[Jesus speaking} “My Love is always in act of wanting to give new pledges of love to the creature; and as soon as It sees that My Will takes the operating and directing role of giving Itself to the creature, My Love makes feast, It runs, It flies toward her, and makes Itself cradle of man.  And if It sees that she does not rest in Its cradle, It rocks her, It sings for her, to make her rest and sleep on Its lap.  And while she sleeps, It breathes into her mouth to give her new life of love.  If It sees from her interrupted breath that her heart is not happy, with the breath that It sends to her, My Love forms for her the cradle in her heart, to take away from her the bitternesses, the hindrances, the bothers, and make her happy with love.  And when she wakes up—oh! how My Love rejoices in seeing her reborn, happy and full of life.  And It says to her:  ‘See, I rocked you on My lap to give you rest; I kept vigil at your side during your sleep, so that you might wake up strong, happy, and completely different from the one you were.  Now I want to be cradle for your steps, for your works, for your words—for everything.  Think that you are being rocked by Me, and place your love in the cradle of My Love, so that, identifying ourselves with each other, we may make each other happy.  Be careful not to put anything else; otherwise, you will sadden Me, and will make Me cry bitterly.”

As I was in my usual state, I was thinking about why it is the cross alone that makes us know whether we really love the Lord, while there are many other things, like the virtues, prayer, the Sacraments, which could make us know whether we love the Lord.  While I was thinking of this, blessed Jesus came and told me:  “My daughter, it is really so, the cross alone is that which makes one know whether he really loves the Lord—but a cross carried with patience and resignation, because where there is patience and resignation in crosses, there is divine life.  Since nature is so reluctant to suffering, if there is patience, it cannot be something natural, but divine, and the soul no longer loves the Lord with her love alone, but united with the love of the divine life.  So, what doubt can she have whether she loves or not, if she arrives at loving Him with His own love?  

“On the other hand, in the other things, and even in the very Sacraments, there also may be someone who loves, who contains this divine life within himself, but these things cannot give the certainty of the cross.  It may be there, or it may not, because of lack of dispositions.  One can very well go to Confession, but if he lacks the dispositions, it certainly cannot be said that he loves and that he has received this divine life within himself.  Another may receive Communion; indeed he receives the divine life, but he can only say that this divine life remains within him if he had the true dispositions.  In fact, it can be seen how some receive Communion or go to Confession, but as occasions arise, the patience of divine life cannot be seen in them; and if patience is missing, love is missing because love is recognized only through sacrifice.  And so here are the doubts; while the cross, patience, resignation, are fruits produced only by Grace and by love.”

From the Calendar--February 15, 1931 Volume 29

Then, I continued my abandonment in the Divine Fiat, and unable to do anything else, I kept saying my little I love You in the divine acts.  Not only this, but I was saying to myself:  “My Jesus, my Love, may my I love You flow in Your heartbeat, in Your breath, on Your tongue, in Your voice, and even in the smallest particles of Your adorable Person.”  But while I was doing this, my dear Life, making Himself seen, made me place my I love You in His Heart, inside and outside of His whole Divine Person.  And He enjoyed it so much, that He incited me to repeat as many I love You’s as I could, so as to be able to find the well-liked I love You in His whole Being.  And then, clasping me to Himself, He told me:  “My daughter, love is life, and when this love comes out of the soul who lives in My Will, it has the virtue of forming in God Himself the life of love.  And since the substance of the Divine Life is love, the creature, with her love, forms in God another Divine Life, and We feel inside of Our very Selves Our Life formed by the creature.  This Life which, with her love, united to Our Will—because it is Our Will that administers to her the power, such that the creature can reach the point of forming the very Divine Life, all of love, within God—this Life is the triumph of God and the triumph of the creature.  And in act of triumph We take this Divine Life which the creature has formed within Our very Selves, and We give It for the good of all creatures as the precious gift that the little daughter of Our Will gives to all; and We anxiously await her to come with her love to form more Divine Lives within Our Supreme Being.  My daughter, Our Love is not sterile; on the contrary, It has the seed of generating continuous life; so, as you were saying I love You in My heartbeat, in My breath, so I generated another heartbeat, another breath—and so with all the rest, in such a way that I felt within Myself the new generation of your I love You that formed the new Life of My Love; and—oh! how happy I felt, thinking that My daughter was forming for Me, inside of Me, My very Life within Me, all of love.  If you knew how moving is this act of the creature, which with her love gives God to God….  Oh! how it enraptures Us; and feeling enraptured, We give more love, to have the contentment of making her repeat Our new Lives of Love.  Therefore, love, love very much, and you will make your sweet Jesus happier.”

