From the Calendar--October 1, 1925 Volume 18

I was accompanying the pains of the Passion of my sweet Jesus according to my usual way, and I offered the very privation of Him and the torture it caused me, as attestation of my sorrowful love, for His relief and as compassion for His pains. Now, while I was doing this, my beloved Good moved one arm within my interior, raising His right hand and letting rivulets of blood and of light flow from His fingers over my poor soul, which was withered and burned by the powerful blowing of His privation — and with such sadness that Jesus Himself was shaken; and moved to compassion, wanting to cheer me, He said to me: “My daughter, courage, do not fear. One who lives in My Will is in the center of My Humanity, because the Divine Will is in Me like the sun within its sphere: even though the rays invade the earth, it never departs from up high, from its center; it remains always encircled within its sphere, in its majestic throne; and while its light reaches everywhere, dominating everything, everything serves as its footstool, as all await its beneficial light. So was My Divine Will within Me – like center in the sphere of My Humanity; and from My sphere started the light, reaching everyone and every place. This had been the first act of man — to reject My Supreme Will; therefore it was appropriate for My Humanity to take the first step toward It, centralizing this Eternal Will within Me, as center of life, and bringing It to man once again, through My life, My works and pains, so that he might return to his Creator, placing himself in the order for which he had been created.

“Do you see, then, My daughter? The soul who lives in My Will is in the center of My Humanity, and everything I did and suffered is all around her, and for her help. If she is weak, it administers to her My strength; if shaded, My blood washes her and embellishes her; My prayers sustain her; My arms hold her tightly and cover her with My works. In sum, everything is for her defense and help. This is why the thought of My pains is as though natural in you – because, since you live in My Will, they surround you like many clouds of light and of grace. Within the sphere of My Humanity, My Will placed My works, My steps, My words, My blood, My wounds, My pains, and everything I did, as though on the way, in order to call man and give him sufficient aids and means to save him and to make him come back again into the womb of My Will. If My Will had wanted to enter the field on Its own in order to call man, he would have been frightened. Instead, I wanted to call him with everything I did and suffered, like many enticements, pushes, encouragements and means, to make him return into My arms. So, everything I did and suffered is the carrier of man to God. Now, one who lives in My Will, by living in the center of My Humanity, takes all the fruits of everything I did and suffered, and enters the order of Creation; and My Will fulfills in him the full purpose for which he was created. Others, then, who do not live in My Will, find the means to be saved, but do not enjoy all the fruits of Creation and of Redemption.”
