Divine Will for every day of the year - February 10, 1924 Volume 16

I was thinking to myself about all that was written in these past days, and I said to myself that they were neither necessary nor serious things. I could have done without putting them on paper, but obedience wanted it so, and I had the duty to say “FIAT” also in this... But as I was thinking about this, my beloved Jesus told me: "Yet, My daughter, everything was necessary in order to make known how to live in My Will. By not saying everything, some quality of how to live in It would be missing, and therefore the writings could not have the full effect of the living in My Will. For example, on the abandonment of living in My Will. If the soul did not live completely abandoned in My Will, she would be like a person who lived in a sumptuous palace, and now leaned out of a window, now out of a balcony, now went down to the front door. In this way the poor one goes through the rooms just shortly or in passing, and therefore she knows nothing of the rule, of the work it takes, of the goods which are in there, of what she can take, and of what she can give. Who knows how many goods are there, and she knows nothing about it. Therefore she does not love as she should love, nor does she esteem that palace as it deserves. Now, for the soul who lives in My Will and is not completely abandoned in It, self reflections, cares of herself, fears, disturbances, are nothing other than the windows, the balconies, the front doors that she forms in My Will; and going out very often, she is forced to see and feel the miseries of human life. And since the miseries are her own property while the riches of My Will are Mine, she becomes more attached to the miseries than to the riches, so she will not love nor enjoy the meaning of living in My Will. And since she formed the main entrance, one day or another she will go out to live in the miserable hovel of her own will. See, then, how complete abandonment in Me is necessary in order to live in My Will. My Will does not need the miseries of the human will; It wants the creature to live together with It — beautiful, just as she was delivered from Its Womb, without the miserable provision she made herself in the exile of life. Otherwise, there would be disparity, which would bring sorrow to My Will and unhappiness to the human will.

“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."

Then, while writing, I was thinking to myself: “Before I write certain little things that Jesus tells me, it seems to me that they are of very little importance, and therefore it seems that it is not necessary to put them on paper. But as I am in the act of writing them, the way in which Jesus orders them in my interior changes the scene, and though small in their appearance, they seem to be of great importance in their substance. Given all this, what an account will those who had, and have authority over me, have to give God, when they have not imposed themselves through obedience in order to make me write? How many things have I neglected, when I received no command?”

And Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “Daughter, they will certainly have to give Me an account. If they believe it is I, the account will be very strict, because believing that is I and not taking into account even one word, is as if they wanted to suffocate a sea of good for the benefit of creatures, because My Word always comes from the strength of the Creative Power. In fact, I pronounced one Fiat in Creation, and I extended a heaven studded with innumerable millions of stars; another Fiat, and I formed the sun. I did not say twenty words to form so many things in Creation, but one Fiat was enough for Me. Now, My Word still contains Its Creative Power, and you cannot know if My Word is directed to forming a heaven, a star, a sea, a sun, for souls. Therefore, by not taking it into account, and by not displaying it for the creatures, they reject this heaven, this sun, stars and sea, back into Me, while they could have done so much good to creatures. And the consequent damage would be blamed on the one who, not taking it into consideration, has suffocated it within Me. If then they do not believe, it is even worse, because they are so blind as to not have the eyes to see the Sun of My Word; and incredulity leads to obstinacy and to hardness of heart, while belief softens the heart and disposes it to be subdued by grace, and to receive the sight in order to comprehend My Truths.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 8, 1911 Volume 10

Continuing in my usual state, I spent about six days all immersed in the love of my blessed Jesus, to the point that, at times, I felt I could take no more, and I would say to Jesus: ‘Enough, enough, I can take no more.’ I felt as if I was in a bath of love that penetrated deep into the marrow of my bones. Now Jesus would speak to me of love and of how much He loved me, and now I would speak of love to Him. The beautiful thing is that sometimes Jesus would not let Himself be seen, and I, swimming in this bath of love, would feel the circle of my poor nature crack; I would lament to Him, and He would whisper in my ear: "Love is I, and if you feel love, it is sure that I am with you."

Other times, as I would lament, He would say in my ear, but all of a sudden: "Luisa, you are My Paradise on earth, and your love renders Me happy."

And I: ‘Jesus, my Love, what are You saying? Do You want to make fun of me? You are already happy because of Yourself; why do You say that You are happy because of me?’

