Divine Will for every day of the year - August 12, 1910 Volume 9

As I was in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself and I saw some Priests, as well as Jesus, who made Himself seen in my interior all dislocated and with His limbs detached. Jesus pointed at those Priests, making me understand that even though they were Priests, they were members, detached from His Body; and lamenting He said: “My daughter, how offended I am by Priests! The superiors do not watch over My Sacramental lot, and expose Me to enormous sacrileges. These whom you see are separated members, and although they offend Me very much, My Body has no more contact with their wicked actions; but the others who pretend they are not separated from Me and continue their actions as Priests – oh! how much more they offend Me! To what an atrocious slaughter I am exposed, how many chastisements they draw – I can bear them no more!”

And as He was saying this, I saw many Priests running away from the Church and turning against the Church to wage war against Her. I looked at those Priests with great sorrow, and I felt a Light that made me comprehend that the origin of this and all the evil of Priests is in dealing with souls about human things, things all of a material nature, without a strict necessity. These human things form a net for the Priest which blinds his mind, hardens his heart to Divine things, and prevents his step on the path that befits him in the office of his ministry. Not only this, but it is a net for souls, because they bring what is human, and receive what is human, and grace remains as though excluded from them. Oh! how much evil is committed by these – how many slaughters of souls they make!”

May the Lord enlighten everyone.

Finding myself in my usual state, I saw my adorable Jesus with a Cross in His hand, all full of white pearls. Giving it to me as Gift, He placed it on my breast, and it sank into my heart as inside a room. Then He told me: “My daughter, the Cross is a Treasure, and the safest place in which to keep this valuable Treasure is one’s own soul. Or rather, it is a safe place when the soul is disposed to receive this Treasure with patience, with resignation and with the other virtues, because the virtues are as many keys that secure it, so as not to spoil it or expose it to thieves. But if it does not find especially the gold key of patience, this Treasure will find many thieves, who will steal it and spoil it.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 10, 1931 Volume 29

…So, I was thinking to myself:  “How ugly the human nature is without the Divine.”  And my sweet Jesus told me:  “My daughter, ugly is the human nature that lives without My Will, because it was created by the Supreme Being to live united together with the Divine Fiat.  So, by living without It, a shift takes place in the human nature; in this shift, the order, the strength, the love, the light, the sanctity, the very reason, are shifted.  All of these beautiful qualities are present in the creature, because they were placed by God as within a sacrarium; but they are present outside of their place—all in disorder; and since they are out of place, one is against the other:  passions fight sanctity, weakness fights strength, human love fights the Divine, the creature the Creator, and so forth.  The human nature without the Divine Will transforms itself into ugly, it turns upside down, and in its disorder it wages war against its Creator.  It happens as with the soul and the body, which were created by God to live life together:  if the body wanted to live separate life from the soul, would it not have the sad lot of undergoing such transformation as to no longer be recognized from what it was?  As Our Divinity created man, Our Infinite Wisdom concurred with It, which, as the Artisan and as the Expert who possesses the whole science of the art of being able to Create, in Our All-Seeingness saw that, in order for this man to be Our Honor and a work Worthy of Our Creative Hands, and Our Glory and also his, he was to be formed as body and soul; and We gave charge to Our Will as primary life of the soul and of the body.  So, what the soul is to the body, Our Will was to be for both one and the other.  Therefore, the creature was created, and had in her beginning: body, soul, human will and Divine Will—all together, that were to live life in common, with highest accord.  And Our Will, that held the primacy, was to make Itself nourisher and preserver and dominator of this creature.

“So, if without Our Divine Will the human nature is ugliness, united with Ours it is of a rare and enchanting beauty.  In its creation, the seed of light was placed in it by Us, and Our Fiat, more than most tender mother, extends with Its wings of light over this seed, and caresses it, delights it, kisses it, nourishes it, makes it grow, and communicates to it, with Its heat and light, all the varieties of the Divine Beauties.  And the human nature receives the participation, remains under the mighty and continuous influence of a Strength, of a Sanctity, of a Love fully Divine, and it grows beautiful, lovable and admirable to all.  Therefore, the human nature, the way it was created by Us, is not ugly, but beautiful, nor do We know how to do ugly things; but it can render itself ugly by not keeping to the ways in which it was created and wanted by Us.  See, then, how necessary it is that creatures do and live in Our Will—because It enters the first act of their creation.  …”

