Divine Will for every day of the year - September 3, 1919 Volume 12

I was lamenting to my sweet Jesus about my poor state, and how I have remained like a useless being who does no good. So, what’s the purpose of my life? And my lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, the purpose of your life is known to Me, and it is not up to you to investigate it. However, know that just fusing yourself in Me every day, and many times a day, serves to maintain the balance of all the reparations, because only one who enters into Me and takes from Me the origin of everything she does, can balance the reparations of everyone and everything. She can balance the Glory of the Father on the part of creatures, because an Eternal Beginning and an Eternal Will are within Me, and therefore I was able to balance everything: satisfaction, reparation and complete Glory to the Celestial Father on the part of all. 

“Therefore, as you enter into Me, you come to renew the balance of all the reparations and of the Glory of the Eternal Majesty. Do you think this is trivial? Don’t you yourself feel that you cannot do without it, and that I do not leave you before I see you fusing yourself in each one of My Members, in order to receive from you the balance of all reparations, as you substitute yourself in the name of the whole human family? Try to repair Me for everything as much as you can. If you knew how much good the world receives when a soul, without a shadow of personal interest, but only for love of Me, rises between Heaven and earth and, united with Me, balances the reparations of all!””

… And after I prayed Him over and over again, He said to me: “My daughter, I keep you always on My knees, and so tightly as to give you no time to think about yourself. I hold you like a father holds his little child on his knees: he gives him now a kiss, now a caress; now he feeds him with his own hands, and now, if inadvertently the little child gets dirty, the father himself takes care of cleaning him. 

“Now, if the father shows himself afflicted, the little one consoles him and dries his tears; if he shows himself irritated, the little one calms him. In sum, the father is the life of the little one and does not let him have the slightest thought about himself – whether he needs to eat, whether he gets dirty, whether he needs to clothe himself, and not even whether he needs to sleep, because, forming a cradle with his arms, he rocks him to make him fall asleep, and lets him sleep on his own lap. And the little one is all the relief and the life of the father, while the other grown-up children take care of reordering the house, of cleaning themselves by themselves, and of all the other affairs. So I do with you: I keep you on My knees like a little daughter, and so intimately united with Me as to not let you feel yourself. I think and take care of all of you – cleaning you if you are stained, feeding you if you need food; in sum, I anticipate you in everything, in such a way that you yourself do not perceive your needs. And by holding you intimately tight to Me, it is a grace that I give you, because you escape many, many defects, while if you had the thought of yourself – oh, into how many defects you would fall! Therefore, think of doing your office of little daughter toward Me, and have no thought for anything else.”

Since He was still not coming, I kept saying:  ‘My good Jesus, do not make me wait so long.  This morning I don’t feel like getting upset and looking for You so much, to the point of tiring myself.  Come once and for all, quickly quickly – as simple as that.’  And in seeing that He was not coming, I kept saying:  ‘It shows that You want me to get tired and even reach the point of getting upset; otherwise You do not come.’

While I was saying this and other nonsense, He came and told me:  “Would you be able to tell Me what it is that maintains the correspondence between the soul and God?”  And I, but always through a light that came from Him, said:  “Prayer.”  And Jesus, approving of my answer, added:  “But what is it that draws God to intimate conversation with the soul?”  I did not know what to answer,  but immediately the light moved in my intellect, and I said:  “If vocal prayer serves to maintain the correspondence, certainly interior meditation must serve as nourishment in order to maintain the conversation between God and the soul.” 

Content with that, He continued:  “Now, would you be able to tell Me what it is that breaks the sweet contrasts, and removes the loving discontents which may arise between God and the soul?”  Since I did not answer, He Himself said:  “My daughter, only obedience has this office, because she alone decides about the things pertaining to Me and the soul.  And when some contrasts arise, or when some discontent comes to mortify the soul, as obedience arises, she breaks the contrasts, removes the discontents, and puts peace between God and the soul.”

And I:  “Ah, Lord, many times it seems that obedience herself does not want to meddle in it, remaining indifferent; and the poor soul is forced to remain in that state of contrasts and of huffiness.”  And Jesus:  “She does so for a certain time, because she too wants to delight in being present at those loving contrasts; but then she assumes her office and pacifies everything.  Therefore, obedience gives peace to the soul and to God.”

Having said this, He disappeared.

