Now, while these and other thoughts were passing through my mind, my Jesus moved in my interior, and with His usual Light told me: "My daughter, when a Sanctity is individual, in time and space, it has more external prodigies in order to attract those individuals, places and times, to receive the grace and the good which that sanctity contains. On the other hand, the Sanctity of living in My Will is not an individual sanctity, assigned to do good to certain places, to certain people and to certain times; rather, it is a Sanctity which has to do good to all, in all times and in all places. It is a Sanctity which remains eclipsed in the Eternal Sun of My Will, which, invading all, is Light without speech, fire without wood, without clamor, without smoke; but in spite of this, it does not cease to be the most majestic, the most beautiful, the most fecund. Its Light is more pure, Its heat more intense, and the true image of it is the Sun which illuminates our horizon – it illuminates all, but without clamor. It is Light, but has no speech; it says nothing to anyone – the good it does, the seeds it fecundates, the life it gives to all plants, and how it purifies the polluted air with its heat, and destroys all that can be noxious to all humanity. It is so silent that, even though they have it with them, they pay no attention to it. But in spite of this, it does not cease to be majestic and beautiful, and to continue the good it does for all. And if the sun were missing, everyone would cry over it, since the greatest miracle of fecundity and preservation of all nature would be missing.

“The Sanctity of living in My Will is more than Sun. A soul who is upright and fully ordered in My Will is more than an army in battle. Her intelligence is ordered and bound to the Eternal Intelligence; her heartbeats, affections, desires, are ordered with eternal bonds. Therefore, her thoughts, her will and all her interior, are armies of messengers which come from her and which fill Heaven and earth; they are speaking voices; they are weapons which defend all, and first of all, their God. They bring good to all; they are the true Celestial and Divine Militia which the Supreme Majesty keeps all ordered within Itself, always ready at all Its commands.

“And then, there is the example of My Mama, true Sanctity of living in My Will, with her interior all eclipsed in the Eternal Sun of the Supreme Volition. Having to be the Queen of the Sanctity of the Saints, and Mother and Bearer of My Life to all, and therefore of all goods, she remained as though hidden in all, bringing good without making herself recognized. More than a silent Sun, she brought Light without speech, Fire without clamor, Good without exposing herself. There was no good which did not come from Her; there was no miracle which was not unleashed from Her. By living in My Will, she lived hidden within all, and she was and is the origin of the goods of all.

“She was so enraptured in God, so fixed and ordered in the Divine Will, that all her interior swam in the sea of the Eternal Volition. She was aware of all the interior of all creatures, and she placed her own in order to reorder them before God. It was exactly the interior of man, more than the outside, to be in greater need of being re-done and reordered; and so, having to do the major part, it seemed that she did the minor, while she was the origin of both external and interior good. Yet, apparently it seemed that she did not do great or amazing works. More than Sun, She went unobserved and hidden in the cloud of Light of the Divine Will, so much so, that the very Saints gave of themselves, doing apparently more amazing things that My own Mama did. Yet, what are the greatest Saints before My Celestial Mama? They are just little stars compared to the great Sun; and if they are illuminated, it is because of the Sun.

“But even though she did not do amazing things, she did not cease to be, also visibly, majestic and beautiful, just barely flying over the earth, all intent on that Eternal Will which she charmed and enraptured with great love and violence, in order to transport It from Heaven to earth, and which the human family had so brutally exiled up on High. And with all her interior ordered in the Divine Will, She gave no time to time; whether She thought, palpitated, breathed, and everything else She did – these were all charming bonds in order to draw the Eternal Word upon earth. And in fact She won, and She performed the greatest miracle, which no one else can do.”

Having done my meditation on the fact that one who sows good will harvest good, and one who sows vices will harvest evils, I was thinking about what good I could sow, given my position, my misery and inability. At that moment, I felt I was being harvested, and I heard Him say in my interior: "The soul must sow good with her whole being – with all of it. The soul possesses a mental intelligence, and she must apply it to comprehend God, to think of good alone, never allowing any bad seed to enter her mind; and this is the sowing of good with the mind. The same with her mouth: she must never sow any bad seed, that is, bad words, unworthy of a Christian, but always say holy, useful and good words; so here is the sowing of good with the mouth. Then, with her heart she must love God alone, desire God, palpitate for Him, and tend to Him; here is the sowing of good with the heart. Then, with her hands she must do holy works, with her feet she must walk after the examples of Our Lord; and here is another good seed."

