Continuing in my usual state, I felt disturbed because of the absence of my adorable Jesus. Then, after I struggled very much, He came and told me: “My daughter, as soon as the soul goes out of the depths of peace, she goes out of the divine sphere and finds herself either in the diabolical or in the human sphere. It is peace alone that reveals whether the soul seeks God for God or for herself, whether she operates for God or for creatures. In fact, if she does it for God, the soul is not disturbed; it can be said that the peace of God and the peace of the soul combine together, and the boundaries of peace expand around the soul, in such a way that everything converts into peace, even wars themselves. But if the soul is disturbed, be it even in the holiest things, it shows after all that it was not for God, but for her own self or for some human purpose. Therefore, when you do not feel calm, call yourself a little to see what actually is in there; destroy it, and you will find peace.”

[Jesus speaking] “This celestial baby girl, by keeping Our Divine Will intact within her soul, without ever doing her own, reacquired all the rights of Adam innocent before her Creator, and the sovereignty over all creation. Therefore, all felt themselves being reborn in her, and We saw in this Holy Virgin, in her little Heart, all the seeds of the human generations. So, through her, humanity reacquired the rights lost, and this is why her birth was the most beautiful, the most glorious birth. From her very birth, she enclosed within her maternal little Heart, as though in-between two wings, all generations, as children reborn in her virginal Heart, so as to warm them, keep them sheltered, and raise them and nourish them with the blood of her maternal Heart.
“This is the reason why this tender Celestial Mother loves creatures so much—because all are reborn in her, and she feels the life of her children within her Heart. What can Our Divine Will not do wherever It reigns and has Its life? It encloses everything and everyone, and makes one the provider of good to all. So, all feel, under her blue mantle, the maternal wing of their Celestial Mother, and they find in her maternal Heart their little place in which to take cover. …”

And I: “My Love, a thought afflicts me—I fear I may lack the continuation of my acts in Your Divine Will, and as I would interrupt the sound of my bell, You, offended by me, might put me aside, and will not give me any more grace to make me live in Your Will.”
And Jesus added: “My daughter, do not fear; you must know that one step gives life to another step, one good is life and support of another good, one act calls to life another act; and even evil, sin, is life of other evils and of other sins. Things never remain isolated, but almost always have their succession. Good is like the seed, that possesses the generative virtue; as long as one has the patience to sow it into the bosom of the earth, it will produce ten—twenty times as much. The same for the creature; if she has patience and remains attentive to enclose in her soul the seed of the good that she has done, she will have the generation, the multiplicity—one hundredfold, of the good acts that she has done. And if you knew what it means to do a good act! Each act is a protection that she acquires, and a voice speaking before Our throne of the one who has done a good. For each additional act of good, so many more defenders does the creature have for her defense; and if the circumstances of life cause her to find herself in such constraints and trials that it seems that she might want to vacillate and fall, the good acts that she has done take on the appearance of assailers, and they assail Us, so that the one who has loved Us and has had a succession of many good acts may not vacillate; and they run around the creature as supporters, that she may not give up in the trial. And suppose that there had been a sequence of acts done in Our Will—oh! then in each act there is a Divine value and virtue defending the creature. We see in each of her acts Our Will as though engaged, therefore We Ourselves make Ourselves defenders and supporters of she who has given life in her acts to Our Divine Fiat. Can We perhaps deny anything to Ourselves? Or disregard Our Will operating in the creature? No, no. Therefore, do not fear, but rather, abandon yourself like a little newborn in Our arms, that you may feel Our support and the protection of your very acts. …”

I was fusing all of myself in the Holy Will of my sweet Jesus, and I said to Him: “My Love, I enter into Your Will, and here I find all the thoughts of Your mind and all those of creatures. I surround Your thoughts with my thoughts and with those of all my brothers, and then I unite them together, making them one in order to give You the homage, the adoration, the glory, the love, the reparation of Your own Intelligence.”
