My daughter, loving like that brings the soul into indescribable states. No Earthly joy is comparable to them. It is the fruit of a long search and the love it [the soul] has managed to cultivate. In these moments of intense communion, the heart takes the entire place; the remainder loses its importance. The mystic develops in himself a second life built on these contacts that have become essential to his Earthly existence, the effects of which lead him beyond materiality with which he is confronted each day. He grows stronger by drinking from the celestial cup, to which he comes and drinks more and more. His soul is constantly in need; this need does not desert him any more. Happy is the one who reaches this stage and manages to keep at it. He does not find, here below, any equivalent to it. Loving like that is a grace. Devote yourself to cultivating this love; it does not hinder your active life in any way. Quite to the contrary, it gives it colours that are not perceptible by all. By being among the chosen ones, you enjoy special joys, unworldly ones. Thus, you prepare your future life which will easily find its place."

Man's only and true recourse is God. His only certainty lies in this spiritual dimension, unalterable in time. On Earth, everything changes, evolves and is transformed. God does not change. He is there, immutable and serene, listening to men who actually want to turn to Him and regard Him as such. In His greatness and His kindness, He listens to them all, whether they are aware of His reality or not. The human being is lucky in that he is not only dust, which is incapable of resisting the influence of time; his life outlives this body of flesh, so fragile and destructible. His true personality lies elsewhere and is not subjected to the fluctuations of this Earth. It is only a step in the long process of a soul squaring its accounts with the passing time and incarnations. God enthrals the souls that recognise Him, as they are carried away by His love, both subtle and powerful. They can recognise the distinguished Guest who lives in them and grant to Him all the love and the gratitude due to Him."
