As I was in my usual state, my adorable Jesus came out from within my interior, and holding my head up, for I was very tired because of the long time waiting for Him, He told me: “My daughter, one who truly loves Me, in anything that happens to her, internal and external, devours everything as one single thing — which is the Divine Will. Of all things, none seems strange to her, as she looks at it as a product of the Divine Will; therefore she consumes everything in It. So, her center, her aim, is only and solely the Will of God. She always goes around within It as though inside a ring, without ever finding the way out, and making of It her continuous food.” Having said this, He disappeared.

Later, as He came back, He told me: “Daughter, let everything in you be sealed by love. If you think, you must only think of love; if you speak, if you work, if you palpitate, if you desire... If even just one desire which is not love comes out of you, restrict it within yourself, convert it into love, and then give it the freedom to go out.” And while saying this, He seemed to be touching my whole person with His hand, placing many seals of love.

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: "My daughter, obedience is the ark of My dwelling in the soul. Where this ark of obedience is not present, I can say that there is no place for Me in that soul, and I am forced to remain outside."

From the Calendar--July 25, 1938 Volume 36

After this He [Jesus] added: “My blessed daughter, Living in My Will puts everything in Order, and makes known the Good that all created things possess—the Love with which they are Invested. They pour themselves on the creature, to love her with a distinct Love that each created thing possesses. Therefore, in one who Lives in Our Will, We find the Love with which We Created Heaven; the variety of Our distinct Love with which We dotted It with stars. Each star is a different Love and We see it sealed in the creature. As she Loves Us with so many different varieties of Love—as many as are the stars—We feel Our Immense, Infinite Love being crowned by the crown of the Love of the creature. O! how Happy We feel in finding in her the Love that crowns Ours; so We Redouble, in return, Our Love in her, to make her Love Us more, more than Heaven with all Its stars. We find in her the Love with which We Created the sun. The sun is one, but the variety of the effects and goods it produces are Innumerable. Each effect is a distinct Love: it can be a kiss, a caress of Light from the Creator to His creature, a Loving hug, or many Acts of Life, inside of which We make arise those effects that can be called ‘food' for the creatures. So We find in one who Lives in Our Will the Love and the variety of effects with which We Created the sun. O! how We feel the return of Love, kisses, hugs—of the variety of effects of Love that the Light possesses. And We feel Our Inaccessible Light as being crowned by her Crown of Light and Love. What doesn't Our Will let Us find in one who Lives in It?

“It makes Us find the Love with which We Created the wind, the air, the sea, the tiny flower in the field, everyone and everything; and It gives Us back this Love, Redoubled, and We Redouble again this Love with which We Created all things. Our Love then makes a feast, feeling Loved—returned—and It prepares New Love Surprises and forms the Operating Creation in the creature. This Love binds all Heaven and earth, It flows everywhere and becomes like cement, Reuniting the division caused by lack of love between God and the creature. …”

Our Love then makes a feast, feeling Loved—returned—and It prepares New Love Surprises and forms the Operating Creation in the creature. This Love binds all Heaven and earth, It flows everywhere and becomes like cement, Reuniting the division caused by lack of love between God and the creature.

“My Love for one who Lives in My Divine Will is such that I let her do whatever I do; I give her the right over My Acts as if they were hers. And I stay there, anxiously waiting that she take My steps to let her walk, My Hands to let her work, My Voice to let her speak; so much so, that if sometimes she stops using Me My Love reproaches her sweetly, and with Tenderness I say: ‘Today you didn't let Me walk, My steps were there waiting for you, to walk in you, but you stopped them; My Works today are suspended because you didn't give Me the space to Operate in your hands; I have been silent because you didn't let Me speak in your voice. See, I even keep My tears on My Face, because you did not take them to use them, to wash yourself, to be refreshed in My Love, to take a bath for those who offend Me; so, I still feel My Face wet from the crying. My Pains are without kisses today, they are not softened by those who love Me, so I feel them all embittered. Therefore, take all from Me, do not leave anything. Let My Being with all My Acts lean on you—on all your acts. So I will call you My support and My refuge. I will put in you—on the shelves of My Will Reigning in you—all the things I did and suffered while on earth. I will multiply them, increase them a hundredfold. I will make them Rise continuously to New Life, so that you may take for yourself whatever you want, giving Myself to all, so that everybody may know Me and Love Me.'

