Divine Will for every day of the year - July 22, 1905 Volume 6

I was feeling annoyed for being unable to make certain mortifications, as it seemed to me that the Lord abhorred me, and therefore He would not permit me to do them.  And blessed Jesus came and told me:  “My daughter, one who really loves Me never gets annoyed about anything, but tries to convert all things into love.  For what reason did you want to mortify yourself?  Certainly for love of Me.  And I say to you:  ‘For love of Me mortify yourself, and for love of Me take the reliefs; and both one and the other will have the same weight before Me.’  The weight of any action, be it even an indifferent one, increases according to the dose of love it contains, because I do not look at the work, but at the intensity of love that the working contains.  Therefore I want no annoyance in you, but always peace; because in annoyances, in disturbances, it is always the love of self that wants to come out to reign, or the enemy to do harm.”

…And my lovable Jesus, placing His holy hands under my shoulders to as though take me in His arms, told me:  “My daughter, how heavy you have become—don’t you know that oppression weighs the soul down, and if I want to take you in My arms I have to make an effort to lift you?  On the other hand, My Will empties the weight of nature, and Its Light, removing the gloom of what is human, renders her light—light and capable of any sacrifice; and giving her the wings of Love, It gives to the soul the first qualities of the Celestial Fatherland, that knows neither oppression nor darkness, but daylight without sunset and joy that never ends.  

“And besides, what would you say if you heard the sun say:  ‘Everything is over—I am no longer sun, because my Creator does not constantly add more light for me.’  

“You, I believe, would answer the sun:  ‘I see you always sun, because your Maker has taken nothing away from you of the light He gave you.  At the most, if He kept adding light, you would have been stronger and more refulgent in your light.’  

“So do I answer you:  ‘You are always sun, because the Sun of My Will and of the knowledges about It, more than light, reigns in you.’  Neither I nor anyone else can snatch from you a single one of the many knowledges that you possess about My Eternal Fiat.  

“And only because I do not constantly add more about It, as if what I have told you were nothing, you say:  ‘Everything is over,’ as if this Sun were extinguished in you?  It takes too much, My daughter, to extinguish this Sun of My Will, nor will you yourself be able to escape Its eternal rays that, invading your soul, eclipse from you everything that does not belong to this Sun.  Therefore, follow Its light and wait with patience for new light to come and be added, so as to render the Sun of My Will more refulgent in you.”

This morning I was praying for a priest who was infirm, who had been my director, and I was thinking to myself:  “Had he continued my direction, would he be infirm or not?”  And blessed Jesus, on coming, told me:  “My daughter, who enjoys the goods that are present inside a house?  Certainly those who are in it; and even though someone has been there before, only those who are currently in it can enjoy them.  For example, as long as a servant remains with his master, the master pays him and allows him to enjoy the goods which are in his house; and when he goes away, he calls another one, pays him and lets him share in his goods.  So I do; when something is wanted by Me and is left by someone, I transmit it to someone else, giving him everything which was destined for the other.  So, had he continued your direction, given your state of victim, he would have enjoyed the goods pertaining to the state of the one who currently guides you, therefore he would not have been infirm.  And if the current guide, in spite of his health, does not obtain everything else he wants, it is because he does not do fully what I want, and even though he enjoys some goods, yet, certain charisms of mine he does not deserve.”

This morning, as I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, I feel your breath and I feel refreshed by it. By just being close to you, your breath gives Me refreshment; even when others talk about the things that you said for their own good, I feel your breath through them and I am pleased. So, My Relief is repeated, and I say: ‘Even through others, My daughter sends Me her refreshment, because if she hadn’t been attentive in listening to Me, she could not have done any good for others. Therefore, she is still the one who sends Me this good.’ So, I love you even more and I feel compelled to come and converse with you.”

Then He added: “True love must stand alone. When it leans on something else — even a holy thing or a spiritual person — it gives Me nausea and, instead of content, I feel embittered and bothered. Only when love is alone can I take control and do with the soul whatever I want. This is the nature of True Love. But when it does not stand alone, one thing can be done, something else cannot. It is a hindered command, which does not give full freedom; therefore, love feels uncomfortable and constrained.”

