Divine Will for every day of the year - August 16, 1899 Volume 2

Jesus continues to want me to act as His mother. He made Himself seen as a most gracious little baby, crying; and to calm His crying, holding Him in my arms, I began to sing. It so happened that when I would be singing, He would stop crying; when I wouldn’t, He would start crying again. I would rather have kept silent on what I was singing – first, because I don’t remember everything, since I was outside of myself, and one can hardly remember all the things that happen; and also because I believe it is nonsense. But lady obedience, who is too impertinent, does not want to give up, and it is enough that one does what she wants, for her to be content even with nonsense. I don’t know, they say that this Lady Obedience is blind, but to me it seems, rather, that she is all eyes, because she looks at the tiniest things, and when one does not do as she says, she becomes so impertinent as to give you no peace. And so now, to have peace from this beautiful Lady Obedience – because, then, she is so good when one does as she says, that whatever ones wants, through her, one obtains – I will say what I remember of my singing:

 “Little Baby, You are little and strong
from You I expect every comfort;
little Baby, gracious and beautiful,
You enamor even the stars;
little Baby, steal my heart so as to fill it with Your Love;
little Baby, tender little one, make me a little baby too;
little Baby, You are a Paradise,
O please! Let me come to delight in Your Eternal Smile.”

Finding myself in my usual state, I was abandoning myself in the arms of the Most Holy Will of God, and my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, in my Will you will find not only all of the acts that my Humanity did, in which I intertwined all creatures together, but you will also find all the acts that my dear Mama did which, weaving with Mine, formed one single act.

“As soon as I was conceived in Her womb, She began the weaving with My Acts; and since My Humanity had no other Life, no other food, and no other purpose but the Will of My Father alone which, flowing everywhere, made Me act of each creature so as to give to the Father the rights as Creator on the part of creatures, and to give Myself as Life to all creatures, in the same way, as She began Her intertwining with Me, She too gave back to the Father His Rights as Creator in the name of all, and gave Herself to all creatures. Therefore, all creatures received, together with My Acts, the acts of My Mama as Life.

“Now, in Heaven, She embraces all the glory of each creature; My Will gives Her such glory on the part of each creature that there is no glory which She does not contain, and no glory which does not descend from Her. And since She wove Her works, Her love, Her pains, etc. with Me, now in Heaven She is circumfused with as much glory as were the weavings She did in My Will: this is why She surpasses everything, embraces everything and flows in everything. This is what it means to live in My Will. My beloved Mama could have never received so much glory, if all of her acts had not flown in My Will; acts which constitute Her Queen and crown of all.

“Now I want you in My Will, so that the weaving may not be between two, but among three; My Will wants to expand in order to find all creatures together in one creature. Do you see the great good that will come to you; how much glory you will give Me, and how much good you will do to all?”

Finding myself in my usual state, my always adorable Jesus told me: “My daughter, in order for the soul to forget herself, she should do each thing which is necessary for her as if Jesus wanted to do it within her. If she prays, she should say: ‘It is Jesus who wants to pray, and I pray together with Him.’ If she has to work: ‘Jesus wants to work; Jesus wants to walk; Jesus wants to take food. He wants to sleep, He wants to get up, He wants to enjoy Himself...’ and so on for all other things of life - except for error. Only in this way can the soul forget herself; not only will she do everything because I want it, but because I want to do them: they are necessary to Me.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 13, 1933 Volume 32

“… By Living together with My Divine Will she acquires New Life, Divine Ways, Celestial Science, penetration of the most Profound Things.  In sum, as My Fiat is the Teacher of teachers, it is It who Creates the Highest Sciences, and makes things known not veiled, but as they really are.  Therefore, Living together with the creature It does not want to keep her ignorant; It instructs her, It makes her Its Surprises, It recounts to her Its Divine Story, and this Transforms her and renders her capable of receiving Its New Act that My Volition wants to give her.  And in every act that the soul does united with It, she acquires a New Prerogative of Divine Likeness.  By Living together with My Volition the soul becomes refined, embellished, and in Our Creative Hands becomes like suitable canvas in the hands of the painter, that however more beautiful, more fine is the canvas, so much more beautiful becomes the image that He wants to paint on that canvas.  It seems that his brushes and his colors acquire more art, are more skillful, even more because they make the colors come alive over such a very fine canvas.  In fact, because it comes alive, the canvas changes in image and acquires such value as to render itself admired by who knows how many people.  

