Divine Will for every day of the year - January 17, 1921 Volume 12

I felt my poor mind immersed in the immense sea of the Divine Volition. I could see the mark of the FIAT everywhere. I saw it in the Sun, and it seemed to me that the echo of the FIAT in the Sun brought me Divine Love, which darted through me, wounded me and flashed through me. And I, on the wings of the FIAT of the Sun, went up to the Eternal One bringing, in the name of the whole human family, the Love which darted, wounded, and flashed through the Supreme Majesty. And I said: “In Your FIAT You gave me all this Love, and only in the FIAT can I return it to You.”

I looked at the stars and I could see the FIAT in them; and in their sweet and meek glittering, this FIAT brought me pacific Love, sweet Love, hidden Love, compassionate Love in the very night of sin. And I, in the FIAT of the stars, in the name of all, brought to the Throne of the Eternal One pacific Love in order to put peace between Heaven and earth, the sweet Love of the loving souls, the hidden Love of many others, the Love of the creatures when, after sin, they come back to God. But who can say all that I understood and did in the many FIATs which were scattered over all Creation? I would be too long; so I stop here.

Then, my sweet Jesus took my hands in His own, and squeezing them tightly, told me: "My daughter, the FIAT is all full of Life — even more, It is Life Itself, and this is why all lives and all things come from within the FIAT. Creation came out from My ‘FIAT’; therefore in each created thing one can see the mark of the FIAT. Redemption came out from the ‘FIAT MIHI’ of My dear Mama, pronounced in My Volition and carrying the same Power of My Creative ‘FIAT.’ Therefore, there is nothing in Redemption which does not contain the mark of the ‘FIAT MIHI’ of My Mama. Even My very Humanity, My steps, words and works were marked by Her ‘FIAT MIHI.’ My pains, My wounds, My thorns, My Cross, My Blood, had the mark of Her ‘FIAT MIHI’, because things carry the mark of the origin from which they come. My origin in time was the ‘FIAT MIHI’ of the Immaculate Mama; therefore all of my works carry the mark of Her ‘FIAT MIHI.’ So, Her ‘FIAT MIHI’ is in each Sacramental Host; if man rises again from sin, if the newborn is baptized, if Heaven opens to receive souls, it is the ‘FIAT MIHI’ of My Mama that marks everything, follows everything, and from It everything proceeds. Oh, power of the FIAT! It rises every instant; It multiplies, and It becomes life of all goods.

“Now I want to tell you why I asked for your ‘FIAT’ — your ‘yes’ in My Volition. I want the prayer which I taught – the ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua sicut in Coelo et in terra’ — this prayer of so many centuries, of so many generations — to have its fulfillment and completion. This is why I wanted another ‘yes’ in My Volition — another ‘FIAT’ containing the Creative Power. I want the ‘FIAT’ that rises every instant, and multiplies in everyone. I want, in one soul, My own ‘FIAT’ which ascends to My Throne and, by its Creative Power, brings upon earth the life of the ‘FIAT on earth as It is in Heaven’."

Surprised and annihilated in hearing this, I said: “Jesus, what are You saying? Yet, You know how bad and incapable of anything I am.” And He: "My daughter, it is My usual way to choose the most abject, unable, poor souls for My greatest works. Even My Mama had nothing extraordinary in her exterior life; no miracles — not a sign that would distinguish Her from other women. Her only distinction was perfect virtue, to which almost no one paid attention. And if to other Saints I gave the distinction of miracles, and I adorned others with My wounds, to My Mama, nothing — nothing. Yet, She was the portent of portents, the miracle of miracles, the true and perfect crucified — no one else like Her.

“I usually act like a master who has two servants. One of them seems a herculean giant, good at everything; the other one is short, unable, and seems to be good at nothing — not an important service. If the master keeps him, it is more for charity, and also for fun. Now, having to send a million — a billion, to another town, what does he do? He calls the little and incapable one, and entrusts the great sum to him, saying to himself: ‘If I give it to the giant, all will fix their attention on him; thieves may attack him and rob him; and if he tries to defend himself with his herculean strength, he may be wounded. I know that he is capable, but I want to spare him; I do not want to expose him to the obvious danger. On the other hand, no one will pay attention to this little one, knowing him to be incapable; no one would think that I would entrust such an important sum to him; and so he will come back safe and sound.’ The poor incapable one is surprised that the master would trust him, when he could have used the giant, and all trembling and humble, he goes to deposit the great sum, with no one deigning to give him even a glance. So, he returns safe and sound to his master, more trembling and humble than before.

“So I do: the greater the work I want to do, the more I choose abject, poor, ignorant souls, with no outward appearance which may expose them. The abject state of the soul will serve as safe custody for My Work. The thieves of self-esteem and love of self will not pay attention to her, knowing her inability. And she, humble and trembling, will carry out the office entrusted by Me, knowing that she has done nothing by herself, but that I did everything in her."

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 16, 1938 Volume 35

The Divine Volition is always around me—now It calls me, now It squeezes me to Its Lap of Light; and if I respond to Its Call—if I give It my embrace in return, It Loves me so much—It wants to give me so much—that I don’t know where to put it all. I remain confused in the middle of so much Love and generosity, so I call the Holy Will that Loves me so much.

And my sweet Jesus, visiting my little soul, with Unspeakable Tenderness told me: “Daughter of My Will, you must know that only your Jesus knows all the secrets of My Fiat because, as the Word of the Father, I Glorify Myself in becoming the Narrator of all that It has done for the creature. Its Love is Exuberant. It called you in everything It did, both in the Works of Creation and in the Works of Redemption. And if you listened to Its Call by saying: ‘I’m here. What do you want?’ It would give you the Gifts of Its Works. If you didn’t answer, It would keep calling you always, until you would listen.

“So, if It Created Heaven, It called you in that blue vault, saying: ‘My daughter, come and see how Beautiful is the Heaven I’ve Created for you. I Created It to make you a Gift. Come and receive this Great Gift. If you don’t listen to Me I cannot give it to you, and you leave Me here, calling you constantly, holding the Gift in My Hands. But I won’t stop calling you until I see you possessing My Gift.’

“Heaven has such a great expanse that the earth is like a little hole compared to it. Therefore, everyone has his own place— one Heaven for each; and I call everyone by name to give them the Gift. But what is not the Pain of My Will in calling again and again without being heard, while they look at Heaven as if it were not a Gift for them? This Will of Mine Loves so much that, as It Created the sun, It called you with Its voices of Light, going in search for you, and for all, to give it as a Gift. Therefore, your name is written in the sun, with characters of Light—there is no way I can forget it. And as its light descends from its sphere to reach you, it is calling you always.... It is not satisfied in calling you from the height of its sphere, but Loving you more and more, it wants to go down to the bottom, to tell you by means of light and heat: ‘Receive My Gift. I Created this sun for you.’ And if It is heard, how festive It becomes, seeing that the creature possesses the sun as her own property—as a Gift received from her Creator.

“My Will calls you everywhere and in every place. It calls you in the wind: now with authority, now with moans, now as if wanting to cry, to move you to listen, so that you may receive the Gift of this element. It calls you in the sea, through its murmuring, to tell you: ‘This sea is yours. Take it as a Gift from Me.’ Even in the air you breathe, in the singing little bird, It calls you to say: ‘I give you everything as a Gift.’

