How Jesus Remains Chained By The Soul Who Does His Will And The Soul By Jesus

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
    who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,
2 will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress;
    my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91)


Volume 14, March 1, 1922

And Jesus, all moved, surrounded my neck with His arm, taking my hand in His, and He added: “I know, I know how much you suffer; and to make you content – here is my arm as necklace around your neck. Aren’t you happy now? Know that I cannot do without contenting one who does my Will, because, as she breathes, she forms the air of my Volition around Me, in such a way that she surrounds not only my neck, but the whole of my life. I remain as though chained and fettered by the soul within the very fortress of my Will. But this is far from displeasing to Me – on the contrary, because of the great contentment I feel, I fetter and chain her; and if you cannot be without Me, those are my chains, my fetters, which hold you so tightly, that one moment without Me is enough to give you a martyrdom of the most painful, such that there is nothing that equals it. Poor daughter, poor daughter, you are right. I will take everything into account, but I do not leave you; rather, I enclose Myself in you in order to enjoy the air of my Volition, which you yourself form for Me. In fact, air of my Will is your heartbeat, your thought, your desire, your motion; and I, in this air, will find my prop, my defense, and the most beautiful rest upon your breast.”

Prayer Meditation- O Lord can so often not feel Your Presence and wonder where You are and yet You never leave us. You are Our Refuge, Our God in whom we trust! Lord, may we always live in Your Most Holy and Divine Will- live in our heartbeats, our thoughts, and in our every breath in unity with You! May our hearts beat in unison!