“Now My Will is more than Divine Painter, and It never tires of giving New Beauty, Sanctity and New Science.  And It remains waiting for an act done together with It in order to enrich it, in order to make Itself known even more, and to make use of Its Divine Brushes in order to elevate her to such Height and Rare Beauty, as to make her be admired by who knows how many generations, in a way that all will call her Beautiful.  And one will feel Happy who has the Good of looking at her, at all the New Acts received by God in virtue of what she has worked in My Volition.  They will extol her, and singing her praises they will make her known as the Most Beautiful Work of My Divine Fiat.  Its wanting to abase Itself to Living with the creature, Its Divine Delirium, is a sign that It wants to do Great, and Worthy of Its Creative Power, things with her.  Therefore Living together with My Fiat is the greatest fortune, and must be the delirium, the vehement passion and ambition of everyone. …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 12, 1916 Volume 11

I was fusing myself in the Most Holy Will, and my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, only by one who lives in My Will do I feel as though repaid for Creation, Redemption and Sanctification, and she glorifies Me in the way in which the creature must glorify Me. Therefore these souls will be the gems of My Throne and will take within themselves all the Contentments and the Glory which each Blessed will have for himself alone. These souls will be as though queens around My Throne, and all the Blessed will be around them; and just as the Blessed will be as many suns that will shine in the Celestial Jerusalem, the souls who have lived in My Will will shine in My own Sun. They will be as though circumfused with My Sun, and these souls will see the Blessed from within Me, because it is right that, having lived on earth united with Me, with My Will, as they lived no life of their own, they have a place distinct from all others in Heaven, and they continue in Heaven the life which they lived on earth – completely transformed in Me and immersed in the sea of My Contentments.”

Finding myself in my usual state, I saw my adorable Jesus with a cross in His hand, all full of white pearls. Giving it to me as gift, He placed it on my breast, and it sank into my heart as inside a room. Then He told me: “My daughter, the Cross is a Treasure, and the safest place in which to keep this valuable Treasure is one’s own soul. Or rather, it is a safe place when the soul is disposed to receive this Treasure with patience, with resignation and with the other virtues, because the virtues are as many keys that secure it, so as not to spoil it or expose it to thieves. But if it does not find especially the gold key of patience, this Treasure will find many thieves, who will steal it and spoil it.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 10, 1904 Volume 6

As I was in my usual state, I found myself wandering around churches, making a pilgrimage to Jesus in the Sacrament together with my Guardian Angel.  In one of the churches I said:  "Prisoner of Love, You are here abandoned and alone, and I have come to keep You company.  And while keeping You company I intend to love You for those who offend You, praise You for those who despise You, thank You for those in whom You pour graces, but do not render You the tribute of thanksgiving; console You for those who afflict You, and repair for any offense against You.  In a word, I intend to do for You all that creatures are obliged to do for You, for having remained in the Most Holy Sacrament.  And I intend to repeat this for as many drops of water, for as many fish and grains of sand as are in the sea.”  While I was saying this, all the waters of the sea became present before my mind, and I said within myself:  “My sight cannot grasp the whole vastness of the sea, nor does it know the depth and the weight of those immense waters, but the Lord knows their number, weight and measure.”  And I stayed there, all marveling.  At that moment blessed Jesus told me:  “Silly, silly that you are – why do you marvel so much?  What is difficult and impossible for the creature, is easy and possible, and also natural, for the Creator.  It happens in this as to someone who, looking at millions and millions of coins in the twinkling of an eye, says to himself:  ‘They are innumerable – who can count them?’  But the one who put them in that place tells everything in one word:  they are this many, they are worth this much, they weigh this much.  My daughter, I know how many drops of water I Myself put in the sea, and no one can disperse even a single one of them.  I numbered everything, I weighed everything, I evaluated everything; and so with all the other things.  So, what is the wonder if I know everything?”  On hearing this, every marvel ceased; or rather, I marveled at my silliness.

