[Luisa speaking] “And why, when You came upon earth, did You not do both things Yourself—that is, the Redemption and the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as it is in Heaven? You had strong and long arms to be able embrace Your endless Will. See, see, O Jesus, mine are weak and short—how can I do that?” And He, again: “Poor little child, you are right. My speaking confounds you, the light of My Will eclipses you and renders you the true newborn of the Supreme Will. Come into My arms, I will swaddle you with the swaddling clothes of My own Will, that It may strengthen your members with Its strength; in this way it will be easy for you to clasp in your little arms that Eternal Will which, with so much love, wants to come and reign within you.”
So I flung myself into His arms, to let Jesus do to me whatever He wanted. Then, again, He added: “I could very well have done both things Myself when I came upon earth, but the creature is not capable of receiving the work of her Creator all at once, and I Myself delight in giving always new surprises of love. And besides, the creature had profaned her taste with her own will; she had caused the breath of her soul to stink with so many ugly things as to be disgusting to Me. She had reached the point of having a taste for the most revolting things, to the point of letting a rotten fluid flow over the three powers of her soul, such that her nobility could no longer be recognized. Therefore, first I had to take care of all this with My Redemption, giving her all the remedies, giving all these evils the bath of My Blood in order to wash them. Had I wanted to do both things, since man was so dirty, blind and deaf, rendered so by his human will, he would not have had the eyes of the intelligence to comprehend My Will, nor the ears to listen to It, nor the heart to receive It. And My Will, not being understood and finding no place in which to dwell, would have turned back to Heaven again. Therefore, it was necessary that man comprehend the goods of Redemption first, so as to dispose himself to comprehend the good of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as it is in Heaven. The same would have happened with you also, if at the beginning, when I began to speak to you, I had spoken to you about My Will: you would not have understood. I would have behaved like a teacher who, instead of teaching the first letters of the alphabet to his disciple, wanted to teach him sciences and foreign languages. Poor boy, he would get confused and would learn nothing. Instead, I wanted to speak to you of suffering, of the virtues—things which are more accessible and more tangible for human nature, and which can be called the alphabet of the Christian life, the language of the exile and of those who aspire to the Celestial Fatherland. On the other hand, My Will is the language of Heaven, and It begins there where all other sciences and virtues end. My Will is Queen which dominates everything and crowns everyone, in such a way that before the Sanctity of My Will all other virtues shrink and tremble. This is why I wanted to act as your teacher of the alphabet first—to dispose your intelligence, to then move on to act as your celestial and divine teacher, who only knows about the language of the Fatherland and of the highest science which My Will contains. First I had to remove from you the taste for anything, because the human will has this poison: it makes one lose taste for the Divine Will. In all created things, since they had come out of Me, I had placed a divine taste; but by doing her will, even in holy things, the soul does not find this taste. So, in order to let you enjoy the taste of My Will alone, I am attentive not to let you taste anything else, that I may dispose you to receive more sublime lessons about My Will. If this was necessary for you, more so for the whole Church, to which I had to make known the minor things first, and then the greatest of all, which is My Will.”
