Heavenly Father looks upon them with special pleasure. They will be a marvel to Angels and men. Their number is very small. They are a defense for the world before the justice of the Heavenly Father and a means of obtaining mercy for the world. the love and sacrifice of these souls sustain the world in existence.The infidelity of a soul specially choen by me wounds my heart most painfully. Such infidelities are swords which pierce my heart.
