Divine Will for every day of the year - April 20, 1938 Volume 36

… After this, I continued my round in all that Our Lord did on earth and I stopped in the Act of Resurrection.  What Triumph, what Glory.  Heaven poured Itself on earth to be spectator of such a great Glory.  My beloved Jesus said: “My daughter, in My Resurrection, the right was given to creatures to Rise Again in Me to New Life.  It was the Confirmation, the Seal of My whole Life, My Works and My Words.  If I came on earth it was to give to each and every one My Resurrection, as their own—to give them Life and make them Rise Again in My own Resurrection.  But do you want to know where is the Real Resurrection of the creature?  Not in the end of her days, but while she is still living on earth.  One who Lives in My Will Rises Again to Light and says: ‘My night is over.’  She Rises Again in the Love of her Creator, so that there is no more cold or snow for her, but the smile of the Heavenly Spring; she Rises Again to Sanctity, that puts in rushed flight all weaknesses, miseries and passions; she Rises Again to all that is Heaven, and if she looks at the earth, Heaven and sun, she does it to find the Works of her Creator—to take the opportunity to narrate to Him His Glory and His long Love Story.  

 “Therefore, one who Lives in My Will can say, as the Angel said to the holy women on the way to the Sepulcher, ‘He is risen.  He is not here any more.’   One who Lives in My Will can also say, ‘My will is not with me any longer—it is Risen Again in the Fiat.’  And if the circumstances of life, opportunities and sufferings surround the creature, as if they were looking for her will, she can answer: ‘My will is Risen Again; it is not in my power anymore.  I possess, in exchange, the Divine Will, and I want to cover with Its Light all things around me—circumstances and sufferings, to make them like many Divine Conquests.’  The soul who Lives in Our Will finds Life in the Acts of her Jesus, and as always, in this Life, she finds Our Operating, Conquering, Triumphant Will.  She gives us so much Glory that Heaven cannot contain it.  Therefore, Live always in Our Will—never leave it, if you want to be Our Triumph and Our Glory.”

Continuing in my usual state, I felt all afflicted, and my always lovable Jesus, in coming, clasped me, and placing His arm around my neck, told me: “My daughter, what is it? Your affliction weighs upon My Heart and pierces Me more than My own pains. Poor daughter, you have compassionated Me many times, and have taken My pains upon yourself; now I want to compassionate you and take your pain Myself.” And He clasped me all to His Heart, and drawing me outside of myself, He added: “Be cheered, My daughter. Come into My Will to be able to better understand and see all that My Humanity did for the good of creatures.” 

I don’t know how to say all that I understood. In many things, I lack the words; I will just say what my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, My Humanity was the only organ which reordered the Harmony between Creator and creature. I did for each soul all that they were supposed to do toward their Creator, not excluding even lost souls, because I was to give to the Father complete Glory, Love and Satisfaction for all created things; with this only difference: the souls who somehow fulfill their duties toward the Creator — almost nobody arrives at satisfying them all — unite their glory to Mine, and everything they do remains as though grafted into Mine; while the lost ones remain as though parched members, and since vital humors are missing in them, they are not fit for receiving any graft of the Good I have done for them, but they are only fit for burning in the Eternal Fire. Therefore, My Humanity restored the lost Harmony between creatures and Creator, and sealed it at the price of blood and unheard-of pains.”

I was following the Holy Divine Volition in the act in which He rose again from the sepulcher, glorious and triumphant; and my lovable Jesus, coming out from within my interior, told me:  “My daughter, by rising again, My Humanity gave to all creatures the right to rise again—not only with their souls, to Glory and to Eternal Beatitude, but also with their bodies.  Sin had taken away from creatures these rights to rise again; My Humanity, by rising again, gave them back to them.  It enclosed the seed of the Resurrection of all, and by virtue of this seed, that was enclosed within Me, everyone received the good of being able to rise again from death.  

