Divine Will for every day of the year - November 19, 1921 Volume 13
… Afterwards, I was thinking about what Jesus had told me, and I said to myself: “How can this be put into practice?” And Jesus, returning, added: “My daughter, in order to know the truths, it is necessary to have the will, the desire to know them. Imagine a room in which the shutters are closed: no matter how much sun there may be outside, the room remains always in the dark. Now, opening the shutters means wanting light. But this is not enough, if one does not take advantage of the light to reorder the room, dust it, and put himself to work, so as to not kill the light which is given, and become ungrateful. In the same way, it is not enough to have the will to know the Truths if, at the Light of the Truth which illuminates, one does not try to dust himself of his own weaknesses, reorder himself according to the Light of the Truth he knows, and put himself to work together with the Light of Truth, making of it his own substance, in such a way that the Light of the Truth which he has absorbed may shine through his mouth, through his hands, through his bearing. It would be as if he killed the Truth; and by not putting it into practice, it would be like remaining in total disorder before the Light. Poor room full of light, but all messed up, upside down, in total disorder, with a person in it who does not take the care of reordering it — how pitiful would it not be? Such is one who knows the Truths, and does not put them into practice.
"However, know that simplicity enters into all Truths as the first nourishment. If the Truths were not simple, they would not be Light, and they could not penetrate into human minds to enlighten them; and where there is no light, objects can not be distinguished. Simplicity is not only Light, but it is like the air that one breathes which, though it cannot be seen, gives respiration to all; and if it wasn’t for the air, the earth and everyone would remain without motion. Therefore, if the virtues, the Truths, do not carry the mark of simplicity, they will be without light and without air.”

I was thinking about my poor state, and how even the cross has been banished to me. In my interior, Jesus told me: “My daughter, when two wills are opposed to each other, one forms the cross of the other. So it is between Me and the creatures: when their wills are opposed to Mine, I form their cross and they form Mine. I Am the long bar of the cross, while they are the short one, and crossing each other, they form the cross. Now, when the will of the soul unites with Mine, the bars remain no longer crossed, but united; therefore, the cross is no longer a cross. Have you understood? Furthermore, I sanctified the Cross; it was not the Cross that sanctified Me. The Cross does not sanctify; rather, the resignation to My Will sanctifies the Cross; therefore, even the Cross can do good as long as it is connected with My Will. Not only this; the Cross sanctifies and crucifies part of the person, while My Will does not spare anything; It sanctifies everything, crucifying thoughts, desires, will, affections, heart — everything. Being Light, My Will shows to the soul the necessity of this sanctification and complete crucifixion, in such a way that she, herself, incites Me to accomplish the Crafting of My Will upon her.
“Therefore, the Cross and the other virtues are content as long as they get something; and if they can pierce the creature with three nails, they celebrate triumphantly. Instead, My Will, which does not know how to do incomplete works, is not happy with just three nails, but with as many nails for as many acts of My Will which I dispose for the creature.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - November 17, 1935 Volume 33
I felt myself in the arms of the Divine Will; it seems to me that It waits for me in order to Operate in my little act in order to give me rest in Its Works, and in order for It to also rest.
And my sweet Jesus, surprising me with His brief little visit, told me: “My daughter, as the creature operates in My Will, so her acts take their place in Our Divine Being. Our Goodness is so much, that it has many voids in order to receive into Our Volition all the human acts that possess the Creative Virtue. They come to their Creator all festive and they fill these voids because Our Love has a Beautiful place formed in Us in order to be able to say with deeds: ‘They are Our Acts. What We do, the creature does. What she does in Our Will, nothing remains outside of Us, nor can they remain outside of Us. It would be so if this were possible, as if Our Life were subject to separating—that which cannot be because We not only possess the Inseparability of Our Supreme Being, but of all Our Acts. And for one who Lives in Our Volition, We have places for everything, and We form One Single Act of everything.
“Now, these acts find in Us not only their place of Honor, but Perennial Life and their Rest. And We feel the Happiness, the Joy, that the creature has enclosed in her act by doing it in Our Will. We feel that Our Fiat Loves Us, Glorifies Us, Felicitates Us, Beatifies Us in the act of the creature as We merit. O! how Happy We feel. To feel Happiness in Us is Natural. To feel the Happiness that the creature can give Us, We feel the Exchange of the Work of Creation—and does it seem little to you that We give the Virtue to the creature of being able to Felicitate her Creator? And such and so much is the Joy that We experience, that We abandon Ourselves in the arms of the creature, and clasping her in Ours We Rest in her, and she rests in Us. And then Our Rest is broken when she surprises Us with other acts of hers, in order to enjoy the Happiness that she brings Us. In fact, We do nothing other than pass from Happiness to Rest, from Rest to Happiness. Blessed creature who, Living in Our Divine Will, can Felicitate He who possesses the open Sea of Infinite Joys and Happiness without end.”