From the Calendar--February 14, 1912 Volume 11

Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus came, and I was saying to Him:  “Tell me, O Jesus, how is it that after You have disposed the soul to suffering, and knowing the goodness contained in it, she loves suffering, she suffers almost with passion, and while she believes that suffering is her inheritance, all of a sudden You take this treasure away from her?” And Jesus:  “My daughter, My love is great, My rule is insuperable, My teachings are sublime, My instructions divine, creative and inimitable.  Therefore, so that all things—be they great or small, painful or enjoyable, natural or spiritual—may acquire one single color and have one single value, once the soul has practiced suffering and reaches the point of loving it, I let this suffering pass into her will as her own property.  So, every time I send her suffering, having the property and the dispositions within her will, she will always be disposed to suffer it and to love it.  I look at things in the will, and it is as if the soul were always suffering, even if she does not suffer.  And so that pleasure may have the same value as suffering, as well as praying, working, eating, sleeping…—in sum, everything, because everything is in whether things are from My Will—so that all things may have one same value, I allow the soul to practice all things in My Will with holy indifference.  So, it seems to the soul that I give her something, and then I take it away from her; but it is not true.  Rather, it happens that at the beginning, when the soul is not yet well trained, she feels sensitivity in suffering, in praying, in loving; but when, through practice, these things pass into her will as her own property, her sensitivity ceases.  And when the need arises for her to use these divine properties which I made her acquire, with firm step and imperturbable heart she begins to exercise them, as the opportunity comes.  For example:  does suffering come?  She finds within herself the strength and the life of suffering.  Must she pray?  She finds within herself the life of prayer; and so with all the rest.”

From the Calendar--February 13, 1927 Volume 20

[Jesus speaking] “Imagine a king who had his kingdom; all lands, villas and cities are his exclusive property.  There is nothing which does not belong to him—not only by the right that the kingdom is his, but also by the right of property that they belong to him.  Now, because of his goodness of heart, this king wants to see his people happy, and so he distributes his farms, his villas, his lands to his people for free, giving them even housing in his cities, in such a way that all can be rich, with abundance, each one in his own condition.  And he does all this great good to his people for the sole purpose that they would recognize him as their king, giving him absolute dominion, and recognizing that the lands occupied by them have been given to them for free by the king, that he might be glorified, recognized and loved for the good he has done to them.  Now, this people, ungrateful, does not recognize him as its king, and it claims the right of property over the lands which it possesses, denying that they were gifts given by the king.  Would this king, then, not be defrauded in the glory of the good he has done to his people?  And if you add that they use his lands without benefit for themselves—some do not work them, some remove from them the most beautiful plantations, some render the most pleasant gardens squalid, in such a way as to procure for themselves their own unhappiness and misery – all this would add dishonor and a sorrow that no one could soothe, to the detriment of the glory of the king.

“This is nothing but the mere shadow of what My Supreme Will has done, and still does.  No one has given Us a cent for receiving the good of the sun, of the sea, of the earth; rather, We gave them everything for free, and only to make them happy, and so that they would recognize My Supreme Fiat, which loved them so much and wants nothing but love and dominion.  Now, who could repay that king for the detriment of the glory which his people have not given him, and soothe his intense sorrow?  Suppose, again, that someone from that same people, investing himself with the just sorrow of his king and wanting to repay him of his glory, begins, at first, to renovate the land he occupies, in such a way as to make of it the most beautiful and pleasant garden of the kingdom.  Then he says to everyone that his garden is a gift that the king has given him because he loves him; and then he calls the king into his garden and says to him:  ‘These are your dominions—it is right that they be all at your disposal.’  The king is pleased with this loyalty, and says:  ‘I want that you be king together with me, and that we reign together.’  Oh! how he feels his glory being restored, and his sorrow soothed by this one member of his people.  But this man does not stop; he covers all the paths of the kingdom, and stirring everyone with his speaking, he calls a good handful of people to imitate him, and forms the loyal people which give the right of dominion to their king.  And the king feels restored in his glory and, as reward, he gives them the title of children of his, and says to them:  ‘My kingdom is yours—reign, children of mine.’  

