[Jesus speaking] “Now, the multiplicity of the things I have made known to you serves to show what this Divine Will is, how there is nothing more important, more holy, more immense, more powerful, more beneficial and which has the virtue of giving more life than It does. All other things, as good and holy as they may be, are always in the secondary order; It alone has always the first place, and wherever It is not present, there cannot be life.
“So, the many knowledges about My Will will serve My Will Itself as glory and triumph, and will serve the creatures as path to find life and to receive it. The height and immensity of My Will will serve creatures so as to never let them stop, but always move forward in order to reach It as much as they can; and the multiplicity of these knowledges will serve the freedom of each one to take what they want. In fact, each knowledge contains Life; if the veil of each knowledge is broken, they will find in it, as queen, the Life of My Will. The more they take and do, the more the Life of My Will will grow in them. Therefore, be attentive in manifesting the qualities, the infinite riches It possesses, so that the Heaven of My Will may be more beautiful, more charming, more majestic—as indeed It is—than the heaven of Creation; so that, enraptured by Its beauty, by the goods It contains, all may yearn to come to live in the Kingdom of My Will.”

This morning my adorable Jesus made Himself seen with a golden cross, all shining, hanging from His neck, and in looking at it, He was immensely pleased. In one instant the confessor was present, and Jesus said to him: "The sufferings of these past days have increased the splendor of the cross; so much so, that in looking at it, I take great delight."
Then He turned to me and told me: "The cross communicates such splendor to the soul as to render her transparent. Just as one can give all the colors he wants to an object which is transparent, in the same way, with its light the cross provides all features and the most beautiful shapes that can possibly be imagined, not only by others, but by the very soul who experiences them. Furthermore, on a transparent object one can immediately detect dust, little stains, and even a shadow. Such is the cross: since it renders the soul transparent, it immediately reveals to the soul the little defects, and the slightest imperfections, so much so, that there is no hand of master more capable than the cross in keeping the soul prepared, to make of her a residence worthy of the God of Heaven." Who can say what I understood of the cross, and how enviable is the soul who possesses it?

Having come for a little, blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter, all human actions, even holy, done without a special intention for Me, come out of the soul full of darkness, while if they are done with an upright and special intention to please Me, they come out full of light, because the intention is the purge of the action.”
From the Calendar--July 20, 1921 Volume 13
Continuing in my usual state, I was feeling very much embittered, and I said to myself: “Your Will alone is left to me; I have nothing else—everything has disappeared.” And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, My Will is all that must be left to you. It is symbolized by water. While water appears abundant in seas, rivers, and wells, it seems as if there is no water on the rest of the earth. Yet, there is not one point of the earth which is not soaked with water; there are no buildings in which water has not been the primary element for their construction; there is no food in which water does not hold its primary place; otherwise it would be dry food, which man could not even swallow. The strength that water contains in such and so great, that if it had free field to go out of the seashore, it would devastate and terrify the entire earth.
“My Will is more than water. It is true that, in certain points, times and circumstances, It is as though concentrated within most extensive seas, rivers and wells; but there is no thing, from the greatest to the smallest, in which My Will does not flow and hold Its primary place—even though hidden, just as the water is hidden in the earth, and although not appearing, it is the one that makes plants vegetate and gives life to their roots. However, when My love will make arise the Era of My Will, the new era of maximum benefit for creatures, then will the seas and rivers of My Volition overflow; and as their gigantic waves will rise, they will sweep everything into My Will—but no longer hiddenly; rather, Its roaring waves will make themselves seen by everyone and will touch everyone. And those who will want to resist the current, will run the risk of losing their lives.
“Now since My Will alone has been left to you, you are like water which holds the first place among all goods; and when My Volition will flow out of Its shores, your will, dissolved into Mine, will have its primacy in all things, both in Heaven and on earth. What more do you want?”
From the Calendar--July 19, 1928 Volume 24
Then, while my mind was making present the Conception of the Sovereign Lady, I said to myself: “Immaculate Queen, this little daughter of the Divine Will comes to prostrate herself at your feet, to celebrate your Conception and to give you the honors of Queen. And together with me I call the whole creation to surround you like a crown—the angels, the saints, the heavens, the stars, the sun and everyone, to recognize you as our Queen, to honor and love your height, and to declare ourselves your subjects.
