Divine Will for every day of the year - December 28, 1917 Volume 12

Continuing in my usual state and being a little in suffering, I thought to myself: “How is it that I cannot find rest, either at night or during the day; rather, the weaker and the more suffering I feel, the more my mind is awake and unable to take rest.” And my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, you do not know the reason, but I do; and now I will tell you. My Humanity had no rest; even in sleep I had no respite, but I worked intensively; and this, because having to give life to everyone and everything, and redo everything within Me, it was convenient for Me to work without stopping for one instant; and one who has to give life, must be in continuous motion and uninterrupted act. Therefore, I was in continuous Act of letting lives of creatures out of Myself, and of receiving them. Had I wanted to rest, how many lives would not be delivered? How many, without My continuous Act, would not develop and would remain withered? How many would not enter into Me, because the act of Life of the only One who can give life, is missing?

“Now, My daughter, since I want you together with Me in My Will, I want your continuous act. Therefore, your awake mind is act, the murmuring of your prayer is act, the movements of your hands, the beating of your heart, the moving of your glances, are acts. They may be small, but what do I care? As long as there is the motion, the seed, I unite them to Mine, I make them great, and I give them the virtue of producing lives.

“My Acts too were not all apparently great, especially when, as a little one, I moaned and suckled milk from My Mama, I amused Myself in kissing her, caressing her, entangling My little hands with hers. Then, when I was a little older, I picked flowers, I brought the water, and other things. These were all little acts, but they were united in My Will, in My Divinity – and this was enough.

“They were so great as to be able to create millions and billions of lives. Therefore, as I was moaning, lives of creatures were coming out from My moans; I suckled, I kissed, I caressed, but lives were coming out. Souls were flowing in My fingers entangled with the hands of My Mama; and as I picked the flowers and brought the water, souls were coming out from the heartbeat of My uncreated Heart, and they entered into It. My motion was continuous.

“This is the reason for your vigil. When I see your motion and your acts in My Will – now placing themselves at My side, now flowing in My hands, now in My voice, in My mind or in My Heart – I make of them the motion of all, and I give life to each one in My Will, giving them the virtue of My own acts; and I make them run for the salvation and for the good of all.”

I was meditating on when the Queen Mama would give Her milk to Baby Jesus. I was saying to myself: “What must have passed between the Most Holy Mama and little Jesus in this act?” At that moment, I felt Him move in my interior, and I heard Him say to me: "My daughter, when I suckled milk from the breast of My most sweet Mother, together with milk I suckled the love of Her Heart – and it was more love than milk that I suckled. While suckling, I would hear Her say to Me: ‘I love You, I love You, O Son’; and I would repeat to Her: ‘I love You, I love You, O Mama.’ And I was not alone in this; at my ‘I love You,’ the Father, the Holy Spirit and the whole of Creation — the Angels, the Saints, the stars, the sun, the drops of water, the plants, the flowers, the grains of sand, all of the elements, would run after my ‘I love You,’ and repeat: ‘We love You, we love You, O Mother of our God, in the love of our Creator.’

“My Mother could see all this, and would remained inundated. She could find not even a tiny space in which She would not hear Me say that I loved Her. Her love would remain behind and almost alone, and She would repeat: ‘I love You, I love You...’ But She could never match Me, because the love of a creature has its limits, its time, while My Love is uncreated, unending, eternal. The same happens to any soul when she says to me, ‘I love You’; I too repeat to her, ‘I love you,’ and with Me is the whole Creation, loving her in My Love. Oh, if creatures comprehended what good and honor they procure for themselves even by just saying to Me: ‘I love You’! This alone would be enough – a God beside them who, honoring them, replies: ‘I love you too.’"

As I continued to see the Holy Baby, I saw the Queen Mother on one side and Saint Joseph on the other, adoring the Divine Infant profoundly. Being all intent on Him, it seemed to me that the Continuous Presence of the Little Baby kept them engrossed in continuous ecstasy; and if they could work, it was a prodigy that the Lord operated in them; otherwise they would have remained motionless, unable to attend to their external duties. I too did my adoration, and then I found myself inside myself.

