Divine Will for every day of the year - February 18, 1912 Volume 11

Finding myself in my usual state, my always adorable Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, everything you do for Me, even a breath, enters into Me as a pledge of your love for Me; and I give you, in exchange, My Pledges of Love. Therefore, the soul can say, ‘I live on the Pledges that My Beloved gives to me.’” Then He added: “My beloved daughter, one can say that, as you live in My Life, your life is finished — you do not live any longer. Therefore, since you no longer live, but Myself within you, anything they may do to you, pleasing or displeasing, I will receive as if it were done directly to Me. Here is how you can understand this: you won’t feel anything, pleasure or displeasure, whatever they may do to you; and who else could feel it if not Myself, who lives in you and loves you very, very much?”

[Jesus speaking]

“…My Love is that which comes closest to man — even more, It is the cradle in which he was born, although everything is in harmony in My Divinity, just as the members are in full harmony with the body. Even though the intelligence takes on the directing role, in which the will of man resides, if he does not want, one can say that the eye does not see, the hand does not work, the foot does not walk. On the other hand, if he wants, the eye sees, the hand works, the foot runs — all members place themselves in accord. The same with My Divinity: My Will takes on the directing role, and all the other attributes place themselves in full harmony in order to follow what My Will wants. Therefore, Wisdom, Power, Science, Goodness, etc., concur. And since all of My Attributes, although distinct among themselves, live in the fount of Love and overflow with Love, this is why, while it is Love that runs, acts and gives Itself, all of my other attributes concur with It. 

"Furthermore, that which is most necessary to man is Love. Love is like bread for the natural life. One can do without science, power, wisdom, or at most, these are things which one wants in time and circumstance. But what would one say if I had created man and did not love him? Besides, why create him if I were not to love him? It would be a dishonor for Me, and a work unworthy of Me, who can do no other thing but Love. And what would happen to man if he did not have an origin of Love and could not love? He would a brute, and unworthy even to be looked at. Therefore, Love must run in everything. Love should run in all the human actions, just as the image of the king circulates in the currency of a kingdom; and if the coins are not marked with the image of the king, they are not recognized as currency. In the same way, if Love does not run in a work, it is not recognized as My Work.”

As I was in my usual state, I was thinking about why it is the cross alone that makes us know whether we really love the Lord, while there are many other things, like the virtues, prayer, the Sacraments, which could make us know whether we love the Lord. While I was thinking of this, blessed Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, it is really so, the cross alone is that which makes one know whether he really loves the Lord — but a cross carried with patience and resignation, because where there is patience and resignation in crosses, there is Divine Life. Since nature is so reluctant to suffering, if there is patience, it cannot be something natural, but Divine, and the soul no longer loves the Lord with her love alone, but united with the Love of the Divine Life. So, what doubt can she have whether she loves or not, if she arrives at loving Him with His own love? 

“On the other hand, in the other things, and even in the very Sacraments, there also may be someone who loves, who contains this Divine Life within himself, but these things cannot give the certainty of the cross. It may be there, or it may not, because of lack of dispositions. One can very well go to Confession, but if he lacks the dispositions, it certainly cannot be said that he loves and that he has received this Divine Life within himself. Another may receive Communion; indeed he receives the Divine Life, but he can only say that this Divine Life remains within him if he had the true dispositions. In fact, it can be seen how some receive Communion or go to Confession, but as occasions arise, the patience of Divine Life cannot be seen in them; and if patience is missing, love is missing because love is recognized only through sacrifice. And so here are the doubts; while the cross, patience, resignation, are fruits produced only by Grace and by Love.”

… Then, I continued my abandonment in the Divine Fiat, and unable to do anything else, I kept saying my little “I love You” in the Divine Acts.  Not only this, but I was saying to myself:  “My Jesus, my Love, may my ‘I love You’ flow in Your heartbeat, in Your breath, on Your tongue, in Your voice, and even in the littlest particles of Your adorable Person.”  But while I was doing this, my dear Life, making Himself seen, made me place my “I love You” in His Heart, inside and outside of His whole Divine Person.  And He enjoyed it so much, that He incited me to repeat as many “I love You’s” as I could, so as to be able to find the well-liked “I love You” in His whole Being.  

