Divine Will for every day of the year - June 24, 1934 Volume 33

“… Now, My daughter, do you know who receives Our Heartbeat of created things, Our Aim, the Knowledges, and gives Us her heartbeat, her exchange of love?  One who Lives in Our Will.  As the creature enters into It, with Its Wings of Light as arms It presses her to Its Bosom, and since she possesses Its Incessant Act It says:  ‘Look at Me, how I am operating, rather let us do it together so that you know what I do, My distinct Love from one created thing to the other, and you receive all these degrees of My Ardent Love in a way as to cover yourself and let yourself be drowned by Love, but so much so, that you will not know how to tell Me anything but that you Love Me, you Love Me, you Love Me.  If you do not know you will not be capable of receiving the Fullness of Love, nor enjoy the fruits of Our Works.  

“Now I want to tell you another Surprise.  As the creature enters into Our Will, not only of what We have done in Creation, in Redemption, in everything, does she remain enriched in an admirable way with the Works of her Creator, but she gives Us New Glory, as if Our Works were being repeated again.  Everything that We have done passes through the channel of the creature, in which it is Our Will that this would happen, and We feel repeated to Us, in virtue of It, the Glory as if We were to extend a New Heaven, We were to Operate a New Creation.  And as We feel her come into Our Volition, We welcome her, and overflowing with New Love We tell her:  ‘Come, touch with your hand what We have done.  Our Works are Living for you, not dead, and by knowing them you will repeat the New Glory and the New Exchange of Love.’  …”

But while my mind wandered by going around in the created things, my Highest Good, Jesus, told me:  “My daughter, all Creation manifests the Divine Paternity, the Power, the Love, the Harmony of He who created It.  But do you know of whom do We feel Ourselves Father?  Of one who remembers and recognizes all Creation as property of her Creator, who, wanting to manifest His Paternity toward the creatures, created so many beautiful things for love of them.  So, one who recognizes them in order to requite Him by loving Him and thanking Him, draws closer around her Celestial Father as a daughter who recognizes His Goods, and that, if He created them, it means that He wants His daughter to possess His Possessions within the Possessions of her Father.  If you knew what Our Joy and Happiness is in feeling Ourselves Father, and in seeing Our children close around Us by means of Our created things.  So, the creature, by remembering and recognizing what God has done for her, loves Us as her Father, as We love her as Our daughter; We feel that Our Paternity is not a sterile Paternity, but fecund.  In the same way, with one who remembers and recognizes what I did and suffered in My Life and Passion, I feel Myself Redeemer, and I give her to possess the goods of Redemption.  So, My Pains, My Works, My Steps, line up around the happy creature in order to help her, sanctify her, and make her feel, within herself, the effects of all My Life.  And with one who recognizes what Our Love has done and can do in the order of Grace, I feel Myself passionate Lover, and I give her the possession of My Love, in such a way that she will feel such love for Me as to be unable to live without loving Me.  And since true love is in always doing My Will, I make of her a prodigy of My Love and of My Will. …

“Therefore, be attentive; recognize Our Goods, Our Works, and you will feel Our Paternity in the heavens, studded with stars that, in their meek twinkling, call you daughter and attest to you the love of your Father.  Our Paternity extends in the sun that, with its vibrant light, calls you daughter and says to you:  ‘Recognize in My Light the great Gift of your Father, who loves you so much, that He wants you to be the possessor of this Light.’  Our Paternity extends everywhere:  in the water you drink, in the food you take, in the varieties of the beauties of all nature.  They have a common voice, all calling you daughter of the Great Celestial Father, and, as a daughter of His, they want to be possessed by you.  Now, what would be Our Contentment if, in all things created by Us, at Our tender voice calling you daughter, We heard your voice calling Us Father, and saying to Us:  ‘This is a gift of my Father.  Oh! how He loves me—and I want to love Him very, very much.’”