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 9, 1923 Volume 16

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Will, and my sweet Jesus, squeezing me to Himself, started to pray with me, and then He told me: “My daughter, the human will has covered with clouds the whole atmosphere, in such a way that thick darkness hangs over all creatures, and almost all of them walk limping and groping. And every action they do without the connection of the Divine Will, intensifies this darkness and man becomes more blind, because the Light, the Sun of the human will, is the Divine Will. Without It, there is not light for the creature.

“Now, one who works, prays, walks, etc., in My Will, rises above this darkness, and as she works, prays, speaks, piercing these thick clouds, she sends flashes of Light over all the earth, such as to shake those who live down at the bottom of their will, preparing their souls to receive the Light, the Sun of the Divine Will. This is why I care so much that you live in My Will – that you may prepare a Heaven of Light which, sending continuous flashes of Light, may dispel this heaven of darkness that the human will has formed over their heads; in such a way that, possessing the Light of My Will, they may love It, and My Will, loved, may Reign upon earth.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 8, 1926 Volume 19

… Jesus kept silent; but then, as though taken by an irresistible emphasis of love, He added:  “Oh, power of My Will, how great You are!  You alone unite the greatest and highest Being with the littlest and lowest being, making them one.  You alone have the virtue of emptying the creature of all that does not belong to You, to be able to form in her, with Your Reflections, that Eternal Sun which, filling Heaven and earth with Its rays, goes to blend with the Sun of the Supreme Majesty.  You alone have this virtue of communicating the Supreme Strength, in such a way that, with Your Strength, the creature can rise to that single act of God the Creator.  Ah, my daughter, when the creature does not live in the Unity of My Will, she loses the One Strength and remains as though disunited from that Strength that fills Heaven and earth and sustains the whole universe as if it were the littlest feather.  Now, when the soul does not let herself be dominated by My Will, she loses the One Strength in all of her actions, therefore all her acts, not coming out of the same single Strength, remain divided among themselves – love is divided, the action separated, the prayer disjointed.  Being divided, all the acts of the creature are poor, meager, without light; and so patience is poor, charity is weak, obedience is crippled, humility is blind, prayer is mute, sacrifice is without life, without vigor, because since My Will is missing, the one Strength is missing which, uniting everything, gives the same Strength to each act of the creature.  Therefore, they are left not only divided among themselves, but adulterated by the human will, and so each one is left with its own defect. …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 7, 1929 Volume 26

[Jesus speaking]

“… Now, when the knowledges about My Fiat will make their way, disposing those who will have the good of knowing them, My more than paternal Goodness, in order to show the excess of My Love, will place My very Humanity, all the good I did, in each creature, at her disposal, in a way that they will feel such Strength and Grace as to let themselves be dominated by My Divine Will.  And My Humanity will be in the midst of the children of My Kingdom, like Heart in their midst, for the decorum and the honor of My Fiat, and as antidote, grace and defense from all the evils that the human will has produced.  The Ardor of My Love that wants It to Reign is such and so great, that I will perform such excesses of Love as to win the most rebellious wills.”

