PRAYER TO JESUS
Jesus lives who, notwithstanding my every fault, wants to make a sharer in his sorrows. O how insupportable sorrow is when suffered far from the cross. But how sweet it becomes if one suffers close to the cross of Jesus. Everything becomes easy for the soul, even when it feels itself oppressed and intoxicated by every sort of grief. And where there not in the depths of this soul that holy fear of being able to displease the divine spouse, it would feel itself to be in Paradise. The soul placed in such a state, as often as it turns to the Divine Master, says to him, “ Yes, O Jesus, your yoke is easy and your burden is light.” It pleases God to hear from every soul this new way of suffering.
