…After this, I continued thinking:  “And why has the Lord so much interest, and He loves so much that His Holy Will be known and Reign in the midst of creatures?”  

And my sweet Jesus added:  “My daughter, because the first purpose, act and end of Creation was that Our Divine Will alone Reign; and in order for It to Reign, it is necessary to know It.  It was Our Will that entered the field of action in Creation, that imposed Itself on the ‘nothing’ with Its Creating Fiat, and created heavens, suns and many beautiful works—and also man.  And in all the works It created It placed the Seal of Its Omnipotent Fiat as the indelible sign that It would remain inside each of Its Works as ruling King inside his Kingdom.  

“So, the Purpose of Creation was not Our Power, Our Goodness, Our Justice, Our Immensity, and the like; and if all of these, Our Attributes, concurred in It, it was as consequence, not as Purpose.  And if We do not obtain the Purpose, it is for Us as if We had done nothing; and since all created things were made for man, and man for Us, here is why, by necessity of Love, by right of Justice, for the Honor and Decorum of Ourselves and of all Our Works, and as the fulfillment of Our Purpose, We want Our Divine Will to Reign in man as origin, life and end of his whole being.  

“If you knew how much My Fiat suffers in looking at man; It looks at him, and says in Its sorrow:  ‘I made him, truly, with My creative hands; he is My work, he is truly the one whom I so much delighted in creating.  Yet, I am not inside of him as in My Kingdom; he broke My Seal, and putting Me out, he destroys for Me the purpose for which I gave him life.’  

“See then, how it is of absolute necessity that My Divine Will be known and Reign; and until It does, Our most beautiful works cannot produce for man the goods that they contain; the very work of Redemption is without fulfillment.” …

As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for a little while, and embracing me wholly, He told me: “My beloved daughter, operating for Christ and in Christ makes the human work disappear completely, because by operating in Christ, since Christ is fire, He consumes the human work, and after He has consumed the human work, His fire makes it rise again into a Divine Work. Therefore, operate always together with Me, as if we were both doing the same thing together; if you suffer, suffer as if you were suffering together with Me; if you pray, if you work, do everything in Me and with Me. In this way you will lose the human works completely and will find them again as divine. Oh, how many Immense Riches creatures could acquire, but they do not avail themselves of them.” …

I continue: while I was writing what is written above, I saw my sweet Jesus placing His mouth at the point of my heart, and feeding me the words I was writing. At the same time, I heard a horrible din from afar, as if people were beating each other, and roaring with such clamor as to strike fear. And I, turning to my Jesus, said to Him: “My Jesus, my Love, who is making all this din? They sound like furious demons. What is the matter, that they rage so much?”

And Jesus: “My daughter, it really is them. They would want you not to write about My Will, and when they see you write more important truths on living in My Will, they suffer a double hell and they torment the damned even more. They fear so much that these writings on My Will be manifested because they see that they lose their kingdom upon earth, which they acquired when man, withdrawing from the Divine Will, gave free step to his own human will… Ah, yes, it was exactly then that the enemy acquired his kingdom on earth; and if My Will Reigns upon earth, My enemy, by himself, will shut himself up into the deepest abysses. This is why they wrestle with so much fury: they feel the power of My Will in these writings, and at the mere thought that they may be manifested, they fly into a rage and try anything they can in order to hamper a good so great. You, however, do not pay attention to them, and learn from this to appreciate my teachings.” …

This morning my always adorable Jesus made Himself seen with unspeakable sweetness and affability, as if He wanted to tell me something very dear to Him and very surprising for me. So, hugging me and pressing me to His Heart, He told me: “My beloved daughter, all the things that the soul does in My Will and together with Me — prayers, actions, steps, etc. — acquire My same Qualities, the same Life and the same Value. See, all the things that I did upon earth — prayers, sufferings, works — are all in action, and will remain in Eternity for the good of whoever wants them. My Work differs from the work of the creatures. Containing within Myself the Creative Power, I Speak and I Create, just as one day I spoke and created the sun. It is as if this sun, which is always full of light and heat that never decreases, remained in the act of receiving Continuous Creation from Me. Such was My Work on earth. Since I contain the Creative Power within Me, the Prayers, the Steps, the Works which I did, and the Blood which I shed remain in Continuous Act of praying, working, walking, etc., just as the sun is in continuous act of giving light. Therefore, My Prayers continue, My Steps are always in the Act of running after souls; and so on with the rest. Otherwise, what would be the great difference between My Work and the work of My Saints? 

