Then He added: “My daughter, life, sanctity, consists in two acts: God giving His Will, and the creature receiving It; and after she has formed within herself the life of that Act of Divine Will that she has received, giving It back again as act of her will, to then receive It again. Giving and receiving, receiving and giving — everything is in this. God could not give more than His continued Act of His Will to the creature; the creature could not give more to God — for as much as it is possible for a creature — than His Divine Will, received into herself as formation of Divine Life. In this way — giving and receiving, receiving and giving — My Divine Fiat takes dominion and forms Its Kingdom in her; and the whole interior of the creature forms as though the people of the Kingdom of the Divine Will: the intelligence, faithful people that glories in being directed by the Sovereign Commander of the Divine Fiat; and the crowd of the thoughts that press themselves around, and aspire to know always more, and to love the great King who sits, as though on a throne, in the center of the intelligence of the creature. The desires, the affections, the heartbeats that are unleashed from the heart, increase the number for the people of My Kingdom; and — oh! how they throng around Its Throne; they all stand at attention to receive the Divine Orders and even lay down their life in order to execute them.

“What an obedient, orderly people is the people of the Kingdom of My Fiat. There are no contentions, no disagreements, but this whole crowd of people of the interior of this fortunate creature wants one thing alone, and like a fierce army, it posts itself in the fortresses of the Kingdom of My Divine Will. Then, when the interior of the creature becomes all My people, it bursts out of the interior and increases the people of the words, the people of the works, of the steps. It can be said that each act formed by this celestial people contains the password, written in characters of gold: ‘Will of God.’ And when this crowd of people moves to exercise each its own office, they put at the front the flag with the motto ‘Fiat,’ followed by the words, written with vivid light: ‘We belong to the Great King of the Supreme Fiat.’ See then, each creature who lets herself be dominated by My Will forms a people for the Kingdom of God.”

I feel my little and poor mind as though fixed in the Divine Fiat. I feel all the strength of the sweet enchantment of the light of Its truths, the enchanting scenes of all the prodigies and varieties of beauties It contains; and even if I wanted to think about something else, I lack the time to do it, because the Sea of the Divine Volition murmurs always, and Its murmuring deafens and strikes dumb all other things, and keeps me plunged into Its Sea, to murmur together with It. Oh! Power! oh! sweet enchantment of the Eternal Volition! How admirable and lovable You are! And so I would want everyone to murmur together with me, and I prayed the Sovereign Queen to give me the murmuring of Her love, of Her kisses, so as to give them back to Jesus, because I had received Communion and I felt that, in order to please Jesus, I wanted to give Him the kisses of His Mama.

And my always lovable Jesus, moving and making Himself felt in my interior, told me: “My daughter, everything that the Queen of Heaven did is all in that Divine Fiat that She had the glory, the honor to possess. It can be said that all of Her acts are enveloped within the endless Sea of the Divine Volition, and swim in It like the fish swim in the sea; and the soul who lives in It makes arise not only all the acts of My Celestial Mama, but she makes arise again, and puts in the field, all the works of her Creator. Only one who lives in My Will can sit at the Divine table, can open all His treasures, can enter into the sacrarium of the most intimate secrets of the Divine hiding places, and, as the owner, takes them and gives them back to her Creator.

“And, oh! how many things she puts in motion. She makes them arise, and places all the Divine works in attitude, and now she plays a Divine melody, now she performs a scene, of the most beautiful and touching, now she puts all of His Love in motion, and making it arise again, she forms an enchanting scene, all of love, for Her Creator. So, she is the renewer of all joys and happinesses for Her Creator.

“See, as you wanted to give Me the kisses of the Queen Mama, you put them in motion and they ran to kiss Me. It happens to one who lives in My Divine Will as to someone who entered into a royal palace, and the king who lives in it has music concerts, objects with which to form the most beautiful scenes, and works of art of varied beauty. Now, the person who enters, sits at the music concert and plays. Attracted by that sound, the king runs and goes to listen to the sonata. Then, seeing that the king enjoys it, that person moves on and puts the objects in motion, putting the scene in action. The king remains enraptured, and even though he knows that those are his own things, yet, it was that person who put them in motion in order to give him pleasure.