[Jesus speaking]

“… Now, had I wanted to manifest the Kingdom of my Will, either when I came upon earth or before the goods of Redemption would be recognized and, for the most part, possessed by creatures, my greatest Saints would have been frightened; all would have thought and said:  ‘Adam, innocent and holy, was unable to live nor to persevere in this Kingdom of endless Light and of Divine Sanctity – how can we do it?’  And you yourself – how many times have you not become frightened?  And trembling before the immense goods and the Sanctity, fully Divine, of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat, you wanted to draw back, saying to Me:  ‘Jesus, think of some other creature – I am incapable of this.’  You were not so much frightened by the suffering; rather, many times you prayed Me - you incited Me to let you suffer.  Therefore My more than paternal Goodness acted with you as with a second Mother of mine:  from Her I hid My Conception in Her womb; first I prepared Her, I formed Her, so as not to frighten Her; and when the appropriate time came, in the very act in which I was to be conceived, then I made it known to Her through the Angel; and even though at first She trembled and was troubled, immediately She became serene again, because She was used to living with Her God, in the midst of His Light and before His Sanctity.  So I have done with you:  for many years and years I hid from you that I wanted to form this Supreme Kingdom in you; I prepared you, I formed you, I enclosed Myself in you, in the depth of your soul in order to form It; and when everything was done, I manifested the secret to you, I spoke to you about your special mission, I asked you in a formal way whether you wanted to accept living in My Will; and even though you trembled and feared, I reassured you, saying to you:  ‘Why do you trouble yourself?  Have you perhaps not lived with Me until now in the Kingdom of My Will?’  And you, serene again, would make more of a practice of the living in It, and I would delight in expanding ever more the boundaries of My Kingdom; because it is established up to what point the creature must take possession of this Kingdom, since Its boundaries are endless, and the creature is incapable of embracing them all, because she is limited.”

And I:  “My love, yet, My fears have not completely ceased, and many times I am so frightened that I fear I might act like a second Adam.”  And Jesus:  “My daughter, do not fear, you have more help than Adam did — you have the help of a Humanate God, and all His works and pains as your defense, as your support, as your cortege, which he did not have.  Why, then, do you want to fear?  Rather, be attentive to the sanctity that befits the living in this Celestial Kingdom, and on your happiness and fortune, because by living in It, one Gaze of Mine is enough for you – it is enough for you to hear one of My Words alone to comprehend Its Goods; while for those who are outside, one can say that they understand only that the Kingdom of My Will exists, but as for what is inside of It, what it takes to comprehend It, they can just barely understand the alphabet of My Will.”

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: “My daughter, the true sign to know whether the soul lives in My Will, is that everything that happens to her, every circumstance, takes place in peace, because My Will is so Perfect and Holy that It cannot produce even the shadow of disturbance. So, if in contrasts, mortifications or bitternesses she feels disturbed, she cannot say that she is inside My Will. If she feels resigned and also disturbed, she can say, at most, that she is in the shadow of My Will; in fact, while being outside of It, she is free to feel her own self – but not inside.”

[Jesus speaking]

“… The sanctity of other virtues is enough known in the whole Church, and whoever wants it, can copy it; this is why I was not concerned with multiplying that same knowledge. But the Sanctity of living in My Will, the effects and the value It contains, the finishing touch which My Creative Hand will give to the creature in order to make her similar to Me, is not yet known. This is the reason for all My haste, so that what I told you be manifested; and if you did not do so, you would constrain My Will, imprison within Me the flames which devour Me, and make Me delay the complete glory that Creation owes Me. However, I want things to come out orderly, because one missing word, one broken nexus, connection or sentence, instead of shedding light, would cast darkness about Me, and instead of making creatures give Me glory and love, would make them remain indifferent. Therefore, be attentive; I want what I have said to come out whole.” And I: “But in order to put your part entirely, I am forced to put part of mine.” And Jesus: “And what do you mean by this? If we have made the way together, do you want Me to come out into the field alone? And then, whom should I point out and place as example to be imitated, if the one whom I instructed and who has the practice of the way to live in my Will does not want to be known? My daughter, this is absurd.” 

“Ah, Jesus, in what a maze You throw me! I feel I am dying! I hope that your FIAT will give me the strength.”

“Therefore, remove your will, and My FIAT will do everything.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 15, 1934 Volume 33

[Jesus speaking]

“Life in My Will is not a joke, but Operating Life and continuous Activity.  Rather, you must know that there is nothing that has been done by God, by the Saints, and by everyone, that is not given to one who Lives in My Volition, because there is nothing of Good that does not belong to It.  And as you feel the need of possessing everything, so everyone feels the need of giving himself to you.  But do you know why they want to pass through the channel of the human volition?  In order to give the Good that they possess and to duplicate the Good, the glory, of their acts to their Creator.  In fact, as you desire to search them out, so Our Works and those of the whole of Heaven desire to be sought.  It seems that they say one after the other:  ‘And to me, and to me—do not pass me over.  Take me in your power, unite us all together so that one is the Love, the Glory, of everyone to that Supreme Will that has given birth to us in Its Womb and has given us Life.’  

