I was thinking of when my sweet Jesus was presented to Herod, and I said to myself: “How is it possible that Jesus, who is so good, did not deign to say a word to him, or to give him a glance? Who knows whether that perfidious heart would have converted at the power of His gaze?” And Jesus, making Himself seen, told me: “My daughter, his perversity and the lack of interior disposition were such that he did not deserve that I look at him or say a word to him. And if I had done it, he would have rendered himself more guilty, because each word or gaze of Mine are additional bonds that are formed between Me and the creature. Each word is a greater union, one more closeness; and as the soul feels looked upon, grace begins its crafting. If the gaze or the word was sweet and benign, she says: ‘How beautiful, penetrating, gentle, melodious it was! How not to love Him?’ If then it was a majestic gaze or word, blazing with light, she says: ‘What majesty, what greatness, what penetrating light! How small I feel; how miserable I am; how much darkness in me before that light so blazing!’ If I wanted to tell you of the power, the grace, the good which My word or gaze brings, how many books would I make you write!”

After this, having followed my round in the Divine Fiat, I was gathering all created things, in which all the acts of the Divine Fiat are present, dominating; and I, gathering everything together—the heavens, the sun, the sea and all Creation—brought everything together before the Supreme Majesty, to surround It with all of Its works, and have the acts of Its very Will ask for the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat upon earth. But while I was doing this, my lovable Jesus moved in my interior, and told me: “My daughter, hear how all of Heaven echoes your petition, and the Angels, the Saints, the Sovereign Queen repeat among themselves: ‘Fiat! Fiat! Voluntas Tua, on earth as It is in Heaven’. Because it is petition of Heaven—it is the Kingdom which interests everyone—they all feel the duty to ask for what you want; they feel within themselves the same strength of the power of My same Divine Will by which all of them are animated. And they repeat: ‘May the Will of Heaven be one with the earth.’ Oh! how beautiful it is—how harmoniously it resounds when an echo from the earth invests all of Heaven and forms one single echo, one single Will, one single petition. And all the Blessed say among themselves, taken by admiration: ‘Who is she who is carrying the whole cortege of the divine works before the Divinity, and with the power of the Divine Fiat which she possesses, she overwhelms us all, and makes us ask for a Kingdom so holy? No one has had this power, no one until now has asked for the Kingdom of the Fiat with such power and empire. At the most, some have asked for the glory of God, some for the salvation of souls, some for the reparation of many offenses—all things which refer to the external works of God. But asking for the Kingdom of the Divine Will is about His internal works, the most intimate acts of God, and the destruction of sin. It is not just salvation, but divine sanctity in the creatures; it is liberation from all evils, spiritual and corporal; it is transporting the earth to Heaven so as to make Heaven descend upon earth.’ Therefore, asking for the Kingdom of My Divine Will is the greatest, the most perfect, the holiest thing; and this is why, reverently, all answer your echo, and in the Celestial Fatherland resounds the beautiful harmony: ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven’.”

My adorable Jesus continues to make Himself seen. This morning, having received Communion, I saw Him in my interior, as well as our two hearts so identified with each other as to appear as one. My most sweet Jesus told me: “Today I have decided to give you back, not your heart, but Myself in its place.” At that moment I saw Jesus placing Himself in that point where the heart is, and from within Jesus I received the respiration and I felt the beating of His Heart. How happy I felt, living in this position!

After this, He added: “Since I Myself have taken the place of the heart, it is appropriate for you to have food always ready to nourish Me. This food will be My Will, and everything through which you will mortify yourself and of which you will deprive yourself for love of Me.” But who can say all that passed between me and Jesus in my interior? I believe it is better to keep silent, otherwise I feel as if I would ruin it, since my tongue is not well refined to be able to speak of graces so great which the Lord has given to my soul. There is nothing left for me but to thank the Lord who has looked upon a soul so miserable and sinful.

