Divine Will for every day of the year - May 8, 1927 Volume 21

After this, I continued my acts in the Divine Will, and my sweet Jesus added: “My daughter, one who lives in My Will has within herself this Divine Will dominating and reigning. The soul is the possessor of It, she holds It in her power; and while she possesses the Divine Will, holding Its Strength, Its Sanctity, Its Light, Its Goods in her power, the Divine Will possesses the soul; and by holding her in Its Power, human weaknesses, passions, miseries and the human will are kept under the unshakeable Power and the Sanctity of the Supreme Will—and before this Power, they feel themselves lose life.

“So, weakness feels conquered by the irresistible Strength of the Divine Fiat; darkness feels conquered by Light; miseries by Its infinite Riches, passions by Its Virtues, the human will by the Divine. What difference between one who Lives in My Will, and one who only does My Will. The first one possesses It and has It at her disposal; the second is submitted It, and receives It according to her dispositions—and between possessing It and receiving It there is as much distance as between Heaven and earth, there is as much distance as between one who possesses immense riches and one who receives, day by day, what is of absolute necessity. Therefore, one who does My Will and does not live in It, is forced to feel weakness, passions, and all the rags and miseries that are the provision of the human will.

“Such was the state of Adam before he withdrew from the Divine Will: It was given to him by His Creator as the greatest Gift, because It contained all Goods as One. He possessed It, dominated It, and was ruler of this Divine Will, because God Himself had given him the right to master It. Therefore, he was master of the Strength, of the Light, of the Sanctity, of the Happiness of this Eternal Fiat. But when he withdrew from It, he lost possession and dominion, and reduced himself to receiving the effects of My Will, according to his dispositions, rather than possessing them as his own; and one who finds himself in the condition of receiving is always poor—he is never rich, because a rich person possesses, does not receive, and is in the condition of being able to give part of his goods to others.”
