… Then, I was continuing the fusing of myself in the Divine Will, feeling sorrow for each offense which has ever been given to my Jesus, from the first to the last man who will come upon earth. And while feeling sorrow, I asked for forgiveness. But while I was doing this, I said to myself: “My Jesus, my Love, it is not enough for me to feel sorrow and to ask for forgiveness, but I would like to annihilate any sin, so that You may never – never again be offended.” And Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, I had a special Sorrow for each sin, and upon My Sorrow hung the pardon for the sinner. Now, this Sorrow of Mine is suspended in My Will, waiting for the sinner when he offends Me, so that, as he feels sorrow for having offended Me, My Sorrow may descend to feel sorrow together with his, and immediately grant him forgiveness. But, how many offend Me and do not feel sorrow? So, My Sorrow and forgiveness are suspended in My Will, and as though isolated. Thank you, My daughter, for coming into My Will to keep company with My Sorrow and with My Forgiveness. Please continue to go around in My Will; and making My Sorrow your own, cry out, for each offense: ‘Sorrow! Forgiveness!’ so that I may not be the only One who feels sorrow and impetrates forgiveness, but I may have the company of the little daughter of My Will, who feels sorrow together with Me.”

I was fusing myself in the Divine Will and the thought came to me of commending to It various people in a special way; and blessed Jesus told me: "My daughter, specificity goes by itself even if you should not place any intention. In the order of Grace it happens as in the natural order: the sun gives light to all, yet not everyone enjoys the same effects; however, this is not because of the sun, but because of creatures. One uses the light of the sun in order to work, to be industrious, to learn, to appreciate things; this one makes herself rich, she constitutes herself, and does not go around begging for bread from others. Someone else, then, keeps lazing about, she does not want to meddle in anything, the light of the sun inundates her everywhere but for her it is useless, she wants to do nothing with it. This one is poor and sickly because sloth produces many evils, physical and moral, and if she feels hungry, she needs to beg for someone else’s bread. Now, is the light of the sun perhaps responsible for these two? Or, does it give more to one and less to the other? Certainly not; the only difference is that one takes advantage of the light in a special way, while the other does not. Now, the same happens in the order of Grace which, more than light, inundates souls, and now It makes Itself all voice to call them, voice to instruct them and to correct them; now It makes Itself fire and burns away from them the things of down here, and with Its flames It puts to flight creatures and pleasures from them, and with Its burns It forms pains and crosses in order to give to the soul the shape of sanctity It wants from her; now It makes Itself water, and purifies her, embellishes her and impregnates her completely with Grace. But who is attentive on receiving all these flows of Grace – who corresponds to Me? Ah, too few! And then some dare to say that to these I give Grace for them to make themselves saints, and to others I do not, almost wanting to hold Me responsible, while they content themselves with conducting their lives lazing about, as if the light of Grace were not there for them."
Then He added: "My daughter, I love the creature so much, that I Myself have placed Myself as sentry of each heart to watch them, to defend them and to work their sanctification with My own hands. But to how many bitternesses do they not subject Me? Some reject Me, some do not care about Me and despise Me, some lament about My surveillance, some slam the door in My Face, rendering My Work useless. And I not only placed Myself to act as sentry, but on purpose do I choose the souls who live of My Will. In fact, since they are present in all of Me, I place them with Me as a second sentry of each heart. These second sentries console Me, repay Me for them, and keep Me company in the loneliness into which many hearts force Me; and they force Me not to leave them. Greater grace I could not give to creatures, by giving them these souls who live of My Will, who are the portent of portents."

“… Listen, My daughter, regenerated in My Supreme Volition, to what I want to make of you and in you: I want to repeat that which My Humanity did in the Divine Will, but I want your will united with Mine, so that you may repeat together with Me what I did, and still do. In My Will there are all the acts which My Humanity did, both exterior and interior. Of My exterior acts, it is more or less known what I did; and if the creature wants it, she can unite with Me and share in the good I did. And I feel contentment because I see My Good in the midst of creatures as though multiplied by virtue of the union they form with Me; My Acts are as though placed on a counter, and I collect the interest. On the other hand, little or nothing is known of the interior acts which My Humanity did in the Divine Will for love of all. So, how can the creature unite with Me and share in that good, if she knows neither the Power of this Will, nor how My Soul operated in It, nor what I did? Knowledge brings with itself the value, the effects, the life of that good. …”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 18, 1929 Volume 27
I felt myself in the immensity of the light of the Divine Fiat, and in this light one could see the whole Creation lined up as a birth from It; and wanting to delight in Its Works, it seemed as if It were in the act of creating them and of always making them by preserving them.
And my lovable Jesus, coming out from within my interior in the act of looking at the Creation to glorify Himself by means of His works, told me: “My daughter, how beautiful is Creation—how It glorifies Us, how It magnifies the Power of Our Fiat. It is nothing but one single act of Our Divine Volition, and though many things can be seen, one different from the other, they are nothing but the effects of Its single Act, that never ceases and contains Its continuous Operating act. And since Our Act possesses by nature, as Its own exclusive Property, Light, Immensity, Empire and Multiplicity of innumerable Effects, it is no wonder, then, that as Our Fiat formed Its single Act, from it came out immensity of heavens, most refulgent sun, vastness of sea, ruling wind, beauty of flowering, species of every kind; and power, such that, as if all Creation were a light breath, a little feather, It keeps It suspended, without any support, enclosed only in Its Creative Strength. Oh! Power of My Fiat—how insuperable and unreachable You are!