On hearing this, I thought to myself: “So, in my position I too can sow good in spite of my extreme misery.” But I thought of this with a certain fear of the account that the master will ask of me — whether I have sown well; and in my interior I heard Him repeat: "My goodness is so great that great wrong is done by those who make Me known as severe, very demanding and rigorous. Oh, what an affront they give to My Love! I will ask for no other account but of the little field given to them; and I will ask for an account for nothing but to give them the fruit of their harvests. I will give it to the intelligence, for the more it has comprehended Me in life, the more it will comprehend Me in Heaven; and the more it will comprehend Me, the greater the joy and beatitude with which it will be inundated. To the mouth I will give the harvest of the different Divine flavors, and its voice will harmonize above all the other Blessed; to the works I will give the harvests of My gifts; and so with all the rest."

Then, after this, He blessed him and came to my little soul, resuming His speaking: “My daughter, how much I care about My Will, how I love, how I yearn that It become known. My interest is so great that I am disposed to give any grace to whomever wants to occupy himself with making It known. Oh, how I wish that they would hurry, because I see that all My rights will be given back to Me, the order between God and the creature will be re-established. I will no longer give My gifts to the human generations as halved, but as whole, nor will I ever again receive from them things that are incomplete, but whole. Ah! My daughter, being able to give and wanting to give, but finding no one to whom to give is always a pain and a weight with no hope of relief. If you knew with how much jealousy of love I stay around the soul when I see her disposed to do her acts in My Will! Before she begins her act I make the light and the virtue of My Will flow in it, so that her act may take its origin on the virtue that My Will contains. As she keeps forming it, the Divine light and virtue invest it and carry it out. As she completes it, the light is sealed over it and gives it the form of a Divine act, and–oh! how My Supreme Goodness delights in seeing that the creature possesses this Divine act. To these acts My eternal love never says enough; it gives, and gives always, because with these Divine acts formed by the creature in My Will, My love cannot limit itself – since they are divine, it must repay them with infinite love and without limits.

Don’t you yourself see and feel with how much love I guide you, I accompany you, and many times I reach the point of doing what you do together with you? And this, in order to give to your acts the value of a Divine value. How happy I am in seeing that by virtue of My Will, your acts are divine, similar to Mine. There is no more distance between your little love and mine, between your adoration and mine, between your prayers and Mine. Invested by the light of the Eternal Volition, they lose their finiteness, their human appearances, and acquire the infinite and the Divine substance; and transforming, all together, the working of God and of the soul, My Will makes them one. Therefore, be attentive, and let your flight in My Will be continuous.”

Continuing in my usual state, I saw the Queen Mama who was saying to Our Lord: “Come — come into her garden to delight,” and it seemed that She was pointing to me. On hearing this, I felt full of blushes, and I said to myself: “I have nothing good at all – how can He delight?” As I was thinking of this, blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter, why do you blush? All the glory of a soul is to be told that, of everything she has, nothing is hers, but all is of God; and I, in exchange, say to her that everything that is Mine is hers.” And while He was saying this, it seemed that my little garden, which He Himself had made, would unite with His, most extensive, which He kept in His Heart, and they would become one, and we would delight together. Then I found myself inside myself.

This morning, after receiving Communion, I was saying to my lovable Jesus: "How is it that this virtue of obedience is so impertinent, and sometimes so strong as to reach the point of being capricious."

And He: "Do you know why this noble lady obedience is as you say? Because she gives death to all vices and, naturally, one who has to inflict death upon someone else must be strong and courageous; and if he does not succeed with this, he will use impertinences and caprices. If this is necessary in order to kill the body, which is so fragile, much more so in order to give death to vices and to one’s own passions; in fact, it is so hard that sometimes, while they seem to be dead, they begin to live again. And so this diligent lady is always in motion, and spying continuously. If she sees that the soul raises the slightest difficulty at what is commanded of her, fearing that some vice may begin to live again in her heart, she wages such a war against her and gives her no peace, until the soul prostrates herself at her feet and does, in mute silence, whatever she wants. This is why she is so impertinent and almost capricious, as you say.

“Ah, yes, there is no true peace without obedience; and if it seems that one may enjoy peace, it is a false peace, because it gets along with one’s own passions, but never with virtues. And one ends up in ruin, because by moving away from obedience, one moves away from Me, who was the King of this noble virtue.

