Divine Will for every day of the year - April 25, 1923 Volume 15

I was praying, and my sweet Jesus came, placing Himself near me in order to pray together with me; even more, His intelligence was reflected in mine, and I prayed with His; His voice echoed in mine, and I prayed with His word.  But who can say the boundless effects of this prayer?  Then, afterwards, my beloved Jesus told me:  “My daughter, I wanted to pray together with you in order to strengthen you in My Will, and to give you the grace of letting you be present before the Supreme Majesty in the act of the creation of man.  As We endowed him with all goods, and his will was Ours, and Ours was his, everything was Harmony between him and Us; whatever he wanted he would take from Us: Sanctity, Wisdom, Power, Happiness, etc.  He was Our prototype, Our portrait, Our happy son.  So, at the beginning of his existence, Adam had a period in which he perfectly fulfilled the Purpose for which he was created; he experienced what it means to live of the Will of his Creator, and We also were happy in seeing Our acts being reproduced in Our image.  Then, as he broke his will from Ours, he remained separated from Us; but the first acts of man are still in Our Will, and I want nothing else from you but to come into Our Will to continue on from where Adam left, so that you may bind within yourself all the Harmonies that he broke.  And just as this first creature, because he was created by Us as the head of the whole human family, by withdrawing from Our Will brought unhappiness to all, in the same way, as you come to continue on from where he left, We constitute you the head of all, and therefore the bearer of that Happiness and Goods which had been assigned to all had they lived in Our Will.”  

And I:  “My Jesus, how can this be possible?  If not even when You Yourself came upon earth to redeem us and to suffer so many pains, was the Happiness acquired which the first man lost for himself and for all, how can it be now, that by binding myself within Your Eternal Volition, I may give back this lost happiness?"  And Jesus:  “My daughter, all times are in My Hands, I give to whomever I want, and I use whomever I want.  I could very well bring the Happiness that My Will contains upon earth, but I found no human will that wanted to live perennial life in Mine, so as to retie the bonds of Creation, give Me back all the acts of the first man as if he had done them all with the seal of my Supreme Will, and therefore place the lost happiness in the field.  It is true that I had My dear Mama, but She had to cooperate with Me for Redemption.  Besides, man was a slave, imprisoned by his very sins, infirm, covered with wounds - the most repugnant ones; and I came as a loving father to shed My Blood in order to rescue him, as a Doctor to heal him, as a Teacher to teach him the way – the escape so as not to fall into hell.  Poor ill one, how could he have extended himself in the eternal flights of My Volition if he was unable to walk?  Had I wanted to give the happiness which My Will contains, it would have been as though giving it to the dead and letting it be trampled upon.  He was not disposed to receive such a great good, and this is why I wanted to teach the prayer to dispose him, and I contented Myself with waiting for different eras, letting centuries upon centuries go by, to make known the living in My Will – to give the start to this Happiness.”

And I:  “My Love, if with Your Redemption not all are saved, how can it be that Your Will will give this happiness to all?"  And Jesus:  “Man will always be free, I will never take away from him the rights which I gave him in creating him; only, in Redemption I came to open many ways, small paths and shortcuts to facilitate salvation, the sanctity of man, while with My Will I come to open the Royal and Straight Way which leads to the Sanctity of the likeness of their Creator, and which contains True Happiness.  But in spite of this, they will always be free to remain – some on the Royal Way, some on the small paths, and some completely outside; however, in the world there will be what now is not – the Happiness of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven.  Man did his first acts in My Will and then he withdrew, therefore he was ruined; and since he was the head of all, all members were ruined together.  My Humanity formed the plane of all human acts in the Divine Will; My Mama followed Me faithfully; so, everything is prepared.  Nothing else is now needed but another creature who, wanting to live perennially in this Will, may come to take possession of the plane formed by Me, and may open the Royal Way to all, which leads to terrestrial and Celestial Happiness.”

Finding myself in my usual state, I was thinking of how much blessed Jesus suffered in being crowned with thorns. Making Himself seen, Jesus told me: “My daughter, the pains which I suffered were incomprehensible to the created mind. Much more painfully than by those thorns, My Mind was pierced by all the evil thoughts of creatures, in such a way that none of these thoughts could escape Me - I felt them all inside Me. Not only did I feel the pricks of the thorns, but also the disgust of the sins which those thorns represented.”

So, I looked at my adorable Jesus and I could see His Most Holy Head being surrounded by spokes of thorns which came through from behind. All the thoughts of the creatures were in Jesus; they went from Jesus to them, and from them into Jesus, remaining almost linked together — the evil thoughts of the creatures with the Most Holy Thoughts of Jesus... Oh, how Jesus suffered!