“So it is for one who lives in My Divine Fiat. She enters into the Royal Palace of her Celestial Father, and finding many varied beauties, she puts them in motion, to gladden, delight and love He who let her in. And since there is no good that My Eternal Volition does not possess, there is no joy, love, glory that the soul cannot give to her Creator. And, oh! how pleasing she is to Us, as We see this fortunate creature in Our Royal Palace of Our Divine Volition, who wants to take everything, wants to put everything in motion, wants to touch everything. …”

From the Calendar--October 24, 1929 Volume 27

I was feeling all abandoned in the Divine Fiat, following and offering all of Its acts, both of Creation and of Redemption, and as I reached the Conception of the Word, I said to myself: “How I would like, in the Divine Will, to make the Conception of the Word my own, to be able to offer to the Supreme Being the love, the glory, the satisfaction as if the Word were being conceived once again.”

But while I was saying this, sweet Jesus moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, in My Divine Will the soul has everything in her power; there is nothing that Our Divinity has done, both in Creation and in Redemption, whose fount Our Divine Fiat does not possess. In fact, It disperses nothing of Our Acts, but rather, It is the depository of everything; and one who possesses Our Divine Volition possesses the fount of My Conception, of My birth, of My tears, of My steps, of My works — of everything. Our Acts are never exhausted, and as she remembers and wants to offer My Conception, My Conception is renewed as if I were being conceived again; I rise again to new birth; My tears, My pains, My steps and works rise again to new life and repeat the great good that I did in Redemption.

“So, one who lives in Our Divine Will is the repeater of Our works, because just as nothing in the Creation has been dispersed of what was created, so is everything of Redemption in act of arising continuously. But who gives Us the spur? Who gives Us the occasion to move Our founts in order to renew Our works? One who lives in Our Will. By virtue of It, the creature takes part in Our creative strength, therefore she can make everything rise again to new life. With her acts, with her offerings, with her supplications, she moves Our founts continuously, that, moved as though by a pleasant breeze, form the waves, and overflowing with Our Acts, multiply and grow to infinity.

“Our founts are symbolized by the sea: if the wind does not agitate it, if the waves are not formed, the waters do not overflow outside and the cities do not get wet. The same with Our founts of Our so many works: if Our Divine Fiat does not want to move them, or if one who lives in It gives no thought to forming any breeze with her acts, even though they are filled to the brim, they do not overflow outside to multiply their goods for the good of creatures.

“In addition to this, with one who lives in Our Divine Fiat, as she keeps forming her acts, these acts ascend to the beginning from which the creature came out; they do not remain down below, but ascend so very high, to look for the bosom of Him from whom the first act of her existence came out. These acts line up around the beginning, that is God, as Divine acts. In seeing the acts of the creature in His Divine Will, God recognizes them as His Acts, and feels loved and glorified as He wants, with His very Love and with His own Glory.”

From the Calendar--October 23, 1917 Volume 12

This morning, after I received blessed Jesus, I was saying to Him: “My life, Jesus, tell me: what was the first act that You did when You received Yourself sacramentally?’ And Jesus: "My daughter, the first act I did was to multiply My Life into many lives, for as many creatures as can exist in the world, so that each one of them might have one Life of Mine only for herself; a Life that continuously prays, thanks, satisfies, loves only for her. In the same way, I multiplied My pains for each soul, as if I were suffering only for her, and not for others. In that supreme moment of receiving Myself, I gave Myself to all, to suffer My Passion in each heart, to be able to conquer the hearts by dint of pains and of love. In giving all My Divinity, I came to take the dominion of all. But, alas! My Love remained disappointed by many; and I anxiously await loving hearts which, in receiving Me, would unite with Me to multiply themselves in everyone, desiring and wanting what I want, so that I may take at least from them what the others do not give to Me, and receive the contentment of having them as conformed to My desire and to My Will. Therefore, My daughter, when you receive Me, do what I did, and I will receive the contentment that at least the two of us want the same thing."

From the Calendar--October 22, 1933 Volume 32

I felt little, little, so much as to not know how to move a step, and having received Holy Communion, I felt the need, being little, of taking refuge in the arms of Jesus in order to tell Him: “I love You, I love You very much,” not knowing how to say anything else, being such a rather ignorant one.

But my sweet Jesus waited that I would tell Him more, and I added: “Jesus, I love You together with the love of Our Celestial Mama.”