“Now, My daughter, listen to a beautiful — beautiful thing, not yet understood by creatures: all the things that the soul does together with Me and in My Will are like My own things; and they remain as her own. The connection of My Will and the work done together with Me participate in My same Creative Power.” I remained ecstatic, with a joy that I could not contain, and I said: “Is all this possible, O Jesus?” And He: “Whoever does not understand this can say that he does not know Me.” And He disappeared. But I cannot say it well, and I don’t know how to explain myself better. Who can tell all that He made me understand? Rather, it seems to me that I’ve just said nonsense.

…Then, after this, I was doing my usual acts in the Supreme Will, and since the day was almost dawning, I was saying:  “My Jesus, my Love, the day is now beginning, and in Your Will I want to go around through all creatures, so that, in rising from their sleep, they may all rise in Your Will, to give You the adoration of all intelligences, the love of all hearts, the rising of all their works and of all their beings into the light that this day will make shine over all generations.”  

While I was saying this and other things, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior, and told me:  “My daughter, in My Will there are neither days nor nights, nor dawns nor sunsets, but one is Its day—always in the fullness of Its light.  And one who lives in It can say:  ‘There are no nights for me, but it is always daylight; therefore, one is my day.’  And as she operates in order to do My Will and to carry out her life in It, she forms as many more lights, most refulgent, within the day of her life, that render more glorious and more beautiful the day of My Will in which they live.  

“Do you know for whom day and night, dawn and sunset, are formed?  For one who now does My Will, now her own.  If she does Mine, she forms the day; if she does her own, she forms the night.  One who lives fully in It forms the fullness of the day.  One who does not live fully in It, but does My Will only with strain, forms the dawn.  One who laments about what It disposes and wants to withdraw, forms the sunset.  And for one who does not do My Will at all, it is always perennial nighttime—the beginning of that eternal night of hell that will never end.”

[Luisa writing]

…Oh, holy Hope, how admirable you are! I imagine seeing the soul who is possessed by this beautiful Hope, like a noble wayfarer, who walks in order to go and take possession of a land that will make his whole fortune. But since he is unknown and he journeys through lands which are not his, some deride him, some insult him, some strip him of his clothes, and some reach the point of beating him and even of threatening to kill him. And the noble wayfarer – what does he do in all these trials? Will he be disturbed? Ah, no – never! On the contrary, he will deride those who do all this to him, and knowing with certainty that the more he suffers, the more he will be honored and glorified when he comes to take possession of his land, he himself teases the people into tormenting him more. But he is always tranquil, he enjoys the most perfect peace; and what is more, while in the midst of these insults, he remains so calm, that while the others are all alert around him, he keeps sleeping in the bosom of his longed-for God. Who administers so much peace and so much firmness to this wayfarer in continuing the journey he has undertaken? Certainly Hope in the eternal goods that will be his; and since they are his, he will surpass everything in order to take possession of them. Now, by thinking that they are his own, he comes to love them – and here is how Hope gives rise to Charity. …

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 18, 1924 Volume 17

“…My daughter, the living in My Will is the living that is closest to the blessed of Heaven. It is so distant from one who is simply conformed to My Will and does It, faithfully executing Its orders — as much as Heaven is distant from the earth, as much as the distance between a son and a servant, and between a king and a subject. Moreover, this is a Gift which I want to give in these times, so sad — that they may not only do My Will, but possess It. Am I perhaps not free to give whatever I want, when I want, and to whom I want? Isn’t a master free to say to his servant: ‘Live in my house, eat, take, command as another myself”? And so that nobody may prevent him from possessing his goods, he legitimizes this servant as his own son, and gives him the right to possess. If a rich man can do so, much more can I do it.

“This living in my Will is the Greatest Gift I want to give to the creatures. My Goodness wants to show off more and more love toward creatures, and since I gave them everything, I want to give them the Gift of My Will, so that in possessing It, they may appreciate and love the Great Good they possess.

