Divine Will for every day of the year - January 8, 1908 Volume 8

Having received Communion, at the best moment I was thinking of how I could cling to blessed Jesus more then ever, and He said to me: “In order to cling more tightly to Me, to the point of dissolving your being in Mine, just as I transfuse Mine into yours, you must take what is Mine in everything, and in everything leave what is yours; in such a way that if you always think of things which are holy and regard only what is good, and the honor and glory of God, you leave your mind and take the Divine. If you speak, if you operate good, and only out of love for God, you leave your mouth and your hands, and you take My Mouth and My Hands. If you walk along holy and upright paths, you will walk with My own Feet; if your heart loves Me alone, you will leave your heart and will take Mine, and will love Me with My own Love; and so with all the rest. So, you will be enveloped with all My Things, and I with all of yours. Can there be a tighter union than this? If the soul reaches the point of no longer recognizing herself, but the Divine Being within her, these are the fruits of good Communions, and this is the Divine Purpose in wanting to communicate Himself to souls. But, how frustrated My Love remains, and how few are the fruits that souls gather from this Sacrament, to the point that the majority of them remains indifferent, and even nauseated by this Divine Food.”

… So my sweet Jesus, surprising me, told me:  “My daughter, My Will has surprising and different Ways of acting, and It acts according to the dispositions of the creatures.  Many times It makes known what It wants, but It leaves the doing and the not doing at the disposition of creatures, and this is called Wanted Will.  Other times, to the Wanting Will, It adds the Commanding, and gives double Graces in order to make the Command followed.  And this is for all Christians, not doing it means to not even be Christians.  Another way is Operative, It descends in the act of the creature and works as if the act of the creature were Its own, and therefore as Its act It places there Its Life, Its Sanctity, Its Operative Virtue.  But in order to arrive at this, the soul must be accustomed to the Wanted and Commanded Will.  This prepares the void in the human act in order to receive the Operating Act of the Divine Fiat.  

“But It does not stop, the Operating Act calls the Completed Act, and the Completed Act is the holiest, most powerful, most beautiful, most refulgent with Light, Act that My Divine Will can do.  And being a Completed Act of It, all that It has done becomes enclosed in this Act in a way that one sees the sky, the sun, the stars, the sea, the Celestial Beatitudes, everything and everyone, flow and enclosed in it.” …

This morning I received Communion, and as I found myself together with Jesus, the Queen Mama was also there, and – oh, marvel! – I looked at the Mother and I could see Her Heart transmuted into Baby Jesus; I looked at the Son and I could see the Mother in the Heart of the Baby.  In the meantime, I remembered that today is the Epiphany, and in the example of the Holy Magi, I was to offer something to Baby Jesus, but I saw myself as having nothing to give Him.  So, in seeing my misery, the thought came to me of offering my body as myrrh, with all the sufferings of the twelve years in which I had been in bed, ready to suffer and to remain there as much longer as He pleased; as gold, the pain I feel when He deprives me of His presence, which is the most painful and sorrowful thing for me; as incense, my poor prayers, united to those of the Queen Mama, so that they might be more pleasing to Baby Jesus.  So I made the offering with full confidence that the Baby would accept everything.

Jesus seemed to accept my poor offerings with great pleasure, but that which He enjoyed the most was the confidence with which I had offered them.  Then He said to me:  “Confidence has two arms:  with one it embraces My Humanity, and it uses My Humanity as a staircase in order to ascend to My Divinity; with the other it embraces the Divinity and draws Celestial Graces in torrents, in such a way that the soul remains all inundated within the Divine Being.  When the soul is confident, she is certain to obtain what she asks.  I let My Arms be bound, I let her do whatever she wants, I let her penetrate even into My Heart, and I let her take, by herself, that which she has asked from Me.  If I did not do so, I would feel Myself in a state of violence.”  While He was saying this, many rivulets of a liqueur (I call it ‘liqueur’, but I can’t really tell what it was) came out from the breast of the Baby and of the Mother, which inundated my soul completely.  Then the Queen Mother disappeared.