Then He added: “My daughter, only the souls who live in My Will can give Me true reparations and soothe Me from thorns so sharp. In fact, since they live in My Will, and since My Will is everywhere, they find themselves in Me and in everyone; they descend into the creatures and rise up to Me; they bring Me all the reparations; they soothe Me. And in the sick minds they turn darkness into light.”

Today I did my meditation on the harm that can come to our souls from the praises that other creatures give us. While I was doing the application to myself, to see whether there was complacency for human praises within me, Jesus came close to me and told me: “When a heart is full of the knowledge of self, the praises of men are like sea waves that rise and overflow, but never go out of their boundary. In the same way, human praises yell and shout, they clamor, they get close even to the heart, but in finding it full and well surrounded by the strong walls of the knowledge of self, unable to find a place for themselves, they draw back, causing no damage to the soul. So, this is what you must be careful about: taking the praises and scorns of creatures into no account.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 22, 1927 Volume 21

… Then, I followed the Supreme Will in the act in which the Divine Being was about to create man, so that I too, together with my first father Adam, might love Him with the same love with which he loved Him in the first instant of his creation.  I wanted to receive that same Divine Breath, that outpouring of Love, in order to give it back to my Creator.  

But while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus, all delighted, told me:  “My daughter, for one who lives in My Will there is not one Act of Ours at which she cannot be present, nor any Act that We issued from Ourselves that she cannot receive.  Here is My breath to you, and the outpouring of Our Love.  How great was Our Delight in this first Act of the creation of man.  We had created Heaven and earth, but We felt nothing new within Ourselves; but in creating man it was very different:  it was a will that was being created, and this will was free, and in it We enclosed Our Will, as though putting It in a bank in order to collect the interest of Our Love, of the glory and of the adoration that befitted Us.  

“Oh! how Love overflowed within Us; how it trembled with Joy in pouring into this free will—to hear it say:  ‘I love You.’  And when man, filled with Our own, released from his breast the first word—‘I love You’—immense was Our Delight, because it was as if he were giving Us the interest for all the goods We had placed in him.  This free will, created by Us, was the depository of the capital of a Divine Will, and We would content Ourselves with a small interest, without ever demanding the capital back.  Therefore, great was the sorrow for the fall of man, because he rejected Our capital, so as not to give Us Our small interest.  His bank remained empty, and his enemy, banding with him, filled him with passions and miseries.  Poor one—he went broke.  

“Now, My daughter, since the act of the creation of man was a solemn Act, and of great Delight for Us, We call you and want you in this act, in order to repeat the Solemnity of it, placing in your will the great capital of Ours.  And as we do this, Our Love overflows and trembles with Joy, with great Delight, because We see Our Purpose realized.  Surely You will not deny the small interest to Us; you will not reject Our capital, will you?  Even more, every day we will do the accounts; I will call you to be present at that first Act when We created this free will—you, to give Me the interest, and I, to see if I can add some more of My capital.”

My mind was wandering in the Divine Fiat, and I thought to myself:  “Oh! how I would like to receive that first act of Creation—that Divine outpouring of Intense Love, that He poured upon the first creature when He created him.  I would like to receive that Omnipotent Breath, to be able to return to my Creator all the love and the glory that He had established to receive from the creature.”  

But while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus, clasping me to Himself, told me:  “My daughter, this is precisely My Purpose for coming to you so often; so much so, that it may appear strange to some, and almost outside of My usual ways, since almost with no one have I done this, of going so often.  All this is to reorder My Prime Act of the way I created the creature; and this is why I return to you, staying like the most loving father with his daughter.  

“How many times have I not breathed into you, to the point that you could not contain My Omnipotent Breath?  I have poured in you My contained Love, to the point of filling you up to the brim of your soul.  All this was nothing other than the renewal of the Solemn Act of Creation.  I wanted to feel that great delight of when I created man, and therefore I come to you—not only to renew it, but to reorder the Order, the Harmony, the Love, between Creator and creature, in the way he was created.  

“In the beginning of the creation of man there was no distance between Me and him—everything was familiarity.  As soon as he would call Me, I would be with him; I loved him as My son and, as My son, I felt so drawn to him that I could not do without going and being with him very often.  With you I am renewing the beginning of Creation; therefore, be attentive in receiving such a Great Good.”

Everything that I have written and that I write is only to obey; and much more, for fear that my Jesus, being displeased, may find a pretext to deprive me of Him. He alone knows how much it costs me.

