… After this, I continued in my abandonment in the Divine Fiat. It seemed to me that in It there are no stops, there is always something to do—but a doing that does not tire; on the contrary, it fortifies, it makes one happy and rejoice in one’s long journey.

But while I was thinking about this, my Highest Good, Jesus, added: “My daughter, one who lives in My Divine Volition always walks, because she has the round of eternity at her disposal, that never ends. And by never stopping, she always takes; and if she stopped, one little stop, one step less, would cost her the loss of a Divine step and happiness. In fact, My Fiat is an act ever new of Happiness, of Grace and of indescribable and unreachable Beauty, and if the soul walks, she takes, while if she stops, she does not take, because not having followed, step by step, the path of My Divine Volition, she has known nothing of the Happiness and Beauty that My Will has issued in that step.

“And who can tell you the great difference between one who lives in My Divine Will and one who lives in the human will? One who lives in the human will stops constantly, her round is so short that if she wants to extend her step, she finds no place on which to put her foot. At each step she takes, she gets now a displeasure, now a disillusion, and she feels one more weakness, that drags her even to sin.

Oh! how brief is the circle of the human will—full of miseries, of precipices and of bitternesses. Yet, they love so much to live in its circle! What madness, what foolishness to be deplored!”

As I was in my usual state, my sweet Jesus came for just a little and in passing, and He said to me: "My daughter, My Love feels an irresistible need for souls who live in My Will to multiply, because they are the places of My quarters. My Love wants to do good to all, but sins prevent Me from pouring My Benefits upon them, therefore I keep searching for these quarters; in them I am not prevented from pouring My Graces, and through them, the towns and the people that surround them take part in them. Therefore, the more quarters I have on earth, the greater vent can I give to My Love, and the more it pours itself out into benefits for the good of humanity."

[Jesus speaking]

“… Now, just as in order to form Redemption it was necessary for My Humanity and for My human will to enter into this Divine Will, for the fulfillment of the ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua’ on earth as It is in Heaven, it is now necessary that I open again the doors of My Eternal Will, that I let one creature enter, and that, giving her free field, I let her do from her greatest to her tiniest act in the All-seeingness, Immensity and Power of My Will.

“As you enter into It to emit your thoughts, words, works, steps, reparations, pains, love and thankgivings, My Will will coin all your acts. And they will receive the Divine Image, with the value of Divine Acts, which, being infinite, will be able to make up for all, reach all, and have so much ascendancy over the Divinity as to make this Supreme Will descend upon earth, bringing the goods It contains.

“It will happen as to metal, to gold, to silver. Until the image of the king is minted on it, it cannot be given the value of money; but as soon as it is minted, it acquires value as currency and it circulates throughout the whole kingdom. There is no town, village or important place, in which it does not enjoy its prestige as money, and there is no creature who can live without it... Its metal may be vile or precious – it does not matter. As long as the image of the king is impressed on it, it runs through the whole kingdom, enjoys supremacy over all, and makes itself loved and respected by all. In the same way, everything which the soul does in My Will, since the Divine Image is minted on it, runs through Heaven and earth, has supremacy over all, does not refuse to give itself to whomever wants it, and there is no place in which its beneficial effects are not enjoyed."

Now, while He was saying this, we prayed together, and Jesus let my intelligence enter His Will. Together, we offered to the Supreme Majesty the homage, the Glory, the submission, the adoration of all created intelligences. At the contact with the Supreme Will, a Divine Image was impressed in the homages and adorations, and they diffused over all created intelligences like many speaking messengers, which placed themselves in order in the Creation; all of them, in relation with the Supreme Will. But who can say what one could see and understand?

My most sweet Jesus added: "My daughter, have you seen? Only by entering My Will, all this can happen. Therefore, continue to let your gazes, your words, your heart and all the rest of you, enter into It, and you will see surprising things."

[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."

