From the Calendar--July 30, 1927 Volume 22

{Jesus speaking] “… The interior acts are wounds, darts, arrows to the divine bosom, they are celestial messengers that are released from the creature and fly to her Creator, bringing the mark of glory, of love and of pleasing only He who has created her.  

“In fact, who sees, who listens to, who appreciates all the things you do in your interior?  No one.  I alone am witness of them, listen to them and appreciate them.  This is why in Our greatest works We choose souls who, in appearance, show nothing great and marvelous, but interior souls, who are unblemished either by human views, or by the clamorous noise, the glory, the self-esteem that the external works bring.  

“In fact, in Redemption We choose a simple Virgin, without external splendors, but She had her interior speaking, and was able to say so much, one on one with Her Creator, as to conquer Him and obtain Redemption.  Now, We have done the same for the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat:  We have chosen another one, all interior, who will say much, and will pray God to concede the longed for Kingdom.  

“The external acts, also good and holy, cannot please Me like the interior acts, because the external ones are almost always impregnated with the air of self-glory, with human esteem, and sometimes times also with blame.  And a poor heart feels within itself the effects of the praises or of the blame, after it has made sacrifices, and what is human enters the field and invests the acts of the creature with its tenebrous air, and therefore they do not reach Me as pure as they should be.  On the other hand, an interior act is neither blamed nor praised by anyone, and what is human has no way in.  Since she does not feel watched by anyone, to the soul herself it seems that she does nothing great, and therefore her acts are all impregnated with celestial air.  Therefore, be attentive, and let your interior always go around in My Will.”
