As I was in my usual state, I saw my adorable Jesus for just a little, who said to me: “Peace puts all passions in their place, but what triumphs over everything, establishes all the good in the soul and sanctifies everything, is to do everything for God - that is, to operate with the upright intention of pleasing God alone. An upright operating is what directs, dominates and rectifies the virtues themselves, and even obedience. In sum, it is like a conductor who directs the spiritual music of the soul.” Having said this, He disappeared like a flash.

I write only out of obedience, and I am going to make a mix of past and present things. Many times in my writings I say: “I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition,” and I don’t explain further. Now, forced by obedience, I will say what happens to me in this fusion in the Divine Volition.
As I fuse myself in It, an immense void, all of light, comes before my mind, in which one can find neither the extent of its height, nor of its depth, nor the boundaries on the right or on the left, nor those on the front or on the back. In the midst of this immensity, in a highest point, I seem to see the Divinity, or the Three Divine Persons waiting for me – but this, always mentally. And, I don’t know how, a little child comes out from me; although it is still I - maybe it’s my little soul. It is moving to see this little child putting herself on the path within this immense empty space - all alone, shy, walking on tiptoe, with her eyes always fixed to the place where she sees the Three Divine Persons, because she fears that if she lowers her gaze in that immense void, she wouldn’t know at what point she would end up. All her strength is in that gaze fixed on high. In fact, in receiving in return the gaze of the Supreme Height, she draws strength along the way. Now, as the little one arrives before Them, she plunges herself with her face into that empty space, to adore the Divine Majesty. But a hand from the Divine Persons raises the little child; and They say to her: “Our daughter, the Little Daughter of Our Will – come into Our arms.” In hearing this, she becomes festive, and makes the Three Divine Persons festive; and delighting in her, They await the performance of the office, which They entrusted to her. And with grace typical of a child, she says: “I come to adore You, to bless You, to thank You for all. I come to bind to your throne all human wills of all generations, from the first to the last man, so that all may recognize Your Supreme Will. May all adore It, love It, and give It Life within their souls.”
Then she added: “O Supreme Majesty, in this immense void there are all these creatures, and I want to take them all and place them in Your Holy Will, so that all may return to the origin from which they came – Your Will. This is why I came into Your Paternal Arms – to bring You all Your children and brothers of mine, and bind them all with Your Will. And in the name of all and for everyone, I want to repair You and give You homage and glory, as if everyone had done your Most Holy Will. But, please, I beg You, let there be no more separation between Divine and human will! It is a little child who is asking you this, and I know that You can deny nothing to the little ones.”
But who can say all that I did and said? I would be too long. Besides, I lack the words to express what I say before the Supreme Majesty. It seems to me that here in the low world we don’t use the same language as in that immense empty space. …
Divine Will for every day of the year - May 9, 1900 Volume 3
After I had gone through days not only of privation, but also of disturbance, this morning, as I was yet more disturbed about my miserable state, adorable Jesus, on coming, told me: “By being restless, you have disturbed my sweet rest. Ah, yes, you do not let Me rest any more!” Who can say how mortified I was left in hearing that I had deprived Jesus Christ of rest? In spite of this, I calmed down for a few hours, but then I found myself more restless than before, to the point that I myself do not where I will end up this time.
After those few words spoken by Jesus, I found myself outside of myself, and in looking into the vault of the heavens, I saw three Suns: one seemed to set in the east, another in the west, and the third in the south. The splendor of the rays that they sent forth was so great that they united with one another, in such a way as to become one. I seemed to see the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, and man, formed with the three powers in Its image. I also understood that for one who stayed in that light, his will would be transformed in the Father, his intellect in the Son, his memory in the Holy Spirit. How many things I understood! But I am unable to manifest them.

Continuing in my usual state, my lovable Jesus made Himself seen for just a little, and told me: “My daughter, one who talks much shows that he is empty in his interior, while one who is filled with God, finding more taste in his interior, does not want to lose that taste; he hardly speaks and only out of necessity. And even while speaking, he never departs from his interior, and he tries, as much as he can, to impress in others that which he feels within himself. On the other hand, one who talks much is not only empty of God, but with his much talking, he tries to empty others of God.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - May 7, 1999 Volume 2
While I was doing my meditation during the day, Jesus kept making Himself seen near me, and told me: “My Person is surrounded by all the works that souls do, as by a garment; and the more purity of intention and intensity of love they have, the more splendor they give Me, and I will give them more glory; so much so, that on the Day of Judgment I will show them to the whole world, to let the whole world know how my children have honored Me, and how I honor them.”
