I often see the Child Jesus during Holy Mass. He is extremely
beautiful. He appears to be about one year old. Once, when I saw the
same Child during Mass in our chapel, I was seized with a violent desire
and an irresistible longing to approach the altar and take the Child
Jesus. At that moment, the Christ Child was standing by me on the side
of my kneeler, and He leaned with His two little hands against my
shoulder, gracious and joyful, His look deep and penetrating. But when
the priest broke the Host, Jesus was once again on the altar, and was
broken and consumed by the priest.
After Holy Communion, I saw Jesus in the same way in my heart and
felt Him physically in my heart throughout the day. Unconsciously, a
most profound recollection took possession of me, and I did not exchange
a word with anyone. I avoided people as much as I could, always
answering questions regarding my duties, but beyond that, not a word.