As I was praying for a person, blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter, it happens with love, symbolized by the sun, just as to those people who can easily continue to do their actions only as long as they keep their eyes low, so that the light of the sun descends, mild, into their eyes. But if they want to fix their eyes on the sun, especially if it is midday, their sight remains dazzled and they are forced to lower them, otherwise they would have to stop their activities. They would have the worst of it, while they would cause no damage to the sun, which would continue its course with its majesty. 

“So it happens, My daughter, to the one who really loves Me. Love is more than a majestic, imposing sun for her. If people look at her from afar, the Light of Love descends mildly into their eyes, so they plot, lay snares and criticize her. But as they approach her in order to fix eyes on her, the Light of Love will flash into their eyes, and they will end up leaving and no longer thinking about her. So, the loving soul will continue her course without even considering whether they are looking at her or not, because she knows that love will defend her in everything and will keep her safe.”

…And my sweet Jesus added:  “My daughter, all things created by Us possess the unitive force and the bond of inseparability.  Our Divine Fiat, as much as It is able to do things that are distinct among themselves, in such a way that one created things cannot say:  ‘I am like another’—the heavens cannot say that they are sun, the sun cannot say that it is sea—however, It does not know how to do things that are isolated and separate from other another.  It likes union so much, that It puts them in the condition that one cannot separate from the other; and while they are distinct and each one does its office, yet, in the motion, in the going around that they do, the union and the order that they have is so great, that one is the motion, one is the incessant round that they do.  But why does My Fiat make them move and go around continuously?  To give them the race of love toward He who created them; and to make them run toward the creatures, so as to let them exercise their office of offering the love of their Creator, since for the creatures were they created.  

“Now, the creature possesses the bond of all created things and goes around together with them; and here is how, if you breathe, it is the air that allows you to breathe, to palpitate, and your blood to circulate in your veins.  Now, the air gives you the breath, the heartbeat, and then it takes it to give it back to you again; and while it incessantly gives and takes your breath, it goes around—it runs together with all created things; and your breath goes around—it runs together with the air.  Your eye, by filling itself with light, runs within the sun; your feet run together with the earth.  But do you know who has the great good of feeling, vividly, the force, the union, the order, the inseparability of all created things, and the race of her whole being toward her Creator?  One who lets herself be dominated, and possesses the Life of My Will.  My Will has changed nothing of the way in which all things originated; but rather, it is the creature that changed things by not doing My Will.  But one who does It, and lets herself be dominated, holds her place of honor as she was created by God, and therefore We find her in the sun, in the heavens, in the sea, together with the union of all created things.  And—oh! how beautiful it is to find, together with all things created by Us, her, only for love of whom were they made by Us.”

…After this, He disappeared, but He came back a little later, as though restless because of offenses received.  Taking refuge in me, He wanted to take rest, and I said to Him:  ‘My Love, I have many things to tell You – many things to establish between You and me; I must ask of You that your Will be known and that Its Kingdom have Its Full Triumph.  If You rest, I cannot tell You anything – I must be silent to let You rest.’  And Jesus, interrupting my speaking, with unspeakable Tenderness pressed me so very tightly to Himself, and kissing me told me:  “My daughter, how beautiful on your lips is the prayer for the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Supreme Will.  It is the echo of My own Prayer, of My Sighs and of all My Works.  Now I want to see what you wrote about the title to be given to the writings about My Will.”  And as He was saying this, He took this book in His hands, and He seemed to be reading what is written on August 27.  As He was reading, He remained pensive, as though placing Himself in profound contemplation, in such a way that I did not dare to tell Him anything; I could only hear that His Heart was beating very, very strongly, almost wanting to explode.  Then He pressed the book to His breast, saying:  “I bless this title – I bless it from My Heart, and I bless all the words that regard My Will.”  And raising His right hand, with enchanting majesty, He pronounced the words of the blessing.  Having done this, He disappeared.

selection from V. 19 - August 27, 1926:

As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made me see the reverend father who must occupy himself with the printing of the writings on the Adorable Will of God.  And Jesus, placing Himself near him, said to him:  “My son, the title you will give to the book you will print about my Will is this:  ‘The Kingdom of my Divine Will in the midst of creatures.  Book of Heaven.  The call of the creature to the order, the place and the purpose for which he was created by God’. See, I want the title also to correspond to the great work of My Will. I want the creature to comprehend that his place, assigned to him by God, is in My Will, and until he enters into It, he will be without place, without order, without purpose; he will be an intruder in the Creation, with no right at all, and therefore he will go wandering without peace, without inheritance.  And I, moved to compassion for him, will cry out to him continuously:  ‘Enter into your place, come into the order, come to take your inheritance – to live in your house.  Why do you want to live in a foreign house?  Why do you want to occupy a land that is not yours?  And because it is not yours, you live unhappy, and you are the servant and the laughing-stock of all created things.  All things created by Me, because they remain in their place, are in order and in perfect harmony, with all the fullness of their goods, assigned to them by God.  You alone want to be unhappy – but of a voluntary unhappiness.  Therefore come to your place – it is there that I call you and await you’.  Therefore, he or she who will offer to make my Will known, will be my spokesperson, and I will entrust to them the secrets of Its Kingdom.” …

…Then, afterwards, I said to Him: “But tell me, my Love, why don’t You come? You made me wait so long as to almost make me lose the hope of your return; and because of this pain, my heart struggles between life and death.’”And Jesus, all goodness: “My daughter, having placed in you the ownership of My Will, I want you not only to possess It, but to be able to keep It, cultivate It, expand It, so as to multiply It. Therefore, pains, mortifications, vigilance, patience, and also My very privation, serve to expand and to keep the boundaries of My Will in your soul.

“It is not enough to possess – but to be able to possess. What good is it for a man to possess a land, if he does not take the care of sowing, cultivating it, keeping it, in order to then harvest the fruits of his hard work? If he does not work his property, even though he possesses it, one could say that he has nothing to eat. Therefore, it is not possessing which renders man rich and happy, but being able to cultivate well what he possesses.

“The same with My Graces, My Gifts, and especially My Will, which I placed in you as a Queen. It wants from you the food, the work of your pains, of your acts. It wants your will, fully subjected to It, to give It in everything the honors and the courting which befit It as Queen. And in everything you do and suffer, It will have its food ready to feed your soul. And so, you on one side, and My Will on the other, will expand the boundaries of My Supreme Will within you.”

I was fusing myself in the Most Holy Will of blessed Jesus, and while I was doing this I found myself in Jesus; He told me : “My daughter, when a soul fuses herself in My Will, it happens as when two containers, full of different fluids, are poured one into the other; each one of them remains filled with what the other contained. In the same way, the creature remains filled with Me, and I with her. And since My Will contains Sanctity, Beauty, Power, Love, etc., the soul, filling herself with Me — fusing and abandoning herself in My Will — arrives at being filled with My own Sanctity, My Love, My Beauty, etc., in the most perfect way given to a creature. And I feel Myself being filled with her, and finding My Sanctity, My Beauty, My Love, etc. in her, I look at her as if these were her own things, and I like it so much that I fall in Love with her, keeping her jealously in the intimate place within Me — enriching her and embellishing her continuously with My Divine Qualities, in order to be delighted and enamored more and more.”

…And, repeating His kisses, He [Jesus] told me:  “Little daughter of My Will, as My Breath breathes over you, it renews you, and with its vivifying power it destroys in you the infection of the seed of the human volition, and vivifies the seed of My Divine Fiat.  This Breath is the origin of the human life of the creature; but as man withdrew from My Will, he lost My Breath; and even though life remained in him, he no longer felt the vivifying strength of My Breath that, in vivifying him, maintained him beautiful, fresh, in the Likeness of his Creator.  So, without My Breath, man remained like that flower that, having no more rain, wind and sun, fades, withers, and lowering its head, it tends toward dying.  

“Now, in order to rehabilitate the Kingdom of My Divine Will in the midst of creatures, it is necessary that My continuous Breath return into their midst, that, breathing over them, more than wind, may let the Sun of My Will enter into them, so that, with Its Heat, It may destroy the bad seed of the human volition, and man may return to be beautiful and fresh, as he was created.  And the flower, straightening up its stem again under the rain of My Grace, raises its head again, becomes vivified, acquires color, and tends toward the life of My Will—no longer toward death.