… So, while I was thinking of this, my lovable Jesus, all goodness, told me: “My daughter, all things down here, both in the supernatural order and in the natural order, are all veiled. Only in Heaven are they unveiled, because in the Celestial Fatherland there are no veils, but things can be seen as they are in themselves. So, up there the intellect does not need to work in order to comprehend them, because of their own they show themselves for what they are; and if there is any work to do in the Blessed Dwelling—if it can be called work at all—it is that of enjoying and delighting in the things that, unveiled, one sees.

“On the other hand, down here it is not so. Since the human nature is spirit and body, the veil of the body prevents the soul from seeing My Truths; the Sacraments and all other things are veiled. I Myself, Word of the Father, had the veil of My Humanity; all My words, My Gospel, in the form of examples and of similes; and only those who drew near Me to listen to Me with faith in their hearts, with humility and with the will to know the truths that I manifested to them in order to put them into practice, could comprehend Me. By doing this, they tore the veils that hid My Truths, and found the good that was in them.

“Through faith, through humility and by wanting to know My Truths, it was a work that they were doing; and with this work they would tear the veil and find My Truths as they are in themselves; and therefore they remained bound to Me and to the good that My Truths contained. Others, who would not do this work, would touch the veil of My Truths, not the fruit that was inside; therefore they remained on an empty stomach, they could not understand anything; and turning their back to Me, they departed from Me.

“So are My Truths that, with so much love, I have manifested to you about My Divine Will. So that they may shine like unveiled Suns, as they are, creatures must do their work, walk the way in order to touch them—that is faith; they must desire to want to know them, and pray, and humble their intellect in order to open it, so as to let the Good and the Life of My Truths enter into them. If they do this, they will tear the veil and will find them, more than refulgent sun; otherwise, they will remain blind, and I will repeat the saying of the Gospel: ‘You have eyes and do not see, ears and do not hear, tongue and are mute.’ …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 1, 1900 Volume 3

My adorable Jesus continues to come only very few times, and for a short time. This morning I felt all annihilated and I almost did not dare to go in search of my highest Good; but, always benign, He came, and wanting to infuse trust in me, told me: “My daughter, there is no one who can stand before my Majesty and purity; rather, all are forced to be terrified and struck by the thunderbolt of my sanctity. Man would almost want to flee from Me, because his misery is such and so great, that he does not have the courage to stand before the Divine Being. And here is why, giving the field to My mercy, I took on My Humanity which, tempering the rays of the Divinity, is the means to infuse in man trust and courage to come to Me. Placing himself before My Humanity, which spreads temperate rays of the Divinity, man has the good of being able to purify, sanctity and even divinize himself in my very deified Humanity.

“Therefore, you — remain always before My Humanity, keeping it as a mirror through which you will clean all of your stains; not only this, but as a mirror through which, by reflecting yourself in it, you will acquire Beauty, and little by little you will keep adorning yourself in My own Likeness. In fact, it is a property of a mirror to make an image appear within it, similar to that of the one who is reflecting himself in it. If such is the material mirror, much more so the Divine, because My Humanity serves man as mirror in order to reflect My Divinity. And here is how all goods come to man from My Humanity.”

Continuing in my poor state, it seemed that He came more than once, and I seemed to see Him as a Child, as though surrounded by a shadow. He said to me: “My daughter, don’t you feel the freshness of My shadow? Rest in it, for you will find refreshment.” And it seemed that we rested together in His shadow, and I felt all reinvigorated being close to Him. Then He continued: “My beloved, if you love Me, I do not want you to look either inside or outside of yourself, at whether you are warm or cold, at whether you do much or little, or at whether you suffer or enjoy. All this must be destroyed in you. You must have your eyes fixed only on whether you do as much as you can for Me, and everything to please Me. The other ways, as high, sublime and industrious as they might be, cannot please Me and content My Love. Oh, how many souls falsify true devotion and profane the holiest works with their own will, always seeking themselves. Even in holy things, if one seeks her own way and taste and the satisfaction of herself, if she finds herself, she escapes from God and does not find Him.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 30, 1929 Volume 26