… Afterwards, my sweet Jesus came back. He was a tender Little Baby, wailing, crying and shivering with cold. He threw Himself into my arms to be warmed. I squeezed Him so very tightly to myself, and according to my usual way, I fused myself in His Will in order to find the thoughts of all with mine, and surround shivering Jesus with adorations from all created intellects; in order to find the gazes of all, and make all look at Jesus and distract Him from crying; in order to find the mouths, the words, the voices of all creatures, that all might kiss Him so as not to make Him wail, and might warm Him with their breath. While I was doing this, the Infant Jesus stopped wailing and crying and, as though warmed, He told me: “My daughter, did you see what made Me shiver, cry and wail? The abandonment of creatures. You placed them all around Me; I felt I was being watched and kissed by all, so I stopped crying.

“However, know that My Sacramental lot is even harder than my lot as an Infant. Though cold, the grotto was spacious, and had air to breathe; the Host too is cold, but so small that I almost lack air. In the grotto I had a manger with a little hay for bed; in My Sacramental Life, I don’t even have hay, and I have nothing but hard and ice cold metals for bed. In the grotto I had My dear Mama who took Me very often with her most pure hands, covered Me with ardent kisses in order to warm Me, soothed my crying, and nourished Me with her most sweet milk. In My Sacramental Life it is all the opposite: I do not have a Mama; if they take Me, I feel the touch of unworthy hands which smell like earth and muck. Oh! How I feel their stench – more than the manure I smelled in the grotto. Instead of covering Me with kisses, they touch Me with irreverent acts; instead of milk, they give Me the bile of sacrileges, of indifference, and of coldness. In the grotto, Saint Joseph never left Me without the light of a little lantern at night. Here in the Sacrament, how many times I remain in the dark also at night! Oh, how much more painful is My Sacramental lot! How many hidden tears, not seen by anyone. How many wails not listened to. If my lot as an Infant moved you to pity, much more should My Sacramental lot move you to pity.”

… After this, at night, I was thinking of the act in which the sweet Little Baby came out of the Maternal womb, to be born into our midst. My poor mind wandered within a mystery so profound and all Love. And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, stretched out His little hands to embrace me, and said to me: “My daughter, the act of My Birth was the most solemn act of all creation. Heaven and earth felt plunged into the most profound adoration, at the sight of My little Humanity, which kept My Divinity as though enclosed within walls. So, in the act of My Birth, there was an act of silence and of profound adoration and prayer. My Mama prayed, enraptured by the Power of the Prodigy which was coming out from Her. Saint Joseph prayed; the Angels prayed, and the whole of creation felt the strength of the Love of My Creative Power as being renewed upon itself. All felt honored and received true honor, for the One who had created them was going to use them for all that was needed by His Humanity. The sun felt honored, in having to give Its light and heat to its Creator, recognizing the One who had created it – its True Lord; and it made feast and paid Him honor by giving Him its light. The earth felt honored, when it felt Me lying in a manger; it felt touched by My tender limbs, and rejoiced with gladness with prodigious signs. All creation, all created beings, saw their True King and Lord within their midst; and feeling honored, each one wanted to perform its office for Me: the water wanted to quench My thirst; the birds, with their trills and warblings, wanted to cheer Me; the wind wanted to caress Me; the air wanted to kiss Me – each one wanted to pay Me its innocent tribute.

“Only men, ungrateful, even though all felt something unusual within themselves – a joy, a strong power – were reluctant, and suffocating everything, did not move. Although I called them with tears, with moans and sobs, they did not move, except for a few shepherds. Yet, it was for man that I was coming upon earth! I was coming to give Myself to him, to save him, and to bring him back to My Celestial Fatherland. Therefore, I was all eyes to see whether he would come before Me in order to receive the great Gift of My Divine and human Life. So, the Incarnation was nothing but giving Myself at the mercy of the creature. In the Incarnation I gave Myself at the mercy of My dear Mama; when I was born, Saint Joseph too added, to whom I gave the gift of My Life. And since My Works are eternal and are not subject to end, this Divinity, this Word who descended upon earth, never withdrew from the earth, in order to have the opportunity to give Himself continuously to all creatures. As long as I lived, I gave Myself in an unveiled manner; and then, a few hours before dying, I made the Great Prodigy of leaving Myself in the Sacrament, so that, whoever wanted Me, could receive the great Gift of My Life. I paid no attention either to the offenses they would give to Me, or to the refusals to receive Me. I said to Myself: ‘I have given Myself; I do not want to withdraw, ever again. Let them do to Me whatever they want – I will always belong to them, and be at their disposal.’

