Dear Eucharist Jesus,
Dear Jesus, it's true that today I was fussy, but tomorrow I want to improve, Dear Jesus; I love You so much. Dear Jesus, tell God the Father that I love Him a lot, too, and tell Him―and I tell You, too―to make me come into Paradise as well.
Dear Jesus, I am very glad to be on Calvary close to You, and I am very glad that today I came to visit You in Your house. I promise You that I will come every day and I will tell You many beautiful things.
Dear Jesus, I want to be Your flower and Your lamp―the lamp that burns day and night and is never put out; the flower that is above the altar, always beautiful and open, never drying out―and this flower would be the lily.
Dear Jesus, I know how much You suffered on the Cross, and I know that they pierced You through the heart, and I want to be always enclosed in Your heart with You.
Dear Jesus, tell the Holy Spirit that I love Him a lot, and [ask] that He illuminate me and make me full of His Grace.
Dear Jesus, bless the Church, the clergy, and I entrust to You so much my spiritual father and my family.
Dear Jesus I send You so many greetings and kisses [from] Your dear
Antonietta and Jesus.
Dear Jesus, I love You.
* "the lily" = a symbol of chastity, innocence, and especially purity; in this regard, Antonietta submits herself to the will of God with humility, so that she and her actions may be utterly pure.
