… Then, I began to feel Him move in my interior, like rising sun; and He said to me: “My daughter, whenever I speak, a Life comes out of Me—the greatest gift. And I must see whether there is disposition on the part of creatures, so as to place this Life of Mine in them; and not seeing it, I am forced to remain silent, because there is no place in which to put this great gift. This is the reason why many times I do not speak. In fact, what regards My Divine Fiat is not only for you, but will serve other creatures; at most, It forms Its capital in you, in order to transmit it for the good of others.
“So, while I keep silent, you pray that the Kingdom of My Will be known, and you suffer because you see yourself without Me, your Life. To live without life is the greatest martyrdom. These pains and these prayers mature the gift, and while they make Me open My mouth to issue the new life that regards My Divine Will, they dispose creatures to receive It. These pains are more than sun’s rays, that mature the fields, the fruits, the flowers. Therefore, everything is necessary—silence, pains, prayers—for the decorum of the manifestations of My Will.”
