4/25 Easter Thursday

Volume 4; April 7, 1901
Luisa:  I saw my adorable Jesus for a little, in the act of His Resurrection, with His Face so Refulgent, that it could not be compared to any other splendor.  It seemed to me that the Most Holy Humanity of Our Lord, though It was Living fFesh, was yet so Bright and Translucent, that one could see with clarity the Divinity united to the Humanity.  Now, while I was seeing Him so Glorious, a Light that came from Him seemed to tell me:  “My Humanity received so much Glory by means of Perfect Obedience that, destroying the ancient nature completely, gave Me back the New Nature, Glorious and Immortal.  In the same way, by means of Obedience, the soul can form within herself the Perfect Resurrection to Virtues.  For example:  if the soul is afflicted, Obedience will make her Rise Again to Joy; if restless, Obedience will make her Rise Again to Peace; if tempted, Obedience will administer to her the strongest chain with which to bind the enemy, and will make her Rise Again Victorious over the diabolical snares; if she is besieged by passions and vices, by killing these, Obedience will make her Rise Again to Virtues.  This, to the soul, and in due time, it will also form the Resurrection of the body.”