“Now, if the soul responds to the call, the Gift is Confirmed. If she does not respond, the Gifts remain suspended between Heaven and earth. In fact, if My Will calls, it is because It wants to be called, to maintain the exchange between Itself and the creatures—to make Itself known and to make Incessant Love arise between Itself and the one who Lives in Its Fiat. It is easier to hear Its many Calls, only for those who Live in the Divine Will, since at the same time It calls her from within Its Works, It also makes Itself heard in the depth of her soul—calling from both sides.

“What more should I tell you about the many times I called you and still call you in all the Acts of My Humanity? I was Conceived, and I called you to give you the Gift of My Conception. I was Born, and I called you more strongly, to the extent of crying, moaning and wailing; to move you to compassion so that you might answer Me soon—to give you the Gift of My Birth, of My tears, moans and wailings. If My Celestial Mama swaddled Me in bandages, I called you to swaddle you together with Me. In sum, I called you in every Word I said, in every step I took, in every Pain I suffered, in every drop of My Blood; I called you even in My last Breath on the Cross, to give you everything as a Gift. And to keep you safe, I placed you with Me in the hands of My Celestial Father.

“Where didn’t I call you, to give you all that I did, to pour out My Love, to make you feel how much I Loved you, to let the sweetness of My enrapturing Voice descend into your heart—a voice that enraptures, Creates and Conquers; to hear your voice telling Me: ‘Here I am. Tell me, Jesus, what do you want?’ as return for My Love and as a promise to accept My Gifts, so that I could say: ‘I have been heard. My daughter recognized Me and loves Me...’

“It is true that these are Excesses of Our Love, but Loving without being recognized and loved... nobody could endure or continue to live. Therefore, we will continue Our follies of Love—Our Stratagems—to give course to Our Life of Love.”

Then He added, with even more intense emphasis of Love: “My daughter, Our sighs are so many—so great Our anxiety for the desire to have the creature always with Us, that we want always to give her of Ourselves. But do you know what We want to give her? Our Will. By giving her Our Will there is no Good We do not give to her. So, having her as though drowned in Our Love, Beauty, Sanctity and so forth, We say: ‘We have given you so much, and you—you give Us nothing?’ The creature, confused because she has nothing to give Us—and even if she has something, it is Ours—looks at her will and gives it to Us as the most Beautiful homage to her Creator. And do you know what We do? If she gave Us her will in every instant, each time We would give her the merit, as if she had a will for each time she has given it to Us. And We give her Our Will for each time she gave Us her own, Redoubling each time Our Sanctity, Our Love, etc.”

In hearing this, I said: ‘My dear Jesus, I gain much in receiving the merit each time I give You my will, and having Yours in exchange is the Greatest Gain for me. But what is Your gain?’

And He, with a smile: ‘To you the merit, and to Me the gain of receiving all the Glory of My Divine Will. And each time I give It to you, My Divine Glory, which I receive through the creature, is Doubled, multiplied—increased a hundredfold. Then I can say: ‘She gives Me all, and I give her All.’”

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 15, 1920 Volume 12

I was pouring all of myself into the Divine Volition, to be able to substitute for everything that the creature is obliged to do toward the Supreme Majesty; and while I was doing this, I said to myself: “Where can I find enough love to be able to give my sweet Jesus love for all?” And He told me in my interior: "My daughter, in My Will you will find this Love, which can make up for the love of all, because one who enters My Will will find many springing founts; and as much as he may take, they never decrease one drop. There is the fount of Love, which impetuously spouts its waves; but as much as it spouts, it always springs forth. There is the fount of Beauty, and no matter how many beauties it releases, it never fades; on the contrary, it springs with ever new and more rare beauties. There is the fount of Wisdom, the fount of Contentments, the fount of Goodness, of Power, of Mercy, of Justice, and of all the rest of My Qualities.

“They all spring up, and each one pours into the other, in such a way that Love is beautiful, is wise, is powerful, etc. The fount of Beauty gives beauty of Love, wise and powerful, and with such Power as to keep the whole of Heaven enraptured, without ever tiring It. These springing founts form such a Harmony, such a contentment and an enchanting show that all the Blessed remain so sweetly enchanted that they never move, even one glance, so as not to miss even one of these contentments. Therefore, My daughter, for one who wants to love, repair and substitute for all, there is the strict necessity to live in My Volition, from where everything springs; where things multiply as many times as needed, and remain all coined with the Divine Imprint. This Divine Imprint forms the other founts, whose waves rise and rise so much, that in pouring out, they flood everything and do good to all. Therefore, always – always in My Will. There I await you — there I want you."

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 14, 1934 Volume 33

… So finding myself suffering a little more then usual, I thought to myself: “O! how I would want that my sufferings would form wings for me in order to let me fly into my Celestial Fatherland, and instead of afflicting me, my little sufferings would make for me a feast.”

And I felt worried by this, and my beloved Jesus added: “My daughter, do not marvel. Sufferings smile before Glory; they feel triumphant in seeing the conquests that they have acquired. Sufferings confirm and establish the greater or lesser Glory in the creature, and according to the sufferings, so she feels painted the most beautiful and various tints of Beauty, and seeing themselves transformed into the rarest Beauty, they celebrate. In fact, on earth sufferings cry, at the doors of Heaven they begin their Eternal smile that does not end anymore. The sufferings on earth are bearers of humiliations, at the Eternal Doors they are bearers of Glory. On earth they make the poor creature unhappy, but with the Miraculous Secret that they possess, they labor in the most intimate fibers and in the whole human being the Eternal Kingdom in a way that every suffering takes its distinct Office: some act as chisel, some hammer, some file, some brush, some color. And then they leave the creature entrusted to them, when each suffering has completed its labor, and triumphantly they conduct her to Heaven and then they leave here when they see each suffering exchanged into distinct Joys and into Perennial Happiness—provided, however, that the creature receives them with Love. And they feel and receive in every suffering the kiss, the embraces, and the strong squeezes of My Divine Will.

“Sufferings, then, possess this Miraculous Virtue, otherwise they become as if they did not have suitable instruments in order to complete their labor. But do you want to know who the suffering is? I am the suffering, who hides inside of it in order to form somber labors for My Celestial Fatherland, and I abundantly exchange the brief residence that they have given Me on earth. I am imprisoned in the poor jail of the creature in order to continue My Life of sufferings down below. It is just that this Life of Mine receive Its Joys, Its Happiness, Its exchange of Glory in the Celestial Regions. Therefore your marvels will cease in hearing that your sufferings smile before the Victories, before the Triumphs, and before the Conquests.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 13, 1927 Volume 20

Then, after this, I began to pray, bringing all Creation together with me before the Supreme Majesty – that is, the heavens, the stars, the sun, the sea - in sum, everything, so that my prayer might be animated by all the acts which the Supreme Fiat exercises in all Creation. My sweet Jesus placed Himself near me, leaning His head against mine, extending His arm around my neck, almost to sustain me. And I said to Him: “My Love, Jesus, I am not the only one praying You, but together with me there is Your Will operating in the whole Creation, praying for the coming of Your Kingdom. It Itself wants Its rights, all whole and complete, over everyone and everything; and only with the coming of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat upon earth will all of Its rights be given back to It. Listen, oh Jesus, how touching is the voice of Your Fiat in the whole azure of the heavens; how eloquent it is in the sun; how attractive and strong it is in the sea. Everywhere can Your Fiat be heard resounding, wanting the rights of Its Kingdom. O please! listen to Your own Fiat; listen to Your little daughter who, making all of Its Acts her own, prays You, supplicates You, that Your Kingdom come. And even though I am just newly born, I too want my rights; and do You know, O Jesus, what these are? That I give back to Your Will all the glory and the honor as if no one had offended It, as if everyone had fulfilled It, adored It and loved It. If I am Its daughter, I want that Its Rights be given back to It, and I want also that my first father Adam be given back the honor as if he had never withdrawn from your Will.”

