I desire to unite Myself to human souls, Know, My daughter, that when I come to a human heart in Holy Communion, My hands are full of all kinds of graces which I want to give to the soul. But souls do not even pay any attention to Me they leave Me to Myself and busy themselves with other things... They treat Me as a dead object.

And when the Last Day comes, we shall be judged from this, and on this basis we shall receive the eternal verdict.
