Continuing in my usual state, my adorable Jesus made Himself seen Crucified, with a soul near Him, who was offering herself to Jesus as a victim. And Jesus told me: "My daughter, I accept you as a victim of pain. All that you will be able to suffer you will suffer as if you were with Me on the Cross, and you will release Me with your sufferings. Many times this escapes you: releasing Me with your sufferings. But know that I was a peaceful Victim and Host; you too — I don’t want you an oppressed victim, but peaceful and joyful. You will be like a docile little lamb, and your bleating — that is your prayers, sufferings and works — will serve to soothe My embittered wounds."

Continuing in my usual state, I was searching, and with anxiousness, for my always lovable Jesus; and, all goodness, He came and told me: "Beloved daughter of My Will, do you want to come into My Will and substitute in a divine manner for the many acts which have not been done by our brothers, for many others done humanly, and for other acts, holy, yes, but human and not done in the divine order? I did everything in the divine order, but I am not yet content; I want the creature to enter My Will and to come to kiss My acts in a divine manner, substituting for all, just as I did. Therefore, come — come; I long for it, I desire it so much that I put Myself in feast when I see that the creature enters into this divine environment, and multiplying herself with Me, she multiplies in everyone, and loves, repairs, substitutes for all and for each one in a divine manner. I no longer recognize human things in her, but all My things. My Love rises and multiplies Itself; reparations multiply to infinity; substitutions are divine. What joy! What feast! The Saints themselves unite with Me and make feast, ardently waiting for a sister of theirs to substitute for their own acts, holy in the human order, but not in the divine order. They pray Me to soon let this creature enter this divine environment, and that all of their acts be substituted only with the Divine Will, and with the mark of the Eternal One. I did this for all; now I want you to do it for all."

[Jesus speaking] “We want to use the Creative Virtue, but We want that she knows it and receives it. We want to use the Redemptive Virtue if sin tyrannizes her, but We want that she feel the Good that We want to make her, and receive it with love and gratitude. We want to use the Sanctifying Virtue, but We want that she lend herself to receiving the transformation of Our Holy Acts in hers, in order to receive Our Sanctifying Virtue. If the soul doesn’t remain together with Us, and doesn’t unite her little work to Our Great Work, it would be for Us as if We wanted to develop Our Work of Love over inanimate things that neither feel nor know anything of the Good that they receive; and for them He would be as a distant God, whom they neither know nor love.
“You must know that Our Love is so great, that all creatures swim and are inside of this immense Sea of Our Love. And as if We were not contented with so much Immensity of this Love of Ours, Our Supreme Being acts as a fisherman and goes fishing for the little tiny drops of love from creatures, their little acts, their little sacrifices, the pains suffered for Our Love, and one ‘I love You’ from the heart that she has told Us. We fish for all from inside Our same Sea in order to take the Contentment, the Happiness of being reciprocated with love by the creature. And We crave it so much, that We make of it Our daily Fishing and prepare Our Celestial Table. …”

And while my mind was wandering, as though enraptured in the sweet enchantment of the Divine Volition, My Love, My Life, Jesus, the Celestial Teacher, who charms with His lovely speaking on His own Will, making Himself seen, told me: “My little daughter of My Will, the creature cannot live, either soul or body, without My Divine Will; and since It is her first act of life, she finds herself in the condition either of receiving Its act of continuous life from It, or of not being able to have existence. And since man was created for him to live in the opulence of the goods of this Divine Will, his beloved inheritance, he was therefore created for him to live of Us and in Our house, like a son who lives with his father. Otherwise, how could he be Our amusement, Our joy and happiness, if he were not to live close to Us, together with Us in Our Divine Will? A son who is far away cannot form the joy of his father, his smile, his amusement, his intimate conversation. From afar, they cannot play together or smile with happiness; on the contrary, the mere distance breaks the love and brings the bitterness of not being able to enjoy the beloved.
“See, then, man was created to live in intimacy with Us, in Our house, in Our own Will, for Us to secure Our joys and perennial happiness as well as his. But man, Our son, though he was happy in the house of his Father, rebelled and went out of his Paternal house, and by doing his will he lost the smile of his Father, His pure joys; and since he could not live without the concourse of Our Divine Will, We acted as Father and gave him the legal share of Our Divine Will—no longer as life, that carried him on Its lap to render him happy and holy, but as concurring, to preserve him alive—not to make him happy as before, but to give him the things of strict necessity and according to how he would behave.