From the Calendar--November 21, 1926 Volume 20

After this, I abandoned all of myself in the Supreme Volition, and my sweet Jesus, resuming His speaking, told me: “My daughter, one who lives in My Will has primacy over everything and over all the acts of creatures; she has her act as first in love before her Creator. So, if the other creatures love, the soul who lives in My Will is first in loving; the others come, some second, some third, some fourth, according to the intensity of their love. If the other creatures adore Me, glorify Me, pray Me, the soul who lives in My Will is first in adoring Me, in glorifying Me, in praying Me. And this is natural, because My Will is life and prime act of all creatures, therefore one who lives in It finds herself in Its prime act and she is first before God, above all creatures, in doing all of their acts and in doing all the acts which they do not do. So, the Sovereign Queen of Heaven, who never gave life to Her own will, but had Her life fully in My Will, holds as though the right of primacy. Therefore, She is first in loving Us, in glorifying Us, in praying Us. If We see that the other creatures love Us, it is behind the love of the Celestial Queen; if they glorify Us and pray Us, it is behind the glory and the prayers of She who holds primacy and therefore empire over everything. How beautiful it is to see that, as creatures love Us, She never gives up Her first place in love. Even more, She places Herself as prime act, She makes Her sea of love flow around the Majesty, in such a way that the other creatures remain behind the sea of love of the Celestial Mama, with their little drops of love; and so with all the other acts. Ah! My daughter, to live in My Will is one word, but it is a word that weighs as much as eternity—it is a word that embraces everything and everyone.”

From the Calendar--November 20, 1914 Volume 11

Now I go back to say that, as I was very afflicted, on coming, Jesus took me in His arms to cheer me, and told me: “My daughter, be cheered. One who does My Will is never apart from Me; rather, she is together with Me in the works that I do, in My desires, in My love—she is together with Me in everything and everywhere. Even more, I can say that since I want everything for Myself —affections, desires, etc. of all creatures—but I do not have them, I remain around the creatures with the attitude of making a conquest. Now, as I find the satisfaction of My desires in one who does My Will, My desire rests in her, My love takes rest in her love, and so with all the rest.” Then He added: “I have given you two very great things which, one can say, formed My very life. My life was enclosed in these two points: Divine Will and love; and this Will carried out My life in Me, and accomplished My Passion. I want nothing else from you but that My Will be your life, your rule, and that in not one thing, whether small or big, you escape from It. This Will will carry out My Passion in you; and the closer you remain to My Will, the more you will feel My Passion within you. If you let My Will flow as life within you, My Will will make My Passion flow within you. So, you will feel It flowing in each one of your thoughts, in your mouth—you will feel your tongue soaked in It, and your word will come out warm with My Blood, and you will speak eloquently about My pains. Your heart will be filled with My pains, and in each of its outpourings, it will bring the mark of My Passion to your whole being; and I will keep repeating to you, always: ‘Here is My life, here is My life.’ I will delight in giving you surprises, narrating to you now one pain, now another, which you have not yet heard or understood. Aren’t you happy?”

From the Calendar--November 19, 1921 Volume 13

Then, afterwards, I was thinking about what Jesus had been telling me, and I said to myself: “How can it be put into practice?” And Jesus, returning, added: “My daughter, in order to know the truths, it is necessary to have the will, the desire, to know them. Imagine a room in which the shutters are closed: as much sunlight as there might be outside, the room remains always in the dark. Now, opening the shutters means wanting the light. But this is not enough, if one does not take advantage of the light to reorder the room, dust it, get down to work, almost so as not to kill the light that one is given, and render oneself ungrateful. In the same way, it is not enough to have the will to know the truths, if in the light of the truth that illuminates him one does not try to dust himself of his weaknesses, and reorder himself according to the light of the truth he knows, and, together with the light of the truth, get down to work, making of it his own substance, in such a way that the light of the truth which he has absorbed may shine forth from his mouth, from his hands, from his bearing. It would then be as if he killed the truth; and by not putting it into practice, it would be like remaining in total disorder before the light. Poor room, full of light, but all messy, upside down, and in total disorder, and someone in it who does not bother reordering it—what pity would it not arouse? Such is one who knows the truths and does not put them into practice.

“Know, however, that in all the truths simplicity enters as the first nourishment. If the truths were not simple, they would not be light, and would not be able to penetrate into the human minds in order to illuminate them; and where there is no light, objects cannot be distinguished. Simplicity is not only light, but is like the air that one breathes which, while it cannot be seen, gives the respiration to everything; and if it wasn’t for the air, the earth and everyone would remain without motion. So, if the virtues, the truths, do not carry the mark of simplicity, they will be without light and without air.”

