From the Writings of P.P. Sulamitis (Visitandine SR Marie Therese Desandais), as she understood the Lord’s words to her:
It is not understood that the work of our Heavenly Father is in our souls, and it is squandered by many that escape him.
Few souls penetrate intimately into my divine mysteries and know how to make fruit; few understand my Father’s heart and the fruitful work that I operate in souls I said that if the grain of wheat does not die, it will not bear fruit . What do you believe when you quote that passage, and how few agree to die for my glory,with joy in sacrificing current pleasures which then produce a more abundant fruit! Behold that is why souls advance so little A little work for them – they flee and abandon me; they go to beg from the creatures they see who deny my goodness, as if the creature could somehow surpass my way. Sometimes there comes the desire to impurity, disorder and sin. Satan knows; his craftiness first tries one in suspense and produces discomfort, artfully exploiting one. Therefore I say: Watch and pray so that you not be surprised and succumb to the temptation.
