Giving oneself completly

Mother,

You told me that there is something closed in me which isn’t open to You and this is why, even when I want to feel Your love in my heart (which You say is already there) I do not feel it. What is it that is closed? My heart? Or something else? I don’t understand all this.

I want my heart to open to You and to feel Your love there always. But if it is really closed, how can I open it? What must I do to open it? For I really do want it to open to You and I want to feel happy for ever.

My dear little smile,

I know of only one way: to give oneself—a complete consecration to the Divine. The more one gives oneself, the more one opens; the more one opens, the more one receives; and in the intimacy of this self-giving one can become conscious of the inner Presence and the joy it brings.

Tender love from your mother.