From the Calendar--November 18, 1907 Volume 8

As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little, and as soon as I saw Him, I said: “My sweet life, how bad I have become—I feel I am reduced to nothing. I no longer feel anything in me, everything is empty; I just feel an enchantment in my interior, and in this enchantment I wait for You, so that You may fill me. But in vain do I wait for this filling; on the contrary, I feel I always return to nothing.” And Jesus: “Ah, My daughter! And you afflict yourself for you feel reduced to nothing? Rather, I say to you: the more the creature is reduced to nothing, the more she is filled with the All. And if she left even one shadow of herself, that shadow would prevent Me from giving all of Myself, completely, to the soul. Your constant returning to nothing means that you are dissolving your human being to reacquire the Divine.”

From the Calendar--November 17, 1904 Volume 6

Having received Communion, I was thinking about the benignity of Our Lord in giving Himself as food to such a poor creature as I am, and about how I could correspond to such a great favor. While I was thinking of this, blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter, just as I make Myself food for the creature, so can the creature make herself My food, converting all of her interior into nourishment for Me, in such a way that her thoughts, affections, desires, inclinations, heartbeats, sighs, love—everything, everything should tend toward Me. And I, on seeing the true fruit of My food, which is to divinize the soul and convert everything within Myself, would come to nourish Myself with the soul—that is, with her thoughts, with her love, and with all the rest. In this way, the soul could say to Me: ‘Just as You have reached the point of making Yourself my food and of giving me everything, I too have made myself Your food; there is nothing left to give You, because everything I am is all Yours.’”

In the meantime I understood the enormous ingratitude of creatures, because while Jesus deigns to reach such excess of love as to make Himself our food, we then, deny Him His food and cause Him to remain on an empty stomach.

From the Calendar--November 16, 1922 Volume 14

As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus, on coming, drew me all into His Most Holy Will; and I, as though having the whole work of Creation under my eyes, followed everything that my sweet Jesus had done for the creatures. Then, after we followed it together, He told me: “My daughter, My Will acts in different ways—now It operates, and now It preserves what It has operated. In Creation I operated and I ordered everything, and after I did everything, My Will has been the preserver of everything. From that time onward, It has done nothing new in the order of all Creation. Then, again, My Will entered the field to operate, in descending from Heaven to earth in order to redeem man; and My work was not for a little while as in Creation, but it lasted as long as thirty-three years; and again I returned to preserve everything I operated in Redemption. So, just as a sun exists by virtue of My preserving Will for the good of all and of each one, so are the goods of Redemption in act for all and for each one.

“Now My Will wants to go back to work; and do you know what It wants to do? It wants to operate in the creature that which My Will operated in My Humanity. This will be an extremely long work of mine, more than Redemption. And just as, in order to operate Redemption, I formed a Mother for Myself, in whom I conceived My Humanity, so now I have chosen you in order to operate what My Will operated in My Humanity. See then, My daughter, this is about works—and works of My Supreme Volition. You will be like the space that offered itself to let Me create and place in order the sun, the stars, the moon, the air, and all the beauty that exists in the vault of the heavens, and all the good that descends from Heaven. You will be like My Humanity, which in nothing opposed what My Will wanted to operate, and I will enclose in you what the Supreme Volition did in Me, so as to have its repetition.”

From the Calendar--November 15, 1923 Volume 16

[Luisa speaking] “And why, when You came upon earth, did You not do both things Yourself—that is, the Redemption and the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as it is in Heaven? You had strong and long arms to be able embrace Your endless Will. See, see, O Jesus, mine are weak and short—how can I do that?” And He, again: “Poor little child, you are right. My speaking confounds you, the light of My Will eclipses you and renders you the true newborn of the Supreme Will. Come into My arms, I will swaddle you with the swaddling clothes of My own Will, that It may strengthen your members with Its strength; in this way it will be easy for you to clasp in your little arms that Eternal Will which, with so much love, wants to come and reign within you.”