“Further, you must know that, as the creature enters My Will to do her acts, she roll-calls all created things, the Saints as well as the Angels, so that each of them may be enclosed in that Act. O! how Beautiful it is to feel that, in that act, all Love Me, recognize Me, adore Me, and do the same thing. My Will calls everyone, It imposes Itself on all, and all remain Happy and honored to be enclosed in that act done in the Divine Will—to Love with New Love, and with the Love of all, the One Who Loved them so much.”

From the Calendar--July 23, 1923 Volume 16

I was abandoning all of myself in the Holy Divine Will according to my usual way, and my sweet Jesus made Himself seen coming toward me in order to receive me in His Most Holy Will; and He told me: "My daughter, My Will is in continuous encounter with the will of the creature; and as the human will encounters Mine, it receives the Light, the Sanctity, the Strength, which My Will contains. My Will is in continuous act of giving Itself to the creature in order to give her the life of Heaven in advance. If she receives Me, she remains with this Celestial Life; but if in every act she does, she does not receive this Supreme Volition, which is all intent, for her good, on making her happy, strong, holy, divine, and as though transformed into a dawn of celestial light, she remains with her human will alone, which renders her weak, miserable, muddy, and surrounds her with passions so vile as to move to pity.

“Don’t you see how many souls drag themselves because of their weakness in being unable to conquer themselves to do good? Others, which are unable to dominate themselves; others, inconstant like reeds in the wind; others, unable to pray without a thousand distractions; others, always discontent; and others, who seem to be born to do evil. These are all souls who do not encounter My Will in all their things. Yet, My Will is for all; but since they run away from It, they do not receive the good which My Will contains. This is a just pain for those who want to live involving themselves in all miseries.

“However, this Will of Mine, which they did not want to encounter during their life, to receive as many goods for as many times as they would meet It, they will encounter It at their death, receiving as many pains for as many times as they escaped It, because by escaping It, they have become guilty, stained and covered with mud. So it is right that they receive a pain; and as many painful encounters form for them, for as many times as they did not encounter My Will upon earth. But these painful encounters will be without merits, without new gains, as it would have happened, had they encountered It during their life... Oh, how many moans of sorrows come from the prisons of Purgatory, how many shouts of desperation can be heard from hell, because My Will was not encountered upon earth!

“Therefore, My daughter, may your first act be to encounter My Will; may your first thought and heartbeat be to encounter the Eternal heartbeat of My Will, that you may receive all My Love.

“Try to make continuous encounters in everything, that you may be transformed in My Will and I in yours, in order to dispose you to make the last encounter with My Will at your last hour. In this way, you will have no painful encounters after your death."

This morning my adorable Jesus made Himself seen with a golden cross, all shining, hanging from His neck, and in looking at it, He was immensely pleased. In one instant the confessor was present, and Jesus said to him: "The sufferings of these past days have increased the splendor of the cross; so much so, that in looking at it, I take great delight."

Then He turned to me and told me: "The cross communicates such splendor to the soul as to render her transparent. Just as one can give all the colors he wants to an object which is transparent, in the same way, with its light the cross provides all features and the most beautiful shapes that can possibly be imagined, not only by others, but by the very soul who experiences them. Furthermore, on a transparent object one can immediately detect dust, little stains, and even a shadow. Such is the cross: since it renders the soul transparent, it immediately reveals to the soul the little defects, and the slightest imperfections, so much so, that there is no hand of master more capable than the cross in keeping the soul prepared, to make of her a residence worthy of the God of Heaven." Who can say what I understood of the cross, and how enviable is the soul who possesses it? …”

From the Calendar--July 21, 1906 Volume 7

Having come for a little, blessed Jesus told me: "My daughter, all human actions, even holy, done without a special intention for Me, come out of the soul full of darkness, while if they are done with an upright and special intention to please Me, they come out full of light, because the intention is the purge of the action."