While I was saying this, my Jesus moved in my interior, and standing up, told me: "Inseparable daughter of My Will, how happy I am in hearing repeated what My Humanity did in My Will. And I kiss your thoughts in Mine, your words in Mine, your heartbeat in Mine." And as He was saying this, He covered all of me with kisses. Then I said to Him: “My Life, why do You enjoy so much and make feast every time You manifest another effect of Your Will?” And Jesus: "You must know that every time I manifest to you one more truth about My Will, it is one more bond that I form between you and Me, and with the whole human family. It is a greater union; it is a tighter link; it is sharing My inheritances; and as I manifest them I form the deed of donation, and in seeing My children richer and sharing in the inheritance, I feel new contentments and I make feast. …”

[Jesus speaking] “You must know that as the creature enters Our Will, everything is transformed: darkness is turned into light, weakness into fortitude, poverty into riches, passions into virtue. Her mutation is such that she is not the same as before; her state is no longer one of a most wicked slave, but of a noble queen. Our Divine Being loves her so much that It runs into her acts to do whatever she does, and since Our motion is continuous, We move and love her—move and hug her. Our motion moves and kisses her, making her more beautiful and more the saint. In every motion We give from Ourselves and, in the emphasis of Our love We tell her about Our Supreme Being, making known who We are and how much We love her. We identify Ourselves in her and she in Us. Our Will and her will are one—to the extent that We feel her in Our divine motion, and as she takes what is Ours, she loves Us with Our love; she gives Us Our inaccessible light to glorify Our sanctity—to praise Us and say: ‘Holy, Holy, trice Holy are You. You enclose all; You are all.' How beautiful it is to see the human smallness inside of Our Will, having in its power Our Divine Being, to give it back to Us, to love Us and glorify Us as We want and justly deserve. In Our Will the parts become equal; dissimilarities disappear. Our unity unites everything and everyone, making one the acts of all, to become the act of all.”

After this, He [Jesus] seemed to transport me outside of myself, and He made me see the multitude of the peoples, and the good which they can do, but do not, and therefore the glory which God must receive, but does not. All afflicted, Jesus added: "My beloved, My Heart burns for the honor of My glory and the good of souls. For each good they omit, My glory and their souls receive a void. Even if they do no evil, by not doing the good they could do, they are like those empty rooms which, though beautiful, contain nothing to be admired, nothing which strikes one’s gaze, and therefore their owner receives no glory. If then they do one good and neglect another, they are like those rooms all vacated, in which one can see just a few objects, with no order. My beloved, come and take part in these pains, in the ardors which My Heart feels for the glory of the Divine Majesty and the good of souls, and try to fill these voids of My glory. You can do this by letting not a single moment of your life pass without being united to My life; that is, in all your actions, be they prayer or suffering, rest or work, silence or conversation, sadness or joy, and even in the food you take – in sum, in everything that may happen to you, you will place the intention of giving Me all the glory which others should give Me in that action, and of making up for the good they should do, but do not, intending to repeat this intention for as much glory as I do not receive, and for as much good as they omit. If you do this, you will somehow fill the void of the glory which I must receive from creatures, and My Heart will feel a refreshment in My ardors; and from this refreshment rivulets of grace will flow for the good of mortals, which will infuse in them more fortitude to do good." After this, I found myself inside myself.

As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus made Himself seen all light, and said these simple words: "I am light — but what is light made of? What is the principle of it? It is truth. So, I am light because I am truth. Therefore, in order for the soul to be light and to have light in all of her actions, these must come from truth. Wherever there is artifice, deception and duplicity, there cannot be light — but darkness." And He disappeared like a flash.
From the Calendar--September 2, 1910 Volume 9
I was thinking about Jesus carrying the cross to Calvary, especially when He met with the women, and He forgot about His pains and occupied Himself with consoling, answering and also instructing those poor women. How everything was love in Jesus! He was the one who needed to be consoled, yet He was consoling – and in what a state He was consoling! He was all covered with wounds, His head pierced with most pricking thorns, panting and almost dying under the cross – and He was consoling others! What an example, what a humiliation for us – a little cross is enough to make us forget the duty to console others! So I remembered the many times in which, finding myself oppressed by sufferings or by the privations of Jesus that pierced and lacerated my interior through, and being surrounded by people, Jesus would spur me on to imitate Him in this step of His Passion; and I, though embittered down to the marrow of my bones, would strive to forget about myself in order to console and instruct others. And now, finding myself free and without having to deal with people, because of and thanks to obedience, I was thanking Jesus for I no longer found myself in those circumstances... I feel I can breathe a freer air, to be able to occupy myself only with myself.
And Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: "My daughter, yet for Me it was a relief, and I felt as though refreshed, especially in those who were truly coming to do good. In these times, truly, there is a lack of those who cast true interior spirit into souls, because not having it themselves they cannot infuse it in others; so they teach souls to be touchy, scrupulous, light, without a true foundation of detachment from everything and from everyone, and this produces sterile virtues, which go about blooming, and they die. And some think they make progress with souls, because they reach minuteness and scrupulousness; but instead of progress, these are true hindrances which ruin the souls, and My love remains on an empty stomach with them. Therefore, since I have given you much light about the interior ways, and I have made you comprehend the truth about true virtues and true love, since you are in the truth, through your mouth I could make others comprehend the truth about the true path of virtues, and I felt contentment because of this."
And I: “But, blessed Jesus, after the sacrifice I would make, they would then go around talking, and so obedience, justly, has prohibited the coming of people.” And Jesus: "This is the error – that one pays attention to chatter, rather than to the good one is supposed to do. About Me also they chattered, and if I wanted to pay attention to this, I would not have accomplished the redemption of man. Therefore, one must pay attention to what one must do, and not to what people say; and chatter remains with those who make it."
From the Calendar--September 1, 1900 Volume 3
… He [Jesus] continued: “Now, would you be able to tell Me what it is that breaks the sweet contrasts, and removes the loving discontents which may arise between God and the soul?” Since I did not answer, He Himself said: “My daughter, only obedience has this office, because she alone decides about the things pertaining to Me and the soul. And when some contrasts arise, or when some discontent comes to mortify the soul, as obedience arises, she breaks the contrasts, removes the discontents, and puts peace between God and the soul.”
From the Calendar--August 31, 1926 Volume 19
[Jesus speaking] “See then, for how long have all the goods that We must give to the children of Our Supreme Fiat been issued from Our paternal womb—everything has been prepared since the time of Creation; nor will We with draw because of the delay–-We will keep waiting. No sooner than the creature places her will as the footstool of Ours to let It dominate, will We open the doors for her, to let her enter, because it was the human will that closed the doors to Ours and opened the doors to miseries, to weaknesses, to passions. It was not her memory or her intelligence that placed themselves against their Creator, even though they concurred, but it was the human will that had its first act and broke all the bonds, all the relations with a Will so holy. More so, since all good and all evil is enclosed in it—the regime, the dominion is its own; and so once the will has failed in good, everything fails, loses order, decays from its origin, becomes ugly. And since it was the human will that placed itself against Mine, causing all goods to fail man, this is why I want his will, and in exchange I want to give him Mine, to give back to him all the goods that had failed him. Therefore, My daughter, be attentive, never give life to your will if you want Mine to reign in you.”
After this He kept silent, remaining all afflicted because of the great evil produced in creatures by the human will, to the point of disfiguring His beautiful image, infused in them in creating them. And, sighing, He added: “My daughter, the human will paralyzes the life of My Will in the soul, because without My Will the Divine Life does not circulate in the soul, which, more than pure blood, preserves her motion, her vigor, the perfect use of all mental faculties, in such a way as to make her grow healthy and holy, so that We may recognize Our likeness in her. How many souls paralyzed without My Will! What a pitiful scene, to see the human generations almost all paralyzed in the soul, and therefore irrational, blind for seeing good, deaf for listening to the truth, mute for teaching it, inert for holy works, immobile in walking on the path of Heaven, because the human will, preventing the circulation of My Will, forms the general paralysis in the souls of creatures. It happens as to the body: the majority of illnesses, especially then, those of paralysis, are caused by lack of blood circulation. If the blood circulates well, man is robust and strong, he feels no disquiet; but if some irregularity begins in the blood circulation, indispositions, weaknesses and consumption begin; and if the circulation becomes quite irregular, he remains paralyzed, because that blood which does not circulate and does not flow rapidly in his veins forms the grave evils of the human nature. What would creatures not do if they knew that there is a remedy for the regularity of blood circulation! They would go who knows where to have it, so as to incur no malady. And yet, there is the great remedy of My Will to avoid any evil of the soul, so as not to become paralyzed in good, but to grow strong and robust in sanctity – and who takes it? And still, it is a remedy given out for free, nor do they have to wander round in order to get It; rather, It is always ready to give Itself and constitute Itself as the regular life of the creature. What sorrow, My daughter! What sorrow!” Having said this, He disappeared.