“And don’t be surprised if you see that they do not understand. In order to understand, they would have to dispose themselves to the greatest of sacrifices – that of not giving life, even in holy things, to their own will. Then would they feel the possession of Mine, and would touch with their own hands what it means to live in My Will. You, however, be attentive, and do not be bothered by the difficulties they raise; little by little I will make My way, to make them understand the living in My Will.”

…Then He [Jesus] added:  “Everyone can share in the merits and in the goods produced by the sorrows of my Mother.  One who, in advance, places herself in the hands of Providence, offering herself to suffer any kind of pains, miseries, illnesses, calumnies, and everything which the Lord will dispose upon her, comes to participate in the first sorrow of the prophecy of Simeon.  One who actually finds herself amid sufferings, and is resigned, clings more tightly to Me and does not offend Me, it is as if she were saving Me from the hands of Herod, keeping Me safe and sound within the Egypt of her heart — and she participates in the second sorrow.  One who feels downhearted, dry and deprived of My Presence, and remains yet firm and faithful to her usual practices — even more, she takes the opportunity to love Me and to search for Me more, without tiring — comes to participate in the merits and goods which my Mother acquired when I was lost.  One who, in any circumstance she encounters, especially in seeing Me gravely offended, despised, trampled upon, tries to repair Me, to compassionate Me, and to pray for the very ones who offend Me – it is as if I encountered in that soul My own Mother who, if She could have done it, would have freed Me from My enemies; and she participates in the fourth sorrow.  One who crucifies her senses for love of My Crucifixion, and tries to copy the virtues of My Crucifixion within herself, participates in the fifth one.  One who is in a continuous attitude of adoring, of kissing My Wounds, of repairing, of thanking etc., in the name of all mankind, it is as if she were holding Me in her arms, just as My Mother held Me when I was deposed from the Cross — and she participates in the sixth sorrow.  One who remains in My Grace and corresponds to it, giving a place to no one else but Me within her heart, it is as if she buried Me in the center of her heart — and she participates in the seventh one.”

…At that moment He said to me: “My daughter, the sheer Truth, naked and simple, is the most powerful magnet to draw hearts and to dispose them to face any sacrifice for love of the truth and of the people who reveal this truth. Who disposed the Martyrs to shed their blood? The Truth. Who gave to many other Saints the strength to conduct a pure and unblemished life in the midst of so many battles? The Truth - and a naked, simple and disinterested Truth. This is why creatures want to come to you. Ah, My daughter, in these sad times, how hard it is to find someone who would manifest this naked Truth, even among the clergy, the religious, and devout people! Their speaking and operating always nurses something human, of interest or other things, and the Truth is manifested as though covered or veiled. So, the person who receives is not touched by the naked Truth, but by the interest or the other human purpose in which the Truth has been wrapped, and he does not receive the Grace and the influence which the Truth contains. This is why so many sacraments, so many confessions, are wasted, profaned and without fruit, even though I do not abstain from giving them light. But they do not listen to Me, because they think to themselves that if they did so, they would lose their prestige, their being well liked, their nature would no longer find satisfaction, and they would go against their own interests. But – oh, how they deceive themselves! In fact, one who leaves everything for love of the Truth will superabound in everything more profusely than others. Therefore, as much as you can, do not neglect to manifest this naked and simple Truth – it is understood, always complying to the obedience of the one who directs you; but as the opportunity arises, manifest the Truth.” …

This morning my adorable Jesus came all glorious, with His Wounds more refulgent than suns, and with a Cross in His hand. In the meantime I also saw a wheel with four sections of it leaning out, while it seemed that another section shunned the light and remained in the dark. In this darkening the people remained as though abandoned by God, and bloody wars would happen against the Church and against themselves. Ah, it seemed that the things said by blessed Jesus in the past are approaching at a fast pace! Now, on seeing all this, moved to compassion, Our Lord drew near the dark part, and He cast the Cross He had in His hand upon it, saying with sonorous voice: “Glory to the Cross!” And it seemed that that Cross would call back the light, and the peoples, stirring themselves, would implore help and aid. Jesus repeated: “All the glory and triumph will be of the Cross, otherwise the remedies will make the very evils worse. Therefore, the Cross, the Cross!” Who can say how afflicted I was left, and concerned for what might happen?