On hearing this, I remained surprised, and as if I wanted to cast a doubt on what Jesus had told me.  And He, resuming His speaking, added:  “My daughter, why do you doubt about it?  Am I perhaps not Master to do what I want and to give Myself as I please to give Myself?  Is My Humanity perhaps not the first firstborn Brother who possessed the Kingdom of My Divine Will?  And, as the first Brother, I have the right to communicate the right to possess It to the other brothers, placing My very Self at their disposal in order to give them a good so great.  

“Am I not the Head of the whole human family, who can make the virtue of the Head flow in their members and make the Vital Act of My Divine Will descend into the members?  And besides, is it perhaps not My Humanity that dwells in you continuously, that gives you such Strength and Grace for wanting to live only of My Will, and makes you feel such peace and happiness, as to eclipse your human will, in a way that it itself feels happy to live as though without life under the empire of My Divine Will?  Therefore, what I need is that they know the knowledges about My Fiat—the rest will come by itself.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 6, 1917 Volume 12

Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus came; and since I was very afflicted because of the continuous threats of worse chastisements and because of His privations, He told me: “My daughter, be cheered, do not lose heart too much. My Will renders the soul happy, even in the midst of the greatest storms. Even more, she rises up so high that the storms cannot touch her, although she sees them and hears them. The place in which she dwells is not subject to storms, but is always serene, and with a smiling sun, because her origin is in Heaven, her nobility is Divine, her Sanctity is in God - and there she is kept by God Himself. Jealous of the sanctity of this soul who lives in My Will, I keep her in My inmost Heart, and I say: ‘Nobody touch her. My Will is intangible, It is sacred, and all must give honor to My Will’.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 5, 1923 Volume 16

… “As you enter into It [the Divine Will] to emit your thoughts, words, works, steps, reparations, pains, love and thankgivings, My Will will coin all your acts. And they will receive the Divine Image, with the value of Divine Acts, which, being infinite, will be able to make up for all, reach all, and have so much ascendancy over the Divinity as to make this Supreme Will descend upon earth, bringing the goods It contains.

“It will happen as to metal, to gold, to silver. Until the image of the king is minted on it, it cannot be given the value of money; but as soon as it is minted, it acquires value as currency and it circulates throughout the whole kingdom. There is no town, village or important place, in which it does not enjoy its prestige as money, and there is no creature who can live without it… Its metal may be vile or precious – it does not matter. As long as the image of the king is impressed on it, it runs through the whole kingdom, enjoys supremacy over all, and makes itself loved and respected by all. In the same way, everything which the soul does in My Will, since the Divine Image is minted on it, runs through Heaven and earth, has supremacy over all, does not refuse to give itself to whomever wants it, and there is no place in which its beneficial effects are not enjoyed.”

Now, while He was saying this, we prayed together, and Jesus let my intelligence enter His Will. Together, we offered to the Supreme Majesty the homage, the Glory, the submission, the adoration of all created intelligences. At the contact with the Supreme Will, a Divine Image was impressed in the homages and adorations, and they diffused over all created intelligences like many speaking messengers, which placed themselves in order in the Creation; all of them, in relation with the Supreme Will. But who can say what one could see and understand?

My most sweet Jesus added: “My daughter, have you seen? Only by entering My Will, all this can happen. Therefore, continue to let your gazes, your words, your heart and all the rest of you, enter into It, and you will see surprising things.” …

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

After going through various days of total privation of my most sweet Jesus, I kept repeating my sorrowful refrain: “Everything is over for me. Ah, I will never see Him again! I will never again hear His voice, which so much delighted me! Ah, I have been abandoned by the One who formed all my contentment and was Everything to me! What a long martyrdom! What a life without life – without Jesus!”