This morning I felt almost free of sufferings. I myself did not know what to do, when I felt I was outside of myself and I saw people from our country who, in addition to the words and the calumnies they had spoken, were plotting to come to deeds. In the meantime I saw blessed Jesus and I said: “Lord, You give too much liberty to these infernal men. Up until now it has been about infernal words, but now they want to reach the point of laying hands on your ministers. Bind them, and have compassion on them, and, at the same time, defend those who belong to You.” And He: “Daughter, this freedom is necessary in order to recognize the good and the evil. Know, however, that I am tired of man – so tired that I share it with you. In fact, when you feel that tiredness of this state of victim, and almost the will to go out of it, this comes to you from Me; and I warn you to be attentive not to put your will in, for I am looking for the will of the creature to lean on it and chastise the rebels. But, let us try – again I will make you suffer, and they will be left without strength and will not be able to do anything of what they want.” Who can say what I suffered and how many times He renewed my crucifixion! And while doing this, raising His hand toward Heaven, He told me: “My daughter, I did not make man for the earth, but for Heaven; his mind, his heart, and everything that his interior contains were to exist in Heaven. Had he done this, he would have received the influence of the Most Holy Trinity within his three powers, and It would have been copied within himself; but since he occupies himself with earth, he receives mud, rot and the whole bilge of vices that the earth contains.”

Continuing in my usual state, I was all afflicted because of the privation of my sweet Jesus. However, I tried to remain united with Him doing the Hours of the Passion. I was just at the hour of Jesus on the Cross when, at the summit, I felt Him in my interior, joining His hands and saying with articulate voice: “My Father, accept the sacrifice of this daughter of Mine — the pain that she feels because of My privation. Do You not see how she suffers? Pain makes her almost lifeless, deprived of Me, to the extent that, although hidden, I am forced to suffer together with her in order to give her strength; otherwise she would succumb. O please, Father, accept it, united to the pain which I suffered on the Cross, when I was abandoned even by You; and concede that the privation she feels of Me, be Light, Knowledge, Divine Life in other souls, and all that I Myself pleaded with my abandonment.”

After He said this, He hid again. I felt as if petrified for the pain, and although crying I said: “My life, Jesus – ah!, yes, give me souls. May the strongest bond that forces You to give them to me be the tormenting pain of Your privation. May this pain run within Your Will, so that all may feel the touch of my pain, my incessant cry, and may surrender.”

Then, around evening, blessed Jesus came for just a little, and added: “Daughter and refuge of Mine, what sweet harmony did your pain form today in My Will! My Will is in Heaven, and since your pain was in My Will, it harmonized in Heaven, and with its cry it asked the Sacrosanct Trinity for ‘Souls!’ And as My Will was flowing in all the Angels and Saints, your pain asked them for ‘Souls!’ — to the extent that all remained struck by your harmony, and together with your pain they all cried out before My Majesty: ‘Souls, souls!’ My Will flew in all creatures, and your pain touched all hearts, and cried out to all of them, ‘Be saved, be saved!’ My Will centralized Itself in you, and like a refulgent sun, It placed Itself on guard for all, in order to convert them. See what great good — yet, who takes the care to know the value, the incalculable price of My Volition?”

Continuing in my usual state, I saw blessed Jesus for just a little, and He told me: “My daughter, if one fears much, it is a sign that she relies much on herself, because in noticing nothing but weaknesses and miseries within herself, she naturally and justly fears. On the other hand, if one fears nothing, it is a sign that she relies on God, because by relying on God, her miseries and weaknesses are dissolved in God, and as she feels invested by the Divine Being, it is no longer she who operates, but God within her. So, what can she fear? Therefore, true trust reproduces Divine Life in the soul.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 2, 1923 Volume 15

