THE GREAT MOMENTOF THE

CONSECRATION

Oh, if I were a priest…! Anointed, chosenand predestined to be, with Christ, a priest, amediator who offers and who offers himself tothe infinite Holiness, for the glory of that veryeternal Holiness and for the salvation of thesouls…!

Oh, if I were a priest…! This has been thedream which, during all my life, has totallyfilled my soul as a daughter of the Church, en-amoured of the Most High and Eternal Priest.

Oh, if I would have had this great privi-lege…! If my soul would have received fromGod the incalculable gift of being a priest… IfI would have heard on me these words: «Youare a priest forever…»1. If the holy anointmentwould have poured over my poor being itsmost delicate aroma…

Oh…! A woman’s dreams…! Dreams that,raised up to the very bosom of the Trinity, to-day they make me cry aloud, as a hymn of de-sire, before the urgent, terrible and tremendousneed which I experience in me of being a glo-rification for the Infinite One: Oh, if I were apriest…!

Now, even after so many years of spirituallife, of having immersed myself in the mysteryof the Trinity, from there, before its exalted con-templation, my entire soul, in the terrible truthof the Divinity, feeling an urgent need to glo-rify God as purely and perfectly as it is able to,cries out: Oh, if I were a priest, and could takeyou into my anointed hands, so that I could of-fer you…!

Dreams of a woman who dreams things thatcannot be…!

To give glory to God is like a perennialhymn, which flows from my soul-Church. Tobe all myself a glorification of the infinite Loveis the most terrible need that God has placedupon my poor being.

Oh, if I were a priest…! If I could celebratemy Mass…! If I was allowed to approach God’saltar and get into the Sancta Sanctorum of thedivine mystery in my holy vestments, where thesoul in love finds all its joy and its happiness,because in it the soul offers and offers itself,

giving itself to the Triune God in a total self-giving, to the Holy One who as a bloodless vic-tim, gives God all honour and glory…!

If I were a priest and hold in my hands thewhite host to be consecrated for the glory ofGod and of all souls, all myself would place it-self in the hands of the eternal Priest, so thatHe might use me according to his will; and Iwould return to the divine Gift as a gift of anunconditional surrender, as a victim that needsto be eaten to the perennial glory of the Trinityand the good of all men.

Oh…! At the time of the offering, of the do-nation, all my life in the hands of my eternalPriest, without fear, in a total self-giving to hisloving will!; all my being on the paten, prepar-ing itself for the consecration where, unitedwith Christ, I would be, with Him, Christ whowould give to the Father all honour and glory!

Oh moment of the offertory wherein I wouldsay to the divine Love amorous compliments,being a loving reply to his Gift, to that Giftwhich God, through me, would wish to com-municate to all my souls…!

Oh, if I were a priest and I could offer tothe Father my host and the chalice of salva-tion…! This would be the time of the self-giv-ing to the infinite Love, and also the time to be

received by the eternal Priest. «Receive, ohHoly Father, this Immaculate Host»2 and thischalice, and with it, receive all my being as areply of love to your Gift.

If I were a priest and could say to The Love:Receive, oh Father, your priest together withyour Eternal and Most High Priest so that, be-ing both one before your sublime, divine andsubsistent majesty, they may raise before youraltar the scent of frankincense and pleasingholocausts which may be, before You, a praiseto your glory and for your glory…!

Oh, if I were a priest…! What amorous com-pliments for my Host, responding to the pre-dilection of the Eternal One…! All my lifewould be a preparation for my Mass and athanksgiving for it.

How my soul would vibrate at the approa-ching of that Great Moment of the Consecra-tion…!, the great moment of my life…! Yes, thiswould be the great moment of my priestly life;the Moment of the Consecration, wherein thehuman creature, feeling raised to the priestlydignity, experiences that he is the chosen one,the anointed one, the confidant, and the onewho has in his consecrated hands, by divine

calling, the power to give God the greatest glo-ry that can be given to Him in heaven and onearth.