And Jesus told me: “How sweet, refreshing, it is to Me to feel Myself Loved together with the Love of the daughter and of Our Mama. I feel Her Maternal Tendernesses, Her outpourings of Love, Her chaste embraces, Her ardent kisses that, pouring themselves into the daughter, Mama and daughter love Me, they kiss Me, and they clasp Me in their arms with a single embrace. To find together with My Celestial Mama the daughter who wants to Love Me, and she Loves Me as My Mama Loves Me, are My most dear delights, My outpourings of Love, and I find the most welcome exchange for so many excesses of My Love. But, tell Me, together with who else do you want to Love Me?”

And He was silent, waiting that I would tell Him together with someone else that I wanted to Love Him.

And I, almost a little embarrassed, added: “My Divine Jesus, I want to love You together with the Father and with the Holy Spirit.”

But it seemed that He was not yet content.

And I: “I want to love You together with all the Angels and Saints.”

And He: “And with who else?”

“With all the wayfarers even to the last creature who will exist on the earth. I want to bring You everyone and everything, even the sky, the sun, the wind, the sea, in order to love You together with everyone.” And Jesus all Love, because it seemed that He could not contain the flames, added: “My daughter, here is My Heaven in the creature: The Sacrosanct Trinity who cedes Its Love in order to Love Me together with her. The Angels and Saints who compete to cede their Love in order to Love Me together with her. This is the Great Act, to bring everyone into the All that is God, and the All into everyone. Your littleness, your infant ways in My Divine Will, embrace everyone and everything. You want to give Me everything, even the Adorable Trinity Itself, and since you are little, no one wants to deny you anything, rather they unite themselves with you and they Love together with the little tiny one. And by bringing Me everyone into the All, and by Loving Me, you diffuse the All into everyone. My Love being bond of union and of inseparability, I find everything in the soul: My Paradise, My Works, and everything. And I can say: ‘Nothing is lacking to Me, neither Heaven, nor My Celestial Mama, nor the cortege of the Angels and Saints; all are with Me, and all Love Me.’ These are the stratagems and loving industries of the one who Loves Me, and who calls everyone; she asks for Love from everyone in order to Love Me and make Me Loved by everyone.”

From the Calendar--October 21, 1901 Volume 4

This morning, on coming, blessed Jesus seemed to be making a circle with His arms almost to enclose me inside of it; and while clasping me, He told me: "My daughter, when the soul does everything for Me, everything remains enclosed in this circle – nothing goes out, be it even a sigh, a heartbeat, or just any movement. Everything enters into Me, and in Me everything is numbered. And I, as recompense, pour them back into the soul, but all doubled with grace, in such a way that, as the soul pours them once again into Me, and I into her, she comes to acquire a surprising capital of grace. All this is My way of delighting — that is, to give to the creature what she has given Me as if it were her own, always adding from My own. One who, with his ingratitude, prevents Me from giving what I want, prevents My innocent delights. If then one does not operate for Me, everything goes out of My circle, dispersed, like dust by a mighty wind.“

From the Calendar--October 20, 1931 Volume 29

Oh! Divine Will, make Yourself known, possessed and loved, so that all may be happy — but of celestial happiness, not terrestrial.

But while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus, making His little visit, told me: “My daughter, for each act that you do in My Divine Will, so many steps you take toward God, and God takes His steps toward you. The step of the creature is the call that moves the Divine Step to go to meet her; and since We never let Ourselves be beaten or surpassed by her acts, if she takes one step, We take five — ten, because Our Love, being greater than her own, hastens — multiplies the steps, to make the encounter sooner and dive one into the other. Even more, many times it is We who move the step in order to call the step of the creature to come to Us; We want Our creature, We want to give her something of Our own, We want her to resemble Us, We want to render her happy, and therefore We tread the step to call her. And one who is in Our Will—oh! how she hears the sweet treading of Our Steps and runs to come to Us, to receive the fruits of Our Steps. …”

From the Calendar--October 19, 1937 Volume 35

… So I felt concerned thinking: How is it that Its motion is Word?

And my sweet Jesus, visiting my poor soul, all Love told me: “Blessed daughter of the Divine Volition, know that where My Will reigns with Its Creative Power, Its motion and Its Word, It speaks in the works, in the steps, in the mind, in the breathing.... Wanting to establish Its Kingdom, My Will speaks in order to create Its Divine Life in each one of the acts of the creature. Therefore, it takes the greatest attention to sense where It wants to begin Its teachings.