So, I spent one day without Jesus — just a few shadows of Him. Oh God, what pain! I was saying to myself: “How soon He broke His promise of not leaving me! Oh Holy Eternal Volition, bring me my Highest Good, my All!” The pain I felt was such that I felt huffy and fussy; but in this state, I tried to fuse myself in His Holy Volition. In the meantime He came, showing Himself crying bitterly and with His Heart cut into many pieces. In seeing Him crying, I put my huffiness aside, and hugging Him and drying His tears, I said to Him: “What is it, Jesus, why do you cry? Tell me, what have they done to You?” And He: “Ah, My daughter, they want to challenge Me. They are preparing for Me an awful challenge — and it is from the leaders. My sorrow is such that I feel my Heart being cut into pieces! Ah, how just it is that my Justice pour Itself out against creatures! Therefore, come into My Will together with Me; let us rise between Heaven and earth and adore together the Supreme Majesty. Let us bless It and give It homage for all, so that Heaven and earth may be filled with adorations, homages and blessings, and all may receive their effects.”

So I spent the morning praying together with Jesus in His Will; but — oh, surprise! As we prayed, one was the word, but the Divine Volition diffused it over all created things, and Its Mark remained on all of them. It brought it into Heaven, and not only did all the Blessed receive Its Mark, but it was for them cause of new beatitude. It descended to the bottom of the earth, and even into Purgatory, and all received its effects. But who can say how it was to pray with Jesus, and all the effects that it produced?

Then, after we prayed together, He told me: “My daughter, have you seen what it means to pray in My Will? Just as there is no point at which my Volition does not exist – It circulates in everything and in everyone; It is Life, Actor and Spectator of everything - in the same way, the acts done in My Volition become life, actors and spectators of all, even of the very joy, beatitude and happiness of the Saints. Everywhere they bring light, the balsamic and celestial air which unleashes joys and happiness. Therefore, never depart from My Will; Heaven and earth await you to receive New Joy and New Splendor.”

… After this, I continued my round in all that Our Lord did on earth and I stopped in the Act of Resurrection.  What Triumph, what Glory.  Heaven poured Itself on earth to be spectator of such a Great Glory.  My beloved Jesus said: “My daughter, in My Resurrection, the right was given to creatures to Rise Again in Me to New Life.  It was the Confirmation, the Seal of My whole Life, My Works and My Words.  If I came on earth it was to give to each and every one My Resurrection, as their own—to give them Life and make them Rise Again in My own Resurrection.  But do you want to know where is the Real Resurrection of the creature?  Not in the end of her days, but while she is still living on earth.  One who Lives in My Will Rises Again to Light and says: ‘My night is over.’  She Rises Again in the Love of her Creator, so that there is no more cold or snow for her, but the Smile of the Heavenly Spring; she Rises Again to Sanctity, that puts in rushed flight all weaknesses, miseries and passions; she Rises Again to all that is Heaven, and if she looks at the earth, Heaven and sun, she does it to find the Works of her Creator—to take the opportunity to narrate to Him His Glory and His long Love Story.  

 “Therefore, one who Lives in My Will can say, as the Angel said to the holy women on the way to the Sepulcher, ‘He is risen.  He is not here any more.’   One who Lives in My Will can also say, ‘My will is not with me any longer—it is Risen Again in the Fiat.’  And if the circumstances of life, opportunities and sufferings surround the creature, as if they were looking for her will, she can answer: ‘My will is Risen Again; it is not in my power anymore.  I possess, in exchange, the Divine Will, and I want to cover with Its Light all things around me—circumstances and sufferings, to make them like many Divine Conquests.’  The soul who Lives in Our Will finds Life in the Acts of her Jesus, and as always, in this Life, she finds Our Operating, Conquering, Triumphant Will.  She gives us so much Glory that Heaven cannot contain it.  Therefore, Live always in Our Will—never leave it, if you want to be Our Triumph and Our Glory.” 

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 19, 1901 Volume 4

As I continue to pass my days without my adorable Jesus – at the most, He comes like shadow and flashes – my poor heart is extremely embittered. I feel His privation so much, that all of my fibers, my nerves, my bones, and even the drops of my blood, writhe continuously, and say to me: “Where is Jesus? How is it – you have lost Him? What have you done that He is no longer coming? How can we be without Him? Who else will console us, since we have lost the fount of all consolation? Who will fortify us in weakness? Who will correct us and uncover our defects, since we have been deprived of that light which, more than electric filament, penetrated into the most intimate hiding places, and with the most ineffable sweetness corrected and healed our wounds? Everything is misery, everything is squalor, everything is gloom without Him! How shall we go on?” And even though in the depth of my will I feel resigned, and I keep offering His very privation as the greatest sacrifice for love of Him, everything else wages a continuous war against me, and puts me in a torture. Ah, Lord, how much it costs me to have known You, and at how high a price You make me pay for Your past visits!