Continuing in my usual state, I was feeling a little disturbed, and blessed Jesus, on coming, told me:  “My daughter, the soul who is at peace and whose whole being tends completely into Me, drips with drops of light which fall upon My garment and form My ornament.  On the other hand, the soul who is disturbed drips with darkness, which forms the diabolical ornament.  Not only this, but disturbance impedes the course of grace and renders it unable to operate good.”  Then He added:  “If the soul becomes disturbed over everything, it is a sign that she is full of herself.  If she becomes disturbed with something that happens to her, but does not with something else, it is a sign that she has something of God, but there are many voids to be filled.  If, then, nothing disturbs her, it is a sign that she is all filled with God.  Oh! how much harm disturbance does to the soul – to the point of rejecting God and of filling her completely with herself.”

This morning blessed Jesus came for just a little, and since I was all tired because of His privation, He told me: “My daughter, in order for the soul to reach her central point, it is necessary that she run always, without ever stopping, because by running, her path will become smoother, and as she keeps going, the point which she must reach in order to find her center will be manifested to her; and along the way, the Grace which is necessary to her journey will be administered to her, in such a way that, helped by Grace, she will not feel the weight of her toiling, or of life. All the opposite for one who walks and stops. In fact, just by stopping, she will feel the tiredness of those steps which she has already taken, and will lose stamina for the journey. By not walking, she will not be able to see her point, which is a good most high, and will not be attracted to it. Not seeing her run, Grace will not give itself in vain, and her life will become unbearable, because idleness produces boredom and bother.”

I was continuing my acts in the Divine Volition, and I thought to myself:  “How can the Divine Will come to reign?  What will be the means, the helps, the graces in order to dispose the creatures to let themselves be dominated by It?”  

And my always beloved Jesus, moving in my interior, all goodness and tenderness, told me:  “My daughter, the principal means in order to make My Divine Fiat Reign upon earth are the Knowledges about It.  The Knowledges will form the ways, will dispose the earth to become Its Kingdom; they will form the cities, will act as telegraphs, as telephone, as postal service, as trumpeters, in order to communicate, city to city, creature to creature, nation to nation, the news, the important knowledges about My Divine Will.  And the knowledges about It will cast into the hearts the hope, the desire to receive a good so great.  

“From here one cannot escape:  a good cannot be wanted nor received if it is not known; and if it were received without knowing it, it is as if it were not received.  Therefore, the foundations, the hope, the certainty of the Kingdom of My Divine Will will be formed by the Knowledges about It.  This is why I have told so many of them—because they will be the Riches, the Nourishment, and the New Suns, the New Heavens, that the peoples of the Kingdom of My Volition will possess.

“Now, when the knowledges about My Fiat will make their way, disposing those who will have the good of knowing them, My more than Paternal Goodness, in order to show the Excess of My Love, will place My very Humanity, all the good I did, in each creature, at her disposal, in a way that they will feel such strength and grace as to let themselves be dominated by My Divine Will.  And My Humanity will be in the midst of the children of My Kingdom, like Heart in their midst, for the decorum and the honor of My Fiat, and as antidote, grace and defense from all the evils that the human will has produced.  The Ardor of My Love that wants It to Reign is such and so great, that I will perform such excesses of Love as to win the most rebellious wills.” …

As I was in my usual state, my sweet Jesus came for just a little and in passing, and He said to me: “My daughter, My love feels an irresistible need for souls who live in My Will to multiply, because they are the places of My quarters. My love wants to do good to all, but sins prevent Me from pouring My Benefits upon them, therefore I keep searching for these quarters; in them I am not prevented from pouring My Graces, and through them, the towns and the people that surround them take part in them. Therefore, the more quarters I have on earth, the greater vent can I give to My Love, and the more it pours itself out into benefits for the good of humanity.”

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little, in the act of ruling and dominating everything, and of reigning with the crown of King on His head and with the scepter of command in His hand.  While I was seeing Him in this position, He told me (though in Latin, but I will say it according to what I understood):  “My daughter, I am the Ruler of kings and the Lord of lords.  To Me alone is this right of justice due, which the creature owes Me; and by not giving it to me, she denies Me as Creator and Master of everything.”  While saying this, He seemed to take the world in His hand and turn it upside down, so that creatures would submit to His Regime and Dominion.  At the same time I could also see how the Lord Ruled and Dominated my soul, with such mastery that I felt all submerged in Him.  From Him came the regime of my mind, of my affections, of my desires; many electric wires passed between me and Him, through which He directed and dominated everything.