“Now, you must know that only in the soul in whom My Divine Will reigns, since It reigns in all Creation, what the soul does unites itself to the single Act that My Will does in the Creation, to receive the deposit of all the good that was done in It. In fact, this great machine of the universe was done in order to give It to the creature—but to that creature who would let Our Divine Volition reign. It is right that We do not go out of Our established Purpose, and that the creature recognize and receive Our Gift. But how to receive it if she is not in Our house—that is, in Our Divine Will? She would lack the capacity to receive it and the space in which to contain it. Therefore, only one who possesses My Divine Will can receive it.
“My Will delights with Its single Act, as if It were in the act of creating for Love of her; It makes her feel Its continuous Act of creating the heavens, the sun and everything, and says to her: ‘See how much I love you—only for you I continue to create all things; and to receive the requital from you, I make use of your acts as material in order to extend the heavens, as material of light in order to form the sun; and so with all the rest. The more acts you do in My Fiat, the more material you administer to Me with which to form more beautiful things in you.’ Therefore, let your flight in My Will never stop, and I will take the occasion to always operate in you.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 17, 1925 Volume 18
After two days of most bitter privations of my highest Good, Jesus, I felt Him move in my interior. I seemed to see Him in my interior, sitting, with His head leaning on one side, upon my shoulder; with His mouth turned toward my mouth, in the act of administering the words to me. I clasped Him to myself, and I began to listen to Him, abandoning all of myself in Him. So, it seemed that He was saying to me: “My daughter, My Will is more than food. Food gives strength to the body, it warms it, it increases the blood, it enlivens the intelligence if it is dim, it puts liveliness in all the members, and pushes the creature to new works and sacrifices. On the other hand, one who is on an empty stomach, not giving the necessary food to her body, is weak, cold, lacking in blood, her intelligence dim, exhausted in all of her members; and this leads her to melancholy and pushes her to do nothing, with no desire to sacrifice herself in anything. Poor one, she feels life missing in all of her person; and this is so true that, when an illness is mortal for a creature, she abandons food, and by abandoning food, she disposes herself to death.
“Now, since the Eternal Wisdom has established that the soul too should have food, she was assigned the Supreme Will as delicious Food. So, one who takes this Food is strong in doing good; she is as though soaked with love for her God. This Food increases the Divine Blood in order to form the growth of the Life of God within her. Like sun, it is reflected in her intelligence, to make her know her Creator and be formed in His likeness. It puts liveliness in the whole soul, in order to put all virtues in force, and it pushes her to new works and to sacrifices unheard-of. The Food of My Will gives itself in every instant, at each breath, at night, during the day, in each thing, and as many times as one wants; nor is there any danger, as with corporal food, that in taking too much of it, it may do harm and even produce illnesses — no, no; rather, the more one takes of it, the more it fortifies and raises the soul to the likeness of her Creator. One can remain with one’s mouth always opened, in the act of taking this Celestial Food. All the opposite for one who does not take this Food of My Will. For one who does not take It at all, it can be said that she disposes herself to die eternally. As for one who seldom feeds herself, she is weak and inconstant in good, she is cold in love, she is lacking in Divine Blood, in such a way that the Divine Life grows as though anemic within her. The light of her intelligence is so dim, that she knows little or nothing of her Creator; and not knowing Him, His likeness is so far away from her, for as much as she is far away from the Food of His Will. She is without liveliness in doing good, because she does not have sufficient Food; and now patience escapes her, now charity, now detachment from everything; so, the poor virtues live as though strangled, without enough Food of My Will. Ah! if one could see a soul without this Celestial Food, one would weep over her, so many are the miseries and the rubbish with which she is covered. However, there is more for one to compassionate if one sees a creature starved of corporal food, because many times she lacks the means in order to buy it; but the Food of My Will is given out for free, therefore one who does not take it deserves condemnation; and the condemnation is formed by herself, because she has rejected the Food which gave her life.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 16, 1921 Volume 13
As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made Himself seen, showing all creatures coming out from His Most Holy Humanity; and all tenderness, He told me: "My daughter, look at the Great Prodigy of the Incarnation. As I was conceived and My Humanity was formed, I made all creatures be reborn in Me. So, in My Humanity, as they were being reborn in Me, I felt each one of their distinct acts. In My Mind I contained each thought of creature, both good and evil. The good ones, I confirmed in good; I surrounded them with My Grace, I invested them with My Light, so that, being reborn from the Sanctity of My Mind, they might be worthy parts of My Intelligence. For the evil ones then, I repaired, I made penance, I multiplied My Thoughts to Infinity in order to give to the Father the glory of each thought of creatures. In My Gazes, in My Words, in My Hands, in My Feet, and even in My Heart, I contained the gazes, the words, the works, the steps and the hearts of each one; and being reborn in Me, everything remained confirmed in the Sanctity of My Humanity. Everything was repaired for; and for each offense I suffered a special pain. Then, having made all of them be reborn in Me, I carried them within Me through the whole course of My Life.