“Without My Divine Will there cannot be life. And this is why so little is known about My Divine Fiat, because it is Its mere legal share that creatures know, and many times this legal share is not even recognized completely, because one who lives of the legal share does not live in the house of his Father; he is far away from Him, and many times he finds himself in the condition of spoiling with unworthy acts the very legal share he received. Therefore, do not be surprised if little is known about My Divine Will, if one does not live in It, if one is not in continuous contact to receive Its life that makes one happy, that sanctifies and, one being close to It, opens Its secrets and makes Itself known—who It is, what It can give to the creature, and how It yearns to keep her on Its lap to form in her Its Divine Life. More so since, by doing his will, man placed himself in the condition of a servant, not of an heir, and a servant has no right to the inheritance of his master, but to the miserable compensation for him to live life with hardship.
“Therefore, My daughter, it can be said that with you I have opened the doors, to let you enter to live in Our house, in Our Divine Will. And keeping you with Us, We have manifested to you so much about Our Divine Volition—not as the legal share, but as Our fortunate heiress.”
From the Calendar--February 10, 1924 Volume 16
[Jesus speaking] “Do you see how necessary it is to make them understand that complete abandonment is needed in order to live in My Will? And you say it is not necessary to write about it? I feel compassion for you, because you do not see what I see, and that’s why you take it lightly. Instead, in My All-seeingness, I see that these writings will be for My Church as a new Sun which will rise in her midst; and men, attracted by its radiant light, will strive to transform themselves into this light and become spiritualized and Divinized, and therefore, renewing the Church, they will transform the face of the earth.
“The doctrine on My Will is the purest, the most beautiful, not subject to any shadow of the material or of interest, either in the supernatural or in the natural order. Therefore, just like the Sun, It will be the most penetrating, the most fecund, and the most welcomed and appreciated. And being Light, It will make Itself understood and will make Its own way. It will not be subject to doubt or suspicions of error; and if some words will not be understood, it will be because of too much light, which, eclipsing the human intellect, will not allow them to understand the whole fullness of the Truth. However, they will not find one word which is not true. At the most, they will not be able to comprehend it fully.
“Therefore, in view of the good which I see, I push you to neglect nothing in writing. One saying, one effect, one simile on My Will can be like beneficial dew upon the souls, just as dew is beneficial on the plants after a day of burning sun, or like a pouring rain after long months of drought. You cannot understand all the good, the light, the strength contained in one word; but your Jesus knows it, and knows the ones whom it will serve and the good it will do."
Now, as He was saying this, He showed me a table in the midst of the Church, and all the writings on the Divine Will placed on it. Many venerable people surrounded that table and were transformed into light and divinized; and as they walked, they communicated that light to whomever they encountered. Then Jesus added: "You will see this great good from Heaven, when the Church will receive this celestial food, which will strengthen her and make her rise again to her full triumph."

Having received Communion, I was saying: “Lord, keep me always clasped to You, for I am too little, and if You do not keep me clasped, because I am little, I may get lost.” And He: "I want to teach you the way you must be with Me: first, you must enter into Me, transform yourself in Me, and take what you find in Me. Second, once you have filled yourself completely with Me, go out and operate together with Me, as if you and I were one single thing, in such a way that if I move, you move as well; if I think, you think of the same thing of which I am thinking – in sum, whatever I do, you do as well. Third, with these acts that we have done together, move away from Me for one instant, and go into the midst of creatures, giving to all and to each one everything we have done together – that is, giving My Divine Life to each one, and then quickly returning into Me to give Me, in the name of all, all the glory that they should give Me, praying, excusing them, repairing, loving... Ah, yes! Love Me for all, satiate Me with love! There are no passions in Me, but if there could be any passion, it would be only this and this alone: love. But love in Me is more than passion – it is My Life; and if passions can be destroyed, life cannot. See the necessity of being loved in which I find Myself. Therefore, love Me, love Me."
From the Calendar--February 8, 1911 Volume 10
And here is what I would say about Love, and what Jesus would say. I will say it with some nonsense and maybe also disconnected, because the mind does not adapt itself completely to words:
‘Oh! my Jesus, Love are You, You are all Love, and Love do I want, Love I desire, for Love I long;
Love I supplicate, and Love I implore of You.
Love invites me, Love is my life, Love kidnaps my heart
deep into the womb of my Lord.
With Love He inebriates me, with Love He delights me, I, all alone, and only for You!
You, alone and only for me!
Now that we are alone, shall we speak about Love?