Assuming a more afflicted air, He added: “My daughter, what will happen to so many works, even good, done without purity of intention, out of habit and self-interest? What shame will not fall upon them on the Day of Judgment, in seeing so many works, good in themselves, but made rotten by their intention, such that, their very actions, instead of rendering honor to them, as they would to many others, will give them shame? In fact, I do not look at the greatness of the works, but at the intention with which they are done. Here is all my attention.”
Jesus kept silent for a little while, and I kept thinking about the words He had spoken to me while I was meditating within my mind, especially on the purity of intention, and on the fact that, when creatures do good, they must disappear, making the creature one with the Lord Himself, as if creatures did not exist.
Then Jesus continued, saying to me: “Yet, it is so. See, My Heart is so very large, but the door is very narrow. No one can fill the void of this Heart but souls who are detached, naked and simple. In fact, as you see, since the door is small, any hindrance, even the slightest – that is, a shadow of attachment, an intention which is not upright, a work done without the purpose of pleasing Me – prevents them from entering to delight in My Heart. Much love of neighbor enters My Heart, but it must be so united to Mine as to form one single love, in such a way that one cannot be distinguished from the other. But as for the other love of neighbor which is not transformed into My Love – I do not look at it as something that belongs to Me.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - May 6, 1926 Volume 19
I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition according to my usual way, and I prayed the Celestial Mama to be with me and to give me Her hand, so that, guided by Her, I might requite my God with all the love, the adoration and the glory that everyone owes Him. Now, while I was saying this, my beloved Jesus moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, you must know that the first before the Supreme Majesty are those who have lived in My Volition and who have never gone out of My Will. My Mama came to the world after four thousand years; yet, in the eyes if God She came before Adam. Her Acts, Her Love, are in the first order of creatures, therefore Her Acts come before all the acts of creatures, because She was the closest to God, bound to Him with the tightest bonds of Sanctity, of Union, and of Likeness. By living in Our Will, Her Acts became inseparable from Ours, and, being inseparable, these Acts are the closest, as something natural to Her Creator. ‘Before’ and ‘after’ do not exist in Our Will, but everything is First Act. Therefore, one who lives in Our Will, even if she came as last, comes always before everything. So, it is not the era in which souls come out to the light of time that will be considered, but whether the Life of My Will has been in them as Center of Life, Reigning and Dominating in all of their acts, just as It Reigns and Dominates in the womb of the Divinity. These will be the first; their acts done in Our Will will rise above all the acts of the other creatures, and all will remain behind; therefore these souls will be Our crown. …”

As I was in my usual state, my benign Jesus made Himself heard for just a little, telling me with His sweet word: “My daughter, mortifications, miseries, privations, sufferings, crosses, for those who make use of them, serve for nothing but to impress well My Sanctity in the soul, as if she kept embellishing herself with all the varieties of the Divine Colors. Even more, they are nothing other than many Fragrances of Heaven, with which the soul remains all perfumed.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - May 4, 1925 Volume 17
“… The mission of My Will was the purpose of the creation of man. My Divinity did not depart from Heaven, from Its throne; My Will, instead, not only departed, but descended into all created things and formed Its Life in them. However, while all things recognized Me, and I dwell in them with Majesty and Decorum, man alone drove Me away. But I want to conquer him and win him; and this is why My Mission is not finished. So I called you, entrusting to you My own Mission, that you may place the one who drove Me away on the lap of My Will, and everything may return to Me, in My Will.
“Therefore, do not be surprised at the great and marvelous things I may tell you for the sake of this mission, or at the many graces I may give you; because this is not about making a saint, but about saving the generations. This is about rescuing a Divine Will, for which everything must return to the beginning, to the origin from which everything came, so that the purpose of My Will may have its Complete Fulfillment.’”