“Don’t you see, oh Celestial Mother and Queen, how all created things run to be around you to say to you: ‘We hail you, our Queen. Finally, after so many centuries, we have been given our Empress.’ The sun hails you as Queen of Light, the heavens as Queen of Immensity and of the Stars, the wind as Queen of Empire, the sea as Queen of Purity, Strength, and Justice, the earth hails you as Queen of Flowers. All hail you, in chorus: ‘You are the welcome one, our Queen—you will be our smile, our glory, our happiness. From now on we will all hang upon your wishes.’”
From the Calendar--July 18, 2916 Volume 19
My poor mind was thinking about what is written above, and my sweet Jesus continued on the same topic, telling me: “My daughter, see then, the necessity for Me not to give the Kingdom of My Will and not to make It known when I came upon earth. I wanted to test the creature once again; I wanted to give her things inferior to those which I gave her in creation — remedies and goods to heal her. In fact, when I created man he was not ill, but healthy and holy, therefore he could very well live in the Kingdom of My Will. But as he withdrew from the Supreme Volition, he fell ill, and I came upon earth as the Celestial Doctor to see whether he would accept the remedies, the medicines for his illness; and after this test, then would I give him the surprise of manifesting the Kingdom of My Will, which I kept in My Humanity, prepared for him. Those who think that Our highest goodness and infinite wisdom would have left man with only the goods of Redemption, without raising him again to the original state in which he was created by Us, deceive themselves. In that case Our creation would have remained without its purpose, and therefore without its full effect, which cannot be in the works of a God. At the most, We might let centuries pass and turn, giving now one surprise, now another; entrusting now one little good to the creature, now a greater one. We will act like a father who wants to give his property to his children, but these children have wasted much of the goods of their father. In spite of this, he is determined to give his property to his children, so he thinks of another device: he no longer gives large amounts to his children, but a little bit at a time, lira by lira; and as he sees that his children preserve that little, he keeps increasing the small amounts. Through this, they come to recognize the love of the father and to appreciate the goods he entrusts to them, which they would not do before, when they had large amounts. This serves to strengthen them and to teach them how to preserve the goods received. So, once he has trained them, the father confirms his decision and gives his property to his children. …”

But while my poor mind wandered in the Divine air, my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, all the good acts that the creature does in My Divine Will rise to God, because It has the divine power to draw up, into the Celestial Fatherland, what is done in Its Volition; and then, with Its same Power, It makes them fall back like beneficial rain over the same creature, in such a way that if the creature loves, blesses, adores, thanks, praises, God requites her with new rain of love, of blessings, rain of thanksgivings, because He felt Himself being loved and thanked by the creature, and bursting into rain of praises, He praises her before the celestial court. Oh! How Our divine goodness awaits the adoration, the pleasant ‘I love You’ of the creature, to be able to give to Our love the vent of being able to say to her: ‘Daughter, I love you.’ Therefore, there is not one act that the creature does for Us, for which Our tenderness, all paternal, does not give to her multiplied requital.”
From the Calendar--July 16, 1924 Volume 17
Then He added: “My daughter, in creating man, I infused the soul in him with My breath, wanting to infuse in him the most intimate part of Our interior — Our Will, which brought to him, all together, all the particles of Our Divinity which man, as creature, could contain, to the extent of making of him Our image. But man, ungrateful, wanted to break the union with Our Will, and even though he kept the soul, the human will, which took the place of the Divine, obscured him, infected him, and rendered inactive all the divine particles, to the extent of dishonoring him completely and of disguising him. Now, since I want to dispose him again to receive this Will of Mine, it is necessary that I breathe on him again, so that My breath may put to flight darkness and infections, and may render active the infusion of Our Will which We made in creating him.
“Oh, how I wish to see him beautiful, restored, just as I created him! And My Will alone can work this great prodigy. This is why I want to breathe on you — so that you may receive this great good: that My Will reign in you and give you back all the goods and the rights which It gave man in his creation.” And as He was saying this, coming near me, He breathed on me, He looked at me, He squeezed me to Himself; and then He disappeared.
From the Calendar--July 15, 1934 Volume 33
And my always adorable Jesus, almost to confirm what I thought, told me: “My daughter, for one who does My Will and lives in It, everything is hers. If It gives Itself to the creature, It does not give Itself only, but It brings all Its works, because they are inseparable from It, and It makes use of them in order to let wander, nourish, make happy, enrich with Its immense riches, she who lives in It. And It places Itself in the conditions of being able to always receive from the creature. If My Divine Volition could not give everything, and always give and always receive from one who lives in Its Volition, it would not be a true happy life in It because the substance of happiness is formed by new surprises, by exchanges of gifts, by various and manifold works, each one possessing the source of various joys, that the one makes a gift of to the other, and they attest their love to each other in turn. One pours into the other, and in this pouring into each other they communicate secrets, and the creature makes new discoveries about the Divinity and acquires other knowledges about the Supreme Being.