I was praying and abandoning all of myself in the arms of the Most Holy Will of God, and my always lovable Jesus, coming out from my interior and taking my hand, told me:  “My daughter, come with Me and look at the great void which exists between Heaven and earth.  Before My Fiat was pronounced, this great void was horrible to the sight.  Everything was disorder; no separation of land, of water, or of mountains could be seen – it was one heap that struck fright.  But as soon as my Fiat was pronounced, all things rolled about, bumping against one another, and each of them took its place, remaining all ordered with the imprint of My Eternal Fiat; nor can they move if My Fiat does not want it.  The earth no longer struck fright; on the contrary, as one sees the vastness of the seas, their waters no longer muddy but crystal clear, their sweet murmuring, as if the waters were voices speaking softly and quietly among themselves, their roaring waves which sometimes rise so high as to make mountains of water appear, which then fall back again into the same sea — how much beauty does this not contain?  How much order — and how much attention does it not earn from creatures?  And then, the earth, all green and flowery — how much variety of beauty does it not contain?  But this was nothing yet.  The void was not completely filled; and just as My Fiat hovered over the earth and separated things and ordered the earth, in the same way, hovering up high, It extended the heavens, It adorned them with stars, and in order to fill the void of darkness, It created the sun which, dispelling darkness, filled this great void with light and made all the beauty of all Creation stand out.  But what was the cause of so much good?  My Omnipotent Fiat.  However, this Fiat wanted a void in order to create this machine of the universe.

“Now, My daughter, do you see this great void in which I created so many things?  Yet, the void of the soul is even greater.  The former was to serve as the dwelling of man; the void of the soul was to serve as the dwelling of a God.  I was not to pronounce My Fiat for six days, as in creating the universe, but for as many days as the life of man contains — and so many times for as many as, putting his own will aside, he would let Mine operate.  Therefore, since My Fiat was to do more things than It did in Creation, more space was needed.  But do you know who gives Me free field in order to fill this great void of the soul?  One who lives in My Will.  My Fiats are pronounced repeatedly; every thought is accompanied by the power of My Fiat, and – oh! how many stars adorn the heaven of the intelligence of the soul.  Her actions are followed by My Fiat, and – oh! how many suns rise within her.  Her words, invested by My Fiat, are sweeter than the murmuring of the waters of the sea, in which the sea of My Graces flows in order to fill this great void, and My Fiat delights in forming waves that rise up high, beyond Heaven, and descend again, more loaded, in order to expand the sea of the soul.  My Fiat blows upon her heart, and of her heartbeats It makes fires of love.  My Fiat leaves nothing out; It invests every affection, and tendencies, desires, and forms in them the most beautiful flowerings.  

“How many things does My Fiat not operate in this great void of the soul who lives in My Will! Oh! how the whole machine of the universe is left behind.  The heavens are astonished; trembling, they watch the omnipotent Fiat operating in the will of the creature, and they feel their happiness being doubled every time this Fiat acts and renews Its Creative Power.  So, they are all attentive around Me, to see when My Fiat is pronounced, in order to receive their double glory and happiness.  Oh! if all knew the power of My Fiat and the great Good It contains, they would all give themselves prey to My Omnipotent Will.  Yet, there is to weep about.  How many souls, with these great voids within themselves, are worse than the great void of the universe before My Fiat was pronounced!  Since My Fiat does not hover within them, everything is disorder, the darkness is so thick as to strike horror and fright.  There is one heap, all mixed together — nothing is in place.  The work of Creation is upset in them, because My Fiat alone is order; the human will is disorder.

“Therefore, My daughter, if you want order within yourself, let My Fiat be the life of everything in you, and you will give Me the great contentment that My Fiat may be able to unfold, putting out the Prodigies and the Goods It contains.”

Being very afflicted because of the privation of my highest and only Good, after much waiting and waiting, finally I saw Him come out from within my heart, crying, and making me understand with His eyes that He was hurting from the wound received in the circumcision.  So He cried and expected me to dry the blood that was pouring from that wound, and to sweeten the pain of the cut.  I felt all compassion and confusion together, so much so that I did not dare to do it; however, drawn by love, I don’t know how I found a little cloth in my hand, and I tried as much as I could to dry the blood of Baby Jesus.  While doing this, I felt I was all full of sin, and I thought that I was the cause of that pain of Jesus.  Oh, how sorry I felt for Him!  I felt absorbed in that bitterness; and the blessed little Baby, compassionating my miserable state, told me:  “The more the soul humiliates herself and knows herself, the closer she draws to the Truth; and being in the Truth, she tries to push herself along the path of virtues, from which she sees herself very far away.  And if she sees herself on the path of virtues, immediately she realizes how much there is left for her to do, because virtues have no end – they are infinite, as I am.  So, being in the Truth, the soul always tries to perfect herself, but she will never arrive at seeing herself perfect.  And this serves her, and it will make her work continuously, striving to perfect herself more, without wasting time in idleness.  And I, pleased with this work, keep retouching her little by little, in order to portray my likeness in her.  