… I continued to follow the Divine Will, and my sweet Jesus added: “My daughter, the creature without My Will is like a child who has no strength to be able to sustain a weight, or to do works so useful as to allow him to support, himself, his little existence. And if one wanted to force him to lift a heavy object or to sustain a work, the child, seeing himself impotent and without strength, maybe would try, but in seeing that he cannot even move that object, nor sustain that work, the poor little one would burst into tears and would do nothing about it; and in order to put him in feast it would be enough to give him a candy.

“On the other hand, one who possesses My Divine Will has the strength of an adult man—or rather, the Divine Strength; and if he were told to lift the heavy object, without becoming troubled, he takes it as if it were nothing; while the poor little one would remain crushed under it. If one wants him to sustain a work, he will put himself in feast because of the gain and the profit he will be given; and if one wanted to give him a candy, he would despise it and would say: ‘Give me the just profit for my work, for I must live from it.’

“See then, one who has My Divine Will has sufficient strength for anything; so, everything is easy for her; even suffering, as she feels strong, she looks at it as a new gain. Why are many unable to bear anything, and it seems that a child’s weakness follows them? It is the strength of My Divine Will that is missing—this is the cause of all evils. Therefore, be attentive, My daughter, never to go out of My Divine Will.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 29, 1910 Volume 9

Continuing in my usual state, I felt I was so very bad — and even more, I felt troubled because even the confessor says that I have very much fallen out of my early state, otherwise Jesus would come. So, having received Communion, I lamented to blessed Jesus about His privations, asking Him to have the goodness of telling me what is the evil I do, for I would gladly give my life rather than displease Him: “How many times have I told You: if You see that I am about to offend You, even slightly, make me die.” And Jesus told me: "My daughter, do not trouble yourself. Have I not said years ago that in order to chastise the world I would not come so often to relieve Myself with you, and as a consequence, I would not come too often, though I would never leave you; and in order to make up for my frequent coming and going, I would permit Mass and Communion every day, so that you might draw the strength which you used to draw from My continuous visits; so much so, that I reached the point of threatening the confessor if he would not offer to do it? Yet, who does not know the chastisements that have happened in the meantime? Entire cities destroyed, rebellions, the withdrawal of grace from the evil, and also from the very religious who are evil, so that those poisons, those wounds which they had inside, might come out... Ah! I can take no more, the sacrileges are enormous; yet, this is still nothing compared to the chastisements that will come! Had I not said this before, you would have some reason to become alarmed.

“You, however, must lean on two pillars to be able to live with full confidence. One is My Will. In My Will there cannot be sins; My Will smashes all passions and sins to pieces – even more, It pulverizes them, to the point of destroying their roots. If you lean on the pillar of My Will, darkness will convert into light, doubts into certainty, hopes into possession. The second pillar on which you must lean is the firm will and continuous attention not to offend Me, even slightly; disposing one’s own will to suffer everything, to face everything, to be submitted to everyone, rather than displease Me. When the soul sees that she is leaning continuously on these pillars, which form more than her very life, she can live with greater confidence than if she lived with My continuous favors. More so, since I permit this state also to dispose you to departing from this earth."

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 28, 1902 Volume 4

Continuing in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself, and I found my adorable Jesus who, not wanting to show me the troubles of the world, told me: "My daughter, withdraw — do not want to see the evils, most grave, which are in the world." And on saying this, He withdrew me Himself, and while carrying me He repeated: "What I recommend to you is a spirit of continuous prayer. The continuous effort of the soul to converse with Me, whether with her heart, or with her mind, with her mouth, or even with a simple intention — renders her so beautiful in my sight, that the notes of her heart harmonize with the notes of My Heart. I feel so drawn to converse with this soul, that I manifest to her not only the works ad extra [external] of My Humanity, but I keep manifesting to her something of the works ad intra [interior] which the Divinity did in My Humanity. Not only this, but the beauty that a spirit of continuous prayer makes her acquire is so great, that the devil is as though struck by lightning, and remains frustrated in the snares He lays in order to harm this soul." Having said this, He disappeared, and I found myself inside myself.

