Whenever any pain or grief comes upon you, offer it immediately to the divine love, as our Lord taught St. Mechtilde.
O MY sweet Love, I offer thee this little smart, and commend it to thee with that same intention wherewith thou hast brought it down to me from the Heart of Jesus, beseeching thee to record it for me on high together with my deepest thankfulness.
