[Jesus speaking] “But do you know what was the first act that this noble Queen did when, coming out of the maternal womb, She opened Her eyes to the light of this low world?  As She was born, the Angels sang lullabies to the Celestial Baby, and She remained enraptured; Her beautiful soul went out of Her little body, accompanied by angelic cohorts, and went around Heaven and earth, gathering all the love that God had spread throughout the whole Creation; and penetrating into the Empyreum, She came to the foot of Our throne, offered Us the requital of the love of all Creation, and pronounced Her first ‘thank You’ in the name of all.  Oh! how happy We felt in hearing the ‘thank You’ of this Little Baby Queen.  And We confirmed in Her all the graces, all the gifts, such as to make Her surpass all other creatures together.  Then, throwing Herself into Our arms, She delighted with Us, swimming in the sea of all contentments, remaining embellished with new beauty, with new light and with new love.  She pleaded once again for mankind, praying Us, with tears, to let the Eternal Word descend in order to save Her brothers.  But as She was doing this, Our Will let Her know that She should descend to the earth, and immediately She left Our contentments and joys, and departed, in order to do… what?  Our Will.  What powerful magnet Our Will was, dwelling on earth in this newborn Queen!  No longer did the earth appear alien to Us; We no longer felt like striking it, making use of Our justice.  We had the power of Our Will which, in this innocent child, restrained Our arms, smiled at Us from the earth, and turned justice into graces and sweet smile; so much so, that unable to resist this sweet enchantment, the Eternal Word hastened His course.  Oh! prodigy of My Divine Will—to You everything is due, through You everything is accomplished, and there is no greater prodigy than My Will dwelling in the creature.”

As I was outside of myself, I found myself amid most thick darkness.  In it there were thousands of people whom that darkness rendered blind, to the point that they themselves could not understand what they were doing.  It seemed it was part of Italy and part of France.  Oh! how many errors could be seen in France—worse than those of Italy!  It seemed that they had lost their human reason, the primary endowment of man, which distinguishes him from the beasts.  But he has become worse than the beasts themselves.  Near this darkness one could see a lamp; I approached it and I found my loving Jesus, but so afflicted and indignant with those people that I trembled like a leaf, and I only said:  “Lord, placate Yourself and let me suffer by pouring your indignation upon me.” And He told me:  “How can I placate Myself if they want to exclude Me from them, as if they were not a work created by Me?  Don’t you see how France has cast Me away from herself, considering herself honored in no longer recognizing Me?  And how Italy wants to follow France, as there are some who would give their souls to the devil in order to win that point of forming the law of divorce—after they tried so many times and were left crushed and confounded?  Instead of placating Myself and pouring my indignation upon you, I suspend you from the state of victim, because after My Justice has tried several times, using all of Its power so as not to give that chastisement wanted by man himself—and in spite of this, he still wants it —t is necessary for Justice to suspend the one who holds It back, and to let the chastisement fall.”  And I:  “Lord, if You wanted to suspend me for other chastisements, I would easily have accepted, because it is right that the creature would conform to your Holy Will in everything; but to accept it for this evil most grave… my soul cannot digest this suspension.  Rather, invest me with your power and allow me to go into the midst of those people who want this.”  While saying this, I found myself with them; they seemed to be invested with diabolical forces, especially one of them, who seemed enraged.  As though wanting to turn everything upside down, I spoke and spoke, but I could barely manage to cast a few glimmers of reason into him, making known to him the error they were committing.  After this, I found myself inside myself, with sufferings extremely scarce.

From the Calendar--December 6, 1927 Volume 23

After this, I continued thinking about the Divine Will, bearer of so much good; and my sweet Jesus added:  “My daughter, my love for one who lets My Divine Fiat reign and dominate is so great, that for each act she does in It, the Divinity surrenders a divine right to the soul—that is, a right of sanctity, of light, of grace, of happiness; and with these rights It binds the soul and renders her the possessor of divine goods.  So, each additional act done in My Divine Volition is a signature that is executed by your Creator, as if He were writing for you the deed to render you the owner of his happiness, of His light, His sanctity and grace.  It happens as when a rich man loves a poor lady, who never goes out of his house; and if she goes out, it is only to visit the properties of her lord, to bring to her lord the fruits of his farms, so as to render him happy with his very goods.  The rich man looks at the poor lady, he becomes fond of her; he sees her happy in his house, but in order to be sure of her happiness, he writes a public deed of donation of his goods to the poor one who has wounded his heart, who remains always in his house, and uses his very goods to make her beloved lord happy.  So it is for one who lives in Our Divine Will.  She lives in Our house, she uses Our goods to glorify Us and make Us happy; the disparity between her and Us would cause Us pain, it would weigh upon Our paternal Heart; but since no pains or unhappinesses can enter Our Divine Volition, We act with magnanimity:  at each act of hers We place Our signature, writing the deed of donation of Our goods to make her happy and rich of Our very happiness.  This is why I repeat to you often:  ‘Be attentive, my daughter, let nothing escape you’—because each of your acts in Our Will is signatures that circulate—and divine signatures, with which it is assured that the Divine Will is yours, and that you belong to It.  Divine bonds never fail—they are eternal bonds.”