“And do you know when I delivered them? I delivered them on the Cross, on the bed of My bitter pains, among atrocious spasms, in the last breath of My Life. As I died, they were born again to new Life, all sealed and marked with the whole work of My Humanity. Not content with having given them new birth, I gave to each one everything I had done so as to keep them sheltered and safe. Do you see what Sanctity man contains? The Sanctity of My Humanity, which could never bring to light unworthy children, dissimilar from Me. This is why I love man so much: he is a birth from Me. But man is always ungrateful, and reaches the point of not recognizing the Father Who delivered him with so much love and pain."
After this, He showed Himself all in flames. Jesus was burned and consumed in those flames, and could no longer be seen – I could see nothing but fire. But then I saw Him being reborn again, to remain once again consumed in fire... Then He added: "My daughter, I am burning — Love consumes Me. The Love, the flames that burn Me are such that I die of Love for each creature. It was not of pains alone that I died — but My deaths of Love are continuous. Yet, there is no one who gives Me his love for refreshment."
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 15, 1926 Volume 20
I was thinking to myself: “In the ‘Our Father,’ Our Lord teaches us to say—to pray:‘Your Will be done.’ Now, why does He say that He wants us to live in It?” And Jesus, always benign, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, ‘Your Will be done’ that I taught in the ‘Our Father’ meant that all were to pray that they might at least do the Will of God. And this is for all Christians and for all times; nor can anyone call himself a Christian if he does not dispose himself to do the Will of his Celestial Father. But you have not thought of the other addition that comes immediately after: ‘On earth as It is in Heaven.’ ‘On earth as It is in Heaven’ means to live in the Divine Will; it means to pray that the Kingdom of My Will may come on earth in order to live in It.
“In Heaven, they not only do My Will, but they live in It—they possess It as their own thing, and as their own Kingdom. And if they did It, but did not possess It, their happiness would not be full, because true happiness begins in the depth of the soul. To do the Will of God does not mean to possess It, but to submit oneself to Its commands, while to live in It is possession. Therefore, in the ‘Our Father’, in the words ‘Your Will be done’ is the prayer that all may do the Supreme Will, and in ‘on earth as It is in Heaven,’ that man may return into that Will from which he came, in order to reacquire his happiness, the lost goods, and the possession of his Divine Kingdom.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 14, 1909 Volume 9
Continuing in my usual state, I seemed to find myself with a baby in my arms; and from one they became three, and I felt all immersed in them. Now, in the morning, when the confessor came, he asked me whether Jesus had come, and I told him what is written above, without adding anything else. The confessor told me: "Didn’t they tell you anything? Didn’t you understand anything?"
And I: “I can’t say it well.” And he continued: "The whole Trinity was here and you can say nothing? You have become more stupid – it shows that these are dreams." And I: “Yes, it is true that they are dreams.” He continued to say other things, and while the confessor was speaking, I felt clasped, so very tightly, by the arms of Jesus, to the point of losing consciousness; and Jesus told me: "Who is it that wants to molest My daughter?" And I: “Father is right; since I am unable to say anything, they have no sign that it is Jesus Christ that comes to me.” And Jesus continued: "I act with you as the sea would with a person who would go and dive into the depth of the sea. I plunge all of you into My Being, in such a way that all of your senses remain inundated; and in such a way, that if you want to speak of My Immensity, Depth and Height, you can only say that it was so great that your sight was lost. If you want to speak of My Delights, of My Qualities, you can say that they are such and so many, that as you went about opening your mouth to count them, you were drowned in them; and so with all the rest. Besides, what is this — I have given no sign that it was I? False. Who has kept you in bed for twenty-two years without breaking you, and with full calm and patience? Has it perhaps been their virtue, or My Virtue? And what about the tests they made during the first years of this state of yours, or making you remain immobile for ten, seven, or eighteen days without taking any of the necessary nourishments. Were they perhaps the ones who maintained you, or was it I?"
Then, since Father had called me, I returned into myself. Then, as the confessor celebrated Holy Mass, I received Communion, and Jesus came back. I lamented to Jesus that He was not coming as before; that the great Love He had for me seemed to have turned into coldness... “It is true that as I lament to You, You always give excuses – that You want to chastise and this is why You do not come; but I don’t believe it. Who knows what evil there is in my soul, and because of it You do not come. Tell me at least, for at any cost, even of giving my life, I will remove it; but without You I cannot be. Think what You want; in this way I cannot go on – either with You on earth, or with You in Heaven.” And blessed Jesus, interrupting me, told me: "Calm yourself, calm yourself, I am not far away from you, but I am always with you. You do not always see Me, but I am always with you; even more, I am in your inmost heart in order to rest, and as you look for Me and bear My privations with patience, you surround Me with flowers to cheer Me and make Me rest more peacefully."