“Daughter, this is the nature of True Love; this is to work as God: firmness, and not to withdraw at the cost of any sacrifice. This firmness in My Works is My Victory – the greatest one of My Glory; and this is the sign to know whether the creature works for God: firmness. The soul looks to no one in the face – neither to pains, nor to herself, nor to self-esteem, nor to creatures. Even though it may cost her own life, she looks only at God, for love of Whom she set herself to work; and she feels victorious in offering the sacrifice of her life for love of Him.

“Not being firm is of the human nature and of the human way of working. Not being firm is the work of passions, and with passion. Mutability is weakness, it is cowardice, and it is not of the nature of True Love. Therefore, firmness must be the guide in working for Me. So, in My Works I never change: whatever the events may be, when a work is done once, it is done forever.”

… Then, after this, I was about to close my eyes to sleep, and I said to myself: “My sleep too in Your Will. Even more, may my breath be transformed into Yours, so that all that Jesus did while sleeping, I may do as well. But then, did my Jesus really sleep?” And Jesus came back and added: "My daughter, My sleep was extremely brief, but I did sleep. However, I did not sleep for Myself, but for creatures. As the Head, I represented the whole human family, and I had to lay My Humanity over all in order to give them rest. I could see all creatures covered with a mantle of disturbance, of struggles, of restlessness — some were falling into sin and remained saddened; some were dominated by tyrannical passions which they wanted to conquer, and remained disturbed; some wanted to do good and struggled in order to do it.... In sum, there was no peace, because true peace is possessed when the will of the creature returns into the Will of its Creator, from which it came. Outside of the center, shifted from the origin, there is no peace. Therefore, while sleeping, My Humanity laid Itself over all, wrapping them as though within a mantle, just like the hen, when it calls its chicks under its maternal wings to make them sleep. In the same way, extending over all, I called all of My children under My wings, to give to some forgiveness of sin, to some victory over passions, to some strength in the fight; to give peace and rest to all. And in order not to strike fear in them, but to give them courage, I did this while sleeping. Who would fear someone who is sleeping?

“Now the world has not changed; rather, it is amid struggles more than ever, and therefore I want someone who sleeps in My Will, so as to repeat the effects of the sleep of my Humanity." Then, with an afflicted tone, He repeated: "And My other children — where are they? Why don’t they all come to Me, to receive rest and peace? Let us call them, let us call them together." And it seemed that Jesus would call them by name — one by one. But few were those who came.

As I was in my usual state, I saw little Baby Jesus with a fistful of light in His hand, and rays flowing out through His fingers. I remained enchanted, and He told me: “My daughter, perfection is light, and one who says he wants to reach it acts just like one who would want to clasp a body of light in his hand: as he tries to clasp it, the light itself flows out through his fingers; except, his hand remains immersed in that light. Now, the light is God, and God alone is perfect, and the soul who wants to be perfect does nothing but seize shadows — the little drops of God; and sometimes she does nothing but live in the light alone, that is, in the Truth. And just as the light penetrates deeper and occupies more space the greater the void it finds, and the deeper the place is — in the same way, the more the soul is empty and humble, the more the Divine Light fills her and communicates Its Graces and Perfections to her.”

My flight in the Divine Volition continues; it seems to me that I call It, because Life would be missing in me without It. The Life of Good, the Life of Love, the Life of the Light, the Life of Peace, would be missing in me; and my human will, seeing itself alone, would assault me and would give life to my passions in me. This is why I fear so much that even for just one instant it may remain without the Fiat operating in me, because, It being present, my will remains crouched down and does not dare to move before a Will so Holy and so Powerful. Therefore I call It, and It gives me Its hand to take me into Its Acts, that I may follow It and keep It company. And since It created everything for love of creatures, when It feels her close and identified, It takes such delight, that It feels as though repaid for the many things It issued from Its Creative Hands.

