Then He [Jesus] added, with even more intense emphasis of Love: “My daughter, Our sighs are so many—so great Our anxiety for the desire to have the creature always with Us, that we want always to give her of Ourselves. But do you know what We want to give her? Our Will. By giving her Our Will there is no Good We do not give to her. So, having her as though drowned in Our Love, Beauty, Sanctity and so forth, We say: ‘We have given you so much, and you—you give Us nothing?’ The creature, confused because she has nothing to give Us—and even if she has something, it is Ours—looks at her will and gives it to Us as the most beautiful homage to her Creator. And do you know what We do? If she gave Us her will in every instant, each time We would give her the merit, as if she had a will for each time she has given it to Us. And We give her Our Will for each time she gave Us her own, Redoubling each time Our Sanctity, Our Love, etc.”
In hearing this, I said: “My dear Jesus, I gain much in receiving the merit each time I give You my will, and having Yours in exchange is the Greatest Gain for me. But what is Your gain?”
And He, with a smile: “To you the merit, and to Me the gain of receiving all the Glory of My Divine Will. And each time I give It to you, My Divine Glory, which I receive through the creature, is doubled, multiplied—increased a hundredfold. Then I can say: ‘She gives Me all, and I give her All.’”