Where are the angels so that they may giveto God the glory which the priest of Christ givesto Him? Where is there a creature that can beraised up to that terrible dignity of being ableto bring down the living God from the heav-ens? When could all the heavenly host be seenbowing to the ground, in surprising wait, wor-shipping this terrible moment, when you, priest,pronounce over this little piece of bread thewords of consecration and of life, which makethe very untouchable God run quickly, at yourcommand, to get into that white host to be of-fered by you before the immensity of the di-vine Majesty?

When could you dream, oh man, that you,so tiny and imperfect, full of miseries, and evenof sins, would be the one to have the wholeheaven waiting for this moment, this great mo-ment!, wherein the Father’s bosom opens up togive you his Word, the Word that you will holdin your hands, so that you may deal with himas you please? Little man, do you not die offear before your great moment? Were you awareof this reality of the consecration?

Oh priest of Christ, father of my soul andmy son…! If I were a priest and could hold inmy consecrated hands the Word of Life and

7

Page 4: Mother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesiaes.laobradelaiglesia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The_great_moment.pdfMother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesia. Oh…! A woman’s dreams…!

could say to Him all my amorous compliments,turning to his infinite Gift with my gift…! If Icould have had the dignity of being able tohandle the God of heaven, to achieve that, atmy imperious voice, the entire heavenly hostwould have contemplated the infinite Majestycoming down to me…!

Oh priest of Christ, if my poor being wouldhave ever found itself holding this white host inhis hands, and could have pronounced over itthe words that Christ Himself uttered the nightof the Last Supper and which would have madethe Infinite Holiness come down at my call, tobe offered to the Father by me, as the supremehymn of infinite praise to his glory…! If I couldhave been as much Christ as you, so that sayingthose divine words would have been enough toturn a little piece of bread into the Word of Life…!

Whence to you that, at your voice, the wholeheaven prostrates itself and even God Himselfobeys your command? Who are you and to whatdignity the Almighty has raised you, so that youcan say with the very rightly: «This is my Body»?Words placed by God in your mouth so thatthus you may be able to get out, of the divinebosom of the Trinity, the Second Person andbring Him down to earth. When did you thinkabout performing such a miracle that the breadand wine would become, at your sinner’s voice,the Body and Blood of the Incarnate Word?

Oh…! If I had been a priest, perhaps I wouldnot have been able to celebrate more than oneMass. Perhaps, my tiny and imperfect soulwould not have been able to do more, becausemy whole being would have come back to theInfinite One as a loving response to his Gift.And, to this transcendent gift made to yourpriestly soul, what answer can you give butyour own life as an offering and a total de-struction of the «I»?

If I had been a priest, perhaps there wouldhave been for me only one Great Moment, be-cause once passed, my soul would have gonebeyond the limits of eternity. I do not know ifmy gift could have been less than the destruc-tion of my being which, as a loving response,needed to reply to the Infinite One.

If I had been a priest and would have heldthe immaculate Host in my hands and I couldhave raised it up to show it to my brethren, oh,what amorous compliments…!, what a res-ponse…! All my soul, a kiss to kiss the InfiniteOne for humbling Himself to me! Prostrate andoverwhelmed, how could one return to this ter-rible Gift that was given to me unconditionally…!

My whole priestly life would be an offeringas a victim to the immaculate Victim, who wasplacing Himself in my hands to offer Himselfto the Father, and at this very moment, the ter-rible moment of my life!, given my pettiness

and the great mystery brought out by me, Iwould be an amorous compliment, a gift of sur-render, an unceasing adoration as a responseto his Gift.

Oh priest…! Avail yourself of your Host, loveit, cherish it. Do not waste this terrible momentof the Consecration. Give yourself to the InfiniteOne without fear; place yourself in his hands,so that He may use you according to his will;be wholly yourself a «yes» to the eternal Lovewho so unconditionally gives Himself to you.This is the great moment of your life, maybethe last one… Do you know if tomorrow youwill consecrate your Host again? This is thegreat moment to respond to The Love with thegift of yourself!