“Therefore Living in My Will is the Prodigy of prodigies, it is the Unity of everything, it is to possess everything, to receive and give everything.  And since I want to always give to the creature, I ardently yearn for her in My Fiat in order to give her what I want and to fulfill My Desires.” …

…Then, this morning, after much struggling – oh, how much! – He [Jesus] came for just a little and told me:  “My daughter, life is a continuous consummation.  Some consume it for pleasures, some for creatures, some for sinning, others for interests, some for whims… There are many kinds of consummation.  Now, one who forms this consummation all in God, can say with all certainty:  ‘Lord, my life has been consumed with love for You, and I have not only consumed myself, but I have died for love of You alone.’  Therefore, if you feel yourself being consumed continuously because of My separation, you can say that you are dying continuously in Me, and that you suffer many deaths for love of Me.  And if you consume your being for Me, as great as the consummation of yourself is, so much do you acquire of the Divine within yourself.”

“Now, you must know, My daughter, that the passport in order to enter into My Kingdom is the resolute will of never doing one’s own will, even at the cost of one’s life and any sacrifice.  This resolute act, but true, is like the signature that one puts on the passport in order to set off in the Kingdom of My Divine Will; and while the creature signs in order to set off, God signs in order to receive her.  This latter signature will have so much value, that the whole of Heaven will go to meet her in order to receive her into the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat in which they live; and they will be all eyes over this creature who, from the earth, holds as life and as Kingdom that same Will that they hold in Heaven.  But the passport is not enough; one must study the language, the ways, the customs of this Divine Kingdom — and these are the Knowledges, the Prerogatives, the Beauties, the Value that My Will contains.  Otherwise, one would be like a stranger; he would neither take love, nor be loved.  If he does not sacrifice in making of It a study in order to be able to speak with that same language, and does not adapt himself to the customs of those who live in this Kingdom so Holy, he will live isolated, because, not understanding him, they will shun him; and isolation makes no one happy.  In addition to this, one must pass from the study to the practice of what was learned; and after a length of practice, at last, he is declared a citizen of the Kingdom of My Divine Will, and then will he enjoy all the Happinesses that are in a Kingdom so Holy; even more, they will be his own properties, and he will acquire the right to live in It as in his own Fatherland.”

… And my sweet Jesus added:  “My daughter, only in My Will can the soul arrive at the apex of the Highest Sanctity, and enclose in herself—for as much as is possible for a creature—a Complete Act, such as to fill herself so much, as to not leave any void in her, so much so as to convert into her own nature the good that she does.  If she Loves in My Fiat, the wave of Love rains on her everywhere, it Invests her most intimate fibers, and while Its Rain pours over her sweeping her away in Love, It assumes the aspect of Queen and converts into nature Its Love in the creature, but so much so that she will feel the breath, the heartbeat, the motion, the step, all her being, that she does not know how to do anything other than Love.  

“This wave of Love rises even to Heaven, without ceasing to rain over her, and she takes her Creator by storm and she always Loves Him, because when Good is converted into one’s nature, one feels the need of repeating the received Good as Act that constitutes her Life.  If she adores, she will feel her nature changed into adoration, such that in everything she will feel profound adorations coming forth for her Creator.  If she repairs, she will feel the course of going to search out all the offenses, in order to place her reparation there.  In sum, My Will, with Its Creative Strength, does not leave any void, and It knows how to convert into nature everything that the creature does in It.  See what difference there is between one who Lives in My Will and Possesses It as Operating Life, and one who knows It as virtue, and perhaps in the most sorrowful circumstances of life, and in all the rest as if It were not for them. …”

“… You must know that this fulfillment of My Will is so great as to be numbered among the greatest works which the Divinity has operated.  And I want It to be known, so that in knowing Its Greatness and the Immense Goods It contains, they may love It, esteem It and desire It.  Three times did the Supreme Divinity decide to operate ‘ad extra’.  The first was in Creation, and it was without the intervention of the creature, since none of them had yet come out to the light of the day.  The second was in Redemption, and with it intervened a woman, the holiest, the most beautiful – My Celestial Mama.  She was the channel and the instrument I used in order to fulfill the work of Redemption.  The third is the fulfillment of My Will to be done on earth as It is in Heaven – that is, for the creature to live and operate with the Sanctity and the Power of Our Will; a work inseparable from Creation and Redemption, just as the Sacrosanct Trinity is inseparable.  Nor can We say that the work of Creation has been completed by Us, if Our Will, as We decreed, does not act in the creature and live with that freedom, sanctity and power with which It operates and lives in Us.  Even more, this is the most beautiful point, the highest, the brightest, and the seal of the fulfillment of the work of Creation and Redemption. 