“One who does the first act must have such virtue as to enclose within himself all the other acts that the other creatures must do; in such a way that, by virtue of the first act, others may imitate him and do the same act.  How much good did the Resurrection of My Humanity not bring, giving to all the right to rise again?  Because man had withdrawn from My Will, Glory, Happiness, Honors—everything had failed for him.  He had broken the link of connection that, connecting him with God, gave him the rights to all the Goods of his Creator.  And My Humanity, by Rising again, connected this link of union, returning to him the rights he had lost, and giving him the virtue of rising again.  All the Glory, all the Honor, is of My Humanity—had I not risen again, no one could rise.  From the first act come the successions of acts similar to the first.  …”

…I remained so immersed and interwoven within the Light of Jesus that it seemed to me that I would no longer find the way out. How happy I felt, and how many things I understood in that Light! I lack the words to express myself. I just remember that He said to me: “Daughter of my Will, this Light that you see is nothing other than My Will which wants to consume your will in order to give you the shape of Our Image — the Three Divine Persons – in such a way that, transforming you completely into Ourselves, We will leave Our Volition in you as Divine Actor, which matches Us in everything We do. So, Our Images will come out from Ourselves, and Our Will, acting within you, will take as many of them from you. Oh, how the purpose of Creation will be fulfilled!

“The echo of Our Volition will be the echo of Our own Volition possessed by you; the exchanges will be mutual; Love will be reciprocal; we will be in full Harmony, and the creature will disappear within her Creator. Then, nothing else will be lacking to Our joy, to Our Happiness, for which We delivered Creation. The ‘Let Us make man in Our Image and likeness’ will have its effect. Our Will alone, as Actor within the creature, will give completion to everything, and the Creation will bring Us the Divine Purpose, and We will receive It in Our Womb as Our Work, just as We delivered It. …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 16, 1902 Volume 4

This morning my adorable Jesus was not coming. So, not seeing Him come, I said: “What am I still doing in this state, if the object that held me captured does not come any more? It is better if I finish it once and for all.” As I was saying this, my sweet Jesus came for a little while, and told me: “My daughter, everything is in repressing the first motions; if the soul is attentive in this, everything will go well; but if she is not, at the first motions which are not repressed, passions will come out and break the Divine Fortress which surrounds the soul like a hedge in order to keep her well guarded, and to move away from her the enemies which always try to lay traps for her, and to harm the poor soul. However, if as soon as she perceives it, she enters into herself, humiliates herself, repents, and remedies it with courage, the Divine Fortress closes again around the soul; if on the other hand she does not remedy it, the Divine Fortress, broken as it is, will let all vices rush in. Therefore, if you want the Fortress not to leave you alone even for one instant, be attentive to the first motions, thoughts and words which are not upright and holy, because once the first ones have escaped you, it is no longer the soul that reigns, but rather, passions dominate.”

I was dying because of the continuous privations of my sweet Jesus. This morning I found myself completely in Jesus, as if I were swimming in the immensity of my Highest Good. Then, I looked inside myself and I saw Jesus in me. I could hear the whole Being of Jesus speaking: His feet, His hands, His Heart, His mouth — in sum, everything. Not only were they voices, but the wonder is that these voices became immense, multiplying themselves for every creature. The feet of Jesus spoke to the feet and to each step of the creatures; His hands to their works; His eyes to their glances; His thoughts to each one of their thoughts... What harmonies between Creator and creatures! What an enchanting sight! What love! But — alas, all these harmonies were broken by ingratitudes and sins. Love was repaid with offenses. And Jesus, all afflicted, told me: “My daughter, I am the Word, and My Love toward the creature is so great that I multiply Myself into as many voices for as many acts, thoughts, affections, desires, etc. as each creature does, in order to receive from them the return of those acts done for love of Me. I give love and I want love, but I receive offenses instead. I give Life, but if they could, they would give Me death. But in spite of all this, I continue My Loving Office. 

“However, know that the soul who lives united with Me and from My Volition, swimming in My Immensity, becomes one voice together with Me. Therefore, if she walks, her steps speak, pursuing the sinner; her thoughts are voices to the minds; and so on with everything else. Only from these souls do I find My reward, beginning with the work of Creation. And in seeing that, unable to do anything by themselves to correspond to My Love and maintain the harmonies between Myself and them, they enter into My Will, taking ownership and acting in a Divine manner — My Love finds its outpouring and I love them more than all other creatures.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 14, 1923 Volume 15

[Jesus speaking]