O please! let me comprehend how much You love me, Because only in your Heart can one comprehend Love.’
"Do you want Me to speak to you of Love? Listen, My beloved daughter:
My Life is Love.
If I breathe, I love you;
If My Heart beats, My heartbeat says to you: Love, Love. I am mad with Love for you.
If I move, I add Love for you,
With Love I inundate you, with Love I surround you, with Love I caress you, with Love I dart through you.
With Love I flash through you, with Love I attract you, with Love I nourish you, and sharp arrows I send to your heart."
‘Enough, oh my Jesus, for now — I already feel faint with Love;
sustain me in Your arms, enclose me in Your Heart,
and from within Your Heart, let me too give vent to my Love; otherwise I die of Love.
With Love I rave, with Love I burn,
with Love I make feast, with Love I languish,
with Love I am consumed;
Love kills me and makes me rise again more beautiful to new life.
My life escapes me, and I feel only the Life of Jesus, my Love, and in Jesus, my Love, I feel immersed and I love everyone; He wounds me with Love, He makes me ill with Love,
with Love He embellishes me, and makes me ever more rich.
I can say nothing more.
Oh! Love, You alone understand me, You alone comprehend me,
my silence tells You even more.
In Your beautiful Heart one says more by keeping silent than by speaking;
and by loving, one learns how to love.
Love, Love - speak, You alone,
because being Love, You know how to speak of Love.’
"Do you want to hear Love?
All Creation tells you Love.
If the stars twinkle, they tell you Love;
if the sun rises, it gilds you with Love.
If it shines with all of its light in its full day,
it sends arrows of Love to your heart;
if the sun sets, it tells you: ‘It is Jesus that dies of Love for you.’
In the thunders and lightnings, I send you Love,
and smacking kisses I give to your heart.
It is Love that runs upon the wings of the winds;
if the waters murmur, I extend my arms to you;
if the leaves move, I clasp you to my Heart;
if the flower gives out its fragrance, I cheer you with Love.
All Creation, in mute language, tells you, in chorus:
‘From you alone do I want life of Love’.
Love do I want, Love I desire, for Love I beg from within your heart. I am only content if you give Me love."
‘My Good, my All, insatiable Love,
if You want Love, then give me Love;
if You want me happy, then speak to Me of Love; if You want me content, then render me Love.
Love invests me, Love makes me fly,
and brings me to the Throne of my Maker. Love shows me the uncreated Wisdom,
It leads me into the Eternal Love,
and there do I set my home.
Life of Love, I will live in Your Heart; I will love You for all,
I will love You with all,
I will love You in all.
Jesus, seal me completely with Love inside Your Heart;
empty my veins, and instead of blood, let Love flow in them;
take away my breath, and let me breathe air of Love;
burn my bones and flesh, and weave me completely — completely with Love.
May Love transform me, may Love conform me, may Love teach me how to suffer with You;
may Love crucify me,
and make me all similar to You.’
From the Calendar--February 7, 1926 Volume 18
I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition according to my usual way, and taking the eternal ‘I love you’ of my sweet Jesus, and making it my own, I was going around throughout the whole Creation in order to impress it upon each thing, so that everything and everyone might have one single note, one single sound, one single harmony – ‘I love You, I love You, I love You’ – for myself and for all, toward my Creator, who so much loved me. Now, while I was doing this, my lovable Jesus came out from within my interior, and pressing me to His Heart, all tenderness, told me: “My daughter, how beautiful is the ‘I love You’ of one who lives in My Will. I hear the echo of mine together with hers over all created things, therefore I feel the requital of love of the creature for everything I have done. And then, to love means to possess what one loves, or wanting to possess that which is loved. So, you love the whole Creation because It is Mine, and I let you love It because I want to make It yours. Your repeated ‘I love You’ for Me upon each created thing is the way and the right of possession – the right to possess them. In feeling loved, all Creation recognizes their master, and therefore they make feast in hearing your ‘I love You’ being repeated upon them. Love makes one recognize what is one’s own, and they give themselves only to those by whom they are loved; and My Will reigning in the soul is the confirmation that what is Mine is hers. Now, when something is in common between two persons, highest accord is needed, one cannot do without the other; and here is the necessity of their inseparable union, of continuous communications on what to do with what they possess. Oh! how My Will reigning in the soul raises her above everything; and loving with the love of a God, she can love all things with His very love, and is constituted possessor and queen of all Creation.
