Feast of the Ascension, 1938
Today I accompanied the Lord Jesus as He ascended
into heaven. It was about noon.
I was overcome by a great longing for God....
Then I saw myself in the midst of a huge crowd of disciples and apostles, together with the Mother of God.
Jesus was telling them to
"Go out into the whole world and teach in My name."
He stretched out His hands and blessed them
and disappeared in a cloud. I saw the longing of Our Lady. Her soul yearned for Jesus with the whole force of Her love. But she was so peaceful and so united to the will of God that there was not a stir in Her heart but for what God wanted.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