From the Calendar--July 20, 1921 Volume 13

Continuing in my usual state, I was feeling very much embittered, and I said to myself: “Your Will alone is left to me; I have nothing else — everything has disappeared.” And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: "My daughter, My Will is all that must be left to you. It is symbolized by water. While water appears abundant in seas, rivers and wells, it seems as if there is no water on the rest of the earth. Yet, there is not one point of the earth which is not soaked with water; there are no buildings in which water has not been the primary element for their construction; there is no food in which water does not hold its primary place; otherwise it would be dry food, which man could not even swallow. The strength that water contains is such and so great, that if it had free field to go out of the seashore, it would devastate and terrify the entire earth.

“My Will is more than water. It is true that, in certain points, times and circumstances, It is as though concentrated within most extensive seas, rivers and wells; but there is no thing, from the greatest to the smallest, in which My Will does not flow and hold Its primary place — even though hidden, just as the water is hidden in the earth, and although not appearing, it is the one that makes plants vegetate and gives life to their roots. However, when My Love will make arise the Era of My Will, the New Era of maximum benefit for creatures, then will the seas and rivers of My Volition overflow; and as their gigantic waves will rise, they will sweep everything into My Will – but no longer hiddenly; rather, Its roaring waves will make themselves seen by everyone and will touch everyone. And those who will want to resist the current, will run the risk of losing their lives.

“Now, since My Will alone has been left to you, you are like water which holds the first place among all goods; and when My Volition will flow out of Its shores, your will, dissolved within Mine, will have its primacy in all things, both in Heaven and on earth. What more do you want?"

From the Calendar--July 19, 1928 Volume 24

Then, while my mind was making present the Conception of the Sovereign Lady, I said to myself: “Immaculate Queen, this little daughter of the Divine Will comes to prostrate herself at your feet, to celebrate your Conception and to give you the honors of Queen. And together with me I call the whole Creation to surround you like a crown—the Angels, the Saints, the heavens, the stars, the sun and everyone, to recognize you as our Queen, to honor and love your height, and to declare ourselves your subjects.

“Don’t you see, oh Celestial Mother and Queen, how all created things run to be around you to say to you: ‘We hail you, our Queen. Finally, after so many centuries, we have been given our Empress.’ The sun hails you as Queen of Light, the heavens as Queen of Immensity and of the stars, the wind as Queen of Empire, the sea as Queen of Purity, Strength and Justice, the earth hails you as Queen of Flowers. All hail you, in chorus: ‘You are the welcome one, our Queen—you will be our smile, our glory, our happiness. From now on we will all hang upon your wishes.’”

From the Calendar--July 18, 1938 Volume 36

My flight in the Divine Will continues. It is as if Its Power and Immensity feel the need of the company of Its beloved creature to take her everywhere It is. As It finds Its Works, It pauses to tell her the different story of each work and the diversity of Love that animates them. It delights so much in manifesting the Source, the specialty of Its works that, not only does It donate these works to those who listen, but It celebrates the ∑orks together with them.

Now, while my mind was surprised and enchanted, my always Adorable Jesus, surprising me, told me: “My blessed daughter, there isn't enchantment more Beautiful, delighting Our Supreme Being, than seeing the creature enter Our Will. As she enters, she takes Us, as if in her arms, and she clothes herself, inside and outside with Our Divine Being; We, in return, take her in Our arms to enjoy her. O! how Beautiful it is to see her, little but Beautiful, little but Powerful, little but Wise, little but Strong; to the extent that she can carry her Creator. There is nothing in which she is not similar to Us. So, just by entering Our Will, she acquires and wears Our Divine Qualities. With the Right given by Us she takes ownership of all, giving herself to all, Loving all, wanting to be Loved by all, wanting Love for Us from all. Seeing a creature who wants everybody to Love Us is the Purest Joy for Us, the most Beautiful, the Greatest one. We can really hear Our Echo: ‘We want everyone to Love Us—We Love everyone.' And if many don't love Us We feel offended and deprived of Our Rights as Creator—Father—Who Loves His children very much. Therefore, We feel recreated by this creature, finding in her Our same follies of Love: how not to Love her? To her Our first kiss, to her Our squeezing hugs. The Love tricks We make up for her are Unheard-of, and the more We Love her, the more We want to Love her.”

