Divine Will for every day of the year - August 5, 1904 Volume 6

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.”

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.”

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.” 

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 23, 1923 Volume 16

I was abandoning all of myself in the Holy Divine Will according to my usual way, and my sweet Jesus made Himself seen coming toward me in order to receive me in His Most Holy Will; and He told me: “My daughter, My Will is in continuous encounter with the will of the creature; and as the human will encounters Mine, it receives the Light, the Sanctity, the Strength, which My Will contains. My Will is in continuous act of giving Itself to the creature in order to give her the life of Heaven in advance. If she receives Me, she remains with this Celestial Life; but if in every act she does, she does not receive this Supreme Volition, which is all intent, for her good, on making her happy, strong, holy, Divine, and as though transformed into a dawn of Celestial Light, she remains with her human will alone, which renders her weak, miserable, muddy, and surrounds her with passions so vile as to move to pity. 

“Don’t you see how many souls drag themselves because of their weakness in being unable to conquer themselves to do good? Others, which are unable to dominate themselves; others, inconstant like reeds in the wind; others, unable to pray without a thousand distractions; others, always discontent; and others, who seem to be born to do evil. These are all souls who do not encounter my Will in all their things. Yet, My Will is for all; but since they run away from It, they do not receive the good which My Will contains. This is a just pain for those who want to live involving themselves in all miseries.

“However, this Will of Mine, which they did not want to encounter during their life, to receive as many goods for as many times as they would meet It, they will encounter It at their death, receiving as many pains for as many times as they escaped It, because by escaping It, they have become guilty, stained and covered with mud. So it is right that they receive a pain; and as many painful encounters form for them, for as many times as they did not encounter My Will upon earth. But these painful encounters will be without merits, without new gains, as it would have happened, had they encountered It during their life… Oh, how many moans of sorrows come from the prisons of Purgatory, how many shouts of desperation can be heard from hell, because my Will was not encountered upon earth!

“Therefore, My daughter, may your first act be to encounter My Will; may your first thought and heartbeat be to encounter the Eternal Heartbeat of My Will, that you may receive all My Love.

"Try to make continuous encounters in everything, that you may be transformed in My Will and I in yours, in order to dispose you to make the last encounter with My Will at your last hour. In this way, you will have no painful encounters after your death.”

I was feeling annoyed for being unable to make certain mortifications, as it seemed to me that the Lord abhorred me, and therefore He would not permit me to do them.  And blessed Jesus came and told me:  “My daughter, one who really loves Me never gets annoyed about anything, but tries to convert all things into love.  For what reason did you want to mortify yourself?  Certainly for love of Me.  And I say to you:  ‘For love of Me mortify yourself, and for love of Me take the reliefs; and both one and the other will have the same weight before Me.’  The weight of any action, be it even an indifferent one, increases according to the dose of love it contains, because I do not look at the work, but at the intensity of love that the working contains.  Therefore I want no annoyance in you, but always peace; because in annoyances, in disturbances, it is always the love of self that wants to come out to reign, or the enemy to do harm.”

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

…And my lovable Jesus, placing His holy hands under my shoulders to as though take me in His arms, told me:  “My daughter, how heavy you have become—don’t you know that oppression weighs the soul down, and if I want to take you in My arms I have to make an effort to lift you?  On the other hand, My Will empties the weight of nature, and Its Light, removing the gloom of what is human, renders her light—light and capable of any sacrifice; and giving her the wings of Love, It gives to the soul the first qualities of the Celestial Fatherland, that knows neither oppression nor darkness, but daylight without sunset and joy that never ends.  

“And besides, what would you say if you heard the sun say:  ‘Everything is over—I am no longer sun, because my Creator does not constantly add more light for me.’  

“You, I believe, would answer the sun:  ‘I see you always sun, because your Maker has taken nothing away from you of the light He gave you.  At the most, if He kept adding light, you would have been stronger and more refulgent in your light.’  

“So do I answer you:  ‘You are always sun, because the Sun of My Will and of the knowledges about It, more than light, reigns in you.’  Neither I nor anyone else can snatch from you a single one of the many knowledges that you possess about My Eternal Fiat.  