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 14, 1899 Volume 1

“My beloved, the Cross allows one to distinguish the reprobates from the predestined. Just as on the day of judgment, the good will rejoice upon seeing the Cross, so even now it can be seen whether one will be saved or lost. If, as the Cross presents itself to the soul, she embraces it, carries it with resignation and patience, kissing and thanking that hand which is sending it – here is the sign that she is saved. If, on the contrary, as the Cross is presented to her, she gets irritated, despises it, and even reaches the point of offending Me – you can say that that’s a sign that the soul is heading on the way to hell. So will the reprobates do on the day of judgment: upon seeing the Cross, they will grieve and curse. The Cross tells everything; the Cross is a book that, without deception and in clear notes, tells you and allows you to distinguish the saint from the sinner, the perfect from the imperfect, the fervent from the lukewarm. The Cross communicates such light to the soul that, even now, it allows one to distinguish not only the good from the evil, but also those who are to be more or less glorious in Heaven – those who are to occupy a higher or a lower place. All other virtues remain humble and reverent before the virtue of the cross, and grafting themselves to it, they receive greater glory and splendor.”

My bitternesses grow, and I do nothing but lament to my always lovable Jesus, telling Him: “Pity, my Love, pity! Don’t you see how I have reduced myself? I feel that I no longer have life, nor desires, affections or love; all of my interior is as though dead. Ah, Jesus, where in me is the fruit of Your many Teachings?” While I was saying this, I felt my sweet Jesus near me, binding me over and over with strong chains. And He told me: “My daughter, the surest sign and the seal of My Teachings within you is that you feel nothing of your own. And then, isn’t the living in My Will exactly this — to dissolve oneself in Me? How can you go searching for your desires, affections and other things, if you have dissolved them in My Will? My Will is Immense, and it takes too much to find them. And in order to live in Me, it is better to live no longer from your own life; otherwise you show that you are not happy to live from My Life, and to be completely dissolved in Me.”

"…Now, the fulfillment of the Work of Creation was that man would do Our Will in everything. Our Will was to be the Life, the food, the crown of the creature; and since it is not yet so, the Work of Creation is not yet fulfilled, and neither can I rest in It, nor can It rest in Me. It gives Me always something to do, and I yearn for this fulfillment and rest. This is why I love and want so much that the way of Living in My Will be known; nor will I ever be able to say that the Works of Creation and Redemption are fulfilled if I do not have all the acts of the creature extending in My Will like a bed to give Me rest. And I — what beautiful rest shall I not give to her in seeing her coming back on the wings of Our Will with the seal of the fulfillment of Creation? My womb will be her bed.

“Therefore, there is nothing I did, which did not have as Primary Purpose that man take possession of My Will and I of his. This was My Primary Purpose in Creation; the same in Redemption. The Sacraments I instituted, the many graces given to My Saints, have been the seeds, the means, to let man reach this possession of My Will. Therefore, neglect nothing of what I want about My Will, both with writing, and with words, and with works. From this alone you can know that the Living in My Will is the Greatest Thing, the most important, that which interests Me the most: from the so many preparations that have preceded It. And do you want to know where this seed of My Will was sown? In My Humanity. In It, it germinated, was born and grew. This seed can be seen in My Wounds, in My Blood, wanting to be transplanted into the creature, so that she may take possession of My Will and I of hers, and so that the Work of Creation may return to the origin from which It came, not only through My Humanity, but also through the creature herself. 

“They will be few – be it even one alone: was it not one alone, he who withdrawing from My Will disfigured and broke My Plans, and destroyed the Purpose of Creation? In the same way, one alone can adorn It and fulfill Its Purpose. However, My Works never remain isolated; so I will have the army of the souls who will live in My Will, and in them I will have My Creation restored — all beautiful and striking, just as It came out of My Hands. Otherwise, I would not have so much interest in making My Will known.”

I was following all that the Divine Will had done in Creation and Redemption; I would have wanted to leave not one of Its acts without my little act, as Its company and perennial homage of glory and of love for a Will so holy.  

And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, how content I am that you do not leave My Divine Will isolated in Its so many works, done not for Itself, as It had no need of it, but only out of love for the creature.  You must know that as you move from one of Our Works to another in order to recognize Our Love in them, to give Us love and glory, We find the requital to Our Love in the one who recognizes Our Works.  

