Luisa Piccarreta

“Now, My daughter, ...this is Our Purpose in giving Our Gifts—wanting to see the gift We gave converted into her nature, because then are Our Gifts not in danger, and We dispose Ourselves to give greater gifts; and the creature, having converted it into her nature, places Our Gift in safety, becomes the possessor of it, and will feel within herself the Good, the Fount, and the Good received converted into her nature. And since Our Gifts are bearers of Peace, of Happiness, of Invincible Strength, of Celestial Air, she will feel within herself the nature of Peace, of Happiness, of Divine Strength, that will form in her the air of Heaven. This is the reason why, when I give you the Great Gift of My Word, then I remain silent; it is because I am waiting for you to nourish yourself and masticate My Word well, in such a way as to see in you, changed into your nature, what I have told you. ...”

— Volume 29 - May 10, 1931