Priest of Christ, in this terrible instant of theConsecration, be attentive!, make your faithwholly alive!, kindle your hope!, make yourlove firm, and contemplate in great silence, ina deep adoration… the bosom of the immutableTrinity, which in infinite activity is itself threeDivine Persons, is about to open up any mo-ment! And at this very instant, the Father isbegetting the eternal Oriens with an ineffablemodesty of eternal Virginity. […]3

3 This sign indicates the suppression of passages more orless wide that it is not deemed opportune to publish inthe authoress’ life.

Silence…! Silence…! Silence…! For the Fatheris begetting his divine Word to give Him to you,priest of Christ…!

Silence…! Contemplate how, at this very in-stant, the Father’s bosom opens up in an eternalbegetting of infinite love, and at that very sub-lime instant of untouchable virginity and of eter-nal holiness, the Father is begetting his Word foryou…!, for you…! It is the response of the Fatherto your word as a priest, anointed to be beforeHim a mediator between heaven and earth.

Oh terrible words those uttered by the pri-est…! Priest of Christ, at the very moment whenyou say the words of consecration, the Father’sbosom opens up begetting his Word for youand gives Him to you in the love of the HolySpirit. The whole Trinity bows to you, and be-cause of your word, the Father responds withhis infinite Word to your call, and as a gift, Hegives you his Word, in the eternal love of theHoly Spirit! […]

Silence…! Adoration…!

The three Divine Persons are bowing toyou…!

Oh […] the terrible moment of the Consecra-tion…!; that instant-instant of ineffable res-pect…, of sovereign majesty…, of profoundadoration…, wherein the whole Trinity is bow-ing to the little priest to give him its Gift.

11

Page 6: Mother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesiaes.laobradelaiglesia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The_great_moment.pdfMother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesia. Oh…! A woman’s dreams…!

The Father gives him his Word. The HolySpirit gives Him to him in union with the Father,as a donation of love. The Word, quickly andjoyfully, becomes Bread…

Oh, priest of the New Testament…! Thewhole infinite Trinity responds to your word,and bows favourably to you in order to giveItself to you. But the whole Trinity, in lovingattitude, asks for your response to this greatmoment of its Gift! […]

I am seeing the Trinity in its sovereign ma-jesty bowing to the priest, and him so tiny be-fore the immense majesty of God’s terrible-ness…! When I see him, so unconscious, I pityhim and feel a great need to help him.

Oh, priest of Christ, tiny before the greatmystery of the Trinity…!

Oh, priest of Christ, how I see you…! Buthow tiny you are before this great mystery ofthe Holy Mass…!

Oh, priest of Christ…! Poor little thing…! Sotiny, before the terrible terribility of the Trinity,in spite of your dignity being so sublime…!

Alas…! Poor little priest, my son and fatherof my soul…! But how small before the terri-ble terribility of the being Himself of the Being,

12

that is given to you as a Gift and asks for yourresponse…!

Poor little thing…! How I see you before thecontemplation of the Untouchable One, who,in the splendidness of his eternal majesty, waits,from on high, for your word to come down, inthe most surprising miracle ever to be glimpsedby the human mind…!

I see you so tiny… and clamouring with apowerful voice because of the strength that thesacred anointment gave to your word, capable ofopening the Sancta Sanctorum of the Trinity,drawing the veil of the Temple asking Him to pro-nounce his Word for you, achieving, through yourword, as a new mystery of the Incarnation…!

What are you, poor little man…? Oh, priest ofChrist…! Alas…! Alas my son! Poor little thing…!

I am weeping overwhelmed, out of respect,love and fright before this terrible reality thatmy soul contemplates.

Oh, if I were a priest…! At this very momentI would die…! I do not know yet if, I will beable to live, after seeing it.

Alas priest of Christ, poor little thing…! Res-pond to Love as you can…!