“Life in My Will is not a joke, but operating life and continuous activity. Rather, you must know that there is nothing that has been done by God, by the saints, and by everyone, that is not given to one who lives in My Volition, because there is nothing of God that does not belong to It. And as you feel the need of possessing everything, so everyone feels the need of giving himself to you. But do you know why they want to pass through the channel of the human volition? In order to give the good that they possess and to duplicate the good, the glory, of their acts to their Creator. In fact, as you desire to search them out, so Our works and those of the whole of Heaven desire to be sought. It seems that they say one after the other: ‘And to me, and to me—do not pass me over. Take me in your power, unite us all together so that one is the love, the glory, of everyone to that Supreme Will that has given birth to us in Its womb and has given us life.’
“Therefore, living in My Will is the prodigy of prodigies, it is the unity of everything, it is to possess everything, to receive and give everything. And since I want to always give to the creature, I ardently yearn for her in My Fiat in order to give her what I want and to fulfill My desires.”
From the Calendar--July 14, 1923 Volume 15
… Then afterwards, He added: “My daughter, the whole world is upside down, and everyone is awaiting changes, peace, new things. They themselves gather to discuss about it, and are surprised at not being able to conclude anything and to come to serious decisions. So, true peace does not arise, and everything resolves into words, but no facts. And they hope that more conferences may serve to make serious decisions, but they wait in vain. In the meantime, in this waiting, they are in fear, and some prepare themselves for new wars, some hope for new conquests. But, with this, the peoples are impoverished, are stripped alive, and while they are waiting, tired of the sad present era, dark and bloody, which enwraps them, they wait and hope for a new era of peace and of light.
“The world is exactly at the same point as when I was about to come upon earth. All were awaiting a great event, a new era, as indeed occurred. The same now; since the great event, the new era in which the Will of God may be done on earth as It is in Heaven, is coming—everyone is awaiting this era, tired of the present one, but without knowing what this new thing, this change is about, just as they did not know it when I came upon earth. This expectation is a sure sign that the hour is near. But the surest sign is that I am manifesting what I want to do, and that turning to a soul, just as I turned to My Mama in descending from Heaven to earth, I communicate to her My Will and the goods and effects It contains, to make of them a gift for the whole of humanity.”
From the Calendar--July 13, 1931 Volume 29
[Jesus speaking] “Now, you must know, My daughter, that the passport in order to enter into My Kingdom is the resolute will of never doing one’s own will, even at the cost of one’s life and any sacrifice. This resolute act, but true, is like the signature that one puts on the passport in order to set off in the Kingdom of My Divine Will; and while the creature signs in order to set off, God signs in order to receive her. This latter signature will have so much value, that the whole of Heaven will go to meet her in order to receive her into the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat in which they live; and they will be all eyes over this creature who, from the earth, holds as life and as Kingdom that same Will that they hold in Heaven. But the passport is not enough; one must study the language, the ways, the customs of this Divine Kingdom—and these are the knowledges, the prerogatives, the beauties, the value that My Will contains. Otherwise, one would be like a stranger; he would neither take love, nor be loved. If he does not sacrifice in making of It a study in order to be able to speak with that same language, and does not adapt himself to the customs of those who live in this Kingdom so holy, he will live isolated, because, not understanding him, they will shun him; and isolation makes no one happy. In addition to this, one must pass from the study to the practice of what was learned; and after a length of practice, at last, he is declared a citizen of the Kingdom of My Divine Will, and then will he enjoy all the happinesses that are in a Kingdom so holy; even more, they will be his own properties; and he will acquire to right to live in It as in his own Fatherland.”
From the Calendar--July 12, 1918 Volume 12
I was praying for a dying soul with a certain fear and anxiety, when my lovable Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, why do you fear? Don’t you know that for each word on My Passion, for each thought, compassion, reparation, memory of My pains—as many ways of electric communication open between Me and the soul, and therefore the soul keeps adorning herself with as many different beauties? She has done the Hours of My Passion, and I will receive her as a daughter of My Passion, clothed with My Blood and adorned with My wounds. This flower has grown inside your heart, so I bless it and I receive it in My Heart, as a favorite flower.” And while He was saying this, a flower came out of my heart, and took flight toward Jesus.