So I flung myself into His arms, to let Jesus do to me whatever He wanted. Then, again, He added: “I could very well have done both things Myself when I came upon earth, but the creature is not capable of receiving the work of her Creator all at once, and I Myself delight in giving always new surprises of love. And besides, the creature had profaned her taste with her own will; she had caused the breath of her soul to stink with so many ugly things as to be disgusting to Me. She had reached the point of having a taste for the most revolting things, to the point of letting a rotten fluid flow over the three powers of her soul, such that her nobility could no longer be recognized. Therefore, first I had to take care of all this with My Redemption, giving her all the remedies, giving all these evils the bath of My Blood in order to wash them. Had I wanted to do both things, since man was so dirty, blind and deaf, rendered so by his human will, he would not have had the eyes of the intelligence to comprehend My Will, nor the ears to listen to It, nor the heart to receive It. And My Will, not being understood and finding no place in which to dwell, would have turned back to Heaven again. Therefore, it was necessary that man comprehend the goods of Redemption first, so as to dispose himself to comprehend the good of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as it is in Heaven. The same would have happened with you also, if at the beginning, when I began to speak to you, I had spoken to you about My Will: you would not have understood. I would have behaved like a teacher who, instead of teaching the first letters of the alphabet to his disciple, wanted to teach him sciences and foreign languages. Poor boy, he would get confused and would learn nothing. Instead, I wanted to speak to you of suffering, of the virtues—things which are more accessible and more tangible for human nature, and which can be called the alphabet of the Christian life, the language of the exile and of those who aspire to the Celestial Fatherland. On the other hand, My Will is the language of Heaven, and It begins there where all other sciences and virtues end. My Will is Queen which dominates everything and crowns everyone, in such a way that before the Sanctity of My Will all other virtues shrink and tremble. This is why I wanted to act as your teacher of the alphabet first—to dispose your intelligence, to then move on to act as your celestial and divine teacher, who only knows about the language of the Fatherland and of the highest science which My Will contains. First I had to remove from you the taste for anything, because the human will has this poison: it makes one lose taste for the Divine Will. In all created things, since they had come out of Me, I had placed a divine taste; but by doing her will, even in holy things, the soul does not find this taste. So, in order to let you enjoy the taste of My Will alone, I am attentive not to let you taste anything else, that I may dispose you to receive more sublime lessons about My Will. If this was necessary for you, more so for the whole Church, to which I had to make known the minor things first, and then the greatest of all, which is My Will.”

From the Calendar--November 14, 1906 Volume 7

Oh, how I struggled and suffered because of His privation! Then, after a long time, He made Himself seen, just in passing, and told me: “My daughter, if perfect resignation is the certain and sure sign of predestination, the cross expands the boundaries of the Kingdom of Heaven.” And He disappeared like a flash.

From the Calendar--November 13, 1932 Volume 31

I was feeling all sunken in my nothingness, and feeling without my most sweet Jesus, I felt my nothingness emptied of its life, without support and without strength; and since I had received Holy Communion, I felt that I had nothing to offer to Jesus, and I felt oppressed and embittered. And He, compassionating me, told me: “My daughter, courage, your nothingness with your Jesus is everything, and you can give Me everything. In fact, you must know that when you receive Me in the Sacrament I do not descend alone, but I descend with all My works, and just as I make you the owner of My Sacramental Life, so do I make you the owner of all My works. Therefore, if you want, you have much to give Me, because you have My works in your power; more so, since My Sacramental Life which you receive in the Holy Host is surrounded by the acts that My Humanity did for Me when I received Myself in instituting the Most Holy Sacrament; It is surrounded by the acts that My Celestial Mama did for Me when She received Me in the Sacrament; It is surrounded by all the acts of those who live of My Will—because these acts are inseparable from Me, and remain incorporated with Me as part of My own Life. So, you can give Me everything, because they serve to cover your misery, to make up for your love, almost so as not to make you feel ashamed that, as I come into you, you would have nothing to give Me. Even more, as you make use of them in order to give them to Me and be able to please Me and love Me by means of these acts, they bilocate and become your acts and My acts, acts of the Sovereign Queen, and acts of the souls who live of My Will, in such a way that, instead of having one, I have two, and My Sacramental Life remains surrounded by double acts, by double love, by greater glory. These are My traffics that I do when I communicate Myself to souls: I give of My own in order to get twice as much from them, and so I industriate Myself to put into traffic My very Sacramental Life, so as to receive the requital of It. But, alas! how many do not make use of It, and they remain as having nothing, nor do they know what to give Me; and I remain without a new cortege, starved of their acts, and with the sorrow of not even being able to industriate Myself in My loving traffics. You will not do this to Me, because if I come, it is not just to come, but also because I want to give Myself and receive as much as the creature can give. This forms My satisfaction, mM contentment and My paradise in the Most Holy Sacrament. To give Myself and receive nothing from them forms My purgatory in My little prison of the Sacramental Host—a purgatory that human ingratitude forms for Me. Therefore, be attentive, and with courage, and without any reservation, give Me from My own, and all of yourself to Me, that I may be able to say: ‘I gave everything to her, and she gave everything to Me.’ In this way you will form My contentment and My traffic of love”