And while He was saying this, it seemed that there were many varieties of flowers around Jesus, which almost concealed Him. Then He added: "You don’t believe that I keep you deprived of Me in order to chastise; yet it is so. When you least expect it, you will hear of the things that will happen." And while saying this, He showed me, in the world, wars, revolutions against the Church, churches on fire – and this was almost imminent.
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 13, 1926 Volume 20
I was fusing all of myself in the Holy Divine Volition, and while I was going around in It, doing my acts, my beloved Jesus moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, each act, prayer and pain that the soul makes enter into the Light of My Will, becomes light and forms one more ray in the Sun of the Eternal Volition. These rays form the most beautiful glory that the creature can give to the Divine Fiat, in such a way that, seeing Itself so glorified by Its own Light, It invests these rays with new Knowledges that, converting into voices, manifest to the soul more surprises about My Will.
“But do you know what these Knowledges of Mine form for the creature? They form the eclipse for the human will. The stronger the light is, the more the rays are, and the more strongly the human will remains dazzled and eclipsed by the Light of My Knowledges; in such a way, that it almost feels impotent to act, and it gives field to the action of the Light of My Will. The human will remains occupied within the Action of My Will, and it lacks the time, the place, to make its own will act.
“It is like the human eye when it stares at the sun: the strength of the light invests the pupil, and lording over it, it renders it impotent to look at other things; but in spite of this, the eye has not lost its vision. It is the strength of the light that has this power: it takes away any other object from one who looks at it, and allows him to look at nothing but light.
“I will never take free willing away from the human will—a great gift, given to man in creating him, that makes creatures distinguishable as to whether they want to be My true children, or not. But, rather, with the Light of the Knowledges about My Will, I will form more than solar rays, and whoever wants to know them and look at them, will be invested by this Light; in such a way that, eclipsed, the human will will take delight and love in looking at this Light, and will feel fortunate that the Action of the Light takes the place of its own. And it will lose love and delight for other things. This is why I am saying so much about My Will—to form the strong Light, because the stronger it is, the greater is the eclipse it forms in order to occupy the human will.
“Look at the sky—it is an image of this. If you look at it at night, you see it studded with stars; but if you look at it during the day, the stars no longer exist for the human eye. However, they are still at their place in the sky, just as at nighttime. Who had this strength to make the stars disappear, though they are present in the full daylight? The sun. With the strength of its light, it eclipsed them, but did not destroy them; and this is so true that, when the sun begins to set, so do they return to make themselves seen in the vault of the heavens. It seems that they are afraid of the light, and they hide to give field to the action of the light of the sun, because, in their mute language, they know that the sun contains more effects of goods for the earth, and it is right that they give field to the great action of the sun; and so, as homage to it, they let themselves be eclipsed by its light. But as the eclipse ends, so do they make themselves be seen—present at their place.
“So it will be between the Sun of the Knowledges about the Supreme Fiat and the human wills that will let themselves be illuminated by these rays of Light of My Knowledges: these will bring the eclipse to the human wills that, in seeing the great good of the action of Its Light, will feel ashamed and afraid to act with the human will, and will give free field to the action of the Light of the Divine Will. Therefore, the more you pray and suffer in It, the more knowledges you draw to be manifested to you, and the stronger the Light becomes, so as to be able to form the sweet eclipse for the human will. In this way, I will be able to establish the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 12, 1930 Volume 28
I am always in my dear and holy inheritance of the Divine Fiat. I feel the extreme need never to go out of It, because my little atom of my existence feels its nothingness and, as nothing, good at doing nothing if the Divine Volition, playing with it, does not fill it with Its All, making it do what It wants. And, oh! how I feel the need for the Divine Will to keep me in Its life, and for me to remain always in It.
Now, I felt I could not live without the Divine Fiat—all fear; and my sweet Jesus, with an unspeakable goodness, told me: “My daughter, do not fear; fear is the scourge of the poor nothing, in such a way that the nothing that is beaten by the whips of fear, feels itself lacking life and losing it. On the other hand, love is the surge of the nothing into the All, such that, as the All fills it with Divine Life, the nothing feels True Life, that is not subject to be lacking, but to always living.
“Now, you must know that the Love that Our Divine Being nurtures toward the creature is so great, that We give her of Our own in order to put her in the condition of being able to compete with her Creator. And so We give her Our Will, Our Love and Our very Life, that she may make It fully her own, so as to fill the void of her nothing and therefore be able to give Us will for Will, love for Love, life for Life. And We, even though We Ourselves have given them, accept them as if they were her own, enjoying that the creature can compete with Us—she, in giving Us, and We, in receiving, to give to her again what she gave Us, that she may always have something to give Us; except for the creature who would not want to receive. Then she feels the void of her nothing, without True Life, without a Divine Will that sanctifies her, without the Love that leads her to love her Creator. And then all evils swoop down upon this nothing, lashes of fear, darkness of terror, rains of all miseries, weaknesses, such that she feels life missing in her. Poor nothing that is not filled with the All.”