“My daughter, it is in this happy state that I created man; My Will was to make up for all that was lacking in him, and to raise him to the likeness of his Creator. And this is precisely My aim upon you — to make you return to the origin, as We created man. Therefore, I do not want division between Me and you, nor that what is Mine be not yours; but in order to give you your rights, I want you to recognize what is Mine, so that, as you love everything and your ‘I love You’ flows over all things, all of Creation may recognize you. They will feel in you the echo of the beginning of the creation of man, and delighting in it, they will yearn to be possessed by you. …”
From the Calendar--February 6, 1930 Volume 27
But while I was prey to so many thoughts, my highest and only Good, Jesus, clasping me all to Himself, with unspeakable tenderness, told me: “My daughter, My way of operating in your soul symbolizes the whole Creation. Great work was the Creation, but since Our works are orderly, We contented Ourselves with creating little things first—the heavens, the stars, the sun, the sea, the plants and everything else—that is, little in comparison with the creation of man, who was to surpass everything and hold supremacy over everything; and when things must serve he who must master them and be their king, as great as they might be or appear, they are always little compared to him whom they must serve.
“So, after the universe was created and all things were at their place of order, waiting for him around whom, like an ordered army, they were to line up so as to serve him and obey his wishes, We created man. All created things and his very Creator poured themselves over him to sing to him Our Eternal Loves, and say to Him: ‘We all have the mark of our Creator, and we pour it over you, who are His Image.’ Heaven and earth made complete feast, and Our very Divinity celebrated with so much love the creation of man, that at the mere memory of it, Our Love seethes so strongly that, overflowing, it forms immense seas around Us.
“Now, the Kingdom of My Divine Will is greater than the work of Creation, and therefore, it can be said, it is the call for Our Divine Being to operate more than Creation Itself. So, everything I did in your soul at the beginning symbolizes the Creation. I wanted you all to Myself and all Mine, so as to be free to do what I wanted; I wanted the void of everything in your soul, to be able to lay My heaven; and the many sayings on the virtues were stars that, practiced by you in the way wanted by Me, I used in order to adorn the heaven I had extended in you.
“Therefore, I wanted to redo in you and be repaid for everything evil and unworthy that the human family had done; in order to call back the Sun of My Divine Fiat, it was necessary to prepare with decorum she who was to receive, as the first, the Life of My Divine Will. This is why, then, I made flow seas of grace, the most beautiful flowerings, almost as in the creation of man, in whom My Divine Fiat was to reign. The same in you: everything I did placed itself in waiting, like a Divine army, to form the cortege of the Sun of My Eternal Will. And just as in Creation We abounded so much in creating so many things that were to serve man, but because this man was to let My Divine Will reign within himself, the same in you: everything has been done so that My Will would find Its place of honor and of glory.
“This is why it was necessary that first I was to prepare you with many graces and teachings, as little things compared to the great Sun of My Divine Volition, that, with Its many manifestations, while making Itself known, formed Its life in order to reign and form Its first Kingdom in the creature. Therefore, do not be surprised—this is the order of Our Wisdom and Providence, that does little things first and then the great, as cortege and as decorum of the great things. What does My Divine Fiat not deserve? What is not owed to It? And what has not been done by It? Therefore, when it is about My Will, or about making It known, Heaven and earth prostrate themselves, reverent, and all adore in mute silence even just one act of My Divine Will.”
From the Calendar--February 5, 1928 Volume 23
So, while I was thinking about the Kingdom of the Divine Will, and Its reigning upon earth seemed as though difficult to me, my Beloved Jesus, coming out from within my interior, told me: “My daughter, as Adam sinned, God made him the promise of the future Redeemer. Centuries passed, but the promise did not fail, and the generations had the good of Redemption. Now, as I came from Heaven and formed the Kingdom of Redemption, before departing for Heaven, I made another promise, more solemn, of the Kingdom of My Will; and this was in the ‘Our Father.’
“And so as to give it more value, and to obtain It more quickly, I made this formal promise in the solemnity of My prayer, praying the Father to let His Kingdom come, which is the Divine Will on earth as It is in Heaven. I placed My very Self at the head of this prayer, knowing that such was His Will, and that, prayed by Me, He would deny Me nothing; more so, since I prayed with His very Will, and I asked for something that was wanted by My Father Himself.