And then, clasping me to Himself, He told me:  “My daughter, love is life, and when this love comes out of the soul who lives in My Will, it has the virtue of forming in God Himself the life of love.  And since the substance of the Divine Life is Love, the creature, with her love, forms in God another Divine Life, and We feel inside of Our very Selves Our Life formed by the creature.  This Life that, with her love, united to Our Will—because it is Our Will that administers to her the power, such that the creature can reach the point of forming the very Divine Life, all of love, within God—this Life is the triumph of God and the triumph of the creature.  And in act of triumph We take this Divine Life that the creature has formed within Our very Selves, and We give It for the good of all creatures as the precious gift that the little daughter of Our Will gives to all; and We anxiously await her to come with her love to form more Divine Lives within Our Supreme Being.  My daughter, Our Love is not sterile; on the contrary, It has the seed of generating continuous life; so, as you were saying ‘I love You’ in My heartbeat, in My breath, so I generated another heartbeat, another breath—and so with all the rest, in such a way that I felt within Myself the new generation of your ‘I love You’ that formed the new Life of My Love; and—oh! how happy I felt, thinking that My daughter was forming for Me, inside of Me, My very Life within Me, all of love.  If you knew how moving is this act of the creature, that with her love gives God to God….  Oh! how it enraptures Us; and feeling enraptured, We give more Love, to have the contentment of making her repeat Our new lives of love.  Therefore, love, love very much, and you will make your sweet Jesus happier.”

 My flight continues in the Divine Volition.  O, how lost I feel inside Its Immensity!  Its Power and Activity are such that, when It Operates in the act of the creature, It wants to give that act to everyone, filling Heaven and earth, to make everyone see and feel what It can do and how It can Love.  I remained surprised, and my beloved Jesus, visiting my little soul, all Goodness told me:  “My blessed daughter, the Love of My Will Operating in the creature is such as to appear unbelievable.  When It Works, My Will wants all to receive that Act and make it their own.  With Its Omnipotent Breath, It puts wings on that Act so as to impose it on the sun, the Heaven, the stars, the wind, the sea, and even the air that all breathe.  Then it flies higher, up to the Celestial regions, and everyone—the Angels, the Saints, the Mother and Queen, and even Our Divinity—goes through that Act, in such a way that they all must be able to say:  ‘This Act is mine.’  But do you know why?  The Love of My Will is such that It wants everyone to possess Its Act, giving Life to each one of them.  It wants to decorate, ornament and invest everything and everyone with Its Creative Virtue in order to receive the Glory, the Love and the Honor of My Will from everything and from each one.  

“My Volition never stops.  It is satisfied only when It sees that Its Act has filled everything; then, It carries along with Itself—as a Triumph—the creature who gave It the freedom to Operate in her act, to make It known and be Loved by all.  These are Our Feasts—Our Pure Joys of Creation:  to be able to place Ourselves in the creature, as if We wanted to duplicate Our Power, Immensity, Love and Glory to the Infinite, within the human act of the creature.  And there’s no wonder about it—Our Divine Will is everywhere; therefore, Our Acts that animate the acts of the creatures fly, taking shelter inside Our Volition, even in the most tiny hiding places in which My Will is present.  These Acts serve Us as a return of Love for the whole of Creation, as the sweetest of company—as narrators of Our Supreme Being.  Therefore, Our Love is Exuberant for the one who wants to Live in our Fiat.  We are all eyes over her—almost spying—to see when she gives Us her act; to let Our Creative Virtue Operate in it.  This creature is for Us the show of Our Love—the activity of Our Power; and she becomes the Repeater of Our own Life.” …