From the Calendar--December 5, 1929 Volume 25

But while my mind was wandering within the light of the Supreme Fiat, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, with the soul who lives in My Divine Will, it is more than if I made the sun descend upon earth.  What would happen then?  The night would be banished from the earth, it would always be full daylight.  And by always having contact with the sun, the earth would no longer be a dark body, but a luminous one, and it would not beg for the effects of the sun, but would receive into itself the very substance of the effects of the light, because sun and earth would live communal life and would form one single life.  What a difference is there not between the sun in the height of its sphere and the earth in its lowness?  The poor earth is subject to the night, to seasons, and to asking the sun to form the beautiful flowerings, the colors, the sweetness, the maturity of its fruits.  And the sun is not free to display all of its effects over the earth, if the earth does not lend itself to receive them; so much so, that certain points of the earth the sun does not always reach, and other points are dry and without plants.

“This is nothing other than a simile of one who does My Divine Will and lives in It and one who lives in the earth of her human volition.  The first makes descend, not only the Sun of My Divine Will into her soul, but the whole of Heaven.  Therefore, with this Sun, she possesses the perennial day, a day that never sets, because the light has the virtue of putting darkness to flight.  So, the night of passions, the night of weaknesses, of miseries, of coldnesses, of temptations, cannot be there with this Sun; and if they wanted to draw near to form the seasons in the soul, this Sun beats down Its rays and puts all nights to rushed flight, saying:  ‘I am here, and that’s enough—my seasons are seasons of light, of peace, of happiness and of perennial flowering.’  This soul is the bearer of Heaven upon earth.  On the other hand, for one who does not do My Divine Will and does not live in It, it is more nighttime than daytime in her soul; she is subject to seasons and to long rainy times, which render her always disturbed and labored; or to long droughts, in which she reaches the point of lacking the vital humors in order to love her Creator; and the very Sun of My Divine Will, because It does not live in her, is not free to give her all the good It possesses.  Do you see what it means to possess My Divine Volition?  It is to possess the source of life, of light and of all goods.  On the other hand, one who does not possess It is like the earth, which enjoys the effects of the light, and like certain lands, which are just barely illuminated, but without effects.”

From the Calendar--December 4, 1902 Volume 4

I was thinking in my mind about this obedience, saying:  “They are right in commanding me this way; besides, it is not such a great thing that the Lord would allow me to obey in the way wanted by them.  So they say:  either He should let you obey, or He should tell the reason why He wants the confessor to come to make you come round from that state.” While I was thinking of this, my adorable Jesus moved in my interior, telling me:  “My daughter, I wanted them to find the reason of My operating by themselves, because in My life, from the moment I was born up to My death, everything can be found, since the life of the whole Church is enclosed in it.  When compared to some step that can be conformed to My life, the most difficult matters are solved, the most tangled situations are unraveled, and in the most obscure and abstruse ones, such that the human mind almost becomes lost in that obscurity, one finds the clearest and brightest light.  This means that they do not have My life as the rule of their operating, otherwise they would have found the reason.  But since they have not found the reason themselves, it is necessary that I speak and manifest it.”