And He: "Listen to Me carefully, my daughter, and you will comprehend what I am telling you. There is no created thing which does not receive life from My Heart. All creatures are like many cords that come from My Heart and have life from Me. By necessity and naturally, everything they do is all reflected in My Heart, be it even one movement. As a consequence, if they do evil, if they do not love Me, they give Me continuous bother; that cord resounds in My Heart with sounds of displeasures, of bitternesses, of sins, and forms in It such lugubrious sounds as to render Me unhappy on the part of that cord or life that comes from Me. On the other hand, if it loves Me and is all intent on contenting Me, that cord gives Me continuous pleasure and forms festive and sweet sounds, which harmonize with My own Life; and on the part of that cord, I enjoy so much as to be rendered happy and to enjoy My own Paradise because of it. If you comprehend well all this, you will no longer say that I make fun of you."

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.’

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 7, 1904 Volume 6

I spent the whole last month in much suffering, therefore I omitted writing; and as I continue to feel very weak and in suffering, very often a fear comes to me that it isn’t that I cannot write, but that I do not want to, and as an excuse I say that I cannot. Indeed it is true that I feel great repugnance and I must make a great effort to write, and only obedience could conquer me. So, in order to remove any doubt I decided to write, not everything, but only a few words that I remember, to see whether I truly can or cannot.

I remember that one day, as I was feeling ill, He told me: “My daughter, what will happen if the music ceases in the world?” And I: “Lord, what music should cease?” And He added: “My beloved, your music. In fact, when the soul suffers for Me, prays, repairs, praises, thanks continually, this is continuous music to My hearing, which takes Me away from hearing the iniquity of the earth, and therefore from chastising as appropriate. Not only this, but it is music in the human minds, and it diverts them from doing worse things. So, if I take you, would the music not cease? For Me it is nothing, because it would be nothing other than transporting it from the earth to Heaven, and instead of having it from the earth, I would have it in Heaven. But how shall the world go on?”

Then, I was thinking to myself: “These are the usual pretexts so as not to take me. There are so many good souls in the world, who do so much for God, and among all of them I perhaps occupy but the last place, and yet He says that if He takes me the music would cease? There are so many who do it better for Him!” While I was thinking of this, He came like a flash and added: “My daughter, what you say is true – that there are many good souls who do much for Me – but how difficult it is to find one who gives Me everything so that I may give all of Myself. Some retain a little bit of love of self, some self-esteem, some one affection, be it even for holy people; some a little vanity; some retain a little bit of attachment to the earth, some to interest. In sum, some a little thing, some another – all keep something of their own, and this impedes that everything be Divine in them. So, since what comes from them is not fully Divine, their music will not be able to produce those effects to My hearing and to the human minds. Therefore, their much doing will not be able to produce those effects, nor please Me as much as the little doing of one who keeps nothing for herself, and who gives herself completely to Me.”

[Jesus speaking] “… Therefore, as the soul comes to possess the Supreme Fiat, the first act of God is to place His Goods in common with her; and centering His Sun in her, through the current if Its Light, He makes His Goods descend into the depth of the soul. And she takes whatever she wants, and through that same current of the light which she possesses, she makes them ascend again to her Creator, as the greatest homage of love and of gratitude; then, that same current makes them descend once again into her. So, these Goods ascend and descend continuously, as the certainty and the seal of the communion existing between Creator and creature.

“Such was the state of Adam when he was created, until he sinned – that which was Ours, was his; the fullness of Light centered in him, in view of the fact that his will was one with Ours, brought him the communion of Our Goods. How We felt Our Happiness redoubled — on the part of Creation, not because of anything else – as We saw Adam, Our son, happy of Our own Happiness. In fact, since his will was one with Ours, Our Will could pour Our Goods and Our Happiness in torrents upon him; so much so that, unable to contain it all, because he did not have the capacity of his Creator, while being filled to the brim to the point of overflowing, he would make all the rest ascend to the One from whom he had received it. And what did he make ascend? His perfect Love, which he had received from God; his Sanctity, his Glory, which he possessed in common with Us, so as to almost match Us with Happiness, Love and Glory. We gave him Happiness – Happiness he gave to Us; We gave him Love, Sanctity and Glory – Love, Sanctity and Glory he gave to Us. My daughter, to possess a Divine Will is something astonishing; the human nature cannot comprehend everything – it feels, it possesses, and knows not how to express.”