From the Calendar--July 11, 1923 Volume 15
[Jesus speaking] “You must know that this fulfillment of My Will is so great as to be numbered among the greatest works which the Divinity has operated. And I want It to be known, so that in knowing Is greatness and the immense goods It contains, they may love It, esteem It, and desire It. Three tines did the Supreme Divinity decide to operate ‘ad extra.’ The first was in Creation, and it was without the intervention of the creature, since none of them had yet come out to the light of day. The second was in Redemption, and with it intervened a woman, the holiest, the most beautiful—My Celestial Mama. She was the channel and the instrument I used in order to fulfill the work of Redemption. The third is the fulfillment of My Will to be done on earth as It is in Heaven—that is, for the creature to live and operate with the sanctity and the power of Our Will; a work inseparable from Creation and Redemption, just as the Sacrosanct Trinity is inseparable. Nor can We say that the work of Creation has been completed by Us, if Our Will, as We decreed, does not act in the creature and live with that freedom, sanctity, and power with which It operates and lives in Us. Even more, this is the most beautiful point, the highest, the brightest, and the seal of the fulfillment of the work of Creation and Redemption. … “

And my beloved Jesus added: “My daughter, when My Divine Will dominates on earth, then will there be a perfect union between Heaven and earth. One will be the order, one the harmony, one echo, one the life, because one will be the Will. Even more, as though many mirrors will be seen in Heaven, and creatures, reflecting themselves in them, will look at what the Blessed in Heaven are doing. They will hear their chants, their celestial melodies—there will be the life of Heaven in the midst of creatures. My Fiat will place everything in common, and there will be the true life of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven. Then will My Will sing victory, and the creature will sing the hymn of Its triumph.”
From the Calendar--July 9, 1918 Volume 12
Continuing in my usual state, my sweet Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, I am all Love. I am like a fount which contains nothing but love, and everything that might enter into this fount, loses its qualities and becomes love. Therefore, justice, wisdom, goodness, fortitude, etc. are nothing other than love in Me. But who directs this fount, this love, and everything else? My Will. My Will dominates, rules, orders. So, all My qualities carry the mark of My Volition—the life of My Will; and wherever they find My Will they make feast—where they don’t, saddened, they withdraw.
“Now, My daughter, one who lets himself be dominated by My Will and who lives in My Volition, lives within My very fount, being almost inseparable from Me, and everything in him turns into love. Therefore, his thoughts are love; love is his word, heartbeat, action, step—everything. It is always daylight for him. But if he moves from My Will, it is always night for him; and all that is human—miseries, passions, weaknesses—come out into the field and do their own crafting on him—but what a crafting! A work to be wept over!
From the Calendar--July 8, 1935 Volume 33
[Jesus speaking] “My daughter, this is My purpose: that I want that My Will would be life of the creature in order to keep her together with Me, so as to let her love with My Love, operate with My works, in sum, she is the company that I want in My acts; I do not want to be alone. And if this could not be, of what use to call the creature into My Will, if I would remain as isolated God, and she alone, without taking part in Our Divine works? And not only in the instituting of the Most Holy Sacrament, but in all the acts that I did in the whole course of My life, in virtue of the one Volition with which We were animated.
“What I did, My Mama did. If I did miracles, she was together with Me to operate the prodigy. I felt in the power of My Will the Sovereign Lady of Heaven, who together with Me called the dead to life. If I suffered, she was together with Me to suffer. There was nothing in which I did not have her company, and her and My work fused together. This was the greatest honor that My Fiat gave to her: the inseparability with her Son, the unity with His works. And the Virgin was the greatest glory that gave witness to Me, so much so that I deposited the completed works, and she received the deposit in her maternal Heart, jealous of guarding even the breath. This unity of Will and of work ignited such love between both, that it was enough to set the whole entire world on fire, and to consume it in pure love.”
From the Calendar--July 7, 1928 Volume 24
…while I was accompanying my sweet Jesus in the little room of Nazareth in order to follow His acts, I thought to myself: “Certainly my beloved Jesus had the Kingdom of His Will during His hidden life. In fact, the Sovereign Lady possessed His Fiat, He was the Divine Will Itself, and Saint Joseph, in the midst of these seas of endless light—how could he not let himself be dominated by this Most Holy Will?”
But while I was thinking of this, my highest Good, Jesus, sighing with sorrow in my interior, told me: “My daughter, indeed My Divine Will reigned in this house of Nazareth on earth as It does in Heaven. My Celestial Mama and I knew no other will, and Saint Joseph lived in the reflections of Our Will. But I was like a king without a people, isolated, without cortege, without army, and My Mama was like a queen without children, because she was not surrounded by other children worthy of her to whom she could entrust her crown of Queen, so as to have the offspring of her noble children, all kings and queens.
