the lights and comforts you is God

July 2

 That disturbs you and haunts you is satan, the lights and comforts you is God. The soul that is increasingly driven to self-abasement and humble themselves before their Lord, and at the same time is urged to suffer all, to bear all, to merit the approval of their heavenly Bridegroom can not fail to recognize that everything that comes of God. The deepest longings of the soul to love your Lord are not, can not be, hallucinations or delusions. So, I return to guarantee that is the grace of Jesus as the author of beautiful happens in you. So let your divine Spouse acting on you and lead you along the paths he wants. Everything you experience within yourself to see you surrounded by so many pious souls, all dedicated to love and serve God, it means that your soul with conviction and earnestly seeking its creator.  (July 14, 1914, to Raffaelina Cerase - Letters. II, p. 126)