But while my heart was drowned in pains, my sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and taking me in His arms, He placed my arms around His neck, and I abandoned my head upon His breast, in an act which expressed that I could not take it anymore. And Jesus, squeezing me tightly to Himself, leaned His knees on my breast, pressing very intensely, and said to me: “My daughter, you must die continuously.” And while he was saying this, He made me share in various pains. Then, assuming a more affable look, added: “My daughter, what do you fear, if the Power of My Will is in you? It is so true that My Will is in you, that in one instant It transformed you into My Pains, and you offered yourself to receive them with love. While you were suffering, you stretched out your arms to embrace My Will; and as you embraced It, everything that lives in My Will – the Angels, the Saints, My Celestial Mama, and the very Divinity – felt the grip of your embrace, and they all ran toward you to embrace you; and in chorus, they said: ‘How pleasing and dear is the embrace of our little exiled, who lives on earth in order to do the Will of God alone, just as we do it in Heaven! She is our joy; she is the new and only feast which comes to us from the earth.’

“Oh, if you knew what it means for a soul to live in My Will! There is no division between her and Heaven. Wherever My Will is, she is. Her acts, her pains, her words, are in act and operative in every place in which My Will is. And since My Will is everywhere, the soul places herself in the order of creation, and through the electricity of the Supreme Will, she is in communication with all created things. Just as the created things are in order and harmony among themselves, each one is the support of the other, and not one of them can move; and if even one thing created by Me moved – may this never be – the Creation would become all upset; there is a secret accord among them, a mysterious force, such that, while all the spheres live in the space, suspended in the air, without any support, by the power of communication which they have among themselves, each thing sustains the other – in the same way, one who does My Will is in communication with all, and is sustained by all the works of her Creator. Therefore, everyone recognizes her, loves her, and offers her the electricity, the secret, in order to live together with them, suspended between Heaven and earth, all sustained only by the power of the Divine and Supreme Will.” 

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 3, 1916 Volume 11

… Then, this morning, I was praying and lamenting to Jesus for He was not answering me, especially because He does not stop chastising, and I said to Him: “Why pray if You do not want to answer me? On the contrary, You tell me that the evils will get worse.” And He: “My daughter, good is always good. Even more, you must know that each prayer, each reparation, each act of love, any holy thing that the creature does, is one more paradise that she acquires. So, the simplest holy act will be one more paradise; one act less, a paradise less. In fact, every good act comes from God, and therefore in every good act the soul takes God; and since God contains Infinite, Innumerable, Eternal, Immense Joys - so many that the very Blessed will not arrive at enjoying them all throughout all Eternity - it is no wonder, then, that since each good act acquires God, God is almost bound to substitute them with as many contentments. So, if the soul suffers even distractions for love of Me, in Heaven her intelligence will have more light and will enjoy as many more paradises for as many times as she has sacrificed her intelligence; and so much more will she comprehend God. If she suffers coldness for love of Me, so many paradises will she enjoy of the variety of contentments which are present in My Love; if darkness, so many more contentments in My Inaccessible Light; and so with all the rest. This is what one prayer more or one less means.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 2, 1937 Volume 34

I was doing my round in Creation in order to follow the Acts of the Divine Will done in It, and O! how many surprises.  Each one contained such Happiness as to be able to render everything and everyone Happy.  

And my always Lovable Jesus, seeing my surprise, all Goodness told me:  “My daughter, Our Supreme Being possesses the fount of Happiness, therefore no other things or beings could come forth from Us if they were not Happy.  In fact, the whole Creation possesses such Fullness of Happiness, as to be able to give to the whole earth Perfect terrestrial Happiness.  For this reason Adam enjoyed the fullness of Happiness.  All created things rained Joys and Happiness over him.  And then, possessing My Will, in his interior he contained seas of contentments, of Beatitudes and Joys without end.  For him, everything was Happiness inside and out.   As he sinned, removing himself from My Will, the Joy departed from him, and all created things withdrew into their bosom the Joys that they possessed, giving man only the necessary means, not as master, but as ungrateful servant.  See, therefore, unhappiness does not come forth from Us, nor could We give it, because We do not have it.  To give what one does not have is impossible.  Therefore it was sin that cast into man the seed of unhappiness, of sorrow, and of all the evils that encircle him inside and out.  