“Moreover, obedience kills one’s own will and pours the Divine in torrents; so much so, that one can say that the obedient soul no longer lives of her will, but of the Divine. Can there ever be a life more beautiful, more holy, than to live of the Will of God Himself? With the other virtues, even the most sublime, there can be love of self, but with obedience – never."

From the Calendar--August 16, 1899 Volume 2

Jesus continues to want me to act as His mother. He made Himself seen as a most gracious little baby, crying; and to calm His crying, holding Him in my arms, I began to sing. It so happened that when I would be singing, He would stop crying; when I wouldn’t, He would start crying again. I would rather have kept silent on what I was singing – first, because I don’t remember everything, since I was outside of myself, and one can hardly remember all the things that happen; and also because I believe it is nonsense. But lady obedience, who is too impertinent, does not want to give up, and it is enough that one does what she wants, for her to be content even with nonsense. I don’t know, they say that this lady obedience is blind, but to me it seems, rather, that she is all eyes, because she looks at the tiniest things, and when one does not do as she says, she becomes so impertinent as to give you no peace. And so now, to have peace from this beautiful lady obedience – because, then, she is so good when one does as she says, that whatever ones wants, through her, one obtains – I will say what I remember of my singing:

"Little Baby, You are little and strong from You I expect every comfort;
little Baby, gracious and beautiful, You enamor even the stars;
little Baby, steal my heart so as to fill it with your love;
little Baby, tender little one, make me a little baby too; little Baby, You are a Paradise,
O please! Let me come to delight in your eternal smile."

After this, I began to think about the feast of my Celestial Mama Assumed into Heaven; and my sweet Jesus, with a tender and moving tone, added: “My daughter, the true name of this Feast should be Feast of the Divine Will. It was the human will that closed Heaven, broke the bonds with its Creator, made miseries and sorrow enter the field, and put an end to the feast that the creature was to enjoy in Heaven. Now, this creature, Queen of all, by doing the Will of the Eternal One always and in everything – even more, it can be said that Her life was Divine Will alone – opened the Heavens, bound Herself to the Eternal One, and restored in Heaven the feasts with the creature. Every act She did in the Supreme Will was a feast that She started in Heaven, it was suns that She formed to adorn this feast, it was melodies that She sent to delight the Celestial Jerusalem. So, the true cause of this feast is the Eternal Will operating and fulfilled in My Celestial Mama. It operated such prodigies in Her as to astonish Heaven and earth, chain the Eternal One with indissoluble bonds of love, and capture the Word even into Her womb. The very Angels, enraptured, repeated among themselves: ‘From where comes so much glory, so much honor, such greatness and prodigies never before seen, in this excelling Creature? Yet, it is from the exile that She is coming.’ Astonished, they recognized the Will of their Creator as Life operating in Her; and, trembling, they said: ‘Holy, Holy, Holy — honor and glory to the Will of Our Sovereign Lord. And glory, and trice Holy - She who let this Supreme Will operate.’

So, it is My Will that, more than anything, was and is celebrated on the day of the Assumption into Heaven of My Most Holy Mother. It was My Will alone that made Her ascend so high as to distinguish Her among all. Everything else would have been as nothing, had She not possessed the prodigy of My Will. It was My Will that gave Her Divine Fecundity and made Her the Mother of the Word. It was My Will that made Her see and embrace all creatures together, becoming the Mother of all, and loving all with a love of Divine Maternity. And making Her the Queen of all, It made Her rule and dominate. On that day, My Will received the first honors, the glory and the abundant fruit of Its work in Creation, and It began Its feast, which It never interrupts, for the glorification of Its operating in My beloved Mother. And even though Heaven was opened by Me, and many Saints were already in possession of the Celestial Fatherland when the Celestial Queen was assumed into Heaven, however, She Herself was the primary cause, having fulfilled the Supreme Will in everything, and therefore we waited for She who had honored It so much and contained the true prodigy of the Most Holy Will, to make the first feast for the Supreme Volition. Oh! how the whole of Heaven magnified, blessed and praised the Eternal Will, upon seeing this sublime Queen enter the Empyreum, in the midst of the Celestial Court, all circumfused by the Eternal Sun of the Supreme Volition! They saw Her all studded with the power of the Supreme Fiat; there had been not even a heartbeat in Her which did not have this Fiat impressed on it. And, astonished, they looked at Her and said to Her: ‘Ascend, ascend higher. It is right that She who so much honored the Supreme Fiat, and through whom we find ourselves in the Celestial Fatherland, have the highest throne and be our Queen.’ And the greatest honor that my Mama received, was to see the Divine Will glorified.”