Continuing in my usual state, I felt Our Lord near me for just a little, and He told me: “My daughter, with the soul who does My Will, My Will circulates in her whole being like blood. So, she is in continuous contact with Me, with My Power, Wisdom, Charity, Beauty – she takes part in all that is Mine. As she no longer lives of her own volition, her volition lives in Mine; and as Mine circulates in hers, hers circulates in all of My Being, and I feel her continuous contact. And as I feel touched by her continuously, you cannot comprehend how drawn I feel to love her, to favor her, to answer her in everything she asks - if I denied it, I would deny it to Myself. Besides, all things considered, since she lives in My Will, she asks for nothing but what I Myself want. This is what she wants, and this alone makes her happy, for herself and for others, because her life is more in Heaven than on earth. This is the fruit that My Will produces – to beatify her in advance.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - May 2, 1899 Volume 2
This morning, Jesus aroused much compassion; He was so afflicted and in suffering that I would not dare to ask Him any question. We would look at each other in silence; every now and then He would give me a kiss, and I would kiss Him; and He continued to make Himself seen in this way several times. On the last time He made me see the Church, telling me these exact words: “All Heaven is veiled in My Church. Just as in Heaven one is the head, which is God, and many are the saints, of different conditions, orders and merits, so in My Church, in which all Heaven is veiled, one is the head, which is the Pope, and the Sacrosanct Trinity is veiled even in the triple tiara that covers his head; and many are the members that depend on this head – that is, different dignities, various orders, superior and inferior, from the littlest to the greatest, they all serve to embellish My Church. Each one, according to its degree, has the office entrusted to it, and by the exact fulfillment of the virtues it comes to give from itself a splendor so very fragrant to My Church, that the earth and Heaven are perfumed and illuminated, and the people are so drawn by this light and by this fragrance, that it is almost impossible for them not to surrender to the truth. I leave it to you, then, to consider those infected members which, instead of shedding light, cast darkness. How much torment they cause in My Church.”
While Jesus was saying this, I saw the confessor near Him. Jesus stared at him with His penetrating gaze; then He turned to me and told me: “I want you to have full confidence in the confessor, even in the smallest things; so much so, that there must be no difference for you between Me and him, and according to your confidence and faith in his words, so I will concur.” In the very act in which Jesus was saying these words, I remembered about certain temptations of the devil which had produced a little bit of distrust in me. But Jesus, with His vigilant eye, immediately corrected me, and at that very moment I felt that distrust being removed from within my interior. May the Lord be always blessed, who has so much care for this soul, so miserable and sinful.
Divine Will for every day of the year - May 1, 1900 Volume 3
After I received Communion, my sweet Jesus made Himself seen all affability; and as it seemed that the confessor was placing the intention of the crucifixion, my nature felt almost a repugnance to submit itself. My sweet Jesus, to cheer me, told me: “My daughter, if the Eucharist is the deposit of the future glory, the Cross is the disbursement with which to purchase it. If the Eucharist is the seed which prevents corruption – like those aromatic herbs that prevent decomposition when applied to cadavers – and gives immortality to soul and body, the Cross embellishes and is so powerful that if debts have been contracted, it becomes their guarantor, and it more surely obtains the restitution of the debt’s deed. And after it has satisfied every debt, it forms for the soul the most refulgent throne in the future glory. Ah, yes, the Cross and the Eucharist alternate, and one operates more powerfully than the other.”
Then He added: “The Cross is My flowery bed, not because I did not suffer harrowing spasms, but because by means of the Cross I delivered many souls to grace, and I could see many beautiful flowers bloom, which would produce many Celestial Fruits. So, in seeing so much good, I held that bed of suffering as My Delight, and I delighted in the Cross and in suffering. You too, My daughter - take pains as delights, and delight in being crucified on My Cross. No, no, I do not want you to fear suffering, almost wanting to act as a sluggard. Up, courage! Be brave and, on your own, expose yourself to suffering.”
As He was saying this, I saw my good guardian Angel ready to crucify me; I stretched out my arms on my own, and the Angel crucified me. Oh, how good Jesus delighted in my suffering! And how content I was, that such a miserable soul could give pleasure to Jesus! It seemed a great honor for me to suffer for love of Him.
Divine Will for every day of the year - April 30, 1928 Volume 24
I was thinking about the Divine Will and—oh! how many thoughts crowded my mind. Having transported me outside of myself, my always lovable Jesus had shown me the many chastisements with which He wants to strike the human generations; and I, shaken, thought to myself: “How can the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat come if the earth abounds with evil, and Divine Justice is arming all the elements to destroy man and what serves man? And besides, this Kingdom did not come when Jesus came upon earth with His visible presence—how can It come now? As things are now, it seems difficult to me.”
