31-16-1 | …“Because your soul is extremely simple, but when you will be perfect, you will be even more simple; the closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.” | |

31-16-2 | …Attached yourself to the Cross like
the ivy in order to die there if
Jesus so wills. May divine suffering be the center of your life; plunge
into this bottomless ocean, and may it engulf you as it did Jesus, for
there alone are life and happiness.
Always love to be little, so little
that the eyes of Jesus only may find you! Little grain of dust,
be unseen
by all in order to be seen by God alone. Be filled with confidence that good Jesus will do everything; rejoice at being poor, at feeling yourself so poor in order that, little beggar, you may have everything from the infinite charity and love of Jesus! Take flight to the All of your heart with wings of humility, simplicity, and love. Jesus loves you with a tender predilection, so pay Him in return, and be happy to love Jesus in suffering for Jesus! |

I begged her to say a few edifying and friendly words to Dr. de Corniere: “Ah! little Mother, this isn't my little style. Let Doctor de Corniere think what he wants. I love only simplicity; I have a horror for ‘pretence.’ I assure you that to do what you want would be bad on my part.” |

13. With reference to spiritual direction: “I think we have to be very careful not to seek ourselves, for we can get a broken heart that way, and afterwards, it can be said of us in all truth: ‘The keepers … wounded me; they took away my veil from me…. When I had passed by them a little, I found Him whom my soul loves.’”(The Canticle of Canticles 5:7., 3:4.) “I think that if this soul had humbly asked the keepers where her Beloved was, they would have shown her where He was to be found; however, because she wanted to be admired, she got into trouble, and she lost simplicity of heart.” |