“…Now, My daughter, let’s come to My Will.  Do you think it is a Sanctity like the other sanctities?  A good, a grace, almost like the others which I have given for many centuries to the other Saints and to the whole Church?  No, no!  This is about a new era — about a Good which must serve all generations; but it is necessary that I first centralize all this Good in one creature alone, just as I did in Redemption by centralizing everything in My Mama.  Take a look at how things proceed in a parallel way:  in order to make Redemption come and to dispose souls for It, I made the promise of the future Messiah, so that, by hoping for Him to come, they would not only dispose themselves, but find, they too, their own salvation in the future Redeemer.  Now, in order to dispose souls to live in My Will, to let them partake in the goods It contains, and to make man return to the path of his origin, just as he was created by Me, I Myself wanted to pray as the first, making My Voice resound from one end of the earth to another, and even up high in Heaven, saying:  ‘Our Father, who art in Heaven’.  I did not say ‘My Father’, but I called Him Father of the whole human family, so as to engage Him in that which I was going to add:  ‘May all hallow Your Name, so that your Kingdom may come, and your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven’.  This was the Purpose of Creation, and I asked the Father that it be fulfilled.  As I prayed, the Father surrendered to My Supplications, and I formed the seed of a Good so great; and so that this seed might be known, I taught My Prayer to the Apostles, and they transmitted it to the whole Church, so that, just as the people of the future Redeemer found salvation in Him and disposed itself to receive the promised Messiah, in the same way, with this seed formed by Me, the Church might pray and repeat My very Prayer many times, and might dispose Herself to receive the good of recognizing and loving My Celestial Father as their Father, in such a way as to deserve to be loved as children and receive the great Good that My Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.  …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 13, 1922 Volume 14

I was continuing my usual prayers, and my lovable Jesus, surprising me from behind my shoulders, called me by name, telling me: “Luisa, daughter of my Will, do you want to live always in my Will?” 

And I: ‘Yes, O Jesus.’ 

And He: “But is it really true that you want to live in my Will?” 

And I: ‘It is really true, my Love, nor would I adapt myself to live from another will.’ 

And Jesus, again: “Do you say it firmly?”

Now, seeing myself confused, almost fearing, I added: “My Life, Jesus, You make me fear with these questions. Explain Yourself better. I say it firmly, but always helped by You, and in the strength of your Will, which involves me completely, in such a way that I could not do without living in your Volition.” And He, heaving a sigh of relief, repeated: “How happy I am of your triple affirmation! Do not fear, these are nothing but reassurances, reaffirmations and confirmations, so as to impress in you the triple seal of the Will of the Three Divine Persons. You must know that one who lives in my Will must rise up high - but so high as to live in the womb of the Most Holy Trinity. Your life and Ours must be one; therefore it is necessary, it is decorous that you know where you are, and with Whom you are; that you conform to whatever We do, and that, not by force, but willingly, with love and with full knowledge, you live in Our Womb.

Now, do you know what Our Divine Life is? We amuse Ourselves very much in releasing from Us new images of Ourselves. We are in Continuous Act of forming Our Images, so much so, that Heaven and earth are filled with Our images - their shadows flow everywhere. The Sun is Our image, and Its light is the shadow of Ours, which covers all the earth. The heavens are Our Image, which extend everywhere and carry the shadow of Our own Immensity. Man is Our Image, who carries Our Power, Wisdom and Love within himself. So, We do nothing other than continuously produce Our Images, which resemble Us. Now, one who must live in Our Will, living in Our Womb, must form many other copies of Ourselves together with Us; she must be with Us in Our Work; she must let copies and shadows of Us come out of herself, filling the whole earth and Heaven.

Now, in creating the first man, We formed him with Our hands; and breathing over him, We gave him life. Once We made the first, all the others take origin from the first, and are copies of the first. Our Power, flowing through all generations, reproduces his copies. Now, since We constitute you Firstborn Daughter of Our Will, it is necessary that you live with Us in order to form the first copy of the soul who lives in Our Will, so that, as she lives in Us, she may receive Our attitude, and may learn with Our Power to operate according to Our way. Once We have made of you the first copy of the soul who lives in Our Will, more copies will come. 

The road of Our Will is extremely long — it embraces Eternity. And as it seems that one has navigated the way, much remains to do and to receive from Us in order to learn Our Ways, and to form the first copy of the soul who lives in Our Will. This is the greatest work We must do; therefore We must give you much, and it is appropriate to dispose you much, so that you may receive. This is the reason for my repeated questions: it is to dispose you, to enlarge you and elevate you in order to accomplish my designs. I care so much about it, that I would leave everything aside to reach my purpose. Therefore, be attentive and faithful.”