And my most sweet Jesus, all moved, said to me: “To my little daughter who takes to heart so much the Rights of My Divine Fiat, and who uses Its very Power in order to open her way to My Heart, everything will be granted. How not to content you, My daughter? To you everything will be given; even more, we will adjust together that which regards My Will and that which regards the creatures. Aren’t you happy? Look, My daughter – from the moment My Will entered the field in Creation, It has always been firm and unshakable in doing good, in spite of the many moodinesses and offenses of the creatures. Triumphing over all, It has followed Its usual course – doing good, always. See, in order to make the creature ascend again into the Firmness, into the Perennial Good, into the Unshakability of My Will, I want to establish My Kingdom in their midst. See then, at what point I have placed you – in the Firmness and Unshakability of the Fiat, to allow you to extend this Kingdom of Mine within It. And just as My Will triumphs over everything with Its Firmness, so will you triumph over everything with Its Firmness and in the Unshakability of Its Acts, and you will reorder the Divine Order between the two wills — the Divine Will will be reintegrated in Its Glory, and the human will will place itself once again in the order established by God.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 12, 1900 Volume 3

Finding myself in my usual state, my adorable Jesus came in a pitiful state. He had His hands bound tightly, His face covered with spit, and many people were slapping Him horribly. And He remained quiet, placid, without making one movement or emitting one lament; not even a batting of eyelashes, in order to show that He Himself wanted to suffer these outrages; and this, not only externally, but also internally. What a moving scene, such as to break the hardest hearts! How many things that Face said, with that spit hanging, dirtied with mud! I felt horrified, I trembled, I saw myself all pride before Jesus.

While He was in that appearance, He said to me: “My daughter, only the little ones let themselves be handled as one wants; not those who are little of human reason, but those who are little yet filled with Divine Reason. I alone can say that I am humble, because in man, that which is said to be humility should rather be called knowledge of self; and one who does not know himself already walks in falsehood.”

Jesus remained silent for a few minutes, and I stayed there, contemplating Him. While I was doing this, I saw a hand carrying a light, which, searching in my interior, in the most intimate hiding places, wanted to see whether the knowledge of myself and love of humiliations, confusions and opprobriums, were present in me. That light found a void in my interior – and I too saw it – which had to be filled with humiliations and confusions, in the example of blessed Jesus. Oh, how many things that light and that holy Face which was before me, made me understand! I said to myself: “A God, humiliated and confused for love of me, and I, a sinner, without these insignia! A God, stable, firm in bearing so many insults, to the point that He does not move, not one bit, to shake that disgusting spit off of Himself. Ah, His interior before God, and His exterior before men are made manifest to me; and yet, if He wanted to free Himself, He could, because it is not the chains that bind Him, but His firm Will, which wants to save mankind at any cost. And I? And I? Where are my humiliations? Where, the firmness, the constancy in doing good for love of my Jesus and for love of my neighbor? Ah, how different we are as victims – myself and Jesus! Ah, we are not similar at all!”

While my little brain was wandering in this, my adorable Jesus told me: “Only My Humanity was filled with opprobriums and humiliations, to the point that they overflowed outside. This is why Heaven and earth tremble before My Virtues, and the souls who love Me use My Humanity as a staircase in order to ascend and lap up a few little drops of My Virtues. Tell me now: before My humility, where is yours? I alone can glory in possessing true humility. My Divinity, united to My Humanity, could operate prodigies at each step, word and work; yet, I voluntarily constrained Myself within the circle of My Humanity, I showed Myself as the poorest, and I reached the point of mingling with sinners themselves. I could have done the Work of Redemption in very little time, and even with one single word; yet, during the course of many years, with many hardships and sufferings, I wanted to make the miseries of man My own; I wanted to exercise Myself in many different actions, so that man might be completely renewed and Divinized, even in the lowest works. In fact, once they had been exercised by Me, who was God and Man, they received new splendor, and remained with the mark of Divine Works. My Divinity, hidden within My Humanity, wanted to lower Itself to such baseness, subjecting Itself to the course of human actions — while with one single act of my Will I could have created infinite worlds — feeling the miseries and the weaknesses of others as if they were Its own, seeing Itself covered with all the sins of men before Divine Justice, having to pay their penalty at the price of unheard-of pains and with the shedding of all Its Blood.... Thus It exercised continuous acts of profound and heroic humility.

“Oh daughter, here is the immense difference between My humility and the humility of creatures, even that of all of My Saints, which is only a shadow in the face of Mine; because the creature is always a creature and does not know, as I know, how great is the weight of sin. Even though heroic souls, following My example, have offered themselves to suffer the pains of others, their pains are not different from those of the other creatures; they are not new things for them, because they are made of the same clay. Moreover, the mere thought that those pains are the cause of new gains, and that they glorify God, is a great honor for them. Furthermore, the creature is restricted within the circle in which God placed her, and she cannot go out of those limits within which she has been circumscribed by God. Oh, if it were in their power to do or undo things, how many other things they would do — everyone would reach the stars! But My Divinized Humanity had no limits, yet It voluntarily constrained Itself within Itself; and this was the braiding of all My Works with heroic humility.

“This had been the cause of all evils which inundate the earth – lack of humility; and by exercising this virtue, I was to draw all goods from Divine Justice. Ah, yes, no concessions of graces come from My throne, if not by means of humility, nor can any ticket be received by Me, if it does not carry the signature of humility. No prayer is listened to by My ears, and moves My Heart to compassion, if it is not perfumed by the fragrance of humility. If the creature does not arrive at destroying that seed of honor, of esteem – and this can be destroyed by arriving at loving to be despised, humiliated, confused – she will feel a braiding of thorns around her heart; she will feel a void in her heart which will always bother her, and will render her very dissimilar from my Most Holy Humanity. If she does not arrive at loving humiliations, at the most she will be able to know herself a little bit, but will not shine before Me, clothed with the garment of humility, beautiful and worthy of sympathy.”

Who can say how many things I understood about this virtue, and the difference between knowledge of self and humility? I seemed to touch with my own hand the distinction between these two virtues, but I have no words to explain myself.

In order to say something, I will use an image. For example, a poor man says he is poor, and he frankly manifests his poverty, also to people who do not know him and who may believe that he possesses something. One can say that he knows himself and tells the truth; and because of this, he is loved more, he moves others to compassion for his miserable state, and everyone helps him. So it is to know oneself. If then, feeling ashamed of manifesting his poverty, that poor man boasted of being rich, while everyone knows that he does not even have clothes to cover himself and that he is dying of starvation – what happens? Everyone despises him, nobody helps him, and he becomes an object of mockery and ridicule to anyone who knows him; and the miserable one, going from bad to worse, ends up dying. So is pride before God and also before other men. And here is how one who does not know himself already leaves the truth and slumps into the path of falsehood.

Now, here is the difference with humility, though it seems to me that knowledge of self and humility are sisters born of the same womb, and one can never be humble if he does not know himself. For example, there is a rich man who, out of love for humiliations, stripping himself of his noble garments, covers himself with miserable rags. He lives unknown, manifesting to no one who he is; he mingles with the poorest, he lives with the poor as if he were one of them, and makes scorns and confusions his delights. Here is the beautiful sister of the knowledge of self, which is humility.