[Jesus speaking] “… In creating man, I acted like a king who, wanting to make his kingdom happy, takes a million and makes it circulate, so that whoever wants it may take from it. However, as much as it circulates, only a few take a few cents. Now, the king is anxious to know whether the peoples are taking the good he wants to do for them, and he asks whether his million is finished so as to put out more millions. But he is answered: ‘Majesty, just a few cents.’

“The king feels sorrow in hearing that his people is not receiving his goods, nor does it appreciate them. So, going out into the midst of his subjects, he begins to see some covered with rags, some sick, some starving, some shivering with cold, some homeless. In his sorrow, the king bursts into sobs, and says: ‘Ah, had they taken my money I would see none of them dishonoring me, covered with rags, but rather, well dressed; nor would I see them sick, but healthy. I would see no one on an empty stomach and almost dead from starvation, but full. Had they taken my money, no one would be homeless; they could have very well built themselves a room in which to take shelter...’ In sum, for each misfortune he sees in his kingdom, he has a sorrow, a tear; and he cries over his million which the ingratitude of his people rejects. However, the goodness of this king is so great that, in spite of all this ingratitude, he does not withdraw this million; he lets it continue to circulate, hoping that other generations may take the good which others have rejected, so that he may receive the glory of the good which he has done for his kingdom.

“So I do: I will not withdraw My Love which has been released — It will continue to go wandering. Its sobbing will last still, until It finds souls who would take this Love of Mine up to the last cent, so that My crying may cease, and I may receive the glory of the dowry of Love which I released for the good of creatures.

“But do you know who are the fortunate ones who will make the sobbing of My Love cease? The souls who will live in My Will. They will take all the Love rejected by the other generations; by the power of My Creative Will, they will multiply It as much as they want, and for as many creatures as have rejected It. Then will My sobbing cease, and the sob of joy will take its place; and Love, satisfied, will give to these fortunate ones all the goods and the happiness which the others did not want."

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.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 3, 1929 Volume 25

… Oh! power of the Divine Will!—You know how to change things, and wherever You are present You make everything appear as beautiful and good. Even more, with Your Light You bejewel the pains and make them appear as rare and precious pearls that enclose seas of joy and of happiness within themselves. How ingenious You are, oh, Divine Will! Under Your empire of Light one can do nothing but remain mute, love You and follow You.

But while my little mind was wandering within Its light, and in the terrible nightmare of the privation of Jesus, I just barely felt Him move in my interior, and He told me: “My daughter, courage, do not lose heart—the whole of Heaven is fixed upon you, and by the irresistible force of My Fiat they feel such identification with you, that they cannot do without looking at you, loving you and concurring in all your acts. You must know that the Angels, the Saints, the Sovereign Queen, are all one piece; their beings are nothing other than one single act of Divine Will. Therefore, nothing but Divine Will appears in each of them; the thought, the gaze, the word, the work, the step—nothing appears but Fiat! Fiat!, and this constitutes all the fullness of the happiness of all the Saints.

“Now, one who does and lives in My Will on earth is similar to the inhabitants of Heaven—that is, she is all one piece, and forms one single piece with them, in such a way that if the pilgrim soul thinks, the Saints think together with her; if she loves, if she operates, they love and operate with her. There are such tight bonds between her and Heaven, that all together form one single act of My Will; so much so, that all the Celestial Inhabitants are on the lookout to see what the creature on earth does, so that nothing may escape them. Wherever My Divine Will reigns, It has Its Heaven, and has the virtue of kidnapping Heaven onto earth and the earth into Heaven, and of forming one single thing. Therefore, courage, do not lose heart; think that you are dealing with a Divine Will, and this should make you content.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - February 2, 1921 Volume 12

Continuing in my usual state, I was fusing all of myself in the Divine Volition, and I said to myself: “My Jesus, I want to love You, and I want so much love as to compensate for the love of all generations which have been, and which will be. But who can give me so much love as to be able to love for all? My Love, in Your Will there is the Creative Power; therefore in Your Will I myself want to create so much love as to compensate for, and surpass the love of all, and all that all creatures are obliged to give to God Our Creator...”