…But while my heart was drowned in pains, my sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and taking me in His arms, He placed my arms around His neck, and I abandoned my head upon His breast, in an act which expressed that I could not take it anymore. And Jesus, squeezing me tightly to Himself, leaned His knees on my breast, pressing very intensely, and said to me: “My daughter, you must die continuously.” And while he was saying this, He made me share in various pains. Then, assuming a more affable look, added: “My daughter, what do you fear, if the Power of My Will is in you? It is so true that My Will is in you, that in one instant It transformed you into My Pains, and you offered yourself to receive them with love. While you were suffering, you stretched out your arms to embrace My Will; and as you embraced It, everything that lives in My Will – the Angels, the Saints, My Celestial Mama, and the very Divinity – felt the grip of your embrace, and they all ran toward you to embrace you; and in chorus, they said: ‘How pleasing and dear is the embrace of our little exiled, who lives on earth in order to do the Will of God alone, just as we do it in Heaven! She is our joy; she is the new and only feast which comes to us from the earth.’

“Oh, if you knew what it means for a soul to live in My Will! There is no division between her and Heaven. Wherever My Will is, she is. Her acts, her pains, her words, are in act and operative in every place in which My Will is. And since My Will is everywhere, the soul places herself in the order of creation, and through the electricity of the Supreme Will, she is in communication with all created things. Just as the created things are in order and harmony among themselves, each one is the support of the other, and not one of them can move; and if even one thing created by Me moved – may this never be – the Creation would become all upset; there is a secret accord among them, a mysterious force, such that, while all the spheres live in the space, suspended in the air, without any support, by the power of communication which they have among themselves, each thing sustains the other – in the same way, one who does My Will is in communication with all, and is sustained by all the works of her Creator. Therefore, everyone recognizes her, loves her, and offers her the electricity, the secret, in order to live together with them, suspended between Heaven and earth, all sustained only by the power of the Divine and Supreme Will.”

… Then, this morning, I was praying and lamenting to Jesus for He was not answering me, especially because He does not stop chastising, and I said to Him: “Why pray if You do not want to answer me? On the contrary, You tell me that the evils will get worse.” And He: “My daughter, good is always good. Even more, you must know that each prayer, each reparation, each act of love, any holy thing that the creature does, is one more paradise that she acquires. So, the simplest holy act will be one more paradise; one act less, a paradise less. In fact, every good act comes from God, and therefore in every good act the soul takes God; and since God contains Infinite, Innumerable, Eternal, Immense Joys — so many that the very Blessed will not arrive at enjoying them all throughout all Eternity — it is no wonder, then, that since each good act acquires God, God is almost bound to substitute them with as many contentments. So, if the soul suffers even distractions for love of Me, in Heaven her intelligence will have more light and will enjoy as many more paradises for as many times as she has sacrificed her intelligence; and so much more will she comprehend God. If she suffers coldness for love of Me, so many paradises will she enjoy of the variety of contentments which are present in My Love; if darkness, so many more contentments in My Inaccessible Light; and so with all the rest. This is what one prayer more or one less means.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 2, 1925 Volume 17

I was praying and fusing myself in the Holy Divine Will. I wanted to wander everywhere, up to the Heavens, in order to find that Supreme “I love you” which is not subject to any interruption. I wanted to make it my own, so that I too might have an “I love you” which is never interrupted, and which might echo the Eternal “I love you”; and by possessing the source of the true “I love you” within me, I might have an “I love you” for each one and for all — for each motion, for each act, for each breath, for each heartbeat, and for each “I love you” of my Jesus Himself. And while I seemed to reach the womb of the Eternal One, making Their “I love you” my own, I kept repeating, everywhere and upon each thing, a lullaby of “I love you’s” to my Supreme Lord. Now, while I was doing this, my thought interrupted my “I love you”, telling me: “What are you doing? You could be doing something else! And then, what is your “I love you”? How special could this “I love you” of yours really be?’

And my sweet Jesus, as though moving hurriedly in my interior, told me: “What are you saying? How special is for Me the “I love you” directed to Me?! My daughter, the “I love you” is everything! The “I love you” is love, it is veneration, it is esteem, it is heroism, it is sacrifice, it is trust toward the one to whom it is directed. The “I love you” is to possess the One who encloses the “I love you”. The “I love you” is a little word, but it weighs as much as Eternity! The “I love you” encloses everything, involves everyone; it diffuses itself, it restricts itself, it rises up high, it descend down to the bottom, it impresses itself everywhere, and it never stops.