“This is why I wanted to be circumcised – to give an example of highest humility, which rendered the very Angels of Heaven stunned.”  

Divine Will for every day of the year - December, 1907 Volume 8

As I was in my usual state, I found myself with the thought of when blessed Jesus met His blessed Mother on the way to Calvary; and while I was compassionating both one and the other, sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, My Mother went out on the day of My Passion only to be able meet and relieve Her Son. In the same way, for a true loving soul, her intention in all of her actions is only that of encountering her beloved, and of relieving Him from the weight of His Cross. And since human life is a continuous attitude of actions, both external and internal, the soul does nothing but meet her beloved continuously. And will she just meet Him? No, no; she will greet Him, she will embrace Him. She kisses Him, she consoles Him, she loves Him, be it even with a little word said in passing; and He will be satisfied and content. And since the action always contains a sacrifice, if the action is done to encounter the sacrifice contained in it, it will serve to relieve Me from the weight of My Cross. What will be the happiness of this soul who, in her actions, is always in contact with Me? How My Love will grow ever more at each additional encounter she has by means of her acting with Me! But, how few are those who make use of it to find the shortest way in their actions to come to Me, cling to Me, and relieve Me from the many afflictions that creatures give Me!”

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 30, 1908 Volume 8

I was meditating on the mystery of His Infancy, and I said to myself: “My Baby, to how many pains You wanted to subject Yourself! It was not enough for You to come as an adult – You wanted to come as a baby, and suffer from the swaddling clothes, from silence, from the immobility of your little Humanity, of your feet, of your hands… Why all this?”

While I was saying this, He moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, My Works are perfect. I wanted to come as a little infant in order to Divinize all the sacrifices and all the little actions of infancy. So, until children begin to commit sins, everything remains absorbed in My Childhood, and Divinized by Me. When sin then begins, separation begins between Me and the creature — a separation which is sorrowful for Me, and mournful for them.”

And I: “How can this be, if babies do not have reason, and are not capable of deserving?” And He: “First, because I give merit by My Grace; second, because it is not out of their will that they do not want to deserve, but because such is the state of infancy disposed by Me. Besides, a gardener who has planted a plant is not only honored, but he also picks the fruit of it, even though the plant does not have reason; the same for an artisan who makes a statue, and for many other things. Sin alone is that which destroys everything and separates the creature from Me; but everything else, even the most trivial action, comes to the creatures from Me, and to Me it returns, with the mark of the honor of My Creation.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 29, 1928 Volume 25

“…Look at them in the depth of your soul—all of My Knowledges about My Fiat, all in Order and Harmony; and one is Heaven, and speaks, and forms another heaven; another is Sun, and speaks, and while it makes itself light and it warms, it forms another sun.  Another is Sea, and forms its speaking waves; and while it speaks, it forms another sea, to invest the whole world with its speaking waves, and to impose itself with Its Creative Word so as to make itself listened to, in order to bring the new sea of Peace and of Joy of My Will into all.  Another is Wind, and now it speaks with its empire in order to knock down the hardest hearts, now it speaks with its caresses so as not to strike fears, now it speaks with loving moans so as to make itself loved; and while it speaks, it forms more winds, and its word runs to make known the Life, the Power of My Divine Will.  In sum, all My Knowledges about It are a New Creation, more beautiful, more varied than the Creation Itself—and much more beautiful, because it is a speaking one; and its word is the life of My Divine Will that it brings to the creature.  

“Therefore, I feel happy in your soul because I am in the midst of My speaking Heavens, Stars and Suns; but My Happiness is doubled when you make the sacrifice of writing, because I see that these speaking Heavens will go out, and their word will form New Heavens that will bring the Life of My Divine Fiat into the midst of creatures.  Then will Heaven no longer be foreign to the earth, because these speaking Heavens will form the New Celestial Family upon earth, and their word will place Creator and creature in communication.  The winds of these knowledges will place the secret Joys of the Most Holy Trinity in common; and as the creature becomes the owner of the Divine Sanctity and Happiness, all evils will disappear, and I will have the joy of seeing the creature happy, just as he came out of Our Creative Hands.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 28, 1917 Volume 12

