Living Sacrifice: St. Faustina's Choice & the Gift of Divine Communion |Ep27 #@thedailyspeakingtree
135 During the third probation, the Lord gave me to understand that
I should offer myself to him so that He could do with me as He
pleased. I was to remain standing before Him as a victim offering. At
first, I was quite frightened, as I felt myself to be so utterly miserable
and knew very well that this was the case. I answered the Lord once
again, “I am misery itself; how can I be a hostage [for others]?” You
do not understand this today. Tomorrow, during your adoration, I
will make it known to you. My heart trembled, as did my soul, so
deeply did these words sink into my soul. The word of God is living.
When I came to the adoration, I felt within my soul that I had
entered the Temple of the living God, whose majesty is great and
incomprehensible. And he made known to me what even the purest
spirits are in His sight. Although I saw nothing externally, God’s
presence pervaded me. At that very moment, my intellect was
strangely illumined. A vision passed before the eyes of my soul; it
was like the vision Jesus had in the Garden of Olives. First, the
physical sufferings and all the circumstances that would increase
them; [then] the full scope of the spiritual sufferings and those that
no one would know about. Everything entered into the vision: false
suspicions, loss of good name. I’ve summarized it here, but this
knowledge was already so clear that what I went through later on was
in no way different from what I had known at that moment. My
name is to be: “sacrifice.”
136 And the Lord gave me to know that the whole mystery depended
on me, on my free consent to the sacrifice given with full use of my
faculties. In this free and conscious act lies the whole power and
value before His Majesty. Even if none of these things for which I
offered myself would ever happen to me, before the Lord everything
was as though it had already been (64) consummated.
At that moment, I realized I was entering into communion with the
incomprehensible Majesty. I felt that God was waiting for my word,
for my consent. Then my spirit immersed itself in the Lord, and I
said, “Do with me as You please. I subject myself to Your will. As of
today, Your holy will shall be my nourishment, and I will be faithful
to Your commands with the help of Your grace. Do with me as You
please. I beg You, O Lord, be with me at every moment of my life.”
137 Suddenly, when I had consented to the sacrifice with all my heart
and all my will, God’s presence pervaded me. My soul became
immersed in God and was inundated with such happiness that I
cannot put in writing even the smallest part of it. I felt that His
Majesty was enveloping me. I was extraordinarily fused with God. I
saw that God was well pleased with me and, reciprocally, my spirit
drowned itself in Him. Aware of this union
with God, I felt I was especially loved and, in turn, I loved with all my
soul. A great mystery took place during that adoration, a mystery
between the Lord and myself. It seemed to me that I would die of
love [at the sight of] His glance. I spoke much with the Lord, without
uttering a single word. And the Lord said to me, You are the delight
of My Heart; from today on, every one of your acts, even the very
smallest, will be a delight to My eyes, whatever you do. At that
moment I felt transconsecrated. My earthly body was the same, but
my soul was different; God was now living in it with the totality of
His delight. This is not a feeling, but a conscious reality that nothing
can obscure.
138 A great mystery has been accomplished between God and me.
Courage and strength have remained in my soul. When the time of
adoration came to an end, I came out and calmly faced everything I
had feared so much before. When I came out into the corridor, a
great suffering and humiliation, at the hands of a certain person, was
awaiting me. I accepted it with submission to a higher will and
snuggled closely to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, letting Him know
that I was ready for that for which I had offered myself.