Now, while I was in this state, He made Himself seen for short instants, and He told me: “Since Grace is part of Me, as you possess It, with reason and by strict necessity everything that forms your being cannot be without Me. This is the reason why everything asks you for Me and you are tortured continuously. Since you are soaked with Me and filled with part of Me, only when they possess Me, not only in part, but completely - then do they find peace and remain content.” And as I lamented about my hard position, He added: “I too experienced extreme abandonment in the course of My Passion, even though My Will was always united with the Father and with the Holy Spirit. And I wanted to suffer this in order to Divinize the Cross completely; so much so, that in looking at Me and in looking at the Cross, you will find the same Splendor, the same Lessons, and the same Mirror in which you can reflect yourself continuously, with no difference between the two.”

I was fusing myself in my sweet Jesus in order to diffuse myself in all creatures, and fuse them all in Jesus. So I kept flinging myself between the creatures and Jesus, to prevent my beloved Jesus from being offended, and to prevent creatures from offending Him. Now, as I was doing this, He told me: “My daughter, as you pour yourself into My Will and fuse yourself in Me, a Sun is formed in you. As you keep thinking, loving, repairing, etc., the Rays are formed; and My Will, as background, becomes the Crown of these Rays. So the Sun is formed which, rising up in the air, melts into beneficial dew upon all creatures. Therefore, the more you fuse yourself in Me, the more Suns you keep forming. 

“Oh, how beautiful it is to see these Suns which, rising and rising, remain circumfused within My own Sun, and pour beneficial dew upon all! How many Graces do creatures not receive! I am so taken by this, that as they fuse themselves, I pour abundant dew of all kinds of Graces upon them, so that they may form greater Suns, and may be able to pour the beneficial dew more abundantly over all.” 

And as I was fusing myself, I could feel Light, Love, Graces, being poured upon my head.

Continuing in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself, and I found my sweet Jesus, my Life and my All. Innumerable suns of light were coming out of Him, and surrounded Him. I flew into the midst of that Light, and throwing myself into His arms, I clasped Him very tightly, telling Him: “Finally I found You. Now I will not leave You any more. You make me wait so long, and I remain without life, without You. But I cannot be without life, therefore now I will not leave You any more.” And I squeezed Him more tightly for fear that He might escape; and Jesus, as though enjoying my squeezes, told me: “My daughter, do not fear, I will not leave you either. If you cannot be without Me, neither can I be without you; and to make you be sure that I do not leave you, I want to chain you with my own Light.”

I remained so immersed and interwoven within the Light of Jesus that it seemed to me that I would no longer find the way out. How happy I felt, and how many things I understood in that Light! I lack the words to express myself. I just remember that He said to me: “Daughter of My Will, this Light that you see is nothing other than My Will which wants to consume your will in order to give you the shape of Our Image — the Three Divine Persons — in such a way that, transforming you completely into Ourselves, We will leave Our Volition in you as divine actor, which matches Us in everything We do. So, Our Images will come out from Ourselves, and Our Will, acting within you, will take as many of them from you. Oh, how the Purpose of Creation will be fulfilled!

“The echo of Our Volition will be the echo of Our own Volition possessed by you; the exchanges will be mutual; Love will be reciprocal; we will be in full harmony, and the creature will disappear within her Creator. Then, nothing else will be lacking to Our Joy, to Our Happiness, for which We delivered Creation. The ‘Let Us make man in Our Image and Likeness’ will have its effect. Our Will alone, as Actor within the creature, will give completion to everything, and the Creation will bring Us the Divine Purpose, and We will receive It in Our Womb as Our Work, just as We delivered It. … “

… Then, as I was very much in suffering, He came back a little later and told me:  “Today is the Day of the Palms in which I was proclaimed King.  All must aspire to a kingdom, but in order to acquire the Eternal kKngdom it is necessary for the creature to acquire the regime of herself through the dominion of her passions.  The only means is suffering, because suffering is reigning; that is, through patience, man puts himself in his place, becoming king of himself and of the Eternal Kingdom.”

