I felt all immersed in the Supreme Fiat, and repeating my round in It, as I united myself to Its acts, so I felt Its waves of love coming to me, which, pouring upon me, brought me the love of my Creator. Oh! how happy I felt in feeling loved by God. I believe that there is no greater happiness, either in Heaven or on earth, than for the creature to occupy a place in the bosom of the Celestial Father, who makes His waves of love arise, to love her.
But while I felt I was under these waves, my sweet Jesus, visiting my little soul, all goodness told me: “My blessed daughter, going around in Our acts, which We did both in Creation and in Redemption for love of creatures, makes new love arise from within Our Divine Being, and invests the one who unites with Our divine acts. By uniting herself with Our works, she prepares the little place in which to receive Our waves of love; and as she receives them, she too loves Us with new love and forms her waves of love for her Creator, in such a way that she holds her little place of love in Our Divine Being, and We hold Our place in the creature. You must know that true sanctity is formed by the degrees of love with which you are loved by God; and it is then that this love takes possession—when the creature loves. When she receives His divine love and she loves, God disposes Himself to love her more with new love. To be loved by God with new love is the greatest act that God does toward the creature, and all the sanctity, the glory, is constituted for as many times as she has been loved by God, and for as many times as she has loved Him. In fact, you must know that Our Supreme Being loves all and always in a universal and general way; to this He adds a special and direct love toward the one who, as We love her, gives Us her love. So, if the creature has been loved by God with special love once, three times, ten or a hundred times, according to that number so many degrees of sanctity, and therefore of glory, does she acquire. See, then, going around in Our Will, uniting yourself to Its acts, calls Us to love you with special and new love, and God calls you in order to be loved with your new and special love. And God Himself will be your witness who will say to al—to Heaven and to the earth: ‘It is true—I have loved her, but she has loved Me. I can say that My love called hers and hers called Mine to love each other.’ Therefore, one who lives in Our Will secures Our love, nor do We have the sorrow that it might be rejected; on the contrary, as the sign that she has received it, she responds by giving Us her love.”
