"...My
dear God gave me infused knowledge of the joy the soul will have when we see
him face-to-face, when it will be united with him in holy love. Then I felt
sorrow in seeing him offended, and I told him that I would willingly be torn
to pieces for a single soul. Indeed, I felt that I would die when I saw the
loss of so many souls who do not experience the fruit of the Passion of my
Jesus..."