Continuing in my usual state and being a little in suffering, I thought to myself: “How is it that I cannot find rest, either at night or during the day; rather, the weaker and the more suffering I feel, the more my mind is awake and unable to take rest.” And my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, you do not know the reason, but I do; and now I will tell you. My Humanity had no rest; even in sleep I had no respite, but I worked intensively; and this, because having to give life to everyone and everything, and redo everything within Me, it was convenient for Me to work without stopping for one instant; and one who has to give life, must be in continuous motion and uninterrupted act. Therefore, I was in Continuous Act of letting lives of creatures out of Myself, and of receiving them. Had I wanted to rest, how many lives would not be delivered? How many, without My Continuous Act, would not develop and would remain withered? How many would not enter into Me, because the act of Life of the only One who can give life, is missing? 

“Now, My daughter, since I want you together with Me in My Will, I want your continuous act. Therefore, your awake mind is act, the murmuring of your prayer is act, the movements of your hands, the beating of your heart, the moving of your glances, are acts. They may be small, but what do I care? As long as there is the motion, the seed, I unite them to Mine, I make them great, and I give them the virtue of producing lives.

“My acts too were not all apparently great, especially when, as a little one, I moaned and suckled milk from My Mama, I amused Myself in kissing her, caressing her, entangling My little hands with hers. Then, when I was a little older, I picked flowers, I brought the water, and other things. These were all little acts, but they were united in My Will, in My Divinity – and this was enough. They were so great as to be able to create millions and billions of lives. Therefore, as I was moaning, lives of creatures were coming out from My moans; I suckled, I kissed, I caressed, but lives were coming out. Souls were flowing in My fingers entangled with the hands of My Mama; and as I picked the flowers and brought the water, souls were coming out from the heartbeat of My uncreated Heart, and they entered into It. My Motion was Continuous. 

"This is the reason for your vigil. When I see your motion and your acts in My Will – now placing themselves at My Side, now flowing in My Hands, now in My Voice, in My Mind or in My Heart – I make of them the motion of all, and I give life to each one in My Will, giving them the virtue of My own Acts; and I make them run for the salvation and for the good of all.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 27, 1908 Volume 8

I was meditating on when the Queen Mama would give Her milk to Baby Jesus. I was saying to myself: “What must have passed between the Most Holy Mama and little Jesus in this act?” At that moment, I felt Him move in my interior, and I heard Him say to me: “My daughter, when I suckled milk from the breast of My most sweet Mother, together with milk I suckled the love of Her Heart – and it was more love than milk that I suckled. While suckling, I would hear Her say to Me: ‘I love You, I love You, O Son’; and I would repeat to Her: ‘I love You, I love You, O Mama.’ And I was not alone in this; at My ‘I love You’, the Father, the Holy Spirit and the whole of Creation — the Angels, the Saints, the stars, the Sun, the drops of water, the plants, the flowers, the grains of sand, all of the elements, would run after My ‘I love You’, and repeat: ‘We love You, we love You, O Mother of our God, in the love of our Creator.’

“My Mother could see all this, and would remained inundated. She could find not even a tiny space in which She would not hear Me say that I loved Her. Her love would remain behind and almost alone, and She would repeat: ‘I love You, I love You…’ But She could never match Me, because the love of a creature has its limits, its time, while My love is uncreated, unending, Eternal. The same happens to any soul when she says to me, ‘I love You’; I too repeat to her, ‘I love you’, and with Me is the whole Creation, loving her in My Love. Oh, if creatures comprehended what good and honor they procure for themselves even by just saying to Me: ‘I love You’! This alone would be enough – a God beside them who, honoring them, replies: ‘I love you too.’” 

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 26, 1923 Volume 16

I went through most bitter days because of the privation of Jesus. I felt like a most vile rag which Jesus had put aside because it was disgusting to Him, so dirty as it was. In my interior, I heard say: “In My Will there are no rags, but everything is Life – and Divine Life. A rag is torn, becomes dirty, because it does not contain life; instead, in My Will, which contains life and gives life to all, there is no danger that the soul may be torn to pieces, or even less get dirty.”

Not paying attention to this, I thought to myself: “What beautiful Christmas holidays Jesus is making me spend! It shows how much He loves me!”