“Oh! if creatures knew the great Good I am preparing, the surprises of Love, the unheard-of graces—how much more attentive they would be.  And those who know the knowledges about My Will—oh! how they would lay down their lives in order to fling them into the midst of the world, so that creatures may dispose themselves to receive such a great good.  In fact, the knowledges have the virtue of helping to facilitate the human dispositions for a good so great.  But human ingratitude is always the same; instead of preparing themselves, they think of all else, and they hurl themselves into sin.”

…Then He added: “Every time I speak to you about My Will and you acquire new understanding and knowledge, your act in My Will receives more value and you acquire more Immense Riches. It happens as to a man who possesses a gem, and knows that this gem is worth a penny: he is rich one penny. Now, it happens that he shows his gem to a skilled expert, who tells him that his gem has a value of five thousand liras. That man no longer possesses one penny, but he is rich five thousand liras. Now, after some time he has the opportunity to show his gem to another expert, even more experienced, who assures him that his gem contains the value of one hundred thousand liras, and is ready to buy it if he wants to sell. Now that man is rich one hundred thousand liras. According to his knowledge of the value of his gem, he becomes richer, and feels greater love and appreciation for the gem; he keeps it in custody more jealously, knowing that the gem is all his fortune, while before he held it as a trifle. Yet, the gem has not changed – that which it was, so it is now; he is the one who has changed, by understanding the value that the gem contains. 

"Now, the same happens with My Will, as well as with virtues. According to how the soul understands their value and acquires knowledge of them, she comes to acquire New Values and New Riches in her acts. Therefore, the more you know My Will, the more your act will acquire value. Oh, if you knew what seas of graces I open between you and Me every time I speak to you about the effects of My Will, you would die of joy and would make feast, as if you had acquired New Reigns to dominate!”

Continuing in my usual state, as soon as my always adorable Jesus came, I gave Him a kiss, telling Him: “My Jesus, if it were possible, I would like to give You the kiss of all the creatures, so I would satisfy your Love, by bringing them all to You.”

And Jesus: “My daughter, if you want to give Me the kiss of all, kiss Me in My Will, because My Will, containing the Creative Virtue, contains the Power to multiply one act into many acts, as many as you want. In this way, you will give Me the contentment as if all had kissed Me, and you will have the merit as if you had made everyone kiss Me; while all the creatures will receive the effects according to their own dispositions.

“One act in My Will contains all possible imaginable goods. You will find an image of this in the light of the Sun. The light is one, but this light multiplies itself in all the glances of creatures. The light remains always one, one single act, but not all the glances of creatures enjoy the same light. Some, of weak sight, need to put their hand before their eyes, almost not to be blinded by the light; others, blind, do not enjoy this light at all, but this is not due to a defect of the light, rather, to a defect in the sight of the creatures. Therefore, My daughter, if you desire to love Me for all, your love will flow in My Will, if you do this in It. And since My Will fills Heaven and earth, I will hear your ‘I love you’ being repeated in Heaven, around Me, inside of Me, on earth, and it will multiply itself from every point, for as many acts as My Will can do. So, it can give Me the satisfaction of the love of all, because the creature is limited and finite, while My Will is Immense and Infinite.

“How can those words which I pronounced in creating man, ‘We make man in Our Image and Likeness’, be explained? How could the creature, so incapable, ever resemble Me and be My Image? Only in My Will could she arrive at this, because by making It her own, she arrives at acting in the Divine Manner; and through the repetition of these Divine Acts she arrives at resembling Me, becoming My perfect image. It happens as to that child who, by repeating the acts which he observes in his teacher, becomes like him. So, the only thing that makes the creature be like Me is My Will. This is why I have so much interest that the creature, making It her own, may fulfill the purpose for which she was created.”

I was thinking to myself:  “But, is it really true that the Kingdom of the Will of God will come upon earth?”  

And my lovable Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, how is this—you doubt?  Don’t you know that there are the Rights of God to give this Kingdom, and the rights of humanity to receive It?  In fact, in creating man, by giving His Will to man as inheritance, God gave these rights—that His Divine Will Reign on earth as It Reigned in Heaven.  This is so true, that the life of the first man began in the Fiat, and by having done his first acts in It, he placed his pledges, his works, in the Divine Inheritance; so much so, that these pledges and acts still exist in My Will—they are indelible.  And even though man went out from within It, his acts remained, and this constitutes a right for humanity to enter once again into the lost Kingdom.  