Oh, priest of Christ!, respond…!, respond tothe Trinity, who gives itself to you as a Gift, withthe knowledge and capacity that you may have!

13

Page 7: Mother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesiaes.laobradelaiglesia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The_great_moment.pdfMother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesia. Oh…! A woman’s dreams…!

How little you are before the terrible terri-bility of the Moment of the Consecration…! […]

Oh the Holy Father…! Even the Holy Father,John XXIII, oh, how little he is before the ter-rible moment of the Consecration…!

Oh, my son!, respond…!, respond…! Res-pond to the Trinity who gives itself to you asa Gift, as you can…! Adore, love, prostrateyourself face to the ground…! […]

The adorable Trinity, bowing to the priest ofthe New Testament at the moment of the Con-secration…! And how terrible…! How terrible…!

I am about to die from love and pain… Mysoul can only cry in silence.

Thank you, Love…!, thank you, Love…!,thank you, Love, because you did not make mea priest…!

Now I understand why you did not makeme a priest! Now I understand…!

I do not have the grace to be a priest. Thatis why I feel I die before the terribility of theGreat Moment of the Consecration.

Oh…! Thank you, Love, thank you…! Thankyou for not having made me a priest! How wellI understand Saint Francis of Assisi…!

The terrible God, of sovereign majesty, bo-wing… bowing…!

14

All the infinite majesty of the Being, bowingto the priest…! Not prostrate, no!; bowing… Notin an act of adoration, no!, but pouring Himselfover him…

The whole Trinity waiting, priest of Christ,tiny one, waiting for your great word to cometo you…!

The whole Trinity waiting for you to utteryour word in order to pour Himself onto youin the Word. The Word of Life waiting to be-come Bread…!

The whole Trinity at your command, readily,obeys…!

Oh, priest, priest…! What did God do withyou when he anointed you a priest…? I knowthat you did not give it much thought the dayof your ordination.

But now I tell you: look, you are a priest ofChrist…! My son, be little. For the love of God!,be little so that before your littleness, the infi-nite Love may be pleased.

I see you so little…, so nothing…!, and youare so sublime before the Trinity’s sublime, di-vine and subsistent majesty…!

Respond as you can, throw yourself on theground, worship, weep, die, if you do not knowhow to respond!

15

Page 8: Mother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesiaes.laobradelaiglesia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The_great_moment.pdfMother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesia. Oh…! A woman’s dreams…!

How terrible it is to be a priest…! Poor lit-tle thing…!

Respond, my son, being little. Throw your-self in the arms of the infinite Sanctity, adoreHim. Kiss that point of the divine begetting,which is opened for you every morning at theconsecration.

It is you, priest of Christ, the one called bydivine call to enter this Sancta Sanctorum ofthe Trinity. It is you who has to get into theTrinity’s bosom and kiss that instant-instant inwhich the Father begets his Word for you, kiss-ing with the Holy Spirit that very Word thatcomes out quickly at your words.

Come on, priest of Christ; before the terri-ble terribility of this great mystery, throw your-self into the arms of your Father God, and, fullof trust, hope, trust in the infinite love that theTrinity has for you.

God did not make you a priest to condemnyou, no; but so that you would glorify Him andto save souls through you.

You have in your hands the terrible God ofsovereign majesty, and you have in your handsthe salvation of mankind.

Look, listen to what I tell you: If, before yourvoice, the Father opens his bosom and givesyou his Word in the love of the Holy Spirit, and

16

the three divine Persons together give them-selves to you unconditionally, will there be any-thing that you ask them that will not be grant-ed to you?

If you exercise your priesthood making your-self little, and the very God gives Himself to youin such a way, will there be anything superiorto Himself that could not be given to you?

If you do not get from God everything youask Him for, it will be because you do not askHim for it, or because your word is not so ef-ficacious as the one of the consecration. If yourprayer is not listened to, it is not because Goddoes not answer your word, but because yourword is not according to God.

