Divine Will for every day of the year - June 14, 1929 Volume 26

I was continuing my round in the Supreme Fiat, and my little mind, arriving at Eden, was saying:  “Adorable Majesty, I come before You to bring You my little interest of my ‘I love You,’I adore You,’I glorify You,’I thank You,’I bless You,’ to give You my little interest because You have given me a heaven, a sun, an air, a sea, a flowery earth, and everything that You have created for me.  You once told me that each day you want to do the accounts with me and receive this small interest of mine, so that we may always be in agreement; and keep the whole Creation, given to me by You as little daughter of Your Will, safe inside the little bank of my soul.”  

But while I was doing this, a thought told me:  “But, how can you satisfy an interest so great?  And besides, how great at all is your ‘I love You,’I adore You,’I thank You?’

But while I was thinking this, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior and told me:  “My daughter, this was an agreement between Me and you—that I would put the whole Creation in the bank of your soul, and you would have to give Me the interest, filling It with your ‘I love You,’I adore You,’I thank You.’  And since I saw you hampered because of a capital so great, and fearing that you might want to reject this Great Gift from Me, in order to encourage you to receive it, I said to you:  ‘I am content with a small interest, and we will do the accounts every day here in Eden.  In this way we will remain in agreement and always in peace, and you will not be worried that your Jesus has placed in your bank a capital so great.’  

“And then, don’t you know the value of an ‘I love You’ in My Divine Will?  My Will fills the heavens, the sun, the sea, the wind—Its life extends everywhere; therefore, as you say your ‘I love You,’I adore You’ and everything else you might say, My Fiat extends your ‘I love You’ in the heavens, and your ‘I love You’ becomes more extensive than the heavens; your ‘I adore You’ extends in the sun, and it becomes larger and longer than its light.  Your ‘I glorify You’ extends in the wind, and it wanders through the air, throughout the whole earth, and its moans, the blows of the wind, now caressing, now mighty, say:  ‘I glorify You.’  Your ‘I thank You’ extends within the sea, and the drops of water and the darting of the fish say:  ‘I thank You.’  And I see the heavens, the stars, the sun, the sea, the wind, filled with your ‘I love You,’ with your adorations, and the like; and I say:  ‘How content I am that I placed everything in the bank of the little daughter of My Will—because she pays Me the interest wanted by Me.  

“And since she lives in It, she gives Me a Divine and equivalent interest, because My Fiat extends her little acts and renders them more extensive than the whole Creation.’  And when I see you coming into Eden to give Me your small interest, I look at you and I see in you My Divine Will doubled—one in you, and the other in Me, while It is one; and I see Myself being paid the interest by My Will Itself—and I remain satisfied, and, oh! how content I am in seeing that My Fiat has given to the creature the virtue of making Itself be doubled, so as to let her satisfy her Creator.  

“My daughter, how many unforgettable things there are in this Eden.  Here Our Fiat created man, and made such Display of Love, that It poured Itself in torrents upon him; so much so, that We still feel the sweet murmuring with which We poured Ourselves over him.  Here began the Life of Our Fiat in the creature, and the sweet and dear memory of the acts of the first man done in It.  These acts exist still now in Our Volition, and are as though pledges for him to be reborn in order to have the Kingdom of Our Fiat again.  

“In this Eden there is the sorrowful memory of the fall of man, the exit he made from Our Kingdom.  We still hear his steps when he went out of Our Divine Fiat; and since this Eden had been given to him so that he would live in It, We were forced to put him out, and We had the sorrow of seeing the work dearest to Us without his Kingdom, wandering and sorrowful.  Our only relief were the pledges of his acts, that had remained in Our Will; these called for the rights of humanity to enter again the place from which it had gone out.  

“This is why I await you in Eden to receive your small interest, to renew what We did in the Creation, and to receive the return for a Love so Great, not understood by creatures, and to find a loving pretext to give the Kingdom of Our Divine Will.  Therefore, I want this Eden to be dear to you as well, that you may pray Us and press Us that the beginning of Creation, the life of Our Fiat, may return into the midst of the human family.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 13, 1906 Volume 7

I go on amid continuous privations. At the most, He makes Himself seen in passing, or resting and sleeping in my interior, without saying a word to me; and if I go about lamenting, He either comes up saying to me: “You are wrong to lament – is it Me that you want? Well then, you have Me in the depth of your interior – what more do you want?”; or: “If you have Me completely within you, why do you afflict yourself? Is it because I do not speak to you? By just seeing Me, we understand each other”; or He comes up with a kiss, with a hug, with a caress, and if He sees that I do not calm down, He reproaches me severely, saying: “I am only displeased with your displeasure, and if you do not calm yourself, I will really give you displeasure by hiding completely.”