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 27, 1923 Volume 16

This morning my sweet Jesus made Himself seen in a marvelous way. He was standing upon my heart. He had placed on it two bars, above which He had formed an arch; in the middle of it He had fixed a wheel with two ropes, one to the right and one to the left, and a little bucked hanging from it. And Jesus, all hurriedly, made the little bucket descend into my heart; then He pulled it up full of water, and poured it upon the world. He pulled and poured, in such a way as to flood the earth. It was delightful to see Jesus, worked up, dripping sweat, for the effort He made in pulling up so much water... And I thought to myself: “How is it that so much water comes from my heart, even though it is so small? And when did He put it there?”

And blessed Jesus made me understand that all that equipment was nothing other than His Will, which had worked upon me with so much goodness. The waters He was pulling up were the sayings and the teachings on His adorable Will, which He had placed in my heart as though in deposit. And wanting to water the Church in order to give Her the knowledge of His Will, which is more than water, He pulled it up, so that It may be fulfilled as He wants.

Then He told me: "My daughter, this is what I did in the Incarnation: first I placed in My dear Mama all the goods which were needed in order to descend from Heaven to earth, and then I incarnated Myself, forming the deposit of My very Life. This deposit came out from My Mama as life of all. The same will be with My Will. It is necessary that I make the deposit of the goods, the effects, the prodigies and the knowledges It contains; then, once I have formed the deposit in you, It will make Its way and will give Itself to the other creatures. Therefore, see, everything has been prepared – the deposit is almost complete. There is nothing left but to dispose the first ones to receive It, that It may not remain without Its fruit."

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 26, 1921 Volume 13

My sweet Jesus continues to speak to me about His Holy Will: "My daughter, if the Sun is the king of the Universe; if with its light it symbolizes My Majesty, and with its heat My Love and Justice, to the point that when it finds earth that does not want to dispose itself to fecundity, it ends up withering it and it renders it sterile with its burning breath – water can be called queen of the earth, because, symbolizing My Will, there is no point into which she does not enter, nor is there creature who can live without her. Maybe one could live without the Sun, but nobody can live without water. Water enters into everything, even into the veins and the human bowels, as well as into the profound abysses of the earth. In mute silence, it follows its continuous course. One can say that water is not only queen, but it is like the soul of the earth: without water the earth would be like a dead body.

“So is My Will: It is not only queen, but more than soul of all created things. It is the life of each heartbeat, of each fiber of the heart. My Volition, like water, flows within everything — now remaining silent and hidden, now palpitating and visible. Man can subtract himself from My Light, from My Love, from My Grace, but from My Will – never. He would be like one who wanted to live without water. It is true that there may be some crazy one who hates water; but even if he hates it and does not love it, he will be forced to drink it — either water or death. The same for My Will: since It is life of everything, creatures will keep It with them either with love or with hatred, but even though against their will, they will be forced to let My Will flow in them, like blood in the veins. And those who wanted to subtract themselves from My Will would be like the suicides of their own souls. But still, My Will would not leave them; It would follow the course of Justice over them, since It could not follow for them the course of the goods that My Volition contains. If man knew what it means to do or not to do My Will, all would tremble with fright at the mere thought of subtracting themselves from My Will for one single instant."

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 25, 1917 Volume 12

Continuing in my usual state, I was lamenting to Jesus, and I also prayed Him to put an end to the many chastisements. And Jesus told me: "My daughter, why do you lament? This is nothing yet; the great chastisements will come. The creature has rendered herself unbearable. Under the blows, she rebels even more; and she does not even want to recognize my hand that strikes her. I have no other means to use, other than to exterminate her. In this way I will be able to remove many lives which infect the earth and kill My growing generation. So, do not expect an end for now, but rather, more and worse troubles. There will not be a place on earth, which will not be soaked in blood."