I know that the word of the consecration isdifferent from your word. Before that one GodHimself obeys. But if God wanted to put thisefficacy in your word of consecration, if youare according to his will, could not your prayerbe more efficacious and your petition be bet-ter aimed…? Don’t you see that when you say:«This is my body», «This is my blood», thewhole Trinity gives itself to you? Why do notyou become so like Jesus, that whenever youcommand Heaven will obey?

If that would be so, you who read this, priestof Christ, you alone, would you not be togetherwith Christ salvation for mankind? If truly you

17

Page 9: Mother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesiaes.laobradelaiglesia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The_great_moment.pdfMother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesia. Oh…! A woman’s dreams…!

can say: «This is my body», «This is my blood»,what will there be which you will not be ableto say, priest of Christ?

Oh, now I understand why I cannot be apriest! Perhaps if I had been a priest, at theMoment of the Consecration, when receivingthis light that I had today, I would have died.Perhaps, for that reason, God did not make mea priest.

I find within me a terrible impossibility to bea priest, after knowing the great mystery of theconsecration. For that reason I cannot tell youanymore: if I were a priest…! Because I see that,from now on, there is in me an impossibilityprovided by the terrible knowledge of thepriestly dignity. But to you, priest of Christ, sonof my soul-Church, I, together with Mary Imma-culate, the priests’ Mother, I say : Live yourpriesthood, place yourself in your Great Mo-ment, give thanks for this inexpressible, inex-plicable, incomprehensible and unimaginable,privilege of the priesthood.

Priest of Christ, I see you so little in the pres-ence of the Trinity…! And I venerate you, andI ask you to implore for me to the very Trinity.The knowledge I had today has been so strong,that from now on in my prayer of a little daugh-ter of the Church I will always be putting your

18

priestly soul in front so that the Father may giveme the divine Word. It’s you my little priest,the one who has to give me the Word of Life.

Oh, priest, priest…!, try to be little so thatyou may appear before the Father, held by,leaned on and fused with the eternal Priest. Andthus, with confidence, say your word of con-secration and respond to the Gift which God isto your soul in that instant; respond uncondi-tionally, give yourself totally. Come on, in si-lence, adore, tell Him «yes» and also give your-self to Him as a host with your Host, so thatsomething like a transubstantiation may comeabout in you, and you may be Christ for God’sglory and the salvation of all souls.

Priest… Mediator… You are in the Great Mo-ment of your life! You are between heaven andearth transubstantiating your host! Exercise yourpriesthood…! Be a propitious bridge betweenGod and men! And may your prayer be so pleas-ing, so acceptable to God, that no grace, gift,or wish, before you, would remain unfulfilled.

Let it be you because of your priesthood theone who catches the divine Love, and the onewho appears before Him on behalf of all yourbrothers, so that, by means of you, everybodymay receive the salvation that through you Godwants to communicate, through this Great Mo-ment, to all men.

19

Page 10: Mother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesiaes.laobradelaiglesia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The_great_moment.pdfMother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesia. Oh…! A woman’s dreams…!

Look, priest of Christ, as I have already toldyou: when you say your word the Father’s bos-om opens up before the surprise also of all theblessed ones, and God becomes Bread. Andyou what do you say?, what is your responseto this donation of The Love to your command?What do you reciprocate to the infinite Gift whois God before you? How do you respond to thisGift that is given to you so unconditionally?Which one is your gift before the Gift of Godmade Man, of God made Bread through yourword? What word are you to Him? What do youtell Him? How do you give yourself?

Oh, priest of Christ, if I would have been apriest and at some moment I could have livedthis Great Moment that you live now…! I knowthere is no gift for such a gift; but look at whatanswer the Trinity has to your word… How doyou answer to his when He asks you for all yoursoul as a gift to his Gift?

Perhaps some day you might have donesomething out of routine of this Great Moment.And, don’t you cry all your life long? Do youthink that it is just one moment that has alreadypassed? Don’t you know that each one of themoments of your Mass, and particularly the oneof the consecration, will be the ones present-ed before you on the day of Judgment?