Who can say the bitterness of my soul? I feel dazed, and I am unable to manifest what I feel. Besides, in certain interior states it is better to keep silent and move on. 

Then, this morning, as I saw Him, I felt myself being carried outside of myself - I cannot tell well whether it was paradise. There were many Saints, all ignited with love, and the wonder was that all loved, but the love of one was distinct from the love of the other. However, finding myself with them, I tried to distinguish myself and to surpass them all in love, wanting to be the first among all in loving Him, since my heart, too proud, could not bear that others would equal me, because I seemed to see that one who loves more is closer to Jesus, and is loved more by Him. Oh, the soul would give in all excesses, she would not care about either life or death, nor would she think of whether it is convenient for her or not. In sum, she would even do excesses to obtain this intent – to be closer to Him, and to be loved a little bit more by her highest and only Good. But to my greatest sorrow, after a short time, an irresistible force drove me back into myself. 

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 12, 1899 Volume 2

This morning, having to receive Communion, I was praying good Jesus to come to prepare me Himself, before the confessor would come to celebrate Holy Mass. “Otherwise, how can I receive You, being so bad and not disposed?” While I was doing this, my Jesus was pleased to come, and in the very act of seeing Him, it seemed to me that He did nothing but dart through me with His Gazes, most Pure, and sparkling with Light. Who can say what those penetrating Gazes operated in me, letting not even the shadow of a little speck escape? It is impossible to say it; rather, I would have wanted to let all this pass in silence, because the internal operations of grace can hardly be expressed as they are with one’s mouth; rather, it seems that one would counterfeit them. But Lady Obedience does not want it, and when it is for her, one must close one’s eyes and surrender without saying anything else, otherwise – woes everywhere! In fact, since she is a lady, by herself she makes herself be respected.

Therefore I continue. In the first gaze, I prayed Jesus to purify me, and so it seemed to me that everything that shadowed my soul was shaken off of it. In the second gaze, I prayed Him to illuminate me, because, what good comes to a precious stone from being pure, if it is not sparkling so as to capture to gaze of those who look at it? They will look at it, yes, but with an indifferent eye. Much more was I in need of that light, which would not only render my soul resplendent, but would make me understand the great action I was about to do, since I was not only to be looked at, but identified with my sweet Jesus. Therefore, it was not enough for me to be purged, but also illuminated. So, in that Gaze Jesus seemed to penetrate through me, just as the light of the Sun penetrates through crystal. After this, seeing that Jesus continued to look at me, I said to Him: “Most Loving Jesus, since You were pleased first to purge me, and then to illuminate me, be so kind now as to sanctify me; more so, since I have to receive You, who are the Holy of Holies, and therefore it is not right that I be so different from You.”

So, always benign toward this miserable one, Jesus leaned toward me, took my soul in His arms, and seemed to retouch it all over with His own Hands. Who can say what those touches of those Creative Hands operated in me? How my passions, at those touches, put themselves in their place! My desires, inclinations, affections, heartbeats and my other senses, sanctified by those divine touches, changed into something wholly other, and, united among themselves, no longer clashing as before, formed a sweet harmony for the hearing of my dear Jesus. It seemed to me that they were like many rays of light, which wounded His Adorable Heart. Oh, how Jesus amused Himself, and what happy moments those have been for me! Ah, I experienced the peace of the saints! It was a Paradise of Contentments and of Delights for me.

After this, Jesus seemed to clothe my soul with the garment of Faith, of Hope and of Charity, and in the very act of clothing me, Jesus whispered to me the way I was to exercise myself in these three virtues. Now, while I was doing this, unleashing another ray of Light, Jesus made me understand my nothingness. Ah! I seemed to be a grain of sand in the midst of a most extensive sea, which is God; and this little grain went to dissolve itself inside that immense sea – it dissolved in God. Then He transported me outside of myself, carrying me in His Arms, and kept whispering to me various acts of contrition for my sins. I only remember that I have been an abyss of iniquities. Lord, oh, how many awful ingratitudes I have had toward You!