Ah, yes, humility draws grace; humility breaks the strongest chains, which are sin. Humility surmounts any wall of division between the soul and God, and brings her back to Him. Humility is a little plant, but always green and flowery, not subject to being gnawed by worms; nor will winds, hail or heat be able to do harm to it, or make it wither, even slightly. Though being the littlest plant, humility produces very high branches, which penetrate even into Heaven, braiding around the Heart of Our Lord; and only the branches which come from this plant have free access into that adorable Heart. Humility is the anchor of peace during the storms of the sea waves of this life. Humility is the salt which spices all virtues and preserves the soul from the corruption of sin. Humility is the little grass which sprouts along the way treaded by wayfarers; while being treaded, it disappears, but soon one can see it sprout again, more beautiful than before. Humility is like a gentle graft, which renders the wild plant gentle. Humility is the sunset of guilt. Humility is the newborn of grace. Humility is like the moon, which guides us in the darkness of the night of this life. Humility is like that shrewd merchant who knows well how to trade his riches, and wastes not even one cent of the grace that is given to him. Humility is the key of the door of Heaven, such that no one can enter into It if he does not keep this key in good custody. Finally – otherwise I would never end and I would be too long – humility is the smile of God and of all Heaven, and it is the crying of all hell.

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 11, 1922 Volume 13

Finding myself in my usual state, I was thinking about the Holy Divine Will, and I said to myself: “All the children of the Church are members of the Mystical Body, of which Jesus is the Head. What place will the souls who do the Will of God occupy in this Mystical Body?” And Jesus, always benign, on coming, told me: "My daughter, the Church is My Mystical Body, of which I glory in being the Head. But in order to enter this Mystical Body, the members must grow to a proper stature, otherwise they would deform My Body. But, alas! — how many not only do not have the due proportion, but are rotten, wounded, so much as to be disgusting to My Head and to the other healthy members. Now, the souls who live, or will live in My Will will be for the Body of My Church like skin to the body. The body has internal skin and external skin, and because in the skin there is the blood circulation which gives life to the whole body, it is by virtue of this circulation that the members reach the proper stature. If it wasn’t for the skin and for the blood circulation, the human body would be horrible to the sight, and its members would not grow to the due proportion.

“Now, see how these souls who live in My Will are necessary to Me. Since I have destined them to be like skin to the body of My Church, and like circulation of life for all the members, they will be the ones who will give the proper growth to the members which have not grown; who will heal the wounded members, and who will restore the freshness, the beauty, the splendor of the whole Mystical Body by their continuous living in My Will, rendering it fully similar to My Head, which will sit in full majesty upon all those members. This is why the end of days cannot come if I do not have these souls who live as though dissolved in My Will — they interest Me more than anything. What impression would this Mystical Body make in the Celestial Jerusalem without them? And if this is what interests Me more than anything, it must interest you also more than anything, if you love Me. From now on, I will give to your acts done in My Will the virtue of circulation of Life for the whole Mystical Body of the Church. Just like the blood circulation in the human body, your acts, extended within the Immensity of My Will, will extend over all and will cover these members like skin, giving them proper growth. Therefore, be attentive and faithful."

Then, afterwards, I was praying, all abandoned in the Will of Jesus, and almost without thinking, I said: “My Love — everything in Your Will: my little pains, my prayers, my heartbeat, my breathing — all I am and all I can, united to all that You are, so as to give proper growth to the members of the Mystical Body." In hearing me, Jesus made Himself seen again, and smiling with satisfaction, added: "How beautiful it is to see My Truths in your heart as fount of Life immediately having the development and the effect for which they have communicated themselves! Therefore, correspond with Me, and as soon as I see one Truth developed, I will make it an honor for Myself to make another fount of Truth arise."

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 10, 1938 Volume 35

I was doing the round in the Divine Fiat—and O, how I yearned that no Act might escape me, of all that It has done, both in the Creation and the Redemption. I feel that I lack something if I don’t recognize all that It did, loving it, kissing it, squeezing it to my heart, as if it were mine. The Divine Volition would remained displeased if one who Lives in It did not know all of Its Acts, and if It couldn’t find the little ‘I love you’ from Its beloved one, in everything It did. There is nothing It did not do for this creature.

So I arrived to follow the point when the Celestial Baby was in Egypt, in the act of taking His first steps. I kissed His steps, I placed my ‘I love you’ in every step He took, and I asked Him for the first steps of His Will for all human generations. I tried to follow Him in everything. If He prayed, if He cried—I asked that His Will might animate all the prayers of the creatures, and that His tears might regenerate the Life of Its Fiat in the human family.

So, while I was attentive in following Him in everything, the little Baby King, visiting my poor soul, said to me: “Daughter of My Will, how Happy I am when the creature does not leave Me alone! I feel her behind Me, in front of Me, and inside all My Acts. Now, you must know that My exile in Egypt was not without Conquests. When I was about three years old, from our little hovel I could hear the children playing and shouting in the street; and as little as I was, I went out in their midst. As soon as they saw Me, they ran around Me, competing with themselves for who could get the closest to Me, because My Beauty, the Enchantment of My Gaze and the Sweetness of My Voice were such that they felt enraptured for love of Me. So, they would throng around Me, loving Me so much that they could not detach themselves from Me. I too Loved these children, so I gave My first little sermon to these little ones, adapting Myself to their tiny capacity—since when Love is True, It not only tries to make Itself known, but also to give all that may render one Happy in time and Eternity; more so, since, possessing innocence, they could easily understand Me.
“And would you like to know what My Sermon was about? I said to them: ‘My children, listen to Me. I Love you very much and I want to make you know about your Origin. Look up at Heaven. Up there you have a Celestial Father who Loves you very much, and who was not satisfied to be your Father only from Heaven—to guide you, to Create for you a sun, a sea, a flowery earth to make you happy; but, Loving you with Exuberant Love, He wanted to descend inside your hearts, to form His Royal Residence in the depth of your souls, making Himself sweet Prisoner of each one of you. But, to do what? To give Life to your heartbeat, breath and motion. So, as you walk, He walks in your steps; He moves in your little hands; He speaks in your voice... and because He Loves you very much, as you walk or move—now He kisses you, now He squeezes you, now He hugs you and carries you Triumphantly as His own dear children. How many hidden kisses and hugs Our Celestial Father does not give you! But since, being inattentive, you didn’t let your kiss meet His kiss, and your hugs meet His Paternal Embrace, He remained with the Pain that His children neither hugged Him nor kissed Him.
“‘My dear children, do you know what this Celestial Father wants from you? He wants to be recognized within you, as having His own place in the center of your souls; and since He gives you everything—there is nothing He does not give to you—He wants your love in everything you do. Love Him! Let love be always in your little hearts, your lips, your works—in everything—and this will be the delicious food that you will give to His Paternity.

“‘He Loves you very much and wants to be Loved. Nobody can ever love you as He Loves you. It is true that you have a father on earth, but how different from the Love of the Celestial Father! Your father on earth does not always follow you, watch over your steps, or sleep together with you; neither does he palpitate within your heart, and if you fall, he may not even know anything about it. On the other hand, your Celestial Father never leaves you. If you are about to fall, He gives you His hand not to let you fall; if you sleep, He watches over you; and even if you play and do something impertinent, He is always with you and knows everything you do. Therefore, love Him very, very much!’

“And, getting more excited, I told them: ‘Give Me your word that you will always, always love Him! Say together with Me: “We love You, our Father who are in the Heavens. We love You, our Father who dwells in our hearts!”’