My usual state of abandonment in the Supreme Fiat continues, but at the same time I call He who forms all my happiness, my life, my all.
And Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, the more you abandon yourself in the Supreme Volition, the more you advance along Its Ways, the more Knowledges you acquire, and the more you take possession of the goods that are in the Divine Will; because in It there is always something to know and to take. Being the primary Inheritance given by God to the creature and possessing the Eternal Goods, My Will has the task to always give to one who lives in this Inheritance. And only when It finds the creature within the boundaries of Its Volition—then is It content and begins the activity of Its Office; and putting Itself in feast, It gives new things to Its heiress. So, the soul who lives in It is the feast of My Will.
“On the contrary, those who live outside of It are Its sorrow, because they put It in the inability to give, to exercise Its office and to fulfill Its task. More so, since each act of the human will is a veil that the soul puts before her sight, that prevents her from seeing with clarity My Will and the goods contained in It. And since most of the creatures live continuously of their own will, they form so many veils as to become almost blind to knowing and seeing My Will, their choicest Inheritance, that was to render them happy in time and eternity. Oh! if creatures could comprehend the great evil of the human will and the great good of Mine—they would abhor their wills so much, as to lay down their lives in order to do Mine.
“The human will renders man a slave; it causes him to be in need of everything. He feels strength and light missing in him continuously; his existence is always in danger, and whatever he obtains is by dint of prayers, and with difficulty. So, the man who lives of his will is the true beggar. On the other hand, one who lives in Mine has no need of anything; he has everything at his disposal. My Will gives him the dominion of himself, and therefore he is the owner of Strength, of Light—and not of human strength and light, but of Divine.

I was lamenting to my sweet Jesus that He no longer loved me as before, and He, all goodness, told me: “My daughter, not loving one who loves Me is impossible for Me. Rather, I feel so drawn toward her, that at the littlest act of love she does for Me, I respond with Triple Love and I place a Divine Vein in her heart, which administers to her Divine Science, Divine Sanctity and Virtue; and the more the soul loves Me, the more this Divine Vein rises, and watering all the powers of the soul, it diffuses for the good of the other creatures. I have placed this Vein in you, and when you lack My Presence and do not hear My Voice, this Vein will make up for everything, and will be voice for you and for the other creatures.”
Another day, I was fusing all of myself, as usual, in the Will of blessed Jesus, and He said to me: “My daughter, the more you fuse yourself in Me, the more I fuse Myself in you. So, it is on earth that the soul forms her paradise; according to how much she fills herself with holy thoughts, with holy affections, desires, words, works and steps, so does she keep forming her paradise. To one more holy thought or word, one more contentment will correspond, and many varieties of beauty, of contentments, of glory, for as much more good as she has done. What will the surprise of this soul be when, once the prison of her body is broken, immediately she will find herself in the Sea of as many Pleasures and Happinesses, as much Light and Beauty, for as much more good as she has done — be it even a thought!”

