“One day, when I had just communicated, I was shown how the Most Sacred Body of Christ is received by His Father within our soul. So now I understand and have these Divine Persons are there, and how pleasing to God is this offering of His Son, since He delights and rejoices in Him, as we may say, here on earth, for it is not His Humanity that is within us in the soul but His Divinity, and it is not for that reason that He is so pleasing and acceptable to Him and that He grants us such favors.”