While I was doing this, I looked at Jesus; He had the crown of thorns on His head. I stretched out my hand, and I removed it from Him, saying: “Give the thorns to me, O Jesus, for I am a sinner. The thorns befit me, not You, who are the Just One, the Holy One.” So, Jesus Himself drove it onto my head. 

Then, I don’t know how, I saw the confessor from afar. Immediately I prayed to Jesus that He would go to prepare the confessor to able to receive Him at Communion. And Jesus seemed to go to Father. After a little while He came back and told me; “I want the way you deal with Me and with the Confessor to be one; and I want the same from him. He must look at you and deal with you as if you were another Me, because, since you are victim as I was, I want no difference at all; and this, so that everything may be purged, and My Love alone may shine in everything.”

I said to Him: “Lord, this seems impossible – that I may deal with the Confessor as one does with You, especially in seeing the instability.” And Jesus: “Yet, it is so; true virtue, true love, makes everything disappear, destroys everything, and with enchanting mastery makes God alone shine through all of its operations, and it looks at everything in God.”

After this, the Confessor came to call me to obedience and then celebrate Holy Mass; and so it ended. Then I listened to Holy Mass and I received Communion. Now, who can say the intimacy that passed between Jesus and me? It is impossible to manifest it; I have no words to make myself understood, therefore I let it pass in silence.

My sweet Jesus continues to make Himself seen only very few times, and almost always in silence. I felt my mind all confused and full of fear that I might lose my sole and only Good, and about many other things, which it is not necessary to say here. Oh, God, what pain! While I was in this state, He made Himself seen for just a little; He seemed to carry a light, and from that light many other little globes of light were coming out. Jesus told me: “Remove every fear from your heart. See, I have brought you this globe of light to place it between you and Me, and among those who approach you. For those who approach you with an upright heart and to do good to you, these little globes of light that come out, will penetrate into their minds, will descend into their hearts, will fill them with Joy and with Celestial Graces, and they will comprehend with clarity that which I operate in you. Those, then, who will come with other intentions, will experience the opposite, and will be dazzled and confused by these little globes of light.” So I remained more tranquil. May everything be for the glory of God.

Continuing in my usual state, my adorable Jesus came for just a little, all sad and sorrowful, and He told me:  “Ah, My daughter, if man knew himself, oh! how careful he would be not to become stained.  In fact, his beauty, his nobility, his strikingness are such and so great that he encompasses all the beauties and varieties of created things within himself.  And this, because all other things of nature had been created to serve man, and man was to be superior to all of them; so, in order to be superior, he had to encompass all the qualities of the other created things within himself.  Not only this, but since the other things had been created for man, and man for God alone and for His Delight, as a consequence he was not only to encompass all creation within himself, but he was to surpass it to the point of receiving the image of the Supreme Majesty within himself.  But in spite of all this, heedless of all these goods, man does nothing but dirty himself with the ugliest filth.”  And He disappeared.

I understood that it happens to us as to a poor woman, who received a garment woven with gold and enriched with gems and precious pearls.  But since she knows little about these things and does not know their value, she keeps the garment exposed to dust; she easily lets it get dirty with mud, and she holds it as she would a rough and inexpensive dress; so much so, that if it is taken away from her, she suffers little or no displeasure.  Such is our blindness with regard to ourselves.

… After this He came back again, but all afflicted; and He told me: “I feel sad when they think that I am severe, and that I make more use of Justice than of Mercy. They are with Me as if I were to strike them in each thing. Oh, how dishonored I feel by these ones! In fact, this leads them to remain at due distance from Me, and one who is distant cannot receive all the fusion of My Love. And while they are the ones who do not love Me, they think that I am severe and almost a Being that strikes fear; while by just taking a look at My Life they can only notice that I did only one act of Justice – when, in order to defend the house of My Father, I took the ropes and snapped them to the right and to the left, to drive out the profanators. All the rest was only Mercy: Mercy My Conception, My Birth, My Words, My Works, My Steps, the Blood I shed, My Pains - everything in Me was Merciful Love. Yet, they fear Me, while they should fear themselves more than Me.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 8, 1927 Volume 22

I was following the Divine Will in Its acts, in everything It had done in the order of the whole Creation, from the beginning of the world up to the present.  But while I was doing this, I thought to myself:  “What is past is not in my power, therefore it seems a waste of time to me to go on tracing what has passed.”  