From the Calendar--August 14, 1924 Volume 17

I was thinking to myself: “I would like to always go around in His Divine Will; I would like to be like a wheel of the clock which always rotates, without ever stopping.”

But while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior and told me: "My daughter, do you want to always go around in My Will? Oh, how gladly and with what love do I want you to go around, always, in My Will! Your soul will be the wheel; My Will will wind you to make you rotate fast, without ever stopping; your intention will be the point of origin from which you want to start. Whatever way you want to take – whether in the past or in the present, or whether you want to delight along future paths – it is your free choice; you will always be dear to Me, and you will give Me highest delight, whatever the starting point you choose."

Then He added: "Dearest daughter of My Will, the work of My Will contains the Creative Power. See, all that My Humanity did while being upon earth, since everything was done in the Supreme Volition, contains this Creative Power in everything; so much so, that just as a sun is always in act, always full of light and of heat, without ever decreasing or increasing in its full splendor, as it was created by God – in the same way, everything I did is all in act. And just as the sun is of all and of each one, in the same way, My work, while being one, is of all and of each one. Even more, My thoughts form a crown to each created intelligence; My gazes, My words, My works, My steps, My heartbeats, My pains, become crown of the gazes, of the words, of the works, of the pains, etc., of the creatures. I could say that, like a crown, I guard all that the creature does.

“Now, if the creature thinks in My Will, the crown of My thoughts opens and encloses her thoughts. And so the creatures, taking part in the Creative Power, do before God and before all, the office of My intelligence. In the same way, if you look, if you speak, if you think, if you pray, if you work in My Will, My gazes, My words, My thoughts, My prayers, My works, form the place in which to receive all these actions of yours; and forming one single crown, they do the office of My gazes and of My words, and so forth with all the rest. The souls who live in My Will are My true repeaters, My inseparable images, portrayed within them and absorbed again in Me, so that everything they do may carry the seal that these are My works, as they continue My own office."

From the Calendar--August 13, 1933 Volume 32

I am always returning into the arms of the Divine Will; it seems that It yearns to have me always with Itself in order to give me Its continuous Life, and I yearn for It in order to receive It. Without It, I would feel the earth lacking under my feet, the heartbeat lacking in my heart, and I would suffer a tremendous hunger, without anything else that could give me even one crumb in order to satisfy my hunger. O! Divine Will, let us Live together if You want to make me happy and be able to find in me the Happiness of Your same Life.

But while my mind was lost in the Fiat, my beloved Jesus, making me His brief little visit to, told me: “My blessed daughter, I could say that it is a Delirium, a Divine Passion of My Will, that wants to Live together with the creature, ceding this in order to have the human littleness. But do you know why? You must know that My Divine Volition always has ready a New Act to give to the creature. But if she does not Live together with It, she does not accustom herself to doing her acts united with My Volition in order to form one alone, and It can not give it because first she would not be Worthy to receive it, and second because she would not understand the Value of the Great Gift that she receives, and she would not have the virtue of absorbing it into herself as her own Life.

“By Living together with My Divine Will she acquires New Life, Divine Ways, Celestial Science, penetration of the most Profound Things. In sum, as My Fiat is the Teacher of teachers, it is It who Creates the Highest Sciences, and makes things known not veiled, but as they really are. Therefore, Living together with the creature It does not want to keep her ignorant; It instructs her, It makes her Its Surprises, It recounts to her Its Divine Story, and this Transforms her and renders her capable of receiving Its New Act that My Volition wants to give her. And in every act that the soul does united with It, she acquires a New Prerogative of Divine Likeness. By Living together with My Volition the soul becomes refined, embellished, and in Our Creative Hands becomes like suitable canvas in the hands of the painter, that however more beautiful, more fine is the canvas, so much more beautiful becomes the image that He wants to paint on that canvas. It seems that his brushes and his colors acquire more art, are more skillful, even more because they make the colors come alive over such a very fine canvas. In fact, because it comes alive, the canvas changes in image and acquires such value as to render itself admired by who knows how many people.