Then, I continued to pray, all abandoned in the Sweet Empire of the Divine Will, and my beloved Jesus added: “My daughter, Our Most High Will, in creating man, already established all the acts that all creatures were to do, and constituted Itself life of all these acts. So, there is not one human act that does not have its place in Our Divine Will; and when the creature performs each of her acts, Our Will enters the field of action in the human act of the creature; therefore, all the Power and Sanctity of a Divine Will enter into the act of each of them. Each act entered the order of all Creation, each one taking its place, almost like stars, as each of them has its place under the azure of the heavens.
“And since everything, the whole of mankind with all their acts, was ordered and formed by Our Divine Fiat in Creation, when the creature does an act, the entire order of Creation is moved, and Our Will is in act as if It were then creating the whole Creation. In fact, in Our Will everything is in act, and the act of the creature enters into Its Act, and as it takes its place established by God, the effects of all Creation are renewed, and the human act enters the race of all created things and holds its distinct place in it, and is always in motion within the Divine Motion, to adore and love its Creator. Therefore, the operating of the creature in Our Divine Will can be called the fecund and Divine Field of Our very Will within the little field of the creature.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 11, 1901 Volume 4
After various days of privation and of silence, this morning, as He came, He continued to be silent, and even though I kept Him almost always with me, as much as I tried, I could not manage to have Him speak a single word. He seemed to have something in His interior that embittered Him, so much so, as to render Him taciturn; something which He did not want me to know. Now, while Jesus was with me, I seemed to see the Queen Mama; and upon seeing Jesus with me, She told me: "It is you who keeps Him? Thank goodness He is with you, for if He has to pour out His just fury, if He is with you, you hold Him back. My daughter, pray that He would hold back the scourges, for the evil ones are all ready to come out, but they see themselves bound by a supreme power that prevents them; and even if Divine Justice will permit it, since they would not be able to do it when they please to, there will be this good: they will recognize the Divine Authority over them, and will say: ‘We did this because we were given the power from above.’ My daughter, what a war is being nourished in the moral world – it is horrifying to see it! Yet, the first nourishment that should be sought in society, in families and by each soul, should be that of peace. All other nourishments become unhealthy without it – be they even virtues themselves, charity, repentance; without peace, they bring neither health nor True Sanctity. Yet, this nourishment so necessary and salutary has been discarded by today’s world, and they want nothing but turbulence and wars. My daughter, pray, pray."
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 10, 1938 Volume 36
… After this He [Jesus] added with a Love that I cannot express: “My daughter, the interest that most concerns Us and Our most assiduous Attention is on the soul who Lives in Our Will. We are all eyes over her. It seems that We neither know how, nor can We do anything if We don't extend Our Operating and Creative Virtue over her. Our Love leads Us to watch her to see what she wants to do. If she wants to love Our Creative Virtue, We Create Our Love in the depth of her soul; if she wants to know Us, We Create Our Knowledge; if she wants to be saint, Our Creative Virtue Creates Sanctity. In sum, Our Creative Virtue is ready to Create any Good she wants, so that she can feel in herself the nature and the Life of that Good. We neither can nor do We want to refuse anything to one who Lives in Our Will. It would be as though denying something to Our own Will—denying it to Ourselves. It would be too hard not using Our Creative Virtue for Ourselves. See then, the High, Noble and Sublime Point at which one who is in Our Will Lives. Therefore, be attentive; do not care about anything except Living in It, and you will feel Our Creative and Operating Virtue.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 9, 1921 Volume 13
I was thinking about the act in which Jesus had the Last Supper with His disciples, and my lovable Jesus told me in my interior: "My daughter, while I was having supper with My disciples, I was surrounded not only by them, but by the whole human family. I had all creatures near Me, one by one; I knew them all, and I called them by name. I also called you, and I gave you the place of honor between Me and John, constituting you the little secretary of My Will. And as I divided the lamb, in offering it to My Apostles, I gave it to all and to each one. That lamb, bled dry, roasted, cut to pieces, spoke about Me; it was the symbol of My Life and of how I was to reduce Myself for Love of all. And I wanted to give it to all as delicious food, which represented My Passion, because everything I did, said and suffered was converted by My Love into food for man. But do you know why I called everyone and gave the lamb to all? Because I too wanted food from them. I wanted everything they would do to be food for Me. I wanted the food of their love, of their works, of their words — of everything."
And I: “My Love, how can it be that our works become food for You?” And Jesus: "It is not on bread alone that one can live, but on everything to which My Will gives virtue of making one live. If bread nourishes man, it is because I want it so. Now, whatever the creature disposes with her will to make of her work – that is the form which it assumes. If with her work she wants to form food for Me, she forms food for Me; if Love, she gives Me Love; if reparation, she forms reparation. And if in her will she wants to offend Me, she makes of her work the knife to wound Me, and maybe even to kill Me."
Then He added: "The will of man is that which makes him more like His Creator. In the human will I placed part of My Immensity and of My Power, and giving it the place of honor, I constituted it queen of the whole of man and depository of all of his works. Just as creatures have chests in which they keep their things to maintain them secured, the soul has her will in which to keep and secure all that she thinks, says and does. Not even one thought will be lost. What she cannot do with her eyes, with her mouth, with her works, she can do with her will — in one instant she can will a thousand goods and a thousand evils. The will makes her thought fly up to Heaven, to the farthest places and deep into the abysses. She might be prevented from working, from seeing, from speaking, but she can do all this in her will. Whatever she does and wants, forms an act which remains deposited in her own will. Oh, how the will can be expanded! How much good and how much evil can it not contain? This is why, among all things, I want the will of man: because if I have this, I have everything - the fortress is conquered."
