In these sad times, in which many souls fall away from God , I can not persuade me that you can live the true life without food for the strong. In these times when we are constantly surrounded by people who have at heart the hatred of God and blasphemy on his lips , the sure way to keep away from smelly spread around us , is to strengthen the eucharistic meal .Now, stay blameless and progress in life of perfection may not reach those who live for months without meat fed with the immaculate Lamb of God . I do not know what others think on this point ; for me , given the particular circumstances in which we live is always illusory to convince advancing towards perfection which is limited to Communion once or twice a year.
( May 9, 1914 , to Raffaelina Cerase - . Ep II , p 87 . )
The Christian who is convinced that only the mercy of God can make us docile to the Spirit of truth and holiness , which is the Spirit of the Risen Christ child , is the Christian who accepts the truth and holiness offered by our Good Father God. Is required for a deep humility and a humble living the truth in one's life to discover the work of God in humanity and in every one of the people around us . This is only attainable through the food that God gives us every day and we received undeserved and unworthy by his grace alone . This Food is the Most Holy Body and Holy Blood of Jesus Christ . Let us go regularly every day at Sacred Feast of the Wedding of the Lamb and the blancmange saciémonos sky which is his Body and Blood. Food and drink that give eternal life and keep us ever faithful to the love of God and our faith.
May 22Unite your heart to the heart of Jesus and be always simple heart , as he wants . Strive to imitate the simplicity of Jesus , taking away the heart of earthly prudence , of carnal artifices . Try to always have a pure mind in thought, always right in his ideas and always holy in its intentions ; and also will not find another more than God , his pleasure , his glory and honor thing .Reflejémonos , my dear, in Jesus, who leads a hidden life . All his infinite majesty is hidden in the shadows and silence of that modest shop in Nazareth . Therefore, let us also bring us a deeply interior life hidden in God .

The loving heart desires nothing more than love itself. Why we have to unite our hearts so closely to the heart of Jesus is existentially only a heart that beats in unison. Sew impossible? Not for those who believe, for those who believe that anything is possible. This is achieved by discovering the immense and amazing love God has for us . Be attentive to this as we love and discover the wonders that God works through us, with us and for us. Because Jesus loves us just as the Father loves Him and not otherwise . We love to once and for all , with an ever faithful and infinite love . With eternal love without measure. The loving heart of God can transform our lives absolutely even in the darkest moments of our lives. Even in times when dense clouds of pain, suffering and darkness cross our sea life . It is precisely this stay together that makes us realize the importance of knowing suffering and suffering well . Suffering in the heart of Jesus. When we suffer with Him then also be possible that our joy is perfect for staying always in full union as the branch is to life. Hoped for in this love and always remember that God is faithful. Experience a deep , intense and hidden in God as the fish can not be out of the water because they perish, so is your life , your mind, your soul, your body and your heart, so closely united to God through inner life his Son Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit if you break it you can die . All this in the most intimate secret that true love requires .
May 10Holiness means to be better than ourselves , means perfect victory over all our passions , mean real and constantly despise ourselves and the things of the world to prefer poverty to wealth , humiliation to glory, the pain pleasure. Holiness is to love our neighbor as ourselves and to love God. Holiness , at this point, is to love who curse us , hate us , persecute us , even to do good . Holiness is living humble, unselfish , prudent , just, patient, charitable , chaste, meek , hardworking, observant of one's duties , for no other purpose than to please God , and him only to receive the deserved reward.In short , in the language of the sacred books , holiness, oh Raffaelina , possesses in itself the virtue of transforming man into God.

Within the framework of Easter of the Lord Jesus , our God and Savior , we find once again faithfulness , holiness, and glory and offer blessing to all those men and women who truly believe in Him is no doubt that the holiness is quite simply to die to ourselves. Die to ourselves to shine God's love in our lives. Sounds easy but it is very difficult especially when it is anchored to the pleasures of this world. And when I say I do not mean just pleasures , or only those who themselves are bad because we stray from God, but I also mean those who are not moving away from God , they become sweet to us. For example , before a recognition from someone. When you consider yourself worthy , deserving of such recognition, and not only that, but even looking or what you claim , then you are no longer being free to love God. To die by your own " Yo" means letting the Spirit of the Risen Jesus leads and your life . It means that you can see with the eyes of Jesus Christ. It means you can live with the Holy Spirit not as a hero but as a witness of the love of God in the world, loving and serving everyone as He has taught us . Thus, holiness is the possibility of becoming one who has shared everything with You.

Our Lady Immaculate and was pleased to spiritual flower you've offered through my hands. Our good Mother found it , yes , indeed a little withered , because of the rather cold dew that fell on him ; but a very slight defect , and you must make it regains its freshness with the warmth of charity .Yes , my dear, never anything you should look too at this virtue , and although I see you well ahead on it , however I will never process add my exhortations to Abundes every day in charity, and virtue is preferred and highly recommended by the divine Teacher . That he wanted to do under a precept for all his followers , his own precept and all new, unknown to most of our ancient fathers of the Old Covenant .

A day before His Passion , our Lord Jesus Christ would give us an example of how we serve. This unique form of service is not a simple social work, but in the great work of charity. This is the true serve well and serve with love and for love : serving with love. Too often we strive to offer God a lot and is good to do , and do it forever. To Mary, our Mother and the Mother of Jesus usually constantly giving beautiful bouquets of roses both physical and spiritual . Have you ever wondered how to deliver these roses to our Mother ? Have you ever wondered if you like receiving them ? Have you ever wondered if those roses are supported by your works, your behavior, your way of living ? It is necessary to strive in the deep , existential and transformative experience of the charity is the mother of all virtues . Otherwise , all our other good works will pale in the darkness and the darkness caused by the lack of charity to our brothers. May Mary our Mother and model of charity exercised in service to his Prima Isabel not only receive your welcome bouquet of fresh roses, but also cultivate in you the desire to be better every day in service, under implementation charity and the desire to be always the one word and deed des testimony of this virtue in your life.