“In fact, We do not look at man in himself, but We look at the whole human family as if it were one alone; and if one leaves and detaches himself, humanity always remains, and can receive what was lost by the one who left.  Therefore, there are rights on both sides.  If it were not so, the living of man in Our Kingdom would not have been a reality, but a way of speaking; while, when We give, We give with facts, so much so, that the human life has its origin in the Kingdom of Our Will.  

“If you knew what it means to do even one act alone in It…. Its value is incalculable.  And then, there are the acts of My Humanity, those of the Queen of Heaven, all done in the Kingdom of Our Divine Will, by which, as the leaders of the human family, We reconfirmed the rights for creatures to re-enter into Our Kingdom.” ,,,

As I was in my usual state, my adorable Jesus came for just a little, and He transported me outside of myself; He shared His sufferings with me, and then He told me:  “My daughter, when two people share together the weight of a work, together they share the compensation that they receive from that work, and both of them can do good to whomever they want with that compensation.  So, since you share with Me the weight of My Sufferings, that is, the work of My Redemption, you come to share in the gain of the work of Redemption.  And since the compensation for our pains is divided between you and Me, I can do good to whomever I want, in general and also in a special way; and you too are free to do good to whomever you want with the compensation that is due to you.  This is the gain for one who shares My Pains with Me, which is conceded only to the state of victim; and it is gain for those who are closest to the victim because, being close, they can participate more easily in the goods that he possesses.  Therefore, My daughter, rejoice the more I share My Pains with you, because greater will be the share of your compensation.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 21, 1901 Volume 4

As I was in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself. After going round and round in search of Jesus, I found the Queen Mama instead, and oppressed and tired as I was, I said to Her: “My most sweet Mama, I lost the way to find Jesus; I don’t know where else to go, nor what to do in order to find Him again.”

While saying this, I was crying, and She said to me: “My daughter, follow Me and you will find the way, and Jesus. Even more, I want to teach you the secret of how you can always be with Jesus, and live always content and happy, even on this earth: fix in your interior that there is only Jesus and you in the world, and no one else; and that Him alone must you please, satisfy and love, and from Him alone must you expect to be Loved in return and Contented in everything. If you are in this way with Jesus, you will no longer be affected, whether you are surrounded by scorns or praises, by relatives or strangers, by friends or enemies. Jesus alone will be all your Contentment, and Jesus alone will be Enough for you in the place of all. My daughter, until everything that exists down here disappears completely in the soul, one cannot find true and perpetual contentment.”

Now, while She was saying this, Jesus came into our midst as though from within a flash. I took Him and brought Him with me, and I found myself inside myself.

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 20, 1921 Volume 13

Continuing in my state of privation and of unspeakable bitterness, my lovable Jesus came for just a little, and surrounding me with His arms, told me: “My daughter, daughter of my Will, I love so much one who lives in My Will that I become her custodian, and I keep her sheltered in My own arms. I am jealous that not even one act be lost, because My own Life is involved in each act. 

“The Fiat released the Creation, and from the Fiat, Creation receives continuous preservation. If My Fiat withdrew, It would turn into nothing; and if It remains intact, without changing, it is because It has not moved from My Fiat. However, I did not repeat another Fiat, otherwise more new heavens, more new suns and stars would come out, one different from the other. On the other hand, in the soul who lives in My Will there is not just one Fiat, but repeated Fiats. Therefore, as the soul operates in My Will, I repeat the Fiat and new heavens, new suns and stars are extended; and since the soul contains an intelligence, these heavens are new heavens of love, of glory, of light, of adoration, of knowledge — forming such a variety of beauty that I Myself remain enraptured. The whole of Heaven, the Saints, the Angels, cannot remove their gaze from her, because as they admire the variety of heavens which she contains, more new ones extend, one more beautiful than the other. They see the Celestial Fatherland copied in the soul who lives in My Will — the multiplicity of new things which multiply to the infinite.