From the Calendar--August 30, 1928 Volume 24
Then, after this, I was following all the Acts that Jesus had done in Redemption; and my sweet Jesus added: “My daughter, My language in Redemption was very different from what I have had for the Kingdom of My Divine Will. In fact, in Redemption, My language was to adapt to people who were incapable, weak, ill, deaf, mute and blind—and many were on the verge of the tomb. Therefore, in order to speak to them, I made use of parables and similes of the low world, that they themselves could touch with their own hands. So, I spoke to them now as Doctor, offering them the medicines to heal them; now as Father, who awaited their return even if they were unruly children; now as Shepherd, who went in search of the lost sheep; now as Judge who, unable to attract them by means of love, tried to attract them at least by threats and by fear; and many other similes.
“This language of Mine says that those to whom I was speaking did not know Me, did not love Me, and even less did they do My Will—on the contrary, they were far away from Me; and that I, with My parables, made the searches and laid the net in order to catch them and give to each one the remedy to heal them. But how many escaped Me. And I intensified the searches and the teachings to give light to many blind, that they might get out of their obstinate blindness.
“Now, see how different is My language that I have had in manifesting the truths on My Divine Will, that must serve the children of Its Kingdom. My language on the Fiat has been like a father in the midst of his dear and loving children, all healthy; and since each of them possesses My very life within them, by virtue of My Will they will be capable of understanding My highest lessons.
“This is why I have moved beyond, placing before them the beautiful similes of the sun, of the spheres, of the heavens, of the very divine way of operating, that extends up to the infinite; because, having My Divine Fiat in them, they will have within them He who created the heavens, the spheres, the sun, who will give them the virtue of copying within themselves everything He created and His very ways that He has in His Divine operating. These will be the copiers of their Creator. …”

[Jesus speaking “My daughter, how beautiful on your lips is the prayer for the triumph of the Kingdom of the Supreme Will. It is the echo of My own prayer, of My sighs and of all m]My works. Now I want to see what you wrote about the title to be given to the writings about My Will.” And as He was saying this, He took this book in His hands, and He seemed to be reading what is written on August 27. As He was reading, He remained pensive, as though placing Himself in profound contemplation, in such a way that I did not dare to tell Him anything; I could only hear that His Heart was beating very, very strongly, almost wanting to explode. Then He pressed the book to His breast, saying: “I bless this title – I bless it from My Heart, and I bless all the words that regard My Will.” And raising His right hand, with enchanting majesty, He pronounced the words of the blessing. Having done this, He disappeared.

“Now, from the creation of beings I went to the creation of Man. How much love in creating him. Our Divine Being poured love and, in creating him, Our love was flowing, Investing every fiber of his heart, every tiny little piece of his bones. Our love laid in his nerves; We made it also flow in his blood; We Invested his steps, motion, voice, heartbeat and each one of his love-thoughts. When Our love molded him it filled him so much that in every created thing, even in his breath, he had to give Us love, just as We loved him in everything. Then Our love reached the excess of breathing over him to leave him Our love breath. For completion and crowning We created Our image in his soul, providing it with memory, intelligence and will, remaining in him as Our bearer. Therefore man is united to Us as limbs, and We are within him as if in Our house. But, how much suffering We receive from him. Our love is not in force; Our image is there, but it is not recognized; Our house is full of enemies that offend Us. We can say that man changed Our destiny as well as his own. He turned upside-down Our designs for him, and he keeps causing pain to Our arm, which continues to love him and to give him life.
“My daughter, Our love wants to reach the greatest excesses; it wants to save Our arm, which is man, and put him back in order at any cost. We will be forced by Our love to breathe over him again; to cast away his enemies and Ours. We will cover him again with Our love, letting the life of Our majesty, sanctity, power and wisdom enter into Him. Having Our creature in this disorder that dishonors Us so much...O no! We will triumph in man, and the certain sign is that We are manifesting the wonders of Our will as well as how to live in It. If we didn't do so, Our power would be altered, as if We were incapable of saving Our work—Our very arm. This cannot be. It would be as if We were not able to do what We want. Ah no...No! Our love and Our Will will conquer and will triumph in everything.”