I was bringing the whole human family to my sweet Jesus, according to my usual way, praying, repairing, substituting in the name of all, for everything that each one is obliged to do. But as I was doing this, a thought told me: “Think about and pray for yourself — don’t you see in what a pitiful state you have reduced yourself?” And I was almost about to do so, when my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior and pulling me to Himself, told me: “My daughter, why do you want to move away from My likeness? I never thought about Myself — the Sanctity of My Humanity was total unselfishness. I did nothing for Myself; rather, I did and suffered everything for the creatures. My Love can be called true, because it is founded on disinterest for My own self. Wherever there is interest, one cannot say that there a source of truth. On the other hand, the soul with no self-interest is the one who advances the most; and as she advances, the Sea of My Grace reaches her from behind, inundating her in such a way that she remains completely submerged, without even thinking about it. One who thinks about herself, instead, is last; the sea of My Grace is in front of her, and she is the one who has to cross the sea by the armful — if she manages at all. In fact, the thought of herself will create many obstacles for her, such as to strike into her the fear of diving into My Sea; and she runs the risk of remaining on the shore.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 21, 1923 Volume 15

I was doing my usual adoration to my Crucified Good, and I was saying to Him:  “I enter into Your Will; or rather, give me your hand and place me in the Immensity of Your Will Yourself, that I may do nothing which is not the effect of your Most Holy Will.”  Now, while I was saying this, I thought to myself:  “How is this? The Divine Will is everywhere, I am already in It, and yet I say:  I enter into Your Will?”  But while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, yet, there is a great difference between one who prays and acts because My Will envelops her, being everywhere by Its own nature, and one who, of her own will, having the knowledge of what she does within herself, enters into the Divine Sphere of My Will to operate and pray.  

“Do you know what happens?  It happens as when the sun fills the earth with its light, though the light and the heat are not the same at all points:  at some points there is shade, at other points there is direct light and the heat is more intense.  Now, who enjoys more light, who feels more heat:  one who is in the shade, or one who is at those points where the light is not covered by shade?  However, one cannot say that where there is shade there is no light, although where there is no shade the light is more vivid, the heat is more intense; even more, the rays of the sun seem to invest and absorb the creature.  And if the sun had reason, and one creature exposed herself of her own will to its burning rays, and in the name of all said to it:  ‘Thank you, O sun, for your light and for all the goods you produce by filling the earth; for all, I want to give you the return of the good you do’ - what glory, honor and satisfaction would the sun not receive? 

“Now, it is true that My Will is everywhere, but the shade of the human will does not allow the soul to feel the vividness of the light, the heat, and all the good It contains.  On the other hand, by wanting to enter into My Will, the soul lays down her own and removes the shade of her volition, and My Will makes Its vivid Light shine, It invests her, It transforms her into Light itself.  And the soul, plunged into My Eternal Volition, says to Me:  ‘Thank You, O Holy Supreme Volition, for your light and for all the goods You produce by filling Heaven and earth with Your Eternal Will; for all, I want to give You the return of the good You do.’  And I feel such honor, glory and satisfaction, that no other equals it.  My daughter, how many evils the shade of one’s own will does:  it cools down the soul, it produces sloth, sleep, sluggishness.  The opposite for one who lives in My Will.” …

[Jesus speaking]…“As for the rest, I do not want you to think about it, because the most perfect, the most sublime humility is that of losing every reason and of not discoursing on ‘why’ and ‘how’, but of undoing oneself in one’s own nothingness.  And while the soul does this, without realizing it, she finds herself dissolved in God, and this produces in the soul the union most intimate, the love most perfect toward her highest Good.  This, however, to the greatest advantage of the soul, because in losing her own reason, she acquires Divine Reason, and in losing every discoursing about herself – whether she is cold or warm, whether the things that happen to her are favorable or adverse – she will be interested in and will acquire a language fully Celestial and Divine.  In addition to this, humility produces a garment of safety in the soul, in such a way that, wrapped in this garment of safety, the soul remains in the most profound calm, embellishing all of herself in order to be pleasing to her dearest and beloved Jesus.” …

