\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

For a long time, I have desired \nto have a conversation \nwith you, my dear spouse, \nand open my heart to you. \n<\/p>\n\n

But I wanted to see you alone, \nretired in prayer, \nso that with calmness \nyou could hear my voice.<\/p>\n\n

You are very sad, my daughter, \nI see you sometimes cry, \nimmersed in a thousand tasks, \nworking without stopping. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

And I see that such weight \nyou cannot bear, \nand as a faithful and loving husband, \nI want you to rest<\/p>\n\n

Leave the leadership in my hands \nwith full assurance \nthat nothing will be lacking \nfor this Community. \n<\/p>\n\n

For the love I have for you, \nI tell you my will, \nthat I will be the Procurator \nof this Community<\/p>\n\n

Trust in my providence, \nfor it cannot forget \nits beloved wives \nwho live in solitude. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

But I wish that you come \nand tell me your pain, \nasking me to assist you \nin all your tribulation.<\/p>\n\n

Tell me your needs \nwith complete sincerity, \nbecause I can help you \nand I want to console you. \n<\/p>\n\n

But I have a complaint with you, \nand I will tell you the reason, \nand it is that you have little faith \nin my loving heart.<\/p>\n\n

I see you worried, \nspilled out on the outside, \nseeking in creatures \nshelter and favour. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

This displeases me greatly, \ndaughter of my heart, \nseeing that among creatures \nyou seek your consolation.<\/p>\n\n

With this, you manifest to me \nthat you have little love for me \nand you lose the trust \nthat should exist between us. \n<\/p>\n\n

What I am telling you now, \ndo not think it is reproach, \nbut a loving complaint \nfrom my heart.<\/p>\n\n

If you love me preferentially, \nas is your duty, \nas the most faithful wife, \nyou will open your heart to me. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

Then we will enjoy \nintimate communication, \nyou sharing your sorrows \nand I consoling your affliction.<\/p>\n\n

If you behave this way \nin the day of pain, \nyou will have a secure refuge \nwithin my heart. \n<\/p>\n\n

What do you think, my daughter, \nif I have great love for you \nand take care of my wife \nin every tribulation?<\/p>\n\n

And you can sleep peacefully \ntrusting in my goodness, \nfor I will watch over you \nand this Community. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

If you do so, \nyou will see from experience, \nthe graces and blessings \nwill rain down upon the Community.<\/p>\n\n

The Community that allows itself \nto be governed by my hands \nis the one that lives more peacefully \nand abounds more in goods. \n<\/p>\n\n

You must be entirely mine, \nand your daughters are also mine, \nand thus we will live together \nin one heart.<\/p>\n\n

And in the days of trial, \ndo not offend me by doubting, \ntrust, have much faith, \nfor I will return peace. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

I want much faith from you, \nthat you grow in humility, \nand above all in love, \nwhich must reign in this house.<\/p>\n\n

Take good care of your daughters, \nthat they may not lose their fervour, \nand watch over the observance, \ncorrecting with love. \n<\/p>\n\n

Keep much gravity, \nhumility in your heart, \nwith a pleasant modesty \nthat captivates the heart.<\/p>\n\n

Conversations with laypeople \nbe sure to avoid, \nand never go to the grille \nunless there’s great necessity. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

Do not have familiarity \nwith the outside world \nand you will see how you will \ngain more respect from the world.<\/p>\n\n

Nothing that happens at home \nshould be allowed to go outside, \nand in this way, true union \nand peace will reign. \n<\/p>\n\n

And the one who fails in this, \npunish her with rigour, \nand thus you will restore \nthe original fervour.<\/p>\n\n

Set a good example for your daughters \nin retreat and prayer \nso that the litanies may grow \nand many acts of unity. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

Carefully close the turn \nand the locutorium \nso that the fire in this Community \nmay be preserved.<\/p>\n\n

Never let news \nof the world enter \nthis holy enclosure \nwhere I wish to dwell. \n<\/p>\n\n

And these happy souls \nwill thus be preserved \npure, candid, and humble, \nand in holy simplicity.<\/p>\n\n

In all things, go ahead \nin retreat and fervour, \nand by the example of the mother, \nthe daughters run swiftly. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

And this Community \nmust be a closed garden \nwhere the divine heart \nshall receive its gift.<\/p>\n\n

In this little garden of mine, \nI have such beautiful flowers \nthat with their pleasant perfume \nthey make a whole God fall in love. \n<\/p>\n\n

In it, there are carnations, \nlilies, violets, roses, \nlilies and jasmines, \nwith hyacinths and poppies.<\/p>\n\n

Take very good care of my garden \nand the beautiful plants, \nfor I will provide you with a skilled hand \nto cultivate the roses. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

Here, I will come to walk \ntogether with my wife, \nwho will show me the trees \nin bloom with such fragrance<\/p>\n\n

We will walk through the garden \nfrom one end to the other, \nand see if the plants \nare lush and beautiful. \n<\/p>\n\n

And in the middle of this garden \nI will place a fountain \nto water these plants \nat the right time.<\/p>\n\n

My divine heart \nwill pour out its torrent, \nthe treasures of its graces, \nif you do not block the flow. \n<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"María\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

And you, my dear wife, \nwill be a lily among thorns, \npierced by sorrows \nfor defending your daughters.<\/p>\n\n

I leave the garden satisfied \nand content with my wife. \nRemove all the weeds \nso the roses can grow. \n<\/p>\n\n

You will be the spreader \nof my loving heart \nand to all you encounter \nextend my devotion. \n<\/p>\n\n

Do not forget the advice \nthat as a husband I give you, \nand in everything that is offered to you, \nturn to my heart.<\/p>\n\n