From the Calendar--August 27, 1926 Volume 19
As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made me see the reverend father who must occupy himself with the printing of the writings on the adorable Will of God. And Jesus, placing Himself near him, said to him: “My son, the title you will give to the book you will print about My Will is this: ‘The Kingdom of My Divine Will in the midst of creatures. Book of Heaven. The call of the creature to the order, the place and the purpose for which he was created by God’. See, I want the title also to correspond to the great work of My Will. I want the creature to comprehend that his place, assigned to him by God, is in My Will, and until he enters into It, he will be without place, without order, without purpose; he will be an intruder in the Creation, with no right at all, and therefore he will go wandering without peace, without inheritance. And I, moved to compassion for him, will cry out to him continuously: ‘Enter into your place, come into the order, come to take your inheritance – to live in your house. Why do you want to live in a foreign house? Why do you want to occupy a land that is not yours? And because it is not yours, you live unhappy, and you are the servant and the laughing-stock of all created things. All things created by Me, because they remain in their place, are in order and in perfect harmony, with all the fullness of their goods, assigned to them by God. You alone want to be unhappy–but of a voluntary unhappiness. Therefore come to your place–it is there that I call you and await you’. Therefore, he or she who will offer to make My Will known, will be My spokesperson, and I will entrust to them the secrets of Its Kingdom.”
From the Calendar-- August 26, 1908 Volume 8
As I was in my usual state, I was all afflicted and almost dazed because of the usual privations. Then He came, just in passing, and told me: "My daughter, that which I want you to take to heart is constancy in good, both internal and external, because the repetition of the act of loving Me, of many interior acts and of constant good, makes Divine Life grow ever more in the soul – but with such energy, that she can be compared to a child who, growing in good air and with healthy foods, keeps growing well, in full health, until he reaches his proper stature, without needing either doctors or medicines. Even more, he is so robust and strong, that he relieves and helps others.
“On the other hand, one who is not constant grows like a child who is not always fed with healthy foods and lives in putrid air. He grows sickly, and since his members do not have the strength to develop and grow due to lack of good nourishment, they develop with defects; and so a tumor forms in one place, an abscess in another. He walks with a limp, he speaks with difficulty; one can say that he is a poor cripple. Though one can see good members mixed in, those with defects are more; and even though he consults doctors and takes medicines, they do him little or no good, because his blood is infected by the putrid air, and his members are weak and defective from malnutrition. So, he will be a man, but he will not reach a proper stature, and will always need help, without being able to help others. Such is the inconstant soul. With inconstancy in good, it is as if the soul nourished herself with foods which are not good; and by applying herself to other things which are not God, it is as if she breathed putrid air. So, Divine Life grows with difficulty and poorly, because It lacks the strength and the vigor of constancy."
From the Calendar--August 25, 1921 Volume 13
But He was saying this with such bitterness as to make stones cry. Then He added: "Every time I speak to you about My Will and you acquire new understanding and knowledge, your act in My Will receives more value and you acquire more immense riches. It happens as to a man who possesses a gem, and knows that this gem is worth a penny: he is rich one penny. Now, it happens that he shows his gem to a skilled expert, who tells him that his gem has a value of five thousand liras. That man no longer possesses one penny, but he is rich five thousand liras. Now, after some time he has the opportunity to show his gem to another expert, even more experienced, who assures him that his gem contains the value of one hundred thousand liras, and is ready to buy it if he wants to sell. Now that man is rich one hundred thousand liras. According to his knowledge of the value of his gem, he becomes richer, and feels greater love and appreciation for the gem; he keeps it in custody more jealously, knowing that the gem is all his fortune, while before he held it as a trifle. Yet, the gem has not changed – that which it was, so it is now; he is the one who has changed, by understanding the value that the gem contains.
“Now, the same happens with My Will, as well as with virtues. According to how the soul understands their value and acquires knowledge of them, she comes to acquire new values and new riches in her acts. Therefore, the more you know My Will, the more your act will acquire value. Oh, if you knew what seas of graces I open between you and Me every time I speak to you about the effects of My Will, you would die of joy and would make feast, as if you had acquired new reigns to dominate!"