Continuing in my usual state, I felt submerged in the Supreme Will of my sweet Jesus. It seemed to me that every little act of mine done in the Divine Will made New Contentments come out from the Divine Majesty; and my lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, I possess such Contentments, Happiness and Beatitudes that I could give ever New Joys and Beatitudes in every instant. So, every time the soul operates in My Will, she gives Me the field to release New Beatitudes and New Contentments which I possess. And since My Will is Immense and invades everyone and everything, as they come out, they flow over the soul who is operating in My Will, as the Primary Cause for which My Beatitudes are being released, and then they circulate in everyone, both in Heaven and on earth. Therefore, as many times as you operate in My Will, so many more Beatitudes and Joys do you make Me release, and I feel the contentment of sharing the Joys I possess.

“My Will wants to release what It possesses, but It keeps looking for one who would give It the occasion, one who is disposed to receive, one who prepares a little place in her soul in which to place these New Contentments of Mine. Now, by wanting to do My Will, the soul opens the doors of My Volition, and emptying herself of her own volition, she prepares a little place for Me in which to place My Goods. And as she enters into My Will to operate, she gives Me the occasion to release New Beatitudes from Myself. Therefore, I anxiously await that the soul come to operate in My Eternal Volition, in order to unleash a New Joy from Myself, and make Myself known as the God Who is never exhausted, and Who always has something to give to one who does My Will.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 18, 1923 Volume 15

…My mind wandered amid so many Divine Prodigies, and my always lovable Jesus told me:  “Beloved daughter of My Supreme Volition, My Will contains everything, It preserves all of the Divine Works as though in Act, and It lets nothing escape It; and to one who lives in It, It wants to make known the Goods It contains.  Therefore, I want to make known to you the reason for which I wanted to receive Myself when I instituted the Most Holy Sacrament.  

“The Prodigy was great and incomprehensible to the human mind.  For the creature to receive a Man and God, to enclose the infinite in a finite being, and to give to this Infinite Being Divine Honors, Decorum and a Dwelling worthy of Him – this mystery was so abstruse and incomprehensible, that the Apostles themselves, while they easily believed in the Incarnation and in many other mysteries, remained troubled before this one, and their intellects were reluctant to believe.  And it took My repeated saying for them to surrender.  So, what to do?  I, who instituted it, was to take care of everything, since, when the creature would receive Me, the Divinity was not to lack Honors, Divine Decorum and a Dwelling worthy of God.  Therefore, My daughter, as I instituted the Most Holy Sacrament, My Eternal Will, united to My human will, made present to Me all the hosts which were to receive the Sacramental Consecration until the end of centuries.  And I looked at them, one by one; I consumed them, and I saw My Sacramental Life palpitating in each Host, yearning to give Itself to creatures.  In the name of the whole human family, My Humanity took on the commitment for all, and gave a dwelling within Itself to each Host; and My Divinity, which was inseparable from Me, surrounded each Sacramental Host with Divine Honors, Praises and Blessings, to give worthy Decorum to My Majesty.  So, each Sacramental Host was deposited in Me, and contains the Dwelling of My Humanity and the cortege of the Honors of My Divinity; otherwise, how could I descend into the creature?  And it was only because of this that I tolerated sacrileges, coldness, irreverences, ingratitudes, since, in receiving Myself, I secured My own Decorum, the Honors and the Dwelling which befitted My very Person.  Had I not received Myself, I could not have descended into creatures, and they would have lacked the way, the door, the means to receive Me. 