I was dying because of the continuous privations of my sweet Jesus. This morning I found myself completely in Jesus, as if I were swimming in the immensity of my Highest Good. Then, I looked inside myself and I saw Jesus in me. I could hear the whole Being of Jesus speaking: His Feet, His Hands, His Heart, His Mouth - in sum, everything. Not only were they voices, but the wonder is that these voices became Immense, multiplying themselves for every creature. The Feet of Jesus spoke to the feet and to each step of the creatures; His Hands to their works; His Eyes to their glances; His Thoughts to each one of their thoughts... What Harmonies between Creator and creatures! What an enchanting sight! What Love! But - alas, all these Harmonies were broken by ingratitudes and sins. Love was repaid with offenses. And Jesus, all afflicted, told me: “My daughter, I am the Word, and My Love toward the creature is so great that I multiply Myself into as many voices for as many acts, thoughts, affections, desires, etc. as each creature does, in order to receive from them the return of those acts done for love of Me. I give Love and I want love, but I receive offenses instead. I give Life, but if they could, they would give Me death. But in spite of all this, I continue My Loving Office. 

“However, know that the soul who lives united with Me and from My Volition, swimming in My Immensity, becomes one voice together with Me. Therefore, if she walks, her steps speak, pursuing the sinner; her thoughts are voices to the minds; and so on with everything else. Only from these souls do I find My Reward, beginning with the work of Creation. And in seeing that, unable to do anything by themselves to correspond to My Love and maintain the Harmonies between Myself and them, they enter into My Will, taking ownership and acting in a Divine manner - My Love finds Its outpouring and I love them more than all other creatures.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 14, 1923 Volume 15

[Jesus speaking]

“… Now, My daughter, let’s come to My Will.  Do you think it is a Sanctity like the other sanctities?  A good, a grace, almost like the others which I have given for many centuries to the other Saints and to the whole Church?  No, no!  This is about a New Era - about a good which must serve all generations; but it is necessary that I first centralize all this good in one creature alone, just as I did in Redemption by centralizing everything in My Mama.  Take a look at how things proceed in a parallel way:  in order to make Redemption come and to dispose souls for It, I made the promise of the future Messiah, so that, by hoping for Him to come, they would not only dispose themselves, but find, they too, their own salvation in the future Redeemer.  Now, in order to dispose souls to live in My Will, to let them partake in the goods It contains, and to make man return to the path of his origin, just as he was created by Me, I Myself wanted to pray as the first, making My Voice resound from one end of the earth to another, and even up high in Heaven, saying:  ‘Our Father, who art in Heaven’.  I did not say ‘My Father,’ but I called Him Father of the whole human family, so as to engage Him in that which I was going to add:  ‘May all hallow Your Name, so that Your Kingdom may come, and Your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven’.  This was the purpose of Creation, and I asked the Father that it be fulfilled.  As I prayed, the Father surrendered to My Supplications, and I formed the seed of a Good so great; and so that this seed might be known, I taught My Prayer to the Apostles, and they transmitted it to the whole Church, so that, just as the people of the future Redeemer found salvation in Him and disposed itself to receive the promised Messiah, in the same way, with this seed formed by Me, the Church might pray and repeat My very Prayer many times, and might dispose Herself to receive the good of recognizing and loving My Celestial Father as their Father, in such a way as to deserve to be loved as children and receive the Great Good that My Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.  

“In this seed and in this hope that My Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, the very Saints have formed their sanctity, and the martyrs have shed their blood.  There is no good which does not derive from this seed.  So, the whole Church prays; and just as the tears, the penances, the prayers to obtain the Messiah were directed toward that excelling Virgin whom I was to dispose in order to centralize such a great good in Her, so that they might receive their Savior, even though they did not know whom She would be – in the same way, now, when the Church recites the ‘Our Father’, it is precisely for you that She prays, so that I may centralize in you all the good that My Will contains, the ‘way’ - the ‘how’ the Divine Will may have life on earth as It does in Heaven.  And even though you are not known, by echoing My Prayer, ‘Thy Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven,’ the Church prays Me, presses Me to centralize all this Good in a second virgin, so that, like a second savior, she may save unsafe humanity; and making use of My inseparable Love and Mercy, I may answer My own Prayer, united to that of the whole Church, making man come back to his origin, to the purpose for which I created him – that My Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.  This is precisely the living in My Will; and everything I keep manifesting to you pushes you to this, confirms you in this.  This is the great foundation I keep forming in your soul; and in order to do this, I keep centralizing in you all the graces, past, present and future, which I have given to all generations.  Even more, I double them, I multiply them, because since My Will is the greatest, the holiest, the noblest thing, which has no beginning and no end, in order to place It in one creature, it is right and decorous that I centralize in her all possible Goods, innumerable Graces, Divine Purity and Nobility, so that this Will of Mine may have the same cortege It has in Heaven.  It is the same Will that operated in Redemption, and wanted to make use of a Virgin.  What Portents and Prodigies of graces did It not work in Her?  My Will is Great, It contains all Goods, and in operating, It acts with Magnanimity; and if it is about doing works and doing good for all humanity, then It puts all of Its Goods at stake.