“And after I had formed this prayer before My Celestial Father, certain that the Kingdom of My Divine Will upon earth would be granted to Me, I taught it to My Apostles, that they might teach it to the whole world, so that one might be the cry of all: ‘Your Will be done, on earth as It is in Heaven.’ A promise more sure and solemn I could not make. Centuries are like one single point for Us, but Our words are accomplished acts and facts.
“My very praying to the Celestial Father: ‘Let It come—let Your Kingdom come; Your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven,’ meant that with My coming upon earth the Kingdom of My Will was not established in the midst of creatures; otherwise I would have said: ‘My Father, let Our Kingdom, that I have already established on earth, be confirmed, and let Our Will dominate and reign.’ Instead, I said: ‘Let It come.’ This meant that It must come, and creatures must await It with that certainty with which they awaited the future Redeemer, because there is My Divine Will, bound and committed, in those words of the ‘Our Father’; and when It binds Itself, whatever It promises is more than certain. More so, since everything was prepared by Me; nothing else was needed but the manifestation of My Kingdom—and this I am doing.
“Do you think that My giving you so many truths about My Fiat is only to give you simple news? No, no; it is because I want everyone to know that Its Kingdom is near, and to know Its beautiful prerogatives, so that all may love—may yearn to enter, to live in a Kingdom so holy, full of happiness and of all goods. Therefore, what seems difficult to you is easy for the power of Our Fiat, because It knows how to remove all difficulties, and to conquer everything—the way It wants, and when It wants.”
From the Calendar--February 4, 1934 Volume 33
[Jesus speaking] “…But Our Love burned; We Loved them, and We wanted to make Our Love reach everyone. How to do it? We must use a great invention of Our Love in order to reach this, and here is how: We called to Life the little, tiny Virgin Mary and creating Her All Pure, All Holy, All Beautiful, All Love, without original sin, and making Our own Divine Will conceived together with Her so that between Her and Us there would be free access, perennial and inseparable union.
“Now the Celestial Queen enraptured Us with Her Beauty, and Our Love ran, it ran. With Her Love She wounded Us, and Our Love, overflowing, hid itself in Her. And looking through Her Beauty and with Her Love for all creatures, Our Love poured itself out and Loved all creatures with hidden Love in this Celestial Queen. In fact, We Loved everyone in Her. Through Her Beauty they did not seem ugly to Us anymore. Our Love was no longer restricted within Us, but diffused into the Heart of a creature so holy, that communicating Our Divine Paternity to Her, and Loving everyone in Her, She acquired the Divine Maternity in order to be able to Love everyone as Her children, offspring of Her Celestial Father. As She felt that We Loved all creatures in Her, so She felt that Our Love formed the new generation of all mankind in Her Maternal Heart. Can one give greater invention of love, stratagems more loving, than Our Paternal Goodness in order to Love creatures, and even those who offend Us? To elect from this same lot a creature, to form Her as Beautiful as We can, such that Our Love would not find an obstacle in order to be able to Love everyone in Her and to make Her Love everyone? In this Celestial Queen everyone can find Our Love hidden in Her. Even more because possessing Our Divine Will, She commanded Us to make Us Love everyone. And We, with Our Sweet Empire, commanded Her to be the most Loving Mother of all.
“True Love does not know how to be without loving, and It uses all the arts, It takes the occasion of the littlest things as well as the greatest in order to Love. Our Love now hides Itself, now it reveals Itself; now directly, and now in an indirect way, in order to make known that We animate with Incessant Love She who We brought forth from the depth of Our Love. Greater gift We could not give to all the generations, than giving them this Incomparable Creature as Mother of All and as Bearer of Our Love hidden in Her so as to feed it to all Her children.”
From the Calendar--February 3, 1929 Volume 25
So, I was continuing my round in the Creation and Redemption, recalling within my mind all the acts done by God in order to follow them, giving, for each act, homages, adoration, love, thanksgiving. And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, by recalling the acts of Creation and Redemption in order to follow them and honor them and know them, the creature does nothing but recognize the Divine dominion in all things; and My Divine Will feels Itself being given Its honors, the homages due to It, and, drawn, It forms there Its Kingdom in the midst of creatures.”
From the Calendar--February 2, 1912 Volume 10
This morning, as I offered a soul as victim to Jesus, Jesus accepted the offer, and told me: "My daughter, the first thing I want is union of wills. She must give herself prey to My Will; she must be the amusement of My Volition. I will be very attentive on looking at whether everything she does is connected to My Will, especially if it is voluntary. In fact, I will not take into account things which are not voluntary, to the point that, when she tells Me that she wants to be My victim, I will consider it as not said.