Finding myself in my usual state, I felt an extreme need of Jesus, and of leaning all of myself within Him. And my sweet Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, lean yourself completely within Me. You will find Me always ready — you will never lack Me. Even more, the more you lean within Me, the more I will pour Myself into you. And since many times I feel the need to lean, I will come to you and I will lean within you, using My own Support, which I have formed in you. And when I see that you despise the support of creatures, I will love you twice as much, and I will redouble My Support.”

Then He added: “When the soul does everything to please Me, to love Me and to live at the expense of My Will, she becomes like a member of My Body; and I glory in these members as if they were My own. Otherwise, they would be like members dislocated from Me, which give Me pain — and not only to Me, but to themselves and to their neighbor. These are members which spurt a purulent material, such as to infect and to dry up even the good that they do.”

[Jesus speaking]

“…However, know that I do not want to force you. I have never liked force, so much so, that when I came upon earth and I wanted to go and be born in Bethlehem, I went, yes, knocking at door after door to have a place in which to be born, but I did not force anyone… If I wanted, with My Power, I would have used force to obtain a place less uncomfortable in which to be born, but I did not want to do so. I contented Myself with knocking and asking for shelter, and without insisting, I moved on to knock at other doors. And since no one wanted to receive Me, I was content with going to be born in a cave, in which animals gave Me free access and did their first adorations to their Creator, instead of forcing anyone to let Me enter. However, this refusal cost very much to the people of Bethlehem, because they never again received the good of my soles treading their lands, or of seeing Me in their midst again. I like spontaneous things, not forced; I like that the soul make all that I want her own, as though it were hers and not Mine, and that freely, with love, she give Me what I want. Force is for slaves, for servants, and for those who do not love. This is why I move on from those souls, just as I did with the people of Bethlehem, who were not ready to let Me enter into them and to give Me full freedom to do whatever I wanted with them.” …

Continuing in my usual state, as soon as blessed Jesus came, He told me: “My daughter, the souls who will shine the most, like bright gems in the crown of My Divine Mercy, are the souls who have more trust, because the more trusting they are, the more they give space for the attribute of My Mercy to pour into them all the Graces that they want. On the other hand, the soul who does not have real trust closes the graces within Me, remaining poor and unequipped, while My Love remains contained within Me and suffers greatly.

“In order not to suffer so much, and to be able to freely pour out My Love, I deal more with those souls who trust than with the others. With these souls I can pour out My Love, I can play, I can cause loving contrasts, since there is no worry that they may feel ashamed or afraid; rather, they become more brave and take everything in order to love Me more. Therefore, trusting souls are the outpouring and the amusement of My Love — the most graceful and the richest ones.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 9, 1932 Volume 30

… So, I was feeling immersed in the so many Truths of the Supreme Fiat, and my always Lovable Jesus, visiting His little girl, told me:  “My little daughter of My Volition, you must know that if Our Supreme Being gave to the creature all the heavens, the sun, the earth, the sea, He would not give as much as when He communicates the Truths on the Divine Will.  In fact, all other things would remain outside of the creatures, while the Truth penetrates into the inmost fibers of her soul; and I keep molding the heartbeats, the affections, the desires, the intellect, the memory, the will, to Transform her completely into the Life of the Truth.  And as I go on molding her, I keep repeating the Prodigies of the Creation of Man, and by the touch of My Hands I destroy the seeds of evil, and I make the Seeds of the New Life Rise Again.  The creature feels My Touch and, as I keep molding her, the New Life is then given to her again.  On the other hand, the heavens, the sun, the sea, do not have the Transforming Virtue of making of the creature a heaven, a sun, a sea — all the Good is limited to the outside, and nothing more.  See, then, how many Goods are enclosed in My having Manifested to you so many Truths?  Therefore, be attentive in corresponding to a Good so Great.”

Then, I continued to think about the many Truths on the Divine Will—how many Joys, how many Divine Transformations!  They Themselves have been the Revealers of the Supreme Being; I would never have known my Creator, my Celestial Father, if the Holy Truths had not acted as Messengers, bringing to me the many Beautiful News of His Adorable Majesty. …

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 8, 1918 Volume 12

Returning to the point about living in the Divine Will, I was told that it was like living in the state of union with God; and my always lovable Jesus, in coming, said to me: “My daughter, there is a great difference between living united with Me and living in my Will.” As He was saying this, He stretched His arms toward me and told me: “Come into my Will, even for one instant, and you will see the great difference.”