“How bitter and sorrowful it is to do good out of pure Love, and not to be recognized; and when We find one who recognizes Our Works, We feel as though repaid for what We have done, because We gave Love, and love We receive; and to one who lives and operates in Our Divine Will We give freedom to establish many bonds between Heaven and earth, to open many doors of communication, to place many chains so as to make her acts ascend into Heaven, and make many graces descend for the good of all creatures.  In fact, these works of Ours—that of Creation and that of Redemption—have been done on the face of the earth, and have the virtue of opening Heaven; and in order to have It opened through them, We make use of one who operates in Our Divine Will.”  

And while He was saying this, He showed me many open doors in Heaven, through which many gold chains descended, that bound the earth for as many Works as my sweet Jesus had done.    …

…"Now, My daughter, My Love wants to produce again; and while taken by excesses, it goes out to take respite – it wants to deliver New Births. And just as it operated in My Humanity, enclosing all of Creation in It, so that It might give to the Father everything He wanted from it, and let everything descend for the good of all creatures; so now, binding your will with Mine, I want to enclose all of Creation in you; and letting you take possession of My Will, I want to feel My Acts, My Love, My Pains being repeated in you. I want My Reflector on earth, so that in looking at it, I may see in you, as though in a mirror, the Creation which I created in Heaven and which My Humanity enclosed within Itself; and in reflecting Myself in this mirror, I may recognize Creation in you. We will be in continuous mutual reflections – I will make Creation be reflected in you, and you in Me; I from Heaven, you from the earth. Then will My Love be content – when I see in a creature, not only the image of My Humanity, but all that My Divine Will operated in It. Therefore, be attentive and follow My Will.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 8, 1916 Volume 11

This morning, after Communion, I felt that my lovable Jesus absorbed me completely in His Will in a special way, and I swam inside of It. But who can say what I felt? I have no words to express myself. Then Jesus told me: “My daughter, for as long as the soul is in My Will, so much of Divine Life can she say she lives on earth. How I like it when I see that the soul enters into My Will to live Divine Life in It! I like very much to see souls who repeat in My Will what my Humanity did in It! I received Communion, I received Myself in the Will of the Father, and with this I not only repaired everything, but finding Immensity and All-seeingness of everything and everyone in the Divine Will, I embraced all, I gave Communion to all; and in seeing that many would not take part in the Sacrament and that the Father was offended for they did not want to receive My Life, I gave to the Father the satisfaction and the glory as if all had received Communion, giving to the Father the satisfaction and the glory of a Divine Life for each one. You too – receive Communion in My Will, repeat what I did, and in this way you will not only repair everything, but will give Me to all as I intended to give Myself to all, and will give Me the glory as if all had received Communion. My Heart feels moved in seeing that, unable to give Me anything from her own which is worthy of Me, the creature takes My things, she makes them her own, she imitates the way I did them, and to please Me, she gives them to Me. And I, in My Delight, keep repeating: “Brava, My daughter, you have done exactly what I did.”

Then He added: “The acts in My Will are the simplest acts, but, because they are simple, they communicate themselves to all. The light of the Sun, because it is simple, is light of every eye – yet the Sun is one. One act alone in My Will, like most simple light, diffuses itself in every heart, in every work, in everyone – yet the act is one. My very Being, because It is most Simple, is One Single Act, but an act which contains everything; it has no feet but is the step of all; no eyes, but is the eye and the light of all; it gives life to everything, but with no effort, with no toil, yet it gives the act of operating to all. So, the soul in My Will becomes simple, and together with Me she multiplies in all, and does good to all. Oh, if all comprehended the immense value of the acts, even the littlest, done in My Will – they would let not one act escape them!”

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 7, 1931 Volume 29

… my sweet Jesus told me:  “My daughter, how pleasing it is to My Heart, and how sweet it sounds to My hearing, your tracing everything that My Divine Will has done, in order to recognize it, love it and give it to Us as the most beautiful homage of the Love that We had for creatures, in creating so many things for love of them.  By tracing them, your soul rings the bell to as though roll-call all the works come out of the Divine Fiat, so as to say to Us:  ‘How many beautiful things You have created for me, to give them to me as gifts and pledges of Your Love.  And I, making them my own, give them back to You as gifts and pledges of my love for You.’  So, We feel the palpitating life of the creature in Our works, her little love flowing within Ours, and the purpose of Creation realized.  To know Our works, and the purpose for which they were made, is the point of support of the creature, in which she finds a Divine Will in her power; and it is Our pretext for giving her other surprises of new gifts and graces.”