“Now My Will is more than Divine Painter, and It never tires of giving New Beauty, Sanctity and New Science. And It remains waiting for an act done together with It in order to enrich it, in order to make Itself known even more, and to make use of Its Divine Brushes in order to elevate her to such Height and Rare Beauty, as to make her be admired by who knows how many generations, in a way that all will call her Beautiful. And one will feel Happy who has the Good of looking at her, at all the New Acts received by God in virtue of what she has worked in My Volition. They will extol her, and singing her praises they will make her known as the Most Beautiful Work of My Divine Fiat. Its wanting to abase Itself to Living with the creature, Its Divine Delirium, is a sign that It wants to do Great, and Worthy of Its Creative Power, things with her. Therefore Living together with My Fiat is the greatest fortune, and must be the delirium, the vehement passion and ambition of everyone.”

From the Calendar--August 12, 1926 Volume 19

The privations of my sweet Jesus are getting longer. Oh! how He makes me yearn for His return! How hours and days seem like centuries without Him! – but centuries of night, not of days!

So, while I was anxiously waiting for His return, like a rising flash He came out from within my interior, and clasping me to Himself, told me: “My daughter, man was created by God with three powers: memory, intellect and will; and this, so that he might have the links of communications with the Divine Persons of the Sacrosanct Trinity. These were like paths along which to ascend to God, like doors through which to enter, like rooms in which to form the continuous dwelling – the creature for God, God for the creature. These are the royal paths of both of them, the gold doors which God placed in the depth of the soul through which the Supreme Sovereignty of the Divine Majesty might enter; the safe and unshakeable room in which God was to have His celestial dwelling. Now, in order to be able to form Its Kingdom in the inmost place of the soul, My Will wants to find these three powers, given to the creature to raise her to the likeness of the Creator, in order with the Father, with the Son and with the Holy Spirit. My Will would not go out of Its dominions if these three powers of the soul were in order with God, and Its reigning would be happy and as though natural, because, her three powers being in order with God, the creature would have order within herself and outside of herself, and the Kingdom of the Will of God and that of the creature would not be a divided Kingdom, but a single one, and therefore Its dominion and regime would be one. More so, since My Will does not know how to reign where there is no order and harmony - inseparable qualities and indispensable properties of the Divine Persons; and the soul can never be ordered and harmonize with her Creator if she does not have her three powers open to receive from God His qualities ordered and His properties harmonized, in such a way that, finding the Divine harmonies and the supreme order of the Divine Kingdom and of the human kingdom, My Will may make them one and reign in It with Its full dominion.

“Ah! My daughter, how much disorder reigns in the three powers of the human soul. One can say that they have shut the door on Our face, they have barricaded the paths to prevent Our passing and to break the communications with Us, while it was the greatest gift We gave man in creating him. These three powers were to serve him to comprehend the One who had created him, to grow in His likeness, and, his will being transfused in that of his Creator, to give Him the right to let It reign. This is why the Supreme Volition cannot reign in the soul if these three powers – intellect, memory and will – do not hold hands in order to return to the purpose for which God created man. Therefore, pray that these three powers may return to the order and the harmony of their Creator, so that My Supreme Will may reign with Its full triumph.”

Finding myself in my usual state, I saw my adorable Jesus with a cross in His hand, all full of white pearls. Giving it to me as gift, He placed it on my breast, and it sank into my heart as inside a room. Then He told me: "My daughter, the cross is a treasure, and the safest place in which to keep this valuable treasure is one’s own soul. Or rather, it is a safe place when the soul is disposed to receive this treasure with patience, with resignation and with the other virtues, because the virtues are as many keys that secure it, so as not to spoil it or expose it to thieves. But if it does not find especially the gold key of patience, this treasure will find many thieves, who will steal it and spoil it."

From the Calendar--August 10, 1908 Volume 8

Then He [Jesus] added: "Love never says ‘enough’. Even if Love scourged the soul and tore her to pieces, those pieces would cry out Love. Love never says ‘enough’; It is not yet content – It pulverizes those pieces, It reduces them to nothing, and into that nothing It blows Its fire, and gives it Its own shape. It mixes nothing human, but only the Divine; and it is then that Love sings Its glories, Its braveries, Its prodigies, saying: ‘I am content – my love has won; it has destroyed the human and built the Divine.’ It happens to Love as to a talented artisan who, having many objects which are not to his liking, breaks them to pieces, puts them on the fire, and keeps them there until they melt, making them lose all of their shape; and then he forms from them many other objects, most beautiful and pleasant, worthy of his talent. It is yet true that for that which is human this action of Love is so very hard, but when the soul sees her gain, she will see how beauty has taken the place of ugliness, richness of poverty, nobility of roughness; and she too will sing the glories of Love."