While I was doing this, I said: “How much nonsense I am saying.” And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: "My daughter, surely in My Will there is the Creative Power. Billions and billions of stars came out from one single FIAT. Billions and billions of acts of Grace which communicate themselves to souls, come out from the FIAT MIHI of My Mama, from which Redemption took origin. These acts of Grace are more beautiful, more shining, more varied than stars; and while the stars are fixed and do not multiply, the acts of Grace multiply to infinity; they run in every instant, attract the creatures, delight them, strengthen them and give them life. Ah! if creatures could see the supernatural order of Grace, they would hear such harmonies, and see such an enchanting scene as to believe that that’s their Paradise. Now, the third FIAT too must run together with the other two FIATs. It must multiply to infinity, and in every instant It must give as many acts for as many acts of Grace as are unleashed from My Womb; for as many stars, for as many drops of water, and for as many created things as were unleashed by the FIAT of Creation. It must merge with them and say: ‘As many acts as you are — so many I do.’

“These three FIATs have the same value and power. You disappear – it I the FIAT that acts, and therefore you too can say in My Omnipotent FIAT: ‘I want to create so much love, so many adorations, so many blessings, so much glory to my God as to compensate for everyone and for everything.’ Your acts will fill Heaven and earth; they will multiply themselves with the acts of Creation and of Redemption, and will become one.

“All this will seem astonishing and incredible to some; in this case they would have to doubt about My Creative Power. And then, when it is I who want it, and who give this power, every doubt ceases. Am I perhaps not free to do whatever I want, and to give to whomever I want? You — be attentive. I will be with you; I will overshadow you with My Creative Power, and I will accomplish what I want upon you."

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."

… 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.

“Another image is the human nature. United with the soul, it is beautiful; it sees, it hears, it walks, it operates, it speaks, it does not stink; separated from the soul, it becomes putrid, it stinks in a horrible way, it is disgusting to look at; it can be said that it can no longer be recognized. Who caused such remarkable change from a body that is alive to a dead body? The lack of the murmuring of the soul, of its continuous motion that had primacy in the human nature.

“As such was My Will placed for the human will—as soul, from which it was to receive life, its continuous murmuring. So, as long as it stays united with Mine, it is a prodigy of Life, of Beauty; separated from Mine, it loses legs, hands, word, sight, warmth, life, and, as a consequence, it becomes so horrid, more than a cadaver, as to deserve to be buried inside the deepest abyss, because its stench is unbearable. So, one who does not stay united with My Will, loses the life of his soul, therefore he can do nothing good, and everything he does is without life.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 30, 1906 Volume 7

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: "My daughter, how necessary it is that the soul be constant in doing the good which she has started. In fact, though she has a beginning, she will have no end, and not having an end, it is necessary that she conform to the ways of the Eternal God. God is just, is holy, is merciful, He is the One who contains everything – but perhaps only for one day? No – always, always, always... In the same way, the soul must not be patient, humble and obedient one day, and impatient, proud and capricious another day. These are broken virtues, it is like mixing black and white, light and darkness; everything is disorder, everything is confusion – ways which are completely dissimilar to her Creator. In this soul there is continuous war, because passions wage war against her; in fact, in seeing themselves being nourished so very often, they hope the victory is theirs. Demons, creatures, and even virtues themselves in seeing themselves disappointed, wage a fierce war against her, and end up nauseating her. If these souls are saved – oh, how much work the fire of Purgatory will have to do!

“On the other hand, for a constant soul everything is peace; mere constancy itself already keeps everything in its place; passions already feel they are dying, and who is the one who, nearing death, thinks about waging war against anyone? Constancy is the sword that puts everything to flight, it is the chain that binds all virtues, in such a way as to feel caressed by them continuously; and the fire of Purgatory will have no work to do, because constancy has ordered everything and has made the ways of the soul similar to those of the Creator."

Divine Will for every day of the year - January 29, 1928 Volume 23

I was reading in the 20th volume what regarded the Divine Will, and I felt such impression, as if I would see a Divine Life, alive and palpitating, flowing in the written words. I could feel the strength of the Light, the Life of the Warmth of Heaven, the virtue, as though operating, of the Divine Fiat in what I was reading, and I thanked my Jesus from the heart, who, with so much Love, had deigned to make me write.

But while I was doing this, my Beloved Jesus, as though unable to contain, Himself, the throbs of His Heart, came out from within my interior, and throwing His arms around my neck, He pressed me tightly to His Heart to let me feel His ardent heartbeats, and told me: “My daughter, you thank Me for I have made you write what regards My Will—Doctrine all of Heaven, and that has the virtue of communicating the Life of It, palpitating and all celestial, to those who will read these Writings.