“My daughter, at My Words some children remained moved, some enraptured; some squeezed themselves to Me so much that they wouldn’t let Me go. I made them feel the Palpitating Life of My Celestial Father inside their little hearts, and they rejoiced and made feast, because they no longer had a Father who was far away from them, but inside their own hearts. And to make them firm and give them the strength to depart from Me, I Blessed those children, Renewing upon them Our Creative Power—invoking the Power of the Father, the Wisdom of Myself, the Son, and the Virtue of the Holy Spirit; and I told them: ‘Go—you will return.’ So they left....

“But they would come back the following days, almost in a crowd—a throng—of children. They set themselves to spy when I was about to go out, and to see what I was doing in our hovel. And when I went out they would clap their hands, making feast and shouting so much that My Mother would come out the door to see what was happening. O, how enraptured She would remain, in seeing her Son speaking to those children with so much Grace. She felt Her Heart bursting with Love, and could see the first fruits of My Life down here, since none of these children who listened to Me—not a single one of them—was lost. Knowing that they had a Father inside their hearts was like a deposit, to be able to own the Celestial Fatherland—to love that Father who was in Heaven as well.

“My daughter, this sermon that I, as a little Baby, gave to the children of Egypt, was the foundation—the Essence of the Creation of Man. It contains the most Indispensable Doctrine and the Highest Sanctity. It makes Love arise in every instant: the Love between the Creator and the creature. What Pain, in seeing many little lives that do not know the Life of a God within their souls! They grow without Divine Paternity, as if they were alone in the world. They do not feel and do not know how much they are Loved. So, how can they love me? Without love, the heart hardens and the life is degraded and—poor youth!—they give themselves to the gravest crimes.... This is a Pain for your Jesus, and I want it to be a pain for you as well, so that you pray for many, that they may be taught that I am in their hearts—that I Love and I want to be Loved.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 9, 1920 Volume 12

I was praying, and with my thought I was fusing myself in the Eternal Volition; and bringing myself before the Supreme Majesty, I said: “Eternal Majesty, I come to Your feet in the name of the whole human family, from the first to the last man of the future generations, to adore You profoundly. At Your Most Holy feet I want to seal the adorations of all; I come to recognize You in the name of all as Creator and absolute Ruler of all. I come to love You for all and for each one; I come to return love to You for all, because of each created thing, in which You placed so much love that the creature will never find enough love to repay You in love. But in Your Will I find this love, and wanting that my love, as well as the other acts, be complete, full and for all, I have come into Your Will where everything is immense and eternal, and where I can find love to be able to love You for all. So, I love You for each star You have created; I love You for all the drops of light and for all the intensity of heat which You have placed in the Sun...” But who can tell all that my poor mind was saying? I would be too long; therefore I stop here.

Now, while I was doing this, a thought told me: “How is it, and in what way did Our Lord place rivers of Love for the creature in each created thing? And a light answered my thought: ‘Indeed, My daughter, My Love poured out in torrents toward the creature in each created thing. I told you elsewhere and I confirm to you now that, as My uncreated Love created the Sun, It placed oceans of Love in it. In each drop of light which was to inundate the eye, the step, the hand, and everything of the creature, My Love ran toward her; and almost pounding sweetly on her eye, hand, step and mouth, It gives her My eternal Kiss and It holds out My Love to her.

“Together with light, runs the heat, and pounding on her again, a little more strongly, almost impatient for the love of the creature, to the extent of pelting her, I repeat to her more intensely My eternal ‘I love you.’ And if the sun fecundates the plants with Its light and heat, it is My Love that runs to nourish man; and if I extended the heavens above man’s head, studding it with stars, it is My Love that, wanting to delight the eyes of man, also at night, repeats to him My ‘I love you’ in every sparkling of star... So, each created thing holds out My Love to man; and if it were not so, Creation would have no purpose; and I do nothing without Purpose. Everything has been made for man; but man does not recognize it, and he has turned into sorrow for Me.

“Therefore, My daughter, if you want to soothe My sorrow, come often into My Will and give Me, in the name of all, adoration, love, gratitude and thanksgiving for everything."

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 8, 1919 Volume 12

… Then Jesus came back, and surrounding my neck with His arm, added: "My beloved, courage. Enter into Me, come and swim in the immense sea of My Volition, of My Love. Hide yourself inside the uncreated Will and Love of your Creator. My Volition has the power to render infinite all that enters into My Will, and to raise and transform the acts of the creatures into Eternal acts. In fact, all that enters into My Will acquires Eternity, Infinity, Immensity, losing all that has a beginning, that which is finite, little. All that My Will is, so It renders their acts. Therefore, say — shout loudly in My Will: ‘I Love You’. I will hear the note of My Eternal Love; I will feel the created love hidden inside the uncreated Love, and I will feel Myself being loved by the creature with an Eternal, Infinite, Immense Love — a Love worthy of Me, which stands in for Me, and which can compensate Me for the love of all."

I remained surprised and enchanted, and I said: “Jesus, what are You saying?” And He: "My dear, do not be surprised. Everything is eternal in Me — nothing has a beginning, nor will it have an end. You yourself and all creatures were eternal in My Mind. The Love with which I formed Creation, which was unleashed from Me and which endowed every heart, was Eternal. What is the wonder, then, if the creature, leaving her own will, enters into Mine, and uniting herself to the Love which longed for her and loved her from Eternity, and binding herself with that Eternal Love from which she came, performs her acts, loves Me, and acquires Eternal, Infinite, Immense value and power? Oh, how little it is known about My Will! This is why It is not loved nor appreciated; and because of this, the creature is content with remaining down below, operating as if she did not have an eternal origin, but a temporary one."

I myself don’t know whether I am speaking nonsense. My lovable Jesus casts such light into my mind about His Most Holy Will that I am not only unable to contain it, but I lack the right words to express myself. So, while my mind was wandering within this light, blessed Jesus gave me a simile, telling me: "In order to let you understand better what I told you, imagine a Sun. This Sun spreads many little lights, diffusing them over the whole Creation, giving them full freedom to live, either spread through the Creation, or inside the Sun Itself, from which they came out. Isn’t it right that the little lights which live in the Sun — their acts, their love — acquire the heat, the love, the power and the immensity of the Sun Itself? After all, they used to be within the Sun, they are part of the Sun, they live at the expense of the Sun, and live the same life of the Sun. By no means do they increase or reduce this Sun, because what is immense is not subject to grow or to decrease; the Sun only receives the glory, the honor that these tiny lights return to It, making a life in common with It. This is all the accomplishment and satisfaction of the Sun. I am the Sun. The little lights which come from the Sun are the creatures. The lights which live inside the Sun are the souls who live in my Will. Have you understood now?"

“I believe so...” But who can say what I comprehended? I would have wanted to remain silent, but the FIAT of Jesus did not want it; so I kissed His FIAT, and I wrote in His Will. May He be always blessed.

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 7, 1938 Volume 35

My poor mind was flowing in the Divine Volition, and I could see the anxiety, the desires and the Happiness It feels in seeing whether the creature wants to Live together with It, to Love It with Its own Love and, if she cannot do more than this, to enclose Its anxiety and ardent sighs within her soul, to say: “I am here with You. I will never leave You alone. I will calm Your anxiety of Love and make You happy...”

But as I was thinking this, my dear Jesus, my sweet Life, visiting my little soul with such great Love, as if His Adorable Heart was ready to explode, told me: “My dearest daughter, Heaven, earth and all the creatures are completely wrapped, as though enclosed within the Intensity of Our Love. Our Volition flows with such rapidity in every fiber, in every atom, in every instant—with such speed and fullness that nothing remains, not even a breath, that is not Life of Our Will. Our Love Loves ardently, but with such ardor that It feels the need of someone to bring a little refreshment to the Immensity of Its Love.