"Now It wants to make use of another virgin in order to centralize Its Will in her, and to begin to make known that Its Will must be done on earth as It is in Heaven.  And if in Redemption It wanted to come to save lost man, to satisfy for his sins - which man had no power to do - and to give him refuge and many other goods which Redemption contains, now, wanting to display even more Love than in Redemption Itself by making My Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, My Will comes to give man his state of origin, his nobility, the purpose for which he was created.  It comes to open the current between Itself and the human will, in such a way that, absorbed by this Divine Will, being dominated by It, the human will will give It life within itself, and My Will will reign on earth as It does in Heaven.”  

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 13, 1932 Volume 30

I am always in the arms of the Divine Will, like a child clasped in the arms of the Mama, Who holds me so clasped in Its arms of Light, that It does not let me see, hear, and touch anything but the Divine Will alone.  And I thought to myself:  “O! if I were free from the prison of my body, my flights would have been more rapid in the Fiat.  I would have known even more, I would have done one single Act with It.  But it seems to me that my human nature makes me make interruptions, as if it would place the obstacles, and makes it difficult for me to always run in the Divine Will.”

But while I thought this, My Divine Teacher Jesus, visiting my little soul, said to me:  “Blessed daughter, you must know that one who Lives in My Divine Will has the virtue of keeping ordered the nature of the creature, and instead of being an obstacle, it gives help in order to be able to complete more Acts of Divine Will.  Rather, it serves as earth to the flowers, that lends itself to form the beautiful flowerings that almost hide and cover it with the variety of their beauty, to which the sun communicates the variety of the most beautiful colors and makes them brilliant with its light.  If it were not for the earth, the flowers would lack a place in order to form their life to be able to be born and make their beautiful appearance.  And the sun would not have where and to whom to communicate the display of its beautiful colors and of its pure sweetnesses.  Such is the human nature for the soul who Lives in My Divine Will; it is as fecund and pure earth, that lends itself to giving the field of action and to letting her form not only the beautiful flowerings, but to make as many Suns come out for however many Acts as she does.  

“My daughter, it is an enchantment of Beauty to see the human nature that Lives in My Divine Will covered and hidden as under a meadow of flowers, all invested by the most resplendent Light.  The soul by herself could not have been able to form so many varieties of Beauty, while united she finds the little crosses, the necessities of life, the variety of circumstances, now sorrowful, now cheerful, that as seeds serve as sowing in the earth of the human nature, so as to form its flowery field.  The soul does not have earth, and could not produce any flowering; on the other hand, united with the body, O! how many beautiful things it can do.  Even more because this human nature was formed by Me, I molded it part by part, giving it the most beautiful form.  I can say that I did as the Divine Craftsman and I placed such Mastery there, that no one else can reach Me.  So I Loved him.  I still see the touch of My Creative Hands Impressed on the human nature, therefore it is also Mine, it pertains to Me.  

“Everything is in the complete accord:  nature, soul, human and Divine Will.  When there is this, that nature lends itself as earth, the human will is in the act of receiving the Life of the Divine Will in her acts, she lets herself be Dominated in everything, nor does she know anything else in all her things than My Will alone as Life, Actor, Bearer, and Conservator of everything.  O! then everything is Holy, everything is Pure and Beautiful.  My Fiat remains over her with Its Brush of Light in order to Perfect her, Divinize her, and Spiritualize her.  Therefore your human nature cannot be an obstacle to the flights in My Will; rather, your volition can be for you an obstacle, in which you must always have the aim of not giving it life.  But from your earth there is nothing to fear; if it has received, it gives what it has received.  Indeed, it gives even more, and changes the seed into flowers, into plants, and into fruits.  And if it has not, it remains in its mute silence, and it remains as sterile earth.”

So I thanked Jesus for His Beautiful Lesson, and I felt myself all contented that my human nature could not harm me, rather it could help me in making the Life of the Divine Will grow in my soul.  And I continued my rounds and flights in Its Acts. …

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 12, 1917 Volume 12

Finding myself in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus came, and since I was a little in suffering, He took me in His arms and told me: “My beloved daughter, beloved daughter of Mine, rest in Me. And your pains, do not keep them with you, but send them up to My Cross, so that they may become the cortege of My Pains, relieving Me, and so that My Pains may be the cortege of your pains, sustain you, burn with the same Fire, and be consumed together. I will look at your pains as if they were Mine; I will give them the same Effects and the same Value; and they will perform the same Offices which I did on the Cross, before the Father and before souls. Or better still, come, you yourself, onto the Cross. How happy we will be together, even in suffering. In fact, it is not the suffering that renders the creature unhappy; rather, suffering makes her victorious, glorious, rich, beautiful. She becomes unhappy when something is missing to her love. Being united with Me on the Cross, you will be completely satisfied in Love; your pains will be Love; your life will be Love - all Love. And so you will be happy.”