I found myself in Jesus. My tiny atom was swimming in the Eternal Volition. And since this Eternal Volition is one single Act that contains, altogether, all the acts, past, present and future — since I was in the Eternal Volition, I took part in that single Act which contains all acts, as much as it is possible for creature. I took part also in the acts which do not exist, and which must yet exist, until the end of the centuries, and until God will be God. And for these acts too I loved Him, I thanked Him, I blessed Him, etc. There was no act which escaped me. I took the Love of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and I made it mine, just as their Will was mine; and I gave it to Them as if it were my own. How happy I was to be able to give Them their own Love as though my own! And how They found their full contentment and complete outpouring in receiving their own Love from me, as if It were mine! But who can say everything? I lack the words.

Now, blessed Jesus told me: “Have you seen what living in my Will is? It is to disappear and to enter the sphere of Eternity; it is to penetrate into the Omnipotence of the Eternal One — into the Uncreated Mind, and take part in everything and in each Divine Act, as much as it is possible for a creature. It is to make use, even while on earth, of all the Divine Qualities; it is to hate evil in a Divine Way. It is extending oneself to everyone without exhaustion, because the Will which animates this creature is Divine. It is the Sanctity which is not yet known, which I will make known, and which will place the last ornament, the most beautiful and the brightest among all other sanctities. It will be the Crown and the Fulfillment of all the other sanctities. 

Now, to live united with Me is not to disappear — two beings appear together; but one who does not disappear cannot enter into the sphere of Eternity to take part in all the Divine Acts. Ponder well, and you will see the great difference.”

… I saw my adorable Jesus for a little, in the act of His Resurrection, with His Face so refulgent as to not be comparable to any other splendor. It seemed to me that the Most Holy Humanity of Our Lord, though It was living flesh, was so bright and transparent that one could see with clarity the Divinity united to the Humanity. Now, while I was seeing Him so glorious, a light that came from Him seemed to tell me: “My Humanity received so much glory by means of Perfect Obedience which, destroying the ancient nature completely, gave Me back the New Nature, Glorious and Immortal. In the same way, by means of obedience, the soul can form within her the perfect resurrection to virtues. For example: if the soul is afflicted, obedience will make her rise again to joy; if restless, obedience will make her rise again to peace; if tempted, obedience will administer to her the strongest chain with which to bind the enemy, and will make her rise again victorious over the diabolical snares; if she is besieged by passions and vices, by killing them, obedience will make her rise again to virtues. This, to the soul, and in due time, it will also form the resurrection of the body.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 6, 1922 Volume 14

…Now, in this state I tried to fuse myself in the Holy Will of God, and I said: ‘My Love, in your Will what is Yours is mine; all created things are mine. The Sun is mine, and I give it to You in return, so that all the light and heat of the Sun, each drop of its light and heat, may tell You that I love You, I adore You, I bless You, I pray to You for all. The stars are mine, and in every flickering of the stars I seal my ‘I love You’, infinite and immense, for all. The plants, the flowers, the water, the fire, the air, are mine, and I give them to You in return, that all of them may say to You, in the name of all: “I love You with that same eternal Love with which You created us...” But if I wanted to say everything it would take too long. 

Then Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, how beautiful are the prayers and the acts done in my Will! How the creature is transformed in God the Creator Himself, and gives Him the return for what He has given to her! I created everything for man and I gave everything to him as gift! In my Will the creature rises up to her God and Creator, and finds Him in the act in which He created all things to give them to her as gift; and, trembling before the multiplicity of so many gifts, not having within herself the Creative Power to create as many things for as many as she has received — she offers her own things to requite Him in love. 

"I gave you Sun, stars, flowers, water, fire, air…, to give you Love; and you, grateful, accepted them, and putting My Love in circulation, you gave Me the return for them. So, I gave you Sun, and Sun you gave to Me; I gave you stars, flowers, water…, and you gave them back to Me. The notes of My Love resounded again over all created things, and with one voice they gave Me the Love which I made flow over the whole Creation. In My Will the soul places herself at the level of her Creator, and, in His own Will, she receives and she gives. Oh, what a contest between creature and Creator! If all could see it, they would remain stupefied at seeing that in my Will the soul becomes a little god — but everything by virtue of the Power of My Will.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 5, 1914 Volume 11

Continuing in my usual state, my adorable Jesus made Himself seen inside an immensity of Light, while I was swimming inside this Light, feeling It flowing in my ears, in my eyes, in my mouth - in everything. Jesus told me: “My daughter, if the soul who does my Will works, her work becomes Light; if she speaks, thinks, desires, walks, etc., her words, thoughts, desires and steps all turn into Light — but Light drawn from my Sun. My Will attracts the soul who does My Volition with so much force that it makes her spin continuously around this Light; and as she spins, she takes more Light which keeps her captured within Me.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 4, 1929 Volume 25

