Dear Crucified Jesus,
Today I wasn't able to come to make it to Holy Communion, but I made it spiritually; and I believe that if You aren't [there] personally, You would have come spiritually.
Dear Jesus, I want to be Your lamp and Your lily that are above the altar. Dear Jesus, [for] You who suffered so much on the Cross, I want to make reparation for all the sins that [the people who crucified You] committed against You, and that make You suffer still because they give You discomfort. Dear Jesus, I bless You and would like to make You blessed by all. Dear Jesus, make the sinners convert so that they can come into Paradise. I entrust myself to You.
Dear Jesus, I entrust to You those who entrust themselves to my prayers, and entrust to You also Mom, so that she speaks well, and also my parents and above all my spiritual father.
Dear Jesus, I desire so much to [see You], and wish that all could [see] You, now that they would love You more.
Dear Jesus, I kiss You [and] all Your wounds. Your
Antonietta of Jesus.
* "Antonietta of Jesus" = Note the transition from "Antonietta" to "Antonietta and Jesus" ("Antonietta e Gesú") to "Antonietta of Jesus" ("Antonietta di Gesú"). Perhaps she thought she had entered the heart of Jesus by this point and became part of Him. Although I don't know for sure, I still think it's worth pointing out.