And He, moving in my interior, added: “My daughter, for one who does My Will, it is always Christmas. As the soul enters My Will, I am conceived in her act; as she performs her act, I develop My Life; as she completes it, I rise again, and the soul remains conceived in Me, develops her life in Mine, and rises again in My own acts. See, then, how Christmas holidays are for those who, once a year, prepare and place themselves in My Grace, and so they feel something new about My Birth within them. Bur for one who does My Will it is always Christmas: I am born again in each one of her acts. So, would you want Me to be born in you once a year? No, no — for one who does My Will, My birth, My Life, My Death and My Resurrection must be a continuous act, which is never interrupted; otherwise, what would be the difference, the immeasurable distance, from the other sanctities?” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 25, 1908 Volume 8

Finding myself in my usual state, I was longing for little Baby Jesus, and after many hardships, He made Himself seen in my interior as a little Baby, and told me: “My daughter, the best way to make Me be born in one’s own heart, is to empty oneself of everything, because in finding empty space, I can place all my goods in it. And only then can I remain in it forever, if there is room to be able to carry all that belongs to Me, all that is my own. A person who went to live in the house of someone else, could be called happy only if he found empty space in which to be able to put all of his belongings; otherwise, he would be unhappy. So I am.

“The second thing in order to make Me be born and to increase my happiness, is that everything the soul contains, both internal and external - everything, must be done for Me; everything must serve to honor Me, to execute my orders. If only one thing, one thought, one word, is not for Me, I feel unhappy, and while I should be the master, they make Me a slave. Can I tolerate all this? 

“The third one is heroic love, magnified love, love of sacrifice. These three loves make my happiness grow in a marvelous way, because they render the soul capable of works which are superior to her strengths, as she does them with My strength alone. They will expand her, by making not only her, but also others love Me. And she will reach the point of enduring anything, even death, in order to triumph in everything, and be able to say to Me: ‘I have nothing else; everything is only love for You.’ In this way, she will not only make Me be born, but will make Me grow, and will form a beautiful paradise in her heart.”

As He was saying this, I looked at Him, and from little, in one instant He became big, in such a way that I remained completely filled with Him. Then everything disappeared.

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 24, 1924 Volume 17

… Now, while I was in this state, I felt I was outside of myself, within a most pure light; and in this light I could see the Queen Mama and the Little Baby Jesus inside Her virginal womb. O God! In what a sorrowful state was my adorable Little Baby! His little Humanity was immobilized; His little feet and hands were immobile, without the slightest movement. There was no space, either to open His eyes, or to breathe freely. His immobility was such that He seemed to be dead, while He was alive. I was thinking to myself: “Who knows how much my Jesus suffers in this state! And how much His beloved Mama suffers, in seeing Baby Jesus so immobilized within Her own womb!”

Now, while I was thinking of this, my Little Baby, sobbing, said to me: “My daughter, the pains I suffered in this virginal womb of My Mama are incalculable to the human mind. But do you know what was the first pain which I suffered in the first act of My Conception, and which lasted for all of My life? The pain of death. My Divinity descended from Heaven as fully happy, intangible by any pain and by any death. When I saw My little Humanity being subject to pain and to death for Love of creatures, I felt the pain of death so vividly, that I really would have died of pure pain, if the power of My Divinity had not sustained Me with a prodigy, making Me feel the pain of death and the continuation of life. So, for Me it was always death: I felt the death of sin, the death of good within the creatures, and also their natural death. What a cruel torment this was for Me, for all of My Life! I, who contained Life and who was the absolute lord of Life itself, had to subject Myself to the pain of death. Don’t you see My little Humanity immobile and dying in the womb of My dear Mama? And don’t you yourself feel how hard and excruciating is the pain of feeling like dying, without dying? My daughter, it is your living in My Will that makes you share in the continuous death on My Humanity.”