“This is My usual way in all My Works:  I do them once in order to give life to all the other times in which they are repeated, uniting them to the First Act as if they were one single act.  So, the Power, the Immensity, the All-seeingness of My Will made Me embrace all centuries; It made present to Me the communicants and all Sacramental Hosts; and I received Myself as many times, so that, through Myself, I might pass into each creature.  Who has ever thought of so much Love of Mine?  That in order to descend into the hearts of creatures, I was to receive Myself so as to secure the Divine Rights and be able to give them, not only Myself, but the very acts I did in receiving Myself, to dispose them and almost to give them the right to receive Me?” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 17, 1915 Volume 11

Finding myself in my usual state, I was lamenting with Jesus, telling Him: “My Life, Jesus, everything is ended. At the most, what is left to me is nothing other than your flashes and shadows…" And Jesus, interrupting my saying, told me: “My daughter, everything must end in My Will. Once the soul has done this, she has done everything. If she had done much without enclosing it in My Will, one can say that she has done nothing. I take into account all that ends in My Will, since My own Life is in It, as if bound. So, it is just that I take into account even the most tiny things, even trifles, as My own things, because I feel that each tiny act the creature does united with My Will, she takes from Me first, and then she performs it. Therefore, all My Sanctity, My Power, My Wisdom, My Love and all that I am are included in her tiniest act. In that act done with My Will, I feel the repetition of My Life, My Works, My Word, My Thought and so on. So, if your things ended up in My Will, what else would you want? 

“All things have only one final point. The Sun has that of invading all the earth with Its light. The farmer sows, hoes, works the earth; he suffers from cold and heat. However, that is not his final point, which is, rather, to reap the fruits and make of them his own food. The same thing for many other things which, many as they are, resolve into one single point — and this point constitutes the life of man. The soul must make everything end in the single point of My Will. It will be her Life and I will make of It My food.”

Then He added: “In these sad times, you and I will go through a very painful period — things will rage more. However, know that if I take My Cross of wood away from you, I give you the Cross of My Will, which has no length and no width — it is interminable. I could not give you a more noble Cross. It is not made of wood, but of Light; and in this Light, which burns more than any fire, we will suffer together in every creature, in their agonies and in their tortures. We will try to be the life of all.”

… Then He [Jesus] told me: “My daughter, when I give to the soul the bitterness of tribulations, if the soul conforms to My Will, is grateful to Me, thanks Me for it and offers it to Me as a gift, for her it is bitterness, it is suffering, but for Me it changes into sweetness and refreshment. But what cheers Me the most and gives Me the most pleasure is to see that the soul, whether she operates or suffers, is all intent on pleasing Me alone, with no other end or purpose of recompense. However, what renders the soul more dear, more beautiful, more lovable, more intimate with the Divine Being, is her perseverance in this way of behaving, which renders her immutable with the immutable God. In fact, if today she does something and tomorrow she doesn’t; if one time she has one end and another time another; if today she tries to please God and tomorrow creatures, she is the image of one who today is queen and tomorrow a most miserable servant; today she nourishes herself with delicious foods, tomorrow with filth.” …

As I was in my usual state, my adorable Jesus transported me outside of myself, and told me; “My daughter, all virtues can be said to be My Qualities and My Attributes, but Love cannot be called an attribute of Mine, but rather, My very Nature. So, all virtues form My Throne and My Qualities, but Love forms My very Self.” On hearing this, I remembered that the day before I had told a person who feared about the uncertainty of salvation, that one who truly loves Jesus Christ can be sure of being saved. To me, I believe it is impossible that Our Lord would move away from Himself a soul who loves Him with all her heart; therefore, let us think of loving Him, and we will have our salvation in hand. So I asked loving Jesus whether by saying this I had spoken incorrectly, and He added: “My beloved, you said that with reason, because love has this of its own: it forms one object out of two, one will out of two. So, the soul who loves Me forms one single thing with Me, one single will; how can she then be separated from Me? More so, since My Nature is Love, and wherever It finds a few sparks of love in the human nature, immediately It unites them to the Eternal Love. Therefore, just as it is impossible to form two souls out of one soul, or two bodies out of one body, so is it impossible for one who truly loves Me to become lost.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 14, 1929 Volume 26

“… My daughter, how many unforgettable things there are in this Eden.  Here Our Fiat created man, and made such Display of Love, that It poured Itself in torrents upon him; so much so, that We still feel the sweet murmuring with which We poured Ourselves over him.  Here began the Life of Our Fiat in the creature, and the sweet and dear memory of the acts of the first man done in It.  These acts exist still now in Our Volition, and are as though pledges for him to be reborn in order to have the Kingdom of Our Fiat again.  