“By the power of Its Word, Its Will Invests the human act — the breathing, the heartbeat, the thinking and the human word; and forms within it, Its Divine work — the Breathing, the Heartbeat, the Thinking and the Divine Word. These acts rise up to Heaven and present themselves before the Most Holy Trinity. Our Divinity looks at them, and what do We find? We find Ourselves, Our Life and even the Most Holy Trinity reproduced in these Acts. We look at the prodigy of Our Will that overwhelmed the creature with Its Power, making of her the repetition of Our own Life. O, how happy, how enraptured We remain, because We find in her the Sanctity that resembles Us, Our Love that Loves Us, the Intelligence that understands Us, Our Power and Goodness that move Us to Love mankind through the bonds of Our Sweetness. We recognize Ourselves in her, finding the Work of creation as We want It to be.

“A single one of these Acts contains such wonders that they just can’t find enough room in which to place themselves, such is their greatness. Only in Our Immensity can they find the place in which to stay, remaining fused with Our Acts. What will Our Glory and the glory of the creature not be, since her acts, by virtue of Our Fiat, have their place within the Acts of her Creator? O, if all knew what it means to Live in the Divine Will, to let It reign, they would compete with each other to be invested by It and become repeaters of Divine Life.”

I spent a day distracted because of a few things I heard — which it is not necessary here to say — and also a little disturbed; and as much as I tried, I could not free myself. So, for the entire day I did not see my sweet Jesus, the Life of my soul, as if the disturbance were a veil which, placing itself between me and Him, prevented me from being able to see Him. Then, late at night, my mind, tired, calmed itself and my lovable Jesus, as if He were waiting, made Himself seen and, sorrowful, told me: "My daughter, today with your disturbance you have prevented the Sun of My Person from rising in you. Disturbance is cloud between Me and you, which prevents the rays from descending in you. And if the rays do not descend, how can you see the Sun? If you knew what it means not to let My Sun rise, and what great harm this is for you and for the whole world, you would well be attentive never to trouble yourself. In fact, it is always nighttime for disturbed souls, and at night the Sun does not rise. On the other hand, it is always daylight for the peaceful ones, and at whatever hour My Sun wants to rise, the soul is always ready to receive the good of My coming.

“Then, disturbance is nothing other than lack of abandonment in Me, and I want you so abandoned in My arms that you must not have even one thought for yourself — I will take care of everything. Do not fear; your Jesus cannot do without taking care of you, keeping you sheltered from all. You cost Me much — much have I placed in you. I alone have right over you. Therefore, if the rights are Mine, the custody will be all Mine. So, be at peace and do not fear."

From the Calendar--October 17, 1926 Volume 20

So, while going around, thinking of the great good that the Supreme Volition brings to the soul, I prayed to Jesus that He would soon make It known to all, so that they might take part in such a great good. And in order to obtain this, as I reached each created thing, I said to Him: “I come into the sun to keep company with Your Will reigning and dominating in it, with all the splendor of Its majesty. But while I keep You company in the sun, I pray You that Your Eternal Fiat be known, and just as It reigns triumphantly in the sun, It may come to reign triumphantly in the midst of creatures.

“See, the sun also is praying You — all of its light turns into prayer, and as it extends over the earth and invests plants and flowers, mountains and plains, seas and rivers with its light, it prays that Your Fiat may be one upon earth, harmonizing with all creatures. So, I am not the only one who is praying, but it is the power of Your very Will reigning in the sun that is praying. The light is praying; its innumerable effects, the goods, the colors it contains, are praying — all are praying that Your Fiat may reign over all. Can You resist such a great mass of light, that prays with the power of Your own Will?

“And I, little as I am, while keeping You company in this sun, bless, adore, glorify Your adorable Will, with that magnificence and glory with which Your own Will glorifies Itself in Its works. So, only in the creatures is Your Will not to find the perfect glory of Its works? Therefore, come — may Your Fiat come.”