So, while I was following the acts of the Divine Will done in Creation, my sweet Jesus, making Himself seen and looking at me, told me: “My daughter, how sweet it is for Me to look at a soul who lets herself be worked by My Divine Will. A triumph takes place from one side to the other: My Will invests the intelligence of the creature, and she lets herself be invested. In sum, they form an accord on both sides; and then My Will forms Its triumph over each thought of the creature, and she acquires and makes a triumph of the many Divine thoughts within her mind. So, My Divine Will triumphs by giving and taking possession of it; the soul triumphs by wanting it and receiving it. So, if she looks, if she speaks, if she palpitates, if she operates and walks, those are all triumphs of My Will over the creature; and she triumphs and takes possession of many Divine Acts. Amid these exchanges of triumphs and possessions, such joy and happiness is formed on both sides, that you cannot comprehend them all. In fact, you must know that when good, the triumph, the possession, is done between two—then does it bring joy and happiness. Isolated good has made no one happy; as it sees itself alone, it loses all the beauty of happiness. Therefore My Divine Will keeps searching for Its creature in order to form Its Triumphs, to be able to form, together with her, Its Joys, Its Happinesses, on the face of the earth.”

[Jesus speaking]

“… you must know that even from the first instant of the Life of this Celestial Creature, so much was Our Love that We provided Her with a Dowry of all Our Divine Qualities such that She held as Dowry Our Power, Wisdom, Love, Goodness, Light, Beauty, and all the rest of Our Divine Qualities. Already for all creatures, in placing them to the light of day, We give the Dowry. No one is born if he is not provided with a Dowry by his Creator. But since they broke away from Our Will, one can say that they do not even know It. On the other hand, this Holy Virgin never broke away, She made Perennial Life in the Interminable Seas of Our Fiat, therefore She grew together with Our Attributes. And as She formed Her Acts in Our Divine Qualities, so She formed Seas of Power, of Wisdom, of Light, and others.

“We can say that Living with Our Science We give Her continuous Lessons on who Her Creator was. She grew in Our Knowledges, and She knew so much about the Supreme Being, that not one Angel or Saint could reach Her. Rather, they are all ignorant before Her, because no one grew and Lived together with Us. She entered into Our Divine Secrets, into the most Intimate hiding places of Our Divine Being without beginning or end, into Our Joys and Everlasting Beatitudes. And with Our Power that She held in Her Power, She dominated Us and lorded over Us, and We let Her do it. Rather, We enjoyed Her lording over Us, and in order to render Her Happier, We gave Her Our Chaste Embraces, Our Smiles of Love, Our Condescesions, telling her: ‘Do what you want.’ …”

“… And so, this is the reason why My Supreme Will calls you—awaits you in each created thing, to make known to you the Riches that are in It, to make you repeat Its Divine Acts together with It, and to give you the right of possession. You yourself become Its own property; you remain dissolved within Its immense Riches and within Its very Acts, and—oh! how the Divine Fiat enjoys making you the owner of Its immense Riches. Its desire of constituting Its heiresses is so great, that It feels twice as happy when It sees one who knows Its possessions and makes Its Divine Act her own; so much so, that even though It saw that man, by withdrawing from Its Will, lost his way to reach the possession of Its Dominions, It did not stop, but in the excess of Its Love and of Its long sorrow of seeing Its Riches inactive for the good of creatures, as soon as the Eternal Word clothed Himself with human flesh, It constituted Itself life of each of His Acts, so as to form more Goods for them, powerful Aids and effective Remedies, more within the reach of decayed humanity, so as to realize the Purpose of making them possess what was issued in Creation.