From the Calendar--November 12, 1921 Volume 13

Then, after this, I was thinking to myself: “In this Holy Will one does see miracles, portentous things, for which creatures are so greedy, and would go around half the world in order to have some. On the contrary, everything passes between the soul and God; and if creatures receive, they do not know where the good has come from. Truly, It is like the sun, which is such that, while it gives life and heat to everything, nobody points at it.” Now, as I was thinking of this, my Jesus, coming back, added, but with an imposing appearance: “What miracles, what miracles! Isn’t perhaps doing My Will the greatest miracle? My Will is eternal, and is eternal miracle that never ends. For the human will to have a continuous connection with the Divine Will—this is miracle of each instant. Raising the dead, giving sight to the blind, and the like, are not eternal things—they are subject to perishing; therefore they can be called shadows of miracles, fleeting miracles, compared to the great and permanent miracle of living in My Will. You—pay no attention to those miracles; I know when they are appropriate and when they are needed.”

From the Calendar--November 11, 1922 Volume 14

[Jesus speaking] “Therefore I tell you, true daughter of My Volition, first happy birth from My Will—be attentive and faithful to Me. Come into My Eternal Volition—My acts await you, wanting the seal of yours; those of My Mama await you; the whole of Heaven awaits you, wanting to see all of their acts glorified in My Will by a creature of their own stock; the present and future generations await you, to be given back the lost happiness. Ah! no, no, the generations will not end until man returns into My womb, beautiful, dominating, just as he came out of My creative hands. I am not content with having redeemed him; even at the cost of waiting, I will still have patience, but he must return to Me as I made him, by virtue of My Will. By doing his own will, he descended into the abyss and transformed himself into a brute; by doing My Will, he will ascend and acquire the new transformation into the nature created by Me. Then will I be able to say: ‘I have accomplished everything; the order of the whole Creation has returned to Me, and I will rest in It.’”

From the Calendar--November 10, 1926 Volume 20

[Jesus speaking] “Now, you must know the great good which you enclose by enclosing within yourself all that My Will does in the Creation. While you follow Its acts, you receive the reflection of the heavens, and the heavens are formed and extended in you; you receive the reflection of the sun, and the sun is formed in you; you receive the reflection of the sea, and the sea is formed in you. You receive the reflection of the wind, of the flower, of all nature—in sum, of everything; and, oh! how the heavens that protect, the sun that illuminates, warms and fecundates, the sea that inundates and forms its waves of love, of mercy, of grace and of strength for the good of all, the wind that purifies and brings rain over the souls burned by passions, the flower of the perpetual adoration to your Creator, arise from the depth of your soul. This is why it is the prodigy of prodigies; the living in My Will is the true triumph of the Supreme Fiat—because the soul becomes the reflector of her Creator and of all Our works….”

From the Calendar--November 9, 1925 Volume 18

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition according to my usual way, to then do my adoration to my crucified Good; and since, more than once, while doing my acts in the Supreme Volition, I had been caught by sleep—which would never happen before—I had not completed the first thing, nor done the adoration. So I said to myself: “First I will do the adoration to the crucifix, and then, if I am not caught by sleep, I will fuse myself in the Divine Volition to do my usual acts.”