I was doing my usual acts in the Divine Volition, and I thought to myself: “If I spent one day without doing these acts, what would be the good I would lose and the evil I would do?”
And my always lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, do you know what you would do? By not doing your acts in My Will, you would lack the reflection of all Creation; and because you would lack its reflection, on that day the heavens would not extend within you, the sun would not rise, the sea would not flow within you, your earth would not let the new flowering bloom, nor would the joy, the music, the singing of the inhabitants of the air, the sweet symphony of the spheres, be heard in you. My Will would not find Its Echo in you, therefore It would feel the Sorrow that, on that day, the little daughter of Its Volition has not given It the requital of a heaven for love of It, because she lacked the reflection of Its Heaven; she has not made the sun rise in return for Its Eternal Light; she has not let It hear the sea flowing, nor its sweet murmuring, nor the darting of the mute inhabitants of the waves.
“My Will would feel all of Its Acts, the reflection of Its Works, missing in you, nor could It form Its Echo in you. And in Its Sorrow, It would say: ‘Ah! today My little daughter has not given me a heaven as I have given to her, nor a sun, a sea, flowers, singing, music and joy, as I have given to her. So, she has gone out of My Likeness; her notes have not harmonized with Mine. I have loved her with many manifestations and with Incessant Love—she did not.’ See what you would do! My Will would not tolerate in you, Its little daughter, the void of Its works.”
On hearing this, I said: “My Jesus, my Love, may it never be that I give this sorrow to Your adorable Will. You will help me—You will give me more Grace, and I will be more attentive in order to receive this reflection, this echo, that Your Holy Will produces in the whole Creation, so that I may correspond with mine.”

After I had received Holy Communion, I thought to myself: “How should I offer It in order to please Jesus?” And He, always kind, told me: “My daughter, if you want to please Me, offer It as My own Humanity did. Before giving Communion to the others, I gave Communion to Myself, and I wanted to do this in order to give to the Father the Complete Glory of all the Communions of creatures, and to enclose within Me all the reparations for all the sacrileges, for all the offenses that My Humanity would receive in the Sacrament. Since I enclosed the Divine Will, I enclosed all the reparations of all times; and since I received Myself, I received Myself worthily. And since all the works of the creatures were Divinized by My Humanity, I wanted to seal the communions of the creatures with My Communion. Otherwise, how could the creature receive a God? It was My Humanity that opened this door to the creatures, giving them merit to receive Me.
“You — My daughter, do it in My Will; unite it to My Humanity. In this way you will enclose everything, and I will find in you the reparations of all, the reward for everything, and My Satisfaction. Even more, I will find in you another Me.”

“… Now, the Sanctity in My Will, symbolized by the Sun, will come out from the center of My own Sanctity; It will be a ray delivered by My Sanctity, which has no beginning. Therefore, these souls existed in My Sanctity; they exist, and will exist. They were together with Me in the good I did; they never went out of the ray in which I had delivered them to the light. Since they never departed from My Will, I amused Myself with them, and I still do. My Union with them is permanent. I see them floating over everything; human supports do not exist for them, just as the sun does not lean on anything — it lives up high as though isolated, but with its light it encloses everything within Itself. The same for these souls: they live up high like the sun, but their light descends to the lowest bottom and extends to all. I would feel as if I defrauded them if I did not keep them aware, and did not let them do what I do. Therefore, there is no good which does not descend from them.
“In this Sanctity I see My Shadows, My Images, flying over the whole earth, in the air and in Heaven. This is why I Love and will Love the world: because I am waiting for My Sanctity to have Its Echo over the earth, and for My Rays to come out to the light, giving Me complete Glory, returning to Me the love and the honor which the others have not given to Me. However, just like the Sun, they will be the most unobserved, without clamor at all. And if anyone will want to look at them, My Jealousy will be such that they will run the risk of remaining blinded, and will be forced to lower their eyes in order to regain their sight. Do you see how beautiful is the Sanctity in My Will? It is the Sanctity closest to your Creator. This is why It will have Primacy over all other sanctities. It will enclose within Itself all other sanctities together, and will be Life of all other sanctities.
“What a grace it is for you to know It! To be the first, like solar ray, to come out from the center of My Sanctity, without ever detaching from It! Greater Grace I could not give you — more portentous miracle I could not operate in you. Be attentive, My daughter, My Ray, because every time you enter into My Will and operate, it happens as when the Sun hits the glass: many suns are formed in it. In the same way, you repeat My Life many times; you multiply It, and give new life to My Love.” …