“There is nothing that comes from Us, that does not have this purpose—that the creature and everything return into Our Will. If it were not so, We would render Ourselves extraneous to Our own works. So, Creation, Redemption, My daughter, have the primary Purpose that everything be Our Will, in Heaven and on earth; therefore, It flows everywhere, It is present in every place, to make everything Its own, and to give everything that belongs to It. Therefore, be attentive in following Our Works; satisfy this Desire, so insistent, of My Supreme Will, that wants those who possess Its Goods.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 18, 1933 Volume 33

My poor mind continues to cross the Infinite Sea of the Fiat. And for however much one walks, one never finishes. In this Sea the soul feels her God who fills her even to the brim, completely, with His Divine Being in a way that she can say: “God has given me all of Himself, and if He has not given me His Immensity to enclose in myself, it is because I am little.”

Now in this Sea one finds in act the Order, the Harmony, the Ancient Mysteries of how God has Created man, and O! the Prodigies are unheard of, the Love is exuberant, the Majesty is insuperable. There is so much of the mysterious, that neither man himself, nor the sciences, can retell about the formation of man with clarity.

So I remained surprised by the magnificence and prerogatives the human nature possesses, and my beloved Jesus, in seeing me so surprised, told me: “My blessed daughter, your marvel will cease if, looking well into this Sea of My Volition, you see where, who, how, and when every creature was formed. Therefore: Where? In the Eternal Womb of God. Who? God Himself gave them Origin. How? The Supreme Being Himself formed the series of his thoughts, the number of his words, the order of his works, the motion of his steps, and the continuous heartbeat of his heart. In fact, God gave them such Beauty, Order, and Harmony, as to be able to find Himself in the creature with such Fullness that he would not be able to find the place to put anything of his, that was not placed in him by God. We, in looking at him, remained enraptured in seeing that in the little human circle Our Power had enclosed Our Divine Work. And in Our emphasis of Love We told him: ‘How very beautiful you are; you are Our Work, you will be Our Glory, the outlet of Our Love, the Reflection of Our Wisdom, the Echo of Our Power, the Bearer of Our Eternal Love.’ And We Loved him with Eternal Love, without beginning and without end. And when was this creature formed in Us? Ab eterno (from Eternity), therefore he did not exist in time, but in Eternity he always existed, he had his place in Us, his Palpitating Life, the Love of his Creator.

“In fact, the creature has always been for Us Our Ideal, the little space for where to develop Our Creative Work, the support of Our Life, the vent of Our Eternal Love. This is why humans do not understand so many things; they don’t know how to explain them because it is the Operation of the Divine Incomprehensibility, they are Our Ancient Celestial Mysteries, Our Divine Fibers, in which only We know the Mysterious Secrets, the keys that We must touch when We want to do New and Unusual Things in the creature. And since they do not know Our Secrets, nor can they understand Our Incomprehensible Ways that We have placed in the human nature, they arrive at judging by their ways, and they do not know how to explain what We Operate in the creature, while he is obliged to bow his forehead before what he does not understand. …”

Continuing in my usual state, for a few instants a saw blessed Jesus with the Cross on His shoulders, in the act of encountering His Most Holy Mother; and I said to Him: “Lord, what did Your Mother do in this most sorrowful encounter?”

And He: “My daughter, She did nothing but a most profound and simple act of adoration. And since the simpler the act, the more easily it unites with God, Most Simple Spirit, in this act She infused Herself in Me and continued what I Myself was doing in My interior. This was immensely pleasing to Me, more than if She had done any other greater thing. In fact, the true spirit of adoration consists in this: the creature dissolves herself and finds herself in the Divine Sphere; she adores all that God does, and she unites with Him. Do you think that when the mouth adores but the mind is somewhere else, it is true adoration? That is, the mind adores but the will is far away from Me? Or, one power adores Me, and the others are all disordered? No, I want everything for Myself, and everything I have given her, in Me. This is the greatest act of cult, of adoration, that the creature can do for Me.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 16, 1922 Volume 15

I was thinking about the act in which the Eternal Word descended from Heaven and was conceived in the womb of the Immaculate Queen, and from within my interior, my always lovable Jesus put out one arm, surrounding my neck, and in my interior told me: “My beloved daughter, if the Conception of My Celestial Mama was prodigious, and She was conceived in the sea which came out of the Three Divine Persons, My Conception was not in the sea that came out of Us, but in the great Sea which resided within Us — Our very Divinity — which descended into the virginal womb of this Virgin, and I was conceived. It is true that it is said that the Word was conceived, but My Celestial Father and the Holy Spirit were inseparable from Me. It is true that I had the acting role, but They were concurring.

