I remember experiencing a conversion of heart when I encountered Jesus through the book “The Way of Divine Love.” I was touched by God’s boundless love and mercy. I learned that it was very easy to save souls! In the book it read that “A little act of generosity, of patience, of poverty… may become the treasure that will win a great number of souls to my Heart.” (August 7, 1922)
God’s love moved my heart. Knowing God’s power to convert hearts brought me joy. Understanding how I could pray for the world and how I could participate in the plan of salvation brought me peace. Page after page, the words Jesus spoke to Sr. Josefa Menendez penetrated my heart. I cried and prayed. I rejoiced and hoped. I surrendered and offered my life to Him. I wanted to be like Sr. Josefa, to be a Saint. I wanted to be close to Him, close enough that I could hear His Heart say to me just as He said to her, “You are ever in My Heart, for it is an abyss of love. I am with you.” I wanted all of Jesus. These words have never left my heart. I could see how He could act through me, speak through me and that together, we can make the Father known to the whole world.
