Volume 2 – August 13, 1899 Jesus assumes the image of Luisa.

He continued to make Himself seen this morning, for just a little, always threatening to send chastisements; and as I would go about praying Him to placate Himself, He would escape me like a flash.  The last time He came, He made Himself seen crucified.  I placed myself near Him to kiss His most holy wounds, doing various adorations, but while I was doing this, instead of Jesus Christ I saw my own image.  I was surprised, and I said:  ‘Lord, what am I doing?  Am I doing the adorations to myself?  This cannot be done.’

At that very instant He changed into the person of Jesus Christ, and He told me:  “Do not be surprised that I have assumed your own image.  If I suffer in you continuously, what is the wonder that I have assumed your very shape?  Besides, is it not to make of you an image of Myself that I make you suffer?”  I remained all confused, and Jesus disappeared.  May everything be for His glory, and may His holy name be always blessed.

 Volume 4 – July 5, 1901 Jesus is the beginning, the means and the end of all desires.

As I was concerned about the state of my soul, all of a sudden my adorable Jesus came and told me:  “My daughter, do not be concerned, for I alone am the beginning, the means and the end of all your desires.”  With these words I calmed myself in Jesus.  May everything be for the glory of God, and may His Holy Name be blessed.

 Volume 4 – March 9, 1903 Jesus speaks about humility and about correspondence to grace.

Continuing in my usual state, I could hear blessed Jesus praying in my interior, saying:  “Holy Father, glorify your Name; confuse the proud and hide Yourself from them, and manifest Yourself to the humble, because only one who is humble recognizes You as his Creator, and recognizes himself as your creature.”  Having said this, He no longer let Himself be heard, though I comprehended the power of humility before God.  It seemed to me that God has no restraint in entrusting the most precious treasures to the humble; on the contrary, everything is open for them, nothing is under lock and key.  All the opposite for the proud; even more, it seems that He puts a cord around their feet to confuse them at each step.

 Volume 10 – January 8, 1910

Then, turning around, as though looking at one of the priests, He added:  “I choose you as the head of this work, because I have cast a seed of courage within you.  This is a gift, and I do not want you to keep it uselessly.  Up until now, you have wasted it in frivolous things, in foolish things and in politics – and these have repaid you by embittering you and by giving you no peace.  Now, enough – enough.  Give yourself to my work, use the courage I have given you only for Me, and I will be all for you, and will repay you by giving you peace and grace.  I will make you acquire that esteem which you have been fishing for back there, and which you have not obtained; or rather, I will not give you human esteem, but Divine.”

Then He said to father G.:  “My son, courage, defend my cause; sustain – help those priests whom you see a little disposed for this work.  Promise every good in my name to those who will commit themselves, and threaten those who cause contradictions and obstacles.  Tell the bishops and the leaders that if they want to save the flock, this is the only means.  It is up to them to save the shepherds, and up to the shepherds to save the flock; and if the bishops do not place the shepherds in safety, how can the flock ever be saved?”