And I:  “My Love, a thought afflicts me—I fear I may lack the continuation of my acts in Your Divine Will, and as I would interrupt the sound of my bell, You, offended by me, might put me aside, and will not give me any more grace to make me live in Your Will.” 

And Jesus added:  “My daughter, do not fear; you must know that one step gives life to another step, one good is life and support of another good, one act calls to life another act; and even evil, sin, is life of other evils and of other sins.  Things never remain isolated, but almost always have their succession.  Good is like the seed, that possesses the generative virtue; as long as one has the patience to sow it into the bosom of the earth, it will produce ten—twenty times as much.  The same for the creature; if she has patience and remains attentive to enclose in her soul the seed of the good that she has done, she will have the generation, the multiplicity—one hundredfold, of the good acts that she has done.  And if you knew what it means to do a good act!  Each act is a protection that she acquires, and a voice speaking before Our Throne of the one who has done a good.  For each additional act of good, so many more defenders does the creature have for her defense; and if the circumstances of life cause her to find herself in such constraints and trials that it seems that she might want to vacillate and fall, the good acts that she has done take on the appearance of assailers, and they assail Us, so that the one who has loved Us and has had a succession of many good acts may not vacillate; and they run around the creature as supporters, that she may not give up in the trial.  And suppose that there had been a sequence of acts done in Our Will—oh! then in each act there is a Divine Value and Virtue defending the creature.  We see in each of her acts Our Will as though engaged, therefore We Ourselves make Ourselves Defenders and Supporters of she who has given life in her acts to Our Divine Fiat.  Can We perhaps deny anything to Ourselves?  Or disregard Our Will operating in the creature?  No, no.  Therefore, do not fear, but rather, abandon yourself like a little newborn in Our Arms, that you may feel Our Support and the protection of your very acts.  

“Do you think that a repeated, continued good is nothing?  They are Divine Properties that one acquires, they are armies that are formed, that make one conquer the Celestial Fatherland.  It happens to one who has continued many good acts as to someone who has acquired many properties; if he has a setback, it won’t be able to do him much harm, because the many properties will fill the void of the setback that he suffered.  But if someone else has acquired little, or possesses nothing, a little setback is enough to leave him destitute, of the most squalid misery.  Such is to do much good, or little or nothing.  This is why I always repeat to you, be attentive, be faithful to Me, and let your flight in My Will be continuous.” …

This morning, after I struggled very much, I saw Our Lord crucified.  I was kissing the wounds of His hands, and repairing and praying that He would sanctify, perfect, purify all human works for the sake of what He suffered in His most holy hands; and blessed Jesus told me:  “My daughter, the works which most exacerbate My Hands, and which most embitter and enlarge My Wounds, are the good works done without attention.  In fact, lack of attention takes life away from the good work, and things which have no life are always near to rotting; therefore they nauseate Me, and for the human eye a good work done without attention is a greater scandal than sin itself.  In fact, it is known that sin is darkness, and it is no wonder that darkness gives no life; but the good work which is light and gives darkness offends the human eye so much, that it is no longer able to find light, and therefore it finds an obstacle on the path of good.”

As my beloved Jesus came back, I felt almost a fear of not corresponding to the graces that the Lord gives me, as those words which He has said to me before – “At least be grateful” – had remained impressed in me. Seeing me with this fear, He told me: “My daughter, courage, do not fear; love will make up for everything. Besides, since you have set your will of truly doing what I want, even if sometimes you should fail, I will make up for you — therefore, do not fear. Know, however, that true love is ingenious, and true ingenuity reaches everything; more so, when in the soul there is a love that loves, a love that grieves for the pains of the beloved as if they were its own, and a love that reaches the point of taking upon itself the sufferings which the beloved should suffer — which is the most heroic love, and which resembles My own Love, as it is very difficult to find one who lays down his own flesh. So, if in all of yourself there is nothing but love, if you do not satisfy Me in one way you will do it in another. Even more, if you are in possession of these three loves, it will happen to Me as to that person who is insulted, offended with all sorts of outrages by everyone, but among many, there is one who loves him, compassionates him, repays him for all. What does he do? He fixes his eyes on his beloved, and finding his recompense, he forgets all the offenses, and gives favors and graces to the very offenders.”