Jesus kept silent for a while. Then He added: “My daughter, all created things await you, but do you know why? Because, thanks to My Fiat that animates all, they feel their Union with you, their inseparability from you; and since the creature has the Supremacy, they all await you in their midst, so that together with the creature they can Glorify and Love Us, each one according to the Office assigned by Us. Each created thing possesses the Fullness of its own Good. The sun possesses the fullness of the light, and each act of light it produces, each effect and Good it unleashes from its womb of light, is like a continuous little sonata of Glory and Love that it gives to Us. But it doesn't want to give it alone, rather, it wants the one for whom it has been Created. Only then are We Truly Loved and Glorified: when the creature animated by Our Will, flows into that act of light, Loving and Glorifying Us with the Love and Glory of light. So We feel Our Purpose—the Reason for which We Created light—when We find the creature hidden inside that light, Loving Us with the Fullness of the light and heat. We find in her Love that wounds Us, Love that sweetens Us, Love that says, always, ‘Love.' Therefore We placed the sun in the power of the creature, to Love Us. But if We don't find the creature in the created things, We are not Happy. They remain like instruments with no sound or life; at the most We Love and Glorify Ourselves, but it is not the creature Loving and Glorifying us. So Our Purpose fails.

“The wind is waiting for you, for your voice to flow in its whispers, waiting to feel your whispering Love toward its Creator. O! how honored it feels when all see, in the impetuosity of the wind, your impetuous Love—almost prevailing—towards the One Who Created it: its blows; its breaths invested by your ‘I love you;’ and as We feel your love breathing, We Breathe Love to you, to be Loved more. The air that all breathe is waiting for you, to be animated by your voice. So, in the air everyone inhales, they receive the ‘I Love you' of their Creator; in the air they exhale, your ‘I love you' runs, to bring Us, within its womb, every life, every breath changed into as many loving voices. All created things wait for you, to receive the New Life of Love brought by the soul who Lives in My Will. Even the Saints, the Angels, the very Queen of Heaven await, to receive the freshness and the Joy of the Love Operating in the creature. Although the soul is on earth, she Lives with their same Will, and they are as if watered by the Love of this happy creature. They feel the New Love from which My Will has filled her, investing all; they feel the Joy of the Conquering Love she bears. My daughter, what Order, what Harmony one who Lives in My Will establishes between Heaven and earth! All her acts, motions and thoughts turn into voices, sounds and harmonies that, investing all created things, make everyone say they Love Us; and as We remain Loved, all of them together with Us are Loved with a New Love. The whole Heaven remains enraptured in seeing the Wonders, the sweet Enchantment of those who Live in Our Divine Fiat. …”

From the Calendar--July 17, 1931 Volume 29

I was feeling all immersed in the Fiat; Its Air is so sweet, refreshing, that one feels oneself being reborn at each instant to new life. But what does one breathe in this air of the Divine Will? One breathes air of light, of love, of sweetness, of fortitude, of Divine Knowledges and so forth, in such a way as to feel oneself renewed to new life. This beneficial and balsamic air, as it is breathed, makes the Divine Life grow in the creature; and just as when one breathes the air, with the breath it is enclosed inside, and by repeating the breath it is put outside, because the strength of the air is so great, that one can keep inside only as much as is necessary in order to live—the surplus must be put out with the same breath. But what does one put out? What she has received after she has filled herself: love, light, goodness she has breathed in; love, light, goodness she gives back.