But while I was thinking this, my sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and placing His face close to mine, told me: “My daughter, I want you to fuse yourself in My Will first, coming before the Supreme Majesty to reorder all human wills in the Will of their Creator, to repair with My own Will for all the acts of the wills of creatures opposed to Mine. Will came out of Us in order to divinize the creature, and Will do We want. And when this Will is rejected by them, to do their own will, it is the most direct offense to the Creator—it is to deny all the goods of Creation and to move away from His likeness. And do you think it is trivial that, fusing yourself in My Will, you place the whole of this Will of Mine as though on your lap, which, though it is one, brings Its divinizing act to each creature; and reuniting all these acts of My Will together, you bring them before the Supreme Majesty, to requite them with your will together with Mine, with your love, redoing all the acts opposite those of creatures, and you press this same My Will of Mine to surprise the creatures once again with more repeated acts, that they may know It, receive It within themselves as prime act, love It, and fulfill this Holy Will in everything? The adoration of My wounds—more than one does it for Me; but giving Me back the rights of My Will, as the prime act which I did toward man—this, no one does for Me. Therefore, it is your duty to do it, as you have a special mission about My Will. And if sleep catches you while you are doing it, our Celestial Father will look at you with love, in seeing you sleep in His arms—seeing His little daughter, who, even while sleeping, holds on her little lap all the acts of His Will, to repair them, requite them in love, and give to each act of Our Will the honor, the sovereignty, and the right that befits It. Therefore, first fulfill your duty, and then, if you can, you will also do the adoration of My wounds.”

May Jesus be always thanked. Last night, by His goodness, I did both one and the other.

From the Calendar--November 8, 1921 Volume 13

And my Jesus told me: “Do you see what it means to live in My Will? To multiply My Life as many times as one wants; to repeat all the good which My Life contains.”

After this, I was saying to my Jesus: “My Life, I enter into Your Will to be able to extend myself in everyone and to everything—from the first to the last thought, from the first to the last word, from the first to the last action and step that were done, are done, and will be done. I want to seal everything with Your Will, so that You may receive from everything the glory of Your sanctity, of Your love, of Your power; and all that is human may remain covered, hidden, marked by Your Volition, so that nothing—nothing human may remain, in which You do not receive divine glory.”

Now, while I was doing this and other things, my sweet Jesus came all festive, accompanied by innumerable Blessed, and said: “All of Creation says to Me: ‘My glory, My glory!’”

And all the Saints responded: “Behold, O Lord, we give You divine glory for everything!” An echo could be heard from all sides, saying: “For everything we give You love and glory!”

From the Calendar--November 7, 1937 Volume 35

My sweet Jesus, surprising me with His little visit, all goodness and tenderness told me: “My daughter, I too feel the love-need of making you see the order that these truths will have and the good they will produce.

“These truths on My Divine Will will form the day of My FIAT in the midst of the creatures. According to their knowledge, this day will be rising. So, as they begin to know the first truths which I have manifested to you, a most splendid dawn will arise—provided that they will have good will and the disposition to make their own life of these truths. However, these truths will also have the virtue of disposing the creatures, and of giving the light to many blind who don’t know My Will or love It.

“Then, once the dawn is risen, they will feel invested by a celestial peace, and more strengthened in the good. They, themselves, will yearn to know more truths, which will form the beginning of the day of My Divine Will. This beginning of the day will increase the Light and the Love; all things will turn into good for the creatures; passions will lose the power to make them fall into sin. One can say that they will feel the first order of the divine good, which will facilitate their actions for them. They will feel a strength with which they can do everything, since its primary virtue is exactly this: to inject in the soul a transformation of her nature in good. So, feeling the great good of the beginning of the day, they will long for the day to advance. They will then know more truths which will form the full daylight.

“In this full daylight they will vividly feel the Life of My Will within themselves—Its joy and happiness, Its operative and creative virtue within them. They will feel the possession of My very Life, becoming the bearers of My Divine Will. The full daylight will provoke in them so much yearning to know more truths that, once known, they will form the full midday. In this, the creature will no longer feel alone: between her and My Will there will be no more separation. What My Will will do, she will do as well—operating together. All will be her own by right - Heaven, earth, and God Himself.

“Do you see then, how noble, divine and precious will be the scope of these truths which I made you write on My Divine Will in order to form the day of the creature? For some they will form the dawn; for some the beginning of the day; for some others the full daylight and, lastly, the full midday. These truths will form, according to their knowledge, the different categories of the souls who will live in My Will. One knowledge more, or one less, will make then rise or stay in the different categories. Knowledge will be the hand to boost them up to the higher categories - it will be the very life of the fullness of My Will within them. Therefore, I can say that with these truths I formed the day for whoever wants to live in My Divine Will - a day of Heaven, greater than Creation itself; not of sun or stars, because each truth has the virtue of creating our Life in the creature. Oh, how this surpasses the whole of Creation!”