And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, everything you saw will serve to purify and prepare the human family. The turmoils will serve to reorder, and the destructions to build more beautiful things. If a collapsing building is not torn down, a new and more beautiful one cannot be formed upon those very ruins. I will stir everything for the fulfillment of my Divine Will.
“And besides, when I came upon earth, it was not decreed by Our Divinity that the Kingdom of My Will should come, but that of Redemption; and in spite of human ingratitude, It was accomplished. However, It has not yet covered all of Its way; many regions and peoples live as if I had not come, therefore it is necessary that It make Its way and walk everywhere, because Redemption is the preparatory way for the Kingdom of My Will. It is the army that goes forward in order to form the peoples to receive the regime, the life, the king of My Divine Will. And so, what was not decreed for that time We decree today, for the fulfillment of the Kingdom of Our Fiat.
“And when We decree, all is done; in Us, it is enough to decree in order to accomplish what We want. This is why what seems difficult to you will all be made easy by Our Power. It will act like those mighty winds after long days of thick and rainy clouds: the power of the wind dispels the clouds, takes rain away, and makes the good weather return and the sun embrace the earth. In the same way, more than ruling wind, Our Power will put to flight the darkness of the human will, and will make the Sun of My Eternal Will reappear to embrace the creatures. And everything I manifest to you—the truths that pertain to It, are nothing other than the confirmation of what We have decreed.
“Furthermore, if the Kingdom of My Divine Fiat and the time of Its nearing fulfillment had not been decreed before by the Divinity, there would have been no reason, nor necessity, nor purpose for choosing you, for keeping you sacrificed for so many years, and for entrusting to you, as to Its little daughter, the knowledges of It, Its admirable Truths and Its secret and hidden Sorrows. And not only this, but the Divinity has acted with you in a way that is all paternal and maternal, in order to sow in you the seed of Divine daughtership, and so that you would take Its interests to heart, more than if they were your own.
“This signifies the reality of what had been decreed by Us, to the point of choosing the subject, of using the means and of giving the teachings in order to descend down below to the human family, and establish in their midst what had been decreed in Heaven. If the Kingdom of My Will had not been decreed, I would not have told you so much about It, nor would I have chosen you in a way all special for this purpose. My Word would have been without life and without fruit if it were not so, and without the generative and fecundating virtue—which cannot be. My Word possesses the virtue of generating and of forming, through Its fecundity, Its offspring of endless lives.
“This happened in Redemption, because It had been decreed by Us in Heaven. A Virgin was created who was to be the Mother of the Eternal Word. If this had not been decreed, there would have been no reason, nor necessity to create and choose this Virgin, wholly unique and special; nor to give so many manifestations to the Prophets, who depicted the Life of the Word in His Humanity, describing His pains so vividly—as if they had Him present with them.
“Therefore, when Our Divine benignity deigns to choose and to manifest Itself, it is the sure sign and the beginning of the carrying out of Its works, which It holds as decreed. Therefore, be attentive, and let your Jesus do everything, because neither power nor means are lacking for what I want, and for carrying out what I have decreed.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - April 29, 1928 Volume 24
… After this, I was continuing my round in the Divine Volition, and repeating the refrain of the “I love You,” I was saying: “Jesus, my Love, I want to leave all of my being in Your Fiat, so that I may find myself in all created things, to pearl them with my ‘I love You.’ Even more, I want to place my heart in the center of the earth, and as I palpitate, I want to embrace all of its inhabitants; and following all of their heartbeats with my ‘I love You,’ I want to give You the love of each one of them. And as my heartbeat is repeated from within the center of the earth, I want to place my ‘I love You’ in all the seeds that the earth encloses in its womb; and as the seeds sprout and plants, herbs and flowers are formed, I want to place in them my ‘I love You,’ that I may see them enclosed in my ‘I love You’ for Jesus.”