From the Calendar--August 8, 1926 Volume 19

Jesus kept silent; but then, as though taken by an irresistible emphasis of love, He added: “Oh, power of My Will, how great You are! You alone unite the greatest and highest Being with the littlest and lowest being, making them one. You alone have the virtue of emptying the creature of all that does not belong to You, to be able to form in her, with your reflections, that Eternal Sun which, filling Heaven and earth with Its rays, goes to blend with the Sun of the Supreme Majesty. You alone have this virtue of communicating the supreme strength, in such away that, with your strength, the creature can rise to that single act of God the Creator. Ah, My daughter, when the creature does not live in the unity of My Will, she loses the one strength and remains as though disunited from that strength that fills Heaven and earth and sustains the whole universe as if it were the littlest feather. Now, when the soul does not let herself be dominated by My Will, she loses the one strength in all of her actions, therefore all her acts, not coming out of the same single strength, remain divided among themselves – love is divided, the action separated, the prayer disjointed. Being divided, all the acts of the creature are poor, meager, without light; and so patience is poor, charity is weak, obedience is crippled, humility is blind, prayer is mute, sacrifice is without life, without vigor, because since My Will is missing, the one strength is missing which, uniting everything, gives the same strength to each act of the creature. Therefore, they are left not only divided among themselves, but adulterated by the human will, and so each one is left with its own defect.

“This happened to Adam. By withdrawing from the Supreme Will, he lost the one single strength of His Creator, and since he was left with his limited human strength, he felt hardship in his operating; more so, since the strength that he employed in performing one action would debilitate him, and in having to do another, he would not feel the same strength. So, he touched the poverty of his actions with his own hand: not having the same strength, they were not only divided, but each one had its own defect. It happened as to a rich lord who possesses most extensive properties: as long as they belong to one owner only, he shows off, he makes big purchases; who knows how many servants he maintains under himself, and with the large proceeds he receives, he keeps making new purchases. But, suppose that this property were to be divided among other heirs: that’s it - his great power is already lost; he can no longer show off as before, nor make new purchases; he must limit himself in his expenditures, and his servants are few. So, his greatness, his lordship, has vanished; what is left are just barely the traces of it. So it happened to Adam; by withdrawing from My Will, he lost the one single strength of his Creator, and with it he lost his lordship, his dominion, nor did he feel the strength to show off in good anymore. The same happens for one who is not completely abandoned in the arms of My Will, because with It the strength of good converts into one’s nature, and poverty does not exist.”

From the Calendar--August 7, 1929 Volume 26

I was continuing my acts in the Divine Volition, and I thought to myself: “How can the Divine Will come to reign? What will be the means, the helps, the graces in order to dispose the creatures to let themselves be dominated by It?”

And my always beloved Jesus, moving in my interior, all goodness and tenderness, told me: “My daughter, the principal means in order to make My Divine Fiat reign upon earth are the knowledges about It. The knowledges will form the ways, will dispose the earth to become Its Kingdom; they will form the cities, will act as telegraphs, as telephone, as postal service, as trumpeters, in order to communicate, city to city, creature to creature, nation to nation, the news, the important knowledges about My Divine Will. And the knowledges about It will cast into the hearts the hope, the desire to receive a good so great.

“From here one cannot escape: a good cannot be wanted nor received if it is not known; and if it were received without knowing it, it is as if it were not received. Therefore, the foundations, the hope, the certainty of the Kingdom of My Divine Will will be formed by the knowledges about It. This is why I have told so many of them—because they will be the riches, the nourishment, and the new suns, the new heavens, that the peoples of the Kingdom of My Volition will possess.

“Now, when the knowledges about My Fiat will make their way, disposing those who will have the good of knowing them, My more than paternal Goodness, in order to show the excess of My Love, will place My very Humanity, all the good I did, in each creature, at her disposal, in a way that they will feel such strength and grace as to let themselves be dominated by My Divine Will. And My Humanity will be in the midst of the children of My Kingdom, like Heart in their midst, for the decorum and the honor of My Fiat, and as antidote, grace and defense from all the evils that the human will has produced. The ardor of My Love that wants It to reign is such and so great, that I will perform such excesses of love as to win the most rebellious wills.”