But while my poor mind wandered in this Divine Air, my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, all the good acts that the creature does in My Divine Will rise to God, because It has the Divine Power to draw up, into the Celestial Fatherland, what is done in Its Volition; and then, with Its same Power, It makes them fall back like beneficial rain over the same creature, in such a way that if the creature loves, blesses, adores, thanks, praises, God requites her with new rain of love, of blessings, rain of thanksgivings, because He felt Himself being loved and thanked by the creature, and bursting into rain of praises, He praises her before the whole Celestial Court. Oh! how Our Divine Goodness awaits the adoration, the pleasant ‘I love You’ of the creature, to be able to give to Our Love the vent of being able to say to her: ‘Daughter, I love you.’ Therefore, there is not one act that the creature does for Us, for which Our Tenderness, all paternal, does not give to her multiplied requital.”

Then, I continued my acts in the Divine Fiat, and my beloved Jesus added: “My daughter, the creature is carried in the arms of My Divine Will, and Its Love is so great that It keeps all Creation around her, as if, in act, It were always, always creating It to give her pleasure and render her happy, and say to her: ‘My Creative Strength maintains all this machine of the universe; if It withdrew, the sun would disappear as if by magic, the heavens and all the other things would resolve into nothing, just as from nothing they came out. So, My Creative Power keeps on creating It continuously, and can say in all reality: ‘It is precisely for you that I am creating the sun, so that your life, your journey, may be strewn with light. For you the azure heavens, so that your eye may wander afar and delight in their extension. I am creating everything for you; I maintain everything in order because I love you.’ My Divine Will makes Itself life in act of all things, It sustains them and preserves them, It places them around the creature to make her feel, from all things and from all sides, Its unmovable Life, Its immutable Strength, Its invincible Love. It can be said that It clasps her everywhere as triumph of Its Love. And It maintains not only the external order and all things in act, as if It were creating them, but It maintains internally, with Its Creative Strength, the whole internal order of the creature. So, It is always in act of creating the heartbeat, the breath, the motion, the circulation of the blood, the intelligence, the memory, the will. It runs as life in the heartbeat, in the breath—in everything; It sustains and preserves, without ever withdrawing from the soul and from the body. Yet, this Supreme Will of Mine is everything, does everything, and is not recognized, but rather, forgotten. It could say as I said to the Apostles: ‘I have been with you for so long, and you still do not know Me.’ Many things are made known that do not form the life of the creature; and of My Will, that forms the life and is continuous Act of Life—otherwise she could not live—nothing is made known. Therefore, My daughter, be attentive, recognize It in you and outside of you—in everything, more than your own life, and you will feel admirable things, Its continuous Act that loves you with untiring love, and only because It loves you, It gives you Life.”

From the Calendar--July 16, 1927 Volume 22

I continue to live all abandoned in the Divine Fiat, following Its innumerable acts, and my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, one who lives in My Will has the wideness, the capacity, to be able to enclose all the Acts of God within herself, therefore becoming the depository of the Divine Will. And because of this, God finds in that soul the whole of Himself with all His Acts.

“Therefore, everything—everything is sacred in her, everything is holy, everything is light and beauty; she possesses perfect balance, Divine order, and I find in her the Glory of My Sanctity, of My Light, of My rare Beauty. I look at her and I find My reflections, My dearest image created by Me, as wanted by Me; and in the excess of My Love I keep repeating: ‘How beautiful you are—My Will has enclosed everything in you. The Creation is a pale image of you; you are more refulgent than the sun, you are more adorned than the heavens, you are more graceful than the flowery fields. You are all beautiful because the power of My Divine Volition invests you, nourishes you—is your life.’”

Then, pausing, He added: “My daughter, when the soul prays in My Will, all things and all created beings stand at attention, suspend all things, make everything silent, and while they are all intent on admiring the act done in the Divine Will, all together, they follow the prayer. The power of it calls and imposes itself on everything, in such a way that all do the same thing. If all other prayers were united together in order to compare them with a simple prayer done in My Will, this one surpasses them all, because it possesses a Divine Will, an immense power, an incalculable value. I Myself feel invested by such a prayer, and as I see that it is My Will that prays, I feel Its power that identifies Me with that very prayer. …”

From the Calendar--July 15, 1934 Volume 33

I was doing my round in the Divine Will, and my little human volition, lost in It, burned with the desire to search out all Its Acts in order to make them mine so as to be able lord over everything, and have in my power an Infinite Glory, an Eternal Love, Innumerable Acts, one distinct from the other, that never end, in order to be able to always give Love, Glory, Works to my Creator. As daughter of His Will, I feel the need of possessing everything in order to have the Love that never says enough, and Divine Acts Worthy of the Supreme Majesty.