What, my daughter! How special can your “I love you” really be?! Its origin is eternal. In the “I love you” the Celestial Father generated Me, and in the “I love you” the Holy Spirit proceeded. In the “I love you” the Eternal FIAT made the whole creation, and in the “I love you” It forgave guilty man and redeemed him. Therefore, in the “I love you” the soul finds everything in God, and God finds everything in the soul. This is why the value of the “I love you” is infinite, it is full of life and of energy; it never tires, it surpasses everything and triumphs over everything. And so, this “I love you” directed to Me - I want to see it and hear it on your lips, in your heart, in the flying of your thoughts, in the drops of your blood, in the pains and in the joys, in the food you take – in everything. The life of my “I love you” must be long – long within you, and my FIAT which reigns in you will place on it the seal of the Divine “I love you”.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 1, 1899 Volume 2

This morning my most gentle Jesus, carrying me outside of myself, made me see the corruption into which mankind has decayed. It is horrifying to think about it! While I was in the midst of these people, almost crying, Jesus was saying: “Oh, man, how you have disfigured, deformed, disennobled yourself! Oh, man, I made you so that you might be My living temple, but you have made of yourself the dwelling of the devil. Look, even the plants, by being covered with leaves, flowers and fruits, teach you honesty and the modesty you must have with your body; but you, having lost any modesty and even the natural reserve you should have, have become worse than the animals, so much so, that I have nothing else to which to compare you. You were My image, but now I no longer recognize you; even more, I am so horrified at your impurities, that the mere sight of you nauseates Me, and you yourself force Me to flee from you.”

While Jesus was saying this, I felt tortured with the pain of seeing my beloved Jesus so embittered, so I said to Him: “Lord, You are right that You find nothing good in man any more, and that he has reached such blindness as to no longer be able even to keep to the laws of nature. So, if You want to look at man, You will do nothing but send chastisements; therefore I pray You to keep Your gaze on Your Mercy, and in this way everything will be remedied.” As I was saying this, Jesus told me: “Daughter, give Me a refreshment for My Pains.” In the act of saying this, He removed the crown of thorns, which seemed to be sunken into His adorable Head, and He drove it into mine. I felt most bitter pains, but I was content that Jesus was being refreshed. After this, He told me: “Daughter, I greatly love pure souls, and just as I am forced to flee from the impure, I am drawn by the pure, as by a magnet, to dwell with them. To pure souls I gladly lend My Mouth to let them speak with My own Tongue, therefore they have to make no effort to convert souls. With these souls, I delight not only in continuing My Passion within them, and so continuing Redemption, but what is more, I greatly delight in glorifying My own Virtues in them.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 31, 1906 Volume 7

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for a little, and embracing me wholly, He told me: “My daughter, simplicity is to virtues as condiment to foods. For a simple soul there are neither keys nor doors to enter into Me, nor are there for Me to enter into her, because from all sides she can enter into Me, and I into her. Even more, to better say it, she finds herself in Me without entering because, by her simplicity, she comes to resemble Me, Who am most simple Spirit, and only because I am most simple I am present everywhere and nothing can escape my hand. A simple soul is like the light of the Sun – in spite of any fog, or of the fact that its rays pass through whatever rubbish, it remains always light, it gives light to all, and it never changes. In the same way, a simple soul, no matter what mortification or displeasure she may receive, does not cease to be light for herself and for those who have mortified her. And if she sees evil things, she does not become stained, but remains always light; nor does she change, because simplicity is that virtue which most resembles the Divine Being. Only through this virtue can one participate in the other Divine Qualities, and only in the soul who is simple are there no impediments or obstacles for Divine Grace to enter and to operate. In fact, since both one and the other are light, one light easily unites and transforms into the other.”

But who can say what I comprehended about this simplicity? I feel as though a sea is in my mind, and I am able to manifest but a few little drops of this sea, and those disconnected among themselves.

Deo Gratias.