“This is My purpose—that in My Kingdom there be no servants, but My children, and kings like Me.  This will happen with My Divine Will.  Oh! how It awaits to be given back Its complete glory in the Creation; and that it be recognized that everything belongs to It, so as to be able to say:  ‘Everything is yours—let us reign together.’  How It awaits for Its knowledges on the Supreme Fiat to cover the paths in order to stir, to call—to press creatures to come into My Kingdom, so as to form My true children, to whom I can give the title of kings.  This is why I have so much interest that these manifestations on My Divine Will be known—because this is about My greatest act, which is the fulfillment of My glory and the complete good of creatures.”

From the Calendar--February 12, 1908 Volume 8

As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me:  “My daughter, timidity represses Grace and hampers the soul.  A timid soul will never be good at operating great things, either for God, or for her neighbor, or for herself.  When a soul is timid, it is as if she had her legs tied:  unable to walk freely, she always has her eyes fixed on herself, and on the effort she makes in order to walk.  Timidity makes her keep her eyes low, never high.  In operating, she draws her strength not from God, but from herself, and therefore, instead of becoming stronger, she becomes weaker.  If Grace sows, it happens to It as to a poor farmer who, having sown and worked his little field, harvests little or nothing.  On the other hand, in one day a courageous soul does more than a timid one does in one year.”

From the Calendar--February 11, 1926 Volume 18

I remained surprised, and I comprehended with such clarity what an act of human will means, compared to an act of Divine Will, and how the soul, by doing her own will, loses the physiognomy of her Creator; and stripping herself of the beauty with which she was created, she clothes herself with miserable rags, she barely drags herself in good, she acquires the diabolical likeness, she feeds herself with dirty foods. My Jesus, give us all the grace never to do our own will, which is like calling all passions back to life. So, almost trembling, I tried to plunge more deeply into the Supreme Will, and I called my Celestial Mama to my help, so that, together, in the name of all, we might adore the Supreme Will on behalf of all the human wills opposed to It. Now, while I was doing this, the Heavens opened, and my Jesus came out from within my interior, all in feast, and told me: “Daughter of My Volition, you must know that when My Will reigns in the soul, It integrates everything she does and the development of the Life of My Eternal Will in her. So, it was not you who called My Divine Mama, but it was My Will that called Her. And She, feeling called by a Divine Will which has always been whole and triumphant within Her, immediately perceived that one from the Celestial Family was calling Her upon earth; and She said to all Heaven: ‘Let us go, let us go. It is one from our Family that is calling us to fulfill the duties of the Family to which we belong.’ And here they are—look at them, all around us: the Virgin, the Saints, the Angels, to do the act of adoration which you want to do; and the Divinity, to receive it. …”

From the Calendar--February 10, 1901 Volume 4

As my adorable Jesus continued to come, He made Himself seen with eyes refulgent with most vivid and most pure light. I remained enchanted and surprised before that dazzling light, and Jesus, on seeing me so enchanted, unable to tell Him anything, said to me: “My beloved, obedience has an extremely long sight and surpasses the very light of the sun in beauty and in sharpness. In the same way, love of self is very much shortsighted, so much so, that it cannot take one step without tripping. And do not believe that this extremely long sight is possessed by those souls who go on always disturbed and in scrupulousness. Rather, this is a net that love of self weaves around them, which, being very shortsighted, makes them fall first, and then provokes in them a thousand disturbances and scruples, and what they have detested today with so many scruples and fears, they fall into again tomorrow, to the point that their living is reduced to being always immersed in this artificious net which love of self knows well how to weave around them. This, unlike the extremely long sight of obedience, which is killer of the love of self. Her sight is so very long and clear, that immediately she foresees where she might slip, and with generous heart she abstains from it and enjoys the holy freedom of the children of God. And just as darkness draws more darkness, so does light draw more light, and this light arrives at drawing to itself the light of the Word, and uniting together, they weave the light of all virtues.”