And my always adorable Jesus, almost to confirm what I thought, told me: “My daughter, for one who does My Will and Lives in It, everything is hers. If It gives Itself to the creature, It does not give Itself only, but It brings all Its Works, because they are inseparable from It, and It makes use of them in order to let wander, nourish, make happy, enrich with Its Immense Riches, she who Lives in It. And It places Itself in the conditions of being able to always receive from the creature. If My Divine Volition could not give everything, and always give and always receive from one who Lives in Its Volition, It would not be a true happy Life in It because the substance of Happiness is formed by New Surprises, by exchanges of Gifts, by various and manifold Works, each one possessing the Source of various Joys, that the one makes a Gift of to the other, and they attest their Love to each other in turn. One pours into the other, and in this pouring into each other they communicate Secrets, and the creature makes New Discoveries about the Divinity and acquires other Knowledges about the Supreme Being.

“Life in My Will is not a joke, but Operating Life and continuous Activity. Rather, you must know that there is nothing that has been done by God, by the Saints, and by everyone, that is not given to one who Lives in My Volition, because there is nothing of Good that does not belong to It. And as you feel the need of possessing everything, so everyone feels the need of giving himself to you. But do you know why they want to pass through the channel of the human volition? In order to give the Good that they possess and to duplicate the Good, the glory, of their acts to their Creator. In fact, as you desire to search them out, so Our Works and those of the whole of Heaven desire to be sought. It seems that they say one after the other: ‘And to me, and to me—do not pass me over. Take me in your power, unite us all together so that one is the Love, the Glory, of everyone to that Supreme Will that has given birth to us in Its Womb and has given us Life.’

“Therefore Living in My Will is the Prodigy of prodigies, it is the Unity of everything, it is to possess everything, to receive and give everything. And since I want to always give to the creature, I ardently yearn for her in My Fiat in order to give her what I want and to fulfill My Desires.”

From the Calendar--July 14, 1907 Volume 8

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for a little while, and without thinking, I asked: “Lord, yesterday I went to confession; if I had died, since confession remits sins, would You not have brought me straight to Heaven?”

And He: "My daughter, it is true that confession remits sins, but the surest and most certain thing to be exempt from Purgatory is love. Love must be the predominant passion in the soul. Love — her thought, her word, her movements... everything, everything must be enveloped by this love. In this way, finding her all love, the Uncreated Love absorbs the created love within Itself. In fact, Purgatory does nothing but fill the voids of love that are present in the soul; and once It has filled these voids, It sends her to Heaven. But if these voids are not there, it is not something that belongs to Purgatory."

From the Calendar--July 13, 1931 Volume 29

[Jesus speaking]

“Now, you must know, My daughter, that the passport in order to enter into My Kingdom is the resolute will of never doing one’s own will, even at the cost of one’s life and any sacrifice. This resolute act, but true, is like the signature that one puts on the passport in order to set off in the Kingdom of My Divine Will; and while the creature signs in order to set off, God signs in order to receive her. This latter signature will have so much value, that the whole of Heaven will go to meet her in order to receive her into the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat in which they live; and they will be all eyes over this creature who, from the earth, holds as life and as Kingdom that same Will that they hold in Heaven. But the passport is not enough; one must study the language, the ways, the customs of this Divine Kingdom—and these are the knowledges, the prerogatives, the beauties, the value that My Will contains. Otherwise, one would be like a stranger; he would neither take love, nor be loved. If he does not sacrifice in making of It a study in order to be able to speak with that same language, and does not adapt himself to the customs of those who live in this Kingdom so holy, he will live isolated, because, not understanding him, they will shun him; and isolation makes no one happy. In addition to this, one must pass from the study to the practice of what was learned; and after a length of practice, at last, he is declared a citizen of the Kingdom of My Divine Will, and then will he enjoy all the happinesses that are in a Kingdom so holy; even more, they will be his own properties, and he will acquire the right to live in It as in his own Fatherland.”

