Alma firm

April 24

 Do not think, my dear daughter, in aridity, discouragements and bleak darkness that often afflict your spirit, because they are willed by God for your highest good. One day Mary Magdalene spoke to the Divine Master and, feeling away from him, crying and looked and was so eager to see that, seeing, not seen, and believed that man was the gardener.
This is what happens to you. Take heart, my dear daughter, do not worry about anything. You have in your company to your Divine Master are not separate from it. This is the truth and only truth. What do you fear? What are you sorry? Take heart, then. You can not be either a girl or even a woman must have a manly heart, and soul until you sign the will to live and die in service and love of God, do not worry or limitations or any other impediment.
The Magdalene wanted to embrace our Lord, and this sweet Master, who had allowed at other times, this time it is an obstacle, a hindrance: "No - he says - do not touch me, I am not yet ascended to my Father '.
(August 18, 1918, to Antoinette Vona - Letters. III, p. 871)
