hearts to Itself, and they take everything of His Heart, even
His very life, if they correspond to Him.
This morning, on coming, my adorable Jesus made me
see His most lovable Heart. Something like many shining
threads of gold, of silver, and red-colored, were coming
out from within It, and it seemed that they were forming a
net which, thread after thread, bound all human hearts. I
remained enchanted on seeing this, and He said to me: “My
daughter, with these threads my Heart binds to Itself all the
affections, the desires, the heartbeats, the love and even the
very life of the human hearts, which are similar to my human
Heart in everything – except, mine is different in sanctity.
And having bound them, as my desires move from Heaven,
the thread of desires excites their desires; if the affections
move, the thread of affections moves their affections; if I love,
the thread of love excites their love, and the thread of my life
gives them life. O, what harmony between Heaven and earth,
between my Heart and the human hearts! But only those who
correspond to Me can perceive this, while those who reject
Me with the effectiveness of their wills perceive nothing, and
render vain the operations of my human Heart.