From the Calendar--July 12, 1906 Volume 7

Having struggled very much in waiting for my blessed Jesus, I was feeling tired and exhausted. Then, coming almost in passing, He told me: "My daughter, everything that serves as sufferings or as pricking to the creature, on one hand pricks the creature, on the other touches God. And God, feeling touched, at each touch He feels, gives always something divine to the creature." And He disappeared.

From the Calendar--July 11, 1923 Volume 15

“You must know that this fulfillment of My Will is so great as to be numbered among the greatest works which the Divinity has operated. And I want It to be known, so that in knowing Its greatness and the immense goods It contains, they may love It, esteem It and desire It. Three times did the Supreme Divinity decide to operate ‘ad extra.’ The first was in Creation, and it was without the intervention of the creature, since none of them had yet come out to the light of the day. The second was in Redemption, and with it intervened a woman, the holiest, the most beautiful – My Celestial Mama. She was the channel and the instrument I used in order to fulfill the work of Redemption. The third is the fulfillment of My Will to be done on earth as It is in Heaven – that is, for the creature to live and operate with the sanctity and the power of Our Will; a work inseparable from Creation and Redemption, just as the Sacrosanct Trinity is inseparable. Nor can We say that the work of Creation has been completed by Us, if Our Will, as We decreed, does not act in the creature and live with that freedom, sanctity and power with which It operates and lives in Us. Even more, this is the most beautiful point, the highest, the brightest, and the seal of the fulfillment of the work of Creation and Redemption.

“These are Divine Decrees, and they must have full completion. And in order to fulfill this decree We want to use another woman – and that is you. The woman was the incitement, the cause for which man fell into his misfortunes, and We want to use the woman to put things in order, to let man out of his misfortunes and give back to him decorum, honor, Our true likeness — just as he was created by Us. Therefore, be attentive, and do not take things lightly. This is not about just anything – this is about Divine Decrees, and about giving Us the field to let Us accomplish the work of Creation and Redemption. Therefore, just as We entrusted Our Mama to St. John, that She might deposit in him, and from him to the Church, the treasures, the graces and all of My teachings which I had deposited in Her during the course of My Life, when She was entrusted to Me and I acted as Priest to Her — as I deposited in Her, as in a sanctuary, all the laws, the precepts and the doctrines which the Church was to possess; and She, faithful as She was, and jealous of even one word of Mine, deposited them in My faithful disciple John, so that they might not be lost, and therefore My Mama has primacy over the whole Church — so I did with you: since the ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua’ must serve the whole Church, I entrusted you to a minister of Mine, that you may deposit in him everything I manifest to you about My Will – the goods contained in It, how the creature must enter into It, and how the paternal goodness wants to open another era of grace, placing His goods, which He possesses in Heaven, in common with the creature, and giving back to her the lost happiness. Therefore, be attentive, and be faithful to Me.”

Then He kept silent, and after a little while He added: “My daughter, the human will has produced so much evil as to form the unhappy state of the poor creature; it changed her lot, her fortune. Since I am happy by My own nature, everything that came out of Our creative hands in Creation, came out with the fullness of happiness; therefore, everywhere, inside and outside of man, flowed perennial joy and happiness. The human will drove this sea of true and perpetual happiness out of itself, which, driven out, took refuge in the womb of its Creator, who had issued it so that all of His works might be happy.

“And even though We are happy by Our nature, and no one can shade Our Happiness, We are forced to see man unhappy, to whom primacy in Creation had been given; and to see Our children unhappy, to see that the sea of Our Happiness is not enjoyed by the one who was the owner of it, even though it causes no harm to Us, is always a sorrow.

“Now, one who lives in My Divine Will calls this sea of Happiness again into herself; she removes from Us the sight of the unhappiness in the poor creatures, and she makes Us twice as happy, because We see that Our Happiness takes its way toward Our children. Therefore, My Divine Will will put all things in place and will take away the unhappiness produced by the human will that, with its poisonous slobber, knows how to embitter everything and make everything turbid.