From the Calendar--August 6, 1919 Volume 12

I am going through most bitter days. My poor heart is as though petrified by the pain of the privation of the One Who forms my life, my All. Although resigned, I still cannot do without lamenting to my sweet Jesus, when, almost flying, He passes before me, or moves in my interior. I remember that, during these laments, He once told me: "Abandonment in Me is the image of two torrents, each one pouring into the other with such force that their waters mix together; and forming highest waves of water, they arrive at touching Heaven — to the extent that the bed of those torrents remains dry. The roaring of those waters, their murmuring, is so sweet and harmonious that Heaven, in seeing Itself being touched by those waters, feels honored and shines with new beauty. And the Saints, in chorus, say: ‘This sweet sound and enrapturing harmony is a soul who abandoned herself in God. How beautiful! How beautiful!’

Another day He told me: "What do you fear? Abandon yourself in Me, and you will remain surrounded by Me as if within a circle, in such a way that if enemies, occasions or dangers approach, they will have to deal with Me, not with you; and I will answer for you. True abandonment in Me is rest for the soul and work for Me. If the soul is restless, it means that she is not abandoned in Me: a just pain is restlessness, for one who wants to live by herself, doing great wrong to Me, and great harm to herself."

I was doing my round in the Acts of the Divine Will, and passing from one work to another I arrived at the Creation of Man. And my sweet Jesus, stopping me, with an Indescribable Love that He could not contain, told me: “My daughter, My Love makes Me feel the need of speaking about the Creation of Man. Already the whole of Creation is pregnant with Our Love and speaks, although in mute language. And if it does not speak, it talks with deeds, and it is the greatest narrator of Our Love toward man. And when Our Love was extended in everything—in a way that one could not find any place that Our Love did not cover him and run toward him, and more than sun it would dart him—when the whole of Creation was completed, We Created man.

“But before Creating him, listen to the story of Our Love toward him: Our Adorable Majesty had established to constitute man king of the whole of Creation by giving him the dominion over everything, and by making him lord over all Our Works. But in order to say true king with deeds and not with words, he had to possess in himself everything that We had scattered in Creation, such that in order to be king of the sky, of the sun, of the wind, of the sea, and of everything, he had to possess within himself a sky, a sun, and so forth, in a way that the Creation would be reflected in him, and he, possessing the same qualities, would be reflected in the Creation and would be lord of it. Indeed, if he did not have an eye full of light, how could he enjoy the light of the sun and take however much of it he would want? If he did not have feet and hands in order to tread the earth and take what the earth produces, how could he call himself king of the earth? If he did not have the respiratory organ in order to breathe the air, how could he make use of it? And the same for all the rest.

“Therefore, before Creating man We looked at the whole of Creation, and in Our emphasis of Love We exclaimed: ‘How very beautiful are Our Works, but We will make man the most beautiful among all. We will concentrate everything in him, in a way that We will find Creation outside and inside of him. And as We went molding him, so We enclosed in him the sky of the reason, the sun of the intelligence, the swiftness of the wind in the thought, the extension of space, the strength, the empire in the will, the motion in the soul, in which We enclosed the Sea of Grace, the Celestial air of Our Love and all the senses of the body, as the most beautiful flowering. O man! how very beautiful you are. But not content with this, We placed in him the Great Sun of Our Will. And giving him the Great Gift of the word, so that he could with deeds and with words be the eloquent narrator of his Creator, he was Our Image in which We delighted Ourselves in enriching him with Our Most Beautiful Qualities. But not content with all this, We were taken by Love so exuberant toward him, that Our Immensity entangled him everywhere, wherever and in every instant. Our All-Seeingness looked at him in everything, and even in the fibers of his heart Our Power sustained him, carrying him everywhere in Our Paternal Arms. Our Life, Our Motion, Palpitated in his heartbeat, breathed in his breath, Operated in his hands, Walked in his feet, and arrived at making themselves footstool even under his feet. Our Paternal Goodness, in order to keep this dear son of Ours secure, placed him in the conditions that he could not separate himself from Us, nor We from him. What more could We do and did not do?

“This is why We Love him so much, because he cost Us so much. We disbursed for him Our Love, Our Power, Our Will, and We placed in attitude Our Infinite Wisdom. And We did not want anything other than that he would Love Us and that in everything he would freely Live in Our Will, and he would recognize how much We have Loved him and done for him. These are Our Loving Affectations; who would cruelly want to deny them to Us? But alas! there are unfortunately some who deny them to Us and form the sorrowful notes in Our Love. Therefore be attentive and let your flight in Our Will be continuous.”

