    November 27, 1936.  Today I was in heaven, in spirit, and I saw its inconceivable beauties and the happiness that awaits us after death.  I saw how all the creatures give ceaseless praise and glory to God.  I saw how great is happiness in God, which spreads to all creatures, making them happy; and then all the glory and praise which springs from this happiness returns to its source; and they enter intot he depths of God, contemplating the inner life of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, whom they will never comprehend or fathom.  

    This source of happiness is unchanging in its essence, but it is always new, gushing forth happiness for all creatures.  Now I understand Saint Paul, who said, “Eye has not seen, nor has ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

    778
    And God has given me to understand that there is but one thing that is of infinite value in His eyes, and that is love of God; love, love, and once again, love; and nothing can compare with a single act of pure love of God.  Oh, with what inconceivable favors God gifts a soul that loves Him sincerely!  Oh, how happy is the soul who already here on earth enjoys His special favors!  And of such are the little and humble souls.  

    779
    The sight of this great majesty of God, which I came to understand more profoundly and which is worshiped by the heavenly spirits according to their degree of grace and the hierarchies into which they are divided, did not cause my soul to be stricken with terror or fear; no, no, not at all!  My soul was filled with peace and love, and the more I come to know the greatness of God, the more joyful I become that He is as He is,  And I rejoice immensely in His greatness and am delighted that I am so little because, since I am little,  He carries me in His arms and holds me close to His Heart.  

    780
    O my God, how I pit those people who do not believe in eternal life;  how I pray for them that a ray of mercy would envelop them too, and that God would clasp them to His fatherly bosom.

    • When, during adoration, I repeated the prayer, “Holy God” several times, a vivid presence of God suddenly swept over me, and I was caught up in spirit before the majesty of God.  I saw how the Angels and the Saints of the Lord give glory to God.  The glory of God is so great that I dare not try to describe it, because I would not be able to do so, and souls might think that what I have written is all there is.  Saint Paul, I understand now why you did not want to describe heaven, but only said that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him [cf. 1 Cor 2:9; 2 Cor 12:1-7].  Yes, this is indeed so.  And all that has come forth from God returns to Him in the same way and gives Him perfect glory.  Now I have seen the way in which I adore God; oh, how miserable it is!  And what a tiny drop it is in comparison to that perfect heavenly glory.  O my God, how good You are to accept my praise as well, and to turn Your Face to me with kindness and let us know that our prayer is pleasing to You.
