Dina is thinking of you
____ 98 ____
Dear friend of Dina,
Is not the beauty of God revealed through the beauties of nature?
«I took great delight in flowers. When I went to the country, just to see a single one made me think of God. I would pick especially daisies, and make them into wreaths.
I had a particular liking for lilies, roses and Lady’s slippers —, these last on account of their name which reminded me of my heavenly Mother. »
Dina, from six to 10 years, p. 55
« During the last months that I was to spend with them, my father and mother multiplied the joys and pleasures they bestowed on me.(...) !»
« In June, my father suggested a trip to Niagara Falls. During this, our last outing together, the hours passed quickly and happily! My spirit rejoiced in this magnificent journey...! » Dina, from 21 to 24 years, p. 113

Blessed Dina,
you promised you would be for every human heart
a " little beggar of love ".
I know that Jesus has entrusted his Eucharistic Heart to you
so that you may distribute his riches
and do what you will
with his infinite treasures for the souls.
Before leaving for heaven, you said:
« In heaven I will give joy. »
In total confidence, I turn to you
and beg you to intercede on my behalf, for us. …
Like you, we surrender ourselves
to the infinite love of the Heart of Jesus. .Amen. With ecclésiastical approval