“My Will is palpitating in the midst of creatures, but It lives suffocated by the human will. These Writings will make Its heartbeat felt so strongly, that It will suffocate the human will and will take Its first place of Life that is due to It, because My Will is the heartbeat and the Life of all Creation. Therefore, the value of these Writings is immense; they contain the value of a Divine Will. If they were written in gold, they would not surpass the great value that they contain in themselves.

“These Writings are suns impressed with characters of most refulgent Light in the walls of the Celestial Fatherland, and they form the most beautiful ornament for those walls of the Eternal City, in which all the Blessed remain enraptured and amazed in reading the characters of the Supreme Will. Therefore, greater grace I could not give in these times, than transmitting, through you, the characters of the Celestial Fatherland to creatures, that will bring the Life of Heaven into their midst.

“So, just as you thank Me, I thank you, for being willing to receive My lessons and to make the sacrifice of writing under My dictation. It was My Will that, while you were writing, made flow the living virtue of Its ardent, eternal and vivifying heartbeat, that It impressed in your characters. This is why, in rereading them, you feel the renewing of it, all celestial, that is impressed in them. Oh! how hard it will be for those who will read these Writings, not to feel the palpitating Life of My Will, and not to be stirred, by the virtue of Its vivifying heartbeat, from the lethargy they are in.

“These Writings on My Supreme Fiat, by the strength of Its Light, will eclipse the human will; they will be balm to the human wounds, they will be opium to all that is earth; passions will feel themselves die, and from their death will rise again the Life of Heaven in the midst of creatures. They will be the true celestial army that, while laying siege to the human will and to all the evils produced by it, will make peace, the lost happiness, the Life of My Will, rise again in the midst of creatures. The siege that they will lay will cause no harm to anyone, because My Will is to lay siege to the human will so that it may no longer tyrannize the poor creatures, but may leave them free in the Kingdom of My Will.

“This is why I have insisted, and I insist so much in making you write, I have kept you on the cross, I have sacrificed you—it was necessary; it was about the most important thing, it was the echo of Heaven, the Life of up there that I want to form upon earth. And this is the reason for My continuous refrain: ‘Be attentive, omit nothing, and may your flight in My Will be continuous.’”

I was praying, and my sweet Jesus drew me to Himself, and transforming me completely into Himself, told me: "My daughter, let us pray together, so as to hold Heaven in our power, and prevent the earth from falling even more into the current of evil." So we prayed together, and then He added: "While on earth, My Humanity saw Itself as very narrow before the Divinity; and since It was inseparable from the Divinity, I did nothing but enter into the Immensity of the Eternal Will, and open many founts for the good of creatures. In fact, since they were being opened by a Man-God, I could give the human family the right to approach these founts, and take whatever they wanted. Therefore, I formed the fount of Love, that of Prayer, the other of Reparation, the fount of Forgiveness, that of My Blood, another of Glory.

“Now, do you want to know who shakes these founts so as to make them rise and overflow, in such a way that all the earth may be inundated? The soul who enters into My Will. As she enters, if she wants to love, she approaches the fount of Love, and by loving, or even if by placing the intention to love, she shakes the fount. Being shaken, the waters grow, overflow and flood the whole earth; and sometimes this shaking is so intense, that the waves rise up so high as to touch Heaven and flood the Celestial Fatherland. If she wants to pray, repair, impetrate forgiveness for sinners, or give Me glory, she shakes the founts of Prayer, of Reparation, of Forgiveness; and they rise, overflow and flood everyone. How many goods did My Humanity not impetrate for man? I left the doors open, so that they might enter with all ease — but how few are those who enter."

[Jesus speaking]

“… Now, the work of the creature in Our Will enters into Our works, and Our Will becomes nourishment, preservation and Act of the very act of the creature. These acts done in Our Will by the creature, place themselves around Us, and transfused in all created things, sing Our perpetual Glory.

“How different is Our Work, and the Love with which We operate, from that of the creature! In Us, Our Love for the work We do is so great that We do not allow it to go outside of Ourselves, that it may lose nothing of the Beauty with which it was made. On the other hand, if the creature of reason does a good work, or even one virtuous act, she is unable to keep it with herself. Rather, many times she doesn’t know what happened to her work, whether it got dirty, or whether they reduced it to a rag — sign of her little love for her own works. And since the creature, because of sin, went out from her foundation – that is, the prime Divine Will from Which she took origin – she lost true love toward God, toward herself, and toward her works.