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 30, 1904 Volume 6

This morning blessed Jesus was not coming, and I, finding myself outside of myself, went round and round in search of my highest and only Good; and not finding Him, my soul felt itself dying at each instant.  But what increased my torment was that while I felt I was dying, I would not die, for if I could die I would reach my intent, to be forever in the center - God.  Oh, separation, how bitter and painful you are!  There is no pain that can be compared to you.  Oh, divine privation, you consume, you pierce, you are a two-edged sword that cuts on one side, and burns on the other.  The pain you give is immense, as immense as is God.  Now, while wandering about, I found myself in Purgatory, and my sorrow and my crying seemed to increase the sorrow of those poor souls deprived of their life, God.  Among them there seemed to be quite a few priests, one of whom seemed to be suffering more than the others; and he said to me:  “My grave sufferings come from the fact that in life I was very attached to family interests, to earthly things, and I had a little attachment to some people.  This produces so much evil for the priest as to form an iron shell, covered with mud, that enwraps him like a garment, and only the fire of Purgatory and the fire of the privation of God - which is such that, compared to it, the first fire disappears - can destroy this shell.  Oh, how much I suffer!  My pains are unutterable.  Pray, pray for me.”  I felt even more tormented and I found myself inside myself.

Later, I saw just the shadow of blessed Jesus, and He told me:  “My daughter, what were you searching for?  For you there are no other reliefs and helps but Me alone.”  He disappeared like a flash, and I was left saying:  “Ah, He Himself tells me this – that He alone is everything for me?  And yet, He has the courage to leave me without - deprived of Him.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 29, 1909 Volume 9

Continuing in my usual state, I said to myself: "Why does the Lord absolutely want that no breath of disturbance enter into me, and that in all things I remain at peace? It seems that nothing pleases Him, be they even great works, heroic virtues, atrocious sufferings… It seems that He sniffs in the soul, and with all those things, if she has no peace, He remains nauseated and displeased with the soul.” At that moment, He made Himself heard, and with dignified and imposing voice, answering my “why,” He told me: “Because peace is Divine Virtue, while the other virtues are human. So, any virtue, if it is not crowned with peace, cannot be called virtue – but vice. This is why I cherish peace so much – because peace is the surest sign that one suffers and works for Me, and it is the heritage I give to My children, of the Eternal Peace they will enjoy with Me in Heaven.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 28, 1906 Volume 7

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for a short time, and as soon as I saw Him, I took Him and clasped Him in my arms - but so tightly, as if I wanted to enclose Him in my heart. At that moment I saw some people around me, saying: “How daring she is, she takes too many liberties, and when one takes liberties, there is not that esteem and respect that one should have.” I felt all ablush in hearing this, but I could not do otherwise; and the Lord said to them: “It can only be said that one loves, esteems and respects an object, when one wants to make it his own; and when one does not want to make it his own, it means that he does not love it, and therefore he has neither esteem nor respect for it. For example: if one wants to know whether someone loves riches, in speaking to him about riches, he holds them in the highest esteem, he respects rich people, for nothing else than because they are rich, and he would want to make all riches his own. If on the other hand he does not love them, in merely hearing one speak about them, he becomes annoyed; and so with all other things. So, rather than blame, she deserves praise; and if she wants to make Me her own, it means that she loves Me, esteems Me and respects Me.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 27, 1901 Volume 4

Since the confessor had raised some doubts, as blessed Jesus came, I saw the confessor with Him, and He was saying to him: “My operating is always leaning on the truth, and even though many times it appears obscure, under enigmas, however, one cannot help saying that it is the truth. And even though the creature does not understand my operating with clarity, this does not destroy the truth; on the contrary, it makes one comprehend much better that it is a Divine way of operating. In fact, since the creature is finite, she cannot embrace and comprehend the infinite; at the most, she can comprehend and embrace a few glimmers. As for example, the many things said by Me in Scripture, and my way of operating in the Saints – has this perhaps been understood with all clarity? Oh, how many things are left obscured and amidst enigma! And yet, how many minds of the erudite and learned have tired themselves in interpreting them? And what have they yet understood? One can say absolutely nothing, compared to what is left to be known. But does this perhaps prejudice the truth? Not at all – on the contrary, it makes it shine more. Therefore, your eye must be kept on whether there is true virtue, and whether, in everything, it can be felt that the truth is present, though sometimes obscured; as for the rest, one must remain tranquil and in holy peace.” Having said this, He disappeared, and I returned inside myself.