“And only because I do not constantly add more about It, as if what I have told you were nothing, you say:  ‘Everything is over,’ as if this Sun were extinguished in you?  It takes too much, My daughter, to extinguish this Sun of My Will, nor will you yourself be able to escape Its eternal rays that, invading your soul, eclipse from you everything that does not belong to this Sun.  Therefore, follow Its light and wait with patience for new light to come and be added, so as to render the Sun of My Will more refulgent in you.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 20, 1905 Volume 6

This morning I was praying for a priest who was infirm, who had been my director, and I was thinking to myself:  “Had he continued my direction, would he be infirm or not?”  And blessed Jesus, on coming, told me:  “My daughter, who enjoys the goods that are present inside a house?  Certainly those who are in it; and even though someone has been there before, only those who are currently in it can enjoy them.  For example, as long as a servant remains with his master, the master pays him and allows him to enjoy the goods which are in his house; and when he goes away, he calls another one, pays him and lets him share in his goods.  So I do; when something is wanted by Me and is left by someone, I transmit it to someone else, giving him everything which was destined for the other.  So, had he continued your direction, given your state of victim, he would have enjoyed the goods pertaining to the state of the one who currently guides you, therefore he would not have been infirm.  And if the current guide, in spite of his health, does not obtain everything else he wants, it is because he does not do fully what I want, and even though he enjoys some goods, yet, certain charisms of mine he does not deserve.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 19, 1912 Volume 11

This morning, as I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, I feel your breath and I feel refreshed by it. By just being close to you, your breath gives Me refreshment; even when others talk about the things that you said for their own good, I feel your breath through them and I am pleased. So, My Relief is repeated, and I say: ‘Even through others, My daughter sends Me her refreshment, because if she hadn’t been attentive in listening to Me, she could not have done any good for others. Therefore, she is still the one who sends Me this good.’ So, I love you even more and I feel compelled to come and converse with you.”

Then He added: “True love must stand alone. When it leans on something else — even a holy thing or a spiritual person — it gives Me nausea and, instead of content, I feel embittered and bothered. Only when love is alone can I take control and do with the soul whatever I want. This is the nature of True Love. But when it does not stand alone, one thing can be done, something else cannot. It is a hindered command, which does not give full freedom; therefore, love feels uncomfortable and constrained.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 18, 1926 Volume 19

[Jesus speaking]

“… Now, had I wanted to manifest the Kingdom of my Will, either when I came upon earth or before the goods of Redemption would be recognized and, for the most part, possessed by creatures, my greatest Saints would have been frightened; all would have thought and said:  ‘Adam, innocent and holy, was unable to live nor to persevere in this Kingdom of endless Light and of Divine Sanctity – how can we do it?’  And you yourself – how many times have you not become frightened?  And trembling before the immense goods and the Sanctity, fully Divine, of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat, you wanted to draw back, saying to Me:  ‘Jesus, think of some other creature – I am incapable of this.’  You were not so much frightened by the suffering; rather, many times you prayed Me - you incited Me to let you suffer.  Therefore My more than paternal Goodness acted with you as with a second Mother of mine:  from Her I hid My Conception in Her womb; first I prepared Her, I formed Her, so as not to frighten Her; and when the appropriate time came, in the very act in which I was to be conceived, then I made it known to Her through the Angel; and even though at first She trembled and was troubled, immediately She became serene again, because She was used to living with Her God, in the midst of His Light and before His Sanctity.  So I have done with you:  for many years and years I hid from you that I wanted to form this Supreme Kingdom in you; I prepared you, I formed you, I enclosed Myself in you, in the depth of your soul in order to form It; and when everything was done, I manifested the secret to you, I spoke to you about your special mission, I asked you in a formal way whether you wanted to accept living in My Will; and even though you trembled and feared, I reassured you, saying to you:  ‘Why do you trouble yourself?  Have you perhaps not lived with Me until now in the Kingdom of My Will?’  And you, serene again, would make more of a practice of the living in It, and I would delight in expanding ever more the boundaries of My Kingdom; because it is established up to what point the creature must take possession of this Kingdom, since Its boundaries are endless, and the creature is incapable of embracing them all, because she is limited.”

And I:  “My love, yet, My fears have not completely ceased, and many times I am so frightened that I fear I might act like a second Adam.”  And Jesus:  “My daughter, do not fear, you have more help than Adam did — you have the help of a Humanate God, and all His works and pains as your defense, as your support, as your cortege, which he did not have.  Why, then, do you want to fear?  Rather, be attentive to the sanctity that befits the living in this Celestial Kingdom, and on your happiness and fortune, because by living in It, one Gaze of Mine is enough for you – it is enough for you to hear one of My Words alone to comprehend Its Goods; while for those who are outside, one can say that they understand only that the Kingdom of My Will exists, but as for what is inside of It, what it takes to comprehend It, they can just barely understand the alphabet of My Will.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 17, 1907 Volume 8

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: “My daughter, the true sign to know whether the soul lives in My Will, is that everything that happens to her, every circumstance, takes place in peace, because My Will is so Perfect and Holy that It cannot produce even the shadow of disturbance. So, if in contrasts, mortifications or bitternesses she feels disturbed, she cannot say that she is inside My Will. If she feels resigned and also disturbed, she can say, at most, that she is in the shadow of My Will; in fact, while being outside of It, she is free to feel her own self – but not inside.”