This morning I felt such compassion for the offenses that Jesus receives and for the many poor creatures who have the misfortune of offending Him that I would face any pain in order to prevent sin. So I prayed and repaired from the heart. At that moment, blessed Jesus came and seemed to carry the same wounds of my heart, but — oh, how much larger! He told me: “My daughter, in delivering the creature, My Divinity remained wounded by My own Love, for love of the creature. This wound made Me come down from Heaven to earth; it made Me cry, shed My Blood, and do all that I did.
"Now, the soul who lives in My Will vividly feels this wound of Mine as if it were her own. She cries, prays and would suffer anything, to save the poor creature, and so that My Wound of Love may not be exacerbated by the offenses of the creatures. Ah, My daughter, these tears, pains, prayers and reparations soothe My Wound and descend upon My Breast, to be shown to My Father and move Him to pity for creatures.
“Therefore, a Divine Vein ascends and descends between Me and these souls; a Vein which keeps consuming their human blood. The more they take part in My Wound and in My own Life, the larger this Vein becomes. It becomes so large as to render them other Christs. And I keep repeating to My Father: ‘I am in Heaven, but there are other Christs on earth, wounded with My own Wound, who cry like me; who suffer, pray etc., like Me; so We must pour our mercy upon the earth...’ Ah, only these who live in My Volition take part in My Wound. They are like Me on earth, and they will be like Me in Heaven, sharing in the same Glory of My Humanity.”

As He continued not to come, I felt immersed in the greatest bitterness; my soul was tortured in a thousand ways. Then I felt as though a shadow near me, and I heard the voice of my adorable Jesus, though I could not see Him, saying to me: “The most perfect love is in the true trust that one must have in the loved object, and even if it should appear that the object one loves is lost — then more than ever is the time to prove this living trust. This is the easiest means to take possession of that which one ardently loves.” Having said this, both shadow and voice disappeared. Who can say the pain I feel for not having seen my beloved Good?

As I was in my usual state, I seemed to see Our Lord extending His arms within me, and playing, with His hands, a little sonata with an organ while being inside of me. Jesus amused Himself in playing. I said to Him: “Oh, how well You amuse Yourself!” And Jesus: “Yes, I do. You must know that since you have done your things together with Me – that is, you have loved Me with My Love, you have adored Me with My Adorations, you have repaired Me with My own Reparations, and so with all the rest – things are immense in you, just as My own, and this union in operating has formed this organ. However, every time you suffer something more, you add one more key, and I immediately come to play My little Sonata, to see what sound this new key produces; and I enjoy one more amusement. Therefore, the more you suffer, the more harmony you add to My organ, and I amuse Myself more.”

Continuing with His usual delays in coming, I was feeling all the weight of His privation, when, all of a sudden, He came and, I don’t know why, He posed me this interrogative: “Would you be able to tell Me why obedience is so glorified, and receives such honor as to imprint the Divine Image in the soul?” All confused, I did not know what to answer, but through an intellectual light which He sent to me, blessed Jesus answered Himself; but since it was through light, not words, I don’t have the terms to express it. However, obedience wants me to try if I can manage to write it. I believe I will say big nonsense, and will write things which do not go together, but I place all my faith in obedience, especially since these are things that regard her directly, and I begin to try:
It seemed He was saying to me: “Obedience is so glorified because she has the virtue of unveiling the human passions from their very roots. She destroys in the soul everything which is earthly and material, and to her great honor she gives back to the soul her original state – that is, the way she was created by God in her original justice, before being cast out of the terrestrial Eden. And in this sublime state, the soul feels strongly drawn to everything that is good; she feels all that is good, holy and perfect as inborn within herself, and greatest horror at even the shadow of evil. With this happy nature, received from the most experienced hand of obedience, the soul no longer finds difficulty in executing the commands received; more so, since the one who commands must always command what is good. And here is how obedience knows how to imprint well the Divine Image; not only this, but she changes the human nature into Divine, because just as God is Good, Holy and Most Perfect, and tends to all that is good and greatly hates evil, so does obedience have the virtue of Divinizing the human nature, and of making it acquire the Divine Qualities. And the more the soul lets herself be handled by this most experienced hand, the more of the Divine she acquires, destroying her own being. This is why she is so glorified and honored; so much so, that I Myself submitted to her and was honored and glorified by this; and through her I gave back honor and glory to all my children, which they had lost because of disobedience.” …