I know that, if I would have been a priest,perhaps I would have done it the same as you,

20

and even worse. But, perhaps for not havingthat great fortune, nor having received that im-mense grace, I appreciate more this gift of thepriesthood which The Love so freely gave toyour soul.

But listen, even though you see yourself lit-tle and you are afraid, even though you do notknow how to behave with your Host, nor howto respond to such a great Gift, even if youonly feel like crying for my song to this GreatMoment, do not distrust, because of the littleones is the Kingdom of Heaven. Throw your-self into the arms of The Love, since, thoughyou have the great dignity of being a priest,you are a creature and little.

For that reason, trust the love of The Good,the One Who made you a priest, not to con-demn you, but to entrust to you his secret sothat you would be He through transformation,so that you would throw yourself into his armsand, before the great mystery of this predilec-tion towards your soul and the lack of capaci-ty to respond to such a great gift, you wouldthrow yourself as the little one into the bosomof his father, and there you would cry out ofgratefulness and love, for the incomprehensiblegrace of your priesthood, and you could be ableto approach the altar of God with happiness andjoy, offering yourself and offering to the infiniteHoliness in the Per Ipsum; and leaning on that

21

Page 11: Mother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesiaes.laobradelaiglesia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The_great_moment.pdfMother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesia. Oh…! A woman’s dreams…!

same Sanctity, give to God, «through Him, withHim, in Him», «all honour and glory».

If you are little you do not have to be afraid.And if you are big headed, it is urgent that youmake yourself little, because if you are unawareof the great moment of your Mass, as you arelittle, it is up to God your Father to take careof you and prepare you for that great moment.

But if you are a priest and not even little,and you approach the altar of God inattentive,without preparing yourself, after so many Mas-ses!, what will you do on the day of Judgment?Because the little ones will be judged accord-ing to love; but if you had to be judged foryour works…

Try to be little, and if you achieve this, donot worry any more, because the little onestrust implicitly their parents’ love.

The Great Moment of the Consecration haspassed and, with it, the great moment of yourlife. But still within the Mass there are othergreat moments which you have to attend to.

Here I also feel real envy! You already know,priest of Christ, my son and father of my soul,that my only joy consists in giving glory to God.Because of that, do you allow me, together withyou, united to your Mass, in your Per Ipsum,

22

that I may give glory to the Father, glory to theSon and glory to the Holy Spirit? Although Icannot be a priest, God made me a priestly vir-gin, mother-Church, and I need, together withall my children-souls, to give to God all hon-our and glory, united to you, priest of Christ.

It is the moment of the glorious song of theMass, it is the moment to give glory to God;and you, «through Him, with Him, in Him»,give all honour and glory.

Let me, united to you, also give my God allhonour and glory. I know that I do it in myMass; but, after having known the terrible dig-nity of your priesthood, I need to celebrate myMass backed by you and united to you. Andseeing myself so little and with such a terribleneed, so urgent and so almost infinite to giveglory to my Three, I implore your favour to fillthis need which floods my soul.

It is now that you can give God the gloryHe expects from your priestly soul, how do yourespond?

It is necessary that you rejoice in the infi-nite glory of the eternal Lover, responding tohis Gift with your happiness for his joy. Rejoicefor the fact that He is happy, be happy for thefact that He is blissful, and then your wholesoul, as though in a triumphal jubilation, willexclaim with the eternal Priest, «through Him,

23

Page 12: Mother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesiaes.laobradelaiglesia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The_great_moment.pdfMother Trinidad de la Santa Madre Iglesia. Oh…! A woman’s dreams…!

with Him, in Him», giving God all honour,praise and glory.

It is the moment to respond to The Love gi-ving Him glory for his immense majesty. TellHim now what perhaps at the moment of theConsecration, being such a terrible instant, youdid not know how to. Tell Him how the wholeof you wants to be a praise to his glory, an an-swer to his gift.