After this, He stood up and with empire—but so much that I became fearful—He said:  “What is the meaning of that ‘ostende te sacerdoti’ [‘show yourself to the priest’]?”  Then, becoming sweeter, He added:  “My power extended everywhere, and from any place I was I could operate the most sensational miracles; yet, in almost all My miracles I wanted to be personally present.  As for example, when I resurrected Lazarus, I went there, I had them remove the sepulchral stone, then I had him released, and then, with the empire of My voice I called him back to life.  In resurrecting the young girl, I took her by the hand with My right hand, and I called her back to life; and in many other things which are recorded in the Gospel, and which are known to all, I wanted to be there with My presence.  This teaches the way in which the priest must behave in his operating, since the future life of the Church was enclosed in mine.  And these are things that pertain to you, though in general; but your specific circumstance they will find on Calvary.  I, Priest and Victim, lifted up on the wood of the cross, wanted a priest to be present, to assist Me in that state of victim—and he was Saint John, who represented the nascent Church.  In him I saw everyone—Popes, bishops, priests and all the faithful together; and while assisting Me, He offered Me as victim for the glory of the Father and for the good outgrowth of the nascent Church.  The fact that a priest assisted Me in that state of victim did not happen by chance, but everything was a profound mystery predisposed ab æterno [from eternity] in the divine mind, intending that when I choose a soul as victim for the grave needs present in the Church, a priest must offer her to Me, assist her for Me, help her and encourage her to suffer.  If these things are understood—fine, they themselves will receive the fruit of the work they offer; just like Saint John:  how many goods did he not receive for having assisted Me on Mount Calvary?  If then they are not understood, they do nothing but put My work amid continuous contrasts, diverting My most beautiful designs.  

“In addition to this, My Wisdom is infinite, and when It sends some cross to a soul for her sanctification, It does not take that soul alone, but five, ten… as many as I please, so that not one alone, but all others together may be sanctified.  In fact, on Calvary I was not alone; in addition to having a priest, I had a Mother, I had friends and also enemies, and on seeing the prodigy of My patience, many of them believed in Me as the God I was, and were converted.  Had I been alone, would they have received these great goods?  Certainly not.”

From the Calendar--December 3, 1921 Volume 13

[Jesus speaking] “Now, you must know that the greater is the work I want to do, the more preparations are needed.  How many prophecies, how many preparations, how many centuries did not precede My Redemption?  How many symbols and figures did not anticipate the conception of My Celestial Mama?  Then, after Redemption was accomplished, I had to strengthen man in the goods of Redemption; and for this I chose the Apostles as the strengtheners of the fruits of Redemption, in which, with the Sacraments, they were to seek after the lost man and lead him to safety.  So, Redemption is salvation—it is to save man from any precipice.  This is why I told you another time that making the soul live in My Will is greater than Redemption Itself—because being saved by living a life in the middle, now falling and now standing up, is not so difficult after all.  And this was impetrated by My Redemption, because I wanted to save man at any cost; and this I entrusted to My Apostles, as depositories of the fruits of Redemption.  So, having yet to do the lesser, I left out the greater then, reserving other times for the fulfillment of My high designs.

“Now, the living in My Will is not only salvation, but is sanctity which must rise over all other sanctities, and which must carry the mark of the Sanctity of its Creator.  Therefore, minor sanctities were to come first, as cortege, bearers, messengers, preparations for this Sanctity, fully divine. …”

And Jesus:  “Let Me hear your voice that cheers My hearing.  Let us converse together a little; I have spoken to you many times about the Cross; today, let Me hear you speak of the Cross.”

I felt all confused; I did not know what to say.  But as He sent me a ray of intellectual light, to make Him content I began to say:  “My Beloved, who can say to You what the Cross is?  Your mouth alone can speak worthily of the sublimeness of the Cross; but since You want me to speak, I will do it. 

“The Cross, suffered by You, freed me from the slavery of the devil, and espoused me to the Divinity with an indissoluble bond.  The Cross is fecund, and It gives birth to grace in me.  The Cross is Light; It disillusions me of what is temporal, and reveals to me what is eternal.  The Cross is fire, and It reduces to ashes all that is not of God, to the point of emptying my heart of the tiniest blade of grass that might be in it.  The Cross is coin of inestimable value, and if I have, O Holy Spouse, the fortune of possessing It, I will be enriched with eternal coins, to the extent of becoming the richest in Paradise, because the currency that circulates in Heaven is the Cross suffered on earth.  The Cross makes me know myself more; not only this, but It gives me the knowledge of God.  The Cross grafts all virtues in me.  The Cross is the noble pulpit of the uncreated Wisdom, that teaches me the highest, the finest and most sublime doctrines.  So, only the Cross will reveal to me the most hidden mysteries, the most secret things, the most perfect perfection, hidden to the most erudite and learned of the world.  The Cross is like beneficent water that purifies me; not only this, but It administers the nourishment to the virtues in me, It makes them grow for me, and only then does It leave me, when It brings me back to eternal life.  The Cross is like celestial dew, which preserves and embellishes for me the beautiful lily of purity.  The Cross is the nourishment of Hope.  The Cross is the beacon of the operating Faith.  The Cross is like solid wood that preserves the fire of Charity, and keeps it always ignited.  The Cross is like dry wood that dispels and puts to flight all the fumes of pride and of vainglory, and produces in the soul the humble violet of humility.  The Cross is the most powerful weapon that offends the demons, and defends me from all their claws.  So, the soul who possesses the Cross is the envy and admiration of the very Angels and Saints, and the rage and indignation of the demons.  The Cross is my Paradise on earth, in such a way that if the Paradise of the Blessed up there is of delights, the Paradise down here is of sufferings.  The Cross is the chain of most pure gold that connects me with You, my Highest Good, and forms the most intimate union that can possibly be given, to the point of making my being disappear.  And It transmutes me into You, my Beloved, to the point that I feel lost within You, and I live of your very Life.”