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 8, 1931 Volume 29
My poor mind goes around the Sun of the Supreme Fiat, and I find It surrounded by all the works, sacrifices, pains, heroism, that all the Saints, ancient and new, have done; those of the Queen of Heaven, as well as what Blessed Jesus has done for love of us. The Divine Will preserves everything; It having been the Prime Actor of all the good acts of creatures, It keeps them jealously, It holds them in deposit within Itself, and It uses them to glorify Itself and to glorify those who did them. And I, seeing that everything belonged to the Will of God—since It is also mine, everything was mine; and going around in each act, I offered them as mine to glorify more the Eternal Volition, and to impetrate the coming of Its Kingdom upon earth.
But while I was doing this, my always lovable Jesus, surprising me, told me: “My daughter, listen to the admirable secrets of My Will: if the creature wants to find everything that, beautiful, good and holy, has been done in the whole history of the world by Me, by the Celestial Mama, and by all the Saints, she must enter into the Divine Will—in It everything is found in act. As you were paying attention to each act, remembering it, offering it, the Saint who had done that act, that sacrifice, felt called by the pilgrim soul, and saw his act palpitating again on earth, and therefore, doubled, the glory to his Creator and to himself; and you, who were offering it, covered by the celestial dew of the good of that holy act. And according to the purpose, noble and high, with which it is offered, more intense and great is the glory and the good it produces.
“How many riches does My Will possess! There are all My Acts, those of the Sovereign Queen, that are all in waiting to be called, remembered, offered by the creature in order to duplicate the good for the benefit of creatures, and to give Us double glory. They want to be remembered, called, in order to palpitate as new life in the midst of creatures; but because of lack of attention, there are some that die, some that struggle because of weakness, some that grow numb with cold, some that have nothing with which to satisfy their hunger. Our Goods, Acts and Sacrifices do not set out if they are not called, because by remembering them and offering them, creatures dispose themselves to recognizing them and to receiving the good that Our Acts contain. Moreover, there is no greater honor that you can give to all of Heaven than offering their acts that they did on earth, for the noble, most high and sublime purpose that the Kingdom of the Divine Will come upon earth.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 7, 1930 Volume 28
I was following the Divine Will, and my poor mind was occupied over the many things spoken to me by my sweet Jesus on the Kingdom of His Divine Fiat; and it seemed to me, in my ignorance: “Oh! how difficult is Its realization upon earth, Its reigning and Its triumph in the midst of creatures.”
But while I was thinking this, my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, Redemption is owed to the faithfulness of the Virgin Queen. Oh! had I not found this excelling creature, who denied Me nothing, nor did She ever draw back before any sacrifice; Her firmness in asking for Redemption without ever hesitating, Her faithfulness without ever tiring, Her ardent and strong love without ever stopping; always at Her place, all of Her Creator, without ever moving, whatever thing or incident She might see, on the part of God and on the part of creatures.
“She formed such bonds between Heaven and earth, She acquired such ascendancy, such dominion before Her Creator, as to render Herself worthy of making the Divine Word descend upon earth. In the face of a faithfulness never interrupted, and of Our very Divine Will that held Its Kingdom in Her Virgin Heart, Our strength was not enough for Us to refuse. Her faithfulness was the sweet chain that bound Me and captured Me from Heaven to earth. Here is why, then, what creatures did not obtain in many centuries, they obtained by means of the Sovereign Queen. Ah! yes, She alone was the worthy one who merited that the Divine Word would descend from Heaven to earth, and that She receive the great good of Redemption, in such a way that, if they want to, all can receive the good of being redeemed. Firmness, faithfulness, unshakability in good and in asking for the good known, can be called Divine Virtues, not human, and therefore it would be like denying to Ourselves what the creature asks from Us.
“Now, the same in the Kingdom of the Divine Will: We want to find a faithful soul in whom We can operate, who would bind Us everywhere and in every part of Our Divine Being with the sweet chain of her faithfulness, in such a way that We may find no reason not to give her what she asks from Us. We want to find Our Firmness, the necessary shelf to be able to enclose in her the great good that she asks from Us.
“It would not be decorous for Our Divine works to be entrusted to souls who are inconstant and not disposed to face any sacrifice for Us. The sacrifice of the creature is the defense of Our works, and it is like putting them in a safe place. So, once We have found the faithful creature, and the work comes out of Us to take its place in her, everything is done, the seed is already sown, and, little by little, it geminates and produces other seeds, such that, as they diffuse, whoever wants to, can procure for himself that seed to make it germinate in his soul.