“Second. To the union with My Will add Victim of Love. I will be jealous of everything. True love is no longer master of itself, but of the beloved.
“Third. Victim of Immolation. She must do everything in the attitude of sacrificing herself for Me, even the most indifferent things.
“To this, will add being Victim of Reparation. She must feel sorrow for everything, repair Me for everything, compassionate Me in everything; and this will be the fourth thing.
“If she behaves faithfully in this, then will I be able to accept her as Victim of Sacrifice, of Suffering, of Heroism, of Consummation. Recommend that she be faithful. If she is faithful, everything is done."
And I: “Yes, she will be faithful.” And He: "We’ll see."

As I was in my usual state, I was feeling very afflicted, especially because my confessor had told me that this morning a Protestant church would be opened in Corato, and that I should pray the Lord to make something happen that would confuse them, at the cost of any suffering of mine. But, seeing that the Lord was not coming and therefore I did not feel great sufferings — the only means to obtain these kinds of graces — I felt a most great affliction. Then, after I struggled a lot, blessed Jesus came, and I saw the confessor insisting very much, and praying that I might suffer. So it seemed that He shared with me the pains of the cross, and then He told me: "My daughter, I have made you suffer, forced by the priestly authority, and I will permit that those who go there, instead of being convinced by what the Protestants say, will make fun of them. However, since the chastisement swooped down on Corato in those days in which I kept you suspended from the state of victim, it must now have its course; and if you continue to suffer, I will dispose the hearts in such a way that, at the appropriate time, I will make use of some occasion to have them remain completely confused and destroyed."
From the Calendar--January 31, 1928 Volume 23
After this, I was thinking of how much evil the human will has done to the poor creatures, and therefore I abhor it, I do not want to know it ever again, and not even look at it, because it is too nauseating.
But while I was thinking of this, my Beloved Jesus moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, the human will on its own is nauseating, but united with Mine is the most beautiful thing I created. More so, since the Divinity could never issue anything created by Us that would be nauseating. United with Ours, the human will would have the continuous motion of good, of light, of sanctity, of beauty; and through Our continuous motion, that never ceases, it would have been the greatest prodigy of Creation. Our motion would purify it from any shadow of stain.
“It would happen as to the sea: because it murmurs continuously and has its perennial motion, its waters are pure and crystal clear. Oh! if the waters of the sea were still, the waters would lose the purity and would become so nauseating, that no one would look at the sea; the waters would be so dirty and filled with filth, that the ships would not be able to cross the sea, and no one would make the fish of waters so putrid, his food. So, the sea would be a burden for the earth, and would cause the contagion of all maladies to the human generations.
“On the other hand, by its mere murmuring and having its continuous motion, how much good does it not do to creatures? And while it hides who knows how much dirt inside its bosom, by its murmuring it has the power to keep it buried at the bottom, and it masters the purity of its waters, pure and emptied of any dirt. Such is the human will—more than sea: if the Divine motion murmurs in it, it is beautiful and pure, all evils remain buried and without life; but if My Will does not murmur in it and does not have Its first motion, all evils arise again, and from the most beautiful it becomes the ugliest, such as to arouse pity. …”
From the Calendar--January 30, 1930 Volume 27
I was thinking about how the Kingdom of the Divine Will could come upon earth, and in what way It may unfold. Who will be the first fortunate ones to have such a great good?
And my sweet Jesus, making Himself seen, clasped me all to Himself, and giving me three kisses, told me: “My daughter, in the same way as the Kingdom of Redemption unfolded, so will the Kingdom of My Will unfold. It can be said that Redemption is making Its round throughout the whole world, a round that It has not yet entirely completed, because not all the peoples know about My coming upon earth, and therefore they are without its goods. Redemption keeps preparing and disposing the peoples for the Kingdom of My Divine Will.
“So, just as My Redemption had Its beginning, not in the whole world, but in the center of Judea, because in this nation there was the little core of those who were awaiting Me, there was She whom I had chosen as Mother, and Saint Joseph, who was to be My putative father—in this nation I had manifested Myself to the prophets by letting them know that I was going to come upon earth; it was right that, there where this was known, they be the first ones to have Me in their midst; and even though they were ungrateful, and many did not want to know Me, yet, who can deny that My Celestial Mama, the Apostles, the disciples, were from the Jewish nation, and that they were the first criers who exposed their lives to make known to the other nations My coming upon earth and the goods that are in My Redemption?—so it will be for the Kingdom of My Divine Fiat: the towns, the provinces, the kingdom, that will have been the first to know the knowledges about My Divine Will and Its expressed Will of wanting to come to reign in the midst of creatures, will be the first to receive the goods that Its Kingdom will bring. And then, making Its way with Its knowledges, It will do Its round in the midst of the human generations.