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 26, 1926 Volume 19

“… Now, the sun is the image of My Will which, more than sun, shoots its rays to convert those who want to live in Its Kingdom completely into light and love.  These people are the image of the four degrees of the living in my Will.  One can say that the first one does not live in Its Kingdom, but only in the light which, from my Kingdom, the Sun of my Will diffuses to all.  One can say that he is outside of Its boundaries, and if he enjoys a limited light, it is because of the nature of light, which diffuses everywhere.  His nature, his weaknesses and passions form as though a house around him; they form infected and putrid air; and in breathing it, he lives as sickly and without liveliness of strength in doing good.  But in spite of all this, he is resigned; he bears to his best the encounters of life, because the light of my Will, mild as it may be, always brings its good.  The second is the image of one who has entered the first steps of the boundaries of the Kingdom of the Supreme Will.  This one enjoys not only more light, but also the heat, therefore the air he breathes is pure; and in breathing it, he feels passions die within him, he is constant in good, he bears the crosses not only with resignation, but with love.  However, since he is at the first steps of the boundaries, he looks at the earth and feels the weight of the human nature.  On the other hand, the third is the image of one who has advanced into the boundaries of this Kingdom; and Its light is such and so great as to make him forget everything.  He no longer feels anything of himself; good, virtues, crosses, change into his own nature; the light eclipses him, transforms him, and just barely allows him to look from afar at what no longer belongs to him.  The fourth is the happiest, because he is the image of one who not only lives in My Kingdom, but has acquired It. This one undergoes the total consummation in the Supreme Sun of My Will; the eclipse caused by Its Light is so intense, that he himself becomes light and heat, nor can he look at anything else but light and fire; and all things convert for him into light and love.

“Therefore, there will be a difference of degrees in the Kingdom of My Will according to how much creatures will want to take from Its Goods.  But the first degrees will be spurs and paths in order to reach the last one.  For you, then, who must make It known, there is all the necessity to live in the last degree.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 25, 1917 Volume 12

… And Jesus, wanting to cheer me, told me: “My daughter, come into My Will to do what I do. In My Will you will be able to run for the good of all creatures; and by the power of My Volition, you will be able to rescue them from within the blood in which they are swimming, so as to bring them back to Me, washed with their own blood, with the touch of My Will.”

And I: “My Life, I am so bad. How can I do this?” And He: “You must know that the most noble, the most sublime, the greatest and most heroic act is to do My Will, and to operate in My Volition. At this act, which no one else can equal, I display the pomp of all My Love and generosity. As soon as the soul decides to do It - in the act in which the two wills meet to be fused into each other and become one - to give her the honor of keeping her in My Volition, if she is stained, I purify her; if the thorns of human nature envelope her, I shatter them; and if some nail pierces her - that is, sin - I pulverize it, because nothing evil can enter My Will. Even more, all My attributes invest her, turning her weakness into fortitude, ignorance into wisdom, misery into richness, and so with all the rest. Something from herself always remains in other acts, but in these she remains completely stripped of herself, and I fill her completely with Me.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 24, 1922 Volume 14

… While I was seeing this, my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, do you also want to accept the bond with each being, so that there may be no dissimilarity between Me and you?” 

I don’t know how, I felt as if the weight of all were leaning on my shoulders. I saw my unworthiness and weakness, and I felt such repugnance as to feel faint, to the point that blessed Jesus, having compassion for me, took me in His arms and pressed me to His Heart, letting me place my mouth at the opening of the wound that pierced Him, telling me: “Drink, My daughter, the Blood which gushes forth from this wound, that you may receive the strength that you lack. Courage, do not fear, I will be with you. We will share all the weight, the work, the pains and the deaths. This is why I tell you, ‘be attentive and faithful’ — because My Grace wants correspondence; otherwise, it takes nothing to go down. What does it take to open and to close one’s eyes? It takes nothing. Yet, see the great good of keeping them opened, and the great harm of keeping them closed. By keeping them opened, the eyes are filled with light — with the Sun; and with this light the hand can work, the foot can walk safely and without stumbling; one can distinguish objects, whether they are good or bad; one can reorder things, read, write... Now, what does it take to lose all this good? Closing one’s eyes! – and then the hand cannot work, the foot cannot walk, and if it does, it is subject to stumbling; one can no longer distinguish objects; he reduces himself to inability... Such is the correspondence: nothing but opening the eyes of the soul. And as one opens them, light comes to the mind, My Image is reflected in all that she does, copying Me faithfully; in such a way that she does nothing but receive continuous Light from Me, so as to convert all of her being into light. On the other hand, lack of correspondence plunges the soul into darkness, and renders her inactive.”
