Today, I received some oranges

Post by Denise »

Today, I received some oranges.   When the sister had left, I thought to myself, “Should I eat the oranges instead of doing penance and mortifying myself dur- ing Holy Lent? After all, I am feeling a bit better.”   Then I heard a voice in my soul:   My daughter, you please Me more by eating the oranges out of obedi- ence and love of Me than by fasting and mortifying yourself of your own will.   A soul that loves Me very much must,  ought to live by My will.   I know your heart,  and I know that it will not be satisfied by anything but My love alone (Diary, 1023).
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