“Imagine two reflectors, each one reflecting the same subject into the other. These subjects are three: the one in the middle takes on the operating, suffering, supplicating role; the other two are with it, concur with it, and are spectators. So, I could say that one of the two reflectors was the Most Holy Trinity, and the other was My dear Mama. During the brief course of Her life, by living always in My Will, in Her virginal womb She prepared for Me the little Divine Ground in which I, Eternal Word, was to clothe Myself with human flesh, since I would never have descended into a human ground. And as the Trinity was reflected in Her, I was conceived. So, while that same Trinity remained in Heaven, I was conceived in the womb of this noble Queen.

“All other things, as great, noble, sublime and prodigious as they may be, all remain behind — even the very Conception of the Virgin Queen. There is not one thing, neither love nor greatness nor power, which can compare to My Conception. Here it is not about forming a life, but about enclosing the Life which gives life to all; not about expanding, but about shrinking Myself so that I might be conceived; and not in order to receive, but to give, the One who created everything, enclosing Himself within a created and tiny little Humanity. These are works only of a God, and of a God who loves, and who, at any cost, wants to bind the creature with His Love in order to be loved.

“But this is nothing yet. Do you know where all My Love, all My Power and Wisdom blazed forth? As soon as the Divine Power formed this tiny little Humanity, so little as to be comparable to the size of a hazelnut, but with all the members proportioned and formed, and the Word was conceived in It, the Immensity of My Will, enclosing all creatures, past, present and future, conceived all lives of creatures in It. And as My Humanity grew, so did they grow within Me. So, even though I appeared to be alone, when observed under the microscope of My Will, all creatures conceived in Me could be seen. It happened with Me as when one sees crystal clear waters: even though they appear to be clear, when they are observed under a microscope, how many microbes cannot be seen? My conception was such and so great that the wheel of Eternity remained stunned and ecstatic in seeing the innumerable Excesses of My Love, and all prodigies united together. The whole mass of the Universe was shaken in seeing the One who gives life to everything shrink, reduce Himself, enclose everything, in order to do — what? To take the lives of all, and make all be reborn.”

Continuing in my usual state, I was thinking about the Passion of blessed Jesus; and He, making himself seen crucified, shared with me a little bit of His pains, telling me: “My daughter, I wanted to be crucified and lifted up on the Cross, so that, if they want Me, souls may find Me. So, someone wants Me as Teacher for he feels the necessity to be instructed, and I lower Myself to teach him both the small things and the highest and most sublime, such as to make of him the most learned. Another moans in abandonment, in oblivion; he would like to find a father, he comes to the foot of My Cross, and I make Myself Father, giving him a home in My wounds, My Blood as drink, My Flesh as food, and My very Kingdom as inheritance. Another one is infirm, and he finds Me as Doctor who, not only heals him, but gives him the sure remedies in order not to fall again into infirmities. Another one is oppressed by calumnies, by scorns, and at the foot of My Cross he finds his Defender, to the point of rendering calumnies and scorns back to him as Divine honors; and so with all the rest. So, whoever wants Me as Judge finds Me as Judge; whoever wants Me as Friend, as Spouse, as Advocate, as Priest... such do they find Me. This is why I wanted to be nailed, hands and feet: to oppose nothing of what they want — to make Myself as they want Me. But woe to those who, seeing that I am unable to move even one finger, dare to offend Me.” While He was saying this, I said: “Lord, who are those that offend You the most?” And He added: “Those who make Me suffer the most are the religious who, living in My Humanity, torment and lacerate My flesh within My very Humanity; while one who lives outside of My Humanity lacerates Me from afar.”