“How beautiful it is to see everyone happy! What a consolation for a father to have and see the crown of his children—all happy, rich, healthy, beautiful, always smiling, never crying. Oh! how he enjoys, and feels himself swimming in his own happiness, and of his children. I am more than a father, and I feel within Me the happiness of My children, because it is My own thing and it can enter into Me; while unhappiness is something extraneous to Me, that does not belong to Me and does not have the way to enter into Me. I feel the sorrow of seeing it, but not of feeling it, and, as Father, I love and want everyone to be happy.”

Finding myself in my usual state, I was feeling very bad, and my always adorable Jesus, moved to compassion for my poor state, came for a little while. Kissing me, He told me: "Poor daughter, do not fear; I do not leave you, nor can I leave you. It is my magnet that works powerfully on Me, attracting Me toward you with such violence that I cannot resist. It takes too much to be free of one who does My Will; I should get rid of Myself, which is not possible."

Then He added: "Daughter, one who really does My Will is put in the same condition as My Humanity. I was Man and God. As God, I contained within Me all the happiness, beatitudes, beauty, and all the goods that I possess. On one hand My Humanity participated in the joy of My Divinity, therefore My Soul was blissful, happy, and Its beatific vision never escaped It. On the other hand, My Humanity had loaded upon Itself the satisfaction on the part of creatures before Divine Justice. It was tormented by the clear sight of all the sins; and having to take them upon Itself in order to repair for them, It felt the horror of each sin with its own special torment. Therefore, I felt joy and pain at the same time: Love on the part of My Divinity; cold on the part of creatures; sanctity on one side, and sin on the other. Nothing the creature did could escape Me, no matter how tiny.

“Now, My Humanity is no longer capable of suffering. Therefore, I live in one who does My Will — she serves as My Humanity. So, on one hand the soul feels love, peace, firmness in good, fortitude and so on; on the other hand, coldness, bother, tiredness, etc. If the soul remains completely in My Will and takes these things, not as her own things, but as the things that I suffer, she will not lose heart. She will sympathize with Me and will have the honor of sharing in My pains, since she is nothing other than a veil which covers Me. She will feel nothing but the annoyance of pricks and coldness, while they will come thickly into Me — into My Heart."

From the Calendar--July 8, 1910 Volume 9

Being very afflicted because of the privation of my highest Good, and having received Communion, in receiving the holy host, it stopped in my throat, and as I suckled it in order to push it down, I suckled a sweet and delicious humor. Then, after suckling very much, it went down, and I could see the host changed into a baby, who said: "Your body is My Tabernacle, your soul is the pyx that contains Me; the beating of your heart is like the host that serves Me in order to transform Myself into you, as if within a host; with this difference: that in the host, as it is consumed, I am subject to continuous deaths; while the beating of your heart, symbolizing your love, is not subject to be consumed, and so My Life is continuous. Therefore, why so much affliction about My privations? If you don’t see Me, you feel Me; if you don’t feel Me, you touch Me... and now with the fragrance of My perfumes which diffuse around you; now with the light with which you feel invested; now by making a liquor that cannot be found on earth descend into you; now by just touching you; and the many other ways which are invisible to you."

Now, in order to obey, I will write these things that Jesus says happen to me often, and also while being fully awake. These fragrances — I myself am unable to tell what kind they are – I call “the fragrance of love”; and I feel it at Communion, if I pray, if I work, especially if I have not seen Him, and I say to myself: “Today He has not come. Don’t You know, O Jesus, that without You I cannot be, nor do I want to be?” And immediately, and almost suddenly, I feel as though invested by that fragrance. Other times, as I move, or if I move the bed sheets, I feel that fragrance coming out, and in my interior I hear Him say: "I am here." Other times, while I am all afflicted, as I go about raising my eyes, a ray of light comes before my sight. However, these things I take into no account, nor do they satisfy me. That which, alone, makes me happy is Jesus; all the rest I receive with certain indifference.

I wrote this only to obey.