“My daughter, there is much analogy between the way in which Redemption unfolded and the way in which the Kingdom of My Divine Will will unfold. See, in My Redemption I chose a Virgin; in appearance She had no importance according to the world, either of riches, or of height of dignity or positions that would indicate Her; the very city of Nazareth was not important—a tiny little house was Her whole abode. But even though I chose Her from Nazareth, I wanted for it to belong to the capital city, Jerusalem, in which there was the body of the Pontiffs and Priests who then represented Me and announced My laws. For the Kingdom of My Divine Will I have chosen another virgin who, in appearance, has no importance, either of great riches or of height of dignity; the very city of Corato is not an important city, but it belongs to Rome, in which resides My representative on earth, the Roman Pontiff, from whom come My Divine laws; and just as he makes it his duty to make My Redemption known to the peoples, so will he make it his duty to make known the Kingdom of My Divine Will. It can be said that one and the other will proceed in the same way and manner, as the Kingdom of My Supreme Fiat must unfold.”

I was doing the adoration of the wounds of blessed Jesus, and at the end I recited the Creed, intending to enter into the immensity of the Divine Will in which there are all the acts of the creatures, past, present and future, and even those acts which the creature should do, but did not, because of negligence or wickedness. And I was saying: “My Jesus, my Love, I enter Your Volition, and with this Creed I intend to redo and repair all the acts of faith which the creatures have not done, all the disbeliefs, and the lacks of adoration which is due to God as Creator...”
While I was saying these and other things, I felt my intelligence being dissolved in the Divine Will, and a light investing all my intellect, in which I could see my sweet Jesus. This light spoke and spoke... But who can say everything? I will say it confusedly; and then, I feel such repugnance that if obedience were not so severe, but more indulgent, it would not force me into such sacrifices. But You, my Life, give me the strength, and do not leave this poor little ignorant one on her own.
Now, it seemed that He was saying to me: "My beloved daughter, I want to let you know the order of My Providence. Every two thousand years I have renewed the world. In the first two thousand years I renewed it with the Deluge; in the second two thousand I renewed it with My coming upon earth when I manifested My Humanity, from which, as if from many fissures, My Divinity shone forth. The good ones and the very Saints of the following two thousand years have lived from the fruits of My Humanity and, in drops, they have enjoyed My Divinity. Now we are around the third two thousand years, and there will be a third renewal. This is the reason for the general confusion: it is nothing other than the preparation of the third renewal. If in the second renewal I manifested what My Humanity did and suffered, and very little of what My Divinity was operating, now, in this third renewal, after the earth will be purged and a great part of the current generation destroyed, I will be even more generous with creatures, and I will accomplish the renewal by manifesting what My Divinity did within My Humanity; how My Divine Will acted with My human will; how everything remained linked within Me; how I did and redid everything, and how even each thought of each creature was redone by Me, and sealed with My Divine Volition.
“My Love wants to pour Itself out; It wants to make known the excesses which My Divinity operated in My Humanity for the creatures — excesses which greatly surpass the excesses that My Humanity operated externally. This is also why I often speak to you about living in My Will, which I have not manifested to anyone until now. At the most, they have known the shadow of My Will, the grace and the sweetness of doing It. But to penetrate inside of It, to embrace Immensity, to be multiplied with Me and — even while being on earth — penetrate everywhere, both into Heaven and into the hearts, laying down the human ways and acting in Divine ways — this is not yet known; so much so that not to a few will this appear strange, and those who do not keep their minds opened to the Light of the Truth will not understand a thing. But little by little I will make My way, manifesting now one truth, now another, about this living in My Will, so that they will end up understanding.
“Now, the first link which connected the true living in My Will was My Humanity. My Humanity, identified with My Divinity, swam in the Eternal Volition, and kept tracing all the acts of creatures in order to make them Its own, to give to the Father a Divine Glory on the part of creatures, and to bring the value, the love, the kiss of the Eternal Volition to all the acts of creatures. In this sphere of the Eternal Volition, I could see all the acts of creatures — those which could be done and were not done, and also the good acts done badly — and I did those which had not been done, and redid those done badly. Now, these acts which were not done, except by Me alone, are all suspended in My Will, and I await the creatures to come to live in My Volition, and repeat in My Will that which I did.