“Now, do you want to know what can give relief to the Intensity, Totality and Fullness of Our Love? The ‘I love you’ of the creature. And the more she says it, the more refreshments she brings to Us. This ‘I love you’ enters into Our Flames; it breaks Them, it raises Them, it soothes Them, and as the sweetest refreshment she says: ‘I love you, I love you. You Love because You want Love, and I am here to love you...’ This ‘I love you’ finds its way inside Our Intensity, forming its own little place—the little space in which to place its ‘I love you.’ Therefore, the ‘I love you’ of the creature is the support for Ours—Our Refreshment, the quiet for Our Love, that It may rave too much. My daughter, to Love, not being loved, is like trying to obstruct the course of Our Love, restraining It within Ourselves—making Us feel all the Pain and the hardness of Our unreturned Love. So We go in search of one who loves Us. Her ‘I love you’ is so sweet and refreshing for Us that who knows what We would give her to have it.

“See then, how We find the refuge for Our Life in the one who Lives in Our Will. We do nothing other than exchange Our Lives continuously: she gives Us her life, and We give her Ours. In this exchange of Life, We find the one who can receive Our Life; giving Us her own, so We can give of Ourselves and do whatever We want—We feel like God, as We are. Therefore, Living in Our Will serves Us as a refuge—a theater for Our Works, refreshment for Our Love and return for the entire Creation. Since there is nothing We don’t find in this creature, We Love her so much that We feel obliged to give her whatever she wants. For each additional act she does in Our Will, she ties Us more and adds more chains. And do you know what she gives to Us to make Us feel obliged? Our Life, Our Works, Our Love and Our very Will. Do you think this is trivial? Everything that she gives Us is so exuberant that if it weren’t for Our Power, which can give anything, We would lack the means to repay her. But Our Love, which never lets Itself be won and surpassed by the love of the creature, goes in search of New Devices—inventing New Stratagems—to the extent of giving back Our Life many times; to fulfill Its obligation toward Its beloved creature.

“In Its Emphasis of Love, It says: ‘How Happy I am that you Live in My Will! You are My Joy and My Happiness; so much so, that I feel as if obliged to give you air to breathe, and feeling obliged, I Breathe together with you. The sun brings you its light in My Hands; but I don’t leave you alone—I remain with you. Therefore, there is nothing—water, fire, food, and all the rest—that I do not bring you with My own Hands, because I feel obliged; and I want to remain with you to see how you take it—I want to do everything by Myself...’ And if, as she takes, she tells me, ‘I take everything in Your Will because I love you. I want to Love You and Glorify You with your own Will,’ ...O, who can tell you, then, of the relief she gives Me as she tries to repay Me. And I let her— but I always come back with My Love Surprises. Therefore, please, make me happy by Living always heart-to-heart and synchronized with My Will, and we’ll be Happy and Joyful together—you and I.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 6, 1904 Volume 6

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Baby Jesus came, and after He placed Himself in my arms and He blessed me with His little hands, He told me: “My daughter, since the human race is all one family; when someone does some good work and offers something to Me, the whole human family participates in that offering and is present to Me as if all were offering it. As for example, today, as the Magi offered their gifts to Me, I had all human generations present in their persons, and all participated in the merit of their good work. The first thing they offered to Me was gold, and I, in return, gave them the intelligence and the knowledge of Truth. But do you know which gold I want now from souls? Not material gold – no, but spiritual gold; that is, the gold of their will, the gold of their affections, of their desires, of their own tastes, the gold of the whole interior of man. This is all the gold that the soul has, and I want it all for Myself. Now, it is almost difficult for the soul to give this to Me without sacrificing and mortifying herself; and this is how myrrh, like electric wire, binds the interior of man, renders it more shining, and gives it the shades of multiple colors, giving all species of Beauty to the soul. But this is not all; it takes someone who maintains the colors and the freshness always alive, which, almost like fragrance and breeze, blow from within the soul. It takes someone who offers and obtains greater gifts than the ones he gives; and it also takes someone who forces the One who receives and the One who gives to dwell in his own interior, keeping Him in continuous conversation and in continuous commerce with himself. So, who does all this? It is Prayer, especially the spirit of interior prayer, which knows how to convert into gold, not only the internal works, but also the external works - and this is the incense.”

This morning I felt almost free of sufferings. I myself did not know what to do, when I felt I was outside of myself and I saw people from our country who, in addition to the words and the calumnies they had spoken, were plotting to come to deeds. In the meantime I saw blessed Jesus and I said: “Lord, You give too much liberty to these infernal men. Up until now it has been about infernal words, but now they want to reach the point of laying hands on Your ministers. Bind them, and have compassion on them, and, at the same time, defend those who belong to You.” And He: "Daughter, this freedom is necessary in order to recognize the good and the evil. Know, however, that I am tired of man – so tired that I share it with you. In fact, when you feel that tiredness of this state of victim, and almost the will to go out of it, this comes to you from Me; and I warn you to be attentive not to put your will in, for I am looking for the will of the creature to lean on it and chastise the rebels. But, let us try – again I will make you suffer, and they will be left without strength and will not be able to do anything of what they want."  Who can say what I suffered and how many times He renewed my crucifixion! And while doing this, raising His hand toward Heaven, He told me: "My daughter, I did not make man for the earth, but for Heaven; his mind, his heart, and everything that his interior contains were to exist in Heaven. Had he done this, he would have received the influence of the Most Holy Trinity within his three powers, and It would have been copied within himself; but since he occupies himself with earth, he receives mud, rot, and the whole bilge of vices that the earth contains." 

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 4, 1925 Volume 17

Having completed my whole day, I was thinking to myself: “What else is left for me to do?” And in my interior, I heard: "You have to do the most important thing – your last act of fusing yourself in the Divine Will."

So, according to my usual way, I started to fuse all my poor being in the Supreme Will; and as I was doing so, it seemed to me that the Heavens were opening, and I went to meet the whole Celestial Court, and all of Heaven came toward me. And my sweet Jesus told me: "My daughter, fusing yourself in My Will is the most solemn act, the greatest one, the most important of all your life. To fuse yourself in My Will is to enter the sphere of Eternity, embrace It, kiss It, and receive the deposit of the goods which the Eternal Will contains. Even more, as the soul fuses herself in the Supreme Volition, all go to meet her, in order to communicate to her all the goods and the glory they have. The Angels, the Saints, the very Divinity — they all communicate, knowing that they communicate in that same Will in Which everything is safe. Even more, in receiving these goods, the soul multiplies them through her acts in the Divine Will, and gives back double glory and honor to the whole of Heaven. Therefore, by fusing yourself in My Will, you put Heaven and earth in motion. It is a new feast for the whole Heaven.

“And since to fuse oneself in My Will is to love and to give, for each one and for all, without excluding anyone — in My Goodness, so as not to be won over in love by the creature, I place in her – in My Will – the goods of all, and all the possible goods I contain within Me. Nor can there be a lack of space in which to place all the goods, because My Will is immense, and is capable of receiving everything. If you knew what you do and what happens when you fuse yourself in My Will, you would eagerly yearn to do it continuously.”