“In this Eden there is the sorrowful memory of the fall of man, the exit he made from Our Kingdom.  We still hear his steps when he went out of Our Divine Fiat; and since this Eden had been given to him so that he would live in It, We were forced to put him out, and We had the sorrow of seeing the work dearest to Us without his Kingdom, wandering and sorrowful.  Our only relief were the pledges of his acts, that had remained in Our Will; these called for the rights of humanity to enter again the place from which it had gone out.  

“This is why I await you in Eden to receive your small interest, to renew what We did in the Creation, and to receive the return for a Love so Great, not understood by creatures, and to find a loving pretext to give the Kingdom of Our Divine Will.  Therefore, I want this Eden to be dear to you as well, that you may pray Us and press Us that the beginning of Creation, the life of Our Fiat, may return into the midst of the human family.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 13, 1901 Volume 4

After a long silence on the part of my adorable Jesus – at the most, a few things about the scourges He wants to pour – this morning, as I was oppressed and tired because of my hard position, especially because of the continuous privations to which I am often subjected, I saw Him for short instants, and He told me: “My daughter, crosses and tribulations are the bread of Eternal Beatitude.” I comprehended that as we suffer more, more abundant and more enjoyable will be the Bread that will nourish us in the Celestial Dwelling; that is, the more we suffer, the greater the deposit we receive of the future Glory.

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 12, 1913 Volume 11

While I was praying, I was uniting my mind to the mind of Jesus, my eyes to those of Jesus, and so forth with everything else, with the intention of doing what Jesus did with His Mind, with His Eyes, with His Mouth, with His Heart, and so forth. And as it seemed that the Mind of Jesus, His Eyes, etc. were spreading themselves for the good of all, it also seemed that I too was spreading myself for the good of all, uniting and identifying myself with Jesus. 

Now, I was thinking to myself: “What kind of meditation is this? What prayer? Ah, I am no longer good at anything! I am not even able to reflect on something!” While I was thinking of this, my always adorable Jesus told me: “My daughter, what? Are you afflicting yourself with this? Instead of troubling yourself you should be happy, because when you were meditating at other times, and many beautiful reflections arose within your mind, you did nothing other than take part in Me, in My qualities and in My virtues. Now, since the only thing left to you is the opportunity of uniting and identifying yourself with Me, you take everything from Me. Unable to do any good by yourself, with Me you become good at everything, because desiring and wanting good produce strength in the soul which makes her grow, and which settles her in the Divine Life. Then, by uniting and identifying herself with Me, she unites with My Mind, producing many lives of holy thoughts in the minds of the creatures; as she unites with My Eyes, she produces many lives of holy glances in the creatures. In the same way, if she unites with My Mouth, she will give life to the words; if she unites to My Heart, My Desires, My Hands, My Steps, she will give a life for every heartbeat — life to desires, to actions, to steps... But holy lives, since I contain within Me Creative Power, and therefore the soul, together with Me, creates and does whatever I do. 