“Does the farmer not do the same? If he has the good of having one single seed, that can be his fortune, he sows it into his field. That seed, by germinating, can produce ten, twenty, thirty seeds, and the farmer no longer sows only one of them, but all those that he has reaped, and he returns to sow them, over again, until he is able to fill all his field; and he reaches the point of being able to give to others the seed of his fortune. Much more can I, Celestial Farmer, do—as long as I find a creature with the field of her soul prepared, in which I can sow the seed of My works. That seed will germinate, and little by little it will make its way; it will make itself known, loved and desired by few, and then by many, that the celestial seed of My Divine Will be sown into their souls.
“Therefore, My daughter, be attentive and faithful; allow that I may sow this Celestial Seed in your soul, and I may find no hindrance to let it germinate. If there is the seed, there is the sure hope that, in germinating, it can produce more seeds. But if the Seed does not exist, all the hopes cease, and it is useless to hope for the Kingdom of My Divine Will; just as it would have been useless to hope for Redemption if the Celestial Queen had not conceived Me as the fruit of Her maternal womb, the fruit of Her faithfulness, of Her firmness and sacrifice. Therefore, let Me do, and be faithful to Me, and I will take care of everything else.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 6, 1909 Volume 9
After I received Communion, my always lovable Jesus came for a little while, and since I had had a discussion with the confessor on the nature of true love, I wanted to ask Jesus whether I was right or wrong, and He said to me: "My daughter, it is exactly like that, as you were saying – that true Love facilitates everything, excludes any fear, any doubt, and all of its art is in taking possession of the beloved; and when it has made her its own, Love itself provides her with the means in order to preserve the object acquired. Now, what fear, what doubt can a soul have about something that belongs to her? What can she not hope for? Even more, when she has come to take possession of it, Love becomes daring and reaches the point of taking excesses up to the incredible. True Love can say: ‘There is no longer yours and mine — I am yours, and you are mine; so, we can dispose of each other, delight in each other, enjoy each other. If I have acquired you, I want to use you as I please.’
“How can the soul, in this state of True Love, go fishing for defects, miseries, weaknesses, if the object acquired has condoned her everything, embellishes her with everything, and the object that she possesses keeps purifying her continuously? These are the virtues of True Love: to purify everything, to triumph over everything, to reach everything. In fact, what love can there be for a person whom one fears, about whom one doubts, from whom one does not hope for everything? Love would lose the best of its qualities. It is true that even in the saints one can see this; and this shows that in the saints love can be imperfect and can have its variety, according to the state in which they find themselves.
“In you the thing is very different: since you should be in Heaven with Me, and you have sacrificed this for love of obedience and of your neighbor, Love has been confirmed in you, the will has been confirmed in not offending Me. Therefore your life is like a life that has already passed, and this is why you do not feel the burden of your miseries. So, be well attentive on what befits you, and on loving Me up to the infinite Love."

Continuing in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself together with Baby Jesus. This time it seemed He felt like playing. He would press Himself against my breast and in my arms, and while looking at me with great Love, now He would clasp me, now He would push me and almost knock against me with His little head, now He would kiss me so strongly that it seemed He wanted to enclose me and identify me with Himself. While He would do this, I would feel great pain — so much so, as to feel faint. But even though He would see me suffer like that He would not pay attention to me; on the contrary, if He would see from my face that I was suffering, since I would not dare to tell Him anything, He would do it harder, and would make me suffer more. Now, after He well gave vent to Himself, He told me: "My daughter, I am your Master, and I can do with you whatever I want. Know that, since you are Mine, you are no longer the master of yourself; and if you arbitrate something, even just one thought, one desire, one heartbeat, know that you are making a theft from Me."
At that moment, I saw the confessor who, not feeling very well, wanted as though to unload his sufferings onto me; and all hurriedly, He pushed him away with His hand, and said: "I have to unload My own pains first, which are many, and then you can do it." And while saying this, He drew near my mouth and poured a most bitter liqueur. Then I commended the confessor to Him, praying Him to touch him with His little hand, and to make him get well. He touched him and said: "Yes, yes." And He disappeared.
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 4, 1925 Volume 18
I was fusing myself in the Most Holy Will of God according to my usual way, and while going around in It to place my ‘I love You’ upon all things, I wished that my Jesus would see or hear nothing but my ‘I love You’, or through this ‘I love You’ of mine. And while repeating the singsong of my ‘I love You’, I thought to myself: “It shows that I am really a little child, who can say nothing but the little story she has learned. And then, what good comes to me by repeating ‘I love You, I love You...’ over and over again?” But while I was thinking of this, my adorable Jesus came out from within my interior, showing my ‘I love You’ impressed everywhere in all of His Divine Person: on His lips, on His face, on His forehead, in His eyes, in the middle of His breast, on the back and in the center of the palms of His hands, on the tips of His fingers – in sum, everywhere. And with a tender tone, He told me: “My daughter, aren’t you happy that none of the ‘I love You’s’ that come out of you go lost, but all remain impressed in Me? And then, do you know what good comes to you by repeating them? You must know that when the soul decides to do some good, to exercise a virtue, she forms the seed of that virtue. By repeating those acts, she forms the water with which to water that seed in the earth of her heart; and the more often she repeats them, the more she waters that seed, and the plant grows beautiful and green, in such a way that it quickly produces the fruits of that seed. On the other hand, if she is slow in repeating, many times the seed remains suffocated; and if it comes out at all, it grows thin and never gives fruit. Poor seed, without enough water in order to grow. My Sun does not rise over that seed, to give it fecundity, maturity and a beautiful color to its fruits, because it is not fecund. On the other hand, by always repeating those same acts, the soul contains much water with which to water that seed; My Sun rises over that seed every time It sees it being watered; and It delights so much, knowing that it has much strength in order to grow, that It makes its branches reach up to Me; and in seeing its many fruits, I pick them with pleasure, and I rest under its shadow.
