No date is given for this text, or if this was her routine every day, but seems to be at least one example of her constant life of prayer and meditation, or, a prayer vigil.
One hour
after midnight: I transport myself to the Garden of Olives, where
Our Lord drank the chalice of the same sins. (i.e. 'transport' –
spiritually contemplates being there). About a quarter of an hour, I
pray there over the sadness that my sins have caused to Our Lord.
Then I transport myself to the feet of the Blessed Virgin. I ask her
for humility, obedience and the secret of loving the good Lord. Then
I recite the “Memorare”, the Salve Regina and I rest while
thinking of Jesus and Mary living on earth (i.e. When they lived on
earth).
About two o'clock (AM): I transport myself to
hell and, arriving there, I enter the cave where I contemplate the
horror of sin ... I take all the sins of my life that I tie, like a
fagot (wood bundle), with the link of Divine Mercy. I present this
bundle to the Blessed Virgin so that she can give it to her Divine
Son. I imagine myself seeing Our Lord descend, and I beg him to set
it on fire, but a fire of love, mercy and forgiveness. After it is
reduced by the flames, I collect the ashes and I have them blessed by
the Blessed Virgin, and I pray that each grain will publish the mercy
of Our Lord. I say three times: love, love, love. I still meditate,
and I pray for all the enemies of the goodness of God. Then I make my
Spiritual Communion and I enter the Five Wounds of Our Lord. I study
his immense love for all of us, poor sinners. I still meditate and I
see the day passing by the window.
(NOTE: it seems she medetates on the horrror and the eternal rewards due sin which is Hell, and, seems to make a spiritual exercise of seeing this picture, renouncing sin and having her sins burn in hell instead, that she is saved from her sins thanks to the chain of Divine Mercy which binds her sins like a wood bundle and reduces them to ashes theough the Fire of Love Mercy and Forgiveness, and that the ashes are an example of the mercy of God. Then she prays for God's enemies, i.e. sinners.)
At
around three o'clock (AM): I
am transported to Calvary and, there, I make a prayer for all the
good fathers of the Church, especially for those who are our friends.
Then I pray the good Jesus to take a hammer and strike on my heart to
drive in all the virtues ... I pray to the Blessed Virgin to water
all hearts, like a garden, with all the drops of love that are in her
own Heart. I pray for the Holy Church and for the Holy Father. I do
a quarter of an hour of prayer on the Passion, and I remain in the
presence of God.
Around
four o'clock (AM): I
transport myself to Heaven, and I greet the good Angels who are at
the door. Then I send them to greet all the good friends of Our Lord
and mine. Then I become a beggar, covered in rags. I take my heart
like a small bowl and I offer it to the good Jesus. I ask Him for
charity and, when it is filled, I go to the Blessed Virgin and I ask
her to have this small alms carried on all sides. After that, I make
an examination of conscience of all the miseries and distractions of
the past time, and I say the 'Miserere'.
At
five 'o' clock (AM): I
transport myself to the foot of the tabernacle and there, in my
heart, I teach a little lesson to the Good Lord. I “preach” and
ask Him to send His graces to the priests who are going to go up to
the altar. I ask the Cherubim to accompany them from the sacristy to
the altar. I make myself like a little niche behind the altar. In my
little niche, when the priest celebrates the Holy Sacrifice, I hear
the Angels singing and, when Our Lord descends on the altar, I cover
myself with all the same miseries; I implore; I ask for mercy and
forgiveness and I return to the bottom of my niche. When the priest
gives Holy Communion, I make myself a little reptile (i.e. she abases
herself spiritually and considers herself like a lowly reptile); I
follow him to the holy table and I open my mouth to pick up the
crumbs that could fall. I accompany him again to the holy altar, and
I remain at the door of the tabernacle where I pray to the Holy
Eucharist, for myself and my friends. I attend the holy sacrifice. I
imagine the mountain of Calvary and I see Our Lord charged with His
Cross through the priest. I ask all the holy ministers of the Lord
for a drop of the Precious Blood. I pray for all those who do me good
on earth and for the souls in purgatory.
At
seven (AM): I am doing
my morning prayer. I recite my rosary and I rest a little.
At
eight o'clock (AM): I
say my rosary for Fathers Étoile and Providence. I beg my good Angel
to go and say hello to you for me. (I.e her spiritual directors, or,
perhaps her parish priests.)
At
nine o'clock (AM): I
pray in reparation for the outrages they do to the Blessed Sacrament
and for good deeds to be done during the day. I visit the Blessed
Virgin, and I impose myself some small penances.
From
ten to eleven o'clock:
I rest and at noon I make spiritual communion. I recite my rosary of
the Five Wounds. (i.e. The Chaplet of the Holy Wounds).
At
one o'clock in the afternoon:
I am preparing to enter into ecstasy through the Veni Sancte (Come
Holy Spirit) and the litanies of the Blessed Virgin. I invoke her in
the Holy Spirit, I do an act of humility and, from two to five hours,
I remain in ecstasy. I say a few small prayers to thank the good
Lord. I do my self-examination (of conscience), and I rest a little
more.
Around
eight o'clock (PM): I
say the rosary in common, the evening prayer, and I sing a little
hymn as a good evening to the good Lord. After that, very small,
softly, with Angèle (her sister). of our happiness, of our sorrows
and a word on Heaven. After she falls asleep. I stay alone. I make a
big prayer for about an hour. I put myself in the presence of God; I
say my rosary and weep for my sins. It is almost midnight. I stand at
the foot of the Cross. I pray for the victim fathers, for the
brothers and sisters of the Cross. I thank Our Lord for all the good
that He allows me to do, through you my father and through all the
holy priests. I recite the 'Parce Domine' and the 'Cor Jesu
Sacratissimum'.