“These are Divine Decrees, and they must have full completion.  And in order to fulfill this decree We want to use another woman – and that is you.  The woman was the incitement, the cause for which man fell into his misfortunes, and We want to use the woman to put things in order, to let man out of his misfortunes and give back to him decorum, honor, Our true likeness — just as he was created by Us.  Therefore, be attentive, and do not take things lightly.  This is not about just anything – this is about Divine Decrees, and about giving Us the field to let Us accomplish the work of Creation and Redemption.  Therefore, just as We entrusted Our Mama to St. John, that She might deposit in him, and from him to the Church, the treasures, the graces and all of my teachings which I had deposited in Her during the course of My Life, when She was entrusted to Me and I acted as Priest to Her — as I deposited in Her, as in a sanctuary, all the laws, the precepts and the doctrines which the Church was to possess; and She, faithful as She was, and jealous of even one word of mine, deposited them in My faithful disciple John, so that they might not be lost, and therefore My Mama has primacy over the whole Church — so I did with you:  since the ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua’ must serve the whole Church, I entrusted you to a minister of Mine, that you may deposit in him everything I manifest to you about My Will – the goods contained in It, how the creature must enter into It, and how the Paternal Goodness wants to open another era of Grace, placing His Goods, which He possesses in Heaven, in common with the creature, and giving back to her the lost happiness.  Therefore, be attentive, and be faithful to Me.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 10, 1922 Volume 14

… Then, while I was feeling His real presence in my interior, He told me: “My daughter, rise, rise more — but so high as to reach the womb of the Divinity; your life will be among the Divine Persons. See, in order to make you reach this point, I formed My Life in you, I enclosed My Eternal Volition in whatever you do, and there It flows in a marvelous and surprising way, as My Volition is acting in you in a continuous immediate Act. Now, after I have formed My Life in you, with My Will acting in you, in your acts, your will has remained soaked, transfused, in such a way that My Volition possesses a life upon the earth.

“Now it is necessary that you rise and carry with you My Life, My Will, so that My Volition of the earth and That of Heaven may fuse together, and you may live for some time in the womb of the Divinity, where your volition will be acting in Mine, in order to expand it as much as a creature can be capable of. Then, you will descend again upon the earth, bringing the Power and the Prodigies of My Will, in such a way that the creatures will be shaken, they will open their eyes, and many will know what it means to live in My Will — to live in the likeness to their Creator. This will be the beginning of the coming of My Kingdom upon earth, and of the final fulfillment of My Will.

Do you think that living in my Will is something trivial? There is nothing that equals It, nor sanctity that matches It. It is the real Life, not a fantastic one, as some may think; and this Life of Mine is not only in the soul, but also in the body. But do you know how this Life of Mine is formed? My Eternal Will is that of the soul, and My heartbeat, palpitating in her heart, forms My Conception; her love, her pains, and all of her acts done in My Will form My Humanity, and make Me grow so much that I cannot remain hidden, nor can she help feeling Me. Don’t you feel Me, alive, in your interior? This is why I told you that the Sanctity of living in My Will cannot be matched by anything else; all other sanctities will be like little lights, while It will be the great Sun transfused in its Creator.” …

I continue in the same state, and maybe even worse; and if sometimes He makes Himself seen, it is like shadow and flashes, and almost always in silence.  This morning, as I was at the summit of my affliction and dazedness because of the continuous sleep, He just barely made Himself seen and told me:  “Courage, My daughter, the soul who is truly Mine must live not only for God, but in God.  You, try to live in Me, for in Me you will find the receptacle of all virtues, and strolling in their midst, you will nourish yourself with their fragrance, so much so, as to become replete.  And you yourself will do nothing but give off light and celestial fragrance, because to live in Me is true virtue, and it has the virtue of giving to the soul the same shape as the Divine Person in whom she dwells, and of transforming her into the very Divine Virtues with which she nourishes herself.”