But as I was saying this, my thought interrupted my refrain of the “I love You,” telling me: “How much nonsense you are speaking. Jesus Himself must be tired of hearing your long singsong, ‘I love You, I love You…’”
And Jesus, moving so very hurriedly in my interior, and looking at all Creation to see whether in all things, small and big, there was the life of my “I love You,” told me: “My daughter, what marvel, what enchantment, to see all things pearled with your ‘I love You.’ If all creatures could see all the plants, the atoms of the earth, the stones, the drops of water, pearled with your ‘I love You,’ and the light of the sun, the air that they breathe, the sky that they see, filled with your ‘I love You,’ and the stars, shining with your ‘I love You’—what marvel would not arise in them; what sweet enchantment would not draw the pupils of their eyes to look at your refrain and the long singsong of your ‘I love You’?
“They would say: ‘How is it possible that she let nothing escape her? We ourselves feel pearled with her “I love You!’ And they would wander around checking and investigating everything, to see whether, in fact, nothing had escaped you, so as to enjoy the enchantment of your ‘I love You.’
“Now, if this marvelous enchantment remains unobserved by the terrestrial creatures, it does not remain unobserved in Heaven, and the inhabitants up there enjoy the enchantment and the marvels of seeing the whole Creation filled and pearled with your ‘I love You.’ They feel their ‘I love You’ harmonize with yours; they do not feel separated from the earth because love unites them together and forms the same notes and the same harmonies.
“And then, you must know that when all things, small and big, were created, I never tired of pearling them with My repeated and incessant ‘I love you’s’ for you; and just as I did not tire of placing them, so I do not tire of hearing them being repeated by you. On the contrary, I enjoy that My ‘I love you’ does not remain isolated, but has the company of yours; and as yours echoes in Mine, they fuse together and live common life. And besides, love is never tired; rather, it is bearer of joy and happiness for Me.” …
Divine Will for every day of the year - April 28, 1926 Volume 19
I was thinking to myself: “When my sweet Jesus speaks of His Will, He often unites with It the Sovereign Queen of Heaven or the Creation. He seems to delight so much in speaking of both one and the other that He keeps looking for opportunities, pretexts and devices in order to manifest what His Most Holy Will does, both in the Celestial Mama and in the Creation.”
Now, while I was thinking of this, my lovable Jesus moved in my interior, and, all tenderness, squeezed me to Himself and told me: “My daughter, if I do so, I have strong reasons. You must know that only in the Creation and in My Celestial Mama has My Will remained ever intact, and has kept Its field of action free. Therefore, having to call you to live in My Will as one of them, I had to propose them to you as examples - as an image for you to imitate. So, in order to be able to do great things, in such a way that all may perceive that good, unless they did not want to, the first thing is that My Will must act wholly in the soul.
“Look at Creation – how My Will is whole in it. And because It is whole, Creation remains always in its place and contains the Fullness of that Good with which it was created. This is why it remains always new, noble, pure, fresh, and can share the good it possesses with all. But the beautiful thing is that while it gives itself to all, it loses nothing, and remains always the same, just as it was created by God. What has the sun lost by giving so much light and heat to the earth? Nothing. What have the azure heavens lost by remaining extended in the atmosphere, or the earth by producing so many and so various plants? Nothing. And so with all the things created by Me. Oh! in what an admirable way does Creation sing that saying about Me: ‘He is ever old and ever new.’ So, My Will in Creation is Center of Life, is Fullness of Good, is Order and Harmony; It keeps all things in the place wanted by It. Where can you find a more beautiful example, a more perfect image of the living in My Will, if not in Creation? This is why I call you to live in the midst of created things as their sister, that you may learn to live in the Supreme Volition, and you too may remain in the place wanted by Me, to be able to enclose within yourself the Fullness of Good that My Will wants to enclose in you, so that whoever wants it, may take of that Good. And since you are endowed with reason, you must surpass them all, and requite your Creator in love and glory for each created thing, as if they were all endowed with reason. So, you will be the substitutor for all Creation, and Creation will be a mirror for you in which you can reflect yourself in order to copy the living in My Will, so that you may not move from your place. It will be your guide and teacher, giving you the highest and most perfect lessons in the living in My Will.