At that moment, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior, telling me:  “My daughter, for one who does My Will and lives in It, all times and all places are hers.  My Supreme Will loses nothing of what It does, and with Its own Unique Power, It does the act and It preserves it within Itself, intact and beautiful, just as It did it.  So, one who lives in My Supreme Will finds in It the order of all Its Acts, as if It were doing them at that very instant; and the soul, uniting herself with It, does what My Volition is doing.

“This is all the Delight, the Satisfaction, the Glory of My Will—that while Its Acts are Eternal, the littleness of the creature who lives in It takes Eternity in her power, and finding the Acts of her Creator as though in act, she repeats with Him, she loves, she glorifies the endlessness of the Acts of He who created her, and so a contest of works, a contest of love and of glory is formed between them. Therefore, the times of Creation are at her disposal, as well as the place of the terrestrial Eden; she has the times of My Incarnation, of My Passion, and Bethlehem, Nazareth and Calvary are not far from her.  Past, distance, do not exist for her, but everything is present and near.  

“Even more, you must know that My Will gives the Unity of everything to the soul, and just as My Will, while being one, does everything, in the same way, the soul who possesses the Divine Unity encloses within herself the thoughts of all, the words, works, steps and heartbeats of all, as if they were one alone, in such a way that My Will finds in her all generations and the single acts of each one, just as It finds them within Itself.  Oh! how the steps of this chosen creature can be recognized—how sweet is her treading.  

“She goes before her God, but she never goes alone—she carries the treading of the steps of all within her steps.  Her voice contains the notes of all human voices, and—oh! what a beautiful harmony she forms in Our Will.  Her heartbeat unleashes little flames for as many creatures as have come out to the existence of life.  Oh! how she delights Us—we amuse ourselves together, she is Our Dear Jewel, the reflection of Our Works, the image of Our Life.  This is why I want My Will to reign in the creature—to fill her with all of Its Acts.  In fact, when It does not Reign, the void of Its Acts is formed in her, and—oh! how terrible is the void of a Divine Will in the creature.  It is like a dry land, full of rocks, without sun and without water, that is terrifying to look at.  And how many there are of these voids in the creature; and when I find one who lives in My Will, I make feast, for I can fill her with all the acts of My Will.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 7, 1917 Volume 12

Finding myself in my usual state, I was lamenting to my sweet Jesus because of His privations, and I said to Him: “What a bitter separation! Separated from You - everything is over. I have remained as the most unhappy creature that can exist.” And Jesus, interrupting me, told me: “My daughter, what separation are you talking about? Only then is the soul separated from Me, when she lets enter into herself something that does not belong to Me. Therefore, I enter into the soul, and if I find her will, her desires, her affections, her thoughts, her heart – everything as my own, I absorb her in Me, and I keep melting her will with Mine, with the Fire of My Love, making them one. I melt her desires with Mine, her affections and thoughts with Mine; and once I have formed one single liquid, I pour it over My whole Humanity like a Celestial Dew, which is made of as many drops of Dew for as many offenses as I receive – and they kiss Me, love Me, repair Me, and balm My Embittered Wounds. And since I am in the act of doing good to all, this dew descends for the good of all creatures. 

“But if I find something extraneous in the soul, which does not belong to Me, I cannot melt what is hers into mine, because Love alone has the virtue of melting and becoming one. Only similar things can mix together and have the same value. Therefore, if there is iron, thorns or stones in the soul - how can they melt? And then there are separations, unhappinesses. 

“So, if nothing has entered into your heart, how can I separate from you?”

After going through bitter days of privations and of sufferings, this morning I found myself outside of myself with Baby Jesus in my arms. As soon as I saw Him, I said: “Ah, dear Jesus, how could You leave me alone? At least teach me how I must behave in this state of abandonment and of sufferings.” And He: “My daughter, offer everything you suffer in your arms, in your legs and in your heart together with the sufferings of My Members by reciting five Glory be’s; and offer it to Divine Justice to satisfy for the works, the steps and the bad desires of the hearts which creatures commit continuously. Unite it, then, to My Sufferings caused by the thorns and to those of My Shoulders, with the recitation of three Glory be’s, and offer it for the satisfaction of the three powers of man, which are so disfigured that I can no longer recognize My Image in them; and try to keep your will always united to Me and in continuous attitude of loving Me. Let your memory be the bell that rings continuously within you, and reminds you of what I have done and suffered for you, and of how many graces I have given to your soul, so as to thank Me and be grateful to Me, since gratitude is the key that opens the Divine Treasures. Let your intellect think of nothing, and occupy itself with nothing but God. If you do this, I will find again My Image in you, and I will take the satisfaction which I cannot receive from the other creatures. And you must do this continuously, because if the offense is continuous, continuous must be the satisfaction.” …