So, I spent almost the whole morning close to my Jesus, inside the womb of my Mama, and I saw that, as He was in the act of dying, He regained life, to abandon Himself to death again. What pain, to see Baby Jesus in that state! …

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 23, 1921 Volume 13

I felt all immersed in the Divine Will, and my sweet Jesus, on coming, told me: “Daughter of My Volition, as you operate and live in My Will, you make more new acts come out from within My Will, and you give Me the field for New Works, New Love and New Power. How happy I feel, that the creature, by living in My Will, gives Me the field to act! On the other hand, one who does not live in My Will bends My Arms and renders My Will useless for her, while My Being is led to motion and to work by the irresistible Force of My Love. Only one who lives in My Will gives Me free field, and I animate even the tiniest acts of My Divine Will; I do not disdain to place the seal of Divine Virtue even on the lowest things. This is why I love so much one who lives in My Will, and I surround each of her acts with so much grace, with such dignity and decorum: because I want the honor and the glory of My Divine Work. Therefore, be attentive, and think well that if all that you do, you do not do in My Will, you will give uselessness to your Jesus. Ah, if you knew how idleness weighs on Me, how it saddens Me — you would be more attentive, wouldn’t you?”

Then, after this, I was about to close my eyes to sleep, and I said to myself: “My sleep too in Your Will. Even more, may my breath be transformed into Yours, so that all that Jesus did while sleeping, I may do as well. But then, did my Jesus really sleep?” And Jesus came back and added: “My daughter, My Sleep was extremely brief, but I did sleep. However, I did not sleep for Myself, but for creatures. As the Head, I represented the whole human family, and I had to lay My Humanity over all in order to give them rest. I could see all creatures covered with a mantle of disturbance, of struggles, of restlessness — some were falling into sin and remained saddened; some were dominated by tyrannical passions which they wanted to conquer, and remained disturbed; some wanted to do good and struggled in order to do it.... In sum, there was no peace, because True Peace is possessed when the will of the creature returns into the Will of its Creator, from which it came. Outside of the center, shifted from the origin, there is no peace. Therefore, while sleeping, My Humanity laid Itself over all, wrapping them as though within a mantle, just like the hen, when it calls its chicks under its maternal wings to make them sleep. In the same way, extending over all, I called all of My children under My wings, to give to some forgiveness of sin, to some victory over passions, to some strength in the fight; to give peace and rest to all. And in order not to strike fear in them, but to give them courage, I did this while sleeping. Who would fear someone who is sleeping?

“Now the world has not changed; rather, it is amid struggles more than ever, and therefore I want someone who sleeps in My Will, so as to repeat the effects of the sleep of My Humanity.” Then, with an afflicted tone, He repeated: “And My other children — where are they? Why don’t they all come to Me, to receive Rest and Peace? Let us call them, let us call them together.” And it seemed that Jesus would call them by name — one by one. But few were those who came.

Continuing in my usual state, I saw various priests before my mind; and blessed Jesus was saying: “In order to be able to operate great things for God, it is necessary to destroy self-esteem, human respect and one’s own nature, so as to live again of Divine Life, and take into consideration only the esteem of Our Lord and that which regards His Honor and His Glory. It is necessary to crush, to pulverize that which is human in order to be able to live of God. And here is how, not you, but God Himself will speak and operate in you, and the souls and the works entrusted to you will produce splendid effects, and you will receive the fruits which you and I longed for – like the works of the reunions of priests which I spoke to you about before. One of these might be able to promote and also carry out this work, but a little bit of self-esteem, of useless fear, of human respect renders him incapable; and when grace finds the soul surrounded by this baseness, it flies and does not stop, and the priest remains a man and operates as a man, and his works have the effects which those of a man can have – not the effects which a priest animated by the spirit of Jesus Christ can have.”

After a long silence, this morning my lovable Jesus interrupted it, saying to me:  “I am the receptacle of pure souls.”  And in these words of His I received intellectual light which made me comprehend many things about purity, but I can repeat little or nothing with words, of that which I feel in my intellect.  However, most honorable Lady Obedience wants me to write something, even nonsense, and to make her content I will speak my nonsense about purity.