“But the one who surpasses all is My Celestial Mama. She is the new heaven, the most refulgent sun, the brightest moon, the most flowery earth; She encloses everything – everything within Herself. If each created thing encloses the fullness of its own good received by God, My Mama encloses all Goods together, because, since She is endowed with reason and My Will lived wholly in Her, the Fullness of Grace, of Light, of Sanctity, grew in every instant. Every act She did was suns and stars that My Will formed in Her. So, She surpassed the whole Creation; and My Will, whole and permanent in Her, did the greatest thing and impetrated the longed for Redeemer. This is why My Mama is Queen in the midst of Creation - because She surpassed everything, and My Will found in Her the nourishment of Her reason, which made It live as whole and permanent in Her. There was highest accord, they held each other’s hand, there was not one fiber of Her Heart, or word or thought, over which My Will did not possess Its Life. And what can a Divine Will not do? It can do everything. There is no power It lacks, or thing It cannot do. Therefore it can be said that My Mama did everything; and everything that all others together could not do, nor will be able to do, She did by Herself. …”
Divine Will for every day of the year - An undated Passage from Volume 1
There are no entries in Luisa's diary for April 27th.
… One morning in particular, after Communion, He [Jesus] gave me a light so clear about the great love He had for me, and about the fickleness and inconstancy of creatures, that my heart was so convinced as to be incapable, from that time on, of loving anyone. He taught me the way how to love people without detaching myself from Him – that is, by looking at creatures as images of God, in such a way that, if I received good from creatures, I was to think that God alone was the Prime Author of that good and that He had used the creature in order to send it to me; so my heart would be bound more to God. If then I received mortifications, I was to look at them also as instruments in the hands of God for my sanctification; so my heart would not remain huffy with my neighbor. In this way, it happened that I would look at all creatures in God. Whatever fault I might see in them, I would never lose esteem for them. If they mocked me, I felt obliged, thinking that they were allowing me to make more gains for my soul; if they praised me, I received these praises with contempt, saying: ‘Today this, tomorrow they may hate me’, considering their inconstancy. In sum, my heart acquired such freedom, that I myself cannot explain it.
When the Divine Master freed me from the external world, then He put His hand into purifying my interior, and through an interior voice He told me: “Now we are alone – there is no one left who may disturb us. Aren’t you happier now than before, when you had to content many upon many? You see, it is easier to content one alone. You must consider as if you and I were alone in the world; promise Me to be faithful, and I will pour such and so many graces into you, that you yourself will be amazed.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - April 26, 1928 Volume 24
I was doing my round in the Divine Fiat, and according to my usual way, I was investing all of Creation with my refrain: “I love You, I adore You, I bless You….”
And while doing this, I thought to myself: “What do I give to my God with this long story of ‘I love You’s’?”
And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, a pure, holy and upright love is a Divine birth. It comes out of God and has the virtue of rising and entering into God, to multiply these births from Him, and to bring God Himself to each creature who yearns to love Him. Therefore, when the soul is invested by this love and receives this birth, she can form many other births for as many times as she says her ‘I love You’; in such a way that her ‘I love You’ flies before God; and the Supreme Being looks inside the ‘I love You’ that the creature sends to Him, and in that little ‘I love You’ He finds all of Himself, and feels He is being given all of Himself by her.
“That little ‘I love You’ contains a prodigious secret; in its littleness it encloses the Infinite, the Immense, the Power; so much so, that it can say: ‘I give God to God.’ And in that little ‘I love You’ of the creature, the Infinite Being feels all of His Divine Qualities being touched, because, since it is a birth from Him, He finds all of Himself in it. This is what you give Me with your many ‘I love You’s’: you give Me Myself as many times. There is nothing more beautiful, greater and more pleasing to Me that you could give Me, than to give Me all of Myself.
“My Fiat, that forms in you the life of your ‘I love You’ for Me, delights in forming many births from Us, and so It keeps the pace of the ‘I love You’ in you, yearning to always mint the Divine Coin of your ‘I love You’ for each created thing. And then It looks to see whether all the things created by Us are pearled with the prodigious secret of your ‘I love You.’