[Jesus speaking]

“…This is Living in Our Will:  feeling Our Life that gives Life to her; feeling Our Operating Act Moving, Breathing, Working in her being.  These are Our Celestial Inhabitants, the Glory in Our House.  We Live as children and Father.  All that is Ours is theirs, but they do indeed recognize it.  They are not blind thieves who have no eyes to look at Our Light, or ears to listen to Our Paternal Attentions, and who do not feel Our Operating Act over them.  On the contrary, those who Live in Our Will feel through Our Operating Act, and this is the Greatest Gift that We can give to the creature.  Therefore, be attentive.  Recognize that your life comes from Us, that We give you all, Breathing and motion, to Live together with you.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 4, 1918 Volume 12

Continuing in my usual state, I was saying to my beloved Jesus: “Do not disdain my prayers. It is Your own Words that I am repeating, Your own Intentions - souls that I want, just as You want them, and with Your own Will.” And blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter, when I hear you repeat My Words, My Prayers, wanting as I want, I feel drawn toward you, as though from many magnets. And as I hear you repeat My Words, My Heart feels many distinct joys, and I can say that it is a feast for Me. And while I enjoy it, I feel debilitated by the love of your soul, and I have no strength to strike the creatures. I feel in you the same chains which I put on the Father in order to reconcile mankind. Ah! yes, repeat what I did - repeat it always, if you want that your Jesus, in the midst of so many bitternesses, may find one joy from the creatures.”

Then He added: “If you want to be safe, repair always, and repair together with Me. Identify yourself with Me so much, as to form one single echo of reparations between Me and you. Wherever there is reparation, the soul is as though in shelter, where she is protected from cold, from hail and from everything. On the other hand, where there is not reparation, it is like being out in the middle of the street, exposed to lightnings, to hail and to all evils. Times are most sad, and if the circle of reparations is not enlarged, there is the danger that those who remain uncovered may be struck by the thunderbolts of Divine Justice.”

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

This morning, as I was in my usual state, I saw my adorable Jesus for a little while, present inside my heart, sleeping, and His sleep drew my soul to fall asleep together with Him; so much so, that I felt all my interior powers asleep, without acting any more.  At times I tried to get out of that sleep, but I could not.  Then blessed Jesus woke up for a little while and sent His Breath into me three times, and it seemed to me that He became all absorbed in me.  Afterwards, it seemed to me that Jesus was drawing those three Breaths He had sent me back into Himself again, and I found myself all transformed in Him.  Who can say what was happening in me because of these Divine Breaths?  I have no words to express that inseparable union between Jesus and me!

After this, it seems I was able to wake up, and Jesus, breaking the silence, told me:  “My daughter, I looked and looked again, I searched and searched again, going throughout the whole earth, but upon you I fixed My Gazes and I found My Satisfactions, and I chose you among a thousand.”

Then, turning to certain people I could see, He reprimanded them, saying to them:  “Lack of esteem for others is lack of true Christian humility and of sweetness, because a humble and sweet spirit knows how to respect everyone and interprets the things of others always for the good.”  Having said this, He disappeared, without my saying to Him even a word.  May He be always blessed for He wants it this way, and may everything be for His glory.

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 2, 1930 Volume 28

[Jesus speaking]

“…Lack of confidence always places an obstacle to the union between Creator and creature; it is the wing-clipper of the flight toward the One who loves her so much; it makes her live at the earth’s level; and even though she does not fall, it makes her feel, vividly, her passions.  More so, since lack of confidence has been the weak act in the course of the centuries, and sometimes even good souls have drawn back in the journey of virtues because of lack of confidence.  And I, in order to remove this torpor that the specter of the lack of confidence produces, wanted to show Myself with you as all Love, and in an intimate way, more than father and daughter, in order to call back, not only you, but all others, to live as My children, as though rocked in My Arms.  And I have enjoyed, and so have you, how beautiful it is to have the creature as all love and all trust with Me; I can give whatever I want, and she has no fear of receiving what she wants.  So, once true confidence is placed in order between Me and you, the greatest obstacle to letting My Divine Will Reign in their souls is removed. …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - June 1, 1924 Volume 16

This morning I found myself outside of myself, and I saw my last late Confessor, surrounded by many people who were all attentive and as though enraptured in listening to him; and he talked and talked, and was so inflamed as to inflame others. I drew near to listen to what he was saying, and to my surprise, I heard that he was saying all that blessed Jesus had told me – His finesses of Love, the many condescensions of Jesus toward me. And when he spoke about the stratagems of Love of Jesus toward me, he radiated Light, to the extent of remaining transfused within that Light; and not only himself, but also those who were listening to him. I remained surprised, and I said to myself: “The Confessor did not do it only in life – telling the things of my soul to others – but he is doing it also after his death, in the other life…” And I waited for him to finish speaking, in order to approach him and tell him about some of my difficulties; but he would not finish, and I found myself inside myself.