After this, He disappeared like a flash, and running after that flash, my soul found herself outside of myself.  But He had already escaped, and it was not given to me to find Him, while I received the bitterness of seeing a terrible hail which had caused a great devastation; and bolts of lightning, as if they had produced fires; and other things which had been prepared.  Having seen this, I found myself inside myself, more afflicted than before. 

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 8, 1929 Volume 26

My littleness becomes lost and remains suffocated in the sea of sorrow of the privation of my beloved Jesus.  Feeling in suffering, more than ever I was yearning for my nature to become undone, so as to get out of my prison and take flight toward my Celestial Fatherland.  I would have wanted to go around everywhere in His Most Holy Will, and move Heaven and earth, so that, together with me, all might have a cry, a tear, a sigh, for this poor exiled one, so that all might ask for the end of my exile.  

But while I was pouring myself out in my bitternesses, my lovable Jesus came out from within my interior, and giving me a kiss and clasping me in His arms, He told me:  “My daughter, calm yourself, I am here within you; but while I am with you, I leave the work field free for My Divine Will.  And since It has Its Prime Act in you, it happens that you perceive what It does within you, Its Crafting, while you do not feel that I, who am inside of It, am already with It in Its Work.  In fact, I am inseparable from My Divine Will, and whatever It does, I do.  

“Now, you must know that My Divine Will wants to make Its work, Its field of action and Absolute Dominion, completely Its own, not only in your soul, but also in the earth of your body.  Over your sufferings It spreads Its Kiss of Light and of Heat; with Its Light It produces the seed; with Its Heat It fecundates it and forms the germ; and nourishing this germ with continuous Light and Heat, It makes flowers of light bloom with such variety of colors, always animated by the light, because It can do nothing, whether big or little, in which It does not make Its light flow.  These flowers are not like those of the earth that have no light and are subject to withering; they have perennial life, because they are nourished by the Light of My Fiat, and the variety of their beauty is such and so great, that it will form the most beautiful ornament to the earth of your humanity.” …

I was following my sweet Jesus in His Public Life, and while thinking about the so many human diseases that Jesus healed, I thought to myself:  “And why did the human nature transform itself so much, that some became mute, some deaf, some blind, some covered with wounds, and so many other evils.  If it was the human will that did evil, why did the body also suffer so much?”  

And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, you must know that the body did nothing evil, but all the evil was done by the human will.  However, before sinning, Adam possessed the complete life of My Divine Will in his soul; one can say that it was filled to the brim, to the extent of overflowing outside.  So, by virtue of My Will, the human will transfused light outside, and emitted the fragrances of its Creator—fragrances of beauty, of sanctity and of full health; fragrances of purity, of strength, that were such as to come out from within his will like many luminous clouds.  And the body was so embellished by these exhalations, that it was a delight to see him beautiful, vigorous, luminous, so very healthy, with an enrapturing grace.

“Now, as Adam sinned, his human will remained alone, and he no longer had the One who would diffuse in his will the light, the varieties of so many fragrances that, being transfused outside, preserved the soul and the body, as it had been created by God.  Instead, thick clouds, putrid air, perfumes of weakness and of miseries began to emanate from within the human will, in such a way that the body also lost its freshness, its beauty.  It became debilitated and remained subject to all evils, sharing in the evils of the human will, just as it had shared in the good.  So, if the human will is healed by giving it again the life of My Divine Will, as though by magic, all the evils of the human nature will have life no more.  …”

… And I was praying Jesus to teach me how to find It in all things, so that Its perennial Life would never be lacking in me.

And my highest Good, Jesus, with all goodness, told me: “My daughter, one who does My Will and lives in It forms in her soul the Book of the Divine Fiat. But this Book must be full, not empty or with only a few pages written; if it is not full, she will soon finish reading it, and having nothing to read, she will occupy herself with something else, and therefore the Life of My Divine Will will be interrupted and as though broken in the creature. On the other hand, if it is full, she will have always something to read; and if it seems that it ends, I will add other pages more sublime, so that she may never lack the life, the knowledge ever new, and the substantial nourishment of My Divine Volition.

“So, the interior must be like many pages in order to form this Book: page the intelligence, page the will and the memory, page the desire, the affection, the heartbeat, page the word, that must be able to repeat what it read, otherwise it will remain like a book that will do good to no one, while for one who forms a book the first purpose is to propagate it. So, the whole interior must be written with pages of My Divine Will, and this Book must be so full, that she must be unable to find anything else to read but My Will alone. Now, when the soul has her interior book full, she will know very well the external Book of the Divine Will.