On hearing this, I felt my heart being lacerated. And Jesus, wanting to cheer me, told me: "My daughter, come into My Will to do what I do. In my Will you will be able to run for the good of all creatures; and by the power of My Volition, you will be able to rescue them from within the blood in which they are swimming, so as to bring them back to Me, washed with their own blood, with the touch of My Will."

And I: “My Life, I am so bad. How can I do this?” And He: "You must know that the most noble, the most sublime, the greatest and most heroic act is to do My Will, and to operate in My Volition. At this act, which no one else can equal, I display the pomp of all My Love and generosity. As soon as the soul decides to do It — in the act in which the two wills meet to be fused into each other and become one — to give her the honor of keeping her in My Volition, if she is stained, I purify her; if the thorns of human nature envelope her, I shatter them; and if some nail pierces her — that is, sin — I pulverize it, because nothing evil can enter My Will. Even more, all My attributes invest her, turning her weakness into fortitude, ignorance into wisdom, misery into richness, and so with all the rest. Something from herself always remains in other acts, but in these she remains completely stripped of herself, and I fill her completely with Me."

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 24, 1929 Volume 26

I was thinking about the Supreme Fiat, and I thought to myself: “If the Divine Volition wants to form Its Kingdom in the midst of creatures, in what way, then, was the Divine Will in relationship with creatures before the coming of Our Lord upon earth, when He came, and after His coming?”

And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, My Will, with Its Immensity, has always been present in the midst of creatures, because, by Its own Nature, there is not one point in which It is not present, and creatures cannot do without It. It would be like being unable to have or receive life; without My Divine Will all things would resolve into nothing. More so, since the Prime Act of all created things is My Divine Fiat; It is like the head to the members, and if one wanted to say: ‘I can live without head,’ it would impossible for him—the mere thinking it is the greatest of follies. However, reigning is one thing: it is to be recognized, loved, longed for, and to hang upon It like the members hang upon the head—this is reigning; whereas being in the midst of creatures is not reigning if one does not hang completely upon It.

“Now, before My coming upon earth, even though My Divine Will was present in the midst of creatures with Its immensity, the relationships that existed between It and them, however, were as if It lived in a foreign land, and they received from afar the scarce communications, the brief news, that announced to them My coming upon earth. What sorrow, for It to be in their midst, while they do not recognize It, and they keep It so far away from their wills, as if It were in a foreign land. With My coming, since I possessed It as life and My Humanity recognized It, loved It and let It reign, through Me It drew closer to the creatures, and the relationships It had with them were as if It lived no longer in a foreign land, but in their own lands.

“But since they did not know It, nor did they give It dominion in order to let It reign, it cannot be said that My Divine Volition formed Its Kingdom. Therefore, My coming upon earth served to draw the two wills, human and Divine, closer to each other, and to place them in intimate relations, and to increase the news in order to make It known; so much so, that I taught the ‘Our Father,’ making them say: ‘Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.’ If My Will does not live on earth as It does in Heaven, it cannot be said that It has Its Kingdom in the midst of creatures. And therefore, in the time of Its Kingdom, It will be present not only in their midst, but inside each one of them as perennial life; and in order to come to this, It must be recognized— how It is like head and primary life of each creature; and because this head is not recognized, Its strength, Its sanctity, Its beauty, does not flow to the members, nor can It let Its noble and Divine Blood flow in their veins, and therefore the life of Heaven cannot be seen in creatures. So, this is why I love so much that My Divine Will be known—knowledge will make love arise; and feeling loved and longed for, It will feel drawn to come to reign in the midst of creatures.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 23, 1912 Volume 11

Finding myself with my always adorable Jesus, I was lamenting to Him because, in addition to His privations, I also felt my poor heart insensitive, cold and indifferent to everything, as if it no longer had a life. “How pitiful my state is! And even so, I am unable to cry over my misfortune! Since I don’t know how to feel sorry for myself — You, please, have compassion for this heart, which You loved so much, and which You promised so much to receive.”