It seemed to me that purity is the noblest gem that the soul can possess.  The soul who possesses purity is invested with candid light, in such a way that blessed God, in looking at her, finds His very image; He feels drawn to love her, so much so, that He reaches the point of becoming enamored with her, and He is taken by so much love that He gives her His Most Pure Heart as dwelling, because only that which is pure and most clean enters into God; nothing stained can enter that most pure bosom.  The soul who possesses purity maintains within herself her original splendor which God gave her in creating her; nothing is disfigured or disennobled in her; rather, like a queen aspiring to her wedding with the Celestial King, she preserves her nobility until this noble flower is transplanted into the celestial gardens.  Oh, how this virginal flower is fragrant of a distinct odor!  It always rises above all other flowers, and even above the very Angels.  How it stands out with varied beauty!  So, all are taken by esteem and love, and give it free step, to let it reach its Divine Spouse, in such a way that the first place around Our Lord belongs to these noble flowers.  And Our Lord greatly delights in strolling in the midst of these lilies which perfume the earth and Heaven; and He delights even more in being surrounded by these lilies because, He being the first noble lily and the model, He is the specimen of all the others.  

Oh, how beautiful it is to see a virgin soul!  Her heart gives off no other breath but that of purity and of candor; it is not even shaded by any other love which is not God, and even her body gives off fragrance of purity.  Everything is pure in her:  pure in her steps, pure in operating, in speaking, in looking, and also in moving.  So, at the mere sight of her one feels the fragrance and recognizes a soul who is truly pure.  What charisms, what graces, what mutual love and loving stratagems between this soul and her Spouse Jesus!  Only one who experiences them can say something.  One cannot even narrate everything, and I don’t feel it is my duty to speak about this, therefore I keep silent and I move on.

I was thinking of the tears that Baby Jesus shed at His birth, and I said to myself:  “How bitter these tears must have been for Him; how they must have now frozen, now burned that tender face.  In fact, from what I know, tears have two effects depending on the reason for which they are shed:  if their cause comes from love, they burn and make one sob; if then they are produced by sorrow, they are ice-cold and make one shiver.  For my royal little Baby there was Intense and Infinite Love, and endless Sorrow; so, His Tears must have cost Him very much.”  Now, while I was thinking about this, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior, and showed His face wet with tears – but so many, that one flowed after the other, to the point of wetting His chest and His hands.  And, sighing, He said to me:  “My daughter, My tears began from the very first instant of My Conception in the womb of My Celestial Mama, up to My last breath on the Cross.  The Will of My Celestial Father entrusted to Me also the task of tears, and I was to shed so many of them from My eyes, for as many as all creatures together would shed.  Just as I conceived all of their souls within Me, so was I to shed all of their tears from My eyes.

“See, then, how much I had to cry.  I had to shed from My eyes the tears which creatures shed out of passion, so that Mine might extinguish their passions.  I had to shed the tears which are needed after sin, to give them the sorrow for having offended Me and the conviction of the evil they had done, preparing, with My Tears, the resolution not to offend Me any more.  I had to shed the tears in order to move souls to compassion, to make them comprehend the pains of My Passion; and I also shed abundant tears of Love, in order to electrify souls to love Me, to draw their sympathy and their hearts, all for Me.  It is enough to tell you that there is not one tear that arises on the human eye, which I did not shed from My Eyes.  No one knew of My many Tears, of My much Crying, hidden and secret.  How many times, even as a tender Child, I flew from earth up to Heaven, and leaning My little head upon the knees of My Celestial Father, I cried and cried, and, sobbing, I said to Him:  ‘My Father, You see, I am born in the world to tears and to sorrow, just like My brothers, who are born to tears, and die amidst crying.  And I love these brothers so much, that I want to shed all of their tears from My Eyes.  Not even one do I want to let escape, so as to give to their tears, Tears of Love, of Sorrow, of Victory, of Sanctification and of Divinization.’  How many times My dear Mama, in looking at Me, was pierced in seeing Me all wet with crying; and because of the pain of seeing Me cry, She united Her tears to Mine, and we cried together.  And sometimes I was forced to hide Myself to give vent to crying, so as not to always pierce Her Maternal and innocent Heart.  Other times, I waited for the moment when My Celestial Mama, out of necessity, had to occupy Herself with housework, to give vent to My Tears, in order to complete the number of tears of all creatures.”

On hearing this, I said to Him:  “My Love, Jesus, so, your eyes have shed also my tears, as well as those of our first father Adam.  And I want You to pour them upon my soul, to give me the grace not only to do your Most Holy Will, but to possess It as my own thing and my own will.”  At that moment, Jesus shook His head, and from His face tears flowed onto my poor soul…