Live this instant of God’s glorification with thegreatest intensity of which you are capable, re-joicing in that God is God. Forget about your-self and be happy with the blessed ones in thehappiness of God, giving Him all honour andglory being grateful that He be Who He Is. Makean act of pure love which rejoices for God be-ing Who He Is. Love Him through Him, in Him,without you, so that He may be glorified. Donot let this moment pass without giving God theglory He expects from you from all eternity, andallow me to join you, to relieve this immenseneed which burns me to give glory to God.

And thus, with the soul full of gratefulness,jubilation and being overwhelmed, intone theOur Father, preparing yourself for the terribleinstant of the consummation of the Sacrifice.

Invoke your Father who is in heaven, withall the love of your soul being little; beg par-

don for all your miseries and forgive all thosewho offended you. And so, burning in the di-vine Love, under your unworthiness, receivethat Bread of Life which from all eternity, lov-ing you with infinite predilection, He chose youso that you yourself could eat the Host which,as a priest, you consecrated.

The Word of Life palpitates in terrible needto get within you, to enter your soul. And youare inattentive and inactive…? Look, it is theWord of Life, the One you brought forth fromthe bosom of the Trinity at the Great Momentof the Consecration, the One Who is waiting foryou to eat Him and in that way the Sacrifice ofthe altar may be consummated, a live repro-duction of the one bloody Sacrifice of the cross!

The Mass is about to end and God is nowalso waiting. He is expecting you to eat yourHost in order to consummate the Sacrifice! It isyou, priest of the New Testament, the one whobegan this great act, and the one who has tocrown it.

Truly you can say with Christ: «All is ac-complished»4. «I have accomplished the workthat You gave me to do»5. Now, eternal Father,if you wish, you can take me to You. «Into yourhands I commend my spirit»6. Do with your ser-

vant according to your will, and in the face ofmy unworthiness, overwhelmed and prostratebecause of your infinite loftiness, I adore andbeg you to have pity on my misery, and, lean-ing on your bosom, you may take me to Youwhenever it may please you to take your ser-vant’s soul. With my Mass «all is accomplished».

That is why, everyday, when receiving Himin Holy Communion, place your spirit in thehands of God, as the immaculate Victim hasbeen immolated by you and you should be con-summated in Him and by Him.

Now, priest of Christ, how are you to re-spond to The Love? What have you to tell theinfinite Victim, who is hidden in your chest?How should your response be at the end of theSacrifice?

I consider myself too little to tell you whatyou should do. After everything I have said, mysoul is in expectation, venerating you in thanks-giving. And when venerating you, my venerationis double, because in you, and through you, bymeans of you, for being a priest, I can adore Godmade Man, God made Bread, within your soul.

Give yourself unconditionally to The Love,love Him as you never loved Him. Let yourMass be everyday the beginning and the endof your life. Do not make a routine of this ter-rible Moment, which the Immense One gives

you every day as a gift for his glorification, yoursanctification and that of all the souls.

Come on, priest of Christ, with your Hostwithin you, prepare the Host that you conse-crated for me; because I also want to consum-mate my sacrifice eating my Victim. And, eventhough you wish to tell many things to TheLove, think that my enamoured soul is waitingfor you to give me that Bread of Life. I havealso celebrated my Mass with you, since, as Iam so little, I could not have the dignity of be-ing a priest. I am also a priestly mother whoawaits, like Mary in the Cenacle, Holy Commu-nion from the hands of the Apostles.

The whole Mass has been for you a dialogueof love. First of self giving, then of mystery anddonation on the part of God and on your soul;you have given God the glory which your soulneeded and, at last, you ate your Host. Andnow go, do not delay, give me my Host, theone you consecrated for me because you are apriest!, that Host which was transubstantiatedso that I, through you, could also receive God.Come on, do not delay, give me my Host withall the care, respect and love which God de-mands from you when distributing it.

You see, you are the one in command…! Letus see what you do with your Host and with