Then, according to my usual way, I followed my beloved Jesus in His Passion, satisfying Him, repairing Him, and making His pains my own. And Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, how much great good the memory of Me and of all that I did, suffered and said in My Life, procures for the soul! By compassionating Me and making My Intentions her own, and by remembering, one by one, My Pains, My Works, My Words, she calls them into herself and places them in nice order within her soul, in such a way as to come to take the Fruits of all I did, suffered and said. This produces a sort of Divine Humidity within the soul, in which the Sun of My Grace delights in rising and in forming a Celestial Dew, by virtue of that Humidity. And this dew does not only embellish the soul in a marvelous way, but It has the virtue of mitigating the rays of the burning Sun of My Divine Justice, when, finding souls burned up by the fire of sin, It is about to strike them, burn them and wither them more and more. By mitigating Its rays, this Divine Dew uses them to form a beneficial Dew, in order to prevent them from striking the creatures, and it becomes vital Humidity so as not to let them wither. Oh, how this symbolizes nature when, after a day of burning sun, the plants are about to wither; and a humid night is enough, because, rising again upon that humidity, the sun forms its dew, and instead of making them die, its heat serves to fecundate them and to complete the maturation of their fruits. 

“This happens more surprisingly in the supernatural order. The memory is the beginning of every good. The memory forms many sips for the soul in order to give her life. When good, when things are forgotten, they lose the vital virtue for the soul; they lose their attractiveness, gratitude, correspondence, esteem, love, value. And this memory does not only produce the origin of every good in life, but also after death, it produces the origin of Glory. Have you not heard your late Confessor – how he delighted in speaking about the graces I have given you? This is because during his life he cared about hearing them, he remembered them, and his interior remained filled with them as to overflow outside. And now, how much good did this not procure for him in the other life? It is for him like a fount of Good which overflows for the good of others. Therefore, the more the soul remembers all that belongs to Me, My Graces, the Lessons I have given her, the more the fount of My Goods grows within her, to the point that, unable to contain them, they overflow for the good of others.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 31, 1899 Volume 2

This morning, as I was in my usual state, my adorable Jesus came, and at that very moment I saw the Confessor. Jesus appeared a little disappointed with him, because it seemed that the Confessor wanted everyone to approve that my situation was a work from God, and almost wanted to convince other Priests by showing them something of my interior. 

Jesus turned to the confessor and said to him: “This is impossible. Even I received oppositions, and from people among the most distinguished, and also from Priests and other authorities. They found fault with My Holy Works, to the point of saying that I was possessed by the devil. But I allow these oppositions, even from religious people, so that the Truth may shine more in its own time. If you want to consult with two or three Priests among the most good and holy, and also learned, in order to receive enlightenment and also to do what I want in the things to be done, which is advice from the good and prayer - this, I allow. But the rest - no, no. It would be as though wanting to waste My Works, making fun of them - which displeases Me very much.”

Then He said to me: “All I want from you is an upright and simple operating. Do not bother about the pros and the cons of creatures; let them think what they want, without being the least troubled, since wanting that all be favorable is wanting to deviate from the imitation of My own Life.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 30, 1925 Volume 17

[Jesus speaking to Luisa]

“… You [Luisa} are in a condition which is almost similar to the conditions of the Blessed in Heaven. They have not lost their free will; this is a gift which I gave man, and whatever I give once, I never take back. Slavery has never entered Heaven. I am the God of sons, not of slaves; I am the King who makes everyone reign – there is no separation between Me and them. But in Heaven the knowledge of My Goods, of My Will and of My Happiness, is so great and so vast that they are filled to the brim, to the point of overflowing; and so their will finds no place to act. And while they are free, the Knowledge of an Infinite Will and of the Infinite Goods in which they are immersed, leads them, with an irresistible force, to use their will as if they did not have it, considering this as their highest fortune and happiness, but still, in spontaneous freedom and of their own will.