From the Calendar--October 16, 1923 Volume 16

Now, while I was swimming in the immense sea of the pain of His privation, my Jesus moved in my interior, and taking my hands in His, pressed them tightly to His Heart and told me: "My daughter, in order for My Will to descend upon earth, it is necessary that your will raise up to Heaven. And in order to raise up to Heaven and to live in the Celestial Fatherland, it is necessary to empty it of all that is human, of all that is not holy, pure and upright. Nothing can enter into Heaven to live a communal life with Us, if it has not been completely divinized and transformed into Us; nor can My Divine Will descend upon earth and carry out Its Life as within Its own center, if It does not find the human will emptied of everything, in order to fill it with all the goods which My Will contains... It will be nothing other than a most thin veil, which will serve Me to cover Myself and to dwell within it, almost like a Consecrated Host, in which I form My Life, and I do all the good I want – I pray, I suffer, I enjoy. And the Host does not oppose; it leaves Me free. Its office is to be there to keep Me hidden, and in mute silence, to comply to preserve My Sacramental Life. This is the point we are at: your will is about to enter Heaven, and Mine is about to descend upon earth. Therefore, yours must have life no longer; it must have no reason to exist.

“This happened to My Humanity, which, though having a human will, was all intent on giving life to the Divine Will. It never decided by itself, not even to breathe, but it took and gave also its breath in the Divine Will. And so the Eternal Will reigned in My Humanity on earth as It does in Heaven; It lived Its terrestrial Life in it, and My human will, fully sacrificed to the Divine, impetrated that, at the appropriate time, It would descend upon earth, to live in the midst of creatures, just as It lives in Heaven. Don’t you want to give My Will the first place on earth?"

Now, while He was saying this, I seemed to find myself in Heaven, and as though from one single point, I could see all generations; and prostrating myself before the Supreme Majesty, I took the reciprocal Love of the Divine Persons, their perfect adoration, the ever unique Sanctity of their Will, and I offered them in the name of all as the return of love, adoration, submission and union which every creature should give to her Creator. I wanted to unite Heaven and earth — Creator and creature, that they might embrace and exchange the supreme kiss of the union of their wills.

Then my Jesus added: "This is your task – to live in Our midst and to make all that is Ours your own, giving it to Us on behalf of your brothers; so that, drawn by what is Ours, We may be bound to the human generations, and give them the supreme kiss of the union of their wills to Ours, which We gave to man in Creation."

From the Calendar--October 15, 1933 Volume 32

So I thought to myself: “But what becomes of this Holy Volition that has so much interest of forming Its Life in the creature, that It moves Heaven and earth in order to obtain Its Intent? And what difference is there between the Divine Will as Life, and the Divine Will as effect?”

And my always Lovable Jesus, clasping me in His arms, with an unspeakable goodness told me: “My blessed daughter, there is nothing more beautiful, more welcome, and that pleases and glorifies Us more, than to form the Life of Our Divine Volition in the creature. In her is formed a little paradise where Our Supreme Being delights to descend in order to make His sojourn. Do you see, instead of one paradise We have two, in which We find Our harmonies, the beauty that enraptures Us, the pure joys that double Our happiness, because of having formed an additional Life of Ours in the little circle of the creature. In this paradise, for however little, for as much as the creature can be capable of, We find everything; everything is Ours. Rather We find the littleness that enamors Us more, and We contemplate Our divine art, that in the little, by the virtue of Our power, We have enclosed the great. We can say that by Our labyrinth of love We have transmuted things: the great in the little, and the little in the great. Without a divine prodigy of Ours, We could not form either Our Life or Our paradise in the creature. And does it seem little to you to have one more life of Ours, and a doubled paradise at Our disposal, in order to make Us all the more happy?

“You must know that neither the sky, nor the sun, nor all Creation, cost Us so much. Nor have We placed either so much mastery of art, or so much love, as We placed in forming Our Life all of Our Will in the creature, in order to form for Ourselves one more paradise to patronize at Our leisure and enjoy Our delights. The sky, the sun, the sea, the wind, and everything, narrates He who has created them. They point to Us, they make Us known, they glorify Us, but they do not give Us one life of Ours, nor do they form one other paradise of Ours for Us; rather, they serve her or him in whom Our paternal goodness has taken the commitment of forming Our Life. …”

From the Calendar--October 14, 1909 Volume 9

Then, since Father had called me, I returned into myself. Then, as the confessor celebrated Holy Mass, I received Communion, and Jesus came back. I lamented to Jesus that He was not coming as before; that the great love He had for me seemed to have turned into coldness... “It is true that as I lament to You, You always give excuses – that You want to chastise and this is why You do not come; but I don’t believe it. Who knows what evil there is in my soul, and because of it You do not come. Tell me at least, for at any cost, even of giving my life, I will remove it; but without You I cannot be. Think what You want; in this way I cannot go on – either with You on earth, or with You in Heaven.” And blessed Jesus, interrupting me, told me: "Calm yourself, calm yourself, I am not far away from you, but I am always with you. You do not always see Me, but I am always with you; even more, I am in your inmost heart in order to rest, and as you look for Me and bear My privations with patience, you surround Me with flowers to cheer Me and make Me rest more peacefully."