All of Creation is nothing other than a book of It; each created thing is a page that forms an immense book, and of many volumes. So, having formed her interior book and read it thoroughly, she will be able to read very well the external Book of all Creation, and in all things she will find My Divine Will in act of giving her Its Life, Its lessons, most high and sublime, and Its delicious and holy food. …”

“… And when, wanting to scrutinize Me also, Pilate asked Me:  ‘Are You king? And where is your kingdom?’ I wanted to give another sublime lesson by saying:  ‘I am King.’  And I wanted to say:  ‘But do you know what My Kingdom is?  My Kingdom is My Pains, My Blood, My Virtues.  This is the true Kingdom which I possess, not outside of Me, but within Me.  What one possesses on the outside is not a true kingdom, nor a safe dominion, because that which is not inside of man can be taken away, usurped, and he will be forced to leave it.  But that which he has inside, no one will be able to take away from him — its dominion will be eternal within him.  The characteristics of My Kingdom are My Wounds, the thorns, the Cross.  I do not act like the other kings who make their peoples live outside of them, unsafe, and eventually, even starving.  Not Me — I call My peoples to dwell inside the rooms of My Wounds, fortified and sheltered by My Pains, their thirst quenched by My Blood, their hunger satisfied by My Flesh.  This alone is true Reigning; all other reigns are reigns of slavery, of dangers and of death, while in My Reign there is True Life.’

“How many sublime teachings, how many profound mysteries in My Words.  Each soul should say to herself, in pains and in sufferings, in humiliations and in abandonments by all, and in practicing true virtues:  ‘This is my kingdom, which is not subject to perishing.  No one can take it away from me or touch it.  On the contrary, my kingdom is eternal and divine, similar to that of my sweet Jesus.  My sufferings and pains certify it for me and render my kingdom more fortified and fierce, in such a way that, in the face of my great strength, no one will be able to wage battle against me.’  This is the Kingdom of Peace, to which all My children should aspire.”

This morning, after Communion, I was saying to my always adorable Jesus: “To what a state I reduced myself! It seems that everything runs away from me: suffering, virtues - everything!”

And Jesus: “My daughter, what’s this? Do you want to waste time? Do you want to get out of your nothingness? Stay in your place — in your nothingness — so that the All may keep Its place in you. But know that you must die completely in My Will: to the suffering, to the virtues — to everything. My Will must be the tomb of the soul. Just as nature is consumed in the tomb to the extent of disappearing completely, and by that consummation it will rise again to a new and more beautiful Life, in the same way the soul, buried in My Will as if inside a tomb, will die to the suffering, to her virtues, to her spiritual goods, and will rise again in everything to Divine Life.

"Ah, my daughter, it seems that you want to imitate the mundane, who tend to what is temporal, and ends, while they don’t consider what is eternal. My beloved, why don’t you want to learn to live only in My Volition? Why don’t you want to live the life of Heaven while still being on earth? My Will is Love, the One that never dies; therefore My Will must be your sepulcher, and Love is the lid which has to lock you and seal you in, giving you no more hope of getting out.

“Then, every thought that regards oneself, even about virtues, is always gain for oneself and runs away from the Divine Life; while if the soul thinks only about Me and what regards Me, she takes the Divine Life in herself and, taking the Divine Life, she escapes the human life, taking all possible goods. Have we understood each other?”

This morning, as I was very afflicted because of the loss of my adorable Jesus, all of a sudden He made Himself seen in my interior, filling my person completely – that is, my head, my arms, and all the rest. As I was seeing this, almost wanting to explain to me the meaning of the way He was making Himself seen, He told me: “My daughter, why do you afflict yourself if I am the Master of all of you? When a soul comes to rendering Me the Master of her mind, of her arms, of her heart and of her feet, sin cannot reign; and if something involuntary enters into her, since I am the Master and the soul is under the influence of My Lordship, she is in continuous attitude of purgation, and that something immediately goes out of her. Furthermore, since I Am Holy, it is difficult for her to retain within herself anything which is not holy. Even more, since she has given all of herself to Me in life, it is justice that I give all of Myself to her at her death, admitting her to the Beatific Vision without delay. So, if one gives herself completely to Me, the flames of Purgatory have nothing to do with her.”