“And I had the sorrow of being a King without a people; and if those who surrounded Me could be called a people, it was a sick people—some were blind, some mute, some deaf, some crippled, some covered with wounds. It was a people that gave Me dishonor—not honor; even more, it did not even know Me, nor did it want to know Me. So, I was King only for Myself, and My Mama was Queen without the long generation of her offspring of her royal children.
“But in order to be able to say that I had My Kingdom, and to rule, I had to have ministers; and even though I had Saint Joseph as prime minister, one minister only does not constitute a ministry. I had to have a great army, all intent on fighting to defend the rights of the Kingdom of My Divine Will; and a faithful people that would have, as law, only the law of My Will. This was not so, My daughter; therefore I cannot say that, on coming upon earth, I had the Kingdom of My Fiat at that time.
“Our Kingdom was for Us only, because the order of Creation, the royalty of man, was not restored. However, by the Celestial Mother and I living wholly of Divine Will, the seed was sown, the yeast was formed, so as to make Our Kingdom arise and grow upon earth. Therefore, all the preparations were made, all the graces impetrated, all the pains suffered, so that the Kingdom of My Fiat might come to reign upon earth. This is why Nazareth can be called the point of recall of the Kingdom of Our Will.”
From the Calendar--July 6, 1931 Volume 29
And my highest Good, Jesus, with all goodness, told me: “My daughter, one who does My Will and lives in It forms in her soul the book of the Divine Fiat. But this book must be full, not empty or with only a few pages written; if it is not full, she will soon finish reading it, and having nothing to read, she will occupy herself with something else, and therefore the Life of My Divine Will will be interrupted and as though broken in the creature. On the other hand, if it is full, she will have always something to read; and if it seems that it ends, i will add other pages more sublime, so that she may never lack the life, the knowledge ever new, and the substantial nourishment of My Divine Volition.”
From the Calendar--July 5, 1923 Volume 15
[Jesus speaking] “… The characteristics of My Kingdom are My wounds, the thorns, the Cross. I do not act like the other kings who make their peoples live outside of them, unsafe, and eventually, even starving. Not Me—I call My peoples to dwell inside the rooms of My wounds, fortified and sheltered by My pains, their thirst quenched by My Blood, their hunger satisfied by My Flesh. This alone is true reigning; all other reigns are reigns of slavery, of dangers and of death, while in My Reign there is true life.
“How many sublime teachings, how many profound mysteries in My words. Each soul should say to herself, in pains and in sufferings, in humiliations and in abandonments by all, and in practicing true virtues: ‘This is my kingdom, which is not subject to perishing. No one can take it away from me or touch it. On the contrary, my kingdom is eternal and divine, similar to that of my sweet Jesus. My sufferings and pains certify it for me and render my kingdom more fortified and fierce, in such a way that, in the face of my great strength, no one will be able to wage battle against me.’ This is the Kingdom of peace, to which all My children should aspire.”
From the Calendar--July 4, 1927 Volume 22
… my beloved Jesus added: “My daughter, the Sacraments came out of My Will like many little fountains; I issued them from It, keeping in It the source from which each of these fountains continuously receives the goods and the fruits that each of them contains. But they act according to the dispositions of those who receive them; so, because of lack of dispositions on the part of creatures, the fountains of the Sacraments do not produce the great goods they contain. Many times they pour waters, but the creatures are not washed; other times they consecrate, impressing a divine and indelible character, but in spite of this they do not appear to be sanctified. Another fountain gives birth to the life of your Jesus continuously; they receive this life, but neither the effects of it nor the life of your Jesus can be seen in them. So each Sacrament has its sorrow, because they do not see their fruits and the goods they contain in all creatures.
“Now, for one who lives in My Will, letting It reign as in Its own Kingdom, since My Divine Will possesses the source of the Sacraments, what is the wonder if one who lives in It possesses the source of all the Sacraments and feels within herself the nature of the Sacraments with all the effects and goods they contain? And as she receives them from the Church, she will feel that it is food that she possesses, but that she takes in order to give complete glory to those Sacraments, whose source she possesses, and to glorify that very Divine Will that instituted them, because in It alone there will be perfect glory for all Our works.
“This is why I so much long for the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat—because It alone will give balance to everything; It will give to creatures all the goods It wants, and will receive the glory that they owe It.”