“My daughter, We do not look at whether what the creature does is great or small; We look, rather, at whether there is the prodigy of Our Secret, and her littlest acts, thoughts and sighs are invested by the power of Our Will. All is in this, and it is all for Us.” …
Divine Will for every day of the year - April 25, 1923 Volume 15
I was praying, and my sweet Jesus came, placing Himself near me in order to pray together with me; even more, His intelligence was reflected in mine, and I prayed with His; His voice echoed in mine, and I prayed with His word. But who can say the boundless effects of this prayer? Then, afterwards, my beloved Jesus told me: “My daughter, I wanted to pray together with you in order to strengthen you in My Will, and to give you the grace of letting you be present before the Supreme Majesty in the act of the creation of man. As We endowed him with all goods, and his will was Ours, and Ours was his, everything was Harmony between him and Us; whatever he wanted he would take from Us: Sanctity, Wisdom, Power, Happiness, etc. He was Our prototype, Our portrait, Our happy son. So, at the beginning of his existence, Adam had a period in which he perfectly fulfilled the Purpose for which he was created; he experienced what it means to live of the Will of his Creator, and We also were happy in seeing Our acts being reproduced in Our image. Then, as he broke his will from Ours, he remained separated from Us; but the first acts of man are still in Our Will, and I want nothing else from you but to come into Our Will to continue on from where Adam left, so that you may bind within yourself all the Harmonies that he broke. And just as this first creature, because he was created by Us as the head of the whole human family, by withdrawing from Our Will brought unhappiness to all, in the same way, as you come to continue on from where he left, We constitute you the head of all, and therefore the bearer of that Happiness and Goods which had been assigned to all had they lived in Our Will.”
And I: “My Jesus, how can this be possible? If not even when You Yourself came upon earth to redeem us and to suffer so many pains, was the Happiness acquired which the first man lost for himself and for all, how can it be now, that by binding myself within Your Eternal Volition, I may give back this lost happiness?" And Jesus: “My daughter, all times are in My Hands, I give to whomever I want, and I use whomever I want. I could very well bring the Happiness that My Will contains upon earth, but I found no human will that wanted to live perennial life in Mine, so as to retie the bonds of Creation, give Me back all the acts of the first man as if he had done them all with the seal of my Supreme Will, and therefore place the lost happiness in the field. It is true that I had My dear Mama, but She had to cooperate with Me for Redemption. Besides, man was a slave, imprisoned by his very sins, infirm, covered with wounds - the most repugnant ones; and I came as a loving father to shed My Blood in order to rescue him, as a Doctor to heal him, as a Teacher to teach him the way – the escape so as not to fall into hell. Poor ill one, how could he have extended himself in the eternal flights of My Volition if he was unable to walk? Had I wanted to give the happiness which My Will contains, it would have been as though giving it to the dead and letting it be trampled upon. He was not disposed to receive such a great good, and this is why I wanted to teach the prayer to dispose him, and I contented Myself with waiting for different eras, letting centuries upon centuries go by, to make known the living in My Will – to give the start to this Happiness.”
And I: “My Love, if with Your Redemption not all are saved, how can it be that Your Will will give this happiness to all?" And Jesus: “Man will always be free, I will never take away from him the rights which I gave him in creating him; only, in Redemption I came to open many ways, small paths and shortcuts to facilitate salvation, the sanctity of man, while with My Will I come to open the Royal and Straight Way which leads to the Sanctity of the likeness of their Creator, and which contains True Happiness. But in spite of this, they will always be free to remain – some on the Royal Way, some on the small paths, and some completely outside; however, in the world there will be what now is not – the Happiness of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven. Man did his first acts in My Will and then he withdrew, therefore he was ruined; and since he was the head of all, all members were ruined together. My Humanity formed the plane of all human acts in the Divine Will; My Mama followed Me faithfully; so, everything is prepared. Nothing else is now needed but another creature who, wanting to live perennially in this Will, may come to take possession of the plane formed by Me, and may open the Royal Way to all, which leads to terrestrial and Celestial Happiness.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - April 24, 1915 Volume 11
Finding myself in my usual state, I was thinking of how much blessed Jesus suffered in being crowned with thorns. Making Himself seen, Jesus told me: “My daughter, the pains which I suffered were incomprehensible to the created mind. Much more painfully than by those thorns, My Mind was pierced by all the evil thoughts of creatures, in such a way that none of these thoughts could escape Me - I felt them all inside Me. Not only did I feel the pricks of the thorns, but also the disgust of the sins which those thorns represented.”
So, I looked at my adorable Jesus and I could see His Most Holy Head being surrounded by spokes of thorns which came through from behind. All the thoughts of the creatures were in Jesus; they went from Jesus to them, and from them into Jesus, remaining almost linked together — the evil thoughts of the creatures with the Most Holy Thoughts of Jesus... Oh, how Jesus suffered!