“So, repeating your ‘I love You’ for Me procures for you the water with which to water and form the tree of love. Repeating patience waters and forms the tree of patience; repeating your acts in My Will forms the water with which to water and form the Divine and Eternal tree of My Will. Nothing can be formed with one single act, but with many upon many repeated acts. Only your Jesus contains the virtue of forming all things, and the greatest things, with one single act, because I contain the Creative Power. But the creature, by dint of repeating the same act, forms the good she wants to do, bit by bit. Through habit, that good or that virtue becomes her nature, and the creature becomes the possessor of it, and it forms all of her fortune. This happens also in the natural order. No one becomes a teacher by having read the vowels and the consonants once or a few times, but by repeating them constantly, to the point of filling his mind, his will and his heart with all that science that is needed in order to be able to be a teacher to others. No one feels satiated if he does not eat, bite after bite, the food that is needed in order be satiated. No one harvests the seeds if he does not repeat, who knows how many times, his work in his little field; and so with many other things. To repeat the same act is a sign that one loves, appreciates and wants to possess that very act which he does. Therefore, repeat, and repeat incessantly, without ever tiring.”

[Jesus speaking]
“…Therefore, keep listening. As soon as the creature will possess Our Volition, all her acts—small and great, human and spiritual—will be animated by My Will, so as to rise between Heaven and earth, investing and braiding together the sky, the sun, the stars and the whole Creation. Then, they will rise even higher and will invest all the Acts of the Queen of Heaven, identifying themselves with them. These acts will have the Power to invest the Acts of Our Divinity, Our Joys and Beatitudes as well as those of all the Saints; and once they’ve enclosed everything within themselves, without leaving anything out, all Victorious, they will present them before Our Divine Majesty, offering them to Us as Complete Acts which lack nothing. O, what a Joy, what a Glory for Us, finding in these Acts the sky, the sun, all the Acts of the Queen of Heaven, the Love with which She Loved Us, Our own Acts, Our Joys and Our Unceasing Love!
“These Acts done in Our Will, Redouble for Us the Glory of Creation; Redouble the Glory and the Love that We received from the Sovereign Queen; Redouble Our Glory and the Glory of all the Saints. It is sufficient to say that Our Will has entered into this, to say everything, and include all. Wherever Our Will enters, It knows how to make a fury of Love and Glory, centralizing Itself in everything. After all, everything is Its Own, so It has the Right over all.
“The Wonders that these Acts, done in My Will, form in the soul are unspeakable. Through them Our Divine Fiat forms Seas of Love—not murmuring seas, but Speaking Seas. They Speak about Our Love with such Eloquence that We like it very much, and We want always to keep listening. The voices of this creature wound Us. Her words are like darts. She always has something to say about the story of Our Love, and We like it so much that We always remain attentive to listen to her. We don’t want to miss anything that regards Our Love. How Beautiful it is to hear the creature who possesses Our Sea of Speaking Love, always speaking about Our Love! And My Will, possessing the creature who Lives in It, is up to things of every stripe: It forms the works that Speak of Our Works, the steps that Speak of Our Ways.... In sum, since Our Will is Word, wherever It Reigns It gives Speech to all that the creature does, making a Divine Prodigy out of it.
“Therefore, there is nothing Greater, Holier, more Beautiful—that glorifies Us more, than Living in Our Will; and there is no Good Greater than this that We can give to the creature. So, be attentive and follow Me, if you don’t want to stop My Saying.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 2, 1916 Volume 11
This morning I received Communion in the way Jesus had taught me – that is, united with His Humanity, His Divinity and His Will; and Jesus, on coming, made Himself seen and I kissed Him and clasped Him to my heart. He returned my kiss and my embrace, and told me: "My daughter, how content I am that you have come to receive Me united with My Humanity, Divinity and Will! You have renewed in Me all the contentment I received when I communicated Myself; and while you were kissing Me and embracing Me, since all of Myself was in you, you contained all creatures, and I felt I was given the kiss of all, the embraces of all, because this was your will, as was Mine in communicating Myself — to return to the Father all the love of creatures, even though many would not love Him. The Father made up for their love in Me, and I make up for the love of all creatures in you; and having found in My Will one who loves Me, repairs Me... in the name of all – because in My Will there is nothing that the creature cannot give Me – I feel like loving creatures even if they offend Me, and I keep inventing stratagems of love around the hardest hearts in order to convert them. Only for love of these souls who do everything in My Will, do I feel as though chained, captured; and I concede to them the prodigies of the greatest conversions."