“The same for you, My daughter [Luisa]. Making My Will known to you has been the greatest Grace I have given you; and while you are free to do your will or not, before Mine, your will feels incapable of working - it feels annihilated. Knowing the great Good of My Will, you abhor yours, and without anyone forcing you, you love to do My Will, in view of the great Good which comes to you. And the many Knowledges of My Will, which I have manifested to you [Luisa], are Divine Bonds, Eternal Chains that surround you, possessions of Celestial Goods. And if you wanted to escape these Eternal Chains, to break these Divine Bonds, to lose these celestial possessions also in this life, your will, though free, would not find its way out - it becomes confused, it sees its littleness, and fearing itself, or a trick of its own, it dives and plunges itself into My Will, with more spontaneous love. Knowledge opens the doors to the good which is known, and the more knowledges I manifested to you about My Will, the more different doors of Goods, of Light, of Grace and of Divine participation, I opened for you. 

“These doors are opened for you [Luisa]; and as these knowledges reach the midst of creatures, the doors will be opened for them, because knowledge makes love arise for the good which is known. The great door, which I will open, will be My Will, so that they may close the little door of their will. My Will will make them abhor their own, because in the face of My Will, the human is incapable of acting. With the light of My Will, the creature can see how insignificant and good at nothing her own is. Therefore, as a consequence, the creatures who will penetrate into these Divine Knowledges, according to the efforts they will make in order to reach them, will keep their own will aside. Moreover, you must know that when I manifest to you one Knowledge about My Will, only then do I decide to open another door of My Knowledge, when you have let all the Good of what I have manifested to you, enter into your soul. If I did not do so, yours would only be the news of that Good, but not the possession of It. And I cannot do this – whenever I speak, I want the Good which I manifest, to be possessed. Therefore, be attentive in the practice of My Will, that I may open to you more doors of My Knowledges, and that you may enter more into the Divine Possessions.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 29, 1924 Volume 16

I was thinking of when my sweet Jesus went back to Heaven in His glorious Ascension, and therefore of the sorrow of the Apostles in remaining deprived of such a great good; and my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, the greatest sorrow for all of the Apostles, in their entire lives, was to remain deprived of their Master. As they saw Me ascend to Heaven, their hearts were consumed with the pain of My Privation; and much more sharp and penetrating was this pain, since it was not a human pain – something material that they were losing – but a Divine pain: it was a God that they were losing. And even though I had My Humanity, as It resurrected, It was spiritualized and glorified, therefore all the pain was in their souls; and penetrating them completely, it made them feel consumed with grief, such as to form in them the most harrowing and painful martyrdom. But all this was necessary for them.

“One can say that until that moment, they were nothing but tender babies in virtues and in the knowledge of Divine things, and of My own Person. I could say that I was in their midst and they did not really know Me, or love Me. But when they saw Me ascend into Heaven, the pain of losing Me tore the veil, and they recognized Me with so much certainty as the true Son of God, that the intense sorrow of no longer seeing Me in their midst delivered firmness in good and strength to suffer anything for love of the One whom they had lost. It delivered the Light of Divine Science; it removed the swaddling clothes of their childhood, and formed them as intrepid men - no longer fearful, but courageous… The pain transformed them and formed in them the true character of Apostles. What I could not obtain with My Presence, I obtained with the pain of My Privation. …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 28, 1933 Volume 32

[Jesus speaking]

“… Now, as the human will has its doors, its stairs, in order to descend into the abyss of evils, not in order to ascend, so My Divine Will has Its doors, Its stairs, in order to Ascend to Its Heavens, to Its Immense Goods, and It forms the Living Paradise of the one who possesses It.  And every Knowledge that regards It is one door that is opened, it is a stair that is formed, it is a way that opens before you that you must cross in order to possess with deeds what you have known.  See, therefore, the Great Good of the so many Knowledges that I have manifested to you.  They are so many Doors that make the entrance into Its Kingdom easy for you.  And at every door I have placed an Angel as Guardian so that he would give you a hand and conduct you safely into the Regions of the Divine Will.  