I felt all afflicted, and my sweet Jesus, making Himself seen for just a little, told me:  “My daughter, courage, be faithful and attentive to Me, because faithfulness and attentiveness produce equality of humors in the soul, forming one single humor and establishing perfect peace; and this peace renders her dominator, in such a way that she does whatever she wants, and reaches wherever she wants.  Especially for one who lives in My Will, it happens as to the sun — it never changes, one is its act:  to unleash light and heat from its sphere.  It does not do something today, and something else tomorrow; it is always faithful and constant in doing the same thing.  But while its act is one, as this act descends and hits the surface of the earth, how many different acts do not take place?  They are almost innumerable.  If it finds a flower half-closed, with the kiss of its light and with its heat, it opens it and gives it color and fragrance.  If it finds an unripe fruit, it matures it and gives it sweetness.  If it finds fields that are green, it makes them golden.  If it finds air that is putrid, it purifies it with the kiss of its light.  In sum, to all things it gives what they need for their existence on this earth, and to be able to produce the utility which they contain, and which has been established by God.  So, by its faithfulness and by doing always the same thing, the sun is the fulfillment of the Divine Will over all created things.  Oh, if the sun were not always equal in sending its light, how many fluctuations, how many disorders there would be on earth!  And man would not be able to make any calculation, either about fields, or about plants.  He would say:  ‘If the sun does not send me its light and its heat, I do not know when I am supposed to harvest, nor when the fruits will mature.’

“The same happens with the soul who is faithful and attentive:  in My Will one is her act, but its effects are innumerable.  On the other hand, if she is inconstant and inattentive, neither she nor I can make any calculation, nor establish the good which she can produce.”

As I was in my usual state, I was feeling all oppressed because of the privation of my blessed Jesus. Then He came for just a little, and told me: “My daughter, all other virtues in the creatures build a wall of a certain height, but the wall of the soul who lives in the Will of God is a wall so high and deep, that neither its depth nor its height can be found. Also, it is all of pure and solid gold, not subject to any misfortune, because since this wall is in the Divine Volition – that is, in God – God Himself keeps it, and there is no power that can defy God. And the soul, while living in this Divine Volition, is clothed with a Light all similar to the One in whom she lives, so much so, that also in Heaven she will shine more than all the others, in such a way as to be an occasion of greater glory for the very saints. Ah, My daughter, think a little bit of what an atmosphere of peace and of goods the mere words ‘Will of God’ contain. At the mere thought of wanting to live in this atmosphere, the soul feels already changed; she feels a Divine Air investing her, she feels her human being being dissolved, she feels divinized – from impatient, patient; from proud - humble, docile, charitable, obedient; in sum, from poor, rich. All the other virtues arise to surround, like a crown, this high wall which has no boundaries; because, since God has no boundaries, the soul is dissolved within God, she loses her own boundaries, and acquires the boundaries of the Will of God.”

… After this, I was doing my round in the Creation, and while impressing my ‘I love you’ on each created thing, I asked that, by virtue of that Divine Will that preserves them beautiful and whole, the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat would come upon earth.  But while I was doing this, I thought to myself:  “Created things are inanimate, therefore they do not have the virtue of asking for a Kingdom so holy.”  But while I was thinking of this, my beloved Jesus came out from within my interior and told me:  “My daughter, it is true that created things are without soul; however within each one of them flows the life of My Will, and only by virtue of It, they maintain themselves beautiful, just as they were created.  Now, created things are all noble and queens — all belonging to My royal family; and by virtue of My Will which animates them, and of the acts which My Will exercises in them, they have the right to ask for the coming of My Kingdom, because it is also their Kingdom.  In order to ask, with right, for the coming of the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat, it is necessary to be one from Our Family, in whom Our Will has Its prime place, Its Throne, Its Life.  This is why I first made you be born in It, so that It might have Its Rights of paternity over you, and you might have the rights of daughter, in order to have the rights to ask for Its Kingdom – to ask, not yourself alone, but also by virtue of all created things — that is, of all those innumerable acts which Our Will exercises in all Creation – that Our Kingdom and yours may come.  …”

[Jesus speaking]

…“The doctrine on My Will is the purest, the most beautiful, not subject to any shadow of the material or of interest, either in the supernatural or in the natural order. Therefore, just like the sun, It will be the most penetrating, the most fecund, and the most welcomed and appreciated. And being Light, It will make Itself understood and will make Its own way. It will not be subject to doubt or suspicions of error; and if some words will not be understood, it will be because of too much Light, which, eclipsing the human intellect, will not allow them to understand the whole fullness of the Truth. However, they will not find one word which is not true. At the most, they will not be able to comprehend it fully. 

