The first burial. At the hospital. It’s poor and barren, not even a flower. We are burying the brother of one of the Companions. The poor and the homeless are there, about fifteen of them. Secours Catholique is present, too. Pierre, the Companions. The Lord enters the church and seems to take us all in his arms. Be joyful. You are rich in me. Later on there is the funeral, without Mass, of a month-old baby. The mother is in anguish. The pain that the others are suffering affects me deeply. But the baby is among the living.

Beams of light seem to shine forth from his open hands. I pour out my tenderness on you. Let it wash over you. It’s like a great light, a sweetness that floods us. This light is not going to melt away your difficulties. It will not make the cross you are carrying disappear. It envelops everything. Believe in my tenderness. I do believe in it, Jesus.

Where are you, Lord? No answer. A few minutes later the back of my neck begins to feel warm. It’s like a bright point centered on a spot on my neck. I’m suspicious at first. I rub my hand over the spot. There’s nothing there, and yet I feel this warmth until the end of Mass. What’s this all about? I want you to feel me.

There are twelve of us in the group. On the very first day I break my wrist. I think I’m going to have a lot of time to spend with you, Jesus. He smiles.
