November 20, 1900 – Volume 4 

Luisa writes:
 
 While I am outside of myself, my adorable Jesus continues to show me my
 heart inside of His - but so transformed, that I can no longer recognize which one
 is mine and which one is Jesus’s. He has conformed it perfectly to His own; He
 has impressed on it all the insignia of the Passion, making me understand that,
 from the moment of His conception His Heart was conceived with these insignia
 of the Passion; so much so, that what He suffered at the end of His life was an
 outpouring of that which His Heart had suffered continuously. I seemed to see one
 just like the other. I seemed to see my beloved Jesus occupied with preparing the
 place in which He was to put the heart, perfuming it and bejeweling it with many
 different flowers. And while He was doing this, He told me: “My beloved, since you
 must live from my Heart, it is appropriate for you to undertake a more perfect way
 of living. Therefore, from you I want:
 1. Perfect conformity to my Will, because you will only be able to love Me
 perfectly if you love Me with my own Will. Even more, I tell you that
 by loving Me with my own Will, you will arrive at loving Me, and your
 neighbor, with my same way of loving.
 2. Profound humility, placing yourself, in front of Me and of creatures, as the
 last among all.
 3. Purity in everything, because any slightest fault against purity, both in
 loving and in operating, is reflected all in the heart, and it remains stained.
 Therefore I want purity to be like dew upon the flowers at the rising of the
 sun, which, its rays reflecting upon them, transmutes those little drops
 into as many precious pearls, such as to enchant the people. In the same
 way, if all your works, thoughts and words, heartbeats and affections,
 desires and inclinations, are adorned with the celestial dew of purity, you
 will weave a sweet enchantment, not only for the human eye, but for the
 whole of Heaven.
 4. Obedience, which must be connected with my Will, because if this virtue
 regards the superiors I have given you on earth, my Will is obedience
 which regards Me directly; so much so, that it can be said that both one
 and the other are virtues of obedience - with this difference alone: one
 regards God, and the other regards men. However, both of them have
 the same value, and one cannot be without the other; therefore you must
 love both one and the other in the same way.”
 Then He added: “Know that from now on you will live with my Heart, and
 you must see things the way my Heart does, that I may find my satisfactions in
 you. Therefore be careful, for this is no longer your heart, but Mine.”