“Therefore, in view of the Good which I see, I push you to neglect nothing in writing. One saying, one effect, one simile on My Will can be like beneficial dew upon the souls, just as dew is beneficial on the plants after a day of burning sun, or like a pouring rain after long months of drought. You cannot understand all the Good, the Light, the Strength contained in one word; but your Jesus knows it, and knows the ones whom it will serve and the good it will do.”

Now, as He was saying this, He showed me a table in the midst of the Church, and all the writings on the Divine Will placed on it. Many venerable people surrounded that table and were transformed into Light and Divinized; and as they walked, they communicated that Light to whomever they encountered. Then Jesus added: “You will see this great Good from Heaven, when the Church will receive this Celestial Food, which will strengthen her and make her rise again to her full Triumph.”

[Luisa speaking]

“Jesus, my Love, I want to follow, step by step, the steps of my Celestial Mama; and as She walks, I want to animate the blades of grass, the atoms of the earth, and make You feel my ‘I love You’ under Her soles.  I want to animate all the light of the sun, and, as it shines on Your face, I want it to bring You my ‘I love You’; all the waves of the wind, its caresses—let all say to You:  ‘I love You.’  I am the one who, in Your Fiat, brings You the warmth of the sun to warm You, the waves of the wind to caress You, its whistling to speak to You and say:  ‘Dear little One, let everyone know Your Divine Will; let It come out from within Your little Humanity, that It may take Its Dominion and form Its Kingdom in the midst of creatures.’”

But while my mind was wandering after Jesus—and I would be too long if I wanted to say everything—my highest and only Good, Jesus, moved in my interior, and all goodness told me:  “My daughter, My Mama and I were like two twins born of the same labor, because We had but one Will that gave Us life.  The Divine Fiat placed all Our Acts in common, in such a way that the Son was reflected in Her, and the Mama was reflected in the Son.  So, the Kingdom of the Divine Will had Its full force, Its perfect Dominion within Us; and as We were fleeing to Egypt, We carried the Divine Volition as though strolling throughout those regions, and We felt Its great Sorrow for It was not reigning in creatures; and, looking at the centuries, We felt the great Joy of Its Kingdom that It was to form in their midst.  

“And, oh! how pleasing to Us did your repeated refrains in the wind, in the sun, in the water, under Our steps, reach Us upon the wings of Our Fiat:  ‘I love You, I love You—let Your Kingdom come.’  It was Our echo that We could hear in you, as We wanted nothing but the Divine Will to reign and be the conqueror of all.  Therefore, even from that time We loved Our tiny little one, who asked for and wanted but what We Ourselves wanted.” …

Continuing in my poor state of privation and of unspeakable bitterness – at the most, He makes Himself seen in silence – this morning He told me:  “My daughter, the characteristics of My children are:  love for the Cross, love for the Glory of God, and love for the Glory of the Church — to the point of laying down their lives.  One who does not have these characteristics, in vain calls himself My son; one who dares to say it, is a liar and a traitor who betrays God and himself.  Take a look into yourself, to see whether you have them.”  And He disappeared.

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 7, 1926 Volume 18

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition according to my usual way, and taking the eternal ‘I love you’ of my sweet Jesus, and making it my own, I was going around throughout the whole Creation in order to impress it upon each thing, so that everything and everyone might have one single note, one single sound, one single harmony – ‘I love You, I love You, I love You’ – for myself and for all, toward my Creator, who so much loved me.  Now, while I was doing this, my lovable Jesus came out from within my interior, and pressing me to His Heart, all tenderness, told me:  “My daughter, how beautiful is the ‘I love You’ of one who lives in My Will.  I hear the echo of Mine together with hers over all created things, therefore I feel the requital of love of the creature for everything I have done.  And then, to love means to possess what one loves, or wanting to possess that which is loved.  So, you love the whole Creation because It is Mine, and I let you love It because I want to make It yours.  Your repeated ‘I love You’ for Me upon each created thing is the way and the right of possession – the right to possess them.  In feeling loved, all Creation recognizes their master, and therefore they make feast in hearing your ‘I love You’ being repeated upon them.  Love makes one recognize what is one’s own, and they give themselves only to those by whom they are loved; and My Will reigning in the soul is the confirmation that what is Mine is hers.  Now, when something is in common between two persons, highest accord is needed, one cannot do without the other; and here is the necessity of their inseparable union, of continuous communications on what to do with what they possess.  Oh! how My Will Reigning in the soul raises her above everything; and loving with the love of a God, she can love all things with His very love, and is constituted possessor and queen of all Creation.