“This is why I chose you as the second link of connection with My Humanity, a link which becomes one with mine, as you live in My Volition and repeat My own acts. Otherwise, on this side My Love would remain without Its outpouring, without glory from the creatures for all that My Divinity operated within My Humanity, and without the perfect purpose of Creation, which must be enclosed and perfected in My Will. It would be as if I had shed all My Blood and suffered so much, and nobody had known it. Who would have loved Me? Which heart would have been shaken? No one; and therefore in no one would I have had My fruits — the glory of Redemption."
Interrupting Jesus’ saying, I said: “My Love, if there is so much good in this living in the Divine Will, why didn’t You manifest it before?” And He: "My daughter, first I had to make known what My Humanity did and suffered externally, to be able to dispose souls to knowing what My Divinity did inside. The creature is incapable of understanding My work all together; therefore I keep manifesting Myself little by little.
“Then, from your link of connection with Me, the links of other souls will be connected, and I will have a cohort of souls who, living in My Volition, will redo all the acts of the creatures. I will receive the glory of the many suspended acts done only by Me, also from the creatures — and these, from all classes: virgins, priests, lay people, according to their office. They will no longer operate humanly; but rather, as they penetrate into My Will, their acts will multiply for all in a way which is fully Divine. I will receive from the creatures the Divine Glory of many Sacraments administered and received in a human way, of others which have been profaned, of others sullied with interest, and of many good works in which I remain more dishonored than honored. I yearn very much for this time... And you, pray and yearn for it together with Me, and do not move your link of connection with Mine, but start — as the first one."

On hearing this, I said to myself: “Jesus, my Love, if You love so much that Your Will operate in the creature as in the act in which You created her – as if there had been no fracture between Your Will and that of the creature – why, in coming upon earth to redeem us, did You not give us this great good - that Your Will, triumphant of everything, would place us in the order of Creation, just as we came out of the hands of our Celestial Father?” And Jesus, coming out from my interior, pressed me all to His Heart, and with unspeakable tenderness, told me: “My daughter, the primary purpose of My coming upon earth was indeed this one – that man would return into the womb of My Will, as he came out of it when he was created. But in order to do this, I had to form, by means of My Humanity, the root, the trunk, the branches, the leaves, the flowers, from which the celestial fruits of mM Will were to come out. No one can have the fruit without the tree. This tree was watered by My Blood; it was cultivated by My pains, by My sighs and tears; the sun which shone upon it was the Sun of My Will alone. Therefore, the fruits of My Will will certainly come, but in order to desire the fruits, one must know how precious they are, the good which they bring, the riches they produce. Here is the reason, then, for the many manifestations of My Will which I have made to you. In fact, knowledge will bring the desire to eat it; and once they have enjoyed what it means to live only to do My Will, if not all, at least part of them will return to the path of My Volition. The two wills will exchange the perennial kiss; there will be no more dispute between the human will and that of the Creator; and after the many fruits It has given, My Redemption will give also the fruit of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven. Therefore, you, be the first one to take this fruit, and want no other food, nor any other life but My Will alone.”

[Jesus speaking] “I wanted man to be in My Will by his own will, not by force, because I loved him more than all other created things; and I wanted him to be like a king in the midst of My works. But man, ungrateful, wanted to go out from his origin; therefore, he was transformed and lost his freshness and beauty, and was subject to alterations and continuous changes. And as much as I call him to return into his origin, he plays deaf, pretending not to hear Me. But My Love is such that I keep waiting for him, and I continue to call him."

This morning, while I was in my usual state, I saw an endless light before me, and I comprehended that in that light dwelled the Most Holy Trinity. I also saw the Queen Mama before that light; She was all absorbed in the Most Holy Trinity, and She absorbed all Three Divine Persons within Herself, in such a way as to be enriched with the three prerogatives of the Sacrosanct Trinity — which are Power, Wisdom and Charity. And just as God loves mankind as part of Himself, and as a particle that came out of Him, and He ardently desires that this part of Himself return into Himself, so does the Queen Mama, by participating in this, love mankind with passionate love.
Now, while comprehending this, I saw the confessor, and I prayed the Most Holy Virgin to intercede with the Most Holy Trinity for him. She bowed, taking my prayer to the Throne of God, and I saw that from the Divine Throne a flow of light came out, which covered the confessor completely, and I found myself inside myself.