And while He was saying this, it seemed that there were many varieties of flowers around Jesus, which almost concealed Him. Then He added: "You don’t believe that I keep you deprived of Me in order to chastise; yet it is so. When you least expect it, you will hear of the things that will happen." And while saying this, He showed me, in the world, wars, revolutions against the Church, churches on fire – and this was almost imminent.

From the Calendar--October 13, 1906 Volume 7

As I was in my usual state, my good Jesus made Himself seen for a little while, and He told me: "My daughter, in order to know whether a soul is stripped of everything, it is enough to see this: if holy or even indifferent desires arise within her and she is ready to sacrifice them to the Divine Volition with holy peace, it means that she is stripped; but if she becomes disturbed and upset, it means that she is keeping something for herself."

Hearing the word "desire", I said: “My highest Good, my desire is that I would rather not write any more. How it weighs on me – if it wasn’t for fear of going out of Your Will and of displeasing You, I would not do it.” And He, breaking my words off, added: "You do not want it, and I want it. That which I say to you, and which you write out of obedience, for now, serves as a mirror for you and for those who take part in directing you; but the time will come when it will serve as a mirror for others. So, that which you write, spoken by Me, can be called ‘Divine Mirror’. And you would want to take this Divine Mirror away from My creatures? Watch it, seriously, My daughter, and do not want to restrict this Mirror of Grace by not writing everything." On hearing this, I remained confused and humiliated, with a great repugnance to write these last words of His, but obedience absolutely imposed it on me, and only to obey, I wrote. Deo Gratias.

Then, I continued following the acts of the Divine Will, and as I arrived at the point when It called the Sovereign Queen out from nothing, I stopped to comprehend Her—all beautiful, majestic. Her rights of Queen extended everywhere; Heaven and earth bent their knees to recognize Her as Empress of everyone and of everything. And I, from the bottom of my heart, venerated and loved the Sovereign Lady, and, as the little one I am, I wanted to make a jump onto Her maternal knees, to say to Her: “Holy Mama, all beautiful are you, and you are so because you lived of Divine Will. O please! you who possess It—pray It to descend upon earth and to come to reign in the midst of your children.”

But while I was doing this, my adored Jesus added: “My daughter, even if My Mother had not been My Mother, only because She did the Divine Will perfectly and knew no other life, and lived in the fullness of It, by virtue of Her continuous living in My Fiat, She would have possessed all the Divine prerogatives—She would still be Queen, the most beautiful of all creatures. In fact, wherever My Divine Fiat reigns, It wants to give everything, It holds nothing back; even more, It loves the creature so much that, making use of Its loving stratagems, It hides, It makes Itself little within her, loving to be knocked out by her. Indeed, was is not a knocking out of the Divine Volition that the Sovereign Queen of Heaven did, as She reached the point of making Me be conceived and of hiding Me in Her womb? Oh! if all knew what My Divine Will is able to do and can do, they would make all sacrifices in order to live only of My Will.”

[Our Lady speaking] “…My daughter, what a war is being nourished in the moral world – it is horrifying to see it! Yet, the first nourishment that should be sought in society, in families and by each soul, should be that of peace. All other nourishments become unhealthy without it – be they even virtues themselves, charity, repentance; without peace, they bring neither health nor true sanctity. Yet, this nourishment so necessary and salutary has been discarded by today’s world, and they want nothing but turbulence and wars. My daughter, pray, pray."

From the Calendar--October 10, 1928 Volume 25

Now I move on to say that my sweet Jesus seemed to be waiting for me here, in this house, near His tabernacle of love, to give start to priests’ coming to a decision to prepare the writings for publication. And while they were consulting with one another on how to do it, they were reading the nine excesses of Jesus, that He had in the Incarnation, that are narrated in the first little volume of my writings. Now, while they were reading, Jesus, in my interior, pricked up His ears to listen, and it seemed to me that Jesus in the tabernacle would do the same. At each word He would hear, His Heart beat more strongly; and at each excess of His Love, He gave a start, even stronger, as if the strength of His Love would make Him repeat all those excesses that He had in the Incarnation.