“My daughter, it is in this happy state that I created man; My Will was to make up for all that was lacking in him, and to raise him to the likeness of his Creator.  And this is precisely My aim upon you — to make you return to the origin, as We created man.  Therefore, I do not want division between Me and you, nor that what is Mine be not yours; but in order to give you your rights, I want you to recognize what is Mine, so that, as you love everything and your ‘I love You’ flows over all things, all of Creation may recognize you.  They will feel in you the echo of the beginning of the creation of man, and delighting in it, they will yearn to be possessed by you. …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 6, 1932 Volume 30

… So I continued to follow the Acts of the Divine Will, and my beloved Jesus added:  “My daughter, every time you form one of your acts in the Act of My Divine Will, so many more Bonds you form in It, remaining confirmed as many times for however many acts as you do in the Divine Fiat, and It remains confirmed as many more times in you.   And with every Bond and Confirmation that you make, My Will enlarges Its Seas around you.  And for Confirmation, as Seal, It places there one of Its Truths, one of Its Knowledges, and It manifests to you one more degree about the Value that My Will contains.  But do you know what these Bonds, Confirmations, Truths, Knowledges, additional Values that you come to know, do in your soul?  They make the Life of My Will grow in you.  Not only this, but repeating your acts, they have so many more degrees of Values, for however many more you have known.  Your acts become placed on the scale of Divine Value, and their value is as much for however much you have known, and for however much Value has been communicated by Us in your act, such that your act of yesterday, repeating it today, does not have the same value of yesterday, but has acquired the New Value that We have made known.  

“Therefore, the repetition of acts, accompanied by New Truths and Knowledges, day-by-day acquires New degrees of infinite, always growing, Value.  We not only place the acts of the creature done in Our Will on Our Eternal Scale in order to give them the weight of an infinite Value, but We conserve them in Our Divine Bank in order to give them a hundredfold.  Therefore every time you repeat your acts, so many times your little money becomes placed in Our Divine Bank, and therefore you acquire so many more Rights of receiving from Us.  

“See, therefore, where the excess of Our Love reaches, that We want to make Ourselves Debtors of the creature, receiving the little money of her acts in Our immense Bank.  Though We possess so much of it, still We love so much to receive the little tiny money in order to give her the right of Our Giving to her of Ours.  At whatever cost, Our Love wants to have something to do with the creature, it wants to be in continuous relationship with her, and this by way of giving, and perhaps even of losing.  Many times, while We want to give to her, We want to let her know so many beautiful things of Ours, We want to let her hear how very sweet and powerful Our Word is, and she shows herself cold, indifferent, if not also turning her back to Us, and Our Love remains as defeated by way of human ingratitude.  But the little daughter will never do this, isn’t that true?  Your littleness makes you feel the extreme need of your Jesus, of His Love, and of His Will.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 5, 1924 Volume 16

… I was left strengthened, yes, but with such melancholy as to feel myself dying.  I felt as though soaked in a bath of bitternesses and afflictions; so much so, that I did not feel the strength to say to Jesus:  “Come.”  Then, while I was doing my usual prayers, my beloved Jesus came back, telling me:  “My daughter, tell Me, why are you so melancholic?  See, I come from the midst of creatures with tears in My Eyes, My Heart pierced, betrayed by many, and so I said to Myself:  ‘Let Me go to My daughter, to My little newborn of My Will, that she may dry My Tears.  With her acts that she has done in My Will, she will give Me the love and everything that the others do not give Me; I will rest in her, and I will cheer her with My Presence.’  And you, instead, let yourself be found as so melancholic, that I have to put My Pains aside in order to relieve yours.  Don’t you know that cheerfulness for the soul is like fragrance for flowers, like condiment for foods, like the skin tone for people, like maturation for fruits, like the sun for plants?  So, with this melancholy, you have not let Me found a fragrance that may cheer Me, nor a tasty food, nor a mature fruit; rather, you are all faded as to move Me to pity.  Poor daughter, courage, cling to Me, do not fear.”  I clung to Him; I would have wanted to burst into tears, I felt my voice being suffocated, but I plucked up strength, I repressed my tears, and I said to Him:  “Jesus, my Love, my pains are nothing compared to Yours.  So, let us think about Your Pains if You don’t want to add more bitternesses to mine.  Let me dry Your Tears, and let me share in the Pains of Your Heart.”  So He shared His Pains with me, and while letting me see the grave evils present in the world, and those which will come, He disappeared from me.