After I said this (I don’t know whether it is nonsense), my lovable Jesus was all delighted in listening to me, and taken by enthusiasm of love, He kissed me all over, and said to me:  “Brava, brava, my beloved—you spoke well. …”

From the Calendar--December 1, 1927 Volume 23

After this, I continued my acts in the Divine Fiat, and feeling that I was not doing them well, I prayed my Celestial Mama to come to my help, that I might be able to follow that Supreme Volition which She had loved so much, and from which She recognized having received all Her glory and the height at which She finds Herself.  But while I was thinking of this, my lovable Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, all the acts of My Queen Mother, done in My Will, are all in waiting, for they want the retinue of the acts of the creature done in It.  So, in everything you do in My Volition, it is these acts that come to your help; even more, they line up around you to administer to you—some the light, some the grace, some the sanctity, and some the very act that you do, so as to have the retinue of these noble, holy and divine acts.  These acts are the outpouring of God; and as He feeds them to the creature, she is filled so much that, unable to contain them, she pours them out again and gives her divine acts to her Creator.  Therefore, they form the greatest glory which the creature can give to the One who created her. …”

From the Calendar--November 30, 1929 Volume 27

I was beginning my round in the Divine Will according to my usual way, and wanting to reorder all created intelligences in order with God, from the first to the last man that will come to earth, I was saying:  “I place my ‘I love You’ upon each thought of creature, so that, in each thought, I may ask for the dominion of the Divine Fiat over each intelligence.”  But while I was doing this, I thought to myself:  “How can I arrive at pearling each thought of creature with my ‘I love You’?’”  And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, with My Will you can do anything, and can reach anything.  Now, you must know that, before sinning, in each thought he made, in each gaze, word, work, step, heartbeat, man gave his act to God, and God gave His continued act to man.  So, his condition was of always giving to His Creator, and of always receiving.  There was such harmony between Creator and creature that, on both sides, they could not be without one giving and the other receiving, to then give his act again, be it even a thought, a gaze.  Therefore, each thought of man looked for God, and God ran to fill his thought with grace, with sanctity, with light, with life, with Divine Will.  It can be said that the smallest act of man loved and recognized the One who had given him life, and God loved him back by requiting him with His Love, and by making His Divine Will grow in each act of man, small and great.  He was incapable of receiving the Divine Life all at once—he was too narrow, and God gave It to him sip by sip, in each act he did for love of Him, taking delight in giving him always, to form His Divine Life in him.  Therefore, each thought and act of man poured into God, and God poured into him.  This was the true order of Creation:  to find His Creator in man, in each act of his, so that He might be able to give him His light and what He had established to give him.  Our Divine Will, present in Us and in him, made Itself the bearer of one and of the other, and forming the full day in him, It placed in common the goods of both.  How happy was the condition of man when Our Divine Fiat reigned in him.  It can be said that he was growing on Our paternal knees, attached to Our breast, from which he drew growth and his formation.” 

From the Calendar--November 29, 1904 Volume 6

This morning I was offering all the actions of the Humanity of Our Lord to repair for so many of our human actions, either carelessly done, without a supernatural purpose, or sinful, in order to impetrate that all creatures might do their actions with the intention of the actions of blessed Jesus and in union with them, and to fill the void of glory that the creature would give God if she did so.  While I was doing this, my adorable Jesus told me:  “My daughter, My Divinity in My Humanity descended into the deepest abyss of all human humiliations; so much so, that there was no human act, as lowly and little as it might be, which I did not divinize and sanctify.  And this, in order to give back to man doubled sovereignty—the one he lost in Creation, and the one I acquired for him in Redemption.  But man, always ungrateful and the enemy of himself, loves to be a slave rather than a sovereign.  With a means so easy—that is, with the intentions of his actions [united] to mine—he could render his actions deserving of divine merit, while he wastes them and loses the insignia of king and sovereignty over himself.”  Having said this, He disappeared, and I found myself inside myself.

