My Jesus! ... Yes, my Jesus ... my affectionate Lord! ... Jesus who keeps me bound with such force of love . . . Jesus who loves me, who feels only compassion for my wretchedness ... He is the true Jesus ... You see, my God: if You gave so many graces, so many gifts, so many favors to a soul who could compensate you with a good store of virtues, your kindness would be well compensated, but if You give them the way You give them to me, only in the name of Your mercy…..No, there's no harm in it, oh Lord: what You do is always well done……But at least give me the grace to be able to please You . . . But I love You too! ... I do not love You only for your gifts, You know! I love You because You are my Jesus . . . I love You because You are the only one worthy to be loved by me . . . I love You because You are always so good . . . I love You because You promised, You swore, not to abandon me ... I love You for all purposes, oh Lord! ... Monday, August 11, around 9:00am Oh love, oh infinite love! ... Strip me of this flesh; either tear me out of this body or stop, because I cannot go on ... My body, oh Lord, can no longer stand being continually consumed, so, either remove me from this earth or stop ... Oh love, oh infinite love! ... Oh your love I shall never, never be disposessed! ... Oh love! Oh pleasure of love! ... Oh love that so delights me ...that never torments me! Oh love, Your love, oh Jesus ... I shall never share you with anyone! ... This bit of love that I possess, I shall not share even with the Saints in Heaven, nor with earthly creatures. To you, Saints in Heaven, to you, earthly creatures, all the virtues; but this bit of love is mine. I want no one ahead if me in the love of Jesus! Oh love, oh infinite love! ... See: Your love, oh Lord, Your love penetrates even to my body, with too much fury. When, when will I unite with You, oh Lord, Who with such force of love keeps me in union here on earth? ... Do it, do it! ... Let me die, and die of love! ... What a beautiful death, oh Lord, to die a victim of love ... a victim for You! Calm down, calm down oh Jesus; if not, Your love will end up burning me to ashes! ... Oh love, oh infinite love! ... Oh love of my Jesus! ... Let Your love penetrate my all; from You I want nothing else. My God, my God, I love You! Perhaps I love You too little, oh Jesus? ... Are you not happy? ... But this needs to come from You, if You want me to love You more. Indeed, I should love You with a unique love. Oh! I have told you so many times, oh Lord: if my life does not end in seeing the suffering of Someone who loves me so much, what other pain do You think could bring about my death? ... I told you it is enough, oh Lord, what you have suffered for me and for sinners. Yes, enough! ... My shoulders shall replace Yours in bearing the cross! ... “Yes, Jesus loves me so much, because my every breath is His, my every desire is His, my every affection is His…” –St Gemma Galgani Yes, it's real postage! <http://holypostage.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=46> A Wedding to Always Remember + <*}}}>< <http://holypostage.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=46>A Wedding to Always <http://holypostage.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=46>Remember <*}}}>< --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Please note that I do not send or open attachments sent to this list.