“Now, this union with Me — part to part, mind to mind, heart to heart, etc. — produces in you, in the highest degree, the Life of my Will and of my Love. The Father is formed in this Will, and the Holy Spirit in this Love; while the Son is formed by the Operation, the Words, the Works, the Thoughts, and by all the rest that can come from this Will and from this Love — here is the Trinity in the souls. …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 11, 1925 Volume 17

… Now, while my mind was wandering in the Eternal Will, my sweet Jesus, squeezing me to Himself, with sensible voice, told me: “My daughter, there is nothing which can equal the great evil of not doing My Will. There is no good which can equal doing It. There is no virtue which can stand before It. The good which is lost by not doing My Will is irreparable in itself; and only by returning again to It can one find remedy, and the goods which Our Will had established to give to the creature can be given back to her. In vain do creatures delude themselves in doing other works, virtues, sacrifices. If these are not a birth from My Will, and if they are not made in order to fulfill It, they are not recognized by Me; more so, since it is established that grace, aids, light, goods, and the just reward, will be given to those who operate in order to fulfill My Will. Moreover, My Will is Eternal — It has no beginning and will have no end; and so who can calculate an act done in My Will, which has no beginning and no end? That which My Will is, such It renders the act. On the other hand, the other virtues, the works and sacrifices without My Will, have a beginning, as well as en end. What great reward can things subject to perish ever receive? …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 10, 1904 Volume 6

Continuing in my usual state, my adorable Jesus came for just a little, all sad and sorrowful, and He told me:  “Ah, My daughter, if man knew himself, oh! how careful he would be not to become stained.  In fact, his beauty, his nobility, his strikingness are such and so great that he encompasses all the beauties and varieties of created things within himself.  And this, because all other things of nature had been created to serve man, and man was to be superior to all of them; so, in order to be superior, he had to encompass all the qualities of the other created things within himself.  Not only this, but since the other things had been created for man, and man for God alone and for His Delight, as a consequence he was not only to encompass all creation within himself, but he was to surpass it to the point of receiving the image of the Supreme Majesty within himself.  But in spite of all this, heedless of all these goods, man does nothing but dirty himself with the ugliest filth.”  And He disappeared.

I understood that it happens to us as to a poor woman, who received a garment woven with gold and enriched with gems and precious pearls.  But since she knows little about these things and does not know their value, she keeps the garment exposed to dust; she easily lets it get dirty with mud, and she holds it as she would a rough and inexpensive dress; so much so, that if it is taken away from her, she suffers little or no displeasure.  Such is our blindness with regard to ourselves.

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 9, 1929 Volume 26

… Now, while I was in this state, my sweet Jesus told me:  “My daughter, each breath is the life of the next one that follows; so much so, that as one is about to release one breath, before it is emitted completely, it calls for another breath.  So, it can be said that the breath has its life and gives life to the creature because it is continuous; they are so united and close among themselves as to be inseparable.  And so also for the beating of the heart:  one heartbeat calls for the life of the next heartbeat, and the continuous beating forms the life; so much so, that if the breathing and the beating cease, life no longer exists.  

“Such is the soul who does and lives in My Divine Will; her identification, her closeness with It, is such and so great—more than are breaths and heartbeats close among themselves.  Therefore, the acts done in My Divine Fiat are like many breaths or heartbeats that the creature does in God, in such a way that she becomes the Divine breathing, and My Fiat forms her breathing; so, it is life that they mutually exchange, to form one single life.  Therefore, the acts done in Our Divine Will are inseparable from Us, and We feel the contentment of breathing Our work, and of feeling, as Our own, the work that has come out of Us, and of letting her live in Our house—and so close to Us as to breathe her very breath.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 8, 1927 Volume 22

I was following the Divine Will in Its acts, in everything It had done in the order of the whole Creation, from the beginning of the world up to the present.  But while I was doing this, I thought to myself:  “What is past is not in my power, therefore it seems a waste of time to me to go on tracing what has passed.”  

At that moment, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior, telling me:  “My daughter, for one who does My Will and lives in It, all times and all places are hers.  My Supreme Will loses nothing of what It does, and with Its own Unique Power, It does the act and It preserves it within Itself, intact and beautiful, just as It did it.  So, one who lives in My Supreme Will finds in It the order of all Its Acts, as if It were doing them at that very instant; and the soul, uniting herself with It, does what My Volition is doing.

