Divine Will for every day of the year - March 18, 1899 Volume 2

This morning, my beloved Jesus continued to make Himself seen from within my heart, and in seeing Him a little bit more cheered, I plucked up courage, and I began to pray that He would not send so many chastisements. And Jesus told me: “What moves you, O My daughter, to pray Me not to chastise creatures?”

Immediately I answered: “Because they are Your images, and if creatures should suffer, You Yourself would suffer.” And Jesus, heaving a sigh, told me: “Charity is so dear to me, that you cannot comprehend it. Charity is simple, just like My Being which, though Immense, is yet most Simple; so much so that there is no place which It does not penetrate. So Charity is; being simple, it diffuses everywhere; it has regard for no one – whether a friend or an enemy, whether a citizen or a stranger, it loves all.”