Then He added: “My daughter, only the souls who live in My Will can give Me true reparations and soothe Me from thorns so sharp. In fact, since they live in My Will, and since My Will is everywhere, they find themselves in Me and in everyone; they descend into the creatures and rise up to Me; they bring Me all the reparations; they soothe Me. And in the sick minds they turn darkness into light.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - April 23, 1899 Volume 2
Today I did my meditation on the harm that can come to our souls from the praises that other creatures give us. While I was doing the application to myself, to see whether there was complacency for human praises within me, Jesus came close to me and told me: “When a heart is full of the knowledge of self, the praises of men are like sea waves that rise and overflow, but never go out of their boundary. In the same way, human praises yell and shout, they clamor, they get close even to the heart, but in finding it full and well surrounded by the strong walls of the knowledge of self, unable to find a place for themselves, they draw back, causing no damage to the soul. So, this is what you must be careful about: taking the praises and scorns of creatures into no account.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 22, 1927 Volume 21
… Then, I followed the Supreme Will in the act in which the Divine Being was about to create man, so that I too, together with my first father Adam, might love Him with the same love with which he loved Him in the first instant of his creation. I wanted to receive that same Divine Breath, that outpouring of Love, in order to give it back to my Creator.
But while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus, all delighted, told me: “My daughter, for one who lives in My Will there is not one Act of Ours at which she cannot be present, nor any Act that We issued from Ourselves that she cannot receive. Here is My breath to you, and the outpouring of Our Love. How great was Our Delight in this first Act of the creation of man. We had created Heaven and earth, but We felt nothing new within Ourselves; but in creating man it was very different: it was a will that was being created, and this will was free, and in it We enclosed Our Will, as though putting It in a bank in order to collect the interest of Our Love, of the glory and of the adoration that befitted Us.
“Oh! how Love overflowed within Us; how it trembled with Joy in pouring into this free will—to hear it say: ‘I love You.’ And when man, filled with Our own, released from his breast the first word—‘I love You’—immense was Our Delight, because it was as if he were giving Us the interest for all the goods We had placed in him. This free will, created by Us, was the depository of the capital of a Divine Will, and We would content Ourselves with a small interest, without ever demanding the capital back. Therefore, great was the sorrow for the fall of man, because he rejected Our capital, so as not to give Us Our small interest. His bank remained empty, and his enemy, banding with him, filled him with passions and miseries. Poor one—he went broke.
“Now, My daughter, since the act of the creation of man was a solemn Act, and of great Delight for Us, We call you and want you in this act, in order to repeat the Solemnity of it, placing in your will the great capital of Ours. And as we do this, Our Love overflows and trembles with Joy, with great Delight, because We see Our Purpose realized. Surely You will not deny the small interest to Us; you will not reject Our capital, will you? Even more, every day we will do the accounts; I will call you to be present at that first Act when We created this free will—you, to give Me the interest, and I, to see if I can add some more of My capital.”
My mind was wandering in the Divine Fiat, and I thought to myself: “Oh! how I would like to receive that first act of Creation—that Divine outpouring of Intense Love, that He poured upon the first creature when He created him. I would like to receive that Omnipotent Breath, to be able to return to my Creator all the love and the glory that He had established to receive from the creature.”
But while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus, clasping me to Himself, told me: “My daughter, this is precisely My Purpose for coming to you so often; so much so, that it may appear strange to some, and almost outside of My usual ways, since almost with no one have I done this, of going so often. All this is to reorder My Prime Act of the way I created the creature; and this is why I return to you, staying like the most loving father with his daughter.
“How many times have I not breathed into you, to the point that you could not contain My Omnipotent Breath? I have poured in you My contained Love, to the point of filling you up to the brim of your soul. All this was nothing other than the renewal of the Solemn Act of Creation. I wanted to feel that great delight of when I created man, and therefore I come to you—not only to renew it, but to reorder the Order, the Harmony, the Love, between Creator and creature, in the way he was created.
“In the beginning of the creation of man there was no distance between Me and him—everything was familiarity. As soon as he would call Me, I would be with him; I loved him as My son and, as My son, I felt so drawn to him that I could not do without going and being with him very often. With you I am renewing the beginning of Creation; therefore, be attentive in receiving such a Great Good.”
