I continue to have the same vision of the Holy Spirit, in the form of a mist of man illuminated like diamonds, beautiful and pure. He is standing beside my bed, as he was last night before I went to sleep, now appearing in his divine love, in his presence where he extends his hand for me to take and lead me.

‘Holy Spirit, take my soul and lead me in your mercy. Illuminate me with your love and guide me in your wisdom according to your will. Why have you come, O Spirit of Love and hope?’

“I have come to bring you peace, my son, and to fulfill the request that has been presented to you through God our Father and through the kindness and charity of the one who desires to help you, also on your call to return to Italy to see Blessed Carlo.

I desire to lead you in my mercy and guide you in the hope of my love. You may go in peace, my son, by allowing me to lead you. I shall do so on the proper day, according to my will. Do not feel anxious as to how you should fulfill everything, but do so with love, asking me to grant you courage, to guide you in courage and to be brave. The enemy wants to confuse your thoughts, which is why I am presenting myself so clearly in my light that casts out all darkness.

Yes, my son, walk in the compassionate mercy of my light and your heart shall remain pure in truth. Do you understand, my son?”

‘Yes, I feel the challenge of both requests since my uncle has passed away and I am unsure whether or not I shall attend the funeral to be with my cousin Richard, who was my closest childhood companion and friend. I do not know what to do, as I was planning to make the pilgrimage to Italy on Monday.’

“My son, you may call your cousin and explain to him that God has called you. He will understand in his love for you, and you may return to see him once you have fulfilled this call if you desire. Jesus once said to let the dead bury the dead.”

‘O Spirit, now you are speaking to my soul. But how can I abandon my family when I have not seen them in three years upon moving?’

“My son, you have always been united in love with your cousin. Nothing shall ever separate that. Speak to his heart and he shall understand. I give you the gift of your free will to do as you desire.”

‘I understand. I know that you love me and you are present to help me because, for me, no choice is too little when fulfilled by your will for your glory. So, take me as you desire; as my heart is slightly torn, give me the wisdom and the guidance to coordinate all.’

“Yes, my son, be at peace and rejoice and give praise to God our Father who is doing great things for you in his holy love. Yes, rejoice in the mercy of your call to fulfill this path of love.”

‘You know my heart; I love all and I believe that there is a way to fulfill all.’

“Yes, my son, I grant you my blessing and I shall guide you.”

I am now having a vision of the spiritual wounds of the stigmata appearing within my hands. I unite my spiritual suffering to the heart of our Lord on the Cross to sanctify me and purify me in his love and to know that his presence is life within me.

‘O holy Savior, embrace me within your arms of mercy. O Holy Spirit, come and take me in your love.’

“Yes, my son, we have always told you that we shall take you to new heights of love and glory unseen by a human heart in the call that we have given you.”

‘I don’t know what that means, but I understand the words. If that is a contradiction, then give me the wisdom to understand the meaning and I offer myself as a living and spiritual sacrifice that they may be fulfilled in your love.

Take me in your love. Hold me in your love. Consume me in your love. All things for your glory. I love you, yes, I love you. Lead me as you desire.’

The Spirit is now ascending to heaven. Oh, he is beautiful as he takes flight and then transforms himself into the holy dove with fire and light.
