Our Lady gave Josefa a Lesson

"My daughter, I will give you a lesson of very great importance; the devil is like a mad dog, but he is chained, that is to say, his liberty is curtailed. He can, therefore, only seize and devour his prey if you venture too near him, and that is why his actual tactics are to make himself appear as a lamb. The soul does not realize this and draws nearer and nearer, only to discover his malice when in his clutches. When he seems far away, do not relax your vigilance, child; his footsteps are padded and silent, that he may take you unawares" {pg 100 in the Way of Divine Love} Jesus says "My Heart takes comfort in forgiving, I have no greater desire, no greater joy, than when I can pardon a soul. When a souls returns to Me after a fall, the comfort she gives Me is a gain for her, for I regard her with a very great love. Have no fear whatsoever. As you are nothing but wretchedness, I wish to make use of you, I will supply for all your deficiencies....Let me act in you" {pg107}