… My sweet Jesus, surprising me with His little visit, all Goodness and Tenderness told me: “My daughter, I too feel the Love-need of making you see the Order that these Truths will have and the Good they will produce.
“These Truths on My Divine Will will form the Day of My Fiat in the midst of the creatures. According to their knowledge, this day will be rising. So, as they begin to know the first Truths that I have Manifested to you, a Most Splendid Dawn will arise—provided that they will have good will and the disposition to make their own life of these Truths. However, these Truths will also have the virtue of disposing the creatures, and of giving the Light to many blind who don’t know My Will or love It.
“Then, once the Dawn is risen, they will feel invested by a Celestial Peace, and more strengthened in the Good. They, themselves, will yearn to know more Truths, which will form the beginning of the Day of My Divine Will. This beginning of the Day will increase the Light and the Love; all things will turn into Good for the creatures; passions will lose the power to make them fall into sin. One can say that they will feel the first Order of the Divine Good, which will facilitate their actions for them. They will feel a Strength with which they can do everything, since its Primary Virtue is exactly this: to inject in the soul a Transformation of her nature in Good. So, feeling the Great Good of the beginning of the Day, they will long for the Day to advance. They will then know more Truths that will form the Full Day.
“In this Full Day they will vividly feel the Life of My Will within themselves—Its Joy and Happiness, Its Operative and Creative Virtue within them. They will feel the possession of My very Life, becoming the bearers of My Divine Will. The Full Day will provoke in them so much yearning to know more Truths that, once known, they will form the Full Afternoon. In this, the creature will no longer feel alone: between her and My Will there will be no more separation. What My Will will do, she will do as well—Operating together. All will be her own by right—Heaven, earth, and God Himself. …”

As I continued the usual Hours of the Passion, my adorable Jesus told me: “My daughter, the world is in continuous act of renewing My Passion; and since My Immensity envelops everything, inside and outside the creatures, I am forced to receive from their contact nails, thorns, scourges, scorns, spits, and all the rest which I suffered in the Passion — and still more. Now, at the contact with souls who do these Hours of My Passion I feel the nails being removed, the thorns shattered, the wounds soothed, the spits taken away. I feel compensated by good for the evil that others do to Me. Feeling that their contact does not do harm to Me, but good, I lean more and more on them.”
Furthermore, returning to speak about these Hours of the Passion, blessed Jesus said: “My daughter, know that by doing these Hours the soul takes My Thoughts and makes them her own; she takes My Reparations, My Prayers, Desires, Affections, and even My most Intimate Fibers and makes them her own. So, rising up between Heaven and earth, she does My same Office, and as co-redemptrix, she says to Me: ‘Ecce ego, mitte me [Here I am, send me]. I want to repair for all, answer to You for all, and plead good for all.’”

“…Do not let your love stop; go through all the Tabernacles, through each Sacramental Host, and in each Host you will hear the Holy Spirit Moan with unutterable Sorrow. The Sacrament of the Eucharist is not only their own life that souls receive, but is My very Life that gives Itself to them. So, the fruit of this Sacrament is to form My Life in them, and each Communion serves to make My Life grow, to develop It, in such a way that one may be able to say: ‘I am another Christ.’ But, alas! how few take advantage of it. Even more, how many times I descend into hearts and they make Me find the weapons to wound Me, and repeat for Me the tragedy of My Passion. And as the Sacramental Species are consumed, instead of pressing Me to stay with them, I am forced to leave bathed with Tears, crying over My Sacramental Lot; and I find no one who calms My Crying and My Sorrowful Moans. If you could break those veils of the Host, which cover Me, you would find Me bathed with Crying, knowing the lot that awaits Me in descending into hearts. Therefore, let your requital of love for each Host be continuous, in order to calm My Crying, and to render less sorrowful the Moans of the Holy Spirit. …”