[Jesus speaking]

“… However, know that I do not want to force you. I have never liked force, so much so, that when I came upon earth and I wanted to go and be born in Bethlehem, I went, yes, knocking at door after door to have a place in which to be born, but I did not force anyone… If I wanted, with My Power, I would have used force to obtain a place less uncomfortable in which to be born, but I did not want to do so. I contented Myself with knocking and asking for shelter, and without insisting, I moved on to knock at other doors. And since no one wanted to receive Me, I was content with going to be born in a cave, in which animals gave Me free access and did their first adorations to their Creator, instead of forcing anyone to let Me enter. However, this refusal cost very much to the people of Bethlehem, because they never again received the good of My soles treading their lands, or of seeing Me in their midst again. I like spontaneous things, not forced; I like that the soul make all that I want her own, as though it were hers and not Mine, and that freely, with love, she give Me what I want. Force is for slaves, for servants, and for those who do not love. This is why I move on from those souls, just as I did with the people of Bethlehem, who were not ready to let Me enter into them and to give Me full freedom to do whatever I wanted with them.”

On hearing this, I said: “My Love, Jesus, no, I do not want to be forced, but, freely, I want to remain in this state, even at the cost of mortal pains. And You - never leave me, and give the grace to always do your Most Holy Will.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 10, 1910 Volume 9

I write to obey, but I feel my heart crack from the effort I am making. But, Viva Obedience – Viva the Will of God! I write, but I tremble, and I myself don’t know what I am saying. Obedience wants me to write something about how I prepare myself and thank blessed Jesus at Communion. I don’t know how to say anything about it, because my sweet Jesus, in seeing my incapacity and that I am good at nothing, does everything Himself: He prepares my soul, and He Himself administers the thanksgiving to me; and I follow Him.

Now, the way of Jesus is always Immense, and together with Jesus, I too feel immense, and as if I were able to do something. Then Jesus withdraws, and I remain always the stupid one that I am, the little ignorant one, the little bad one. And it is exactly because of this that Jesus loves me – because I am ignorant, and I am no one, and I can do nothing. Knowing that I want to receive Him at any cost, so as not to receive dishonor in coming into me, but rather, highest honor, He Himself prepares my poor soul. He gives me His own things, His Merits, His Clothing, His Works, His Desires – in sum, all of Himself. If necessary, also that which the Saints did, because everything is His own; if necessary, also that which the Most Holy Mama did. And I too say to all: “Jesus, give honor to Yourself in coming into me. My Queen Mama, Saints, all Angels, I am so very poor; everything that is yours – put it in my heart, not for me, but for the honor of Jesus.” And I feel that all of Heaven contributes to preparing me. And after Jesus has descended within me, I seem to see Him all pleased, seeing Himself honored by His own things; and sometimes He tells me: “Brava, brava, My daughter, how happy I am – how pleased I am. Everywhere I look within you, I find things worthy of Me. Everything that is Mine, is yours; how many beautiful things you made Me find!”

Knowing that I am so very poor, that I have done nothing, and that nothing is mine, I laugh at the contentment of Jesus, and I say: “Thank goodness Jesus thinks like this! It is enough that He came – this is enough for me. It doesn’t matter that I have used His own things – the poor must receive from the rich.” Now, it is true that a few glimmers here and there remain in me about the way Jesus has at Communion, but I am unable to reunite these glimmers together, and form a preparation and a thanksgiving. I lack the capacity; it seems to me that I prepare Myself in Jesus Himself, and that I thank Him with Jesus Himself.

This morning, having received Communion, I was in a sea of bitternesses for I did not see my highest Good, Jesus.  I felt all of my interior alarmed when, in one instant, He made Himself seen and told me, almost reproaching me:  “Don’t you know that not abandoning oneself in Me is wanting to usurp the rights of My Divinity, giving Me a great affront?  Therefore, abandon yourself, calm all your interior in Me, and you will find Peace; and in finding Peace, you will find Me.”  Having said this, He disappeared like a flash, without letting Himself be seen any more.  Ah! Lord, keep me, Yourself, all abandoned and well clasped in Your arms, so that I may never escape; otherwise I will always make my little escapes!