“How could I not keep this soul guarded and not be extremely jealous of her, if just one act of hers is worth more than Creation Itself? In fact, the heavens, the sun, are without intelligence, therefore they have no value in themselves — all the value is Mine. On the other hand, since one who lives in My Will contains an intelligence, there is her will that runs within Mine, and the power of My Fiat uses it as raw material in order to extend these new heavens. Therefore, as the soul operates in My Will, she gives Me the delight of forming new Creations. Her acts are the manifestation of the Life of My Will, the Prodigies of My Volition — My repeated Fiat. How could I not love this soul?”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 19, 1922 Volume 14

As I was in my usual state, my sweet Jesus made me suffer part of His pains and of His deaths, which He suffered for each creature. From my little pains I could comprehend how atrocious and mortal the pains of Jesus had been. Then He told me: “My daughter, My Pains are incomprehensible to human nature, and the very Pains of My Passion were shadows or similes of My interior Pains. My interior Pains were inflicted on Me by an Omnipotent God, and not one fiber could dodge His blow; those of My Passion were inflicted on Me by men who, having neither Omnipotence nor All-seeingness, were not able to do what they wanted, nor to penetrate into every single fiber of Mine.

“My interior Pains were Incarnate, and My very Humanity was transformed into nails, into thorns, into scourges, into wounds, into martyrdom, so cruel as to give Me continuous deaths; and these were inseparable from Me — they formed My very Life. On the other hand, those of My Passion were extraneous to Me; they were thorns and nails which could be driven inside, and eventually, they could also be removed; and the mere thought that a pain can be removed is a relief. But My interior Pains, which were formed of My own flesh — there was no hope that they might be removed, or that the sharpness of a thorn or the piercing of the nails might be lessened. 

“My interior Pains were so great and so many that I could call the Pains of My Passion reliefs and kisses given to My interior Pains; and uniting together, they gave the last proof of My Great and Excessive Love for the salvation of souls. My external Pains were voices which called everyone to enter into the ocean of My interior Pains, to make them comprehend how much their salvation cost Me. And then, from your own interior Pains, communicated by Me, you can somehow comprehend the continuous intensity of Mine. Therefore, pluck up courage — it is Love that pushes Me to this.”

… After this, my always lovable Jesus came back and made Himself seen all worried, suffering and as though restless because of the great offenses of creatures.  I wanted to calm Him, give Him rest, but I could not manage to.  Then the thought came to me of doing my usual acts in the Supreme Fiat, and as I was doing this, Jesus would calm down and take rest.  Then He told me:  “My daughter, the acts in My Will are more than solar rays which are such that, if one wants to look at them, one’s sight is eclipsed by the light, in such a way that one can neither look nor distinguish anything any more.  If the light of the sun has so much power, much more do the acts done in My Will.  The Light of My Will has the Power to eclipse and take evil away from creatures, that they may not do worse things; and with the Power of its Light it prevents the offenses from reaching Me.  And just as the light of the sun, because it contains the simile of the Eternal Sun of the Supreme Fiat, contains all colors and from them derive innumerable effects which unleash countless goods for the human generations, while one seems to see nothing but radiant and white light — the same for the Eternal Sun of My Will:  while It is the Light of My Will alone, inside of It there are as though many colors, all the Divine similes, enclosed, which contain Infinite Effects and unleash fountains of Love, of Goodness, of Mercy, of Power, of Science – in sum, all the Divine Qualities.  Therefore the working of My Will contains such Power and Harmony as to favor the rest of your beloved Jesus.”

As I was praying, my blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter, the thought of oneself makes the soul smaller, and from her littleness she measures My Greatness, almost wanting to constrain Me. On the other hand, one who does not think of herself but thinks of Me becomes greater within My Immensity and renders Me the honor due to Me.”

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

I was thinking to myself: “Why does blessed Jesus have so much interest, and He wants and loves so much that His Will be done? What Glory can He receive from a poor and vile creature who surrenders her will into His most high, most holy and most adorable Will?”

Now, while I was thinking about this, my adorable Jesus, with unspeakable tenderness and sweetness, told me: “My daughter, do you want to know why? Because My Love, My Supreme Goodness, is so great that every time the creature does My Will and operates because I want it, I give her of My own, and in order to always give her of My own, I want her to do My Will. Therefore, all the reason and the interest for which I want her to do My Will, is to find occasions and means to be able to always give. It is My Love that does not want to be still; It wants to always run, flying toward the creature – but to do what? To give. And by doing My Will, she comes closer to Me and I to her; and I give and she takes. On the other hand, if she does not operate to do My Will, she keeps her distance from Me, becoming as though foreign to Me, and therefore she cannot take what I wanted to give her. And if I wanted to give her of My own, it would be noxious and indigestible for her, because her palate, rough and contaminated by the human will, would not allow her to taste or appreciate the Divine Gifts. Therefore, all the interest is because I want to always give of My own.

