God is present to the soul that loves.

January 10
The darkness of the sky surrounding your souls are light, and you do well that you do not see anything and you are in the midst of a burning bush. The burning bush, the air is filled with thick clouds, and the spirit does not see or understand anything. But God speaks and is present to the soul that feels, understands, loves and trembles.
Daughters mine, cheer up, do not expect to Tabor to see God already at Sinai behold. I think yours is not the inner stomach upset and unable to taste the good, he can no longer crave more than the highest good in itself and not in their gifts. From this arises which is not satisfied with what is not God.
The sense of your unworthiness and deformity interior is pure light of divinity, that puts your consideration both your being and your ability to commit, without his grace, any crime.
This light is a great mercy of God, and was given to the greatest saints, because it puts the soul beyond any sense of vanity and pride, and humility increases, which is the foundation of true virtue and perfection Christian. Santa Teresa also had this knowledge, and said that, at times, is so painful and horrible that could cause death if the Lord does not hold up the heart.