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 8, 1918 Volume 12

Returning to the point about living in the Divine Will, I was told that it was like living in the state of union with God; and my always lovable Jesus, in coming, said to me: “My daughter, there is a great difference between living united with Me and living in My Will.” As He was saying this, He stretched His arms toward me and told me: “Come into My Will, even for one instant, and you will see the great difference.”

I found myself in Jesus. My tiny atom was swimming in the Eternal Volition. And since this Eternal Volition is one single Act that contains, altogether, all the acts, past, present and future - since I was in the Eternal Volition, I took part in that single Act which contains all acts, as much as it is possible for creature. I took part also in the acts which do not exist, and which must yet exist, until the end of the centuries, and until God will be God. And for these acts too I loved Him, I thanked Him, I blessed Him, etc. There was no act which escaped me. I took the Love of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and I made it mine, just as their Will was mine; and I gave it to Them as if it were my own. How happy I was to be able to give Them their own Love as though my own! And how They found their full contentment and complete outpouring in receiving their own Love from me, as if It were mine! But who can say everything? I lack the words.

Now, blessed Jesus told me: “Have you seen what living in My Will is? It is to disappear and to enter the Sphere of Eternity; it is to penetrate into the Omnipotence of the Eternal One - into the Uncreated Mind, and take part in everything and in each Divine Act, as much as it is possible for a creature. It is to make use, even while on earth, of all the Divine Qualities; it is to hate evil in a Divine way. It is extending oneself to everyone without exhaustion, because the Will which animates this creature is Divine. It is the Sanctity which is not yet known, which I will make known, and which will place the last ornament, the most beautiful and the brightest among all other sanctities. It will be the Crown and the Fulfillment of all the other sanctities. 

“Now, to live united with Me is not to disappear - two beings appear together; but one who does not disappear cannot enter into the Sphere of Eternity to take part in all the Divine Acts. Ponder well, and you will see the great difference.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 7, 1901 Volume 4

… I saw my adorable Jesus for a little, in the Act of His Resurrection, with His face so refulgent as to not be comparable to any other splendor. It seemed to me that the Most Holy Humanity of Our Lord, though It was Living Flesh, was so bright and transparent that one could see with clarity the Divinity united to the Humanity. Now, while I was seeing Him so Glorious, a Light that came from Him seemed to tell me: “My Humanity received so much Glory by means of perfect obedience which, destroying the ancient nature completely, gave Me back the New Nature, Glorious and Immortal. In the same way, by means of obedience, the soul can form within her the perfect resurrection to virtues. For example: if the soul is afflicted, obedience will make her rise again to Joy; if restless, obedience will make her rise again to Peace; if tempted, obedience will administer to her the strongest chain with which to bind the enemy, and will make her rise again victorious over the diabolical snares; if she is besieged by passions and vices, by killing them, obedience will make her rise again to virtues. This, to the soul, and in due time, it will also form the resurrection of the body.”

… Now, in this state I tried to fuse myself in the Holy Will of God, and I said: “My Love, in Your Will what is Yours is mine; all created things are mine. The Sun is mine, and I give it to You in return, so that all the light and heat of the Sun, each drop of its light and heat, may tell You that I love You, I adore You, I bless You, I pray to You for all. The stars are mine, and in every flickering of the stars I seal my ‘I love You’, infinite and immense, for all. The plants, the flowers, the water, the fire, the air, are mine, and I give them to You in return, that all of them may say to You, in the name of all: ‘I love You with that same Eternal Love with which You created us…’" But if I wanted to say everything it would take too long. 

Then Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, how beautiful are the prayers and the acts done in My Will! How the creature is transformed in God the Creator Himself, and gives Him the return for what He has given to her! I created everything for man and I gave everything to him as gift! In My Will the creature rises up to her God and Creator, and finds Him in the act in which He created all things to give them to her as gift; and, trembling before the multiplicity of so many gifts, not having within herself the Creative Power to create as many things for as many as she has received - she offers her own things to requite Him in love. 

"I gave you sun, stars, flowers, water, fire, air…, to give you Love; and you, grateful, accepted them, and putting My Love in circulation, you gave Me the return for them. So, I gave you sun, and sun you gave to Me; I gave you stars, flowers, water…, and you gave them back to Me. The notes of My Love resounded again over all created things, and with one voice they gave Me the Love which I made flow over the whole Creation. In My Will the soul places herself at the level of her Creator, and, in His own Will, she receives and she gives. Oh, what a contest between creature and Creator! If all could see it, they would remain stupefied at seeing that in My Will the soul becomes a little god - but everything by virtue of the power of My Will.”