From the Calendar--February 9, 1908 Volume 8

Having received Communion, I was saying: “Lord, keep me always clasped to You, for I am too little, and if You do not keep me clasped, because I am little, I may get lost.” And He: “I want to teach you the way you must be with Me: first, you must enter into Me, transform yourself in Me, and take what you find in Me. Second, once you have filled yourself completely with Me, go out and operate together with Me, as if you and I were one single thing, in such a way that if I move, you move as well; if I think, you think of the same thing of which I am thinking—in sum, whatever I do, you do as well. Third, with these acts that we have done together, move away from Me for one instant, and go into the midst of creatures, giving to all and to each one everything we have done together—that is, giving My divine life to each one, and then quickly returning into Me to give Me, in the name of all, all the glory that they should give Me, praying, excusing them, repairing, loving… Ah, yes! Love Me for all, satiate Me with love! There are no passions in Me, but if there could be any passion, it would be only this and this alone: love. But love in Me is more than passion—it is My life; and if passions can be destroyed, life cannot. See the necessity of being loved in which I find Myself. Therefore, love Me, love Me.”

From the Calendar--February 8, 1921 Volume 12

This morning, after I had received Communion, I heard in my interior my always lovable Jesus saying: “Oh! iniquitous world, you are doing everything you can to cast Me away from the face of the earth, to banish Me from society, from schools, from conversations—from everything. You are plotting how to demolish temples and altars, how to destroy My Church and kill the ministers; and I am preparing for you an Era of Love—the Era of My Third Fiat. You will follow your way in order to banish Me, and I will confound you by means of love. I will follow you from behind, I will come toward you from the front so as to confound you in love; and there where you have banished Me, I will raise My throne, and will reign more than before—but in a more astounding way; so much so, that you yourself will fall at the foot of My throne, as though bound by the strength of My love.”

Then He added: “Ah! My daughter, the creature rages ever more in evil. How many machinations of ruin they are preparing —hey will reach such point as to exhaust evil itself. But while they occupy themselves with following their way, I will occupy Myself so that My Fiat Voluntas Tua may have Its completion and fulfillment, and My Will may reign upon the earth—but in a completely new way. I will occupy Myself with preparing the Era of the Third Fiat in which My love will show off in a marvelous and unheard-of way. Ah! yes, I want to confound man completely in love. Therefore, be attentive—I want you with Me, in preparing this Era of Love, Celestial and Divine. We will hold each other’s hand, and will work together.” Then He drew close to my mouth, and as He sent His omnipotent breath into it, I felt new life being infused in me; and He disappeared.

From the Calendar--February 7, 1908 Volume 8

Continuing in my usual state, I was thinking about the enormous weight that blessed Jesus felt in carrying the cross, and I said to myself: “Lord, life too is a weight—but what a weight, especially because You, my highest Good, are far away.” At that moment, He came and told me: “My daughter, it is true that life is a weight, but when this weight is carried with Me, and one finds out that at the end of his life he can unload this weight within Me, he will find this weight changed into a treasure, in which he will find gems, precious stones, diamonds and all riches, such as to make him happy for eternity.”

From the Calendar--February 6, 1927 Volume 20

I was all immersed in the Supreme Volition, following Its acts in order to constitute myself act of each creature; and my sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and stretching out His arms to me, He embraced me tightly, clasping me all to Himself. Now, while Jesus was embracing me, all created things—the heavens, the sun, the sea—all of them, even the tiny little bird, placing themselves around Jesus, they all embraced me, wanting to repeat His act. They were as though competing among themselves—none of them wanted to be left behind. I remained confused in seeing that the whole Creation was running toward me to embrace me; and Jesus told me: “My daughter, when the soul lives in My Will and I do one act toward her—even a simple kiss, one little word—all Creation, beginning with the Sovereign Queen, even to the least of the littlest being, they all put themselves in motion to repeat my act. In fact, since one is the Will—of the soul, Mine, and their own—all have the right to associate themselves with Me, to do the same thing I do. Therefore, it was not Me alone, but all beings in which My Will exists as whole, were together with Me in embracing you. So, whenever I do one more act with one who lives in My Will, I give a new feast to the whole Creation; and whenever there is a new feast, all move and stand at attention, when I am about to give you a gift or tell you a word, so as to concur together with Me, repeat My act, receive the new feast, and make for you the feast of their acts. Was it not a feast for you to feel the embrace of the Celestial Mama, the embrace of the light of the sun, of the waves of the sea, and even of the tiny little bird that stretched out its wings to embrace you? My daughter, wherever My Will is present, there is everything—not one thing can escape It.”