From the Calendar--November 6, 1932 Volume 31

After this, I was thinking of what is written at the beginning of this chapter – that is, that one who operates in the Divine Will operates in eternity, one who operates outside of It operates in time. And I thought to myself: “And why this great difference?”

And my Highest Love, Jesus, added: “My daughter, it is easy to comprehend it. Suppose you were given a metal of gold, with which, by working it, you would form many beautiful objects of gold. But if instead of gold you were given a metal of copper, of iron, you would not be able to change the copper and the iron into gold metal, therefore you would make objects of copper or of iron. Now, compare the objects of iron with those of gold: what is the difference in their value? Yet, it took you the same amount of time to work them, you made similar objects, but because of the difference in the metal, those of gold surpass in a surprising way, in value, in beauty, in fineness, those of iron. Now, for one who operates, even what is good, with his human will, since he finds himself in time to cross his way, it can be said that everything he does are temporary works, subject to a thousand miseries. They will always be human works of minimum value, because they lack the golden thread of light of My Will. On the other hand, one who operates in It will have the golden thread in his power; not only this, but he will have his Creator operating in his act; he will have, not time, but eternity in his power. Therefore, because of the mere difference between Divine Will and human will, there is no comparison that can stand between one and the other. The living in My Will is precisely this: My Will holds the prime and operating act in the creature. It acts like a teacher who wants the essay he has assigned to his pupil to be developed. He himself gives him the paper, puts the pen in his hand, places his own hand over the hand of the disciple, and develops the essay, as the hand of the teacher and that of the disciple write together. Now, should it not be said that the teacher was operating, and has placed his own science, his own beautiful handwriting into that essay, in such a way that no one will be able to find a shadow of defect? However, the pupil has not moved, he has undergone the work of the teacher, he has let his hand be guided with no resistance; on the contrary, he was happy in seeing the beautiful ideas, the precious concepts, into which he felt himself being enraptured. Now, should it not be said that the fortunate disciple possesses the value, the merit, of the work of his teacher? The same happens to one who lives in My Will: the creature must undergo the act that My Volition wants to do, she must not put herself aside; and My Will must place what is needed and befitting to Its divine acts; and Our goodness is so great that We make her the possessor of Our own acts. On the other hand, to one who does not live in Our Will would happen as when the teacher assigns the essay to his disciple, but does not make himself the actor of the essay of the disciple – he leaves it up to his freedom, in a way that he could make some mistakes, and he does it according to his small capacity, because he does not feel, over and within himself, either the capacity or the operating act of his teacher. And the essay is nothing other than Our grace, which never leaves the creature, even in the little good that she does; and according to the dispositions of the creature, it offers itself either as operating act or as assisting act, because there is no good that is done which is not helped and sustained by divine grace.”

From the Calendar--November 5, 1923 Volume 16

Now, while I was pouring out my pain with Jesus, He made Himself seen in my interior, and the sacramental veils formed as though a mirror, and Jesus was inside of it—alive and real. And my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, this mirror is the accidents of the bread which keep Me imprisoned within them. I form My Life in the host, but the host does not give Me anything—not one affection, not a heartbeat, not the littlest ‘I love you.’ It is as though dead for Me. I remain alone, without a shadow of requital, and therefore My Love is almost impatient to go out, to shatter this glass, descending into hearts in order to find in them that requital which the host does not know how to give Me, nor can it do so. But do you know where I find My true requital? In the soul who lives in My Will. As I descend into her heart, immediately I consume the accidents of the host, because I know that more noble accidents, more dear to Me, are ready to imprison Me, so as not to let Me go out of that heart, which will give Me, not only life within itself—but life for life. I will not be alone, but with My most faithful company. We will be two hearts palpitating together, we will love united, our desires will be one. So, I remain in her, and there I live Life, alive and real, just as I do in the Most Holy Sacrament. But do you know what these accidents are, which I find in the soul who does My Will? They are her acts done in My Volition which, more than accidents, lay themselves around Me and imprison Me, but inside a noble and divine prison, not a dark one, because her acts done in My Will, more than sun, illuminate her and warm her. Oh! how happy I feel to form My real Life in her, because I feel as if I were inside My Celestial Royal Palace. Look at Me inside your heart - how happy I am, how I delight and feel the purest joys.”