“So as the Celestial Lady came on earth, and then My Most Holy Humanity, the whole Creation set itself to feast, they smiled with joy and resumed the course by raining over Us Joys and Happiness.  And as We went out into the open, they ran, they bowed, and they unleashed over Us Joys and Happiness.  The sun gave Us the joys of its light, it delighted Our Sight with the variety of its colors, it gave Us the joys of the kisses of Love that it possessed, and reverently it extended itself under Our Steps in order to adore Us.  The wind rained Joys of freshness over Us, and with its puffs it drove away from Us the putrid air of so many sins.  The birds ran around Us in order to give Us the Joys of their trills and songs.  How much beautiful music they made Us, so much that I was constrained to Command them that they would move away from around Me, that they would take flight in the air to sing the praises of their Creator.  

“The earth bloomed for Me under My steps in order to give Me the Joys of so many flowerings, and I Commanded them that they would not make Me such demonstration, and it obeyed Me.  The air brought Me the Joys of Our Omnipotent Breath, when Breathing on man We gave him Life, overwhelming him with Divine Joys and Happiness.  And as I Breathed so I felt come to Me Our Joys and Happiness that We experienced in the Creation of Man.  In fact, there was no created thing that did not want to put forth the Joys that they possessed, not only in order to felicitate Me, but in order to give Me the homages, the honors, as to their Creator.  And I offered them to My Celestial Father in order to give Him the Glory, the Honor, the Homage, the Love, for so many Magnificences and Marvelous Works that We did in the Creation for Love of man.  

“Now, My daughter, these Joys in created things still exist.  Creation, since it was made by Us with so much Splendor and Sumptuousness, and with the Fullness of Happiness, has lost nothing, because We wait for Our children, the Children of Our Will, who with Right will enjoy the Joys, the terrestrial Happiness, that the whole Creation possesses.  And I can say that for Love of these it still exists, and creatures enjoy, if not the Fullness of Happiness, at least the necessary things in order to be able to live.  This existing still of Creation after so many human ingratitudes, sins that are horrifying, says the certainty of the Kingdom of My Will on earth because the creature, possessing It, will become capable of receiving the Joys of Creation, of giving Us the Glory, the Love, the reciprocation for how much We have done for her—and of doing all the possible and imaginable good that the creature can do.  …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 1, 1923 Volume 16

"… Oh Jesus, come, give me Your Hand, let me enter into Your Holy Will, that I may fill the whole atmosphere, the blue Heaven, the Light of the Sun, the air, the sea, everything – everything, with my 'I love You,’ with my kisses; so that, everywhere You may be, if You look, You may look at my ‘I Love You’ and at my kisses; if you hear, You may hear my ‘I love You’ and the smacking of my kisses; if You speak and breathe, You may breathe my ‘I love You’ and my anguishing kisses. If You work, may my ‘I love You’s’ flow in Your Hands; if you walk and tread the ground, may my ‘I love You' and the roaring of my kisses be under Your Steps… May my 'I love You’ be the chain that draws You to me, and may my kisses be the powerful magnet that, whether You want it or not, force You to visit the one who cannot live without You.”

But who can say all my nonsense?

Now, while I was thinking of this, my adorable Jesus came, all goodness, and showing me His opened Heart, told me: “My daughter, place your head upon My Heart and rest, for you are very tired. Then, we will wander around together in order to show you My “I love you’s”, spread over the whole of Creation for you.”

So I hugged Him, placing my head on His Heart to rest, as I felt extreme need of it. After a while, as I was still outside of myself, but always clinging to His Heart, He added: “My daughter, I want you, who are the Firstborn Daughter of my Supreme Will, to know how the whole Creation, on the wings of My Eternal Volition, brings My “I love you” to the creatures; and the creatures, on the same wings of My Will, making It their own, should give Me their “I love You” in return.