From the Calendar--February 5, 1928 Volume 23

So, while I was thinking about the Kingdom of the Divine Will, and Its reigning upon earth seemed as though difficult to me, my beloved Jesus, coming out from within my interior, told me: “My daughter, as Adam sinned, God made him the promise of the future Redeemer. Centuries passed, but the promise did not fail, and the generations had the good of Redemption. Now, as I came from Heaven and formed the Kingdom of Redemption, before departing for Heaven, I made another promise, more solemn, of the Kingdom of My Will; and this was in the ‘Our Father.’ And so as to give it more value, and to obtain It more quickly, I made this formal promise in the solemnity of My prayer, praying the Father to let His Kingdom come, which is the Divine Will on earth as It is in Heaven. I placed My very Self at the head of this prayer, knowing that such was His Will, and that, prayed by Me, He would deny Me nothing; more so, since I prayed with His very Will, and I asked for something which was wanted by My Father Himself. And after I had formed this prayer before My Celestial Father, certain that the Kingdom of My Divine Will upon earth would be granted to Me, I taught it to My Apostles, that they might teach it to the whole world, so that one might be the cry of all: ‘Your Will be done, on earth as It is in Heaven.’ A promise more sure and solemn I could not make. Centuries are like one single point for Us, but Our words are accomplished acts and facts. My very praying to the Celestial Father: ‘Let It come—let Your Kingdom come; Your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven,’ meant that with My coming upon earth the Kingdom of My Will was not established in the midst of creatures; otherwise I would have said: ‘My Father, let Our Kingdom, which I have already established on earth, be confirmed, and let Our Will dominate and reign.’ Instead, I said: ‘Let It come.’ This meant that It must come, and creatures must await It with that certainty with which they awaited the future Redeemer, because there is My Divine Will, bound and committed, in those words of the ‘Our Father;’ and when It binds Itself, whatever It promises is more than certain. More so, since everything was prepared by Me; nothing else was needed but the manifestation of My Kingdom—and this I am doing. Do you think that My giving you so many truths about My Fiat is only to give you simple news? No, no; it is because I want everyone to know that Its Kingdom is near, and to know Its beautiful prerogatives, so that all may love—may yearn to enter, to live in a Kingdom so holy, full of happiness and of all goods. Therefore, that which seems difficult to you is easy for the power of Our Fiat, because It knows how to remove all difficulties, and to conquer everything—the way It wants, and when It wants.”

From the Calendar--February 4, 1922 Volume 14

[Jesus speaking] “In creating man, I acted like a king who, wanting to render his kingdom happy, takes a million and puts it in circulation, so that whoever wants it may take of it. But as much as it circulates, only a few take a few cents. Now, the king is anxious to know whether the peoples are taking the good he wants to do to them, and he asks whether his million is finished so as to put out more millions. But he is answered: ‘Majesty, just a few cents.’ The king feels sorrow in hearing that his people are not receiving his gifts, nor do they appreciate them. So, going out into the midst of his subjects, he begins to see some covered with rags, some infirm, some starving, some shivering with cold, some homeless; and in his sorrow, the king bursts into sobs of crying, and says: ‘Ah! had they taken my money, I would see no one giving me dishonor, covered with rags, but rather, well dressed; nor would I see them infirm, but healthy. I would see no one starving and almost dead from hunger, but full. Had they taken my money, no one would be homeless; they could very well have built themselves a room in which to take shelter.’ In sum, for each misfortune he sees in his kingdom, he has a sorrow, a tear; and he grieves over his million which the ingratitude of the people rejects. But the goodness of this king is so great, that in spite of such great ingratitude, he does not withdraw this million—he lets it continue to circulate, hoping that other generations may take the good which others have rejected, and so he may receive the glory of the good he has done to his kingdom.

