Psalm 68:21 Deo gratias et Mariae for everything

 Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Anne, Therese, I love You, Save Souls! 



In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
in conspectu tuo sunt omnes qui tribulant me. Improperium exspectavit cor meum et miseriam; et sustinui qui simul contristaretur, et non fuit; et qui consolaretur, et non inveni.

Psalm 68:21 


One morning after she had received Holy Communion she seemed to behold our Lord as “the handsomest, richest, most powerful, most perfect and most accomplished of lovers.” 2 [http://fsspx.com/Communicantes/Jun2004/Salvation_Trust_Thee.htm#2B]

St Catherine of Siena (if I remember correctly what I read) - also said this of Our Lord.

On another occasion when kneeling before her crucifix she expressed this desire saying: “How happy should I be, my dear Lord, if Thou would imprint in me the likeness of Thy sufferings.” “That I mean to do,” replied our Lord, “provided you do not resist Me, and that on your part you do what you can.” 3 [http://fsspx.com/Communicantes/Jun2004/Salvation_Trust_Thee.htm#2B]

During her novitiate our Lord inspired her to ask for humiliations. He said to her: “Acknowledge then that you can do nothing without Me. My assistance shall never be wanting to you provided that you do always keep your own weakness and nothingness buried in My strength.” 5 

Unsatisfied with the hardships of convent life, St. Margaret Mary wanted to do more penance. Sometimes she did so without receiving her Superior’s permission, and our Lord appeared to reprove her severely for this: “You deceive yourself,” He said to her, “in thinking to please Me by practicing this kind of mortification chosen by self-will, which would rather have the will of Superiors bend before it than bend itself. Know that I … abhor self-will in a religious.”15 This lesson made such an impression on her that she resolved to practice the most exact obedience.

SACRED HEART OF JESUS, SALVATION OF THOSE WHO TRUST IN THEE…
HAVE MERCY ON US!

My Jesus, help me only to do what Thou wilt, I am all Thine own, Thou alone art sufficient for me.
O Mary, thou canst make me a saint; I hope for this grace from thee!, O my Mother, my dear Mother, save me.
