Ave Maria Meditations

My Jesus always makes me understand that He alone is perfect joy when He appears to be absent. Today more than yesterday, if that were possible, I was deprived of all consolation. I think Jesus, who finds this good for my soul, and that, perhaps if He were to console me, I would stop at the sweetness; but He wants that all before Himself!

Well then, all will be for Him, all even when I feel I am unable to offer nothing; so, just like this evening, I will give Him this nothing. Although Jesus is giving me no consolation, He is giving me a peace so great that it is doing me more good!

Our Lady found this unworthy lukewarm person and obtained for her the grace to enter the Third Order of the Franciscans of the Immaculate. May this person spend all eternity in showing her gratitude.