“So I do: My Love which has come out I will not withdraw—It will continue to go wandering. Its sobbing will last still, until It finds souls who would take this Love of Mine down to the last penny, so that My crying may cease, and I may receive the glory of the dowry of the Love that I have issued for the good of creatures. But do you know who the fortunate ones are, who will make the sobbing of My Love cease? The souls who will live in My Will. They will take all the Love rejected by the other generations; with the power of My creative Will, they will multiply It as much as they want, and for as many creatures as have rejected It from Me. Then will Its sobbing cease, and the sob of joy will take its place; and Love, satisfied, will give to these fortunate ones all the goods and the happiness which others did not want.”

From the Calendar--February 3, 1929 Volume 25

[Jesus speaking] “You must know that the Angels, the Saints, the Sovereign Queen, are all one piece; their beings are nothing other than one single act of Divine Will. Therefore, nothing but Divine Will appears in each of them; the thought, the gaze, the word, the work, the step—nothing appears but Fiat! Fiat! and this constitutes all the fullness of the happiness of all Saints. Now, one who does and lives in My Will on earth is similar to the inhabitants of Heaven—that is, she is all one piece, and forms one single piece with them, in such a way that if the pilgrim soul thinks, the Saints think together with her; if she loves, if she operates, they love and operate with her. There are such tight bonds between her and Heaven, that all together form one single act of My Will; so much so, that all the celestial inhabitants are on the lookout to see what the creature on earth does, so that nothing may escape them. Wherever My Divine Will reigns, It has Its Heaven, and has the virtue of kidnapping Heaven onto earth and the earth into Heaven, and of forming one single thing. Therefore, courage, do not lose heart; think that you are dealing with a Divine Will, and this should make you content.”

From the Calendar---February 2, 1921 Volume 12

Continuing in my usual state, I was fusing all of myself in the Divine Volition, and was saying to myself: “My Jesus, I want to love You, and I want so much love as to compensate for the love of all generations, which have been, and which will be. But who can give me so much love as to be able to love for all? My Love, in Your Will there is the creative strength; therefore in Your Will I myself want to create so much love as to compensate for and surpass the love of all, and everything that all creatures are obliged to give God as Our Creator.”

But while I was doing this, I said: “How much nonsense I am speaking.” And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, indeed, in My Will there is the creative strength. From within one single ‘Fiat’ of Mine came out billions and billions of stars. From the ‘Fiat Mihi’ of My Mama, from which Redemption had Its origin, come out billions and billions of acts of grace which communicate themselves to souls. These acts of grace are more beautiful, more resplendent, more varied than the stars; and while the stars are fixed and do not multiply, the acts of grace multiply to infinity; in each instant they run, they attract creatures, they delight them, they strengthen them and give them life. Ah! if creatures could see in the supernatural order of grace, they would hear such harmonies, they would see such an enchanting scene, as to believe that that is their paradise. Now, the third Fiat too must run together with the other two Fiats; It must multiply to infinity, and in each instant It must give as many acts for as many acts of grace as are unleashed from My womb; for as many stars, for as many drops of water, and for as many created things as the Fiat of Creation unleashed. It must blend with them and say: ‘As many acts as you are—so many I do.’

“These three Fiats have one same value and power. You disappear—it is the Fiat that acts, and therefore you too can say in My omnipotent Fiat: ‘I want to create so much love, so many adorations, so many blessings, so much glory to my God, as to compensate for everyone and for everything.’ Your acts will fill Heaven and earth; they will multiply with the acts of Creation and Redemption, and will become one.

“All this will seem astounding and incredible to some; in that case they would have put My creative power in doubt. And besides, when it is I who want it, and give this power, every doubt ceases. Am I perhaps not free to do whatever I want, and to give to whomever I want? You—be attentive; I will be with you, I will overshadow you with My creative strength, and I will accomplish what I want upon you.”

From the Calendar--February 1, 1903 Volume 4

As I was in my usual state, I was feeling very afflicted, especially because my confessor had told me that this morning a Protestant Church would be opened in Corato, and that I should pray the Lord to make something happen that would confound them, at the cost of any suffering of mine. But, seeing that the Lord was not coming and therefore I did not feel great sufferings—the only means to obtain these kinds of graces—I felt a most great affliction. Then, after I struggled a lot, blessed Jesus came, and I saw the confessor insisting very much, and praying to make me suffer. So it seemed that He shared with me the pains of the cross, and then He told me: “My daughter, I have made you suffer, forced by the priestly authority, and I will permit that those who go there, instead of being convinced by what the Protestants say, will make fun of them. However, since the chastisement swooped down on Corato in those days in which I kept you suspended from the state of victim, it must now have its course; and if you continue to suffer, I will dispose the hearts in such a way that, at the appropriate time, I will make use of some occasion to have them remain completely confounded and destroyed.”