“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.

… Afterwards, He made Himself seen as a little child, staring at me so much, as to remain as though impressed within me; and He wanted me to look at Him, but so much as to remain impressed in Him. Then, all love and tenderness, He told me: “My daughter, this is the true image of the living in My Eternal Will: the soul copies the Divine Will within herself, and the Supreme Will copies the soul, in such a way that your Creator keeps the copy of your image impressed within His womb. He holds her so dear, because He sees her exactly as He released her from her origin; she has lost nothing of her freshness and beauty. His paternal features are impressed in this copy; and this copy, in the paternal womb of God, sings for Him the praises of all Creation with all His works, and whispers continuously to His ear: ‘You made everything for me. You loved me so much, and still do, and I want to convert everything – everything into love for You.’ This copy is the portent of God in His womb; she is the memory of all His works.

“This is the copy of the soul in God, and the copy of God in the soul, and the carrying out of the Divine Life within the creature. How beautiful is the Kingdom of My Will – the nothing dissolved in the All, and the All fused in the nothing; the lowliness of the creature rising into the Divine height, and the Divine height descending into the depth of the creature. They are two beings bound together, inseparable, transfused, identified, such that it can barely be recognized that they are two lives palpitating together. All the magnificence, the sanctity, the sublimeness, the prodigies of the Kingdom of My Will, will be exactly this: the faithful copy of the soul in God, and the copy of God, whole and beautiful, in the soul. Therefore, the children of the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat will be as many images of little gods in My Kingdom.”

After this, I continued to think about the Prodigies of the Divine Volition, and my beloved Jesus added: “Daughter of My Will, as your Jesus said, in descending from Heaven to earth: ‘I leave and I stay;’ when He Ascended into Heaven He said: ‘I stay and I leave.’ My Word repeats upon descending as Sacrament in the creatures: ‘I leave and I remain in the tabernacles.’ In the same way, the creature who Lives in My Will can repeat My Word in all her acts. As soon as she begins her act, her Jesus is formed in that act. My Life has the virtue of Multiplying Itself to Infinity as many times as I want. Therefore, in all truth, she can say: ‘I leave and I stay. I leave for Heaven to beatify It, to reach my home and to make known to everyone my dear Jesus, Whom I enclosed in my act so that all may enjoy Him and Love Him. I stay on earth, as my life, support and defense for all my brothers and sisters.’ How Beautiful one Act in My Will!”

… At that moment, I remembered the needs that M. had told me, and I prayed Our Lord to answer him. In the meantime, I seemed to see him with a silver-colored garment; a black veil descended from his head, covering part of his eyes, and this veil seemed to communicate itself to another person who was behind him. I could not understand anything of this, and blessed Jesus told me: "The silver-colored garment that you see on him is his purity in operating, and the black veil is the ‘human’ that he mixes with it. This human that he mixes is like a veil which, covering the light of Truth that shines in his mind, sometimes makes him act with fear, or to content someone else, and not according to the Truth which My Grace makes shine in his mind."

And I: “Lord, grant him what he told me, for it is something that regards Your glory very much.” And He: "For an irresolute soul, temporizing gives time and space to the enemies to wage battle; while by not giving them time, and by showing oneself resolute and unshakeable, the doors are closed to the enemies, and one has the good of not even exposing oneself to the brawl. So, if he wants to reach his goal quickly, these are the means, and I will be with him, and he will be victorious. And then, the very ones who are most opposed to him will be the most supportive, and will admire him the most, seeing that he has undone their human views."

After going through most bitter days of privation, my poor heart was struggling between the fear of having lost Him and the hope that, who knows, I might see Him again. Oh God, what a bloody war this poor heart of mine had to bear! The pain was so great that now it would become ice-cold, now it would be squeezed as though under a press, and would drip blood. While I was in this state, I felt my sweet Jesus near me; He removed a veil from me which prevented me from seeing Him, so finally I was able to see Him. Immediately I said to Him: “Ah, Lord! You don’t love me any more!”

And He: “Yes, yes... What I recommend to you is correspondence to My grace, and in order to be faithful, you must be like the echo that resounds in an empty space: as soon as a voice is emitted, immediately, without the slightest hesitation, one can hear the echo booming after it. In the same way, as soon as you begin to receive My grace, without even waiting for Me to finish giving it, begin immediately the echo of your correspondence.”
