scorned, forgotten, and even hated and slandered. Let your
whole glory consist in loving and serving Jesus.
You will belong totally to your neighbour through charity.
For Jesus’ sake, seek all ways to do good to so many girls in
need. Inscribe them on your heart; forget none of them. Keep
closest to your heart those who are in the greatest need, the
most neglected by others, very poor, orphaned or left to
themselves. Never get tired of praying for them, avail yourself
of every opportunity to win them over; love them, caress them,
do all you can to make them pleasing to Jesus. In every
manner do deeds of charity, both corporal and spiritual, but do
everything with the right intention, for Jesus’ sake, that in all
things he may be glorified.
You will then belong totally to God, through a most
ardent love for Him. Keep in mind the close bond you have
with him. You are God’s possession; you don’t have as much
as a sigh that is not His, and if you behave differently, you are

a thief. Do everything gladly for his sake. Be faithful to Him in
little things. Think of Him all the time. Thank him in times of
affliction. Have a deep trust in Him. Bortolamea, you don’t
belong to yourself any more, you belong totally to Jesus. Every
tiny defect will greatly wrong His gracious Heart. For God’s
sake, do not displease him.
Dear Jesus, do of me what is most pleasing to you. I do
not rely on myself, but I do greatly rely on you. I have no
power; all power is yours. I have greatly offended you, and yet
you love me still. I also wish to return love for love. Give me
your Heart, and with it I will love you sufficiently.