From the Calendar--November 28, 1922 Volume 15

I was praying, fusing all of myself in the Most Holy Will of God, and with some doubts in my mind concerning all that my sweet Jesus keeps telling me about this Most Holy Volition.  And He, clasping me to Himself, with a light which He cast into my mind, told me:  “My daughter, My Will is beginning, means and end of every virtue; without the seed of My Will, it cannot be given the name of true virtue.  It is like the seed for the plant:  after it has sunk its roots into the ground, the deeper they are, the higher the tree becomes, which the seed contains.  So, first there is the seed; this forms the roots; the roots have the strength to make the plant sprout from under the earth; and as the roots sink into it, the branches are formed, which keep growing so high as to form a beautiful crown.  And this will form the glory of the tree which, unloading abundant fruits, will form the profit and the glory of the one who sowed the seed.

“This is the image of My Church.  The seed is My Will, in which She was born and raised.  But in order for the tree to grow, it takes time; and in order for some trees to give fruit, it takes the length of centuries—the more precious the plant is, the longer it takes.  The same for the tree of My Will which, being the most precious, the most noble and divine, the highest, needed time in order to grow and make its fruits known.  So, the Church has known the seed, and there is no sanctity without it; then She has known the branches, but it is always around this tree that She has been turning.  Now She must know the fruits in order to nourish Herself and to enjoy them; and this will be all My glory and My crown, as well as of all virtues and of the entire Church.”

From the Calendar--November 27, 1917 Volume 12

[Jesus speaking] “My daughter, all other sanctities are not exempt from waste of time and from personal interest. As for example, a soul who lives attentive to obedience in everything: there is much waste of time; that continued saying and re-saying distracts her from Me, and she mistakes the virtue for Me; and if she does not have the opportunity to take all the orders, she lives restless. Another one suffers temptations—oh! how much waste of time. She never tires of telling all her trials, and she mistakes the virtue of suffering for Me; and many times these sanctities end up in ruin. But the sanctity of living in My Will is exempt from personal interest, from waste of time; there is no danger that they might mistake the virtue for Me, because I Myself am the living in My Will.”

From the Calendar--November 26, 1929 Volume 27

[Jesus speaking} “So, you must know that this is the great difference between one who lives in Our Divine Volition and one who is resigned and, in the circumstances, does Our Divine Will: the first one, it is Divine Lives that she offers to Us by means of her acts; the other one, in operating, encloses the effects of Our Will, and We do not feel within Ourselves Our very enrapturing strength that enraptures Us in her acts, but only the effects; not the whole of Our Love, but a small particle of It; not the source of Our happiness, but its mere shadow. And from Life to effects there is such difference—just as between life and works. Who can say that a work has all the value that a life of creature can possess? Much less can the Divine Life formed by the creature in My Divine Will be compared with her works done outside of It.”

From the Calendar--November 25, 1934 Volume 33

But while my mind was wandering amid the crowd of so many thoughts about the Divine Fiat, the Celestial Sovereign, Jesus, my dear Life, surprising me, with a love more than Paternal, in act of taking me into His arms, told me: “Daughter of Mine, My daughter, if you knew My yearnings, My longing, and how I wait and wait again to see you return into My Will, you would be more attentive to come back to It more often. My love reaches the point of rendering Me restless when I don’t see you leap into My arms, that I may give you My love, My Paternal tendernesses, and receive yours. But do you know when it is that you leap into My arms? When, seeing yourself as so very little, you want to love Me and don’t know how to love Me; you tell Me an ‘I love You’, and your ‘I love You’ forms the leap in order for you to fling yourself into My arms. And since you see that your ‘I love You’ is small, brave, you take My love and you tell Me an ‘I love You’ so very big; and I enjoy that My daughter loves Me with My love, and I greatly delight in exchanging My acts with those of the creature. After all, in My Will it is not to strangers that I give, such that I would have to use one weight and one measure; but I give to My own children, therefore I let them take whatever they want. So, each time you remember to let your acts flow in My Will, be it your prayer, your pains, your ‘I love You’, your work, those are little visits that you make to your Father—for you to ask for something, and for Him to say to you: ‘Tell Me, what would you like?’ And be sure that you will always obtain more gifts and favors.”

From the Calendar--November 24, 1922 Volume 14

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!”

From the Calendar--November 23, 1927 Volume 23

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’.”

From the Calendar--November 22, 1900 Volume 4

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.”

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?”

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.”