And Jesus: "My daughter, do not trouble yourself for something that does not deserve any affliction. Instead of feeling compassion for your lamentations and for your heart, I am pleased and I tell you: ‘Rejoice with Me, because I have made a perfect purchase of your heart. Since you no longer feel anything of your own contentments and of the life of your heart, I alone come and enjoy your contentment and your life. You must know that when you do not feel anything from your heart, I pull your heart into My Heart and I keep it there, resting in sweet sleep, while I enjoy it. If you feel it, then the enjoyment is together. If you let Me do, after I have given you rest in My Heart and enjoyed in you, I will come to rest within you and I will make you enjoy the contentments of My Heart.

“Ah, My daughter, this was necessary for you, for Me and for the world. For you: if you had been awake, you would have suffered very much in seeing the chastisements that I am sending now, and the others that I will send. Therefore, it is necessary to make you content not to make you suffer greatly. It is necessary for Me: how much I would have suffered, had I not made you content – had I not conceded what you would have wanted, since you would not permit Me to send chastisements. This is why it was necessary to put you to sleep. In certain sad times of necessity and chastisements, it is necessary to choose ways in the middle in order to be less unhappy.

“It is necessary for the world: if I wanted to pour Myself out with you and make you suffer, as I once made you suffer — therefore making you content by saving the world from the chastisements — faith, religion and salvation would be even more banned by the world, especially considering the attitude of the souls during these times. Ah, My daughter, let Me do, whether I have to keep you awake or asleep. Didn’t you tell Me to make of you whatever I wanted? Do you perhaps want to withdraw your word?"

And I: “But, oh Jesus, it is rather that I fear that I’ve become bad and, because of this, I feel in such a state.” And Jesus: "Listen, My daughter. Is it perhaps that some thought, affection or desire which is not Mine entered into you? If this were the case, you should fear Me, but if this is not, it’s a sign that I keep your heart within Me and that I make it sleep. The time will come when I will wake it up; then you will see that you will take the attitude of before, and since you will have rested, this attitude will be greater."

Then He added: "I make souls of all kinds: I do the ones sleepy with love, the ignorant of love, the crazy of love, the erudite of love. But do you know what interests Me the most? That all be love. I don’t so much as look at the rest, which is not love."

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 22, 1905 Volume 6

I was feeling annoyed for being unable to make certain mortifications, as it seemed to me that the Lord abhorred me, and therefore He would not permit me to do them. And blessed Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, one who really loves Me never gets annoyed about anything, but tries to convert all things into love. For what reason did you want to mortify yourself? Certainly for love of Me. And I say to you: ‘For love of Me mortify yourself, and for love of Me take the reliefs; and both one and the other will have the same weight before Me.’ The weight of any action, be it even an indifferent one, increases according to the dose of love it contains, because I do not look at the work, but at the intensity of love that the working contains. Therefore I want no annoyance in you, but always peace; because in annoyances, in disturbances, it is always the love of self that wants to come out to reign, or the enemy to do harm.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 21, 1935 Volume 33

[Jesus speaking] “... My Love Loves the creature so much, that in putting her forth to the light of day, I established how many acts of love she must make Me, how many prayers, how many good works she must do, and this in order to give her the right that I would always Love her, that I would concede to her Graces, helps, in order to operate good. But the creatures use it in order to form for Me sufferings of waiting. O! how many anticipations from one act of love to another, if they even make it to Me. How much slowness in operating good, in praying, if they even do it. And I wait, and I wait again. I feel the restlessness of My Love that gives Me delirium, yearnings, and gives Me such intimate suffering, that if I could be subject to dying I would have died as many times for however many times I am not loved by the creatures.