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 4, 1919 Volume 12

Continuing in my usual state, for about three days I felt I was dissolved in God. Many times good Jesus drew Me inside His Most Holy Humanity, and I swam in the immense sea of the Divinity. Oh, how many things one could see! How clearly one could see all that the Divinity operated in His Humanity! Very often my Jesus interrupted my surprises, telling me: “Do you see, My daughter, with what Excess of Love I loved the creature? My Divinity was too jealous to entrust to the creature the task of Redemption, and so It made Me suffer the Passion. The creature had no power to make Me die as many times for as many creatures which had come, and were to come to the light of Creation, and for as many mortal sins as they would have the disgrace to commit. The Divinity wanted life for each life of creature, and life for each death which she gave herself through mortal sin. Who could be so powerful over Me as to give Me so many deaths, if not My own Divinity? Who would have had the strength, the love, the constancy to watch Me dying so many times, if not My own Divinity? The creature would have grown tired, and would have given up. 

“And do not think that this crafting of My Divinity started late, but as soon as My Conception was accomplished, even in the womb of My Mama, who many times was aware of My Pains, and was martyred, feeling death along with Me. Therefore, even from the maternal womb, My Divinity took on the commitment of loving executioner – but, because loving, more demanding and inflexible; so much so, that not a thorn was spared to My groaning Humanity — not a nail... But not like the thorns, the nails, the scourges I suffered in the Passion which creatures gave Me, and which did not multiply — as many as they inflicted, so many remained. Rather, those of My Divinity multiplied at each offense — as many thorns for as many evil thoughts; as many nails for as many unworthy works; as many blows for as many pleasures; as many pains for as many different offenses. They were seas of pains, thorns, nails, and innumerable blows. In the face of the Passion which My Divinity gave Me, the Passion which the creatures gave Me on the last of My days was nothing but the shadow — the image of what My Divinity made Me suffer during the course of My Life. This is why I love souls so much: they are lives that they cost Me — they are pains inconceivable to created mind. Therefore, enter into My Divinity, and see and touch with your own hand all that I suffered.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 3, 1912 Volume 10

Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus came, and placing His holy hand under my chin, He told me: “My daughter, you are the reflection of My Glory.”

Then He added: “In the world I need mirrors to which to go and look at Myself. Only then can a fount serve as mirror in which people can reflect themselves, when the fount is pure; but it is of no use for the fount to be pure if the waters are cloudy. It is useless for that fount to boast about the preciousness of the stones on which it is founded, if the waters are cloudy; nor can the sun make its rays perpendicular so as to render those waters silvery and communicate to them the variety of colors; nor can people reflect themselves in it. My daughter, virgin souls are the similes of the purity of the fount: the crystal clear and pure waters are the upright working, the sun that make its rays perpendicular is Me, the variety of colors is love. Therefore, if I do not find purity, upright working and love in a soul, she cannot be My mirror. 

“These are My mirrors in which I make My Glory be reflected; with all the others, even if they are virgins, not only can I not reflect Myself, but if I wanted to do so, I would not recognize Myself in them. And the sign of all this is peace; from this you will be able to know how very scarce are the mirrors I have in the world. In fact, very few are the peaceful souls.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 2, 1917 Volume 11