Afterwards, I was thinking about whether I had to write what is written above, or not. I didn’t see it as necessary, or as an important thing; more so, since obedience had given me no order to do it. And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: "My daughter, how can it not be important to make it known that fusing oneself in My Will is to live in It? The soul who fuses herself in My Will receives, as though in deposit, all My Divine and Eternal Goods. The very Saints compete with each other in order to deposit their merits in the soul fused in My Will, because they feel in her the Glory, the Power of My Will, and feel glorified in a Divine manner by the littleness of the creature.

“Listen, My daughter: to live in My Will surpasses even martyrdom in merit. Martyrdom kills the body, but living in My Will implies that the creature kills her own will with a Divine hand, and It gives her the nobility of a Divine Martyrdom. And every time the soul decides to live in My Will, My Volition prepares the blow in order to kill the human will, and forms the noble martyrdom of the soul. But in order to reach this happy state, the human will and the Divine Will must be tied together: one has to give the place to the Other, and the human will must be content with remaining extinguished under the power of the Divine Will. Therefore, every time you dispose yourself to live in My Volition, you dispose yourself to undergo the martyrdom of your will.

“Do you see, then, what it means to fuse oneself in My Will? It is to be the continuous martyr of My Supreme Will. And you think it’s trivial, or not important?"

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 3, 1907 Volume 7

Continuing in my usual state, I saw blessed Jesus for just a little, and He told me: "My daughter, if one fears much, it is a sign that she relies much on herself, because in noticing nothing but weaknesses and miseries within herself, she naturally and justly fears. On the other hand, if one fears nothing, it is a sign that she relies on God, because by relying on God, her miseries and weaknesses are dissolved in God, and as she feels invested by the Divine Being, it is no longer she who operates, but God within her. So, what can she fear? Therefore, true trust reproduces Divine Life in the soul."

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 2, 1923 Volume 15

I was praying and abandoning all of myself in the arms of the Most Holy Will of God, and my always lovable Jesus, coming out from my interior and taking my hand, told me: “My daughter, come with Me and look at the great void which exists between Heaven and earth. Before My Fiat was pronounced, this great void was horrible to the sight. Everything was disorder; no separation of land, of water, or of mountains could be seen – it was one heap that struck fright. But as soon as My Fiat was pronounced, all things rolled about, bumping against one another, and each of them took its place, remaining all ordered with the imprint of My Eternal Fiat; nor can they move if My Fiat does not want it. The earth no longer struck fright; on the contrary, as one sees the vastness of the seas, their waters no longer muddy but crystal clear, their sweet murmuring, as if the waters were voices speaking softly and quietly among themselves, their roaring waves which sometimes rise so high as to make mountains of water appear, which then fall back again into the same sea — how much beauty does this not contain? How much order — and how much attention does it not earn from creatures? And then, the earth, all green and flowery — how much variety of beauty does it not contain? But this was nothing yet. The void was not completely filled; and just as My Fiat hovered over the earth and separated things and ordered the earth, in the same way, hovering up high, It extended the heavens, It adorned them with stars, and in order to fill the void of darkness, It created the sun which, dispelling darkness, filled this great void with light and made all the beauty of all Creation stand out. But what was the cause of so much good? My omnipotent Fiat. However, this Fiat wanted a void in order to create this machine of the universe.

“Now, My daughter, do you see this great void in which I created so many things? Yet, the void of the soul is even greater. The former was to serve as the dwelling of man; the void of the soul was to serve as the dwelling of a God. I was not to pronounce My Fiat for six days, as in creating the universe, but for as many days as the life of man contains — and so many times for as many as, putting his own will aside, he would let Mine operate. Therefore, since My Fiat was to do more things than It did in Creation, more space was needed. But do you know who gives Me free field in order to fill this great void of the soul? One who lives in My Will. My Fiats are pronounced repeatedly; every thought is accompanied by the power of My Fiat, and – oh! how many stars adorn the heaven of the intelligence of the soul. Her actions are followed by My Fiat, and – oh! how many suns rise within her. Her words, invested by My Fiat, are sweeter than the murmuring of the waters of the sea, in which the sea of My Graces flows in order to fill this great void, and My Fiat delights in forming waves that rise up high, beyond Heaven, and descend again, more loaded, in order to expand the sea of the soul. My Fiat blows upon her heart, and of her heartbeats It makes fires of Love. My Fiat leaves nothing out; It invests every affection, and tendencies, desires, and forms in them the most beautiful flowerings.

“How many things does My Fiat not operate in this great void of the soul who lives in My Will! Oh! how the whole machine of the universe is left behind. The heavens are astonished; trembling, they watch the omnipotent Fiat operating in the will of the creature, and they feel their happiness being doubled every time this Fiat acts and renews Its Creative Power. So, they are all attentive around Me, to see when My Fiat is pronounced, in order to receive their double glory and happiness. Oh! if all knew the Power of My Fiat and the great good It contains, they would all give themselves prey to My Omnipotent Will. Yet, there is to weep about. How many souls, with these great voids within themselves, are worse than the great void of the universe before My Fiat was pronounced! Since My Fiat does not hover within them, everything is disorder, the darkness is so thick as to strike horror and fright. There is one heap, all mixed together — nothing is in place. The work of Creation is upset in them, because My Fiat alone is order; the human will is disorder.

“Therefore, My daughter, if you want order within yourself, let My Fiat be the life of everything in you, and you will give Me the great contentment that My Fiat may be able to unfold, putting out the Prodigies and the Goods It contains.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 1, 1927 Volume 20

I was meditating on the old year which was setting, and the new one which was rising. My state continued in the flight of the Light of the Divine Will, and I prayed the pretty Little Baby that, just as the old year was dying never to be born again, He would make my will die and live no more; and as gift for the new year, He would give me His Will, just as I gave Him mine as gift, placing it as footstool at His tender little feet, that it might have no life but His Will alone. Now, while I was saying these and other things, my sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and told me: “Daughter of My Will, how I love, want and yearn that your will may end in you. Oh, how I accept your gift! How pleasing it will be for Me to keep it at my feet as a soft footstool. In fact, as long as it remains in the creature, outside of its center, which is God, the human will is hard; but when it enters once again into the center from which it came, serving as footstool at the feet of its Little Baby Jesus, it becomes soft, and I use it to amuse Myself. Is it not fair that, being little, I have My amusement? And that in the midst of so many sorrows, privations and tears, I may hold your will to make Me smile? Now, you must know that one who puts an end to his will, returns to the Origin from which he came, and the New Life, the Life of Light, the perennial life of My Will, begins in him.

“See, when I came upon earth, I wanted to give many examples and similes about how I wanted the human will to end. I wanted to be born at midnight, so as to break the night of the human will with the refulgent Day of Mine. And even though at midnight the night continues and does not finish, it is yet the beginning of a New Day; and My Angels, to honor My birth and to point out to everyone the day of My Will, from midnight on, enlivened the vault of the heavens with new stars and new suns, such as to turn the night into more than daylight. This was the homage that the Angels gave to My little Humanity, in which dwelled the full Day of the Sun of My Divine Will, and the call of the creature into the Full Day of It. Still little, I submitted Myself to the cruel cut of circumcision, which made Me shed bitter tears for the pain – and not only to Me, but with Me cried My Mama and dear St. Joseph. It was the cut of the human will that I wanted to make, so that all might let the Divine Will flow within that cut, and so that a broken will might have life no more — but only Mine, which had flowed within that cut in order to begin Its Life again.

“Still little, I wanted to flee to Egypt. A tyrannical and iniquitous will wanted to kill Me – symbol of the human will which wants to kill Mine; so I fled, in order to say to all: ‘Flee the human will, if you do not want Mine to be killed.’ My whole Life was nothing other than the call of the Divine Will into the human. In Egypt I lived like a stranger in the midst of that people – symbol of My Will, which they keep as though estranged within their midst; and symbolizing that whoever wants to live in Peace and united with My Will, must live as though estranged to the human will. Otherwise, there will always be war between the two of them, because they are two irreconcilable wills.