From the Calendar--August 24, 1915 Volume 11
Continuing in my usual state, as soon as my always adorable Jesus came, I gave Him a kiss, telling Him: “My Jesus, if it were possible, I would like to give You the kiss of all the creatures, so I would satisfy Your love, by bringing them all to You."
And Jesus: "My daughter, if you want to give Me the kiss of all, kiss Me in My Will, because My Will, containing the creative virtue, contains the power to multiply one act into many acts, as many as you want. In this way, you will give Me the contentment as if all had kissed Me, and you will have the merit as if you had made everyone kiss Me; while all the creatures will receive the effects according to their own dispositions.
“One act in My Will contains all possible imaginable goods. You will find an image of this in the light of the sun. The light is one, but this light multiplies itself in all the glances of creatures. The light remains always one, one single act, but not all the glances of creatures enjoy the same light. Some, of weak sight, need to put their hand before their eyes, almost not to be blinded by the light; others, blind, do not enjoy this light at all, but this is not due to a defect of the light, rather, to a defect in the sight of the creatures. Therefore, My daughter, if you desire to love Me for all, your love will flow in My Will, if you do this in It. And since My Will fills Heaven and earth, I will hear your ‘I love You’ being repeated in Heaven, around Me, inside of Me, on earth, and it will multiply itself from every point, for as many acts as My Will can do. So, it can give Me the satisfaction of the love of all, because the creature is limited and finite, while My Will is immense and infinite.
“How can those words which I pronounced in creating man, ‘We make man in Our Image and Likeness,’ be explained? How could the creature, so incapable, ever resemble Me and be My image? Only in My Will could she arrive at this, because by making It her own, she arrives at acting in the divine manner; and through the repetition of these divine acts she arrives at resembling Me, becoming My perfect image. It happens as to that child who, by repeating the acts which he observes in his teacher, becomes like him. So, the only thing that makes the creature be like Me is My Will. This is why I have so much interest that the creature, making It her own, may fulfill the purpose for which she was created."
From the Calendar--August 23, 1928 Volume 24
Then, I continued my round in the Fiat, and while accompanying my lovable Jesus in His Life down here, I felt pity for Him when I reached those points in which He was all alone, not even with His Celestial Mama, like in the desert and in the nights of His public life when, withdrawing from everyone, He would almost always remain outdoors, outside of built-up areas, alone, praying and even crying for our salvation.
And I said to myself: “My Jesus, your little daughter does not have the heart to leave You alone. I want to place myself near You, and if I can do nothing else, I will whisper in your ear: ‘I love You, I love You....’ For the sake of Your loneliness, prayers and tears, give me the Kingdom of Your Will. Hurry—see how the world is falling; Your Will will place it in safety.”
But while I was thinking of this, my Beloved Jesus came out from within my interior, and throwing Himself into my arms to enjoy my company, He told me: “My daughter, thank you. I await you always in each of My acts, to be able to say: ‘The little daughter of My Will never left Me alone.’
“You must know that My loneliness weighed heavy on Me, because He who had come for all and to search for all, was to be sought for by all; and for each of them I felt, vividly, the pain of the loneliness in which they left Me; and with My searching gaze, I kept searching to see whether anyone looked for Me and loved My company; and many times I looked for this comfort in vain. However, you must know that in so much loneliness in which creatures left Me, I never remained alone. I had the company of the Angels and that of My Mama, because, though She was far away, My Divine Will brought Me her heartbeat and all her acts as cortege around Me, to keep Me company.
“And also, from that time, It brought Me the newborn of My Fiat with all the retinue of the children of My Kingdom for My company, because all times belong to My Divine Will, and It has the virtue of reducing them to one single point, so as to have them, in all times, in continuous act without ever ceasing. Furthermore, as the soul remembers what I did and wants to be around Me, she prepares the void within herself in which to place the fruit of what I did and suffered.”