I was offering my sleep to Jesus, saying to Him: "I take your sleep and I make it My own, and by sleeping with your sleep, I want to give You the contentment as if another Jesus was sleeping.” Without letting me finish what I was saying, He told me: "Ah, yes, My daughter, sleep with My Sleep, so that, in looking at you, I may reflect Myself in you, and as I gaze at Myself, I may find all of Myself in you, because you are sleeping with My Sleep; and so that, as you gaze at yourself in Me, we may be in accord in everything. I want to tell you why My Humanity subjected Itself to the weakness of sleep. My daughter, the creature was made by Me, and, as My own, I wanted to keep her on My lap, in My arms, in continuous Rest. The soul was to rest in My Will and sanctity, in my Love, in My Beauty, Power, Wisdom, etc. – all these, acts which constitute true Rest. But, what sorrow! The creature escapes from My lap, and trying to detach herself from My arms in which I hold her tight, she goes in search of vigil. Vigil are passions, sin, attachments, pleasures; vigil the fears, the anxieties, the agitations, etc. So, as much as I long for her and call her to rest in Me, I am not listened to. This is a great offense, an affront to My Love, which the creature takes into no consideration, and she gives not a thought to repair for it. This is why I wanted to sleep – to give satisfaction to the Father for the rRst which souls do not take in Him, by repaying Him for all; and while sleeping, I impetrated true Rest for all, making Myself the vigil of each heart in order to free them of the vigil of sin. And I so much L:ove this Rest of the creature in Me, that I not only wanted to sleep, but I wanted to walk in order to give Rest to her feet; work, to give Rest to her hands; palpitate and Love, to give Rest to her heart. In sum, I wanted to do everything so that the soul might do everything in Me, and would take Rest; and so that I might do everything for her, provided that I could keep her safe within Me."

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition, and as I accompanied Its acts done in the Creation, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, all created things were created by Us with a dose of Happiness, one distinct from the other; so, each created thing brings to man the kiss, the air that delights, the life of Our Happiness. But do you know who feels all the effects of Our many Happinesses that are spread in the Creation descend into her interior, to the point of remaining soaked with them like a sponge? One who lives in Our Divine Will.

“Our Happinesses are not foreign to her, because, since she has her taste purified by Our Fiat and not corrupted by the human will, her taste and all of her senses have the virtue of enjoying all the Happinesses that are present in the created things, and We feel so much happiness and Joy in seeing one who does Our Will as though sitting at the table of Our Happinesses and feeding herself with as many different bites for as many as are the Happinesses present in the created things. Oh! how beautiful it is to see the creature happy.”

At that moment, Jesus kept silent, and I heard the sound of the harmonium playing in the chapel; and Jesus pricked up His ears to listen, and then He added: “Oh! how happy I feel because this sound delights the little daughter of My Will. And I, in hearing it, delight together with her. Oh! how beautiful it is to be delighted together. To make one who loves Me happy is the greatest of My Happinesses.”

Continuing in my usual state, I was fusing all of myself in the Holy Will of my sweet Jesus, and I prayed, I loved, I repaired. And He said to me: "My daughter, do you want a simile for the acts done in My Will? Look up and you will see the sun — a circle of light, with its limits and its shape. But the light which comes from this sun, from within the limits of its circle, fills the earth and extends everywhere — not in a round shape, but wherever it finds earth, mountains, seas to illuminate and to invest with its heat; so much so, that with the majesty of its light, with the beneficial influence of its heat, and by investing everyone, the sun becomes the king of all planets, and holds supremacy over all created things.

“Now, such are the acts done in My Will, and still more. In doing her act, the creature makes it small and limited, but as it enters into My Will, it becomes immense, it invests all, it gives light and heat to all, it reigns over all, it acquires supremacy over all the other acts of creatures — it has right over all. Therefore, she rules, she dominates, she conquers; yet, her act is small, but by doing it in My Will, it went through an incredible transformation, which not even Angels are allowed to comprehend. I alone can measure the just value of these acts done in My Will. They are the triumph of My Glory, the outpouring of My Love, the fulfillment of Redemption; and I feel as though repaid for Creation itself. Therefore, always forward, in My Will."

[There are no chapters written on December 11.]

“… Now, do you want to know who is She who let Herself be dominated by this continuous Act of My Supreme Will, and, never giving life to Her own, received this continuous Act of Life of Divine Will, in such a way as to form within Herself a life fully Divine and in the Likeness of Her Creator? It was the Celestial and Sovereign Queen. From the very first instant of Her Immaculate Conception, She received this Act of Life of Divine Will, to then receive It continuously during all of Her life. This was the greatest Prodigy, the Miracle never before seen: the Life of the Divine Will in the Empress of Heaven.