“My Glory, then, is My own Glory which I receive through the work of the creature who does My Will. It is a Glory which descends from Heaven and rises again straight at the foot of My Throne, multiplied by the Divine Will which has been exercised by the creature. On the other hand, the glory that those who do not do My Will can give Me, if there were any at all, would be a glory foreign to Me, which many times reaches the point of nauseating Me. More so, since when the creature operates to do My Will, by giving her of My own, I unite to that work My Sanctity, My Power and Wisdom, the beauty of My Works, an incalculable and infinite Value… I could say that these are fruits of My Lands, works of My Celestial Kingdom, Glory of My Family and of My legitimate children; so, how could they not be pleasing to Me? How could I not feel the enrapturing power of My Supreme Volition in those works of the creature, who works only to do My Will? Oh, if all knew the good of It, they would not let themselves be deceived by their own will!”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 15, 1925 Volume 18

After this, I began to think about the feast of my Celestial Mama Assumed into Heaven; and my sweet Jesus, with a tender and moving tone, added:  “My daughter, the true name of this Feast should be Feast of the Divine Will.  It was the human will that closed Heaven, broke the bonds with its Creator, made miseries and sorrow enter the field, and put an end to the feast that the creature was to enjoy in Heaven.  Now, this creature, Queen of all, by doing the Will of the Eternal One always and in everything – even more, it can be said that Her life was Divine Will alone – opened the Heavens, bound Herself to the Eternal One, and restored in Heaven the feasts with the creature.  Every act She did in the Supreme Will was a feast that She started in Heaven, it was suns that She formed to adorn this feast, it was melodies that She sent to delight the Celestial Jerusalem.  So, the true cause of this feast is the Eternal Will Operating and Fulfilled in My Celestial Mama.  It operated such Prodigies in Her as to astonish Heaven and earth, chain the Eternal One with indissoluble bonds of Love, and capture the Word even into Her womb.  The very Angels, enraptured, repeated among themselves:  ‘From where comes so much glory, so much honor, such greatness and prodigies never before seen, in this excelling Creature?  Yet, it is from the exile that She is coming.’  Astonished, they recognized the Will of their Creator as Life operating in Her; and, trembling, they said:  ‘Holy, Holy, Holy — honor and glory to the Will of Our Sovereign Lord.  And glory, and trice Holy — She who let this Supreme Will operate.’

“So, it is My Will that, more than anything, was and is celebrated on the day of the Assumption into Heaven of My Most Holy Mother.  It was My Will alone that made Her ascend so high as to distinguish Her among all.  Everything else would have been as nothing, had She not possessed the prodigy of My Will.  It was My Will that gave Her Divine Fecundity and made Her the Mother of the Word.  It was My Will that made Her see and embrace all creatures together, becoming the Mother of all, and loving all with a Love of Divine Maternity.  And making Her the Queen of all, It made Her rule and dominate.  On that day, My Will received the first honors, the glory and the abundant fruit of Its Work in Creation, and It began Its Feast, which It never interrupts, for the glorification of Its Operating in My beloved Mother.  And even though Heaven was opened by Me, and many Saints were already in possession of the Celestial Fatherland when the Celestial Queen was assumed into Heaven, however, She Herself was the primary cause, having fulfilled the Supreme Will in everything, and therefore we waited for She who had honored It so much and contained the True Prodigy of the Most Holy Will, to make the first Feast for the Supreme Volition.  Oh! how the whole of Heaven magnified, blessed and praised the Eternal Will, upon seeing this sublime Queen enter the Empyreum, in the midst of the Celestial Court, all circumfused by the Eternal Sun of the Supreme Volition!  They saw Her all studded with the Power of the Supreme Fiat; there had been not even a heartbeat in Her which did not have this Fiat impressed on it.  And, astonished, they looked at Her and said to Her:  ‘Ascend, ascend higher.  It is right that She who so much honored the Supreme Fiat, and through whom we find ourselves in the Celestial Fatherland, have the highest throne and be our Queen.’  And the greatest honor that My Mama received, was to see the Divine Will glorified.”
