Divine Will for every day of the year - July 1, 1923 Volume 15

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Will in order to go around through each creature’s intelligence, and give to my Jesus the return of love of each thought of creature. But while I was doing this, a thought said to me: “What is the good of praying in this way? On the contrary, it seems to me that this is nonsense, rather than prayer.” And my always lovable Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, do you want to know what the good and the effect of it is? When the creature comes to cast the little pebble of her will into the immense sea of My Divinity, as she casts it, if her will wants to love, the infinite sea of the waters of My Love ripple, are agitated, and I feel the waves of My Love giving off their Celestial fragrance, and I feel the pleasure, the joys of My Love being agitated by the little pebble of the will of the creature. If she adores My Sanctity, the little pebble of the human will agitates the sea of My Sanctity, and I feel cheered by the most pure auras of My Sanctity. In sum, whatever the human will wants to do in Mine, it flings itself like a little pebble into each sea of My Attributes, and as it agitates them and ripples them, I feel I am given My own things, and the honors, the glory, the love which the creature can give Me in a Divine manner.

“It happens as to a person who is very rich and has all goods in his house – most fresh founts, fragrant founts, warm founts. Someone else enters into this house, but has nothing to give to that person, because he possesses everything. However, he wants to please him, he wants to love him; and what does he do? He takes a little pebble and casts it into the fresh fount; the waters, being agitated, give off a most delicate freshness, and the lord of that house enjoys the pleasure of the freshness of his own fount; he delights in the very goods he possesses — but why? Because the other one took the care of agitating that fount, since, when things are stirred, they give off the fragrance, the freshness or the heat they contain more intensely. This is what it means to enter into My Will: to stir — to move My Being and to say to Me: ‘Do You see how good, lovable, loving, holy, immense, powerful You are? You are Everything, and I want to move the whole of You in order to love You and to give You pleasure’. And do you think this is trivial?”
