My dear little sister in the immense Love of God!
   Listen, I beg you, listen to the voice of this little heart!
You with me have been dazzled by a blazing light, by an Ideal that surpasses all things and encompasses all things: the infinite Love of God!
   O my dear little sister! It is he, he who is my God and your God, who has established among us a common bond, stronger than death, because it can never be broken, one like the Spirit, immense, infinite, most tender, unyielding, immortal like the Love of God!
   It is Love that makes us sisters!
   It is Love that has called us to Love!
   It is Love that has spoken deep in our hearts and said to us: “Look around you. Everything in the world passes away. Every day has its evening, and it comes quickly. Every life has its sunset, and the sunset of your life also comes quickly! And yet, don’t despair. Yes, everything passes, because nothing that you see and love is meant to be yours forever! Everything passes and leaves only regret and new hope.”
   And yet, don’t despair. Your constant Hope, which goes beyond the limits of life, tells you: “Yes, what you are looking for exists; in your heart there is a an infinite and immortal yearning, a Hope that does not die, a faith that breaks through the shadows of death and is light to those who believe. It is not for nothing that you hope, you believe! Not for nothing!”
   You hope, you believe – so as to Love.
   This is your future, your present, your past. Everything is summed up in this word: Love!
You have always loved. Life is a continual search to fulfill desires that are born in the depths of our hearts.
   You have always loved! But you were mistaken in what you loved! You have loved that which dies and is empty, and in your heart only emptiness remains.
   Love that which does not die! Love the One who is Love! Love Him who in the evening of your life will look only at your little heart. You will be alone with him in that moment. Terribly unhappy will be the one whose heart is filled with vanities, immensely happy the one whose heart is overflowing with the infinite Love of God!
   My dear little sister, I beg you to listen with me to the passing of time, to the beating of your hearts that never fails to knock at the door of your soul, inviting you constantly and persistently to Love!
   Love, love, love! This is the destiny of every person – Love!
   Think of life that slips quickly away! Remember that life is so fleeting! Toss aside what is unworthy of you and of your little heart – little, yes, but noble, precious, powerful because it can love God! Why should you waste it! Why?
   Go through the world singing to Love!
   Up! Cover everything with a heart of Fire!
   There is no suffering in the world, no affection in the world, nothing in the world that cannot be drowned in the Love of God! Go through the world and sing to Love!
   Yes, there is suffering in the world, but for those who love, suffering is nothing; even martyrdom is a song! Even the cross is a song! God is Love! And in Love every suffering is the unyielding proof, the unmistaken seal of God.
   Up, up, come with me, let’s reach out to Love! Let’s run to Love!
   So we will not let anything painful pass by us in life without accepting it and desiring it to show to God, who is immense Love, our small but unyielding Love!
   Let’s leave to our hearts a single desire – to Love!
   Let’s leave to our minds the constant measuring of every thought against the infinite and immense Love of God!
   May God give you Love, a Love of Light and of Fire.