Having received Communion, I was saying to my adorable Jesus: ‘I am now tightly united with You – even more, I am identified with You. If we are one single thing, I leave my being in You, and I take Yours. So I leave You my mind, and I take Yours; I leave You my eyes, my mouth, my heart, my hands, my steps… Oh! how happy I will be from now on! I will think with Your Mind, I will look with Your Eyes, I will speak with Your Mouth, I will love with Your Heart, I will work with Your Hands, I will walk with Your Feet… And if something comes to me, I will say: “I left my being in Jesus and I took His own – go to Jesus, and He will answer you for me. Oh, how blissful I feel! Ah yes, I take from You also Your Beatitude, isn’t it true, Jesus? But, my Life and my Good, with Your Beatitude You render all Heaven blissful, while if I take Your Beatitude I make no one blissful.” And Jesus told me: “My daughter, you too, by taking all of My Being along with My Beatitude, can make others blissful. Why has My Being the virtue of Beatifying? Because everything is harmony in Me, one virtue harmonizes with the other: Justice with Mercy, Sanctity with Beauty, Wisdom with Strength, Immensity with Depth and Height, and so with all the rest. Everything is Harmony in Me – nothing is discordant. These Harmonies make Me blissful and I beatify all those who draw near Me. So, as you take My Being, be careful that all virtues harmonize among themselves; and this Harmony will communicate Beatitude to whomever draws near you, because in seeing goodness, sweetness, patience, charity and equality in everything in you, they will feel blissful being near you.”