From the Calendar--August 22, 1926 Volume 19
After this, I was following the acts in the Supreme Volition, which converted all into light and formed a horizon of radiant light that formed clouds of quicksilver; and wherever this light penetrated, everything converted into light. It had the power, the strength to empty everything, filling everything with its most refulgent light. And Jesus added: “My daughter, there is nothing more penetrating than light. It diffuses everywhere with enchanting rapidity, bringing its beneficial effects to all those who let themselves be invested by it. The light refuses to do its good to no one, be they people, earth, water, plant or other things; its nature is to illuminate and to do good, and therefore it leaves no one behind – to all it brings its kiss of light and gives the good it contains. My Will is more than light; It diffuses everywhere and brings the good It contains; and the acts done in It form the atmosphere of gold and silver which has the virtue of emptying all the darkness of the night of the human will, and with its beneficial light, it brings the kiss of the Eternal Volition, to dispose the creatures to wanting to come into the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat. Each act of yours done in It is a new horizon that you make arise for the eye of the human intellect, to make it long for the light of the good that my Will possesses. My daughter, in order to prepare this Kingdom it takes work, it takes celestial laws, which are laws all of love. The laws of fears, of penalties, of condemnation do not enter into It, because the laws of love of My Will will be friendly, filial, of reciprocal love between Creator and creature. Therefore fears and condemnations will have neither force nor life; and if there will be some suffering, it will be full of triumph and of glory. Therefore, be attentive, because this is about making known a Celestial Kingdom – about manifesting Its secrets, Its prerogatives, Its goods, to draw souls to love It, long for It, and to take possession of It.”
From the Calendar--August 21, 1932 Volume 31
But I thought to myself: “What great thing is this little ‘I love You’ of mine that Jesus wants and Loves so much?”
And my beloved Jesus, all goodness, told me: “Little daughter of My Volition, you must know that I Love your ‘I love You,’ and I am always in the act of waiting for it. I Love you always, nor do I ever cease Loving you. And if you stop loving Me, I feel that I give you My continuous Love, and you do not give it to Me, and My Love feels as though robbed by you. On the contrary, when My ‘I Love you’ runs and finds yours prompt to give to Me and to receive My ‘I Love you,’ Mine feels repaid. And it happens that your ‘I love You’ gives Mine no time, nor does Mine give yours any time. A race, a contest of Love occurs between Creator and creature. More so, when I see that you are about to tell Me ‘I love You,’ My Will invests your ‘I love You’ to make it from little, great; and I find My Love in yours. How could I not Love and want it?
“Daughter, they are My usual stratagems, My industries, because I give in order to receive. This is My commerce: I love, I give love in order to receive love. And when I am not loved, My commerce is bankrupt, and since My passion is love, I neither tire, nor do I draw back. I begin all over. I repeat, I repeat the industries; I abound with stratagems and with tenderness in order to redo My bankrupt love in the creature. O! if you knew how wounded and sorrowful My Heart is when I say ‘I Love you,’ and she does not hear My call that I make her in order to have hers.
“In addition to this, you must know that love is the blood of the soul, and My Will the life. And just as in the natural order life cannot function without blood, and blood cannot circulate if there isn’t a life—and according to the abundance of blood, so one enjoys health—the same in the supernatural order. The soul and My Divine Will cannot function without the blood of love. However more love there is, so much more will the soul feel strong, robust, and active in operating. Otherwise, she will suffer anemia and end in consumption.
“So, when there is not enough blood of love, My very Will, for however much it is life, becomes sick and inoperative in the soul, because she lacks the blood of love in order to function. All virtues are made anemic, and patience, strength, sanctity, all these virtues are seen faded, changed into defects. Therefore, there is much anemia in the world, because it lacks the pure blood of My Love, and accordingly they go toward a terrible consumption that brings them to ruin in the soul and in the body.
“This is why I love your ‘I love You’ so much, and I want it in all My acts, in all created things, and in every act of the creature in order to be able to form much blood as antidote and remedy to the anemia that exists, and this will be preparatory to the Kingdom of My Will. Therefore I feel the need of your love. It is true that it is little, but I do not look at whether it is little or great, rather I look at whether it was done in the power of My Will, which makes the littlest acts great for Me, and invests them with such beauty as to enrapture Me. Therefore it is enough for you to know that I want it, it pleases Me, and makes Me content, for you to do it, whether I see it as being little or great. And this ‘I love You’ of yours I want in the heartbeat of your heart, in the air that you breathe, in the heavens, in the sun, in sum, in everything. O! how I would want to see that your ‘I love You’ invests Heaven and earth, creatures and Creator.”