“This is all the Delight, the Satisfaction, the Glory of My Will—that while Its Acts are Eternal, the littleness of the creature who lives in It takes Eternity in her power, and finding the Acts of her Creator as though in Act, she repeats with Him, she loves, she glorifies the endlessness of the Acts of He who created her, and so a contest of works, a contest of love and of glory is formed between them. Therefore, the times of Creation are at her disposal, as well as the place of the terrestrial Eden; she has the times of My Incarnation, of My Passion, and Bethlehem, Nazareth and Calvary are not far from her.  Past, distance, do not exist for her, but everything is present and near. …

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 7, 1917 Volume 12

Finding myself in my usual state, I was lamenting to my sweet Jesus because of His privations, and I said to Him: “What a bitter separation! Separated from You — everything is over. I have remained as the most unhappy creature that can exist.” And Jesus, interrupting me, told me: “My daughter, what separation are you talking about? Only then is the soul separated from Me, when she lets enter into herself something that does not belong to Me. Therefore, I enter into the soul, and if I find her will, her desires, her affections, her thoughts, her heart – everything as My own, I absorb her in Me, and I keep melting her will with Mine, with the Fire of My Love, making them one. I melt her desires with Mine, her affections and thoughts with Mine; and once I have formed one single liquid, I pour it over My whole Humanity like a Celestial Dew, which is made of as many drops of Dew for as many offenses as I receive – and they kiss Me, love Me, repair Me, and balm My Embittered Wounds. And since I am in the act of doing good to all, this dew descends for the good of all creatures. 

“But if I find something extraneous in the soul, which does not belong to Me, I cannot melt what is hers into mine, because Love alone has the virtue of melting and becoming one. Only similar things can mix together and have the same value. Therefore, if there is iron, thorns or stones in the soul - how can they melt? And then there are separations, unhappinesses. 

“So, if nothing has entered into your heart, how can I separate from you?”

Continuing in my usual state, He made Himself seen for a little from within my interior - first Himself alone, and then all Three Divine Persons, but They were all in profound silence.  I continued my usual interior work in Their Presence, and it seemed that the Son would unite with me and I would do nothing but follow Him.  But everything was silence, and in this silence I would do nothing but identify myself with God, and my whole interior, my affections, heartbeats, desires, breaths, would become profound adorations to the Supreme Majesty.  Then, after spending some time in this state, it seemed that all Three of Them were speaking, though one single voice was formed, and They said to me:  “Our beloved daughter, courage, fidelity and greatest attention in following what the Divinity Operates in you, because everything you do, it is not you who does it, for you do nothing other than give the Divinity your soul as residence.  It happens to you as to a poor woman who had a little hovel, and the king asks for it as his residence, and she gives it to him and does everything the king wants.  So, since the king resides in that little hovel, it contains riches, nobility, glory and all goods.  But to whom do they belong?  To the king; and if the king wants to leave, what remains to the poor one?  She is left always with her poverty.”

“… Therefore, it is useless to hope for friends when the poor creature finds herself under the nightmare of humiliations, scorns and calumnies.  So, one must make friends when Heaven smiles at us and fortune would want to put us on a throne, if we want that the good, the works that are wanted, may have life and continuation in other creatures.  By My making friends when I was sowing miracles and triumphs—such that they reached the point of believing that I was to be their King on earth, and therefore, having been My disciples, they were to occupy the first places before Me—even though they abandoned Me in My Passion, when My Resurrection sounded My full Triumph, the Apostles changed their mind, they reunited among themselves and, as triumphers, they followed My Doctrine, My Life, and formed the nascent Church.  Had I paid attention to the fact that they would run away from Me, not making them My disciples in the time of My Triumphs, I would not have had anyone who would speak of Me after My death, who would make Me known.  Therefore, the good times, the glory, are necessary, and it is also necessary to receive piercing nails and to have patience in suffering them, in order to have the materials in My greatest Works, so that they may have life in the midst of creatures. …”
