[Jesus speaking] “What did this necessity to Love that I felt within Me not make Me do? It made Me suffer unheard-of Pains, feel the most humiliating humiliations—and even Death, among atrocious spasms. But Our Passion of Love is not satisfied if We do not let the creature participate in It. Therefore, in the sacrifices that We have her make, We create the holy passion, providing It with flavor and pleasure, to have her make the most beautiful conquests. This passion becomes ingenious, finding a thousand new forms, and it seems It cannot remain or Live without being operative. If there is not a passion and taste for sacrifice—even in holy works—it seems that these works are just painted—not alive; they have a coldness and an apathy that produce more disgust than savor, and maybe more evil than good. Therefore, My daughter, don’t be concerned for the sacrifices that others make for you. Actually, I must tell you that they do it for Me, not for you; and I will infuse so much grace, taste and pleasure so as to empty the sacrifice. Then, according to the love with which they will do it, I will pour Myself into them, and as they make that sacrifice wanted by Me, I will make My Life grow within them.
“Isn’t it, perhaps, My Passion of Love that makes Me speak so much about My Will in order to create, in man, the Passion to Live in My Volition? By saying so much, I want to drown the human will with Our Divine Flavors—to the point of making it decide to Live in My Will, by virtue of the taste and Happiness it feels. And then, can’t you, yourself, tell how many flavors, contentments and joys I placed in the sacrificing state in which I put you? So, let it be done by your Jesus, Who knows how to adjust the sacrifice and to make it lovable, easy, and even desirable; more so, since I add the strength, the support and the Life of My own Sacrifice to the sacrifice of the creature. I can say that My Sacrifice takes the sacrifice of the creature on Its lap, becoming Guide, Life and Light for whoever wants to sacrifice himself for Me.”