“Other than this, there is the long waiting in the Sacrament of My Love. I wait for everyone, I arrive at counting the minutes, but alas, many of them I wait for in vain, others come with a glacial coldness as to place Me at the height of the hard martyrdom of My continuous anticipations. Few are those who we wait for each other, and only in these do I reinvigorate Myself. I feel Myself as repatriated in their hearts, I pour out My Love, and I find a refreshment for the hard martyrdom of My continuous waiting. T o some it seems that this suffering is nothing, but it is the greatest that constitutes the hardest martyrdom. And you can say how much it costs you to wait for Me, so much that if I did not come to put an end and to sustain you, you would not have been able to endure.

“And then, there is another waiting, more sorrowful still: the yearning, the ardent desire, the long anxieties for the Kingdom of My Divine Will. It is about six thousand years that I am waiting that the creature re-enters into It. I Love her so much that I want, I yearn, to see her happy. But in order to obtain this, we must Live with one single Will, such that every act opposed to Mine is a nail that transfixes Me. But do you know why? Because it renders her much more unhappy and dissimilar from Me. And I, seeing Myself in the Immense open sea of My Happiness, and My children unhappy, O! how I suffer. And while I wait, and I wait again, I am around them, I abound with Graces, with Light, for it in a way that they themselves can run in order to Live together with Me, and with one single Will. It will change their fate, we will have common Goods, Happiness without end. The other sufferings give Me some respite, but the suffering of waiting never ceases. It always has Me on guard, it makes Me use the most excessive inventions, it makes Me form the inventions of Love as to astonish Heaven and earth. It makes Me arrive at praying the creature, at supplicating her, that she would not make Me wait anymore, because I cannot take anymore. It weighs on Me too much.

“Therefore, My daughter, unite yourself together with Me to wait for the Kingdom of My Will. And for all the anticipations that creatures make Me suffer, at least we will be together, and your company will give Me refreshment to a suffering so hard.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 20, 1905 Volume 6

This morning I was praying for a priest who was infirm, who had been my director, and I was thinking to myself: “Had he continued my direction, would he be infirm or not?” And blessed Jesus, on coming, told me: “My daughter, who enjoys the goods that are present inside a house? Certainly those who are in it; and even though someone has been there before, only those who are currently in it can enjoy them. For example, as long as a servant remains with his master, the master pays him and allows him to enjoy the goods which are in his house; and when he goes away, he calls another one, pays him and lets him share in his goods. So I do; when something is wanted by Me and is left by someone, I transmit it to someone else, giving him everything which was destined for the other. So, had he continued your direction, given your state of victim, he would have enjoyed the goods pertaining to the state of the one who currently guides you, therefore he would not have been infirm. And if the current guide, in spite of his health, does not obtain everything else he wants, it is because he does not do fully what I want, and even though he enjoys some goods, yet, certain charisms of Mine he does not deserve.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - July 19, 1912 Volume 11

This morning, as I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came and told me: "My daughter, I feel your breath and I feel refreshed by it. By just being close to you, your breath gives Me refreshment; even when others talk about the things that you said for their own good, I feel your breath through them and I am pleased. So, My relief is repeated, and I say: ‘Even through others, My daughter sends Me her refreshment, because if she hadn’t been attentive in listening to Me, she could not have done any good for others. Therefore, she is still the one who sends Me this good.’ So, I love you even more and I feel compelled to come and converse with you."

Then He added: "True love must stand alone. When it leans on something else — even a holy thing or a spiritual person — it gives Me nausea and, instead of content, I feel embittered and bothered. Only when love is alone can I take control and do with the soul whatever I want. This is the nature of true love. But when it does not stand alone, one thing can be done, something else cannot. It is a hindered command, which does not give full freedom; therefore, love feels uncomfortable and constrained."