And as though unable to contain His flames, He told me: “My daughter, everything I have told you, both about My Incarnation and about My Divine Will, and on other things, has been nothing but outpourings of My contained Love. But after pouring itself out with you, My Love continued to remain repressed, because it wanted to raise its flames higher in order to invest all hearts and make known what I have done and want to do for creatures; but since everything I have told you lies in hiddenness, I feel a nightmare over My Heart, that compresses Me and prevents My flames from rising and making their way.

“This is why, as I heard them read and take the decision to occupy themselves with the publication, I felt the nightmare being removed from Me, and the weight that compresses the flames of My Heart being lifted. And so It beat more strongly, and It throbbed, and It made you hear the repetition of all those excesses of love; more so, since what I do once, I repeat always. My constrained Love is a pain for Me, of the greatest, that renders Me taciturn and sad, because, since My first flames have no life, I cannot release the others, that devour Me and consume Me. And therefore, to those priests who want to occupy themselves with removing this nightmare from Me by making known My many secrets, by publishing them, I will give so much surprising grace, strength in order to do it, and light in order to know, themselves first, what they will make known to others. I will be in their midst, and will guide everything.”

Now, it seems to me that every time the reverend priests occupy themselves with reviewing the writings in order to prepare them, my sweet Jesus comes to attention, to see what they do and how they do it. I do nothing but admire the goodness, the love of my Beloved Jesus who, while coming to attention in my heart, echoes in the tabernacle, and from within it, inside that cell, does what He does inside my heart. I remain all confused in seeing this, and I thank Him with all my heart.

From the Calendar--October 9, 1922 Volume 14

Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus came all tenderness, clasped me in His arms, kissed me, and said to me, who knows how many times: "My daughter, the daughter of My Will, how dear you are to Me... Listen: as your will enters into Mine, it empties itself of you, and Mine enters, acting in you; and as Mine acts, yours receives the strength of the Creative Power and remains acting in Me. And since I am one single point, containing everything, embracing everything, doing everything, I see your will acting in Me with My own Creative Power, wanting to give Me everything and repay Me for all. And to My highest contentment I see it before Me from the very first instant in which I delivered the whole Creation. Leaving all behind, it comes forward, as if you were the first one to be created by Me, in whom no splitting of wills exists between Me and you — just as I would have wanted the first man to be — and it gives Me honor, glory, love, as if Creation had not gone out of My Will. What taste, what contentment I feel! You cannot understand it. The order of Creation is given back to Me; the harmonies, the joys, alternate together. I see this human will acting in Me in the light of the Sun, upon the waves of the sea, in the flickering of the stars — in everything; and it gives Me the glory of all the goods which these created things give to man. What happiness! It resembles Me in everything, with this difference: I am one single point; and you, little by little, as you keep operating, thinking, speaking, loving in my Will, take more space and form Divine births."

As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: "My daughter, the cross is to the creature as the rein to the horse. What would happen to the horse if man did not use the rein? It would be untamed, unrestrained, and would but go from precipice to precipice, to the point of becoming fierce and noxious to man and to itself. On the other hand, with the rein it can be conducted, it becomes tame, walks straight, serves the needs of man as a faithful friend, and stays safe from any precipice, because man keeps it and protects it. Such is the cross to man. The cross tames him, restrains him, arrests the course of his hurling himself along the paths of passions which he feels within himself, and which devour him like fire. So, instead of raging against God and hurting himself, the cross dampens his passions, softens him, conducts him, and serves the glory of God and his own salvation. Oh, if it wasn’t for the cross which, by Its mercy, Divine Providence holds as a rein in order to restrain man – oh, amid how many more evils would one see poor humanity lie!"

Then, the evening came of this day consecrated to the Queen of the Rosary, Queen of victories and of triumphs. And this is another beautiful sign that, just as the Sovereign Lady conquered Her Creator, and bejeweling Him with Her chains of love, She drew Him from Heaven to earth, to make Him form the Kingdom of Redemption, so will the sweet and powerful beads of Her rosary make Her victorious and triumphant again before the Divinity, conquering the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat, to make It come into the midst of creatures.