“In fact, one single Act of Life of this Fiat can issue heavens, suns, seas, stars, and everything It wants; so, all the human acts placed before a single Act of Life of this Will of Mine, are like many drops of water that dissolve within the ocean, like tiny little flames before the sun, like atoms in the great space of the universe. Imagine, yourself, what the height of the Immaculate Queen possesses, with this Life of continuous Act of Divine Will, formed in Her. This was the true Miracle, the Prodigy never before seen— that the littleness of the Celestial Sovereign enclosed within Herself a Divine Life, a Will, immense and eternal, that possesses all possible and imaginable Goods.

“Therefore, in all the feasts with which the Church honors My Mama, all Heaven celebrates, glorifies, praises and thanks the Supreme Will, because they see Its Life in Her—the primary Cause by which She obtained the longed for Redeemer; and therefore, because this Fiat had Life, that dominated and reigned in Her, they find themselves in possession of the Celestial Jerusalem.

“It was precisely the Divine Will that formed Its Life in this Excelling Creature, who opened Heaven, that had been closed by the human will. Therefore, with justice, while they celebrate the Queen, they celebrate the Supreme Fiat that made Her Queen, reigned in Her, formed Its Life, and is the primary Cause of their eternal happiness. So, a creature who lets My Will dominate and gives It free field in order to form Its Life in her, is the greatest of prodigies. She can move Heaven and earth, even God Himself, as if she were doing nothing, while she does everything, and she alone can win the most important things, destroy all obstacles, face anything, because a Divine Will reigns in her. …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 10, 1918 Volume 12

I was saying to my sweet Jesus: "See, I don’t know how to do anything, nor do I have anything to give You, but I want to give You my trifles. I unite these trifles of mine to the All, as You are, and I ask You for souls. Therefore, as I breathe, my breathing asks You for souls; the beating of my heart, with incessant cries, asks You for souls; the motion of my arms, the blood which circulates in me, the batting of my eyelids, the movements of my lips — are souls that I ask of You. And I ask this united with You, with Your Love and in Your Will, so that everyone may hear my incessant cry within You, always asking for souls."

Now, as I was saying this and other things, my Jesus moved in my interior and told me: "My daughter, how sweet and pleasing to Me, is the prayer of the souls who are intimate with Me! How I feel My hidden Life of Nazareth being repeated — with no outward appearance, without any circle of people, with no sound of bells; completely neglected and alone, to the extent that I was barely known. I kept rising between Heaven and earth, asking for souls — not even a breath or a heartbeat escaped Me, which did not ask for souls. And as I did this, My blast resounded in Heaven, and drew the Love of the Father to give Me souls. This same sound, reverberating in hearts, cried out in a sonorous voice: ‘Souls!’ How many wonders did I not work during My Hidden Life, known only to My Father in Heaven and to My Mother on earth!

“The same for the hidden soul, who is intimate with Me: as she prays, though no sound is heard on earth, her prayers, like bells, resound more vibrantly in Heaven, to the extent of calling the whole of Heaven to unite Itself with her, and to let Mercy descend upon the earth, which resounding not to the hearing but to the hearts of creatures, may dispose them to convert."

… Then, as I was worried about my hard and sad lot of having to be so very often without Him, my sweet Jesus came, and throwing one arm around my neck, told me: "My daughter, do not increase My pains by worrying – they are already too many. I do not expect this from you; on the contrary, I want you to make My pains, My prayers and all of Myself your own, in such a way that I may find in you another Me. In these times I want great satisfactions, and only one who makes Me his own can give them to Me. That which the Father found in Me – Glory, Delight, Love, Satisfactions Whole and Perfect, and for the good of all – I want to find in these souls, like as many other Jesuses that match Me. These intentions you must repeat in each Hour of the Passion that you do, in each action – in everything. If I do not find My Satisfactions – ah, it is over for the world! The scourges will pour down in torrents. Ah, My daughter! Ah, my daughter!" And He disappeared.
