Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the Guardian Angel


I was plunged in unspeakable bitterness, pain drowned me. After telling Jesus that I did not want to sin, I repeated often: "Jesus, Mary, Joseph." I heard a voice saying to me:
- O victim, O beloved spouse of Jesus, I am your Guardian Angel, the angel chosen by Jesus to support you and defend you, to serve you and to guide you. I come in the name of the same Jesus to tell you that you have not sinned, and to take you to your customary position.
I was soon on my pillow and, even after so great an affirmation, the pain and the fear of having sinned continued. I didn’t cease to invoke the sweet names of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, not with the wish of any vision, because I wasn’t thinking of that, but because I am used to invoking these holy names hundreds of times a day, even in silence, when others are present. 
I do not know how many times I had repeated the names, when I saw in front of me Jesus, Mary, Joseph, all three sitting. Jesus was in the middle. The house in which they lived was modest but it was illuminated by the glow that came out of them. Oh, how beautiful it was!

Few news


We have been studying and writing the history of Balasar and we have published a volume with the title “Balasarenses” (Balasar's outstanding people) and maybe we will publish another later in the year with the title "Balasar Antiga" (Ancient Balasar). On the other hand, we didn’t have been aware of material events to report on. Hence this blog look like it is standing still.
About two weeks ago we saw in Balasar a group of pilgrims from Korea.
Mary's Dowry Productions go on producing their nice CDs on English Saints and Martyrs.

Oh, how I see the world running on the road to perdition!

Oh, how I see the world running on the road to perdition! Oh, what so tremendous pain, pain that is impossible to explain! To be a mother, mother who loves without having the corresponding love, and to see humanity escape me; all my dear children die. Die in the vices, in the pleasures, in the follies of sin. They mad for joy, and I mad with love for them, to save them!
The light I own penetrates everything and everyone. The light is not mine nor is for me, but with it I see the greatest disorders and miseries. This light sees everything that goes on land and feel that itself wants to rebel against the same land. Its rays cannot face the slime and disgusting mud that earth contains.
The tower (see herethat arose in me is going up, up, goes to heaven. I feel that goes so high, but its eyes do not reach its aim. It goes up and, as upshot, with it rises the light; and from above sees the world, enlightens the world, over it spreads its rays, rays that try to climb to itself because they cannot think of the world.
I wished to say so much about this light, wanted to make me understood and do not know.

And now, poor me, I am in complete and total abandonment; I have nobody for me either on earth or in Heaven. It's what I feel, but I trust that is not reality.

Colloquy of Jesus with Alexandrina (fragment, March 16, Friday)

- Far from Me, my daughter, far, far away, is the sinner hardened and mad by passions. Far, far away live the sinners lost to addiction and to flesh, maddened and blinded by all vices.
Come here, my daughter, come, my white dove, to receive from your Jesus, Father and Spouse, the medicine, the life and light to lead them to Me.
Jesus united His Divine Heart to mine, as well as His holy face and His lips also approached mine. He caressed me and light, love, comfort and life passed from His Heart to mine. He gave me everything He had. He continued:
- Go, dear daughter, medicine of souls, go and give them all this; I chose you to be their salvation, I chose you to support them, I chose you to be their light.
Give it to them, pluck them out of darkness. Go with my love and your unmatched pain to pluck them from the clutches of Satan; they are stuck in the mud and in thorns. You are the light of lights, the madness, the love of loves.
- O my Jesus, give me what you will, give me what is Yours, only with what is Yours can I steal them from the devil, only with the light of Thy divine love can I give them light. I thirst, I thirst, Jesus, to give You souls, all souls.
- Your thirst is mine, my dear one: I quench myself with it. I thirst and hunger for souls; it is a thirst and hunger that causes death. Look, so many are trapped, stuck in those thorns! If you do not go to extract them, they will die there, and from there they will pass to hell.
- Now, now, my Jesus, I go, I want to go there to release them, whatever the cost.
- My daughter, but you will leave you own flesh there...
- No matter, my Jesus, I want to save them.
- My daughter, you will shed your blood there...
- No matter, my Jesus, You also shed Yours to the last drop. I want to go there, whatever the cost, whatever I lose. I'm going, Jesus, I am going even if I fall apart in those thorns and my bones remain there. Because of Thy Divine love I give all, all for souls.
How harrowing was the vision of these thorns! Without great help, without the strength of Heaven, never, never would so many lambs be freed from there. 
- O pure one, O beautiful one, O winner of souls, you fly the flag of victory! You are the lily of the valley, tender flower of the meadows! Your virtues are lilies, they are flowers from the angelic garden that adorn the throne of divine Majesty!
What good it will do to souls when your life is known, preached and read, your heavenly life, your unique life!

Oh, how I crave that the light that you have received from Me will penetrate the hearts of all mankind! Oh, how I yearn for it to learn from this book of virtues and divine sciences!

O love, how great and strong you are!


In the Gospel of St. John, near the end of the Last Supper, Jesus gives a solemn commandment to his apostles and disciples: "What I command you is to love one another". It is about love that Blessed Alexandrina speaks in the poem below, about the love to Jesus.
Holy Easter!
Speak, speak, my heart,
Say, at least in these lines, how much you desire to love your Jesus!
Speak, speak, my heart,
Tell your Jesus you only want Him, and only in Him do you want to rest!
Do not tire, do not stop speaking about love!
Love which is real love, true and pure love,
Cannot keep silent, cannot stop expressing itself.
It has to speak and be forever proving that it loves:
It loves day and night, it loves in pain and in joy, it loves in exaltation
And, if it is a truly pure love, it loves still more when it is mortified.
O love, how great and strong you are!
