Dear Eucharist Jesus,
I love You very much, and I am so happy that tomorrow morning I will come to receive You in Holy Communion. Dear Jesus, tomorrow, when You will be in my heart, realize that my soul might be an apple; and in the apple, there are the seeds inside. Make it so that there be a cupboard for my soul; and like under the skin of the seeds, there is the white seed. Make it so that, inside the cupboard, there is Your Grace―and that would be like the white seed. Make it so Your will leaves this Grace always, always with me.
Dear Jesus, I know that they commit so many offenses against You; I want to make reparation for these offenses. Dear Jesus, if You were a man like us, I would enclose You inside of a house so You would not hear the offenses that are committed against You. So, You could do this: come into my heart and remain closed with me, and I will make many sacrifices for You and will tell You a few things to console You.
Dear Jesus, tell the Madonnina that I know that tomorrow is her feast, and I want to make many sacrifices to console her.
Dear Jesus, tell God the Father that I love Him very much.
Dear Jesus, I adore You and kiss Your feet, and send You many greetings [from] Your dear
ANTONIETTA AND JESUS.
Dear Jesus, You, who suffered so much on the Cross, make me learn to do my duty first so I can then make sacrifices.
*"her feast" = Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, who appeared to St. Bernadette in France.