As I was in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself, and I found my always lovable Jesus, dripping Blood all over, with a horrible crown of thorns, looking at me with difficulty through the thorns. He told me: “My daughter, the world has become unbalanced because it has lost the thought of My Passion. In darkness, it has not found the Light of My Passion which would illuminate it by making known to it My Love and how much souls cost Me, in such a way that it could turn to loving the One who has truly loved it; and the Light of My Passion, guiding it, would put it on its guard against all dangers. In weakness, it has not found the strength of My Passion which would sustain it. In impatience, it has not found the mirror of My Patience which would infuse in it calm and resignation, in such a way that, in the face of My Patience, feeling ashamed, it would make it its duty to dominate itself. In pains, it has not found the comfort of the pains of a God which, sustaining its pains, would infuse in it love of suffering. In sin, it has not found My Sanctity which, placing itself in front of it, would infuse in it hate of sin. Ah, man has made an abuse of everything, because he has moved away from the One who could help him! This is why the world has lost balance. It behaved like a child who no longer wanted to recognize his mother; or like a disciple who, denying his master, no longer wanted to listen to his teachings, or learn his lessons. What will happen to this child and to this disciple? They will be the sorrow of themselves, and the terror and sorrow of society. Such has man become – terror and sorrow; but a sorrow without pity. Ah, man is getting worse and worse, and I cry over him with tears of blood!”

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 1, 1903 Volume 4

As I was in my usual state, I was feeling very afflicted, especially because my confessor had told me that this morning a Protestant Church would be opened in Corato, and that I should pray the Lord to make something happen that would confuse them, at the cost of any suffering of mine. But, seeing that the Lord was not coming and therefore I did not feel great sufferings — the only means to obtain these kinds of graces — I felt a most great affliction. Then, after I struggled a lot, blessed Jesus came, and I saw the Confessor insisting very much, and praying that I might suffer. So it seemed that He shared with me the pains of the cross, and then He told me: “My daughter, I have made you suffer, forced by the Priestly authority, and I will permit that those who go there, instead of being convinced by what the Protestants say, will make fun of them. However, since the chastisement swooped down on Corato in those days in which I kept you suspended from the state of victim, it must now have its course; and if you continue to suffer, I will dispose the hearts in such a way that, at the appropriate time, I will make use of some occasion to have them remain completely confused and destroyed.” 

Then, afterwards, the Queen Mother came, as if She wanted to use a trait of Justice with me; She reproached me bitterly for any thought or word especially when, seeing myself with very few sufferings, I say that it is no longer Will of God, and therefore I want to go out of this state. Who can say with what rigor She reproached me, telling me: “If the Lord permits that you be suspended for a few days, this can be; but the fact that you yourself dispose yourself to do it, this is intolerable before God, as you almost come to dictate the laws on how He should keep you.” I felt the strength of rigor so much, that I was about to faint, to the point that blessed Jesus, having compassion for me, sustained me in His Arms.

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 31, 1928 Volume 23

… After this, I was thinking of how much evil the human will has done to the poor creatures, and therefore I abhor it, I do not want to know it ever again, and not even look at it, because it is too nauseating.  

But while I was thinking of this, my Beloved Jesus moved in my interior and told me:  “My daughter, the human will on its own is nauseating, but united with Mine is the most beautiful thing I created.  More so, since the Divinity could never issue anything created by Us that would be nauseating.  United with Ours, the human will would have the continuous motion of good, of light, of sanctity, of beauty; and through Our Continuous Motion, that never ceases, it would have been the greatest prodigy of Creation.  Our Motion would purify it from any shadow of stain.  …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 30, 1916 Volume 11

I was fusing myself completely in my always adorable Jesus, and while I was doing this, Jesus came, fusing Himself all in me, telling me: “My daughter, when the soul lives completely in My Will, if she thinks, her thoughts are reflected in My Mind in Heaven; if she desires, if she speaks, if she loves — all is reflected in Me, and all I do is reflected in her. It happens as when the sun is reflected in the glass: one can see another sun in it, completely similar to the sun in the heavens — with this difference: the sun in the heavens is fixed and remains always in its place, while the sun in the glass is passing. 

“Now, My Will crystallizes the soul, and all she does is reflected in Me; and I, wounded and enraptured by these reflections, send her all My Light, so as to form another Sun in her. Therefore, one Sun in Heaven and another one on earth appear. What enchantment! What harmonies between them! How many goods are poured out for the benefit of all! 

“But if the soul is not fixed in my Will, it can happen to her as to the sun which is formed in the glass, which is a passing sun; after a while, the glass remains obscured, and the Sun in Heaven remains alone.”