“Every Knowledge is an Invitation and a Divine Strength that It cedes to you, and makes you feel the extreme need, the absolute necessity, of Living of Divine Will.  As It makes Itself known, so It extends Its Arms to you in order to take you and conduct you in Its Arms into that same Knowledge that It has Manifested to you.  It adapts it to your capacity, It molds your soul so that it enters into you as Vital Humor, as Blood, as Air, and it produces in you the Life, the Goods that Its Knowledge possesses.  And acting as Conductor, more than mother It remains on guard in order to see when Its daughter has absorbed the last drop of the Good that It has made known to her, in order to again open Its Bosom to her.  And pouring Itself into Its daughter, and making her know other Values, other Effects, that the Life of My Volition contains, then It repeats Its Labor, because It wants to see in her the Value of Its Life, the Effects, the Substance of Its Goods.  

“Now, the Knowledges about My Divine Will instruct the human volition, and she acquires Science and Reason, that it is not only Justice to let It Reign and Dominate as Primary Life in her soul, but it is the Greatest Good, Honor and Great Glory that she can receive, that this Holy Volition, by Dominating, arrives at giving her the state of Divine Royalty.  Because she feels herself daughter of the Great King, the Royalty is also therefore her property.  When the creature has arrived at comprehending all this by way of Knowledges and Lessons that My Divine Volition has made to her, everything is done.  My Will has Conquered the human volition, and the human volition has Conquered the Divine Will.  The Knowledges about It are so very necessary, because they serve to dry up the bad humors and substitute them with the Holy humors.  They are as sun that darts the human volition, and they communicate Its Life, Its Sanctity, and the ardent desire to possess the Good that one knows.

“Therefore, be attentive to listen to Its Lessons and correspond to such a Good.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 27, 1922 Volume 14

I was thinking to myself: “If one act done in His Will is so great, how many of them, alas, do I let escape!” And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, there is the prevenient act and the actual act. The prevenient act is when the soul, at the first rising of the day, fixes her will in Mine, and decides and confirms that she wants to live and operate only in My Volition. She anticipates all of her acts and makes them all flow in My Will. With the prevenient will, My Sun rises, My Life remains duplicated in all of her acts, as though in one single act; and this makes up for the actual act. However, the prevenient act can be shaded - obscured by the human ways, by one’s own will, by self-esteem, by negligence and other things, which are like clouds before the Sun, that render its light less vivid on the face of the earth.

“On the other hand, the actual act is not subject to clouds; on the contrary, it has the virtue of dispelling the clouds, if there are any, and it makes many more suns rise, in which My Life is duplicated, with such vividness of light and heat as to form as many new suns, one more beautiful than the other. However, both of them are necessary: the prevenient act gives the hand, disposes and forms the plane for the actual act; the actual act preserves and expands the plane of the prevenient.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 26, 1927 Volume 21

…After this, I was thinking to myself:  “Jesus loves His Will so much, and it seems that He so much yearns for It to be known, so that It may dominate and reign.  But it seems difficult to me that the Divine Will may be known, because there is no one who occupies himself with It, nor is anyone interested.  All the interest is of Jesus, but in creatures it does not exist.  So, if these creatures neglect to give this great glory to God as well as to hold out the Fullness of All Goods to creatures, how can the Kingdom of the Eternal Fiat ever become known?”

Now, while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior and told me:  “My daughter, what seems difficult to you is not difficult for God, just as in Redemption there were no difficulties for God, nor could all the human perfidy hinder the course of Our Love, and even less the fulfillment of Our Decision to come to redeem mankind.  When the Divinity decides to do an act, to accomplish a work, whatever the causes, the circumstances, the impediments might be, It triumphs of everything, It conquers everything, and It does what It has established.  

“So, the culminating and important point for God is in establishing what He wants to do; once He has done this, He has done everything.  Therefore, if in Us it is established that Our Will must be known and that Its Kingdom will come upon earth, it is as though already done.  Just as Redemption was accomplished, because It was established by Us, so it will be done for Our Will; more so, since this, Its Kingdom, was issued by the Divinity in Creation—fully in order, so that It might reign and dominate; and with the fall of man this Kingdom was not destroyed, but remained intact—and It still exists; only, It remained suspended for man.  

“In Redemption I smoothed everything out, and just as I did everything so that man might be redeemed, so I did everything so that this suspension be removed, and the creature might enter into the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat—first, giving place to Redemption, and then, with time, giving place to My Will.  So, what is difficult is to form a kingdom, a work; but once it is done, it becomes easy to make it known.  More so, since your Jesus does not lack power; I may lack wanting to do or not do a work, but power I never lack.  I will dispose things, circumstances, creatures, events, in such a way as to make it easy for My Will to become known.” …
