Grace renders the soul happy.
This morning my dear Jesus was not coming. After many hardships, I saw Him for just a little, and lamenting to Him because of His delay, I said to Him: ‘Blessed Lord, how come, so late? Have You perhaps forgotten that I cannot be without You? Have I perhaps lost your grace that You do not come?’ And He, interrupting my plaintive speaking, told me: “My daughter, do you know what my grace does? My grace renders the souls of the Blessed happy, and it renders the pilgrim souls happy – with only this difference: for the Blessed, by taking bliss and delight in it; for the pilgrim souls, by working and making it circulate. So, one who possesses grace holds paradise within herself, because grace is nothing other than to possess My very Self, and since I alone am the enchanting object that enchants the whole of Paradise and forms all the contentments of the Blessed, the soul, by possessing grace, wherever she is, possesses her paradise.”
Scripture Meditation-For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God— 9 not because of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
