– Jesus: “My Beloved, would you accept to carry a cross of roses and leave me to carry the wooden cross? Do you want a cross to your liking or do you prefer a cross to my liking? Do you want to carry the cross I am carrying, the cross that you placed on my shoulders for such a long time?
“My Beloved, I don’t ask you to carry the cross alone! You are too little. You are not even able to carry it firmly on your little shoulder. You drag it more often than carry it.”
– Mimi: “My Beloved, I know that without you I can do nothing. Between us, I am so small and the cross is so heavy, exhausting. I am dragging it but still holding onto it. I ask you to help me carry our cross.”
– Jesus: “Do you see how much I must love you by lowering myself to your level, to ask you to help me, I, your God? If you could understand perfectly the Royal gift of the cross! My Beloved, each one of your crosses has infinite value in the presence of my Father because in becoming my spouse, you participate, you accept the same cross as I. If you knew the infinite love of God the Eternal Father for you! He treats you like a spoiled child. Yes, a child spoiled by the infinite love of God, the Eternal Father. Dear child of the Holy Spirit! Loving child and spouse of God the Son! Privileged child of his merciful love!”
– Mimi: “My God, I give you thanks. With my despicable conduct, I do not deserve so much love.
“However, my God, have pity on me. My weakness is stronger than my good will. My little human nature is always there. In spite of it all, my God, take my little heart. It is yours. My God, Eternal Father, my Father, attach me to the cross with your Divine Son, my Beloved Spouse. There, you can be sure that I will no longer escape you. Nail me, please, with nails of faith and love for you and of charity for souls.
“Ô my God, in your infinite mercy and your love for me, make me become by your power, by your grace another Christ with your Beloved Son, that is, that I may answer your call and be a little girl docile to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit, that I be submissive to your Adorable Will. Teach me to love the cross so that it may become for me each day my food, my consolation, my hope, my strength, my confidence. Make me feel the need to carry it generously with your Divine Son out of love for you and for souls.”
– Satan: “You see how your pride dominates everything. Now you want to become another Christ. In asking for this, you blaspheme. You are doing the same thing as Eve.”
– Mimi: “Go away, liar! I don’t ask to become another Christ. I desire, by his power and glory to simply become the image of my Beloved. I especially want to be with him another Christ through love of suffering, through the acceptance of the cross until death, out of love for God and souls. It is quite legitimate for a child to ask her Father to help her attain her ideal, to share his dwelling forever, especially if this Father is a God, a King.
“I have the right to expect heaven, not through my human dignity. I don’t have any, since I am nothing. I am only a poor little girl in the arms of her Father. But as a child of God and a member of his mystical body, I am confident that I will obtain everything. I have no hesitation. I entrusted my life, my death, my eternal salvation to my gentle heavenly Mother. And my gentle heavenly Mother knows what her little girl needs for the greater good of her little soul and what she is missing in order to attain God.”
Sunday 4 November 1956
– Jesus: “My Beloved, in great temptations, in great sufferings, when you wish for some spiritual consolation during these trials, you are acting like a child. Sometimes, you seem to say : ‘I really want to carry the cross with my Beloved but let me carry the bottom of the cross. It isn’t as heavy.’ Or else, you act this way by wanting me to put a balm of consolations on your shoulders, that I place a cushion on your bruised shoulders by removing the great temptations. Do you believe, my Beloved, that during my passion, I carried a paper cross? Of course not, my Beloved. Out of love for you, I accepted not only to carry a wooden cross but also to be nailed and die for you and for souls.
“Poor little one, you aren’t yet where I want you. I know the place that my Father has in mind for you. The most important thing in spiritual life isn’t simply to understand the value of crosses and to be attached to the cross but also to accept out of love for God and souls all the trials, especially those that God has chosen for us each day. It isn’t enough to be attached to the cross, but we must remain there until death, like God the divine model.
“My Beloved, my life has been a long way of the cross. If you still want to follow me, accept all the crosses, especially the cross of physical suffering, and accept with love the moral sufferings, the great temptations, a precious gift, a hidden treasure for little souls. Come and follow me. Take the same road that leads to my Father for all eternity.
“My dear little spouse, you mustn’t only come to love the cross but you must also desire it out of love for me and for souls. You know, my Beloved, certain sensitive souls are moved when they look at me nailed to the cross. Poor souls! They aren’t able to see the cross that I am carrying deep in my soul, that is, the cross made up from the ingratitudes, the lack of confidence, by the abuse of grace. They are the sins of my consecrated souls. At times, you are among them. You know, my Beloved, I need to have a heart to heart talk with you. You know that the cross I carried on my body was the cross made up of the sins of man. But I was feeling a much heavier cross, more painful than the first one. It was the cross that I had in my soul made up of sins, of faults from my consecrated souls, my chosen souls.
“Poor senseless souls! When they give of themselves, they believe they have given their all. Poor souls! They don’t see that they are simply giving us back what we had lent them.”
– Mimi: “My Beloved, come close! I have a secret to tell you. After what you have just told me, I’m a bit shy to speak to you. My Beloved, would you please close your eyes and listen to your little girl? My Beloved, for the last six years, you must have often chuckled at seeing my offerings. You know that I was sincere, but I can see now that it was very little, very little.”
– Jesus: “My Beloved, I am so pleased by your confidence, to hear you speak to my ear like a little girl speaking to her father, to see the exhuberant love of your little affectionate heart. Continue to act as a little spoiled child. This consoles us greatly but I prefer that when you speak to me, you do so by looking at me with your eyes.
“Poor little one, do you think that in keeping my eyes closed, I could not see the bottom of your soul? You know quite well that I know the language of the eyes. Your director also know it well. Nothing escapes him. Now, to re-assure you, you know that when you offered yourself, I wasn’t laughing at you. I was looking at your intentions, your love for us and for souls. I knew that you had an ideal, that you had at times good intentions. Since I knew that you were weak, miserable, so small, we would therefore look at your little heart full of love for us and, being moved by this, we accepted all of your poverty. I should rather say your poor nothingness.
“My Beloved, come close, it is my turn to tell you a secret. My dear little spouse, from now on, to be agreeable to my Father, offer yourself with me out of love for his glory. Offer it all through the hands of my gentle heavenly Mother. Little……. so loved, to fulfill your role as a spouse, in the name of our love, of our union, offer yourself to me to carry this intimate cross in my soul. By your moral sufferings, you will console me. As for the cross of your body, I will take care of it. Remember, I want all, I will take all and it will be all forever, forever. Does this remind you of something? This word ‘always, always’ especially when it is said by a person who knows how to use it properly at all times.