… And my beloved Jesus, returning to His little and poor ignorant daughter, with an Indescribable Love, told me: “Daughter of My Volition, listen to Me, pay attention to Me. I want to tell you the Most Beautiful Act, the most Tender and of Intense Love, of My Fiat. Now, you must know that all acts, thoughts, words—past, present and future—are all present before the Supreme Being. In fact the creature did not yet exist in time, and her acts shone before Us. And why is this? Because the First Act of the creature My Fiat does. There is no thought, word, work, that My Fiat does not begin. It can be said that first it is formed in God, with all His Acts, and then We put it forth to the light of day. Now the creature, by doing her will, withdraws from the Divine Acts, but she cannot destroy that the life of her acts had the Fiat for Beginning. Everything was Its property, that acting as Arbitrator It had changed human acts into Divine. But if man disowns who has given life to his acts, My Volition does not disown his acts.
“Therefore, listen to the Greatest Excess of the Love of My Volition. As the creature decides with immutable firmness to want to Live of My Will, letting It Reign and Dominate in her, Our Infinite Goodness is so much, Our Love that does not know how to resist a true decision of the creature—more so because It does not want to see acts dissimilar from Ours in her—listen to what It does. It covers everything that she has done up to then with My Will. It molds them, It Transforms them into Its Light in a way that everyone sees, with the Prodigy of Its Transforming Love, that everything is Its Will in the creature. And with Love all Divine, It continues to form Its Life and Its Acts in the creature. Is this not an Excessive and Amazing Love of My Volition? And together with this, of letting everyone decide, even the most ungrateful, of letting My Will Live in them, knowing that It wants to set everything aside, and cover and supply for what is lacking of My Will in them?
“This also absolutely says that Our Will wants to Reign in the midst of creatures, that It does not want to pay attention to anything, nor to what is lacking in them, wanting to give to them not as pay that It goes finding out if it is merited or not, but as Gratuitous Gift of Our Great Liberality, and as Completion of Our own Will. And the Completing of Our Will is everything for Us.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - November 2, 1912 Volume 11
Continuing in my affliction, I was saying to myself: “I no longer recognize myself! Sweet Life of mine, where are You? What should I do to find you again? Without You, my Love, I cannot find the Beauty that embellishes me, the Fortitude that strengthens me, the Life that vivifies me. I lack everything — everything is death for me. Without You, life itself is more harrowing than any death. Ah, it is a continual death! Come, O Jesus, I cannot take it any more! Oh Supreme Light, come — don’t make me wait any more! You let me feel the touch of Your Hands and then, as I try to grab You, You run away from me. You let me see Your Shadow, and as I try to look at the Majesty in the Shadow — the Beauty of my Sun Jesus — I lose both shadow and Sun. Please, mercy! My heart is shredded, lacerated into pieces — I cannot live any more. Ah, if I could at least die!”
As I was saying this, my always adorable Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, I am here, inside of you. If you want to recognize yourself, come into Me, to recognize yourself inside of Me. If you come to recognize yourself in Me, you will put yourself in order, because in Me you will find your image, made by Me and similar to Me. You will find everything that is needed to preserve and embellish this image. As you come to recognize yourself in Me, you will also recognize your neighbor in Me; and in seeing how I love you and the other, you will rise to the degree of True Divine Love. Everything, inside and outside of you, will take on the True Order - Divine order.
“But if you want to recognize yourself inside of yourself, first, you won’t really recognize yourself because you will lack Divine Light; second, you will find all things in disorder, clashing with themselves: misery, weakness, darkness, passions, and all the rest. You will find all these things in disorder, inside and outside of yourself, trying to make war not only with you, but also with themselves to see which one can hurt you the most. And you — imagine in what order they will put your neighbor toward yourself.
“Not only do I want you to recognize yourself in Me but, if you want to remember yourself, you must come and do it in Me; otherwise, if you try to remember yourself without Me, you will do more harm than good.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - November 1, 1910 Volume 9
Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: “My daughter, the supreme unity is when the soul reaches such tightness of union with My Will as to consume any shadow of her own will, in such a way that it is no longer possible to discern which one is My Will and which one is hers. Then My Will becomes the life of this soul, in such a way that whatever thing It may dispose over her as well as over others, she is content with everything. Anything seems to be suitable for her; death, life, cross, poverty, etc. – she looks at all of these as her own things, which serve to maintain her life. She reaches such an extent, that not even chastisements frighten her any more, but she is content with the Divine Will in everything, so much so, that it seems to her that if I want something, she wants it too; and if she wants it, the Lord does it. I do what she wants, and she does what I want.
“This is the final breath of the consummation of your will in Mine which I have asked of you many times, and which obedience and charity toward the neighbor have not conceded you; so much so, that many times I have surrendered to you by not chastising, but you have not surrendered to Me, to the point that I am forced to hide from you in order to be free when Justice forces Me and men reach the point of provoking Me to take up the scourge in My Hand and chastise the peoples. If I had you with Me, with My Will in the act of scourging, I would probably have fallen short and diminished the scourge, because there is no greater power in Heaven and on earth than a soul who is totally and completely consumed in My Will. She reaches the point of debilitating Me, and she disarms Me as she pleases. This is the Supreme Unity. Then, there is the low unity in which the soul is resigned, yes, but she does not look at My Dispositions as her own things — as her own life, nor does she delight in My Will, or dissolve hers in Mine. This one I look at, yes, but she does not reach the point of enamoring Me, nor do I reach the point of going mad for her, as I do for those of the Supreme Unity.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 31, 1937 Volume 35
… After this, I felt a little suffering, and I was coughing loudly. At every fit of coughing I asked that the Divine Will might come to Reign upon earth. And my sweet Jesus, all Tenderness, squeezed me tightly in His arms, telling me: “My daughter, I knew that you would have asked for My Will at every fit of your coughing, and I felt My Heart being wounded—bursting of Love. I felt as if I were receiving, in your coughing, My Immensity, that wrapped Me and asked Me for My Will; for My Power and Infinity, that made everybody ask for My Will to Reign; to the extent that I Myself was forced to say: ‘My Will, come to Reign. Do not delay any longer!’ I feel such violence that I just do and say what the creature does and says.
“I want you to ask for My Will in your sufferings, in the food you eat, in the water you drink, in the work you do—in sleep. I want you to commit your breath and heartbeat to ask that My Will may Come and Reign. In this way, everything will be an opportunity for you to ask for My Will—even the sun that fills your eyes, the wind that blows upon you, the sky that lays over your head.... Everything must be an occasion for you to ask me for My Will to Reign in the midst of the creatures. By doing this, you will place many pledges in My Hands—the first of which being the whole of your being, so that you won’t even move without asking for My Will to be known and desired by all.”