"Look at the blue Heaven: there is not one point in it without the seal of My “I love you” for the creature. Every star and the glittering that forms its crown, is studded with My “I love you’s.” Each ray of the sun, stretching toward the earth to bring Light, and every drop of Light, carry My “I love you”. And since the Light invades the earth, and man sees it, and walks over it, My “I love you” reaches him in his eyes, in his mouth, in his hands, and lays itself under his feet. The murmuring of the sea murmurs, “I love you, I love you, I love you”, and the drops of water are as many keys that, murmuring among themselves, form the most beautiful harmonies of My infinite “I love you.” The plants, the leaves, the flowers, the fruits, have My “I Love you” impressed in them. The whole of Creation brings to man My repeated “I love you’s.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 31, 1906 Volume 7

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for a little, and embracing me wholly, He told me: “My daughter, simplicity is to virtues as condiment to foods. For a simple soul there are neither keys nor doors to enter into Me, nor are there for Me to enter into her, because from all sides she can enter into Me, and I into her. Even more, to better say it, she finds herself in Me without entering because, by her simplicity, she comes to resemble Me, Who Am most Simple Spirit, and only because I Am most simple I am present everywhere and nothing can escape my hand. A simple soul is like the light of the Sun – in spite of any fog, or of the fact that its rays pass through whatever rubbish, it remains always light, it gives light to all, and it never changes. In the same way, a simple soul, no matter what mortification or displeasure she may receive, does not cease to be light for herself and for those who have mortified her. And if she sees evil things, she does not become stained, but remains always light; nor does she change, because simplicity is that virtue which most resembles the Divine Being. Only through this virtue can one participate in the other Divine Qualities, and only in the soul who is simple are there no impediments or obstacles for Divine Grace to enter and to operate. In fact, since both one and the other are light, one light easily unites and transforms into the other.”

But who can say what I comprehended about this simplicity? I feel as though a sea is in my mind, and I am able to manifest but a few little drops of this sea, and those disconnected among themselves.

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 30, 1923 Volume 16

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Will, and my sweet Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, every time the soul enters My Will to pray, to work and to do other things, she receives as many Divine Colors, one more beautiful than the other. Don’t you see how much variety of colors and of beauty nature contains? These are the shadows of the variety of colors and beauty which My Divinity contains. But how do plants and flowers acquire such variety of colors? To whom did I give the office to color so many different plants with so many different colors? To the Sun. Its light and its heat contain fecundity and variety of colors, such as to embellish the whole earth. And if only the plants exposes itself to the kisses of its Light, to its embraces and to its heat, the flower blooms, and as though returning to It the kiss and the embrace, it receives the shades of the colors and forms its beautiful complexion.

“Now, the soul who enters into My Will symbolizes the flower which exposes itself to receive the kiss and the embrace of the sun, to receive the different colors which the sun contains. And by returning them, she receives the different colors of Divine Nature. She is really the celestial flower which the Eternal Sun, by the breath of Its Light, has colored so well as to perfume Heaven and earth, and delight with its beauty the very Divinity and the whole Celestial Court. The rays of My Will empty her of what is human and fill her with what is Divine. And so one can see in her the beautiful rainbow of My Attributes.

“Therefore, My daughter, enter often into My Will, in order to receive the tones and the different colors of the likeness to your Creator.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 29, 1904 Volume 6

Continuing in my usual state, as soon as I saw my adorable Jesus, I said to Him:  ‘My Lord and my God.’  And He continued:  “God, God, God alone.  Daughter, faith makes one know God, but trust makes one find Him.  So, without trust, faith is sterile, and even though faith possesses immense riches with which the soul can enrich herself, if there is no trust she remains always poor and lacking in everything.”  While He was saying this, I felt myself being drawn into God, and I remained absorbed in Him like a little drop of water in the immense sea.  As much as I looked, I could find no boundaries, either of height or of breadth; Heaven and earth, blessed and pilgrim souls, all were immersed in God.  …
