XIV. I look to the loving Mother with the mindset of a loving, innocent, humble, and obedient daughter towards her beloved mother. I depend on this entirely and it urges me to please this most loveable Mother as much as possible and to obey her at her command. I will not move the inner powers of my soul or limbs of my body except at her command, under her guidance and direction. Today, it seems, she has been inviting me and asking me to completely dedicate myself to her, to possess and surrender myself inwardly and outwardly, body, heart, and soul with all its powers. I have done so and entirely relinquished myself to her and completely consecrated and appropriated myself to her. I no longer wish to remain or be autonomous, but entirely hers; I make a sort of promise of obedience to her, that I will listen to her will and inspirations in everything and that I will follow her wherever she guides or leads me, as long as my spiritual father agrees with it.
Since the moment I dedicated myself in this way and made the aforementioned promise of obedience to the loving Mother, I have been experiencing very perceptibly how she guides and leads me in everything I am to do or refrain from, much more surely and clearly than if she were guiding me from one act to another herself. Therefore, when I need to change some act or deed, that dear, tender, loving, humble, obedient, respectful, and submissive attention to this most dear Mother comes to me naturally, and I behave like a loving daughter, I quickly glance at her to see what pleases or displeases her and consequently to her Son, with whom she is one.