From the Calendar--January 31, 1918 Volume 12

I was abandoning all of myself in Jesus, and He said to me: “My daughter, dissolve yourself in Me. Your prayer—dissolve it in Mine, so that your prayer and Mine may be one single prayer, and it may not be recognized which one is yours and which Mine. Your pains, your works, your will, your love—dissolve them all with My pains, with My works, etc., in such a way that they may mix one with the other, to form one single thing; so much so, that you may be able to say: ‘What belongs to Jesus is mine,’ and I: ‘What is yours is Mine.’

“Imagine a glass of water, which is poured into a large container of water. Would you be able to distinguish, afterwards, the water of the glass from the water of the container? Certainly not. Therefore, to your greatest gain and My highest contentment, repeat to Me often, and in whatever you do: ‘Jesus, I pour it into You, that I may do not my will, but Yours;’ and I, immediately, will pour My acting into you.”

From the Calendar--January 30, 1927 Volume 20

[Jesus speaking} “…Many times, My daughter, novelties bring new life, new goods, and creatures are very much drawn to novelties, and let themselves be as though carried by the novelty. More so, since the novelties of the new manifestations about My Divine Will, which have a divine strength and a sweet enchantment, and which will rain down like celestial dew upon souls burnt by the human will, will be bearers of happiness, of light and of infinite goods. There are no threats in these manifestations, nor any fright; and if there is anything about fear, it is for those who want to remain in the maze of the human will. But then, in all the rest, one can see nothing but the echo, the language of the Celestial Fatherland, the balm from on high which sanctifies, divinizes and makes the down payment of the happiness which reigns only in the Blessed Fatherland. This is why I delight so much in writing what regards the Divine Fiat—because I write things which belong to My Fatherland. Too perfidious and ungrateful will be those who will not recognize in these manifestations of mine the echo of Heaven, the long chain of love of the Supreme Will, the communion of goods of our Celestial Father, which He wants to give to creatures; and as though wanting to put aside everything that has passed in the history of the world, He wants to begin a new era, a new creation, as if the new history of Creation were just now beginning. Therefore, let Me do, because whatever I do is of highest importance.”

From the Calendar--January 29, 1919 Volume 12

Now, it seemed that He was saying to me: “My beloved daughter, I want to make known to you the order of My Providence. Every course of two thousand years I have renewed the world. In the first two thousand years I renewed it with the Flood; in the second two thousand I renewed it with My coming upon earth, in which I manifested My Humanity, from which, as though from many fissures, My Divinity shone forth. And the good and the very Saints of the following two thousand years have lived of the fruits of My Humanity, and, in drops, they have enjoyed My Divinity. Now we are at the turn of the third two thousand years, and there will be a third renewal. This is the reason for the general confusion—it is nothing other than the preparation for the third renewal; and if in the second renewal I manifested what My Humanity did and suffered, and very little of what the Divinity was operating, now, in this third renewal, after the earth has been purged and the current generation destroyed for the most part, I will be even more generous with creatures, and I will accomplish the renewal by manifesting what My Divinity did within My Humanity; how My Divine Will acted with My human will; how everything remained linked within Me; how I did and redid everything, and even one thought of each creature was redone by Me and sealed with My Divine Volition. My Love wants its outpouring, and wants to make known the excesses which My Divinity operated in mM Humanity for the good of creatures, which surpass by far the excesses that My Humanity operated externally. This is also why I often speak to you about the living in My Will, which I have not manifested to anyone until now. At the most, they have known the shadow of My Will, the grace, the sweetness that doing It contains; but to penetrate inside of It, to embrace immensity, to multiply oneself with Me and penetrate everywhere, even while being on earth, both into Heaven and into the hearts, to lay down the human ways and act with the divine ways—this is not yet known; so much so, that not to a few will it appear strange, and those who do not keep their minds open to the light of truth will not understand a thing. But I, little by little, will make My way, manifesting now one truth, now another, of this living in My Will, so that they will end up comprehending It. …”