“After My exile, I returned to My fatherland – symbol of My Will which, after Its long exile of centuries upon centuries, will return to Its dear Fatherland, to reign in the midst of Its children. And as I went through these stages in My Life, I kept forming Its Kingdom in Me, and I called It with incessant Prayers, with pains and with tears, to come and Reign in the midst of creatures. I returned to My fatherland and I lived hidden and unknown. Oh, how this symbolizes the sorrow of My Will which, while living in the midst of the peoples, lives unknown and hidden! And with My hiddenness, I impetrated that the Supreme Will might be known, in order to receive the homage and the glory which are due to It.

“There was nothing I did which did not symbolize a sorrow of My Will, the condition in which creatures put It, and the call I made in order to return Its Kingdom to It. And this is what I want your life to be: the continuous call of the Kingdom of My Will into the midst of creatures.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 31, 1902 Volume 4

Continuing to be with a fear that I might oppose the Will of my adorable Jesus, I was feeling all oppressed and distressed, and I prayed Him to free me, saying: “Lord, have pity on me; don’t You see the danger I am in? How is it possible that I, most wretched little worm, dare so much as to feel myself opposed to your Holy Will? And besides, what good can I possibly find, and into what abyss will I plunge myself if I am separated from your Will?" While I was saying this, blessed Jesus moved in my interior, and through a light that He sent me, He seemed to say to me: "You never understand anything – this state is state of victim. When they offered you as victim for Corato, you accepted. Now, what is the evil present in Corato? Is there perhaps not rebellion of the creature against the Creator, between priests and secular, and among parties? Now, your unwanted state of rebellion, your fear, your pains, are an expiatory state, and this state of expiation I Myself suffered in Gethsemani, as I reached the point of saying: ‘If it is possible, let this chalice pass from Me; yet, not my will but Yours be done’ — while I had so much yearned for it during the whole course of my life, to the point of feeling consumed."

On hearing this, it seemed I regained tranquillity and strength, and I prayed Him to pour His bitternesses into me. I drew close to His mouth, but as much as I sucked up, nothing would come out; only a most bitter breath that embittered my whole interior. So, seeing that He was not pouring anything, I said: “Lord, You don’t love me any more; bitternesses You do not want to pour – pour Your sweetnesses at least.’ And He: "Quite the opposite, I love you more; and if you were able to enter into My Interior, you would see with clarity, in all of My parts, distinct Love toward you. Sometimes I love you so much that I reach the point of loving you as much as I love Myself, although some other times I cannot look at you and you are nauseating to Me." What a thunderbolt these last words were for my poor heart! To think that I was not always loved by my loving Jesus, and that I reached the point of being an abominable soul... Had He not Himself run to explain to me the meaning of this, I could not have survived. So He added: "Poor daughter, is this very hard for you? You have encountered My same lot. I was always Who I was, one with the Sacrosanct Trinity, and We loved One Another with eternal, indissoluble Love. Yet, as Victim, covered with all the iniquities of men, My exterior was abominable before the Divinity, so much so, that Divine Justice spared no part of Me, rendering Itself inexorable to the point of abandoning Me. You are always who you are with Me, but since you occupy the state of victim, your exterior appears before Divine Justice as covered with the sins of others. This is why I spoke those words to you. You, however, calm yourself, because I love you always." Having said this, He disappeared. It seems that this time blessed Jesus wants to make me upset, though He immediately gives me peace. May He be always blessed and thanked.

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 30, 1908 Volume 8

I was meditating on the mystery of His infancy, and I said to myself: “My Baby, to how many pains You wanted to subject Yourself! It was not enough for You to come as an adult – You wanted to come as a baby, and suffer from the swaddling clothes, from silence, from the immobility of Your little Humanity, of Your feet, of Your hands... Why all this?”

While I was saying this, He moved in my interior and told me: "My daughter, My Works are Perfect. I wanted to come as a little Infant in order to Divinize all the sacrifices and all the little actions of infancy. So, until children begin to commit sins, everything remains absorbed in My Childhood, and Divinized by Me. When sin then begins, separation begins between Me and the creature — a separation which is sorrowful for Me, and mournful for them."

And I: “How can this be, if babies do not have reason, and are not capable of deserving?” And He: "First, because I give merit by My Grace; second, because it is not out of their will that they do not want to deserve, but because such is the state of infancy disposed by Me. Besides, a gardener who has planted a plant is not only honored, but he also picks the fruit of it, even though the plant does not have reason; the same for an artisan who makes a statue, and for many other things. Sin alone is that which destroys everything and separates the creature from Me; but everything else, even the most trivial action, comes to the creatures from Me, and to Me it returns, with the mark of the honor of My Creation."

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 29, 1923 Volume 16

… Afterwards, I received Holy Communion, and according to my usual way, I was calling all created things, placing them around Jesus, so that all might surround Him like a crown and give the return of love and of homage to their Creator. They all ran at my call, and I could see in clear notes all the love of my Jesus for me, in all created things. Jesus waited in my heart, with great Tenderness of Love, for the return of so much love; and I, flying over all and embracing all, brought myself to the feet of Jesus, and said: “My Love, my Jesus, You have created everything for me, and gave it to me as a Gift; therefore everything is mine, and I give it to You to love You. So I say to You, ‘ I love You’ in every drop of light of the sun; ‘I love You’ in the flickering of the stars; ‘I love You’ in every drop of water. Your Will allows me to see Your ‘I love you’ for me even in the depths of the ocean, and I impress my ‘I love You’ for You, in every fish that darts in the sea. I want to impress my ‘I love You’ in the flight of every bird – ‘I love You’ everywhere, my Love. I want to impress my ‘I love You’ on the wings of the wind, in the moving of the leaves, in every spark of fire – ‘I love You’ for myself and for all...”

The whole Creation was with me saying "I love You", but when I wanted to embrace all human generations in the Eternal Volition, to make all prostrate before Jesus, so that all might fulfill their duty of saying "I love You, Jesus" in each one of their acts, words and thoughts, they escaped me, and I got lost and didn’t know how to do it. I said this to Jesus, and He: "Yet, My daughter, the living in My Will is exactly this: to bring the whole of Creation before Me, and in the name of all, give Me the return of their duties. No one must escape you, otherwise My Will would find voids in Creation, and would not be satisfied. But do you know why you do not find all, and many escape you? It is the power of free will. However, I want to teach you a secret — where to find them all: enter into My Humanity and you will find all of their acts as though held in custody; for these I took on the commitment to satisfy before My Celestial Father on their behalf. Go and follow all My Acts, which were the acts of all; in this way you will find everything, and you will give Me return of Love for everyone and for everything. Everything is in Me; since I did everything for all, in Me is the deposit of all; I render to the Divine Father the duty of love for all, and whoever wants it, can use it as way and means to ascend to Heaven."

I entered into Jesus, and I easily found everything and everyone. And following the works of Jesus, I said: “I love You in every thought of creature; I love You in the flight of every gaze; I love You in the sound of every word; I love You in every heartbeat, breath and affection; I love You in every drop of blood, in every work and step, ...”

But who can tell all that I did and said? Many things one is not able to say; even more, what one says, is said very badly, compared to the way it is said when one is together with Jesus... So, saying "I love You," I found myself inside myself.
