founding sisters Orantes of the Assumption.
Based on 12.8.1896, with the family of the Assumption, we celebrate Father of Alzon November 21 is the date of approval of our first constitutions by Cardinal Richard.
During my thanksgiving after Communion, I felt the word of God, not the word that captivates and absorbs, but the word that requires some effort to remove the distraction and will gather to hear the voice of the Master. There are between these two words is a big difference in the sense that in the first soul is certain God has spoken and has shut everything else, while in the second the soul is not certain that he had not made herself for not having her own request and response. Yet the effect seems to be the same. -
Anyway, I have called God or that God called me, I prayed in all cases with meditation and receive God's light. This is not a new light, but the light that penetrate deeper truth in the soul ...
- Our Lord does sometimes feel a great soul needs to be purified. It makes him feel rejecting somehow. This is not what I experienced. Our Lord, if I may say so, seemed quiet with me in the state I am after having passed through purification to be achieved. - 'Do not me he loved enough to approach me, to speak the words and the most tender invitations before purification? Still less could he approach me now that I had gone through a purification. My soul was free, absolutely free not to go through a new purification '. - And indeed, I felt free, absolutely free, while in general, when our Lord requires an application, it weighs so hard on the soul that it would be impossible not to surrender without being unfaithful. - So, I have not thought about my vow never to resist grace, but there had I thought that I do not think I would have felt obli-Gée. - One thing that bothered me this boldness in prayer that the Father told me to keep and I was afraid of losing in a new purification. Our Lord reassured me. This daring me remain in the suffering of purification, but it will be - I do not really know how to say though I think it will be understood as an arrow, like a flash of fire which, starting from the bottom of my abjection, tear my soul in passing ... Reassured on this point, confident in obedience and in the grace that is given me, wanting to be purified to greater love of Our Lord and him winning souls, I asked this new purification. - I feel that we must above all ask and not to resist its effects, but I would not actively do much by myself. Let my soul be passive under the hand of God who will take the necessary well-ing outside and inside. - But to testify of my correspondence to grace our Lord told me to do two things: in the course of the day to practice my see the qualities and virtues of others, put me below all in my own esteem. - In prayer myself as a sinner below all sinners, take refuge in some way behind their shame, mingling my own shame, the ignominy of my pride that I can not choose to at-cun .... there at the bottom of this abyss of ignominy, if I accept it in its entirety, if I leave somehow penetrate the shame and contrition of my pride, it's not the despair that I find but our Lord bearing the sins of the world. --I must begin my prayer in front of me posing God if I want to go through purification. It's my job to me is my way of showing my willingness to enter this path, or rather to return, but the real work of intimate humiliation is God who will in my desire, not because I was forced .- -
