✞ The will of the soul abandoned to the Divine Will is opium for Jesus. Through abandonment, she becomes like another Humanity of Jesus. When earthly things render the air of the soul unbreathable, Jesus sends her the winds of adversities.
As I was in my usual state and my sufferings kept increasing a little, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: "My daughter, truly I want to take you, because I want to disengage Myself from the world."
It seemed He wanted to tempt me, but I did not say anything about His taking me, because obedience was opposed, and also because I am sorry for the world. In the meantime, He showed me His hand; He had a most beautiful ring with a white gem on His finger, and many little gold rings were hanging from this gem, which were intertwined and formed a beautiful ornament for the hand of Our Lord. He kept showing it, so much did He like it, and then He added: "You have done this for Me in these past days by means of your sufferings, and I am preparing a more beautiful one for you."
