Book of Heaven

One should never look at the past, but at the present.

     Continuing in my usual state, I was thinking about my things of the past, and Blessed Jesus, making Himself seen for just a little, told me:  “My daughter, do not look at the past, because the past is already in Me and can be of distraction for you, and it can make you mistake that little bit of path that is left for you to cover.  In fact, your turning to the past makes you slow your pace on the present journey, and so you lose time and do not advance on your way.  On the other hand, by looking only at the present, you shall have more Courage, you shall remain More Closely United with Me, you shall Advance More on your path, and there shall be no danger of your being mistaken.
