Burning Desire!

March 29



 You ask me a judgment about your love for God. But, dear child, how can you not feel this love yourself in your spirit? What else is this burning desire you manifest myself in your letter? Who has been the heart that burning desire to love the Lord? Did the holy desires do not come from him? If a soul there was nothing but a burning desire to love his God, everything is there, there is the same God, because God is not only where there is no desire for his love. Therefore, it is very quiet in relation to the existence of divine love in your heart. And if this yearning of yours are not satisfied, if you think you want more and more, without actually owning the perfect love, do not see this as a proof that you lack the love of God, appears rather that you should not say neverenough is enough, means that you can not and should not stop you on the path of divine love and holy perfection.
You know that perfect love can be expected when holding the object of this love, which in our case is the same God, so what to do are so many concerns and many discouragements useless?
Want to always want more confidence, and fear not. How can a soul that has been devoted entirely to celestial love, which seeks to please God's help, that you want and crave more and more the purest waters of this divine love, how can I say, that may one day leave of this world arid, cold, without desire of God? How can I say, that the soul leaves this world with the sign of the eternal condemnation? Is not that a contradiction? And believe everything that is not it an offense to the divine goodness, that rejects not only repentant souls, but is always in search of souls obstinate?
