Divine Will for every day of the year - April 24, 1927 Volume 21

I was feeling embittered because of the privation of my sweet Jesus, and while I was longing for His return, He came out from within my interior, but so afflicted as to arouse pity; and I said to Him:  “But, tell me, what’s wrong that You are so afflicted?”  

And Jesus:  “Ah! my daughter, grave things are to happen.  In order to reorder a kingdom, a house, a general uproar happens first, and many things perish—some lose, others gain.  In sum, there is chaos, a greater struggling, and many things are suffered in order to reorder, renew and give a new shape to the kingdom, or the house.  There is more suffering and more work to do if one must destroy in order to rebuild, than if one only had to build.  

“The same will happen in order to rebuild the Kingdom of My Will.  How many innovations need to be made.  It is necessary to turn everything upside down, to knock down and destroy human beings, to upset the earth, the sea, the air, the wind, the water, the fire, so that all may put themselves at work in order to renew the face of the earth, so as to bring the order of the new Kingdom of My Divine Will into the midst of creatures.  Therefore, many grave things will happen, and in seeing this, if I look at the chaos, I feel afflicted; but if I look beyond, in seeing the order and My new Kingdom rebuilt, I go from a deep sadness to a Joy so great that you cannot comprehend.  This is the reason why you see Me now sad and now with the Joy of My Celestial Fatherland.”

I felt sad because of this uproar that Jesus had talked to me about; those grave things were terrifying—I could hear tumults, revolutions and wars in several places.  Oh! how my poor heart moaned.  

And Jesus, to cheer me, took me in His arms, pressed me tightly to His most holy Heart, and told me:  “My daughter, let us look beyond, that we may be cheered.  I want to make things return as in the beginning of Creation, that was nothing other than an outpouring of Love; and it still lasts, because whatever We do once, We do always—it is never interrupted.  No tiredness of repeating an act ever enters into Us—whatever We do once, We like to do always.  This is the Divine Operating—to do an act that lasts for centuries upon centuries, and even for all eternity.  

“So, Our Outpouring of Love, Our Breath, is unleashed continuously from Our Divine Womb, and it runs to breathe over the generations of creatures.  So, hovering within all Creation, Our Outpouring of Love invests heavens and earth, sun and sea, wind and water, and it runs toward creatures.  If it were not so, the heavens would shrink, the stars would be scattered, the sun would become poor in light, the water would be lacking, the earth would produce neither plants nor fruits, because, since the life of Our Love hovering within all things would be missing, these would withdraw into Our source from which they came.  And if Our breath were to be missing, the generation of creatures would end, because they are nothing other than sparks that Our Breath sends out in order to fecundate the growing generation. …”
