Dear Risen Jesus,
I didn't write at Easter, but today I want to write, and want it to be a beautiful little letter. Dear Jesus, I love You a lot and wish You very well. Dear Jesus, I want to do what You want; I want to abandon myself into Your hands, oh Jesus. Dear Jesus, make me heal so that I can go to school. Dear Jesus, save many souls and make many sinners convert. Dear Jesus, tell God the Father that I also entrust to Him to make me heal. Dear Jesus, tell Him also that I love Him so, so much. Dear Jesus, tell the Holy Spirit to illuminate me and fill me with His Grace and bless me.
Dear Jesus, tell the Madonnina to bless me, and that I always want to remain under her mantle. I also pray to You so that You do me the graces necessary for my soul and for my body. Dear Jesus, I want to abandon myself into Your hands; make me what You want. I want to repeat that I love you a lot―really, a lot. Dear Jesus, I want to repeat to You also that I still entrust to You souls. Dear Jesus, I want to be under the Cross with You. You suffered a lot, but after three days during which You were dead, You were raised and remained 40 more days with us. Dear Jesus, I want to be Your lamp, and the little flame signifies the love of the heart, and Your lily that signifies the purity of the soul. Dear Jesus, I kiss You on the hands and feet and the Holy wound of your side. I entrust my spiritual director to You, and send You many greetings from Your
Antonietta and Jesus.