My abandonment is in the Holy Volition, that, like powerful magnet, draws me to Itself, to administer to me, sip by sip, Its life, Its light, Its prodigious, admirable and adorable knowledges.  So, my mind was wandering within It, and my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, the first who will do My Divine Will and will live in It, will be like the yeast of Its Kingdom.  The many knowledges that I have manifested to you about My Divine Fiat will be like the flour for the bread, that, in finding the yeast, becomes fermented—as much flour as one puts in.  But the flour is not enough—it takes the yeast and the water in order to form the true bread, to nourish the human generations.  

“In the same way, the yeast of the few who live in My Divine Volition is necessary to Me, as well as the multiplicity of the knowledges about It, that will serve as the mass of light that will give all the goods that are needed in order to nourish and make happy all those who want to live in the Kingdom of My Divine Will.  Therefore, do not worry if you are alone and few are those who know, in part, what regards My Divine Will; as long as the little portion of the yeast is formed, united to Its Knowledges, the rest will come by itself.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 3, 1899 Volume 2

After going through several days of privation and of tears, I found myself all confused and annihilated within myself. In my interior I kept saying, continuously: “Tell Me, O my Good, why have You moved away from me? Where have I offended You, that You no longer make Yourself seen - and if You show Yourself, You are almost concealed, and silent? O please, do not make me wait and wait any longer, for my heart cannot take any more!” 

Finally, Jesus showed Himself a little more clearly, and in seeing me so annihilated, He told me: “If you knew how much I like humility… Humility is the littlest plant that can be found, but its branches are so high as to reach Heaven, wind their way around my throne, and penetrate deep into My Heart. This little plant is humility, and the branches which this plant produces, are confidence; so, there cannot be true humility without confidence. Humility without confidence is false virtue.” From the words of Jesus it shows that my heart was not only annihilated, but also a little discouraged.

I was all afflicted because of the privation of my sweet Jesus, when Jesus came from behind my shoulders; He placed His hand on my mouth, removed the bed sheets which were so close as to prevent me from breathing freely, and then told me: “My daughter, the soul who does My Will is My breath; and since My Breath contains all the breaths of creatures, I administer breath to all from within the soul who does My Will. This is why I moved the bed sheets away; I too felt My breathing hampered.” And I: “Ah, Jesus, what are you talking about? Rather, I feel that You have left me and that You forgot all the promises that You made to me.” And He: “My daughter, don’t say this — you offend Me, and force Me to make you feel what it really means to be left by Me.”

Then He added with an air of sweetness: “One who lives in My Will vividly represents the period of My Life upon earth: on the outside I appeared just as a Man, but at the same time I was also the beloved Son of My dear Father. In the same way, the soul who does My Will has, externally, the skin of humanity; while internally there is My Person, inseparable from the Most Holy Trinity both in Love and in Will — just like Me. So, the Divinity says: ‘This is another daughter that We keep on earth. For love of her, We sustain the earth, because she does everything in Our place.’”

Divine Will every day of the year - April 1, 1922 Volume 14

… Afterwards, I followed the Hours of the Passion, and I followed my sweet Jesus in the act in which He was clothed and treated as a madman. My mind was wandering in this mystery, and Jesus told me: “My daughter, the most humiliating step of My Passion was precisely this: being clothed and treated as a madman. I became the amusement of the Jews — their rag. Greater humiliation My Infinite Wisdom could not bear. Yet, it was necessary that I, Son of God, suffer this pain.

“By sinning, man becomes mad — greater madness there cannot be. And from king as he is, he becomes the slave and the amusement of the most vile passions which tyrannize him and, more than a madman, chain him as they please, casting him into mud, and covering him with the most filthy things. Oh, what great madness sin is! In this state, man could never be admitted before the Supreme Majesty. Therefore I Myself wanted to bear this pain, so humiliating, in order to plead for man that he might leave this state of madness, offering Myself to My Celestial Father to suffer the pains which the madness of man deserved. Each pain I suffered in My Passion was nothing other than the echo of the pains which creatures deserved. That echo boomed over Me, and subjected Me to pains, to scorn, to derisions, to mockeries, and to all torments.”