[Jesus speaking] “Oh, if you knew what it means for a soul to live in My Will! There is no division between her and Heaven. Wherever My Will is, she is. Her acts, her pains, her words, are in act and operative in every place in which My Will is. And since My Will is everywhere, the soul places herself in the order of creation, and through the electricity of the Supreme Will, she is in communication with all created things. Just as the created things are in order and harmony among themselves, each one is the support of the other, and not one of them can move; and if even one thing created by Me moved – may this never be – the Creation would become all upset; there is a secret accord among them, a mysterious force, such that, while all the spheres live in the space, suspended in the air, without any support, by the power of communication which they have among themselves, each thing sustains the other – in the same way, one who does My Will is in communication with all, and is sustained by all the works of her Creator. Therefore, everyone recognizes her, loves her, and offers her the electricity, the secret, in order to live together with them, suspended between Heaven and earth, all sustained only by the power of the Divine and Supreme Will."

Then, this morning, I was praying and lamenting to Jesus for He was not answering me, especially because He does not stop chastising, and I said to Him: “Why pray if You do not want to answer me? On the contrary, You tell me that the evils will get worse.” And He: "My daughter, good is always good. Even more, you must know that each prayer, each reparation, each act of love, any holy thing that the creature does, is one more paradise that she acquires. So, the simplest holy act will be one more paradise; one act less, a paradise less. In fact, every good act comes from God, and therefore in every good act the soul takes God; and since God contains infinite, innumerable, eternal, immense joys — so many that the very Blessed will not arrive at enjoying them all throughout all eternity — it is no wonder, then, that since each good act acquires God, God is almost bound to substitute them with as many contentments. So, if the soul suffers even distractions for love of Me, in Heaven her intelligence will have more light and will enjoy as many more paradises for as many times as she has sacrificed her intelligence; and so much more will she comprehend God. If she suffers coldness for love of Me, so many paradises will she enjoy of the variety of contentments which are present in my love; if darkness, so many more contentments in my inaccessible light; and so with all the rest. This is what one prayer more or one less means."

From the Calendar--August 2, 1937 Volume 34

[Jesus speaking} “…Therefore, everything is in the possessing of Our Volition, because so did the whole of Creation have its Beginning. Man understood, everything was Our Will, everyone Lived enclosed in It, and in It they found what they wanted: Joys, Peace, Perfect Order, everything was at their disposition. The beginning displaced, all things changed aspect. The Happiness changed into sorrow, the Strength into weakness, the Order into disorder, the Peace into war. Poor man without My Will, he is the true blind one, the poor paralyzed one, who, if He does some good, everything is with difficulty and bitternesses.

“All things, if they are guided by the beginning from which they have had existence, find the way, the firm step, and the resulting happiness of the works or good that they have undertaken. If they lose the beginning, they are turned upside-down, they waver, lose their way, and they end with not knowing how to do anything—and if it seems that they do something, they cause pity.

“Even in human things it happens this way, if the teacher would want to teach to the young boy the consonants and not the vowels, since the vowels run in every word, in every letter, from the lowest science even to the highest, the poor young boy would never learn how to read, and if he would want to he would go mad. What has produced all this evil? The getting out of place from the beginning of the science, from what the vowels are.

“Ah! My daughter, as long as man does not return to his Beginning, does not reenter into My Divine Will, My Creative Work will be a broken, displaced, work. Poor man without the first vowels of My Divine Will, for however much Light It can give him, can speak to him, he will not understand Me because he lacks the Beginning, he lacks the first vowels in order to be able to read My Lessons about My Fiat. Therefore without base, without foundation, without teacher, without defense, his cretinism is so much, that he does not know his poor state, and therefore he does not implore to reenter into My Volition in order to learn the first vowels with which he was Created by God so as to be able to follow to learn the True Celestial Science, and so form all his fortune, as much on earth as in Heaven.

“Therefore I always whisper to the ear of the heart: ‘My child, reenter into My Will. Come into your Beginning if you want to resemble Me, if you want that I would recognize you as My child.’ O! how Sorrowful it is to have some children who do not resemble Me, ignoble, poor, degraded, unhappy. And the reason for all this? Because they rejected the Great Inheritance of the Celestial Father, and constrain Me to cry over their lot. Daughter, pray that everyone recognizes My Will, and you recognize It and appreciate It; Love It more than your own life, and do not let It escape from you for even one instant.”
